I never once felt uncomfortable communicating with Luna.

From the beginning, she was unable to speak, and I fell in love with her that way.

Maybe it was because there was something that communicated without having to make a sound.

But there was always regret.

In order to communicate more easily, I had to always carry a notebook and pen with me, but it felt quite cumbersome.

Also, if it suddenly rained, the notebook and pen were just unusable luggage.

Still, it’s not like you can always take a maid with you just because of a notebook and a pen.

To be honest, I thought it was okay, but Luna vehemently refused.

He said he had no intention of causing trouble for the maid.

If that was Luna’s will, I had to think of another way as a husband.

Make it a little less difficult for her to experience any inconvenience.

But, at that time, I couldn’t do that.

It was because I was busy just doing my part.

And I died just when I realized that I had fully fulfilled my role as one person.

The punishment for starting late was well paid.

But now is different than then.

It’s not that I can afford it, but at least I have enough time to think about you.

After much thought, what came to mind was a pen that could write in the air.

Of course, it was just a vague idea.

I couldn’t tell what structure it was made of or what material it was made from.

No, I didn’t even know if I could make it before that.

But the thought of making you feel at least a little more comfortable made me want to do something.

Because I wanted to be of some help to you in this life.

Three days have passed since that day.

It was finally the day I received the report from them.

In the late afternoon, as the sky was getting dark, I visited an entertainment district.

I tried to avoid coming late at night, but I had no choice since they had to work while the sun was up.

The street, which had been so quiet during the day, now seemed to be filled with heat.

It will definitely start burning brightly when night comes.

As I was walking down the street, I saw several stores already open for business.

Even the women laughing and chatting leisurely in front of him.

It was a very familiar scene to me.

In the past, I would have approached him and said yes, but now I’m not interested.

On the contrary, I felt a sense of repulsion in clothes that clearly exposed my skin.

But that’s not always the case.

‘I think I’d be happy if Luna did it.’

Of course, it’s something you can’t even imagine.

Isn’t it Luna who always sticks to clothes that are not revealing?

But what if.

Really, if the day comes when Luna dresses up like that and pours me drinks, I can drink until I die on that day.

When I imagined that, my face felt hot.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, I hurried my steps with my head down as if I were a criminal.

Eventually, we arrived in front of the hideout.

Perhaps on my way back from work, I ran into them by chance.

The guys who saw me came running and bowed their heads in greeting, and I accepted them by waving my hand.

“Are you doing well at work?”

“Didn’t you see it yesterday? I’m doing my best.”

“Well, I saw it, but it was so unreliable.”

“I feel a little hurt when the boss says that… .”

Richard lowered his eyes and looked disappointed.

Clearly, these guys were working diligently.

I saw it with my own eyes, and Count Arus, who was in charge of the hot springs work after rescuing the buried workers, must have felt the same way.

But, apart from that, I didn’t like the guy’s expression.

What kind of guy makes that look on his face just because of a single word?

For some reason I didn’t like it, so I fed some chestnuts to his forehead.

Taaak-.

Richard was startled and held his forehead.

Anyway, I looked to the side and asked Baine.

“Did you do what I asked you to do?”

“Yes. I did. But there’s a bit of a problem… .”

“Problem?”

“I think I should go to the hideout and explain.”

I didn’t ask you to kill anyone, I just asked you to get some information. Will there be a problem?

That’s what I thought, but the problem was surprisingly big.

“Hey, what are you doing… .”

I couldn’t bear to continue speaking as the scene unfolded before my eyes.

It was so absurd that I even sighed and then went back.

I forgot.

Even though these people are good people, they are a little lacking.

I guess I just told them to find out who it was.

Why on earth did they kidnap me? ?

“Uuuup-!”

It was even done so perfectly.

His arms and legs were tied with cloth and a cloth was wrapped around his mouth to prevent him from screaming.

Why can’t people who are good at this kind of thing do everything I ask them to do perfectly?

When I glared at them with frustration, they slowly averted their gaze.

Fortunately, he seems to know that it was my fault.

I felt like I wanted to do something, but I decided to hold back for now.

If I curse at those who are reflecting, will I only get more animosity?

“Description. Be as short and concise as possible.”

“That’s it… .”

That was Baine’s explanation.

Not only within the territory, but even travelers from other regions looked for craftsmen whose names they could easily recognize.

As I was chasing after him, I happened to find that he was having a snack in an entertainment district and was trying to run away.

As I listened, I was dumbfounded and sighed.

“Ha-, what does that have to do with kidnapping?”

If “ runs away, won’t it take a long time to find you? So, let’s prepare in advance… .”

Baine lowered his head as he said that.

Honestly, it was hard to believe.

Why would a magic tool craftsman with that level of skill feel regretful about eating without a sword?

There would be plenty of money.

But if these guys lied to me, that’s not the case, that’s the problem.

Because these guys are the type of person who honestly admits their mistakes.

He would rather get beaten up by me than lie. Just like it did in the past.

‘No, actually, I like those things anyway.’

What can you do when something has already happened?

All I can do is make the most of this situation and handle it positively.

after-.

I gathered my thoughts with a short sigh.

Then he squatted down and made eye contact with the kidnapped guy.

His eyes shake violently, as if he is frightened.

Maybe he was mistaken that I was a fool.

“Are you okay?”

As I said that, I untied the cloth that was binding his body and mouth.

Once free, he swung his arms and legs around and glared with anger at the three who had kidnapped him.

Anyone would react like that if they were suddenly kidnapped.

But it didn’t last very long.

It must have been because I was standing there in front of them.

No matter how good a craftsman he was at making magic tools, he was just a commoner in front of the nobles, so it was only natural.

After adjusting his posture, he fell flat on the floor.

“Confucius, thank you for saving me.”

“No. I feel sorry for causing trouble to my children.”

“Jo, I’m sorry. Not at all.”

“Please raise your head first.”

He slowly raised his head.

This was the relationship between commoners and nobles.

Regardless of who was at fault, commoners must bow down unconditionally.

Of course, it was truly inconvenient.

‘Surprisingly, you are a person who can communicate well.’

As someone who frequents the entertainment district, I was very worried, but I was glad that it ended up being unfounded.

But isn’t that what makes you even more curious?

“How on earth did you come to eat without eating?”

It is difficult to think that someone who has become so right would have made such a mistake.

There must be some kind of situation.

Is it because I committed a sin?

He hesitated, then sighed and said.

“Actually, I was pickpocketed… .”

“Wow, this must have been a big deal.”

“Well, Confucius knows it well, doesn’t he? What happens if you don’t have money here… .”

I know.

If you don’t have money, isn’t it true that you have to pay it back with your own body?

First of all, it starts with getting beaten up.

Of course, the excuse of paying it back later doesn’t work.

“Well, I still planned to pay it back somehow later! If you make magic tools and sell them, you can make money quickly!”

He vented his anger as if asking me to trust him.

That means I don’t have any money right now.

Rather, it was a good opportunity.

I wondered what would happen if I was busy as a magic tool craftsman, but I guess it was my turn.

“Let’s start with the full name. This is Albert David.”

“Well, my name is Gaius… .”

When I stretched out my hand and spoke, he responded by carefully holding my hand with both hands.

Gaius.

I definitely remembered it.

“Would you like to make a deal with me? Not only will we cover the bar’s credit, but we will also provide generous compensation.”

Gaius’ eyes widened.

It was the first time his eyes sparkled when he met me.
