Carlos.

He was one of the adventurers with a well-known name within the guild.

Although it does not appear in the novel, he has a hot-blooded personality that does not hesitate to throw a punch if his client’s thoughts differ from his own, as well as an arrogant mindset that thinks others are inherently inferior to him.

His arrogant thoughts and attitude were enough to irritate the adventurers in the same profession, but they still did not say a single word of displeasure to Carlos.

The reason is that even though he was known for his foul mouth and bad behavior, he was famous in the guild for his skills alone, so the adventurers felt uncomfortable with him but couldn’t say anything.

They also knew that the skills he possessed were real and not a lie.

That’s why the guild doesn’t like him, but they can’t easily deal with him because if they expel him from the guild, there’s a risk that he’ll join another guild, given his immense power.

“Ha..I don’t know where you came from and what you’ve been doing, but you seem to be a bit more aggressive than I thought. But you know..No matter what, you’re worse than me.”

Carlos spoke as he slowly approached Aion, as if intentionally trying to provoke him.

The reason he intentionally provoked Aion was none other than to break Aion’s pride.

Carlos, who thought that Aion would get angry because his pride was scratched in front of everyone, intentionally scratched Aion’s pride.

However, Carlos’s move was so childish and obvious that Aion, who knew his intentions, did nothing to respond.

At Aion’s unexpected reaction, Carlos scratched Aion and then looked at him with a serious expression.

“You’re really a hothead..you really are.”

Carlos openly expressed his displeasure by frowning when Aion did not move as he had expected.

He then looked at the request paper in Aion’s hand and spoke to Aion with an arrogant expression.

“Hey. Do you want to do this request with me?”

The guide who was listening to Carlos’ unexpected words from the side also turned his head as if he had misheard the conversation and looked at Aion and Carlos.

The reason was that Carlos had suggested the party.

He was a person who never formed a party and always walked alone because he extremely hated anyone interfering with his actions, but for some reason, he proposed a party to Aion.

“………”

And Aion, who was listening to this, looked at Carlos and thought about his unexpected actions.

The Carlos he knew wasn’t the type of person to suggest a party to someone, so Aion was wondering what his plan was.

Carlos, who saw Aion like that, looked at Aion with a mean smile on his face.

‘How dare you… Not only intercept the request I had placed in your care, but you also embarrass me in front of everyone? I will complete the request in a more awesome way and trample on you..!!’

In fact, Carlos was planning to steal his achievements and attention under the pretext of partying with Aion.

He invited Aion to a party with him, hiding his evil intentions.

After seeing Carlos’ actions, Aion remained silent for a while.

‘If I get involved with Carlos, I won’t be able to avoid trouble… But he’s not the kind of guy who’ll give up right away just because I reject him here.’

Aion was looking at Carlos who seemed suspicious somewhere and thinking endlessly.

Aion had no idea why Carlos, who had such strong pride, had asked him to join his party.

“Okay, I’ll accept that offer.”

In the end, Aion had no choice but to accept Carlos’ offer.

Carlos, who was just a madman and not a clear-eyed madman, would have continued to pursue Aion even if Aion refused.

Aion eventually went to a village occupied by bandits to go on a quest with Carlos, unaware of his evil nature.

***

At that time, Danawa and Fre, who were left at home, were bored to death.

When Aion, who used to play with them every day, went out to earn money, the girls who used to play with them for about an hour eventually couldn’t overcome their boredom.

Danawa and Fre were waiting for Aion in the living room with their dog.

“When will you come, sir..”

“I want to see you soon..”

They spoke while waiting for Aion who never returned.

Seeing them like that, Mongmongi was showing off his cuteness to them and relieving their boredom.

But still, they couldn’t shake off the feeling of boredom.

So they waited patiently for Aion to come.

How long had she been waiting? Dana, who had been waiting for Aion without any reason, suddenly turned her gaze and began to take interest in one place, which was Aion’s room.

Since he never really closed the door when he left for work, he could easily come and go without any problems whenever he wanted.

Dana, who was staring blankly at Aion’s room, poked Frey’s ribs with her finger, who was looking bored.

“Eww!”

Fred was startled when Dana suddenly poked him in the side and made a cute sound like a puppy.

She puffed out her cheeks as she looked at her sister who had poked her in the ribs.

“What’s wrong!”

Fre suddenly got cutely angry at her sister for playing a prank, and Dana, who seemed to be enjoying Fre’s reaction, quickly pointed to Aion’s open room with her hand and said.

“Want to go into my uncle’s room?”

“Ah..uncle’s room…?!”

Fred asked back as if he had misheard Dana, but Dana nodded with a bright smile.

And then he said this:

“Mister, you cook for us and play with us every day, but today, you didn’t do anything for us and just received, right? So let’s clean your room as a surprise gift!”

Dana tried to persuade Frey with some suitable words.

In fact, Dana had no interest in cleaning; she just needed a good excuse to enter Aion’s room.

It was Aion’s room that she could enter if she wanted to, but Dana wanted to go with Fre rather than go in alone, so she teased her younger brother Fre.

At her older sister’s words, Frey nodded as if she was somewhat convinced.

In fact, Fredo must have been curious. What Aion’s room looked like.

Fre eventually accepted Dana’s offer to enter Aion’s room, which he had always only seen from beyond the threshold.

The two girls, who were so curious, invaded Aion’s room without permission.

Mongmongi, who was watching this, looked at Danawa and Fre as if to say that it shouldn’t be done, but they led Mongmongi into Aion’s room.

The first thing they did when they entered his room was to throw themselves on the bed he woke up in every day.

Dana threw herself onto the bed where Aion lay every day without a moment’s hesitation.

Dana dived into the bed like that and went under Aion’s blanket, twisting her body in delight as if she was addicted to the scent of Aion that she could feel from the bed and blanket.

“Hey..Sister, you can’t do that..!”

Seeing Dana like that, Fre approached her and said.

Fre couldn’t hide his envious expression as he watched Dana rolling around on Aion’s bed.

In fact, just like her older sister Dana, Freud wanted to jump into Aion’s bed and roll around, but her conscience made her hesitate.

In the end, all Fred could do was look at her rolling around and feel envious.

“Huh~~?”

Dana smiled with her eyes wide like crescent moons as she watched her younger brother like that.

Soon the devil came to Frey’s side as if tempting him and whispered quietly.

“Are you really not going to come in? If you come in here, you can feel the warmth of the old man~?”

Dana said that while lifting one side of the blanket.

As Dana lifted the blanket, a familiar and nostalgic smell wafted out, and Fre, who was barely able to hold on to his senses, eventually gave in to his instincts and jumped onto the bed.

As soon as she lay down on the bed, Freya was delighted by the scent of Aion that wafted out, and she wriggled her body together with her sister in delight.

Danawa and Fre giggled in delight at the smell and warmth of his body on the bed.

After rolling around in Aion’s room for a while, they began to feel increasingly sleepy.

“Haam…I’m sleepy…”

“Me too….”

They fell into a deep sleep without any resistance, in a warm bed and blanket, and in a bed that smelled like Aion.

Perhaps it was because his scent and warmth lingered. They eventually fell asleep in Aion’s room.

Mongmongi, who had been watching all this from the side, let out a ragged breath as if sighing, and eventually climbed onto the bed where they were lying and fell asleep with them.
