It feels like a storm has passed by.

It’s not a threat, but it’s annoying.

Since the ending was perfect, I had to assume that there was hostility.

“That noble···what was his name···”

“Butadon.”

“Oh, that was the name. Judging from what he does, doesn’t it seem like he’d be quite annoying?”

“What··· Those guys are obvious.”

Sabrina’s attitude is that it’s no big deal.

It makes sense that he had a position that he could do that.

“By the way, who was the person that was dragged away by the soldiers earlier?”

“Ah··· I haven’t told Nabiani yet.”

“I accidentally hit you, so I think I should apologize···”

Well, I don’t think that’s necessary.

He’s not even a worthy opponent.

Because I did something that was right in the first place.

“You don’t have to do that. You were picking a fight with us.”

“Is that so? I think it was a bit too much”

“Rather, it would be fortunate if they weren’t gnashing their teeth and trying to get revenge on us by now.”

Even though we only met once, I could get a general idea of his personality.

He is a pig noble who is full of pride.

Since he left in such a bad way, there will definitely be no good feelings.

“That’s right. Don’t worry about it.”

“Judging from your attire, you seem to be a noble···”

“There are nobles, but there are a lot of corrupt guys who inherited their wealth. It’s wiser to prepare for an attack.”

As I was watching their conversation, one thing came to mind.

I should tell Navia too.

We didn’t just meet once and that was it, we became colleagues.

Fortunately, it seems like there won’t be any problems since they’re talking naturally.

“Nabi. I have something to tell you···”

“ ···?”

“That’s why I spent so much time here yesterday··· To cut to the chase, Sabrina decided to join our party.”

It was a slightly excuse-filled remark.

It took so long because I was defeated by my sexual desire.

Given Nabi’s personality, she would have forgiven me if I had been honest, but it still stung.

“Ah··· I see! That’s great. A high-level adventurer in our party··· It feels like our party has suddenly gotten a lot stronger!”

“I will take good care of you in the future, Sister.”

The two beauties smiled as they exchanged light greetings as colleagues.

It was the same laugh, but the atmosphere was completely different.

“Now that Sabrina has joined our party, I think we can take on better-paying quests.”

“Hmm··· It’s good to be motivated, but I think I still have to wait a little bit.”

“Is there a reason?”

Sabrina answered Navia’s question in a kind voice.

“I’m sure that noble will come back. If he comes during the quest, things could get a bit annoying, right?”

“Will he come that soon? He looks like a noble, so I don’t think he’ll come out so hastily.”

I questioned Sabrina’s statement.

No matter how noble they are, we now have a high-level adventurer.

Even nobles cannot treat him lightly.

It’s not just reputation that suffers when you rush in.

“You have no idea what kind of guy the lord of the territory you’re living in is?”

“Yeah··· Well··· I’m not really interested.”

“He’s quite famous. He’s a noble from the princess faction who does whatever he wants, and his inherited assets and influence are quite large.”

“When I hear the name, I feel like it would be a huge headache if I touched it.”

This does not mean that he is simply a nobleman from the frontier.

Since you’re in a faction, you can turn the entire faction into your enemy.

“Do you know the current situation in this country?”

“You probably know that the princess and the prince are fighting over who will become king.”

“They don’t fight openly, but they fight quite fiercely behind the scenes, such as over achievements.”

It’s a common story.

That’s why I wasn’t very interested until now.

Because I thought it was a story that had nothing to do with me.

“Anyway··· You’re saying that touching that nobleman is annoying?”

“But that doesn’t mean I can’t kick away the sparks that are flying at me.”

“I’ve already done it to some extent. You suddenly showed up and gave me a really annoying problem.”

“If you give me the right card, it’ll be a different story.”

“ ···?”

Sabrina looked at me with a languid smile.

It was clearly the smile of a witch plotting something.

“Actually, Butadon is quite a headache for the princess’ side. They’re from the same faction, but they cause too many accidents.”

“But it has enough influence to make you leave it alone, right?”

“So··· if we just deal with it and join the princess’ side, wouldn’t they accept it as well?”

It’s a reasonable suggestion in its own way.

We have Sabrina on our side, and I’ve gotten pretty strong myself.

Nabija nodded as if she understood.

“But··· there will be various problems like land management, right?”

“When you look at him, do you think he manages the territory competently?”

“···Honestly, I don’t think so.”

“That’s right. Most of the time, I leave it to my subordinates. So, if there’s enough merit, there won’t be a problem.”

“That’s a nice story. If we deal with that pig… no, Butadon when it comes to attack, we won’t have any particular problem with the justification.”

But still the problem remains.

Even if it is only superficial, you must join the princess’s faction.

“I feel like I’m just sticking to the princess’ side and getting involved in a factional fight for no reason.”

“Just help me out a little. I don’t think they’ll expect that much anyway. If you think I’m asking for too much, you can refuse.”

I guess we can leave the details to Sabrina.

He’ll do a good job because he’s more knowledgeable and capable than me.

“Let’s leave that part to Sabrina, but the problem is whether that pig will come in on its own… When will it come? I can’t just wait.”

“It won’t be that far. Rather, I might be busy preparing.”

“ ···? How are you going to prepare?”

Looks like there’s already a plan.

Sabrina’s expression was quite meaningful.

As if he was going to pay dearly for bothering me.

“Finally··· This inn is located a bit far away, so it shouldn’t be a problem to rent it for a few days.”

*****

“Kuaaak···!!!”

Butadon returns to the mansion.

He had been glowing for dozens of minutes.

The reason is that he, a nobleman, returned in a miserable state.

“How dare you··· How dare you···! That bitch and the lowly adventurer···!”

The part that was hit still hurt.

Of course, it was actually Nabija who hit him, but I guessed it was one of the two.

“Absolutely···! I won’t leave those two guys alone···!”

The moment when I was venting my anger alone.

There was a noise at the window.

The person who came inside was the collaborator I had met a few days ago.

“Yeah···! You guys···!”

As the Butadon approached, the man and woman frowned.

It’s an expression that clearly shows that he doesn’t want to meet you.

But now, Butadon didn’t have the luxury of caring about that.

The only thought I had was revenge.

“Things didn’t go well, I guess.”

“Yes···! That witch attempted a preemptive strike! Mierdan!”

“You said you made a preemptive strike···?”

The man whose name was called frowned even more.

Because things went worse than expected.

“We have to deal with that witch! You guys help too!”

“We are not your subordinates.”

The woman who was watching eventually expressed her displeasure.

But Butadon completely ignored it.

“If I’m wrong, you guys will be in trouble too···!”

“ ···Okay. Bye.”

Mierdan calmed the woman down.

It was closer to giving up on the conversation than accepting the situation.

The story ends with the woman looking at Butadon with pitiful eyes.

“That witch···! You guys work together to get rid of that bitch···!”

“···As you know, we can’t go public yet.”

“Ugh···!! You useless brat! I’ll report you as useless!”

“It’s not that I won’t help you.”

At his one word, Butadon immediately changed his attitude.

“I’m sure you’ll prove your worth, right? If things go well, I’ll tell you up there myself!”

“···Take this.”

What Mierdan handed over was an object wrapped in cloth.

Butadon unwrapped the cloth without hesitation.

“This is···”

Even Butadon, who had little combat prowess, could tell.

It was a horn filled with tremendous power.

An ominous and chilling atmosphere seemed to gradually overwhelm the surroundings.

“Using it will give you great power. You can see how great it is, so you should be able to tell.”

“Okay, that’s enough! I’ll have to capture those guys right away with my soldiers!”

“The opponent is a witch. Capturing it alive is not so good···”

“Shut up! That bitch can’t just be destroyed!”

Advice was useless.

It is common sense that capturing them alive is difficult.

Mierdan and Byra wanted to say something, but the result was the same.

“Mierdan···”

“Don’t worry. Byra. Even if you’re an idiot, with that much power, you can accomplish something. At least we did our best.”

Although he said that, his expression was not very good.

I wanted to trust the power that was given to me rather than the Butadon.

Of course, it was hard to bear seeing him grinning like a pig.

“Before you go, make sure to tell your superiors. We helped you.”

“Don’t worry. Your help will definitely be delivered.”

Butadon immediately ran out to prepare.
