“Ah! It’s Clara!”

Even from afar, Noah Frozenheart’s eyes were clearly gleaming with interest.

At the same time, the tiger girl crossed the noisy crowd without bumping into anything.

The moment Clara stood in front, she kicked the ground with her characteristically cheerful smile.

“Illuminate!!”

“Eek···!”

Noah’s hug narrowed the distance in an instant.

And Clara’s graceful evasion. She follows Rohan perfectly.

Noah didn’t pursue her twice after her hug had missed once.

He just turns his head towards the approaching Ichinose and lets out a loud voice.

“No Se! Did you see that? Am I right? I told you, he’s really fast.”

“Noah··· First of all, I should apologize. Even if you are of the same gender, it is a crime to hug someone without permission.”

Noah pouts at Ichinose’s cold reaction.

When urged to apologize quickly, Noah drooped his tail and ears and said sorry.

Clara nodded to him, saying it was okay, while rolling her eyes busily.

‘That guy, could it be…’

A woman who sticks around like Noah Frozenheart.

A pitch-black hime cut, closed eyes, delicate facial features, an elegant air, and a petite figure smaller than Clara herself.

All the features fit.

‘Ichinose Yui···!’

A famous person you can’t help but know, like Noah Frozenheart.

He is also a famous person who cannot be approached easily even if you know him.

“Are you two going to have lunch?”

Rohan looks at Ichinose and Noah while raising his voice.

He gestured to Clara, who was holding onto his collar, telling her not to worry and that it was okay.

“We’re doing a collaboration at a restaurant here.”

“···Collabo?”

Rohan arched his eyebrows in question.

Ichinose opened her eyes slightly with an extremely serious expression on her face and informed Rohan.

“Waterdrop Friends. Do you know Woolwooli and Bluebee?”

“Ah!”

Rohan, who thought of Ichinose’s favorite character, let out a short exclamation of understanding.

Zion, who had been listening quietly, shook his shoulders.

Ichinose also recognized Sion, whom he had previously encountered at the goods shop, and nodded.

“Noah isn’t interested in the Droplet Friends, but… Noah is the perfect person to eat them until he gets the goods he wants.”

A large meal that is impossible for Ichinose’s small stomach.

Noah seemed proud of the fact that he ate well, and he showed off his confidence by patting his fat-free stomach.

“Weren’t you guys planning on going to that store too?”

“Not us. We’re just looking for a quick bite to eat nearby.”

Ichinose quietly remembered the unique aura of the women who were attached to Rohan.

As Noah said, the girl Clara’s momentary movements were wonderful.

Even though it’s the first time I’ve heard the name, I’m naturally intrigued by his skill.

I don’t know if Noah knows Ichinose’s thoughts or not.

He asked Rohan and the two girls, his tail wagging as it came back to life.

“Would you like to go eat with us?”

“Noah. I made a reservation for two, so that’s impossible.”

“Huh? Is that so? I hate narrow tables!”

“It won’t be too cramped. Even so, since we made a reservation for two people, unfortunately, we can’t go together.”

Ichinose recognized Clara as a burden to Noah.

I’m interested and have a lot to ask, but it’s not right to force a girl like that to come along.

A brief break in the flow of conversation.

Ichinose straightened his sword and spoke to Rohan, who seemed to be at the center of the group.

“I’ll be going now.”

“Bye Bye! Clara and Elf Friends! See you next time!”

When Rohan said goodbye and said he would see me for the afternoon class.

Noah waved his hands and mingled with the crowd with Ichinose.

Next.

Rohan looked at Zion, who had his mouth closed.

“···.”

The girl’s gaze as she watched Noah’s back as he left seemed thoughtful.

Even so, Rohan had no intention of volunteering to take on this issue. It was right to act and right not to act.

It is Zion’s duty to do as she pleases.

Zion bit his lower lip and shook his head, his conflict deepening as he watched Noah moving further and further away.

The girl turned her gaze towards Rohan, and it seemed as if she had decided something during the brief exchange of glances.

He took a step forward and opened his closed lips.

“Wait a minute···!”

A beautiful voice that stops everyone who hears it in their tracks, no matter who sings it.

Ichinose and Noah, who have developed senses, are naturally included in that category.

“Did you call us?”

“I’m sorry for holding you back when you’re busy···.”

In response to Ichinose’s question, Sion responded positively, giving the best example he could within his knowledge.

“No, it’s okay, I still have time.”

So the mood is like, what’s going on?

Zion’s gaze turned away from Ichinose and towards Noah, who was yawning so that everyone could see inside his mouth.

“Noah Frozenheart.”

“Huh? Me?”

Even though he had just mentioned that he was an elf friend, if the other person treated him with such respect, Noah had no choice but to treat him with respect.

Because this is not my home country, Tigrova.

“I am Sion Testarossa, the last of the Testarossa line, the daughter of the late King Weber Testarossa and Queen Melissa Testarossa.”

“Testarossa? What is that?”

“···Testarossa?!”

Ichinose’s closed eyes opened.

Unlike Noah, the more he thinks about the name, the more surprised he is.

Ichinose, who was well-versed in history and information, could not hide his confusion at the name Testarossa.

“What? Do you know who Nose is?”

“Haa··· What if Noah doesn’t know and no one else does?”

It’s too long to explain right away.

I’m not sure if it would be okay for me, a native of Samhwa-guk, to mention usurpation in front of Testarossa.

To begin with, Ichinose wasn’t even sure if the elf girl was Testarossa’s bloodline.

If this is all true, then Rohan is just curious.

‘What on earth are you doing···.’

Ichinose looked into Rohan’s golden eyes as if seeking an answer, but Rohan only showed a mischievous smile.

The conversation between Noah and Zion continued.

“I would like to request an audience with His Majesty the Great.”

“Do you want to meet dad?”

“Yes.”

Noah slowly approached and closed the distance between them, bringing his face so close to Zion that their noses were almost touching.

Zion stood still without turning his head back and accepted Noah’s approach.

“Huh?”

Did the tiger girl, who had exceptional intuition, see something in Zion’s eyes?

He lowered his head as if satisfied and began to sniff the elf girl’s nape.

Noah, who had been absorbed in his sense of smell for a long time, raised his head.

“Okay. Let me ask first.”

“···Do you believe me?”

“I’m too dumb to talk about faith. ”

After finishing speaking, Noah took his smartphone out of his pocket and immediately pressed the call button.

The phone only rang once, but the person on the other end picked up the phone.

“Dad! Are you busy?”

Rohan watched Noah with interest.

I’m sure that the ruler of Tigrova, Emperor Seolho, is answering the phone.

Even though Noah was her daughter, it felt strange that she was directly connected to one of the most powerful people in the world.

“I’m going to eat Nose now! Did Dad eat lunch?”

A simple exchange of greetings between a father and a daughter.

Rohan and his group and Ichinose watched the scene quietly.

Before getting into the main topic, there was a period of small talk between the two women. Rohan racked his brain and chewed on the information.

‘Seolho Daeje… is he a fool for his daughter, just as the community expected?’

Even in Abyss City, Emperor Seolho is only mentioned tiresomely. There is no route for gamers to encounter while playing.

Originally, it would have appeared at some point as patches continued, but Rohan is now in a position where it cannot be seen that way.

Thanks to this, the curiosity in my heart starts pounding.

“I just met an elf in Academy City? Is that you, Weber Testarossa…?”

Zion nodded quickly at Noah’s muttering.

“I have a friend who says she’s that guy’s daughter. She wants to meet her dad. What should I do?”

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Noah responded reflexively as if he was saying something to Seolho Daeje.

At some point, he put his smartphone back in his pocket. It gave Zion the answer he had been waiting for.

“Anytime, anytime. The sooner the better, right?”

“!!!”

“It’s weird that Dad is doing this.”

Even though it was clear that Seolho Daeje was not someone you could easily meet, it was a promise made so easily that it was almost like a mirror.

Was it because it was his daughter’s request that it took effect? Was it because King Seolho responded to the name Testarossa?

Rohan and his party simply cannot understand this.

“···Rohan.”

“Yeah. Tell me.”

Let’s give Rohan a smile as if he’s proud.

Zion, feeling better, took a step closer to Rohan with an excited voice.

The breasts hidden under the hood were barely touching each other.

“Can I go to Tigrova today? I’ll go as soon as possible.”

Ichinose and Noah couldn’t help but be suspicious of the girl asking Rohan for permission.

Because I wondered if among the elves I had met, there had been one that was so gentle with the opposite sex.
