Exactly three days passed.

And the Deltans reached the village right in front of the land of the dragon tribe.

It was an unbelievable speed.

Obviously, if things had gone according to the initial plan, we would have whined before we even got to the second village.

‘I didn’t know they developed a buggy.’

Who knew?

I never thought that within Achilm, this prince would have developed a car similar to the buggy on Earth.

I had no idea that the buggy was drastically reducing the speed of crossing the desert.

Alem branch of Colifen.

Deltan sat at the table on the first floor of the inn and stared at Prince Alias.

‘really… .’

It may be burdensome, but he is a great person in many ways.

It got to the point where I thought that if I had met this man in Hebron, Delta, we might have developed a pretty good relationship.

No, that’s probably what happened.

Delta people were fundamentally people who enjoyed being looked at with admiration for them, and they were also people who wanted to keep people by their side who would benefit them.

While continuing his thoughts, Ilias felt the Deltan’s gaze and opened his eyes.

“Hmm? Why but. Could it be that I finally find an answer to my heart… .”

“Turn off.”

“Cold.”

Ilias laughed.

Deltan clicked his tongue and looked away.

Eril approached before he knew it and held out a glass of water to Deltan.

“Lady! Here is the water.”

“Uh. Thank you.”

The reason why Eril from the Perm branch followed him here was purely because of the Delta people’s convenience.

When looking for a new person, it was difficult to find an attendant as perspicacious as Eril, and the biggest reason was that adults were uncomfortable with Deltans.

A man is a man, a woman is a woman.

There is a reluctance to entrust Agnes’ care to a stranger.

“Okay, let’s stop and eat first.”

Ilias said.

Deltan looked at the steak served by the waiter.

It was a demon beast meat with a high mana content, and it was meat that was not stocked at the inn but was airlifted from Ilias.

The quality was definitely good and the taste was pretty decent.

Ilias asked as the Deltan began to cut the meat.

“So, do you go straight into the dragon’s nest?”

“No. I will wait for the group here.”

“Hmm?”

“I requested a hunting dog from the Count’s residence. It will arrive within the day after tomorrow at the latest.”

“Oh… !”

Ilias’ eyes sparkled.

In the Deltan’s view, the topic of the Count of Hebron was a good way to remove the sex drive from his person.

“Hounds of Hebron! They came all the way here!”

“uh.”

“But isn’t it also demon hunting? Even if you just call me like that… .”

“It’s okay.”

After saying this, Deltan suddenly stopped cutting the knife.

The reason was that this explanation did not seem to be able to convince Ilias.

‘I heard you’ve collected quite a few rumors.’

Ilias knew things about himself well enough to make me wonder if he was stalking me.

Even the fact that you don’t do favors to others without a reason.

Deltan added.

“I erased the debt. I have only been given permission to use hunting dogs twice, and this is the second time.”

“I see.”

“Anyway, that’s what I know.”

“I’m looking forward to it.”

Ilaas was excited, shaking his body as if his expectations were not just words.

“The person I am most curious about is Lord Kaltara. I heard he was bigger than most adult men. What is it like? Is it true?”

“It’s not big.”

“Is this person really capable of destroying a building with his bare hands? Ah, this is a bit of a stupid question. He was none other than a road-level knight and he asked an obvious question!”

The sight of him being excited like a boy is both absurd and funny.

What on earth is this Deltan? I looked at Ilias with that thought in mind, but then quickly turned my attention off of him.

The third night passed like that.

*

The next day, Deltans had to face an unfamiliar morning.

The reason I opened my eyes was because of my stuffy breathing.

Even though I tried to wake up my mind, the reason I felt so lethargic was due to my lack of physical strength.

Even if lack of exercise is severe, can it be this severe?

As always, ‘a body like trash… Deltan stood up muttering the words, and stretched greatly.

As he did so, he rang the bell in the room.

This time too, Erin appeared less than a minute later.

“Are you awake!”

“uh.”

“Here’s cool water!”

Eryl held out the glass of water she had brought with her.

As expected, he is quick-witted.

When everything is done, how about taking him to the mansion?

I was already trying to find a new servant, but I thought Gerhart would be satisfied with Eril.

‘… ‘I’ll think about this again when it goes back to the system.’

Gerhart won’t come anyway.

It was already too early to worry about it.

“What are you going to do today?”

“Huh?”

“Do you have any other plans?”

Eryl’s eyes were bright.

It was a face full of enthusiasm, but Deltan looked at the face with a chuckle and stroked Eril’s head.

“I won’t do anything. You too, take a break today.”

“Yes?”

“The group hasn’t arrived yet.”

“Ah… .”

“Oh, I need to wash first, so just prepare some water. Use the rest as free time.”

Eryl nodded and walked quickly toward the bathroom.

Deltan then yawned slightly and stood up.

*

free time.

It was an unfamiliar concept to Eryl.

That’s because, ever since the time she remembers, Eryl has never invested a single day of time into something called ‘play’.

It was abandoned on the street when he was about two or three years old, and the person who picked it up was the head of the Kolipen Perm branch.

At the time, it was a local inn with no name called Coli Pen, and the branch manager said that he had brought him in because he needed a worker who raised him from a young age and could take care of all the chores.

I didn’t say it out of shame.

In fact, the branch manager has been making Eryl do chores ever since she turned five, and now, 10 years later, she is even trying her hand at kitchen work.

He was a grateful person, but for that reason, Eryl did not like the Perm branch chief.

This is why you had to be beaten on days when you made a mistake at work.

… Anyway, it wasn’t important right now.

There is only one important thing.

‘free time… .’

How should I use this time?

Alem, the eastern tip of Ahilm.

The street was a scorching sight, blazing with desert heat.

It was hotter than Perm, where Aeril lived, which was one of the mysterious characteristics of the Palantir Desert, which gets hotter the closer you get to the land of the Balaur.

As a related joke, would it be understandable if there was a saying, ‘It’s because the wrath of the fire dragon Palantir is closer to the place?’

It was a joke that originated from the desert.

Eryl thought about him for a moment and then walked away.

In his hand was one gold that the young lady had given him.

This is truly a lot of money.

Despite saying it was burdensome to receive, Deltan was pushy.

-I don’t carry anything below the gold level. Change is heavy.

Eryl said while snorting, but at that moment, the thought of ‘cool’ came to mind.

Eryl giggled.

Since the young lady was just in his mind, Eryl made up his mind.

‘I should at least buy you a present!’

Let’s buy a gift for the girl who gave us our free time!

The place I headed to with such confident steps was a clothing store.

Jing-

The door opens and the bell rings.

“Welcome to fifty… !”

The owner of the store, who had jumped up with a bright face, immediately looked sad when he saw Eril’s behavior.

“… It’s not a kids playground. Go.”

Eryl understood that expression.

What he looks like now is a tattered uniform and unkempt hair.

Moreover, since it doesn’t look cute, its owner may think it’s a beggar who came to beg.

But, it shouldn’t have been like this.

Now I am here to buy a gift for the young lady.

As I was determined to buy the best gift, I needed the host’s cooperative attitude.

“I came to buy clothes! I will give it to you as a gift!”

chin!

Eryl held out 1 gold on the counter.

Then the owner’s complexion changed in an instant.

“Ouch! You came here to buy clothes for the person you serve!”

The brightly lit face belonged to a merchant who smelled money.

Eryl didn’t think he would believe her.

‘They’ll probably think it’s a lie.’

You might think of it as buying clothes with stolen money.

Nevertheless, the fact that they agree with each other… No matter what position you are in, as long as you have money, you will be judged as a customer.

It wasn’t important.

Eryl smiled brightly.

“The lady is a draftsman! People say that desert clothing is stuffy, but you need thin clothing that covers your skin!”

“If that’s the case, there’s something that’s just right. Let’s see… Where did this go? Wait a minute, let me take a look inside. Would you like to wait?”

The owner said that in a friendly manner and disappeared into the room.

That moment.

“Push… !”

A man’s laughter was heard from behind.

Eryl jerked! I turned my head.

And I let out an exclamation.

“Ah… .”

beauty.

Eryl immediately thought of that thought.

He was a man sitting on a luxury chair in the store. He was wearing a black suit, probably from the government, and his skin was white enough to remind me of a young lady.

But unlike the young lady, it was intense.

Hair burning bright red, golden eyes shining like the noon sun.

The man had sharp facial features that looked as if he would be intimidating at the slightest frown, but perhaps because the man was smiling, he seemed more intellectual than sharp.

“Oh, sorry. I didn’t mean to laugh.”

The man said.

Eryl quickly shook her head.

“Oh, no!”

“You must be a servant?”

“From beginning to end… Well, no. There is someone who appoints me to be their guide. I’m a girl from the islands!”

“Really? This is an amazing coincidence. I also come from an archipelago.”

“Looks good! She has white skin like our lady! Oh, the hair color is different. Our girl is blonde! The eyes are pink, and they are as bright as a flower that only blooms in warm countries!”

Eryl smiled and chatted.

Can I talk about you like this?

That thought came to my mind for a moment and then disappeared.

That’s why the man listening to the story had such a gentle demeanor.

He looked at her with a gentle gaze and nodded, but the chit-chat seemed to get people excited, so before he knew it, he had told her everything about the young lady.

Then the man said as if he was interested.

“Hmm, really? I think it’s someone I know.”

“Yes? Really?!”

“Yes, actually, the reason I came here is because I have someone to meet.”

At that moment, a word passed through Eryl’s mind.

-I requested a hunting dog from the count’s residence. It will arrive within the day after tomorrow at the latest.

Eril’s face turned pure white.

“Sa, hunting dog… ?”

“Oh, I guess I really know this person?”

The man grinned.

Only then did Eryl think, ‘Oops.’

“Excuse me!”

Oh my goodness, is there such a coincidence?

Eryl felt dizzy as she didn’t know how to react to today’s customer she met at the clothing store.

The man stood up and spoke, whether he was aware of such a sign or not.

“Okay, it was a coincidence that we met like this, but picking out clothes. I’ll help you.”

“Yes?”

“Your young lady’s taste. Because no one knows it better than me.”

The man’s smile was somewhat playful.

And in the situation that immediately followed, Aryl came up with a guess.

“Huh? Sir, do you know this child?”

“Okay, show me your clothes.”

“Ah, here… .”

“Pass that. It’s too light and I don’t like it. Keep the one next to you for now. Also, wrap the fourth and sixth items and repair the seventh item a little. The skirt is too short. That girl doesn’t like short skirts.”

Could it be that this man has something of a relationship with the young lady?

That was the guess.
