As Elsia and I were deciding on our future plans, there was a knock on the door.

“Who are you?”

“Excuse me. My name is Yora, the daughter of Baron Hippo.”

Baron Hippo’s daughter?

“What’s going on?”

“I came to the market at night.”

“Night market?”

It’s a story I’ve heard several times.

This refers to the custom of having a concubine or daughter serve as a night attendant to a high-ranking nobleman in order to flatter him.

Of course, as a father with a daughter, it was something I frowned upon, so I politely declined.

“It’s okay. I have a woman I love right now.”

“Ah… Yes. Okay. ”

A woman named Yora saw Elsia’s beauty and hurriedly left the room.

Looking at this, it is clear that Elsia’s appearance is also above average because she was buried under Sylvia.

“Sian, you don’t have to worry about what I think.”

“Okay. Elsia is enough for me.”

“Still… I can’t have sex because I’m pregnant.”

“There are plenty of ways to share love even if you’re not in a relationship.”

So I spent the night at Baron Hippo’s house.

. . .

“Lugadrian is known for its poor security. Be careful if the water people suddenly approach you.”

“Advice, I would be grateful.”

Baron Hippo gave us some advice.

According to him, the gang members are systematically engaging in pickpocketing, kidnapping, and drug dealing.

It was almost like a cartel, it was absurd.

“Among the people, the only decent organization is Catkit Trading Company.”

“You already have a history of scamming my money?”

“It’s okay, but in the end, Su-in is Su-in… ”

If we were relatively close, I wouldn’t want to deal with these guys, but given the circumstances, I couldn’t help it.

‘Even if it’s close, it’s about three days’ drive away.’

Leaving my regrets behind, I had to prepare for sleeping rough this time.

“Brother Xian, dinner is ready.”

“Thank you for your hard work, Elin.”

“Thank you.”

I asked the senior nymph Fores, who was praying while stroking Elin’s head.

“Fores, is everything okay at home?”

“They said nothing happened.”

“Thank goodness.”

This was the reason I brought Fores this time.

Nymphs could communicate with each other no matter how far apart they were.

A kind of living telephone!

“Don’t worry too much, warrior. Our nymphs can’t fight, but they can prevent combat itself.”

“Still, I don’t want to make you, my family, suffer for no reason. If there’s something I can solve, I’ll solve it.”

“Hehe, are we family too?”

Fores, who smiled brightly at my words, was clearly a man, but his beautiful appearance, characteristic of nymphs, made him a delight to the eyes regardless of gender.

Is this eye cleansing?

“Then, I’m the only one who isn’t family.”

“Ms. Navira, if you keep harassing me, I might get revenge on you someday.”

“Please be careful. You must not make friends with someone who will soon become a count.”

They say that family members start to resemble each other, and Nabi-ra secretly imitated the village chief’s speech.

She sipped herbal tea and told me something new.

“Come to think of it, Lugardrian has a sister-in-law.”

“Are you talking about Mr. Colin?”

“Yes, the village chief asked me to send him a letter when he arrives in the city. You can deliver it yourself.”

Colin.

She was the village chief’s daughter, and was also my father’s disciple who taught me swordsmanship before I met him.

He is said to be a famous adventurer now.

‘When Carlson was an adventurer, you were the one who helped him as a senior, right?’

Perhaps the only self-made man in the village of Lugeron.

“Unlike the women of Rugeron Village, she has a cheerful personality, so she might get tired.”

“Well, it doesn’t matter. I wanted to meet you at least once, and I’m also my father’s disciple.”

Maybe he knows why my father doesn’t teach me swordsmanship, including Auror.

“I hope you stay healthy.”

“That’s right. He’s a person who doesn’t think about the consequences, but he knows how to protect himself.”

“Is that a compliment? Or an insult?”

“Haha, Mr. Si-an, please make the decision.”

“That’s… huh?”

“This is an attack on the warrior.”

“I noticed it too.”

While I was chatting over a meal with my friends, a group of people came towards me.

“I don’t even touch a dog while eating, but you guys are worse than dogs even though you are human beings.”

“What?!”

“Let’s see how long I can stay so proud.”

“They are the ones whose numbers cannot be seen because it is dark. We will kill the males and sell the females to a brothel.”

“Shut up and get out.”

“Eek?!”

The men who had attacked my life began to curl up their tails.

Suin was basically a dog-eat-dog world.

A race that is infinitely strong against the weak, but infinitely weak against the strong.

The one who followed the wildest physiology was Suin.

To them, my will to live is absolute, as I am a Titan and have now attained a certain degree of divinity.

“I can rip your mouths off right now, but I’ll let you off in front of your families. Get out of my sight right now.”

“Yes, yes!”

The people ran away as soon as they answered.

When Nabira saw that sight, she was amazed and then said with a bright smile.

“If only Mr. Cian were here, Lugardrian wouldn’t have to worry.”

“That’s definitely a compliment.”

“That’s right.”

There were several incidents and accidents on the way to Lugardrian, but there were no particular difficulties.

. . .

“Hold on a second.”

As we arrived at the gates of Lugardrian, guards blocked our way.

“This is Lugardrian, managed by Count Ishur. Identify yourself and tell us the purpose of your visit to Lugardrian.”

“ is called. Forest?”

“I’ll take care of it.”

The second reason I brought Forest.

Nymphs have free access to any city gate due to the Nymph Protection Law.

“ni, nymph?”

“I am Fores, a servant of Flora, the goddess of nature and harmony. The reason we have come to this trading city of Lugardrian is to purchase some supplies for our village. If you don’t mind, could you open the gate for me?”

“Yes! It’s possible!”

“Open the door quickly! Bring the security captain now!”

The quick-witted guards began to move busily, and even the captain of the guard brought out soldiers to escort them.

Of course, the last one was a burdensome consideration, so Fores struck first.

“I think this guide is sufficient.”

“Oh, no. It’s hard for me, the captain of the guard, to say this, but our Lugardrian is not very safe because of the watermen. Your safety, Fores, could be threatened.”

I could completely understand the captain’s feelings.

The entire West was in an uproar because one of the great nobles of the West messed with a nymph, so it wouldn’t be strange if the same thing happened to Lugardrian because of some ignorant beastmen.

Of course, their feelings are not my business.

“It’s okay. The warrior here will protect us.”

“That, but still… ”

“If something happens again, I will swear on Flora’s name and make sure that no one gets hurt.”

“…Okay, if you need anything at any time, please let the guards know and they will take care of it right away.”

“Your heart alone is enough.”

So I sent the captain of the guard away and entered the city.

And the scenery was so medieval-like that I was speechless.

‘It’s fucking dirty.’

There were more than a few things that were unsanitary, and I wanted to go home already.

This is driving me crazy.

“Why do you see poop on the street? Why are there so many rats? And why are there drunk people during the day?”

It wasn’t just me who was shocked, Elin and Nabi were also speechless.

Elsia, the only one with city experience, answered my questions as if it were a given.

“An ordinary cityscape.”

“I’m going to turn.”

Still, as expected from a trading city, the market was relatively clean.

“Elin, just in case. Don’t drink any water other than the one I give you.”

“Yes, brother Sian.”

Of course, it was relatively clean.

Compared to the village of Lugeron, which had good water, this waterway was miserable.

‘Oh my, I think there might be cholera bacteria in there.’

Elsia also knows this well. If possible, she was looking for clean products in a clean market.

“Is there no Wisdom Tower soap?”

“Yes. But how much did you find out?”

“You think a lot.”

“One gold coin per person, is that okay?”

Of course it wasn’t easy.

“Why is it so expensive?”

“There is a force that is buying and selling Wisdom Tower soap. These days, soap is more expensive than gold.”

It looks like some crazy people have appeared who are hoarding soap.

In such a dirty city, you can’t even buy soap.

“What should I do? Mr. Cyan.”

“Soap is fine. For this amount of money, it would be better to buy the ingredients and make it ourselves.”

“Then, I will buy only the necessary items, except for soap.”

“Yeah, okay… .”

Suddenly, a cool feeling passed through the back of my neck.

Just like last time, it was the moment when Hestia’s miracle of protecting her family was demonstrated.

“Whoa?!”

A young water man appeared in the alley and suddenly pushed Elin towards the water canal.
