“This kid?!”

As expected of an adventurer, the surprisingly sturdy pig charged at me.

It was reminiscent of the charge of a giant boar, but that was it.

I lightly blocked the guy’s charge with one hand, and was about to hit his head with the other.

“Stop it!”

At that moment, an order came from upstairs.

Judging from the clothes he was wearing and the authority he gave off, he seemed to be someone of high rank within the guild.

“If you cause more trouble than this, I will impose sanctions as the guild leader.”

Hearing the commotion caused by the guild leader’s shout, the gathered adventurers quickly dispersed.

“Tch, this is about to get fun.”

“Let’s go. The communication is cut off.”

Not everything was scattered.

Some were drinking their way through, some were observing me as if they had become interested in me, and the pig was staring at me as if he was going to kill me, as if he still didn’t feel the gap.

‘hmm?’

Then suddenly I saw a familiar man.

Unlike the adventurers, he had a knightly spirit, and was clearly a 4th-tier knight.

‘I wonder why you’re staring at me.’

At that moment, my attention turned to the guild leader who came down from upstairs.

The guild leader was a very skinny man.

He looked exhausted, perhaps because he had been tormented by adventurers so much.

“You are a distinguished guest visiting Lugardrion today. I apologize for the disappointing treatment.”

“Do you know me?”

“Haha, how could we not know about the nymphs and the guests who came to visit us?”

It seemed like the guild leader had good ears and knew a little about me.

Well then, the story is fast.

“Looking for an adventurer named Colin. Do you know where he lives?”

“Ah, Mr. Colin, the S-class adventurer… ”

The guild leader looked embarrassed at my question.

Just like before, everyone gets noisy whenever Colin’s name is mentioned.

“Excuse me, may I ask how you find that crazy bitch?”

“I’m delivering a letter to a family member of an acquaintance. But is there a reason why you have such a bad reputation that the guild leader calls you a crazy bitch?”

“Because so many accidents have occurred.”

The guild leader said nothing more, perhaps because he couldn’t give a detailed account.

Since I couldn’t pursue any more information, I just received the address of her home and left the Adventurer’s Guild.

Adventurer’s Guilds are usually depicted as romantic in novels, but why do I only have unpleasant experiences?

Where did you go?

“Be careful. The alley is currently a lawless zone due to the number of people.”

“Thank you for your concern. However, from now on, this is our private matter, so there is no need for the guild leader to worry anymore.”

So, following the information the guild leader gave me, I headed to the alley with Nabira.

“Haa… That guy is still following me.”

The pig guy who we hadn’t been able to clean up because of the guild leader was following us.

He wasn’t even alone. He seemed to be trying to threaten me with his subordinates, but he didn’t really pose a threat.

“Cian… ”

“Don’t worry, Nabira. I’ve dealt with more ogres at once than that number.”

“…That story is scarier.”

“Country bumpkin, let’s see how long you can keep being so cocky.”

The pig spoke as he raised his mace. As if he was imagining himself repeatedly hitting me with a thick weapon, he suddenly began to get excited on his own.

“Attack!”

“Huh?”

As the pig guy was about to attack me with his men, one of the men behind the pig guy suddenly started cutting the pigs in half with a halberd.

Looking closely, I saw that it was the knight who had been staring at me from the Adventurer’s Guild.

‘Come on… This is also in the fully ripened stage among the four tiers.’

He was a knight of a higher level of power than the one Camilla had brought with her.

In other words, he was a person who could become the captain of the knights.

Why is someone with such power working as an adventurer?

The knight who slaughtered the pig on my behalf politely asked me a question.

“Are you the Lord of Rugeron Village?”

“Yes. Who are you?”

“I was a knight who served Count Anitul in the past.”

He took off his helmet.

Only then did I remember who he was.

“Sir Gregor?”

“I am honored that you remember my name.”

“Well, it’s a somewhat famous name.”

Gregor.

He was one of the greatest knights in the West, serving Count Anitul.

Of course, it was knocked out with one blow, but it’s amazing that it maintained its form even after taking my blow.

“Is it because of revenge that you appeared before me?”

Count Anitul was punished for violating the nymph protection order by having his entire clan exterminated by the imperial family and stripped of all his power and authority.

It didn’t stop there, the nobles involved with him were also in a precarious situation.

Of course, Gregor, who was his knight, would have been more, not less.

Seeing that he is currently active as an adventurer, it seems that the title he held was also confiscated.

To him, I was the root of everything and he was my mortal enemy.

“Never revenge.”

But contrary to my expectations, Gregor knelt before me and said:

“It was my fault for not being able to stop the atrocities of my former master, Count Anitul. I have no intention of taking revenge on you for that, and I have no justification for it.

“Hmm… So why did you appear in front of me separately?”

“I hope to become a knight of the warrior.”

“My article?”

“Yes, although I have not been able to fulfill my duty as a knight under Count Anitul, I still long to become a noble knight. I want to achieve that dream under the faithful warrior.”

“Hmm… ”

Gregor’s words took a brief political turn.

‘I’m a lifeline to him.’

Gregor would have been isolated from noble society because of his history of serving Count Anitul.

A knight who cannot serve anyone will one day die from thirst for honor.

Of course, it was a good opportunity for me too.

In a few months he will become a count, but it will be a count in name only.

He was just a small lord who started out in the village of Lugeron.

What we needed most, as we were weak in everything, was talent.

In that sense, a talented person like Gregor could have made a fortune.

‘The question is, can I trust Gregor enough to make him my vassal?’

After thinking for a moment, I answered Gregor.

“If you want to serve me as a knight, show me what kind of knight you are.”

“Your name.”

So I picked up a good article on the street.

. . .

I headed to the alley of Lugardrian to meet the village chief’s daughter, Colin.

Of course, as is often the case with city alleyways, the alleyways of Lugardrian also had a rather dangerous smell.

It wasn’t for nothing that the guild leader made that request.

“My lord, be careful. This sweet smell must be a drug made from moon petals that the Miao people treat.”

“Drugs… Does Cat Kit Shop sell these things too?”

“According to rumors, yes. The Miao people are said to have awakening effects from moon petals.”

I took Gregor’s advice to heart, just in case.

‘No matter how much I have a tolerance for poison, addiction is different.’

As we walked down the typical back alley, we saw many vagrants, but they all avoided us, looking back and forth between me and Gregor.

Maybe that’s why the situation was easier than before, so Butterfly said with a faint smile.

“I feel like a noble lady with two strong men protecting me.”

“…Enjoy it while you can.”

“Looks here.”

We were able to arrive at the inn where Colin resides, impressed by Nabira’s calm personality in any situation.

“The motherless bastard inn… The name itself is a bit confusing.”

Should I say that this is a place where a person called a ‘mad dog’ lives? Anyway, I should just deliver the letter quickly and leave.

“Huh?”

As soon as you enter the inn.

I met the same boy I met before again.

“That kid from earlier.”

“Hieeek?!”

“???”

The boy looked at me, ran away in a panic, and then suddenly started calling for his mother.

“Oh my gosh! It’s here! The monster I was talking about earlier is here!”

“A monster… ”

“Yeah, I told you to persuade him better.”

Butterfly scolded me for my child’s surprised look.

No, this is a bit unfair.

“Sigh…Fuck, annoying.”

At the boy’s earnest call, the boy’s mother, who appeared to be an adventurer, appeared with a sword and a harsh curse.

The child’s mother pointed the knife straight at me and said,

“Are you the bad guy who bullied our Aida?”

“I think there’s some misunderstanding… ”

I tried to protest, but those fierce mothers wouldn’t listen to me and attacked me first.

No, really?

visor!

“My lord, I will handle it.”

Naturally, Gregor, who was in front of me, stepped forward first, but perhaps because the inn was so narrow, Gregor, who was heavily armed, had difficulty moving.

There, he started to feel a bit pushed back, whether it was because of his honor as a knight or because he couldn’t show his full potential against women.

“Oh my! You’re really skilled. I’ll do my best too!”

“Huh? I wasn’t strong either! Big guy!”

Gregor, as if he was going to give it his all, began to glow blue on his halberd, and the child’s mother also began to glow red on her twin swords.

“Both of you stop.”

I was worried that a major accident might occur if things continued this way, so I mediated.

However, unlike Gregor, who followed my instructions, the child’s mother ignorantly talked back to me.

“Fuck you!”

“Excuse me? Please refrain from swearing in front of your children.”

I sighed and used to activate it targeting her.

Of course, I retrieved the weapons and equipment she had into my .

“What? Monster, were you a wizard?”

She was naked in an instant and began to feel embarrassed for the first time.

“Ugh… I’m not a wizard. At least do this.”

“Hmm… Wait, isn’t that Nabi-ra unnie?”

“Have you seen your sister now? My sister-in-law hasn’t changed at all.”

???

“Are you Colin, the daughter of Eram, the village chief of Lugeron Village?”

“That’s right. What the hell do you know about me? Are you a stalker?”

“……”
