‘…Is it morning?’

I realized that morning was approaching when I heard the chirping of sparrows.

“Ha.”

I naturally got up.

And then I immediately checked the status window.

▶Lack of sleep: 26◀

▶Fatigue: 30◀

“I don’t think it will go down any further than this.”

I didn’t think I would be able to fall into a deep sleep anyway, so I just closed my eyes, but that didn’t seem to lower my level.

With Episode V approaching, I was wondering how to lower the status abnormality level as it increased, but Karssein’s body seemed to have taken a break of its own.

Even though my body was just keeping my eyes closed, I couldn’t sleep at all.

“…Is it because of that time?”

There is a break time that you can guess. That was probably yesterday.

I may have fallen asleep by accident, but I fell asleep on Harnier’s lap for a long time, four hours, and fell asleep so soundly that I could even dream.

It can be said that Karssein’s body resolved the fatigue and lack of sleep at that time.

“How could I have fallen asleep and come back in this way?”

-Sleep upright. Don’t just focus on work. Okay?

Suddenly, I feel like I’m nagging like something Harnier would do to me, and I scratch the back of my head sheepishly.

“There’s nothing to say about this because I couldn’t sleep even though I tried. Harnier.”

In any case, this is a number that does not impose physical restrictions on activities. I naturally got up from the bedroom, went into the bathroom, and washed myself.

After washing my body, I woke up as I had done every day. A light shower. And jogging and exercising. At some point, I should have followed a basic routine to start the day.

But, that wasn’t the case today.

I immediately put on my hood, took a quick look inside the hotel, and tried to sneak out through the hallway.

“You must not go there. Master.”

“Camilla?”

Although I said it was morning, the time I woke up was set by modern people’s clocks, so it was quite early in the morning. In other words, it is dawn for them.

But at that early morning hour. When everyone else was asleep after a tiring day, Camilla was holding my hand and saying that.

“Are you thinking about going out?”

This is a question that should not be answered in the first place.

but.

[Camila Deol]

[Intimacy: 65%]

At this level of intimacy, it doesn’t really matter.

Even if that’s not the case, there’s no need to lie to Camilla, who has become my ally.

“Okay. I need to go outside for a while.”

“When you say it’s outside… are you saying it’s a private matter?”

“That’s right. I want to go privately without telling not only my family but the entire duchy.”

“All duchess…”

After thinking for a moment, Camilla realized what I meant and began to guide.

“In that case, you need to change direction even more. The maids and servants look around that road the most.”

As expected, he is quick-witted. After looking around, he guides me towards the direction with the least amount of gaze, as if he would not be noticed by the eyes of the maids, servants, outsiders, or even the owner of the hotel.

“If you exit this way and then exit through the back door, you won’t be caught. But… when you come back, could you give us a message from the front gate?”

“Why?”

“If you come back from walking down the street alone, Lady Arina will be suspicious of you. Perhaps because of the aftermath of what happened to you yesterday, the first lady gave me an order to follow you if you go out.”

“Hmm. Really?”

He told me to report it to him if the same thing happens. Since I don’t think I’m going to talk anyway, I guess you’re going to listen to Camilla.

It was like Arina.

I left the hotel, telling Camilla that I would do so.

And, I checked my stat window for the first time in a while.

■Carcein Bagland■ – 18 years old

Lv. 47

▶The SP you have is automatically ??? Used for stats!◀

▶Strength 5.77

▶Agility 7.02

▶Endurance 7.28

▶Stamina 5.35

▶Immunity 1.50

▶??? 47%

‘It went up quite a bit.’

As expected, if we take it more realistically rather than a game, will the system allow that? Perhaps because repeated routines are a fairly healthy lifestyle, the stat increase after a certain level is steadily rising despite the low level.

If it’s like this, it’s okay to at least give it a try.

-Tiring!

▶The location is the ── area.◀

▶Do you still want to enter?◀

A status window that appears when you approach a place where a boundary line is drawn at a designated location.

In fact, this was not a place I could enter right now. no. To be precise, I would say it is a place you must not enter.

Just because the risk level is displayed does not mean that it is all the same field.

There are fields where there is a time limit, and there are fields where the options are thrown out. There are times when a special trigger is activated and you cannot appear unless you proceed with a sub-episode.

However, all of those are only indirect threats and not direct threats. To put it bluntly, this is a place that is directly threatened.

but.

I went there without any hesitation.

Whick!

It had only been a few seconds since I stepped onto the field.

Immediately, an ax started flying towards me.

The moment that hit, Karssein might have died.

The ax’s trajectory was aimed at my leg with bloody force.

but.

-Kang!

I had not neglected my training to the point where I could not hit even a slow object like that.

The stats are great. Even without the help of the system, it was clearly visible to my eyes.

When the ax is struck, the hidden guys appear.

“Ho, I thought some black rabbit came. Did it turn out to be a wild dog?”

“Then what do you do? After all, it’s a wild dog.”

“Hyung. Isn’t it too late now? Give everything you have and go. Then, I will return your limbs unharmed.”

“You’ll have to go back in your panties instead. Hahahaha!!”

▶Outlaws from the East have appeared!◀

▶Battle is forced.◀

A group of thieves with a massive appearance.

As the system window said, they were enemy entities that appeared when you stepped on this place.

This is also a trigger in the game, which creates enemies that appear due to entering a specific field or taking a certain action.

What does that mean?

I already know that those men will attack me when I step here.

As the risk is also in the dangerous level, I am aware that the power of those men is strong, and I am well aware that if I do not step into this field, I may have ignored it and passed on. Because I have memorized it enough to use it as a new retry technique.

However, I activated this trigger on purpose, and was able to obtain one piece of information by hitting the ax myself.

▶Depending on the player’s stats, the risk of the field is reduced.◀

▶The risk level in this area is caution level.◀

also. Was it something like that?

“This kid suddenly starts laughing alone?”

“I lost my mind. Brother?”

“Then, if you pee in your pants, you’ll be in trouble. I have to sell those clothes.”

A man walked towards me, giggling and putting his arm on my shoulder.

“Okay. okay. Don’t panic, just give us what you have. Then what can I say…”

-Slap!

Struggle, thud.

“Ugh, wow!!”

A man’s arm falling freely and blood dripping one beat late.

And the man’s scream rang out even later than the beat.

“Why don’t you just attack them all at once?”

The danger of the field where the battle takes place can be offset to some extent with stats.

That information is enough.

***

The Duke slowly began to open his eyes.

Not only the employees who were supposed to work diligently, but even Isabella, Arina, Claire, and even Flora woke up in a half-asleep state.

What this means is that it is time for Karsein to return as well.

‘Boss… is it still there?’

Camilla, who had been fidgeting, checked the grandfather clock and gulped.

About an hour.

It was the time that had passed since Karssein went outside.

‘When are you coming back… Master?’

Until now, I have somehow been able to take my time.

They said that the sleep time had become longer, so they dragged out the time first.

He pretended to have eaten the food and brought the dish with him, prolonging the meal and wasting time for the second time.

All that’s left is time to wash and put away clothes… but that’s all used up.

Although the dukedom was still unaware of Karssein’s outing, it was not surprising if someone came to visit at any time.

Right then.

-Tuk.

A hand went up to Camilla’s shoulder.

Camilla naturally turned her head and it was only then that she was able to put her mind at ease.

“Young Master…!”

“Hmm. Looks like I’m really late?”

“Please say that…?”

Her true intentions suddenly came out, but Camilla quickly came to her senses and picked up the basket she had prepared.

“You have to go back soon. Here’s the excuse, let’s say I want to drink Hwacha. As for going out…”

“No. There is no need for that.”

“…Yes?”

“Here, there is a solid reason to go out.”

Karssein showed the sword sheath and tapped it.

Now that I think about it… I thought it smelled strangely like blood.

“Let’s go. Camilla.”

“Oh, I understand.”

I see

Master had already prepared everything.

Camilla threw the flowers from the basket under the tree, trying to make an excuse.

***

“There were people who tried to attack Ruthmire’s upper level?”

When Arina asked that question with a frown on her face, I picked up a few wanted badges and showed them to her.

“These are the guys. They say they are the marauders from the east who have been causing trouble because they haven’t been able to catch them, and I just happened to hear the news.”

“…Is that really why you went outside?”

“Then do you need another reason? It’s my territory.”

Arina, who had been looking at the wanted badge for a while, suddenly became silent, and after a while, she checked me from head to toe and asked.

“I’m asking just in case. Who was with you?”

“That’s right…”

I was about to say that I went there alone, but immediately stopped answering.

okay. I think it would be better to mix in some lies here.

“I went there with Radiel.”

“…Radiel. The skills of the leader of the 1st Knights are trustworthy.”

For some reason, Arina was sighing deeply.

If I said I went alone, it would have been a lot of trouble.

I thought it was time to use an excuse.

“Anyway, I have something to say because of that.”

“Say.”

“As you can see from this report, the amount of profit or loss gained from the Ruthmire territory will be different. So the money I actually receive will not match that. Again ─”

When we added the story about Ruthmeyer as seasoning, Arina said nothing more.

but.

That one word was a little different.

“Don’t do such dangerous things next time. Carcein.”

Above Arina’s red ponytail as she leaves the room with her shoes clicking again and again.

A status window came to mind.

[Arina Bagland]

[Intimacy: 45%]

…What is this that increases intimacy?
