“I think something will come out of this.”

The moment I was about to talk about my connection to Princess Haehwa.

Erintina opened her mouth a little faster.

“What is coming out?”

“If I knew you, I thought you would say you know someone.”

“Don’t you know me too well?”

I laughed out loud at Erintina’s words.

I wonder if I was this easy to read.

“So who is it this time? “He also seduced Princess Mona, but I wonder who he couldn’t seduce.”

“I can’t believe you seduced me. “Nonsense.”

“Princess Haehwa, right? “Have you become friends with that person?”

Without even listening to me properly, Erintina revealed her wishes without hesitation.

I said with a small sigh.

“It doesn’t matter that it’s too predictable.”

“also! I knew it. “There’s no way you could just leave someone like that behind.”

Erintina burst out laughing.

It seems like it was fun to see his predictions come true.

“It just so happened to be like that.”

“Okay, okay. I wondered why that excuse didn’t come out. If you have connections with the princess and not with other people, then it is a good investment. “Have you discussed anything with them yet?”

“I’ll have to bring it up the next time I come. And it’s not a good time to go in already. “You could just use a dump for no reason.”

If we got in too early, our money could have been spent repairing the mess the front line was in.

A certain amount of upfront investment is required to establish oneself at the forefront of the North, but isn’t it okay to find cost-effectiveness in the process?

It was not right to criticize a merchant’s calculation of profits.

In that respect, it was not yet an appropriate time for us to intervene.

“Are you confident that you can continue to be friendly with that princess?”

“Of course I should.”

How would you carelessly do this when you have built up so many connections?

We planned to build a relationship by pampering him.

Just like it was with Yul.

“As expected, it’s amazing. “There is no one as talented as you at seducing people.”

“Stop talking nonsense, so you agree to my plan?”

The question was whether she would try to take control of the northern front lines, and Erintina said, showing her clenched fists.

“of course! If we reach the northern front lines, who will dare touch our top? But before that, I want to go to the north myself. “I think I can make an estimate only when I see what the situation is like with my own eyes.”

“However much. It would be easier for me if you went directly. “It would be good to provide some help there on the way.”

Erintina received unique equipment from me, and has completed strengthening to level 12 and level 5.

Princess Haehwa may be a very talented person, but she is not as reliable as Erintina participating in the battle.

-Take me too!

Damon, who had been flying into Erintina’s arms ever since he met her and had no intention of leaving her, suddenly intervened.

The boy, who was enjoying being affectionately stroked by Erintina, said something mean-spirited, as if he wanted to change his owner.

“Sseup- be quiet.”

When she shut up Damon who was talking nonsense, Erintina gently scratched Damon’s neck out of pity.

Damon grunted and exposed his stomach as if he liked it.

It was a side that had never been shown to me before.

“Why are you petting her like that just because she’s pretty?”

This scenario disappeared when he became mine, but I was still wary of Damon.

Because I knew very well how that guy ruined Erintina by whispering to her.

The reason why I couldn’t relax even though the future had disappeared was because it was a very harmful entity to the human spirit.

One of the ways I guarded against the bastard was to never let him near Erintina.

I grabbed Damon, who was resting comfortably in Erintina’s arms, and placed him on my lap.

Quack!

I didn’t put much force on my hands, but Damon started struggling, making a dying sound.

“Stay still.”

-Wow!! I hate it!! I’m going back!!!

Damon, who found out that the spirit under Erintina’s care was unusually plump and shiny, was regretting not having acted more pitiful when he was handed over to me in the past.

“Aren’t you holding me too hard?”

Erintina, who would turn into a soggy bun if she were a spirit, was restless and worried about Damon.

“You don’t think the spirit will just explode and die at this level, do you?”

“No. But since he’s suffering, I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to be a little considerate. Spirits need to be raised with love, but you are taking too much care of yourself.”

“Isn’t it okay to be chubby?”

“… Yes, I feed my child well, but just because I feed him a lot doesn’t mean I give him all the love. And you don’t even have a spirit plant in your house. “Even if I give them a few gifts, they don’t like it.”

A play area where spirits can play when they are bored, spirit candles that emit a scent that spirits like, etc.

Erintina was a friend who excelled at being a butler, and I thought that I should also play that role.

I could understand why she acted like this because I knew what the spirit was to her.

If I had raised animals and behaved like I treated Damon, I would have looked at them and called them trash.

Showing only this level of reaction was showing great patience on Erintina’s part.

“He doesn’t like that.”

-no! You might like it.

Does Erintina know what she is offering and say that?

Maybe he’s so greedy that he’s just saying that because he likes it when he gets something of his own.

“Do you like eating rice, do you like spirit grass? “What would you do if I asked you to choose between the two?”

-Of course I have to eat! How can that be an option!

“See, they say it’s much better to eat rice. Anyway, all they do is eat and sleep. “It’s done voluntarily.”

The reason Damon sleeps is to absorb the power given to him by me.

It is essential to spend most of the day sleeping in order to recover your original strength.

So there was no reason to bring cumbersome items into the house that would take up recovery time.

“The conversation suddenly diverged because of her, but the next time Princess Haehwa comes, I will introduce you to her. Don’t you think you need to become close to the princess before you can officially go to the North?”

“I’m not as resourceful as you, but when I was on active duty, I wasn’t the type of person who would get away with making connections.”

So, as long as you introduce the princess, building a friendship seems like a piece of cake.

“Still, don’t let your guard down. “She’s a princess.”

I’ve heard that the princess doesn’t have much meaning in the North, but I think she wouldn’t have come to the empire as a representative if she really wasn’t that influential.

“Do you think you will fail after looking at this beauty?”

Erintina put her palm under her chin to emphasize her face.

“… Didn’t you say that you really hated making a living with your face? “For some reason, it seems to me that you are enjoying it more.”

“When I made a living with my face, the bugs that attracted me were annoying, not because I hated my face because it was pretty.”

Although women were upwardly standardized in this world, being pretty was common regardless of gender or age.

Princess Haehwa also likes pretty things, so it would be natural for her to feel attracted to Erintina.

The problem is turning that fondness into friendship… .

‘There’s no way he can’t do that.’

Erintina is the woman who, if you bring her to a party, will come back captivating all the people present.

When running a business, aren’t you freely using your personal connections for profit?

If someone other than her had been in charge of the top, it would have been difficult to proceed with transactions with the North and it would not have been possible to expand its influence so quickly.

‘I was just thinking about enlisting Erintina and having her fight again, but who would have thought that stopping the scenario from even starting would be a godsend?’

If it weren’t for Erintina’s scenario, I might still have tried to drive all the SSRs I summoned into the battlefield.

But after experiencing what Erintina did, I realized how narrow-minded that behavior was.

It would be a waste to simply use the various locations and environments of SSR characters for ‘battle’.

This is especially true for characters who are in a special position like Princess Mona and Princess Haehwa.

※ ※ ※

Erintina’s plan changed, and I, who was planning to return to the academy with the merchant, had to travel by myself in a carriage.

Since it is a world where you cannot travel by car, the time spent traveling back and forth was too long.

However, since the kids had also enlisted and there was no reason to stay at the academy every day anymore, I decided to take my time and enjoy the carriage trip.

‘Are the kids doing well?’

There has been no news from the enlisted children yet.

It will not be easy for you to contact me since you are still adjusting to the military.

‘Do you even think of me?’

Considering Thalia’s personality, she was not someone who would provide convenience to the members of her unit just because she had created a unit under her direct control.

‘If anything, it probably bothered me more than others.’

Could such bright children have adapted well to the military?

I couldn’t help but be worried because these children seemed so young and immature to me.

Since this has already come to an end, let’s ask Thalia how the kids are doing.

I took out some paper and a pen and wrote a letter.

And I broke up with Erintina in a very sad way and woke up Damon, who was suffering from the aftereffects of the breakup, by rubbing his stomach with my finger.

-Quack!

“Wake up.”

-What! It was the moment I signed a contract with Erintina!

“Did you even have a dream? “Your contractor is me, not Erintina.”

-Off!! I’ll sleep again!

Damon jumps and says that he woke up the moment he signed a contract with Erintina.

He said while frowning at the guy’s frantic flapping of wings.

“Hey, there’s no way around it. no. Go to Thalia. “I’ll give this to you and get a reply.”

Damon sighed at the letter I handed him.

-I am not a pigeon! You are the Great Spirit! You need to respect me!

“Yes, yes, I fully respect you. So, I’m using it to deliver letters.”

Even though I know what this guy will do, I don’t kill him and use him as an owl, so I don’t think it’s enough to bow down to him as a thank you.
