Chapter 49
49 . The past needs to be cleared up
‘The past needs to be cleared up,’ Graham said .
「That’s where your troubles will come from . It’s like a thorn in your side . Until you pull it out, you will never truly overcome the past . 」
「…… I wonder if that’s still true . 」
Belgriff closed his eyes as he sipped his apple wine . The hustle and bustle of the Autumn Festival was pleasant to his ears .
Indeed, from the time he had come to Tornella and started raising Angeline, he had thought he had parted with his past . In fact, up until the time I raised her, sent her away, and my first homecoming, all I could think about was Angeline .
But when I learned that Angeline had grown up so much during the last homecoming and the riot in Bordeaux, I looked at myself in wonder .
The past, which he thought he had conquered, was strangely recalled even now, and each time it seemed to make his chest tighten in a small way .
I didn’t get over it . He just didn’t see it .
Belgriff looked down .
「But hey, …… both Marie and Duncan will be out, and besides, if I’m going to be in …… 」
「…… Are you worried about Tornella? 」
「…… Yeah . 」
After all, I had been out in Bordeaux when Mito had caused a forest mutation .
It’s a good thing Duncan was there, but it would have been horrible if he hadn’t been there . Even though things like that don’t happen that often, there’s no chance of a demonic beast that would be difficult for the village’s youth to deal with alone .
Not to mention, if it goes out to Orphen at this time of year, it will be difficult to return until spring arrives . Thinking about that inevitably made my legs slow down .
Graham was silent for a while, but eventually he opened his mouth .
「It would be better if I stayed behind: …… 」
「…… What? 」
Belgriff looked up in surprise .
「You, Tornella?」
Indeed, if that’s the case, nothing could be safer than this . Even if a demon king or a dragon appeared, there shouldn’t be anything to fear . I feel safer than if I were to stay behind .
Graham is already accepted by the village . Because of his taciturnity, he is still awe-inspiring, but he has not been treated wickedly .
He leaves Graham in charge of his stay and heads for Orphen with Marguerite . We meet with Angeline and her friends and find our former companions to settle the past .
Belgriff was elated beyond his years at the thought of such a thing .
「But …… are you sure? I suppose you will continue your journey, too? 」
「…… I was originally after Marguerite . That was a close call . 」
Graham looked at the people dancing in front of him with a curiously distant look in his eyes . There was Marguerite, laughing and taunting the village youths who came wooing her .
「But …… through your experience here, that should be able to behave like a human being …… and should be fine without me following you . 」
「…… I see . Marie’s certainly grown up, too . 」
Graham looked straight at Belgriff, who huffed and smiled .
「I owe it to you, Bel . I’d like to repay that debt . 」
「…… Thanks, Graham . I appreciate it . 」
Belgriff lowered his eyes . His heart seemed to warm in his chest at the affectionate affection of his age-old friend to the best of his ability .
Mito, on Graham’s lap, looked up at Belgriff with a curious look on his face .
「Oto-san, outing ……?」
「Yeah, …… let’s go see your sister . 」
「Onesan: …… 」
Graham pouted as he kept Mito in his lap .
「…… I just need to ask one thing of you,」
「Hmm? 」
「Can I keep Mito with you while you’re traveling ……? 」
「…… Do you miss me? 」
circle (e . g . of friends)
「Bell! 」
Miriam came into the guild, and as soon as she spotted Belgriff, she came rushing in with a bodily force, and excitedly took Belgriff’s hand and buzzed around .
「Why why why why why! Wow, wow, that’s Mr . Bell! It’s the real Mr . Bell! 」
「Come on, Milly……, it hurts if you swing it around so much . 」
Belgriff chuckled . Miriam let go of his hand, but stomped her foot excitedly . Anessa dropped her sword lightly on his head, as if she was dumbfounded .
「What are you doing, you …… 」
「Because it’s Mr . Bell! Even Arne is happy with his habit! 」
「U…… 」
Anessa looked at Belgriff with a light tint to her cheeks . She bowed her head in embarrassment .
「Oh, it’s been a while, Bel . 」
Belgriff chuckled .
「Ah, long time no see, Arne . You both look good . 」
「Yes . Um, did you get that …… letter? 」
Anessa squirmed her mouth as if she was having trouble saying it . Belgriff nodded his head .
「A letter? No . …… 」
「I’ve misplaced: …… 」
「Oh, it’s a decoration, isn’t it? Lord Lionel told me about it . Well, I’m glad it’s Estgar . I was wondering what I would have done if I had left for Tornella: …… 」
Lionel got into a kneeling position in front of Belgriff, who was about to say, “I’m sorry,” and with a flowing motion, Lionel got into a kneeling position in front of Belgriff .
「I’m really sorry, Mr . Belgriff, …… I know you’re angry, but I’d be happy to give you any amount of …… my head . 」
「No, no, no, look up, Lord Lionel . You will be honored to receive a medal from the Grand Duke . As a father, I’m delighted, but what reason do I have to be angry? 」
「But your daughter has been really …… really good to you, and instead of returning the favor, she just keeps interfering with your homecoming …… . 」
Belgriff laughed in annoyance . He crouched down and placed a hand on Lionel’s shoulder .
「It can’t be helped . A person with power and a high position is more likely to have a certain amount of responsibility . Otherwise, the value of the position itself would be lost, and the dignity of the adventurers themselves would be further diminished if they did whatever they wanted just because they were S-ranked . I’m glad that she didn’t neglect the award because of her father’s association . Thank you, Lord Lionel, for properly informing that child . 」
「Bae, Mr . Belgriff, …… there’s nothing to thank you for that …… . 」
The tears were shed by Lionel .
Of course, there are those who do whatever they want, even if they have high positions . It is not only adventurers, but many noblemen as well . It’s not just the adventurers, but many other noblemen as well .
But even so, there is a status . Even if you don’t like it, it’s not something you can easily ignore . It’s a good thing that Angeline is well aware of that area, and Belgriff liked her . And as a parent, I’m honestly happy that my daughter was appreciated enough to receive a medal .
Even if the guild was defending Angeline and letting her go to Tornella, there would definitely be problems later on .
The Adventurer’s Guild is a source of livelihood for many adventurers and an organization that takes care of the troubles of the people of the capital . If the guild’s operations were to be hindered by the Grand Duke’s disapproval, many people would be in trouble . If that happened, even if it was the result of the guild’s goodwill, Belgriff must not have felt very good about it .
Looking at Lionel, who was crying in admiration, Marguerite gave him an amused look .
「What the hell, I thought he was a great guy because he’s called a guild master, but he’s not good at all . 」
「Uggh …… Hi, I won’t deny it . …… 」
Belgriff frowned .
「Come on, Marie . You shouldn’t say things like that . 」
「U…… sorry …… 」
「No, it’s okay, Mr . Belgriff, it’s …… a fact, and it’s …… . 」
Yuri chuckles .
「The value of the position itself, you know . ‘It hurts my ears, doesn’t it, Lio?」
「…… Yes, I will try . 」
Lionel turned over . Miriam glanced at Marguerite .
「So, um, I’d like you to introduce me to that elf over there…」
「Oh, yes, that’s right . Her name is Marguerite . She’s been staying at our house for a while, by a bit of luck . 」
「Huh, I’m related to an elf: …… 」
「Well, sort of, you know . You said you wanted to be an adventurer, so I’m here to help you out . Marie, this is my daughter’s party member . She’s a high-ranking adventurer, so she’ll be your senior . 」
Marguerite puffed her chest out .
「It’s Marguerite! Nice to meet you! You can call me Marie, man! 」
「I’m Miriam! You can call me Millie . 」
「It’s Anessa . They call me Arne, but …… well, call me whatever you want . 」
「Oh! You two are adventurers, aren’t you? Are you strong? 」
「Hmmm, so-so? Me and Arne are both AArated, for one thing . 」
「Heh! That’s awesome! But I’ll be catching up with you soon enough! 」
「Hmm …… is Marie that strong?」
「Ahem . Strong, huh? 」
With his daughters fussing beside him, Belgriff looked at Lionel and said .
「That’s why I’d like to ask you to register this girl as an adventurer . I know you’re busy,」
「No, no, no, no, no, no, of course we’ll make it our top priority! 」
「That’s all right . I’m in no hurry . 」
Belgriff chuckled . Yuri chuckled and called Marguerite over .
「Well then, Marie . Let’s get the registration done over here . 」
「Oh! Yes! Bye, Bel! I’ll be off in a minute! 」
「Yeah . 」
Yuri was about to turn on his heel with Marguerite, but then he suddenly remembered and turned around .
「Oh, um, Mr . Belgriff?」
「Ha . 」
Yuri’s cheeks squirmed as he squirmed .
「I hear you’re single, but I’m wondering what it would be like to leave the …… search for that …… bride to your daughter . 」
「…… What? 」
「I’m sorry, I know it’s none of my business! Wow, forget it: …… 」
Then he ran off with his hands clasped to his cheeks in embarrassment . Marguerite hurried after him .
Belgriff furrowed his brow in confusion and looked at Anessa .
「Looking for a wife is ……」
「No, um, Angie is at …… 」
「…… Angier? 」
Anessa raised her voice as if in a panic .
「Um, Miss Bell! As a matter of fact, I’d like to introduce you to some of the girls over here! 」
「Hmm? No, that wife-seeking thing: …… 」
「Hey, Millie . 」
「Yeah, yeah! 」
Miriam pulled Charlotte and Byaku from the back of the room .
When Belgriff turned his gaze to look at them, Charlotte shyly hid herself behind Byaku, only showing half her face to see what was going on . Byaku looked alarmed for some reason .
Belgriff narrowed his eyes .
「You guys are …… in Bordeaux, I believe? 」
Charlotte’s mouth fluttered and her cheeks dyed .
「I’m that …… that …… Charlotte! Oh, thank you for helping me out that time! 」

「Hmm? Oh …… I see . Glad you’re okay . You’re looking good, aren’t you? 」
Charlotte’s cheeks shot upward as if her chest was full, and she ran out with a flutter and jumped into Belgriff’s chest . Belgriff was surprised, but held on to her .
「What’s the matter with you?」
Charlotte didn’t say anything, she just groped and pressed her face against Belgriff’s chest .
Belgriff laughed and patted its head . Then he looked at Anessa and Miriam .
「Erm, ……?」
「Ha ha …… Well, that’s a lot of stuff . …… 」
「Yes, Bel, that’s right . I have so much to tell you! Oh, but if I told you, would Angie be mad at me? 」
「No, I don’t mind . I’m sure Angie has a lot to talk about in Angie . More importantly, looking for a wife is a good idea: …… 」
「Um . 」
Lionel said refrainedly .
「That …… is fine if you don’t mind, but if you want to talk about it, you might want to change places …… . 」
「Yeah . 」
Belgriff looked around . This is the guild’s lobby . A large number of people were coming and going . These people saw Belgriff and his group and were discussing in secret .
「Red hair and …… prosthetic legs …… 」
「Is that the Red Ogre? ”He’s the father and mentor of the “black-haired warrior maiden”: …… 」
「Yeah, I’m pretty sure he’s more powerful than the “dark-haired warrior maiden”: …… 」
「I’ve got an elf with me: …… Who are you? 」
「Look at that aura: “There’s a lot of people with that …… 」
「The Guildmaster was on his knees . …… 」
「…… Why are you holding a little girl? 」
It attracted odd attention .
Belgriff immediately felt uncomfortable . It reminded me that the name “Red Ogre” has become famous in the Orphen guild .
「Thank you, Lionel, for the advice …… guys . When Marie comes back, let’s switch places . 」
Belgriff chuckled at that .
I can’t help but wonder what he means by “finding a wife” .
It smells sweet and good . There are a lot of medicinal plants, herbs and dried flowers in the water, and the water is light green in color .
I have never seen a bath like this before .
It is a private bath with a room for guests, and the bathtub is only big enough to hold two people at most, but the bathroom is spacious . The bathroom is large enough that you can not only wash yourself, but also put on and take off your clothes in the same room . Angeline found it funny that even though it was a bathroom, there were pots and paintings on display .
Angeline was in a daze as she soaked in the hot water . She almost forgot what she was doing here .
The temperature was just right, it smelled good, and she was going to fall asleep in it .
I took my hands out of the hot water and stared at them . The skin was clumpy and thick due to his continued grip on the sword . It had blistered in the hot water and turned white in places .
I wonder if I was getting close to a hand like my father’s .
With that thought in mind, Angeline dipped her mouth into the hot water and blew bubbles . Her long, unbound hair drifted into the hot water, wobbling like seaweed .
It took three maids to wash me thoroughly, so I felt more refreshed than I’d ever felt before . I don’t think I’ve ever been covered in so much foam before . Even though it was through the cloth, they mercilessly touched me here and there, so I feel like I somehow lost my dignity as a maiden, but it’s not bad .
The maids are asked to leave until they have finished washing and warming themselves up . It’s uncomfortable to be seen by someone who is wearing clothes, if it’s someone who is soaking in the bath as well .
Through the hot water, I could see her less than ample breasts and hips .
Slender and toned, it might sound better if I said it was slender and toned . Even for sword wielding and fighting, too much swaying chest smells like a hindrance . Still, even Angeline is a girl her age . It’s also possible to yearn for a more feminine fullness .
Running her hands over her hips and breasts, Angeline’s brow furrowed as she thought of Miriam and Helvetica .
「It never puffs up …… why?」
But there was no point in asking for something that wasn’t there . Angeline gave up and stood up . Her hair, which had been drifting in a wobbly fashion, stuck to her body with a weight all at once .
She wiped her body with a fluffy towel .
It was different from the flimsy, used ones you’d normally use in a bathhouse . It looked comfortable even if I just wrapped it around my body like this .
I’m not sure if she heard the sound of water inside, but a maid called out to her from the other side of the door .
「Are you done? 」
「Yes . 」
As soon as I said it, the door opened and the maids came in . They had underwear and dresses in their hands and looked like they were having some fun .
「Please take these underwear! 」
「Oh …… slender and lovely …… this is a gem . 」
「Your hair is beautiful . What kind of hair do you think looks good on you? And the hairpiece: …… 」
「I’m also worried about the colour of my dress . Do I go cold and chic, or do I go warm …… . 」
「You mustn’t wear loose clothing if you’re slender and tight . 」
「It’s more appealing when it’s moderately revealing, but even if it’s too blatantly …… it’s still very vulgar . 」
「There’s still plenty of time . Come on, Miss Angeline, we’ll start here: …… 」
Angeline was overwhelmed by the momentum of the maids .
「…… Byakkun, I think I know a little bit about how you feel . 」
Angeline muttered .
Angeline was mortified at first, but it was getting fun as she stood and sat down in front of the big viewing window, and the sun was setting .
But even though it’s starting to be fun, it’s after a trip, it’s still exhausting . Angeline breathed heavily .
「…… Hey, I’m tired today . Can we continue tomorrow? 」
「Oh, I just got on board and I can’t help but notice that you have to go to …… 」
「But we’ve found a direction . I’m looking forward to tomorrow . 」

「I’ll bring supper to you . Please make yourself at home, Lady Angeline . 」
The maids squealed and spluttered, but still quickly put their dresses away and left the room .
Wearing a simple room dress, Angeline sat down on the soft sofa . As she sat down, she realized that she was somewhat more tired than she thought .
「…… Fearful Aristocrat,」
I muttered again . There’s still a world I don’t know about, I thought .
But I’m not averse to dressing up in a beautiful dress, as long as I can get over my embarrassment . Even Angeline is a girl of her age .
Besides, if you’re immersed in something, you’ll drown your sorrows that your homecoming has been wiped out . In fact, the tension and irritation of my arrival at home has subsided considerably .
Even the Medal of Honor might be something Belgriff would be happy to praise if I brought it home and showed it to him . The timing is too bad, and although I am not interested in medals and honors, they are not inherently bad to receive . How I feel about it is another story, but we all consider it an honor because it has value .
I was sitting on the sofa in a daze when there was a knock at the door .
「Here’s your supper, sir . 」
「Come in . 」
The door opens and the maids come in with a tray of food on top . There are four of them, one more than when they were dressed . The maids arrange the plates on the table with a practiced hand . It’s quite a lot of food, just as Villar ordered .
Angeline, who moved from the couch to the dining room table, watched in a daze, but her eyes widened when she saw the faces of the newly added maids .
The maids finished laying out the food and lined up beside the table .
「We will serve you, sir . 」
「No, I don’t feel comfortable with you watching me …… so I’m fine with having you go to another job, sir, …… if you just serve the person on the far right of that …… . 」
The maids looked at each other, but nodded in agreement, perhaps remembering that Angeline was not a nobleman, and left the room, leaving one of the appointed ones behind .
After the three of them left, the lone remaining maid quickly locked the door and smiled .
「Looks like a delicious dinner, doesn’t it? ‘Hmmm . 」
「…… What are you doing, Mr . Gil? 」
Dressed in her maid’s uniform, Guilmeña chuckled .
「Work, work . Does it suit you?」
Guilmeña curtsied coyly with the hem of her skirt .
Angeline felt dumbfounded and relieved, but she was deflated anyway .
「How did you get in: …… 」
「There’s a flurry of people around at times like this . And I was a member of a local theater company before I became an adventurer, so I’m very good at this . 」
「Heh, …… it was,」
「No, you’re lying . Here you go, while it’s still cold . Mmm-hmm . 」
Guilmeña uncorked the wine and poured it into a glass .
Angeline gave up and picked up her fork . I don’t know any table manners, so I chewed and chewed appropriately and drank the wine .
This is indeed a grand duke’s meal . All are good . There should be quite a lot of food, but I can’t stop reaching for it one after another . It’s a good thing that you’re able to have a lot of fun with it .
「It’s a good thing that you’re not going to be able to have a lot of money to spend on your own . 」
「Yeah . What do you think? I think the menu is a little different from Orphen’s . 」
「Yeah, but it’s good . But it’s good . 」
He ate the boiled vegetables with melted cheese, then wiped the flat plate of sauce on the grilled meat with a piece of bread and brought it to his mouth .
I didn’t dislike the smoked river fish, which was apparently cooked, though it had a distinct aroma .
There was also a pesto of liver and large bivalves roasted in their shells and topped with chopped herbs, both of which are not familiar to me in Orphen, but are quite good .
We ate it right away, and our stomachs were full .
It was a happy feeling . Things that may make you angry when you’re hungry are not so bad when you’re full . I felt drowsy, and my eyelids suddenly became heavy .
With a practiced hand, Guilmeña gathered up the empty dishes, stacked them, brewed a cup of tea, and placed it in front of Angeline .
「Is it to your liking, my lady?」
Angeline chuckled at the mocking tone .
「Yeah …… do nobles eat this stuff every day?」
「If you’re a poor aristocrat, you’re still a grand duke . You must be eating better than what Angie just ate . 」
It’s a good thing that the Grand Duke is amazing, Angeline thought as she sipped her tea . The food served at the Bordeaux house was good, but compared to this place, the arrangement and the variety of food was not as good as it could be .
Guilmeña sat down across from Angeline .
「So, how do you like it? Do you know a little about how to play the nobles? 」
「I found out they’re human too …… but they live in a world so different . I can’t get used to it . It’s impossible . 」
「It’s the only way to go . But once you’ve been there, you’ll be more prepared for it . 」
「Yes, …… it would have been easier if Gil had answered the door with me, but I wouldn’t have learned much either . …… 」
Maybe, behind Guilmeña’s aloof response, I feel like the nobleman was just a mouthful of unpleasantness, after all . Even if it was just to get by, it wouldn’t be any experience .
Guilmeña loosened the corners of her mouth a little happily .
「That’s auspicious . Good boy . I was watching through the keyhole, and it’s a passable grade . If it didn’t work, I was going to pretend there was trouble and jump into the room . 」
Angeline was hollowed out .
「You’ve been watching …… actually the whole time?」
「I don’t know . 」
Guilmeña chuckled and poked her hand on the table .
「So, you see, I’ve been gathering a bit of information, and it seems a bit kinaesthetic . 」
「…… Yeah . 」
It was somewhat predictable . It would be nice if it had only ended with Villar’s ridiculous appearance, but apparently there are people who are planning something to take advantage of it .
You will be able to get a good idea of what you’re looking for .
「Do you know what kind of people they are?」
「I don’t know for now . After all, if we were to suspect them, they would all be suspicious . The brothers of the Grand Duke, the most powerful noblemen, their relatives, and even His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince are invited to this ball . 」
「The Crown Prince? 」

「You’re the emperor’s son . If all goes well, he’ll be the next emperor . 」
「…… What’s so special about this one? 」
「Yeah . 」
The Rhodesia Empire, including Estgar, is a major empire in the northwest of the continent . Although Estgar has been granted autonomy as a duchy, it is only treated as having received the Grand Duke’s throne from the Emperor . Even though he is the king in the duchy, he is a vassal in the empire .
Even the duchy of Estgar is a big deal, even for the majesty of this mansion, but the Rhodesian Empire, which has it as a vassal, is quite large . When even the next emperor of such an empire is invited, you can’t help but smell a conspiracy, this time the ball is suspicious to the extent that you can’t help but think that it’s suspicious .
Not long ago Angeline would have thought nothing of it, but since she was so tired of being in the Villar, it must be even more exhausting to talk to more amazing people . Angeline shuddered .
「At ……, is my ordination the highlight of the ball?」
「So it seems . Well, Angie should just stand there and bow at the award ceremony . After that, the noblemen can say whatever they want . 」
「I can’t even imagine what it’s like: …… 」
「Yeah . Be careful . One tilt of your bow and the tomatoes will fly out of the audience . 」
「Yeah . 」
「Lies . But you should at least learn how to bow . 」
「…… cumbersome . 」
「Well, no . 」
「…… Not so fast, is it? 」
Angeline stood up with a mushy mouth and laid down on the couch and looked at the ceiling . Guilmeña chuckled .
「Do you want to do it now?」
「Oh no . I’m tired today and I’m going to get serious tomorrow: …… 」
「Well, that’s possible . Well, I’ll support you on the day of the ball, too . 」
As soon as he said that, Guilmeña stood up and instantly disappeared into the darkness of the room .
The doorknob made a chattering noise . But it was locked, so it wouldn’t open . There is a knock on the door .
Angeline raised her upper body in a cumbersome manner .
「…… who are you?」
「It’s me, it’s me! 」
It’s a girl’s voice . But I don’t know who it is . Angeline got up and went to the door .
「I don’t know who it is, ……? 」
「What, you don’t get it? I’m Lieselotte! Open the door! 」
Who .
Angeline looked sideways at Guilmeña . Guilmeña, who had come out of the darkness, smiled and nodded at her . He wasn’t a bad person, apparently .
Angeline unlocked the door for him . Then a girl, about twelve years old, popped into the room .
Her dark brown hair was tied up and she was dressed in an elegant dress .
Her face was cute with a juvenile look on it, and she was friendly, but also mischievous .
The girl puffed out her cheeks and looked up at Angeline .
「Already! I don’t like it if you don’t open it right away! 」
「Haha . …… 」
From behind Angeline, who swept her gaze in annoyance, Guilmeña bowed in a reverent manner .
「Lieselotte-sama, you are in a good mood . 」
「Hm! Hey you, make me a cup of tea, please! 」
「Yes, I’m back . 」
Guilmeña, with an amused look on her face, began to gingerly prepare the tea .
The girl, called Lieselotte, took her place at the table of the dining room table as selfishly as she could . Then she smiled at Angeline and urged her to sit across from her .
「You’re an adventurer, aren’t you! Your brother Villar called you, didn’t he? 」
「Yeah, well, …… 」
Angeline sat down in her chair as she was prompted, puzzled . Guilmeña smirked and put her cup of tea in front of her . In a tone that sounded theatrical to Angeline, who knew who she was, she said .
「This is the Grand Duke’s daughter, Lieselotte Estgar, my dear Angeline . 」
「Ah, the Grand Duke’s daughter: …… 」
Angeline said, and Lieselotte giggled .
「Yes! Hey, “The Dark-haired Maiden of War”? It’s me! I love hearing stories about adventurers! That’s why I came to visit, right? Tell me a story, please! 」
「N…… 」
I wondered what I should do .
I’m tired and I’m in the mood to just go back to sleep .
But this girl in front of me is looking straight at Angeline with sparkling, innocent eyes . It seems to remind me of myself when I begged Belgriff to talk to me a long time ago, and I can’t help but refuse .
Angeline sighed as if she had given up and gave a small smile .
「All right, …… what kind of story would you like to hear? Is it? 」
「You’re the Demon King Killer, aren’t you? What kind of demonic beast was the Demon King? Was it strong? 」
「It’s the demon king …… yes, he’s strong . It’s kind of a wiggly, shadowy figure …… that’s about the same size as you, I guess . 」
「Yes! It’s that small! 」
「Yes, it’s ……, so I’m afraid I’d be caught off guard . 」
「Awesome …… hey, the Demon King has fangs! I’ve fought dragons before! I wonder who’s stronger! 」
「Hmm …… dragons breathe fire, but the Demon King doesn’t . But the Demon King moves faster . 」
Despite being a public woman, Lieselotte comes exuding a genuine curiosity that is not at all great . Perhaps that’s why Angeline also unknowingly had a shattered tone .
Lieselotte’s eyes sparkled and she reacted with every single exaggeration, and Angeline enjoyed her reaction, and the conversation was all the more exciting . She didn’t even notice that it was starting to get dark outside because the yellow glowstone for lighting illuminated the room .
Guilmeña chuckled and poured another cup of tea from the pot .
「By being on good terms ……」
