Chapter 120: 120
Lunch Meeting
And so I explained everything from the beginning .
“I went out on a walk with Nia, Lord Gerberga and Grulf…”
Kathe’s bothersome roar, searching the ruins, killing the vampires . I explained it all . Serulis asked with a serious expression,
“So, the vampires are after these ancient ruins . ”
“Yes . Kathe thinks that the concealment magic has weakened due to time…”
“And now the vampires have been going around and exposing them . ”
“That’s very likely . ”
Caves that didn’t contain the machines were left alone .
Like the cave that we first met Kathe in . There were only goblins there .
“Well, it sure looks like Kathe’s obsession with protecting cultural property helped you . ”
“Yes, I guess you could say that . ”
While the start of it was annoying, we wouldn’t have known about those vampires without Kathe’s help .
That would have resulted in more Fool’s Stones being created .
“Ah, right . I brought something other than snacks back with me as well . ”
So saying, I took out the sword I got from the Vampire Lord, and put it on the table .
“This sword was used by a Vampire Lord . It’s not cursed, so I will give it to whoever wants to use it . ”
“Can I see it?”
“Go ahead . ”
Serulis picked it up . Then she unsheathed it and swung it lightly .
“Yes . I think it is a good sword . ”
“It didn’t break against the Devil King Sword, and it cut through the floor of the dragon ruins very easily . ”
“That’s amazing . Shia, Nia . Will one of you use it?”
“I already received a sword from Mister Locke . So I’m fine . ”
“My sword is very special . You should take it, Sister Serulis . ”
“Nia, your sword is special?”
I asked and Nia nodded .
“Yes . I am still young, so it is a special training sword . ”
“It looks like an ordinary sword to me . ”
Shia patted Nia on the head and said,
“The sword itself is normal, but it is made to match her height and build . ”
“So it’s short and light in weight for children?”
“No, quite the opposite . We beastkin train with heavy, longer swords . ”
“I see . You have some funny customs . ”
“It is so she can put on some muscle . ”
“Huh . ”
“That being said, having it too long or heavy will mess up your sense of balance . And so it is very meticulously designed . ”
“I see . Sounds like a lot of work . ”
I wondered how effective this method was .

But then again, here was Shia . Fifteen and already a B-rank Adventurer .
At the very least, it seemed to agree with beastkin wolves .
“So Shia and Nia don’t need it . What about you, Serulis? Or is your sword also special?”
“No, it’s a normal sword . ”
“Serulis, can I look at your sword?”
“Of course . ”
So saying, she handed me her sword .
Yes, it was definitely nothing special . However, it was store bought and expensive .
Perhaps about three million rucks .
But the sword I just acquired was still better .
“Serulis, unless you are very picky, you should use this sword . ”
“…Thank you . I’ll take good care of it . ”
She said happily . I was glad that she liked it .
And then we finished eating lunch .
The dishes were washed and we returned to the dining room .
“Mister Locke bought us some snacks! And I put on some tea!”
Milka said as she brought the snacks and tea into the room .
“Thank you, Milka . ”
“Don’t mention it!”

Milka looked a little bashful as she petted Grulf .
I decided that I would tell Milk about my identity .
“You’re quite smart, Milka . So you might have guessed this already…”
“What do you mean?”
Milka pretended like she didn’t know . But her hand seemed to quicken as she scratched Grulf’s fur .
Perhaps she didn’t want to pry .
Grulf wagged his tail and breathed loudly .
Milka and Grulf seemed to have become a lot closer .
“If you really don’t want to hear it…that is fine as well…”
“No, I will listen if you will trust me . It would be very flattering!”
“I see . ”
And so I explained it to her .
But Milka hadn’t even known about Eric, the Hero King .
She probably would not find the truth so surprising .
“Are you serious! You are that famous Ruck! Wow!”
Milka was surprisingly surprised .
She got up loudly from her chair and leaned forward with both hands slammed down on the table .
“And the king you met recently is the Hero Eric . ”
“Huh? Who?”

“And Goran is THE Goran . ”
“Sister Serulis’s father is famous?”
Apparently, she knew nothing about them .
I hoped that Serulis wouldn’t be insulted by this discovery .
I quietly glanced towards her .
She just nodded .
“King Eric aside, daddy isn’t as famous as Mister Locke . So I can understand . ”
She seemed like she didn’t mind .
“But Eric and Goran are amazing too . ”
And so I told Milka about Eric and Goran’s exploits .
And since it was a good opportunity, I exaggerated as much as I could without lying .
It was a bit of revenge for what they had spread about me and my own exploits .
When my passionate speech came to a close, Milka looked at the door .
And her face turned to one of shock .
“Oh, it’s the Hero King . ”
I turned around to see Eric . Eric was good at erasing his presence, which was very annoying .
“Locke . You better stop right there . It’s getting a little embarrassing…”
The Hero said as he entered the room, his face bright red .
