chapter 265
265.Half Elf and Half Hero (3)
“Hmm…”
[Contractor, isn’t that so ugly?]
“Design is not that important.”
The most important thing is performance.
I picked up a few prototypes of things I’ve been developing recently and stuffed them in my bag. If it works as I thought, it will be of some help in the fight against foreign media.
I hope it works properly.
It took a month to make this.
There was something like that because it was developed in parallel… But it would have been worth watching if that side had been completed first. Thinking about something useless, I checked the contents of my bag one last time. A change of clothes, various tools, and a sufficient amount of gold coins.
“…If you need something, it would be better to live in the middle…”
It looks like it will be quite a long expedition, but it is difficult to pack everything and go. Anyway, the empire’s currency was the currency used in common across the entire continent, so you could buy small things like food or clothes along the way.
“John! A breeze has arrived!”
“I’ll be out soon!”
After answering Sif’s voice from behind me, I stand up. If you think about it, how many months has it been since you went out like this? The last time I went on a trip, I completely robbed the dungeon.
In general, it felt like there was more loss than gain. Although it’s a bit big that I was able to safely obtain the fog gem. I looked at the new work displayed on one side of the studio for a moment and then turned around.
It must be completed before the second semester.
With that in mind, I opened the door to my studio and a familiar silhouette caught my eye. A cat beast girl with black hair neatly tied into ponytails. Sif spoke as if she was used to it, carrying a bag the size of her body.
“I said I was waiting at the door, so let’s go quickly!”
“Okay.”
We walked straight toward the main gate of Yeomyeonggwan.
“Let’s say you go to the local area and take care of your food… Did you pack your clothes well?”
“I got it without a problem. How about worrying about you rather than me? “I am confident that I will survive even if I fall in the desert wearing only my underwear.”
“What’s the metaphor… Don’t worry about me. This hasn’t happened once or twice… “
“Did you say goodbye to your younger siblings?”
“Good job. The kids kept holding me back, telling me not to go, but… “
Sif scratched her cheek and looked at the Dawn Hall, probably the room where Lulu and Terry were sleeping. I guess you two are worried.
Sif cared so much about them that he initially planned to share the same room, but after their insistence on her, he ended up agreeing to share a room next to them.
In that way, Sif’s room was sandwiched between the two rooms. Sif was really sorry that she had to take up three rooms. Karina said that her empty room was full and overflowing, so she did not really care, but the owners of these mansions are different even if the distribution is different.
“Milia will take good care of you, so don’t worry.”
“I’m worried that I might get into an accident.”
“What kind of accident could happen in a mansion like this? “After what happened last time, I probably realized the dangers of going out carelessly, so I won’t go out carelessly.”
I went out without any intention and got kidnapped, so I guess I’ll just hang out inside Yeomyeonggwan. If you want to go out, someone will accompany you, be it Milia or Viola.
…They’re a little anxious, too, but… I’m sure no one will touch them.
The moment you touch it, I will kindly let you see its internal organs.
With that in mind, we arrived at the front gate, and a breeze wearing relatively active clothing was standing in front of the door waiting for us.
“Wherever Lord Quartz goes, there are women around.”
“Unfortunately, almost everyone around me is female.”
“Is that so?”
The breeze looked at me with a slightly reluctant face and turned around. A backpack the size of her body her sways according to the law of inertia and follows her her body her precariously.
Upon closer inspection, I saw that it was a worn-out backpack, as if it had been used for quite some time. It looks like it would tear if it gets caught on a tree branch or something. I felt like I needed to buy a sturdy backpack on the way.
“Then let’s leave.” “I will take the portal to the eastern end.”
“Portal… Isn’t it expensive?”
“I have my own portal.”
“Dedicated portal…”
The breeze looked at me with wonder on her face. Well, it was only a very small number of chosen humans, the so-called royal family, who had personal portals.
Well, in fact, since it was built for public use, anyone can use it as long as they get permission, but there were no more than 10 people, including Principal Merlin and myself, who knew about the existence of the portal.
In times like this, you should use it. We have already received permission from Principal Merlin to use it, so all we have to do is ride it. I led the two of us to the entrance to the underground passageway built near Yeomyeonggwan.
———————-
“Ugh…I still can’t get used to the portal.”
Sif touched her forehead as if she felt dizzy. I was afraid she might fall, so I carefully grabbed her shoulders and held her body in place.
“There is no need for this.”
“…If you don’t like it.”
“No, it’s not that I don’t like it…” ” “
Am I corrupt? Why is it fun to tease you like this? I looked at Sif for a moment, who was blushing and scratching her cheek, and then I made eye contact with the breeze, which was staring intently into my face her.
“…You’re a lecher.”
My eyes sting. I guess it’s a bit wrong to show such a dirty scene to an innocent girl. I took Sif’s hand off her shoulder and stepped to her feet.
“For now, I will spend one night in this city.”
“Please reserve a separate room.”
“Of course.”
Did I look like a guy who attacked women no matter what I did? It was unfair, but considering the situation when we first met, it was something that could not be helped.
To put it bluntly, who would think that a man messing around in the garden with three women is a virgin?
Even if I were in the breeze, people would mistake me for a man who ‘touches all women.’
“Greece. Have you ever passed through this city?”
“…Yes.”
“You know a good inn, right?”
“…Well, because I didn’t have enough money, I ended up sleeping in the woods outside the city…”
It would take two days to go from this city to another village. Could it be that he was homeless? Considering he was a half-elf, he wouldn’t have been attacked by an animal… But he seemed to have arrived at the academy quite wildly.
“I get it. “I’ll just ask someone in the guild for a good inn and then we’ll go.”
“I will rent my room.”
“No. I will pay.”
“That’s…”
“Don’t mind. “John has so much money that he doesn’t care about a few gold coins.”
“…It’s amazing.”
As Sif fired back, the breeze looked at me with strange eyes. This salty half-elf seemed reluctant to owe me anything, perhaps because he was alive because he rarely lived there.
“Don’t worry too much.”
I looked back at the two following me and moved to the wizard guild counter. I don’t know if it was exam season, but I could see quite a few people lining up in front of the staff. If that’s the case, it’s a bit awkward to ask the staff.
After thinking for a moment, I approached a middle-aged man who looked quite cute. He was leafing through a book in a corner of the wizard’s guild.
I spoke to the man who did not react even though I was standing in front of him so that he would notice me.
“Hey.”
“…”
“I have something to ask you for a moment.”
“…”
I’m completely in love with the book. Should I ask someone else? After thinking for a moment, I launched a fireball the size of a ping-pong ball on my finger.
As my fireball radiated heat, the man turned his head, ignoring what he had been ignoring up to now, and looked at me and asked.
“How did you do it?!”
“It’s magic.”
“What kind of magic in the world could have this kind of energy?!”
[Contractor, I think I was caught by a troublesome person?]
“You can do this if you receive the power of the Phoenix.”
“Phoenix… Could it be you?”
He opened his eyes wide. Then he looked at me with an emotional face and shouted.
“Are you Lord Quartz, the raven hunter, hero of the Western Front?!”
Don’t shout. Everyone else is staring. I raised my finger at the fussing middle-aged man, signaling him to be quiet, and then told him my business.
“Do you know of any good inn around here?”
“You mean an inn!”
Even if I tell you to be quiet.
“When it comes to inns, Golden Sun, located a little west of the city center, is famous for its excellent facilities!”
“Right. Thank you.”
“Hey, could you please sign my autograph before I go?”
The man took out a notebook from somewhere, tore up the paper, and handed it to me along with a fountain pen.
When I have time, I’ll try to make a nicer sign. I wrote my name on a piece of paper in the language of this world and handed it over.
“Thank you! “I guess I have the honor to see my son!”
“…I hope you like it. “Then I’ll go and take care of my business.”
“I hope you enjoy the view of our city!”
Leaving the man’s words behind, we walked towards the inn he had mentioned.
And, it was only when I noticed that rumors of my appearance had spread throughout the city that I realized too late that I would be asked to shake countless hands.
