Chapter 302 – Black Flame Dragon’s Companion (4)

“Listen. The reason I’m putting you in a party is never because I believe you have a crush on me.”

“I really have a crush on you…”

“Stop! Let’s put that story aside for now.”

The blonde kept her mouth shut, but her face her was full of displeasure. Seeing that expression, I really want to hit one honey night. It was I who put a deaf person in front of me!

“What is that hand?”

“….Nothing. Rather, you said you could find the bad smelling ones, right? Is that still possible?”

The blonde took on a tinge of color at my question.

“Oh oh! Are you looking for those guys too! Great. It’s really good. It is truly a match made in heaven. I met my partner really well.”

“I am not your partner or anything!”

“Whoops. To be ashamed.”

“…”

Aaaaa!!!!!

I screamed inside.

I want to see the kids who listen to me intensely. Lenny, who is almost clinging to him, and Yuri, who is always tickling but gets weak as soon as he gets serious. It hasn’t even been a few hours since we fell, but I already want to go back.

I even want to see Rebecca. Because she doesn’t talk shit like this, even though the guy gives me credit!

I think I’m going to lose my mind. No, deep breath. You have to take a deep breath.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa…”

“Why? Do you have an arrhythmia?”

“…”

“Don’t frown like that. Wrinkled Wouldn’t it be a waste to have it at all smooth?”

As the blonde said that, he rubbed my forehead with his finger her.

Is this the timing? Is this the timing where I should get my heart pounding? In fact, my heart rate was getting higher and higher. Of course, it’s not because of love feelings, but because of a tantrum! I have a tantrum, my heart explodes, I feel like I’m going crazy!!!!

“Oh my goodness.”

When I turned to where the sound came from, Rize was smiling brightly.

“You’re already making progress in your relationship, you’re Eugene! They recognized me from the time I brought an all-female party!”

No… It’s not like that…

“Still, I ask you to refrain from actions that appeal to your friendliness like this in a place where there are many eyes to see, A-Il-nim?”

“Hmm. I see, I’m learning one thing today too.”

“You’re welcome. And Eugene?”

“…I’m listening.”

If you’re not going to enter the dungeon today, why don’t you go to the arena first? They asked me to trust that I really want to meet Yujin-nim!

“… I see.”

I stood up from my seat at Rize’s urging her. My head hurts so much…

“?!”

Rize crossed her arms almost as if she were going to hug me, and she whispered softly.

“Eugene-sama, as I’ve said before, if you are asked to sign a contract directly, refuse firmly! For requests that do not go through the guild, even if the request fee is taken away, how can we protect them!”

It’s really outrageous. This woman thinks she really misses her looks her. As long as she keeps her mouth shut, she is quite a beauty. She does, but does that apply to this blonde as well.

I tried to answer moderately while thinking such a stupid thought, but I kept my mouth shut. Rize, who had been smiling until just now, suddenly turned serious.

“And even if there is a status risk. Look out.”

“… I see.”

Rize’s face was quite meaningful. Her expression she seemed to warn of danger.

Or is this some kind of business skill? It’s dangerous if you don’t trade with us! But I won’t tell you specifically what the danger is! It may be a way to create anxiety in the way.

It’s high grade. This woman is very advanced.

“Thank you for your words. So, today is…”

“Yes! See you next time!”

I left the guild wiping the goose bumps from my forearm. Thanks to Rize, how many times did you get goosebumps today alone?

“Then, are we going to the arena from now on? I look forward to it.”

“Are you looking forward to it?”

“I heard that there are many things to see in the arena. Don’t you think it’s an appropriate place for a first date with your partner?”

“…”

Let’s be patient, let’s be patient, let’s be patient. Just check this guy’s abilities and kick him out right away. Have to be patient I can stand it!

“…No. Before going to the arena, I want to test your nose first. You said there were definitely stinky guys, right?”

The blonde nodded.

“Okay. Then try looking for it. Because I want to check.”

“Hmm. Then follow me.”

The blonde stood there, took one big breath, and then she began to stride.

…

“Found.”

The blonde flashed her eyes and led me down a dark back alley.

Indeed. I thought it was such a bright city, but there was such an embarrassing alley.

A wooden wall barely erected by weaving pieces of rotten boards together, and a gutter flowing beneath it. A rat with a messy fur sneaks up and runs away. Even in broad daylight, the streets are dark. If it’s our kids, it’s an atmosphere that makes them shudder just by entering.

“… Have you ever been to a place like this before?”

“Today is the first time.”

The blonde said so and he walked away without hesitation.

5 minutes, no, maybe 3 minutes. Dirty-looking men who flirt with the sparsely seen servants. In the meantime, where the guy pointed his hand his…

“Bar?”

“No. Next to it.”

Next to the entrance to the pub was a man who had collapsed in vomit.

“Hey, I can smell that guy.”

“… What smell?”

“The smell of vomit.”

The blonde opened her mouth very proudly. It looked like a demonic dog that ravaged a flower bed and ate all the flowers, including the roots, and then praised them for their ruined appearance.

No, be patient, my hand, even if I want to give this guy a night, I have to be patient, I have to be patient… Why do I have to be patient?

-Fuck!

“Keep!”

I couldn’t stand it any longer and threw honey chestnuts at the blonde. I want to go back. I miss my kids so much!

“Ha…”

Leni sighed as she slipped out of her mansion.

After running away for a while, thinking about it again, I realized that he could never steal the ring. It’s just that he was scared because he did something he wasn’t used to.

You push it He’s really out of place when he thinks about it. Can it really be like this? Does pushing it work?

What if it causes the opposite effect? If he’s taking Lenny’s words literally, and really skipping Lenny’s turn…

I didn’t know that. Because he almost did what Lennie told him to do when Leni was in a crowd. It was a fact that Lennie also knew implicitly.

Since he’s such a simple guy, this time he’ll understand right away and leave Lenny alone…

Who said it was simple compared to who else, if it was him or Yuri, he wouldn’t have been able to breathe because he was laughing.

Lenny kept looking back with a slightly depressed heart.

Even though he didn’t want to follow me out of shame, he also wanted me to follow him. Since he himself doesn’t know which one is the truth, it’s only natural that he gets confused.

“Priest, are you lost? If it’s okay, I can guide you…”

“Oh no! It’s okay, it’s okay!”

Lenny was started by the kindly approaching guard and quickened his steps.

Anyway, what to do is what to do. He couldn’t waste any more time on the road. If I’m late this time, I don’t know when my turn will come back.

If it was a church in a rural area, it wouldn’t have bothered much, but a church in a big city close to an administrative institution was like a knife when it comes to procedures. There are so many people that it is inevitable. Especially in cities with dungeons, priests were more like professionals than believers.

Well, that’s why the priests who walk around in lewd clothes like that are just going to be left alone.

Lenny stood in line at the priest-only reception counter, staring blankly at the person in front of him, then looking down at himself. A dark and tattered robe contrasted with the pure white clergyman’s uniform that was open all the way to the side.

Maybe that kind of look is normal here, and maybe I’m too far behind in fashion. So, should you change your fashion too?

“What are you here for?”

“Oh, hey, this…”

The priest at the window read the notice Leni held out.

“You applied for a promotion from the 8th to the 7th. The confirmation of the applicant is over… Then, would you please raise your hand here?”

The Reception Priest held out a device resembling a crystal ball to Lenny.

“What is this?”

“It is a tool to check the divine power. Depending on the applicant’s divine power level, the level of the test will also change. It will be over soon.”

Indeed. It is said that he does not make difficult requests even though his divine power his is low. Lenny raised his hand, thinking it was reasonable.

“Yes. Like. Inject divine power… Huh?”

The reception priest blinked.

“Wait… Is it broken? Would you like to try it again?”

“Ah yes…”

The receptionist gave a look of disbelief, then hardened her face.

“… Would you please wait here for a moment?”

“Yes Yes?”

The receptionist left Lenny alone, got up from her seat her, and went away.

Where are you going in such a hurry without a word? Did the tool break? Because of Lenny?

Lenny’s heart sank. It’s an expensive-looking tool, but what if I ask Lenny to ask? If the price is out of reach of Lenny’s wallet, what should I tell him… How can I ask for money while pushing him away? Isn’t this truly unscrupulous, no, what a cheating wife would do!

Unable to come up with an answer, Lenny covered his head. You don’t know what’s coming next.

“Priest Lenny Liberite?”

“Ah, yes, I am… ?”

“Can you follow me for a moment?”

Lenny shuddered at the sight of her high priests looking down at her.
