Chapter 449 – Chapter 449-Gale and Blast

“Ohhh… Dungeon Crasher… Hey!”

Raifa approached the male adventurers who were whispering and put their arms around their shoulders and asked with a cheerful smile as usual.

“Didn’t you say that a Dungeon Crasher could subdue me?”

“Ah, that, that’s…”

“Tell me honestly.”

“Yes! Wouldn’t it be possible with Dungeon Crasher! No matter what anyone says, he is the hero of Fledan and the one who prevented the disaster!”

“And you know what happened in Kanol, right? The case that the Ogre King was found.”

“Canol? Ah, there was. I heard that it was a mass outbreak of ogres, so I prepared it because I wanted to feel proud of myself, so the next day… The request was completely gone.”

“It is rumored that Dungeon Crasher arrived and solved that incident in one day! Kill the Ogre King at once!”

“What? Then you’re saying that it was the Dungeon Crasher that disappointed my heart that I had prepared for a long time with a smile?”

“Yes Yes!”

“Hmm… That’s right…”

Raifa untied her hands from the male adventurers and walked towards me… He smiled as if something very annoying would happen to me.

“Hey, Gracia.”

“What is it, Raifa?”

“I’m bored, let’s go to Fuldan to watch Dungeon Crasher!”

“… Haa, as expected, that’s what you say. I’m fine.

“Hey hey hey, don’t say that lonely thing, Gracia~. We’re friends, right?”

“It will take at least three weeks to get from Carmel to Fledan.”

“What was that like! To be honest, you’ve never been to Fledan, so you wanted to go, didn’t you?”

“I did, but I don’t want that opportunity to get caught up in you.”

The reason Raifa wanted to go to Fldan was obvious.

He must have been itching because he was curious about how strong the rumored Dungeon Crasher was.

“Tsk tsk tsk, this isn’t just for my curiosity. I’m praying for you, Gracia.”

“For me?”

“Yeah! You’re too old to be getting married soon… No matter how much you’re an adopted daughter, you’re a decent Locke woman, aren’t you? If you continue to be an old maid.. .Sir Galf’s reputation could be damaged.”

“Ugh…”

“But I know you very well~ You don’t want to marry a man weaker than yourself, do you? Even in the Knights, there are few guys who can deal with us.

Tingling, Raifa looked at the adventurers around her.

“These guys are cowards who won’t fight even if I set unconventional conditions.”

“…If we get hurt while attacking, we’re the only ones hurting.”

“Then don’t get hurt.”

“I’ll have to deal with that, these guys! Really.”

Raifa looked at me again and said.

“Aren’t there many strong adventurers in Fledan? There might be a guy with a good personality, or a guy you like.”

“In other words… Are you asking me to accompany you in your search for a groom and also look for me?”

“That’s it!”

“… Raifa. Are you planning to take a Dungeon Crasher as your husband?”

“Huh? No, honestly, I just want to see how strong he is. My husband… Even if I try to make him my husband, he’s a hero like that, so I’m sure he already has the woman he wants .I’m surprisingly pure-hearted~ My man only wants me to look at him?”

“Looking at your behavior now, I don’t think so at all, Raifa.”

Haha! Don’t pay attention to trifles! So? Are you going?”

Raifa asks for my opinion with her eyes shining brightly.

If you don’t nod, it’s obvious that you intend to stick around until you accept.

“Haa… It looks like we’ll be going out for a long time, so let’s prepare each other by tomorrow.”

“Yaho! That’s how you’re my friend! Then I’ll prepare it, so let’s meet tomorrow morning!”

Raifa smiled and quickly ran out of the adventurer’s guild.

As they ran out, the male adventurers were staring at the exposed buttocks that were already clearly visible.

“Kuhm!”

“”Wow!?””

It’s already showing like that, and it’s a daily appearance, so I won’t criticize it, but a little caution is needed.

◈

Back at the mansion, I was walking down the hallway to tell my father that I was going to Fldan.

“Ah, Sister Gracia~!”

“Alex.”

Seeing me in the hallway, Alex ran over.

Blue hair and wolf ears just like his father his.

And gray eyes.

My precious little brother who has something I don’t have.

“Are you going to the guild?”

“Right, what was Alex doing?”

“I learned about swordsmanship today! The teacher praised me for being good at it!”

“That’s great. Father will be pleased too.”

“… Isn’t Sister Gracia happy?”

“Of course I’m happy too.”

A younger brother is a younger brother even if they are not related by blood.

From a young age, when my mother is busy, I take care of her, so Alex has family affection.

He’s a cute younger brother who won’t hurt even if you put it in his eyes.

“Ah, Sister Gracia, it smells like alcohol.”

“Oh, but? I only had one drink. I’m sorry, Alex.”

“No! I want to drink with you when I grow up someday!”

“Hehe, yes. I’m looking forward to the day Alex and I have a drink together. Then, excuse me, I have business with my father.”

“Yes!”

And I arrived in front of my father’s office.

Knock Knock

“Who is it.”

“Father, I am.”

“Come in.”

I opened the door and entered my father’s office.

My father is a Knight of the Round Table.

Not only for his skills his, but also for Bridan.

And he is doing all sorts of things for King Yaseo.

“What’s going on? If it’s a request to continue using the training ground as usual…”

“No, father. That’s not it… I’m telling you that I’ll be going out for a while.”

My father’s hand, which was doing his housework with a firm grip, stopped.

“A long-term outing…? Are you referring to an adventurer request?”

“No, at Raifa’s invitation… I’m going to visit Fuldan.”

“Haa… Again, Sir Gwain’s youngest child…”

Father sighs.

My father doesn’t have a very good impression of Raifa.

If you look for the reason, there will be many, but… It didn’t feel right to her personally that her father looked at her friend her, her father her disapprovingly.

“Father, it is said that there are many strong adventurers in Fledan. And the dungeon that is the cause of that… I also want to know what kind of place Fledan, the gathering place of the strong, is.”

This is sincere.

As a body that wants to be a knight like my father one day, I have a desire to know how wide the world is.

However…

“Haa, Gracia, I’m sure I told you this. You don’t have to choose the path to become a knight.

“… Yes, Father.”

“That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be a knight and become an adventurer. Of course, if you really want to become an adventurer, I won’t stop you. But… Can’t you find another way? “

“I’m sorry…”

Also, my father… It seems that you don’t want me to work outside.

For the honor of the Locke family, paying attention to the eyes of the people around them.

Even if you love your family, even if you value me, your father is also an aristocrat.

The one carrying Rochgar on his back.

Of course, you also care about the eyes of those around you.

If it is your father’s will…

“Father. I want to go to Fledan as expected.”

“You must… Did you mean it?”

“Yes, I really want to go.”

If my father doesn’t want me to become a knight…

If my father doesn’t want me to be an adventurer…

At least it would be good to find someone like Raifa to be my husband.

When I have a family, I have no choice but to stop outside activities to raise a child and support my husband.

That side… Good for dad

My father is the benefactor who picked me up abandoned on the side of the road and adopted me as the adopted daughter of the Locke family.

And the person I respect more than anyone else.

My father would rather find happiness as a woman than me as a knight.

Okay… Rather than developing my skills and stepping forward… It’s better for Alex to follow in his father’s footsteps when he grows up.

Even if he wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a knight, he had no intention of becoming the head of the Locke family.

But from my father’s point of view… Will my act of wanting to become a knight become a nuisance after all…

You’ve never said anything like that before… Just looking at the disapproval of me going to the training ground recently… That much was to be expected.

So…

Yes, i’ve decided

Let’s follow Raifa and find a groom.

‘Cause I’m old too

If you can’t find a lover even after turning 25, there are even rumors that you are in danger and have no hope of reaching 30.

“Haa… I got it. Then be careful and go home.”

“Yes, Father. I will make sure to bring you news that will make you happy… I will do my best.”

If possible, to find even a man to be engaged to.

“Your safe return is the happiest news to me, Gracia.”

Ah, as expected, I am treated with respect by my father.

I can feel sincere concern from my father’s words his.

That’s why I… I didn’t want to worry my father any more.

My heart to find the person who would be my West was even stronger.

◈

Next day.

After getting ready, I waited for Raifa at the Adventurer’s Guild.

“Hey, did you wait?”

Raifa, with an inventory on her waist, appeared wearing a gauntlet-type gauntlet.

“Still late.”

Haha, I’m sorry. Huh? What? You look different than when we broke up yesterday?”

Maybe it’s because they’ve been friends since childhood.

Raifa noticed my change of heart.

“That’s right, I’m going to work with you to find someone who will be my wife in earnest this time.”

“Ohhh? Really? What happened?”

“As you said, I’m 25 now. Having a family… I think my father would prefer it too.”

“Ehh… His father’s father. Aren’t you a very father-in-law?”

“It’s not Dadercom. This is just pure respect and gratitude to my father…”

“Ah, nung~ nung~ I’m tired of listening to it. But Sir Galf allowed it, right? I was preparing to take it by force if he didn’t allow it for some reason.”

“What do you think of my father? My father is not the kind of person who is trying to restrain me. I was worried, so I stopped him once, but he understood.”

“Okay?”

“Rather than that, were you okay? Lord Grappa really likes you.”

“Well, there are only three older brothers on top. Yesterday, when I was leaving to find someone to be in the West, I was teasing… And arguing with my older brothers. Well, my mother agreed, so I couldn’ don’t even shout, but kick it. You should have seen that scene too.”

“Don’t laugh too much. It’s all proof that your older brothers and Sir Grappa love you.”

“Still, that’s called being overprotective. My mother rather scolded me for not trying to find a husband for her now? How was your mother?”

“My mother just told me to be careful and go home. Rather, it was difficult to cry for Alex not to leave.”

“Ah~ your brother loves you so much. Just like you respect Lord Galf.”

“Alex like how I respect my father… It’s embarrassing to think that way. I’m not as good as my father, but I’m very happy that my brother thinks so.”

“It’s still father, father. Why don’t you find the true love you’re talking about on this trip and at least graduate?”

“There’s no such thing as father’s graduation, Raifa. Father is always an object of respect. There is no graduation in the first place.”

“Ehh, it’s really serious. Oh, did you bring your inventory?”

“Of course I brought it.”

I slightly unfolded my cloak and showed the inventory on the shoulder straps.

“Okay, did you pack food, bedding, and everything else?”

“I’m not you, Raifa. I’ve prepared everything carefully beforehand.”

“Hey, am I well prepared?”

“I didn’t forget that the last time I didn’t put my wallet in my inventory, so I was responsible for all the accommodation costs.”

“Ah, ahaha… Is that so? Wait a minute, I’ll check it now… Okay! I’ve got everything! No problem!”

“Haa…Then let’s go.”

“Yes yes! Wait, Dungeon Crasher! Wait, Fledan! Wait! My future west! I am coming now!”

Then, Raifa and I began our journey to the West towards Fledan.
