Chapter 135 – The Second Wanderer -1-

After watching Éclair disappear from sight with the modest steps that gave off the dignity of a knight.

He returned to the guild building with a sense of satisfaction from having had a precious time with my woman.

Although there is still a lot of noise in the underground tavern.

After a certain busy time with adventurers, the first floor, where the receptionists are located, feels as quiet as it is now.

“Huh hmm~”

I approached the receptionist who was enjoying her time while manicuring her nails with her hum as if the immediate task was over.

‘It was a box like that last time.’

On one side of the wall of the room, between the boxes with the adventurer’s guild’s seal. Two neat, sturdy looking boxes in one color.

It looks like that, but I asked the receptionist to confirm.

“Did that one next to me come to me?”

Pausing in response to my question, she pointed to her box with a polite hand gesture that felt like a career.

“Ah-! Yes! Two boxes with no patterns on the outside are for Roman-sama.”

You can’t pour potions from boxes into your inventory, so you have to take them with you.

Before she opened the box, she crouched down in the corner to check the contents.

Rustle-

“Oh-!”

It’s strange to say this. Rather than the amount and type of potion, I was impressed by its shape.

It is still the same that each of the glass bottles containing the colorful liquid is shaped like a noble work of art.

Most of them have a woman with wings embossed on them, as if they were motifs of goddesses.

This uniqueness was familiar to the eyes because he had received consumables at the time of carrying out the imperial family’s request.

‘Next time, I’ll have to say that it’s an ordinary disease.’

Glass bottles made by hand or through a special process like this openly deviate from the imperial standard, so you can tell what kind of potion it is by looking at the bottom or lid.

I would like to think about this from the receiving side, but I think doing this to consumables is really inefficient.

However, high-ranking people seem to want to show that they are different even in a place like this.

“Hmm-“

It’s not what’s in the box.

As for beauty, I took out a regeneration potion that I had kept after beating up Nottingham in the past for the dying receptionist.

No matter how quickly I go out, when I openly accept things like this, I save face to those around me.

“Here ~ a present for our struggling receptionist.”

“Oh! Thank you!”

I guess I was expecting it from the beginning. It’s nice to have an honest attitude that doesn’t bounce or refuse once.

Because the guild receptionist in charge of administration and the adventurers are on good terms, there is nothing wrong with it.

If you release them one by one like this, it will take care of annoying things that you might have forgotten or information you need to update.

In fact, it can be seen that taking care of the guild’s receptionist is a fair price rather than giving it to clumsy adventurers.

‘I’ll take care of one for Lily’s… I’ll have to harass Lark before giving it to him.’

I stuffed a few potions from the box into my pocket, closed the box, and placed another box on top of it.

“Okay. Then I’ll come down for a while. Please watch so that no one touches those things.”

“Don’t worry, just go~”

Leaving behind the receptionist who seemed happy about the unexpected windfall, he headed to the underground tavern.

Squeak- squeak-

I went down the wooden stairs that made a friendly sound with my stomach.

I went down the stairs to pay for the meal I picked up from the table earlier, and luckily I see Lark and Lilyne, who are still in their seats.

And an unexpected person was also at the table, but it was not unusual among adventurers.

‘That kind of adventurer isn’t it. Where… I’m cleaning.’

Looking at the man mopping the floor with a rotten expression, he must have completely sobered up.

I pass by a person with the same name who is surprised to see me and backs away.

I approached the table where Lark, Lily, and a girl were seated and started talking.

“It’s been a long time today. A day that doesn’t go out on request?”

“Hee-!!”

The dark-skinned girl who turned behind her and saw my face was startled with her seizures to the extent that the blonde covering one of her eyes stirred, and then covered her mouth with both of her hands.

‘If I stay for a long time, I’ll pass out.’

She looks younger than Rike, but when you think of Seria, you wouldn’t even know that.

I thought it would be best not to pay attention to the girl’s reaction, so I turned her gaze and fixed it on Lily’s.

“I think we’ll be leaving this evening. Is Roman finished?”

“Uh~ Well, I have to go out again, but one is over now.”

“Roman. I want to ask you something. Why don’t you sit down? I’ll order food for you.”

“What?”

“Whether it’s rice or alcohol, I’m talking about eating more. Sit down!”

Suddenly, you want to buy food for free? There is nothing more suspicious than this.

Lark’s smile now was somehow sinister, that of an unpleasant old man.

‘Uh- It’s hard to see.’

The thought of giving him a potion after harassing him disappeared like the wind when he saw the face of the man whose taste was disappearing while watching the eclair.

“I have to go now because I’m busy. This is the price of the meal I ate earlier.”

The eyes of the two widened as they received each glass bottle that flew in a parabola.

“… Mr. Roman! This is too much!”

“If you want to dispose of the liquid, you can throw it down the drain or down the toilet. There’s a bottle dump for glass over there.”

As Lilyne was about to jump up from her seat, he grabbed her by the shoulders and put her back down. Let’s use the special move ‘If you don’t want to drink, throw it away’.

“Really mean…”

She came to thank me with her duck-like mouth sticking out, packing a potion in her leather bag and politely bowing her head.

“Mr. Roman. Thank you so much-I’ll use it well. I’ll repay you.”

“Reciprocation? I’ll wait without expecting anything.”

As Lilyne and I were having a warm, flower-scented conversation, Lark broke into the gap with a huge volume.

Haha! Did you take a big hit this time? I won’t give it back even if you ask for it back!”

As I was about to leave, ignoring Larc’s words, I remembered that there was one more person in the party.

“There was also a chamber. Bring one.”

“Oh! I’ll be sure to tell you!”

He threw an additional potion to Lark and gently shook the potion with its contents in front of the girl sitting right next to her with her eyes down.

When I threw one of her potions at the girl who was slowly looking up at me with her doubt and fear mixed in her face, the feeling of doubt deepened in her golden eyes.

Widely-!

“Being an adventurer is such a sudden luck and there are misfortunes like before.”

“Hoo~”

“Shh··!”

Lark, who voiced interest without noticing her, was quieted by Lillie’s elbow.

“I might see you more often, but are you going to keep walking like that?

“··Oh, thank you!”

“Don’t die and live a long time. I go to work and suffer.”

I casually greeted the table and came up from the tavern, leaving the guild with a box on each arm.

Now it’s time to go to the academy and send back the manpower introduced by the information guild and stand the boring guard duty.

…
…

“Good job.”

“It’s hard to see kids like that. It’s to the point where I’m sorry to receive this much for a job without tension. Oops…! Of course, I can’t discount it!”

He doesn’t even know his real name, and his voice and appearance are different every time we meet, but he’s good at one thing.

His snobbish attitude and rapid-fire speech were still the same, as he hurriedly hid his pocket full of gold coins in case I stole it again.

His height and skeleton are smaller than before, as if he had used his skills or artifacts.

Wearing an academy uniform that I don’t know where I got it from. Wearing a new face leather that doesn’t feel incongruous, he even changes his habits and acts.

It’s amazing that it’s such a common face that I’ve seen in passing.

“Go now.”

“Yes! Have a hard time!”

I don’t know anything else, but like a guy with fast feet, I confirmed that he disappeared without looking back, and I moved on.

Never wondering what the hell I was observing them for.

That may be the reason why the names of people involved in guilds, including information guilds, are long.

“Whoa-“

I let out a sigh of relief as I recalled the news that the two of them had skipped class just before I came and headed toward the forest that connects to the academy grounds.

Even this cannot be considered definitive yet.

If Robert and Isaac move together, there is a high probability that they will be involved in the experiment.

‘It’s crazy to save money on a place like this.’

What would have really happened if I hadn’t kept my eyes on Robert and Isaac today.

The belief that unhappiness related to accidents caused by missing the timing comes from indolence or complacency was deeply engraved.

‘If you look carefully at the timing, you might be able to remove ‘that’ as well?’

The perks of Robert Bolt, the protagonist of Akarite, do not end with great skills, body, talent, and growth rate.

I don’t know if Robert himself knows.

An artifact passed down from generation to generation in the Volt marquis family, which looks like a disposable guide or help in the game, is a ‘genealogy’.

It is a one-time use that is used once per family member, but it is quite annoying when applied to reality.

When a name is engraved on the ability and blood is shed, it proves the lineage of the person as a direct or collateral descendant of the Bolt family.

At the time Robert was born, he would have been registered as soon as he was a little older.

You can tell the moment you get stuck while playing the game, but that’s not the true power of the artifact, Genealogy.

If a creature attempting to harm a ‘lineal’ person of the House of Bolt succeeds in killing the direct, or produces a significant, life-threatening wound.

Information about the other person is entered on one page of the genealogy. This information is quite detailed, so even if you borrow someone else’s hand, the background is revealed.

In the game, it’s a helper-like artifact that serves as a storyline that becomes a wall or a strategy for attacking enemies.

In reality, I do not know what information will be entered if I am entered in the genealogy.

‘Even if something happened, it would be difficult to use my hands, but it will be easier if I leave out the genealogy this time.’

Considering Robert’s skills now, even if he had a pincer attack with Isaac, he would never be able to defeat the second wanderer.

It is my wish to open up to at least the fourth dimension, so even if a limb is blown away, I will not let it die.

If you die… It’s your responsibility, so there’s nothing you can do about it.
