Chapter 232 – The End of Roman!

“Shall we talk for a minute?”

“Uh···.”

Is she feeling good or bad. Is it to confirm and criticize her own ugliness?

Looking through Roman’s eyes, I couldn’t guess.

“Follow me.”

“…”

Alice finished her words, passed Roman and started down her stairs.

Roman also let go of the doorknob he was holding and went back down the stairs he had just climbed.

I open the door of the inn and come out, but I don’t know where the destination is.

The position of Roman, who silently follows Alice, has been fixed ever since he was with Edelman.

The only time Roman is in front of Alice is in charge of her avant-garde, and the moment when she proceeds with her request is over.

“Rice is?”

Roman suddenly stopped walking when she suddenly turned her head.

“Mmm, I ate…”

“Ummm, then where are you going?”

Although she is dwarfed to be called a saint, she follows Alice as she confidently walks across the capital.

It reminds me of the times we spent stirring Edelman together.

“Are you okay here?”

The shop Alice pointed her finger at was a tavern located on the other side of the adventurer’s guild.

Roman, who saw the signboard, nodded slowly.

Alice, who showed a weak smile for an unknown reason, went into the store and sat down at an empty seat.

“What about Isolde?”

“I joined another party.”

Alice smiled as if she was rather relieved by those words and accepted the glass the staff member handed her.

“That’s right. Isolde’s job is to be an adventurer.”

“…”

Having intuition about what the next question would be and who it would be addressed to, Roman kept his mouth shut in nervousness.

Alice intuited that the conversation would be prolonged or frustrating, and gulped down the drink in her glass.

Roman, who was sitting across from him, was swayed by just one ‘tension’.

Even as her throat burned, she couldn’t take a sip of the liquid from the cup.

“Roman.”

“Yeah!”

The fact that it repeatedly fuels the feeling of anxiety in the midst of Roman, who answers Eoyoung and Booyoung.

Just like now- it was a quiet atmosphere like a volcano on the verge of erupting.

To put it bluntly.

It’s the same logic as when someone who doesn’t usually get angry gets angry.

Alice, who commanded the adventurer’s party and showed a hot-tempered temperament.

It was quiet and quiet, so the fact that he lowered his voice pushed Roman even more.

“Don’t lie in front of me. Have you ever lied to me and not been caught?

“…”

Did you take it as a positive?

Alice went straight ahead without turning around to quickly end this position of hers that was uncomfortable with her.

“Did you join another party like Isolde?”

I shake my head slightly in the negative.

Alice furrowed her eyebrows in annoyance at the passive behavior in front of her.

“No? Then where did you go today?”

“I just… I came to help because there was an empty seat at the silver level party. I’m not a member yet…”

Even in Edelman, Roman was like this.

If someone doesn’t pull it from the side, it will quickly sit down.

Even if you don’t understand. If this was the case, she had no reason to abandon the swordsmanship guild and become an adventurer.

Although she chose the adventurer after herself.

Adventurers who should have enterprising values ​​and Roman’s tendencies are different.

“Yes. Well, that’s free. Lastly, just answer this.”

“···What?”

It was not only Roman who was thirsty for this atmosphere, but Alice habitually lifted and put down the empty glass.

“Why didn’t you tell your parents to wait at Edelman?”

“…”

If it was like before She might have rushed for an answer by running wild like a flame and grabbing Roman by the collar.

But.

She also sits in the recovery room of the church, talks to her parents, and thinks over and over again, her head cold.

“Let’s assume that the same incident happened… It’s a family, so you can think of it as just words.

“Yeah. That’s right…”

“Not because I’m the leader of the adventurer’s party. I’ve known him for a long time and I think it’s the duty of knowing my family.”

Since then, let Roman remain silent as if his mouth was sewn.

Alice added one more word of hers.

“Since I even sent a letter to the adventurer’s guild. Given Roman’s personality, wouldn’t he have been thinking about this answer? Judging from the reaction when we met, I don’t think he knew he’d come to the capital so quickly.”

Like an expert who has at least dissected Roman’s head.

Alice’s confident words were full of content that Roman could not refute, and there was nothing wrong with them.

In addition to the joy that Alice is alive, the days were so complicated that I couldn’t even sleep.

“Roman. I’ll ask again. Why didn’t you tell me?”

Looking at Alice’s shiny eyes, Roman realized.

If you don’t answer honestly, there won’t be a breakthrough.

A premonition that the excuses that I thought I deserved alone would not work.

“That, that’s…”

Eyes fixed on the floor.

She didn’t take a sip of her drink and looked at Roman who was dazed, Alice said in a calm tone.

“Tell me honestly, no lies. Then I won’t get angry.”

Without knowing what signal the other person said they would not be angry with.

Roman believes Alice’s words and puts her desperate efforts into the past, which is embarrassing.

I pulled out some time ago.

“It’s not that I didn’t want to tell Edelman…!”

Mental wear and tear rather than material ones.

He even appealed that he worked hard while going back and forth to the adventurer’s guild.

It reminded me of someone who had the same name but stood on the opposite side.

‘…It doesn’t change.’

You can tell by listening. When it comes to interpersonal relationships, he’s soft like slime.

It was because he knew the inside of Roman, who was like a little fox.

The sound Roman made with her mouth did not deviate from Alice’s expectations at all.

‘Coward··.’

In the end, she was so afraid of what kind of accusations and curses she would hear if she informed her parents.

At the starting point, I needed time to organize my emotions and prepare my mind.

She wished it had been a bit longer until the finish that she had tried to contact Edelman.

“Yes. I see.”

“Yeah… I’m really sorry.”

“Roman, she used to be afraid of her father.”

This is the best understanding Alice can make.

Alice did not feel anger as she listened to Roman’s story full of rhetoric.

Now she may have given up her deep-thinking efforts to understand the old relationship.

“Roman. Everyone is afraid of being criticized and pointed at. You have to endure that and move forward.”

“Sorry···.”

Seeing Roman’s self-reflection face, Alice felt her body’s strength drain away and was overcome with drowsiness.

‘Okay. That’s enough for Roman…’

If I say more than this, I will no longer have a relationship with myself.

How surprised my parents were when they received the letter from Edelman.

When she heard that she had not delivered the news, she felt how futile she felt.

It hurts my mouth to tell you all these complaints.

She didn’t even feel the reason to tell her anymore.

Alice, who emptied out the remnants of minor emotions and cleaned up her insides.

She decided to put an end to her place because she wanted to sleep in a quiet room.

“Yeah… That’s enough. I’m going to leave now that all my questions have been answered.”

Dreuk!

“Hey, Alice!”

Seeing Alice pushing off her chair and getting up, Roman also hurriedly grabbed his sword and stood up.

Ominous intuition.

At this rate, I felt a strong feeling that Alice and I were really over.

If Alice, after hearing her own story, was angry as usual.

Alice said she was sorry then she got angry and said she was going to continue the conversation with herself.

The relationship would have continued smoothly as before.

But this felt completely different.

“Wait for a sec··!”

Alice finished her calculations without looking back at Roman, who followed and spit out words.

Go outside and take a long sigh with the clear sky in your eyes.

With a relaxed mind after clearing and organizing the lumps inside.

He patted Roman on the shoulder and smiled.

“Live well on your own. If we run into each other in the guild or at the inn, let’s just say hello.

“…”

Roman, who had been trying to catch Alice with various plans and future plans.

When she saw the light of her resignation in her gaze as she looked at her, she couldn’t say anything about her.

*****

Even if you continue with silver rank quests, you cannot go up.

She has the merit of being in almost no death-dealing situation, and even if her money isn’t sufficient, it won’t be lacking.

‘I’ll live well on my own.’

If I go right back to the dorm, will I see my face again?

Alice, who decided to take her for a short walk, moved her feet in a direction she hadn’t been to, usually being hit by her request.

“Oh~”

Take a look at the magnificent mansions of the 5 knights that everyone in the empire says they don’t know.

She ate an unripe, fresh apple and headed inside.

‘How much would a mansion like that cost?’

The manor smelled of people because it was lively and well-maintained caught my eye.

It’s not as big and grand as the mansion of the 5 knights, but I felt the location was better here.

I took a few steps to see it up close.

– Siik?!

Tero let out an incomprehensible cry and suddenly jumped up from his head, jumped, and crawled through the bars of the mansion.

Alice hastily reached out to catch her tail, but she was too late.

“Tero! Are you going to keep doing this these days? Are you scolded?”

No matter how naughty the spirit is, she usually doesn’t feel it.

Looking at Tero’s unexpected moves recently, Alice feels how free-spirited and curious her spirit is.

These days, I wonder if he believed in Tero and made the contract too loose.

“Ah really!”

Widely! Widely! Widely!

Following the contractor’s feeling, he moved his feet toward the mansion’s walls.

I can roughly tell where Tero is with my senses.

After going around the wall and finding a position, I can feel Tero playing excitedly behind the wall.

The sound of grass and rustling leaves. Good, well-managed soil.

‘It’s a flower bed!’

Should I go ahead and get the terro? And what if you get caught?

Because I have a lot of thoughts, I’m sticking my forehead against the cold wall.

A voice was clearly audible.

“Who are you?”

Alice, startled, slowly turned her head.

With jewel-like purple eyes and a cross scar on his face.

A beautiful girl was looking at herself.
