Chapter 239 – Sister’s House

There was a saying that there is no need to overdo it if you are busy. Alice expressed her will to help unconditionally, without a second thought.

She said it didn’t take long and ended quickly, so there’s no reason to reject it.

She might be able to learn something from Baek-geum, so she wanted to go even if he didn’t want to come.

There.

‘Even if it’s very little, I have to pay my debt…’

There is time to postpone and wait without looking for another request, so I finish by helping Lilline if she comes.

“I’m going to go now. I ate well.”

While spending time together, Roman stood up after checking the time.

“See you in the evening!”

“Uh, see you later.”

She sends him to come back to the guild in the evening as she has work to do first.

Alice moved her gaze slowly, lost in her thoughts.

A request accepted orally without a written contract. Even so, she thinks about the floating section.

It’s a part where you feel caring, the opposite of a rough and wild energy, so I can’t dare to judge what it is.

Rather than these complicated and lengthy expressions.

Alice’s feelings now, looking back on her conversation with Roman, were simple.

‘…He is thoughtful.’

Should I say that I can feel the delicate corners like thin glass in my actions and actions?

I still can’t figure out what kind of person he is when I look at his manners and soft actions that are soft like starlight.

“…”

An empty bowl full of food.

An empty glass with the bottom visible.

And the empty seat opposite the person who left.

The tavern was noisy with the raucous noise coming down from above and the drunks in the shop.

Even so.

Alice felt her body grow heavy as she felt a sense of solitude and silence that she had never experienced since coming to the capital.

I moved my gaze to throw away the sloppy emotions.

“Tero.”

– ···.

Will there be a soul when the place to go disappears?

Alice reached out her hand first to Tero, who was hiding under her bowl while noticing herself.

“Come up.”

– Shii!

As if she’s glad she doesn’t say much, she quickly takes her hand and settles on top of her head.

“If you keep acting unexpectedly without warning, I’m going to get really angry now.”

-Shhhhh…

“Even if I want to go to Roman-sama, it’s right for me to ask first before going. Okay?”

Tero’s behavior of biting the sheep’s hair to tell her to stop nagging her now.

Alice let out a deep sigh.

She sat still at the table, stomping her feet, contemplating her path ahead.

‘Should I find out in advance if there’s a party to go to tomorrow?’

There is a big gap from now until evening.

Roman’s request, which will be late after the sun goes down, will end soon without going beyond the day.

Adventurers have to think about earning a living tomorrow again.

“Um~”

Even if you don’t need urgent money, time is finite and precious.

If you don’t have the talent to overwhelm with a smile even the hard work that other people’s lives have gone through.

A diligent and diligent attitude is a basic requirement.

‘Recruitment… If you’re a wizard, you’ll have more room than a avant-garde.’

Alice, who was trying to get her body up with the thought of looking around the request board.

Just in time, she saw figures coming down the stairs.

The timing feels like a miracle.

Rich pink hair and light green eyes that look soft like clouds.

For an adventurer, this beautiful woman with modest gestures and a pliable impression was the person the platinum adventurer was looking for.

“Oh my! Alice!”

She said that when she sees herself, she thinks of her little brother who goes to the academy.

Lilyne waved her hand softly, holding something in her eyes that reminded her of intimacy and maternal love.

“Hey! Miss~ You look healthy.”

And the man who comes down behind him.

A man with a natural height that is not inferior to his father, who is training disciples in Edelman.

Seeing the two of them approaching, Alice got up from her seat, greeted them, and immediately brought up the subject.

…
…

“… Mr. Roman, my magic?”

Lilyne looked more perplexed than delighted at the words that came through Alice’s mouth.

“Yes! I have a question… Why are you doing that?”

Unlike just before, her face and voice hardened heavily.

Alice questioned her reaction, and Lilyne smiled lightly and shook her head.

“Ahaha… It’s the first time this has happened. Even with magic, I don’t think it’s useful enough for a platinum rank.”

Lark, who was listening to the story next to him, also moved his eyebrows in waves, as if it was difficult to predict the reason.

“That guy Roman is magic? I don’t know what the wind blows, but I don’t think he’s trying to learn magic.”

“I think so too. I don’t know if it’s related to the request, but it could be a matter of personal curiosity.”

When there is no convincing answer. Tsk! Lark clicked his tongue while making a sound.

“He’s a strange guy, but he’s not the kind of guy who would do weird things. If this happens…”

“Of course we should meet.”

Lilyne firmly connected Lark’s slack words behind him.

From Lark and Lilyne’s point of view, even if they feel close, Roman is platinum.

Because the position itself in the empire is different.

Lily You can’t ignore her now that you’ve heard her talk about finding yourself.

If she does say no, it makes sense to meet her, explain the situation, and decline politely.

“Then I’ll see you at that time!”

“Are you going to meet Alice too?”

You forgot this explanation!

As Lilyne tilted her head with her questioning, Alice knew that she was not very good at speaking.

“He said that he would like to receive my help today if it doesn’t work.

“Umm… What the hell is going on?”

Lily Ne thought of her, her voice filled with complexity.

Lark got a glass of water, drank it, and turned around, probably knowing the adventurers at the table next to him.

“Then I’ll be back, so stay with the lady.”

“Ah! Thanks!”

Since Lark has a seat at the tavern, he said that he would report the request and come.

He tortured the wooden stairs with his heavy body and headed upwards.

Seeing that, Alice opened her mouth first, breaking her silence.

“It looks like you’ve been on a quest.”

“Yeah. It wasn’t difficult because the distance was far.”

Responding to questions in a relaxed atmosphere with a smile.

Doesn’t she see herself overlapping with her brother?

She was so comfortable that if she had an older sister, she would feel like this.

“Alice is going to leave when Mr. Roman’s request is over?”

“I think it will take a while because I have to find a new party.”

“Oh···.”

“It’s okay to feel free to mention it! It’s not like there’s a big accident or problem.”

Seeing her speechless moment, her Alice shook her hand first and piled up her excuses.

She briefly exchanged her regards, but after checking her time several times, she glanced down the stairs and waited for Lark to come down.

“It’s time to come back to the guild… I need to eat a meal.

“You’re on good terms.”

Most of the aristocrats Alice had seen so far, even her siblings, were worse than others.

I don’t know if the direction of emotion is towards each other, but it was nice to see.

“That’s why I’m worried. When my younger brother says he’s an adventurer, he smiles and likes it. He says he’ll be an adventurer in the future.”

Hearing her story, Alice could easily guess what Lily’s intentions were.

Her real brother dreams of being an adventurer? The reaction of the family that will come out of there is one.

“You might want to stop. My parents also brought up such a story this time.”

“Uhm~ isn’t it?”

Lilyne let out a weak laugh as she smiled bitterly at the accurate guess that pierced her heart.

Then, she evokes her theme once again.

“Alice, are you going to wait here until dinner?”

“Perhaps. Since the request has been decided, it is ambiguous to go anywhere…”

Hearing her reply, Lilyne, who had tapped her lips with her finger, cautiously opened hers.

“Then—”

*****

Ricke and Chloe wait for each other when the academy is over, then meet up and leave.

Seeing the two leave, Seria waves her hand and promises her tomorrow.

Same today.

On the way back to her dormitory after finishing the schedule, Seria prayed fervently.

‘Please, even in the second year!’

At the question time right before class ended, she asked the instructor about next year’s schedule.

The answer came back saying that the future plans were undecided, so the exact details could not be given.

Some of the Knights Faculty seemed to be relieved by those words, but there was nothing but regret for themselves.

It was clear that she was one of the lucky ones in her life to be a first-year student experiencing real-life classes led by Platinum for the first time.

The actual class is painful and breathless, but it is fun and worthwhile to learn.

If you absorb what you learned that day and try to fix the points pointed out, the week goes by like a lightning bolt.

A particularly pleasant sensation.

While you’re working hard, being able to sincerely care for and beautify yourself is the best way to raise your self-esteem!

There is also a sense of being intoxicated by her own image of enduring her pain and running into the strong.

‘Honestly, it’s a bit cool!’

When Seria criticizes herself, she definitely criticizes, encourages, and cares for herself.

Her instructor, who even grasped her thoughts, which was embarrassing to put her self out of her mouth.

She also commented that she would be a very good strength if she had the spirit of being able to pat her on the back as her driving force.

Arriving at the academy dormitory, Seria stopped her feet at her entrance.

“Uh!”

In the dormitory, each room has a number, and there is a separate mailbox.

Seeing the sign that her letter had arrived, Seria met her manager and handed her the letter.

The content was that it came back every time, but it was all delivered by special delivery on the same day.

How you don’t know

Sarak-

Seria, who took out her letter and quickly read her brief content on the spot, raised the corner of her mouth.

‘You’re back!’

She was relieved to hear that she had returned safely.

Seria went back to her private room and left her academy, leaving only her bag behind.

…

A small house with lights on as proof that the owner is there.

My mouth watered at the thought of eating dinner already made by her sister.

What are you going to cook today?

Seria approached, smelling her, and opened the door without hesitation.

“Sister!”

“Seria. We have guests, so don’t act strange.”

“Huh?”

It was the first guest at her sister’s house.

Moving her head, she saw a woman sitting in her chair.

Dreuk-

The woman who got up from the chair smiled at herself and showed an example first.

“Hello, Lady Electra. I’m Alice, a gold-ranked adventurer from the capital’s branch.”

“That, gold grade adventurer…! Hello!!”

I’m relieved that the customer is a woman.

The introduction that she is a gold-class adventurer despite her appearance that does not feel the age difference between herself and hers.

Seria’s longing for her adventurer was filled with interest and curiosity.

There, she lowered her gaze.

‘···!’

The moment she saw the regrettable breast size that was not much different from her own.

To the beautiful girl with healthy complexion, Seria felt an unknown intimacy and camaraderie.

“Please take good care of me in the future!!!”

Seria’s gaze as she poured out her overflowing energy and vigorously extended her hand.

She knows where she just headed.

Alice accepted her handshake, unable to hide her slightly shy expression.

“That, yes… Thank you very much.”
