Chapter 250 – Concierge Girl

It would be correct to say that they both surprised each other at the same time.

However, the size is different.

Compared to Roman’s feelings, Alice’s head was close to a thousand bucks.

Not one, but two unexpected people.

Besides, I never dreamed that the two were related, but now I’ve come face to face.

Alice lowered her head for the first time before her head overheated and her demeanor was disturbed.

“Oh, how are you!!”

– Shiiik!

As Alice’s head tilted sharply, Tero grabbed her blonde hair and hung on to it.

“…?”

Dorian opened her eyes as she saw Alice bowing in astonishment at the sight of her opponent.

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t figure out the situation properly.

The black-haired man spoke first before she could tidy up her hair.

“There’s still days left, but I’m meeting you like this? I’m surprised.”

“Yes, yes! I was also surprised…”

Dorian took a step back and stood beside Alice with her eyes down.

Her daughter’s gaze was spinning round and round unsteadily.

Unfortunately, I can’t afford to wait for him to calm down.

“Alice. Who are they?”

At her request for an explanation, Alice looked back and forth between Dorian and Roman.

When Roman smiled and gestured that it was okay, the girl hesitated and opened her mouth.

“Dad. Who is that adventurer…”

…

With her awkward smile, Alice spoke candidly about her experience, which broke Dorian’s heart.

“In the dungeon, the floor collapsed because of the Tau and I got caught up in the current—-.”

The day when a letter came out of nowhere and told her that Alice was lying on her bed.

It is a recent past and a vivid nightmare for Dorian and Jane.

‘That day…’

She confronted her daughter at church and did not ask her in detail about the accident as it seemed to remind her of a bad time.

Feeling the threat to her life, she must have been the most traumatized.

I was simply grateful that Alice was safe.

“…”

What kind of accidents and mistakes were there and who was the benefactor who was said to have helped. I waited for Alice to smile and release those details one day.

She never expected to hear such a profound story on a street like this without warning.

Dorian listens to her daughter’s voice.

It wasn’t once or twice that I wanted to stop the story in the middle.

‘Platinum?! Roman…?’

Even if it’s blue gold, I don’t know how to treat it right away. Platinum?

The name is the same as the son you want to kill, but why is the situation and atmosphere as different as the sky and the earth?

The tension made Dorian feel his mouth dry.

‘Platinum at such a young age…’

She hadn’t even heard of an increase in platinum, as she had settled down in the Empire and stopped gathering information, giving her full energy to her life.

Like the Federation, this is an empire where simple force is the best indicator.

Dorian, who had been collecting various information with Jane in order to cross over to the Empire in the past.

I know how high the position of platinum, which is the same position as Urus, which I only heard about by rumor, is.

Platinum’s place in this land is remote.

If you actually encounter a person with such transcendental power or force, it’s best to keep your eyes down and avoid them so you don’t get involved.

One.

What was this knowledge of survival?

When Alice’s short abbreviation was over, there was only one thing Dorian had to do as her parent.

“Adventurer… Thank you! Thank you so much for saving my daughter…!”

“Me too, thank you!”

With Dorian, who folds his huge body again.

Seeing that, Alice bowed her head together, and Roman scratched her head.

“I’m going to say the same thing as before… But I didn’t do it with great good intentions. It was just that Alice happened to be at the place I stopped by. It wasn’t a rescue request.”

The person who saved me said it as if it was nothing.

Edelman’s wife and daughter know how lucky it is to meet such a person in a moment of crisis.

“We’ve received enough thanks, so let’s go now. We came here to get some fresh air.”

“…If it’s not rude to Roman-sama, I’d like to guide you and entertain you myself. Is that okay?”

In front of Platinum, this posture is minimal.

Even though Dorian feels that Roman, who has a position that does not need to bend in the empire and respects him, is too heterogeneous.

Most nobles and those with powers don’t mind having subordinates join them to show dignity.

I couldn’t help but tell the story out of courtesy.

But Roman didn’t even think about it, and as soon as Dorian’s words were finished, he refused.

“I’m sorry, but the two of us came here to play after splitting our time. I’ll take your heart.”

“Brother. Hold on.”

Rike gently pulled Roman’s shirt, who refused Dorian’s offer with a single knife.

“Huh?”

“I’m sorry. Please wait for the two of you.”

As Rike laughed and asked her forgiveness from her dragon father and daughter, he pulled Roman’s hand.

Roman was led into a narrow alley by Rike without resistance.

“Seeing that you call me Alice. Is that the adventurer that he said he would take as a disciple?”

“It’s hard to believe, but… That’s right. The empire was so small.”

Roman, too, seemed quite surprised by the situation, and his finger pointed to the scar on his chin. When she saw her lover’s habits, Rike grinned and brought up the fact that she had been hiding.

“Brother. Have you ever met and talked to that Alice?”

“···Where?”

Seeing Roman’s eyes widen in surprise, Rike smiled and embraced her.

“We just ran into each other. Long before my brother started talking about his pupil. I don’t know Chloe’s name, but maybe I know her face?”

“…”

There is no assumption in the first place that what Rike said was a lie.

But with my poor imagination, I can’t draw a picture in my head even after hearing those words.

It’s a situation that can’t be said to be impossible as long as you’re in the capital… Is it probabilistically possible that the areas in which you are active are different?

I don’t think it’s lower than the probability of thunder hitting the same spot in a row.

“The previous meeting ended with a very short conversation. I want to see someone who will go under my brother right now, is it okay?”

“Umm… I don’t intend to teach in depth.”

“But you have to learn something first.”

“Yes.”

“It’s just enough time for a cup of tea. And you can ask for food or something to see here, right? It’s not wasting time, but rather saving it, isn’t it?”

Ricke’s eye for seeing people would not be lacking even if he were the best in the world.

What if you see Alice here and admit that Rike has a good mind and relieve your worries?

‘I’m going to have a good time with Eclair and Chloe.’

When Roman and Rike came out of the alley, the father and daughter cut off the conversation they were having.

“May I ask Alice for guidance from Edelman?”

“…”

Dorian hesitated for a moment to answer at Roman’s words of choosing Alice by hand.

Alice immediately took a step forward and bowed her head, holding her Tero in her arms.

“It is an honour···!!”

She couldn’t say anything because she was in front of a man of such an absurd height, but she stuck to her expressionless expression.

Dorian, who could not completely erase the trembling in her eyes, smiled slightly at the happy father-daughter relationship.

“You don’t have to worry too much. She intends to have a cup of tea after being guided by Alice, who has a one-sided expression.”

“I’m sorry. To show such foolish insolence to a benefactor…”

“It’s okay.”

She pats him on the shoulder, who turns pale at the thought that he has read disrespectful feelings for Platinum.

Only then did Dorian’s eyes completely erase the shy look.

“I hope you have a good time.”

He backed off after several times asking Alice to guide her guests properly.

Rike, who confirmed that Dorian’s large size was disappearing, opened her mouth first.

“Alice, if there is a good cafe, could you guide me?”

“Mu, of course! Also, it’s okay to talk comfortably…!”

Startled by Rike’s words, Alice lowered her head and took the lead in moving her steps.

Roman and Ricke, who suddenly met here, must have been surprised.

But Alice’s head was more complicated than that.

No, it was very difficult now.

‘Ka, cafe? What should I do…?’

Alice, who has been ostracized by women of a similar age in Edelman because she is of mixed race, has no experience of going to a proper cafe outside of the capital.

When it comes to cafes in her hometown, I only remember looking at her price tag, finding a cheap place, and buying a cold drink…

She searched her head quickly to find a café suitable for a noble lady.

Alice set her course, with a plan to head to the center, where her shops were concentrated.

That buck that buck

As she walks in front of her without looking behind her, the sound of a conversation full of laughter comes over and catches her ears.

– Siik! See it!

Tero turned her body over her head and looked behind her, and Alice was also curious about the situation.

‘…Are you married?’

Even if the title is ambiguous, looking at the heart-pounding atmosphere, we arrive at a reasonable conclusion.

I had thought of Roman as more polite and gentle than other men, but it was amazing to see her treat a woman like that with her kind words and actions.

In this way, if the mansion at that time belonged to Roman, who was platinum, there would be no sense of difference.

Shouldn’t the other beautiful woman inside be considered his wife?

‘···.’

What the hell are you

I’m imagining it, so I feel like my taste buds are bitter, but I also feel like my stomach is aching.

It was hard to define because it was the first time I felt it in my life.

Alice felt her nose tingle so strangely that she licked her lower lip! She bit and swallowed her feelings.

“This is going to be a bit difficult. Will the store do it?”

“···Yes?”

“No. Let’s go.”

As Roman muttered her words, Alice moved her feet again and headed towards Edelman’s center.

As she got closer, she could feel the strangeness that had happened to Edelman.
