[Episode 45]
“…what is this?”
“It’s a car that dulls the senses a little bit. It is not addictive and can be viewed as a harmless sedative.”
“… Puck too.”
“Even if it is said that it has become so blurred that you can forget the history as time passes, you must have a keen sense since it is mixed with elven blood.”
His purple eyes shone brightly even in the dark.
The opponent did not even move even though the flesh that heated his skin tinglingly touched him.
“How do you know that?”
“The name is Information Guild. You can see that there is almost nothing I don’t know about.”
“what…?”
“Ah, there are also some portraits and pictures of the Duchess Colin as a child…”
He snapped his fingers and someone brought a file into his hand.
He flicked through the files and opened one page wide.
There were several photos of a girl with a lovely expression smiling broadly and several childhood portraits.
“100 million roast.”
Duke Colin was now certain of one thing.
The certainty that this man would be smiling broadly under the mask now.
“…”
“For reference, this is the only one because we don’t keep copies other than the original.”
Duke Colin, who had been examining it for a long time with his chin resting, opened his mouth with a serious face.
“…body.”
“As expected, you are the dearest Duke Colin. Thank you for the great purchase.”
He said as he folded the file.
“So what about the second?”
“I want to find the child.”
“kid? What child are you talking about? I don’t think a duke who successfully married his first love would have an illegitimate child.”
“I am a prisoner child named Eirin.”
The hand of the man in the robe suddenly stopped.
“Eirin…”
“Yes, she is a lizard beast and is still a young adult. It’s a girl, she’s about this tall, and her hair is pink. The scales seemed to be silver.”
Duke Colin continued his explanation while pointing his hand at the level of his chest when he was sitting.
“Also, there is a chance of being in a bad place because you couldn’t properly capture the magical powers unique to beastmen. The last place I found the trace was an underground auction.”
“I see…”
Duke Colin’s eyebrows furrowed. It was because the opponent’s reaction was sluggish.
“Is it difficult?”
“It can’t be.”
A voice mingled with laughter returned.
“Then we will proceed as is. As soon as I find out, I will send someone.”
“i get it. How much?”
“…”
The other person was silent for a moment incomprehensibly and quietly, then slowly opened his mouth.
“10 billion.”
“…what?”
“It’s a billion roast. Of course, the price includes the portrait you purchased earlier.”
“…There is no gourd like this.”
“We provide the best service possible by comprehensively considering the difficulty of the mission and the financial situation of the client. Isn’t 1 billion a lot of money for the duke?”
Duke Colin pondered for a moment.
He was willing to pay 1 billion if he could trade it for a comfortable night.
‘Besides, I have to find the child.’
Right now, there was no other option than Myeongwol to find a child.
“I do not tolerate failure.”
“Of course, we will do our best to produce satisfactory results.”
“The money will be sent by personal account sooner or later.”
A man wearing a robe bent over him as if to see him off.
“This way.”
The moment Duke Colin followed the clerk out of the door, the scenery changed again.
It was the first bar he visited.
“Thank you for visiting, customer.”
With the natural greetings of the clerk, Duke Colin returned home.

“It’s frustrating. It’s so hard to pretend to be the captain.”
The mysterious man who was pretending to be the guild leader of Myeongwol, who was wearing a robe, threw off his mask and robe.
“But isn’t 1 billion overpriced, even if it’s a duke, sir?”
“It’s too much. You just paid the right price, right? The other person also said okay, so that’s all.”
A ferocious voice giggled, biting into something, and answered.
“You’ve already received three of the same requests, right? Do you know who that Eirin is?”
“Well, I’m not sure about the money line. It’s a problem because they blocked my money line.”
“The underground auction was a waste.”
“Oh, but… Edith.”
The figure slowly appeared on the chair in front of the desk where no one was there.
Just as a chameleon that has been hiding in the surrounding landscape slowly reveals itself.
“That damn lizard!”
Excited, he hit the desk with his fist.
“I just asked for information on where you are, so can I kill you? Can I kill you?! My playground, which I worked so hard for, is ruined because of that beast!”
“It’s not possible.”
“Then let’s just take two of the limbs, huh? That’s enough. Because I won’t take my life!”
Aide Edith shut her mouth tightly at the excited voice.
‘Your eyes are loose again.’
If that’s the case, you can’t actually dry it.
With a cruel temper, he was a very suitable person to be the guild leader of Myeongwol, but at times it was difficult to control.
“For now, we will proceed as planned.”
“Okay, let’s see how that face gets distorted. I really like reptiles.”
He smiled innocently and jumped up from his seat.
He approached the cabinet and opened the door, revealing a number of stuffed reptiles and animals inside.
On the back of the exhibited stuffed animals, one photo was placed. They were terrified and barely smiling beasts in human form.
“I’m really looking forward to being a silver lizard.”
“Please refrain from making it a collection.”
“Then find something similar.”
He grinned as he slowly swept the stuffed toy in the exhibition hall.
“I look forward to meeting you.”

“Eiriyin!”
The heroine who ran to me with a tearful face hugged me tightly. Unknowingly, I stumbled and sat down on the floor together.
“What’s your sister…?”
“I was surprised that he suddenly disappeared… That human… No, how angry my uncle was…”
I awkwardly laughed at the whimpering sound and patted the heroine on the back.
“Look at Unni, see Sipper.”
“Me too! me too! Me too!”
The female lead snorted excitedly and seriously agreed with my words.
“Ugh, I really think I’m going to live too much because you’re here after dealing only with old men.”
“uh…?”
Is this really the female lead?
Since we have already become very close to each other, shouldn’t we be in a playful state, saying ‘Heroine is the best~♥’?
‘I didn’t meet Richard or Lucillion until I was an adult…’
Most of the stories of my childhood were the flow of being swayed by the Duke’s family.
“Are those oh older brothers okay…?”
“Brother? Oh, the social misfit and the swordsman crazy guy stuck in the corner of that lab?”
“…uh?”
“Ha, I’m so different from the cute you… They were just annoying. If you don’t have a bit of cuteness… Haha, cute is the best.”
The heroine Charnett touched my cheek for a long time before standing up and extending her hand to me.
“I’m sorry, it was nice to meet you. It’s great to see you again.”
The heroine who raised me up held me tight in her arms.
“Thank you for coming back safely.”
“…huh.”
I laughed clumsily at that tickling greeting.
Before Sharnet broke the embrace, he whispered in his ear in a very, very small voice.
“Grandpa waited for you too.”
that’s kinda scary
It sounds like you were rushing.
“go for it!”
what is fighting
You make people anxious and run away like that.
Watching the heroine quickly walk away, I gulped and turned my head to look ahead.
Duke Mirel was looking at me with a firm expression.
“Oh, hello… Harabuji.”
let’s have a laugh
I awkwardly greeted him with a wide smile.
