Episode 658 Wins Their Heart (2)
Ale, who found them belatedly, put away the wooden sword that had been tilted.
“I didn’t even know you had a guest here.”
“It’s been a while, branch manager.”
“yes. How have you been?”
Upon receiving their greetings, the branch manager took out the letter that had been folded in his arms.
“It’s not different, I came here today because I have work. This is a letter from the sophomore.”
Let’s spread the luxurious material paper.
There was a message written there that Taesangdanju wanted to check because there was a slave he was looking for.
‘There must be no doubt that the slave you are looking for is that child. Otherwise, there would be no reason for the Black Room to guard it.’
Noticing Miyeon, Lacia nodded her head willingly.
“great.”
After accepting it so simply, the branch manager became curious about his intention.
Even if it wasn’t so, her skills in summoning monsters before were unusual.
‘It’s magic that causes reactions to monsters.’
She was the one who made most of the monsters in the mountain range go wild in an instant.
Although he was not very knowledgeable in magic, he had never seen or heard of such magic.
Therefore, the borderline became even deeper.
“Ehte.”
A little girl jumped out of the door at the low sound of Lacia’s call.
“…yes.”
“Follow this man. I’m sure he’ll arrange a place for you.” “But…”
“You don’t have to be afraid. Aren’t they bad people?”
As she spoke, she handed something.
small sachet.
Ete accepted the scarlet sachet with an incomprehensible writing on it and asked cautiously.
“what is this……?”
“It’s a talisman. It can be dangerous if touched by mistake, so keep it in the innermost pocket.”
I wrapped the amulet a couple of times with a leather pad to see if that wasn’t enough.
The sachet, from which the good incense flowed, was completely sealed.
Ete clenched the amulet with her small hands and bowed her head.
“thank you. I… It was a short time, but I was happy.”
“What kind of greeting do you say? Whoever hears it will know that I am going to die.”
It’s like don’t worry.
Lacia gently ran a hand through Ete’s hair.
“When you arrive, the most trustworthy person in the world will be waiting for you. Only good things will happen, so stop worrying in vain.”
Did she cheer up at the first kind words that came out of her mouth?
Ete’s expression became brighter than before.
“yes. I will definitely repay the favor you saved me someday.”
“The child is not saying that. Still… if you want to pay it back, I’ll look forward to it.”
How can a gentle smile be so beautiful?
After staring at Lacia for a while, Ete hurriedly turned her head and nodded again.
As the wagon on the upper level started carrying Ete, Lacia watched until Ete’s figure disappeared.
“Are you lonely?”
“It can’t be. When there is a meeting, there is a parting.”
“Even if you say that with tears in your eyes, there is no credibility.”
“…It’s because the weather is bad.”
Turn your head with a grumpy face.
Ale grinned and tousled Lacia’s hair.
“What are you doing!”
“Sometimes there are cute corners!”
“yes? Where the hell are you going…”
As she tried to protest, Ale tapped her on the shoulder and said.
“It’s good to pretend to be strong, but a person who can reveal the weak part is a truly strong person. I don’t know what you want for yourself, but be someone who can understand weakness.”
At those words, Lacia shut her mouth.
Sometimes he says something nice, but it fits oddly.
just as expected.
Sein, who was next to him, covered his mouth and blushed.
“…it’s awesome.”
“ha ha ha. I just need you to know.”
“yes? You too…”
The two went inside, spilling sesame seeds.
Left alone in the yard, Lacia let out a small sigh and muttered.
“…That way, a little brother might be born sooner or later.”

I got a call from Hafman that he found the girl he was looking for.
Ray went straight to Celia Kingdom on that road.
“It won’t take long, so this should be enough food.”
Although it is said to be between one kingdom, it is the country right next to it.
It’s easy to eat a meal or something dry.
Feeling good at the thought that things would go smoothly, he climbed the mountain humming a song.
Could it be because the goblins paved the way?
Even though they were crossing the mountain range openly, the monsters did not even show their noses.
At this level, it is enough to trim the ground and make an upward path.
“Except for the barren soil, it’s a great place to live.”
He licked his lips as he looked at the place that was so wasteland that he couldn’t even speak.
After crossing the border of Celia and walking for half a day, houses gradually appeared one by one.
Passing through a small village, he took a shortcut that only he knew, and soon he could see Celia’s castle in the distance.
“How come time doesn’t change anything here.”
Ray, who visited after only a few months, complained.
As I climbed along the polished road, I began to see the top of Halfman beyond the large buildings.
Hana Ray passed the original upper building and walked back down the street.
Hafman said that the guild was originally full of people, so he asked me to go to the branch.
Well, it can’t be helped that the crowds are crowded like the top of the continent.
In addition, in the conflict between his territory and Silia, even the upper half of the halfman shouted for a halt to trade in goods.
There were not a few people who came to question the vicious public sentiment.
Reluctantly, Ray visited the branch built on the outskirts.
Ray approached the guard, wondering if he mistook the Assassin Guild or the Information Guild for a moment at the insidious momentum felt from the entrance.
“Stop. What are you doing?”
Two vigilant guards stopped them.
“Halfman sent me.”
“Halfman?”
After looking at each other for a moment, they shook their heads without saying who came first.
“I’m sorry, but there is no one called Hafman here. There seems to be a mistake, please check again.”
It is an obvious congratulatory order.
However, the starving Ray, who had been eating only dry food, was persistent.
“To not know halfman at the top of halfman! There must be!”
“Ugh! You didn’t say no! Go back quickly!”
When the guard slams the spear pole on the ground, there is a thump and a cloud of dust forms.
it’s quite a skill
There’s nothing you can’t do if you want to force it in.
However, since the one who requested the request was the first branch he had visited, he blinked his eyes, wondering if it was their own way.
“Do you know who I am?”
“I don’t even want to know!”
The words left me speechless.
Her appearance is quite well-known among the upper class of Hafman.
I thought I would have known if I had said this much, but I can’t believe I didn’t know.
It was a failure that I didn’t bring the proof plate because I thought the person at the top would know.
In the end, Ray gave up.
“I just came to get what I was asked for! I’ll take that and go back!”
But there is no way.
The guards only raise their spears and point them at them.
When I called, Ray, who was in a cold situation, withdrew with a grunt.
“Halfman you money bug! I bet you didn’t even say anything!”
In an unexpected situation, only anger towards Harpman accumulated.
The small merchants had a hard time seeing the single liquor of the other large groups, and there was a reason for that.
Ray had no choice but to leave the branch and go to the head office at the upper level.
As he stepped forward while watching the long line, he was caught by new members he had never seen before.
“You’re openly cutting in the line! What are you doing?”
“No, I…”
“None of these people are in a hurry, so go back!”
I tried to refute it, but after hearing it, I couldn’t think of anything else to refute because it was true.
In the end, Ray stood at the end of the line with nothing but anger.
how long the line is
It was only after all night chewing beef jerky to soothe the tiredness that the morning dawned and we were able to reach the entrance to the top.
Passing through the front gate, where the new member had been looking at with lights on, and arriving at the entrance, a person who recognized him jumped out in amazement.
“No, Lord Taesangdan! Why are you standing in line here?”
“I just need to watch the harp. Where are you now?”
It must be unusual to hear a voice full of indescribable hatred.
Sensing the seriousness of the task, the member hurriedly replied.
“I am in the office. Yesterday and yesterday, Taesangdanju is waiting for you to come.”
Aww.
You mean he was counting gold coins while he was out in the cold all night?
I really need to catch up today.
Ray proudly walked down the hallway and kicked open the office door.
Sure enough, halfman, who counted the gold coins one by one, greeted them warmly.
“Lord Taesangdan! I was waiting for you!”
“Yes, half-man you bastard! Nice to meet you too!”
He appeared much later than expected, and Harpman suddenly tilted his head and asked.
“But you must have contacted me two days ago, but why are you coming now?”
“I have been standing in line outside. Thanks to that, I could clearly see how the top was working.”
It must be that the number of visitors to the upper ranks does not decrease thanks to the new members trembling and aligning themselves.
On the other hand, it made me feel bad to see this pig-like guy called the boss warmly living inside.
Ray strode over and picked up what could be a weapon.
Halfman, belatedly realizing that the situation was not serious, said in a panic.
“What are you doing? As a reminder, I didn’t do anything!”
“Heh heh. know. You’re right by doing nothing.”
Rey, who pulled out a sword hanging from the wall and discarded the sword, clenched only the scabbard, smiling more brightly than ever.
Just the thought of longing for a harp overnight made the cold go away.
Now that it had become a reality, he was so happy that he had nothing to wish for.
“Let’s not do this to our players. How many will you get right?”
Was there anything that caught you after hearing that?
Halfman laughed bashfully.
“I think I forgot to contact you because I was busy with work.”
Are you busy?
Sitting on a chair and counting gold coins could be said to be a kind of work.
His last words were rather a handshake.
A shadow fell on Hafman’s face as he kept making excuses.
