"Oh, really?"

"Mmm."

"Wow, Fran."

We were coming to the Lords' Hall.

Well, it's the princes, not the lords, who meet.

The princes are getting ready to return to the country so that we can travel to Urmut. The day after tomorrow, he said he would board the ship.

"Did you see the monster?

"Mi."

"Did you fight?

"I just knocked him out."

"Awesome! Awesome to Fran Real!

We are also in the midst of a tea party with the children of the former slaves we became friends with.

When I served him curry bread, he was very happy.

"Hey Fran won't come with me?

It was one of the boys who asked.

But Fran shakes his head to the side.

"We've decided where to go."

"Is that okay? Change your destination. Let's serve the prince together."

"I have to go"

"'Cause I knew him because of you"

"Yes, I am."

"Don't say too much about Fran, Fran has convenience too"

"That's right. And it's not like this is a lifetime goodbye."

Furt and Satya deceived the children.

"Besides, we want Fran to follow us the same way. I also thought about sending out a request for an escort."

"Or have them serve you in exchange for a high reward"

"If so."

"No. Don't use your position as a prince."

Prince Furt blocks the child's words and shakes his head.

"'Cause then you can't call me a reciprocal friend, can you?

"We want to be equal friends with Fran."

You were convinced of the princes' words, the children came with nothing more to say.

The look on Fran's face doesn't change, but I can see he's happy. My ears are tingling.

But the children seemed to feel scolded, and an awkward air flowed through the place. But that's the work of the year. It wasn't long before Cerido, who showed up with tea treats, raised the scene by showcasing the failed stories of the children who had begun to receive a squire education.

How long would you have been bickering? By the time I realized it, the sun was tilting.

Celid appears again.

"I apologize for the welcome. It's time to meet with the deputy."

"Is it that time already?"

"Fun times pass so fast."

I won't tell you to keep us both waiting or anything. I guess that means no personal affection for my duty as royalty. That's splendid.

"I'm very sorry, but I have to be rude here. I'm so sorry."

"Fran still has tea here. There's still tea and sweets left."

"No, Lord Fran has a messenger."

"The messenger?"

"My name is the messenger, and you are the master of the Adventurer Alliance. My lord, I thought you were in a meeting with the deputy, but I heard Lord Fran is here."

What can I do for you? I went to the guild this morning. In the meantime, shall we meet?

It was a room in the Lords' Hall that was taken to the servant.

"Hey, Miss Fran!

It was the dwarf of the muscle Mukimuki who was there. I fought with Linford, that guild master.

"I'm sorry I called you."

"I don't mind."

"Hear it's time to leave town. I wanted to see you once before that. I'm too busy with ex-post processing to get the time inside. I heard you were coming to this mansion, and I rented a room because I was a little overwhelmed. Well, let me thank you again. Thanks to your lady, the town has been saved."

When Gumd got up off the couch, he said so and bowed his head deeply.

"There's nothing else to save. I was more likely to lose to Linford, and I was saved."

"The guy who can beat that giant one-on-one is about Falund or Amanda. Still, the lady hooked me up with him and stopped me. Without that, there would have been tremendous damage. So let me say it again. Thanks."

"... n"

"Ha. Well, remember, I appreciate it."

Fran has a complex face mixed with remorse and joy. A little bit of remorse?

Well, I'm pretty sure you lost to Linford. Even when I remember that time, I still regret it.

"So, here's the real deal, I heard you wanted the Demon Stone?

"I want"

"Right...... You're going to Urmut next?

"Mmm."

"But it's hard to get demon stones, even in Urmut?

"Really?

"Oh, this is Kranzel's second city, even if it rots. Most of the surplus demon stones gather from nearby cities. Not in Barbora means not even in the surrounding cities. Naturally for Urmut, too. There are a lot of demon stones out there, but most of them go to Barbora."

Seriously. But you do. The adventurers of this city are not the only ones who can conquer all the demonic stones of this big city.

So is it difficult to buy demon stones even in Urmut?

When we're roaring, Gumd takes something out of his nostalgia.

"There it is."

A letter? That's some folded paper.

"This is an auction reference in Wang Du."

"Auction?

"Around June of each year, there will be a big auction in Wang Capital. It's hard for the average person to participate, but with this, you can participate on either the selling side or the buying side, right? Show me this in the guild of the king's capital and you'll be ready."

"Are you sure?

"Oops. It's not like I'd have to participate if I had that. Join me if you feel like it. Auctions don't just have magic stones, they have all sorts of digs."

You got a good one. What an awesome auction for Wang Du.

"Mm-hmm. Okay. Thank you."

"Oops. I'm glad you're happy."

We haven't even reached Urmut yet, but we've decided on Urmut's next destination.
