Chapter 128 – The Beginning of the Celebration and the Wind (8)
“This way. Let me guide you.”
Ttubuck skipped the whole process of parking the carriage and went into the mansion. I thought she was having a barbecue party in the garden like an American celebrity, but the party seems to be indoors.
─Durundurun.
In the party hall, there were snacks and food that didn’t matter if it cooled down, and people who came early were talking.
Before the ceremony, I saw an adventurer who was already drunk and laughing. Wow, I shouldn’t be doing that.
Still, other guests are wearing or putting flowers on their chests. I also put a blue flower that I bought with money into my chest.
“Sun~ship~♥!”
It was a heart-pounding voice that could not be mistaken no matter where you heard it. Lalilura, wearing a red dress, approached with quick steps. I put on a fucking serious face and greeted politely.
“Ah. Excuse me for this. I thought it was someone I knew just by hearing the voice, but it was someone I hadn’t seen before.”
“Wow? You look very sophisticated~☆?”
“Haha. I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
I apologized to Lari Lura, who glared at her as if pouting.
However, Lari Lura went well with her red-toned dress to the extent that her jokes were semi-automatically fired in three bursts.
Her off-the-shoulder dress was decorated with see-through frills without any strange decorations, which made Lalila’s pretty bare face stand out. That guy seems to like plain clothes other than clown clothes.
“It’s a joke. I didn’t know for a moment It suits you well, Lalilura.”
“Whoops. Seniors are cool too. Why don’t you wear a tailcoat instead?”
“The cloak is heavy, so I’ll decline. By the way, you also have all the pins on your chest. Does that mean anything?”
I pointed to the white flowers on Lari Lura’s dress. Is wearing a pin in the chest the dress code for a party?
“If a man brings flowers to a party, it means he has a woman to give them to, and if a woman puts flowers on it, it means that he has someone who owns them.”
Lalilura informed me of what I was curious about.
No, but there was such a fucking culture? I would have been fucked if I hadn’t stopped by the flower shop. My heart sank, but I sighed in relief.
“I did. Thanks for letting me know. But weren’t you a mother-in-law?”
“Are you Mosol?”
“Solo. I’ve been single ever since I was born.”
“… Aha♡! 0 or 1, it’s not there, right? My senior wouldn’t be in the position to make fun of me~?”
Lari Lura tried to counterattack by hiding her expression, but she struggled for nothing.
In the study of mathematics, there is a big difference between 0 and 1. Knowing that well, I didn’t do any damage.
Limited characters that have been picked up in Pongame have a 0% chance of appearing. It is impossible to obtain even if you spend hundreds of millions of won. Like this, 1% and 0% were the difference between heaven and earth.
“I see. Do you know your ex-boyfriend? Alas, our juniors had no history of having boyfriends.”
“Wow! Senpai, I’m going to add a bunch of spicy spices to the meal later, so look forward to it♡?”
“Keuk. Try it.”
To bet a 21st-century Korean trained on bio-capsaicin to compete in spicy taste. I giggled and looked around the party.
“By the way, what about Fran?”
“Hey you in the waiting room saying it’s embarrassing to have eyes on you~.”
Oh right. My girlfriend was an introvert. When he was with me, he had a lot of aegyo, so I forgot about it.
“I thought I’d stay by your side, but he asked me to tell the story to my senior, so I came out alone.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Fran must have shrunk like a wet hamster. Even me, my heart aches. Then Lari Lura said, twisting her hair with her fingers.
“Senior? It’s fine until her sister comes over, so will she stay with me for a while? It’s difficult because there are men who have been talking to me since before.”
“Did you put flowers on it?”
“Everyone seems to be an adventurer, so they don’t know.”
“Ah, it was true.”
Other adventurers, like me, did the flowers they ordered, but they didn’t seem to know the details.
“Great. There were things I wanted to say anyway.”
“… What do you want to say?”
─It flinched. Lalilura had an earthquake in her pupils for about three seconds. Worried that he might be misunderstanding something, I tried to speak quickly, but Lalilura smiled before him.
“What is it? Are you thinking of picking up a second wife while you’re away from Fran? But, to say that I use my spare time like that, my heart isn’t cheap enough to be sold for lightly hanging feather-like work in my spare time~?”
“It climbs again. Didn’t you think you didn’t get hit recently?”
“Ah~ Don’t be pretentious~♡”
-Wack! When I tried to blow the night away, Lalilura quickly dodged and took her tongue out a few steps back.
“What, good? I’m a lovely junior who will do all requests with a smile!”
Then he puts his hands behind her back and runs his fingers across her cheeks. She was the gesture of someone who knows how to make her look cute.
“Oh. Still, please refrain from asking me to fall in love with you~★? I don’t know love yet, so I’m embarrassed to be asked!”
“Don’t mess around and get a boyfriend.”
“Wow! I’m really annoyed☆!”
She passed the time talking until the celebration began. It was quite fun for her to pick up snacks and chat after the conversation.
“Nord. Please come this way.”
An hour before the ceremony started, the butler called me.
It was a ceremony called a celebration, so it was intended to be rehearsed in advance. Even though I had been called in and practiced for 3 or 4 hours every day for the past few days.
“Yes. I’ll be there soon. Lalilula. I will come.”
“Yes. Show me your cool side~?”
─It’s all over the place.
I followed the butler and entered a small room. Edlin, Cromwell, and the captain of the guards were dressed up and waiting.
“Okay then, let’s do the exercise we did last time again from the beginning.”
After lightly greeting each other, we adjusted our movements according to the butler’s words.
Nothing difficult. Even the lord doesn’t expect anything difficult from an adventurer. When I was a corporal, I went in front of the regimental commander and received a commendation.
And the time has come.
“Joteru von Hennessis Lord!! You are in the position!!”
5pm. The celebration started at a good time to show off the lanterns or candles in the party hall.
– Chuck.
The guests stopped talking and became polite. I bit my lip as well, desperately holding back a burst of laughter in the gap between Lord Sargadis’ stern face and gorgeous name.
“Guests, raise your head.”
It was a natural anti-respect. It’s not a bad feeling. It would be difficult for the lord to treat us with respectful words.
─Such.
When I look up, I see the Yeongju family. The lord, his wife, and the young lady, dressed in dazzling fantasy-style clothes, took their seats.
“This time, I have called you here to praise you for protecting Sargadis from the warlock and his golems who threatened my domain.”
Yeongju said that while looking down at the party hall, which had become so quiet that you could hear the breathing of the people next to you. The butler called his name from below.
“Guard Captain Godwin Isdley. Edlin Daymary, the Sargadis branch manager of the Gylfi Guild. Sorcerer Buzzrude Cromwell of the Mages Guild. And the Nord of Audumla Guild is forward.”
I feel like my title is very weak because I am lined up and called by name. I’m also a fucking master’s master!
After chattering in my mouth and relaxing, I went to the lord according to the set movements. There were no mistakes because I was suddenly chosen as the representative and had the opportunity to practice several times.
“First of all, my faithful confidant, the captain of the guard. You collaborated with the adventurers on my behalf and devised a great strategy. To thank you for your hard work, I have prepared three months’ worth of green wages and a small present.”
“Yes! I am grateful to the lord for his harmless consideration!”
The captain of the guard in a simple suit knelt down.
“Edlin Daymary, the head of the Gylfi Guild no less than him. And Buzzrude Cromwell, the Sorcerer of the Mages Guild. I will personally pay my respects to your performance.”
“”It is an honor, my lord.””
─Chuck! The two of them chanted the same words and knelt down.
We just need to say yes, yes, yes, yes, yes and no.
“You have cut off the danger by defeating the golem army that the warlock had amassed. This is to protect the safety of my territory in a small way, and to protect the people of the country in a big way. In gratitude for this, I have prepared a reward of 1 gold and a small gift.”
“”Yes. I am grateful to the lord for his harmless consideration.”
Unlike the captain of the guard, who was directly subordinate to the lord, it was a stark thank you.
Each of those people was in charge of the guild master of their own guild, so it was a compromise between politeness and obedience.
‘But they only give me 1 fucking gold.’
1 gold. 100 silver. 10000 coopers.
An amount equivalent to about 100 million won according to the Norse exchange rate!
It’s not a small amount of money, but compared to the money I got from robbing the circus the other day, it felt like a pittance. This is why people don’t want to be civil servants.
“And finally, Nord, the adventurer of the Audumla Guild.”
Yep!! I was about to answer.
Be afraid of bitterness. As I stood upright and waited for the horse, the mustachioed lord said.
“I was impressed by your performance. With your keen judgment, you gave these people direction and destroyed the giant golem controlled by the warlock.”
Det?
No fuck, that comment wasn’t in the rehearsal?
In the script I heard, I had to go straight to praise here. I immediately responded while receiving mental damage from that ad lib.
“No. Unfortunately, I couldn’t attend this event, but I think it was thanks to the comrades who fought together.”
“Don’t be humble. They say you were the one who cut the warlock’s neck yourself. I am relieved that an outstanding hero is staying in our territory.”
He gained enlightenment from the lord’s praise. Aigo fuck. When I asked why that old man with the mustache was doing that, it was because I was the only one who was vague about his affiliation.
The other three are branch managers, so they would be here if I left them alone, but I’m not. That’s why I tried to lift me up even if the other three people’s performance was slightly faded.
‘Actually, in terms of major, I’m second only to Nefertiti.’
Even if the lord said just that, other guilds invited to the banquet would try to connect with me, and then I would be a loss if I left here.
If you leave the connections you made in the city and go somewhere else, wouldn’t it be RE: Searching for sponsors starting from zero?
“It is an honor, my lord.”
Thinking that far, I just bowed 90 degrees. I know it well, so it means to be quiet.
“Thank you very much for your performance. But wouldn’t it be difficult to keep paying the bounty all at once?”
“That’s right. Thank you for your understanding.”
There’s a bank, so it’s not a big deal, but that’s what I said. Because it was agreed upon in advance.
“So I showed my sincerity, albeit in a small way. Butler.”
“Yes!”
─Tumble. The butler handed me a present, just like during the rehearsal. It was a small metal brooch and certificate.
Opening the box, the butler said,
“This is a certificate of tax exemption while staying in Sargadis for the next three years. The bounty is also paid in the form of an annuity of 3 silver every month.”
“It is an honour.”
Get on your knees here and bow your head. The point is to ignore the head butler and head towards the lord.
‘3 times 36 is 108. 1 gold 8 silver.’
It’s not my intention to become an annuity to get 8 more silver for my daughter, but I chose this because I was tempted by the fact that I don’t pay taxes.
My home town is Sargadis for the time being anyway.
“In addition to these representatives, many adventurers fought for Sargadis.”
Yeongju finished his work and stood up from his chair.
“There will be a reward for you too, so please enjoy the celebration today.”
“””Yes!”””
Adventurers seeing off their lord with a chorus.
After such a suffocating congratulations ceremony, I regained my freedom.
I turn my high heels 180 degrees and dodge Edlyn, who is approaching me, and Cromwell, who is trotting with his robe fluttering.
Damn, I don’t want to see your faces until here. I hope you all work together and run all the way to the 2nd and 3rd.
─Meadak!
Franc! I miss Fran!
My Lovely Angel who will heal my cookie das mentality is here! While moving between the invited guests, he found Ralilura.
─Such.
I was about to go there, relieved, but Lalilura smiled and pointed the other way from her. I turned her head in the direction of her fingers, like her chubby dick, and I found it.
“Hey hey hey…”
My girlfriend was there. Holding the see-through camisole as if it were the last breakwater.
‘Goddam.’
I looked at the dress and my feet were as hard as nails. It was because it was an unconventional outfit that was hard to imagine for the usual Fran.
It was a black dress with a deep cleavage at the cleavage and side breasts.
There is no fabric at all on the back up to the waist. It’s a place that even Hollywood female actors would have a hard time digesting, but it suited Franc insanely well.
Even the camisole that was covered up is white and see-through, so it feels like it only adds to the sexiness.
“——Ah! Nor!”
Fran, who found me then, smiled broadly like a sunflower bathed in the morning sun. Her joy, as if her anxiety had disappeared, was reminiscent of her lost dog who met its owner after a month.
─Foot.
‘Oh, it’s easy, you’re crazy.’
I cam down Pavlov’s Zugiconda. I admit that our fran dress is a joke, but it will give me the nickname of the party hall full-strength man.
-Width. Frank ran over and hugged me. Body temperature is warm I would like to have a franc boiler in my hometown as well.
“Whoops! Nor! It was so cool to say hello to the lord! That outfit suits you so well!”
“Fran, are you the only one? It’s a shame to show it to others.”
He patted Fran with his black hair. It’s something I do every day in bed, but it was very sensational today that my back was bare.
“Yes. I couldn’t even imagine other people because I was only thinking about showing Nord… What if I die of shame?”
Fran said shyly hiding under my cloak. That’s not trouble If Fran died, the goal of my life would take a sharp turn from the development of dimension movement to the development of the previous life.
“Stay still.”
─Flutter!
I took off my cloak and covered Fran’s clothes. Overpacking ON. Only I will see this.
“Ah, roses are pretty. Where did you get it from?”
Fran, wrapped in the cloak of a Knight of the Round Table, found a rose in my pocket and asked. Come to think of it, Fran did not put any flowers.
Didn’t Larry Lura tell her? She seems like a smart guy.
“I bought it on the way home. Hehe. As long as it suits your taste, I won’t fall short anywhere.”
“Ah, that’s an overestimate.”
After saying that, Fran grabbed the hem of her cloak and asked shyly.
“Therefore… Nor? Will you escort me?”
“Yes, My Lady.”
He leaned over and kissed the back of her hand. Even in another world, this kind of culture was similar to Earth. Fran laughed with her blushing face.
“Puhh. Are you setting the mood? That’s cool.”
“It should be nice. Who is the man?”
She put her hand around Fran’s shoulder and said that, turning away. Then, those who grasped the atmosphere began to approach.
─Tumble.
─Meadadadak!
“Hello Mr. Nord. I am Phelps, the representative of Langnor Firm, but—”
“It is fate that we met like this. Nord-san, do you know anything about ore mining——”
A torrent of good-looking people seduced me and Fran!
High-ranking adventurers are useful for escorting, gathering, and exclusive employment. This is all the more so since adventurers with better skills tend to beat adventurers.
That’s why they tried to spit on me from when I was still young.
Beutak, a hermit master who was praised side by side with the city’s major powers! It is literally a honey item like Bitcoin before the virtual currency surge.
‘I won’t even be able to eat the party food if I deal with them all.’
I held back a sigh and dealt with them.
