-Rattle.

I heard the inn door opening.

The inn, which was noisy with people drinking and eating, became quiet.

As the atmosphere suddenly became quiet, my eyes naturally moved in that direction.

Three men wearing neat armor were standing at the entrance.

It was a knight.

These are people who do not fit in with this inn.

Well, there were people in front of me who didn’t suit me…

The chivalrous-chinned knight, who appears to be the leader, looks around and looks this way.

To be exact, I think I saw Hestia.

As expected, the knights came towards us.

“Lord Hestia.”

The leading knight with the chin called Grant bowed his head and greeted Hestia.

“Lord Grant. It’s been a while. What happened?”

Hestia, and he seemed to know each other well.

“The Little Lord invited Lord Hestia to the party.”

“You mean me? I…”

Hestia looks a little sorry to Grant

It seemed like he was trying to refuse.

“Oh, it’s not just Lord Hestia.”

Grant cut off Hestia’s refusal.

And those eyes turned to me.

“…?”

I felt puzzled by the behavior of the sloppy-chinned knight.

The sloppily-chinned guy’s gaze was quite arrogant, as if he was looking down on me. Naturally, I didn’t feel very good after receiving such attention.

It’s a fresh feeling I haven’t felt in a long time.

I had a subtle eyeball fight with my chin, with a sad look in my eyes that said I was in a bad mood.

“Tsk!”

Grant, who clicked his tongue, took something that looked like a scroll from the knight behind him and handed it to me and said.

“Know that it is an honor. Lord So invited you to the party too.”

“Me?”

The squiggly-chinned driver’s eyebrows twitch as if he doesn’t like my answer.

“Whew… That’s right.”

I didn’t like the arrogant attitude of the jutted chin that seemed to be holding back.

Out of character, I wanted to throw the invitation into the fireplace, but I exercised patience.

Here, I am a small meal.

I have a family of my own, but I can’t just live by my temperament.

“Okay.”

Having said that, I roughly placed the invitation on the table.

Grant’s breathing becomes heavier at my actions. But it seems like he is holding back.

Of course it wasn’t that I was scared, but it seemed like Hestia was paying attention.

Knights, who can be said to be semi-nobles, look down on mercenaries. It seemed quite annoying that I, such a lowly mercenary, showed such a mean attitude.

You might think that I show such a cocky attitude because I trust Hestia.

I think she would have said something if Hestia wasn’t there.

Of course, I wouldn’t have stayed still.

There was a high possibility that I wouldn’t have been able to stand it if this sloppy-chinned guy had been rude like this.

Maybe they drew their swords against each other.

Grant may not know.

Even though it’s like this, I’m putting up with it as much as I can and being polite.

To be honest, even in my current state, I was confident that I wouldn’t lose unless I was a Sword Master level player. I didn’t see any reason to bow down to someone weaker than me.

The problem is that if you knock down the arrogant knight with the chin, things become more complicated.

If something like that happens, shouldn’t we run away tonight?

‘I’m thankful to Hestia for today.’

She was acting as a seizure suppressant for the knights.

By the way… Hestia is a Holy Knight of Terraism, so even.

Why did you invite me to the party?

Is it because of Hestia?

Since she was eating her meal with her, it could be said that she invited me as a bonus… Looking at the fact that she even prepared an invitation separately, I should have guessed that she had my invitation in mind from the beginning.

Scandals about me and Hestia spread widely in the city.

Because I seem close to her?

There is a possibility.

Or… Scouts?

Since he has been making a name for himself as a skilled mercenary these days, he may have caught the attention of Youngju So.

Even the mercenary guild knows that I have the skills of a knight.

If that story had reached Youngju So’s ears, he would have coveted my skills.

So, they may be trying to invite you to a party and offer to recruit you.

You can become a knight even if you don’t go to the capital.

It is to be ordained a knight by a lord.

Nevertheless, the reason I chose to become a mercenary was because if I were to be ordained a knight by a lord, I would have to be employed by him for several years.

I was a ruler with four Great Devil Castles.

Even if that’s not the case, I don’t like working under anyone in the first place.

Because of that personality, even during his time as a hunter, he would go around alone.

A noble party…

It was annoying, and I didn’t want to go.

However, it is difficult to ignore it.

If it was the main body, I wouldn’t have paid any attention.

A person who might become the owner of this city is calling out to you, but you’re not going?

There was a possibility that the future life of a mercenary would become quite tiring.

Unless you’re going to leave this city right away, there’s nothing good about being photographed.

If you leave the city just because you don’t want to participate in the Little Lord’s party, there’s no way Hestia would understand.

Looking at the invitation, there was about a week left until the party.

Zephia, the capital of Zephiria.

Kaura entered a café called Lausanne in the city center. And she naturally took a quick look around the café.

A handsome man and a gorgeous woman.

And I found a table where two sons and one daughter with familiar faces, including a man who looked honest, were sitting.

A beautiful woman sitting there recognizes Kaura and waves her hand.
She was Claire, who could be said to be Cowra’s friend and Rebellion’s colleague.

Kaura naturally joined them.

“Welcome.”

Claire welcomed Cowra with her arms around her.

“It’s been a long time.”

Herman, a sturdy man whom I had not seen in a long time, also greeted me lightly.

I exchanged a quick glance with Cloud.

Cowra. Claire. Cloud. Hermann.

The four of them were executives leading Rebellion.

The implicit leader was the cloud, but on the surface the Net had a horizontal relationship.

As Kaura sat down, Cloud placed a round object on the table.

It was a device to prevent their words from leaking out.

The café also had soundproofing to protect privacy, but it was a very cautious cloud.

Cloud, who confirmed that the device was working, spoke first.

“I heard that a party with slaves is being held in Uki. That’s the target this time. Is there anyone who wants to participate in this?”

“I passed this time…”

“Isn’t Kaura going to go? I was expecting her to go with me this time… But it’s a shame.”

“Sorry. I have a schedule that day…”

When Herman felt regretful, Kaura apologized with an apologetic face.

“It’s not something to be sorry about.”

“Um… The participants in this rescue… Cowra can’t… And neither can I… Cloud and Herman, right? Herman. I’ll send you the detailed plan and schedule through the ‘link’.”

Claire said with a slight smile.

“Please.”

“Ah, Cowra. What happened to him?”

Cloud asked Cowra as if he just remembered something.

“Huh?”

“That man named Bark.”

“Huh? A man? A man to Cowra? What does that mean?”

Claire asked Cowra with a twinkle in her eye.

“Huh? Uh… Well, that’s… Sorry.”

Kaura confessed what happened to him.

After hearing her story, Cloud frowned at her.
But on the contrary, Claire asked Cowra with a wide smile on her face.

“Kaura, I recognized you in the suit at a glance? Isn’t this fate?”

“Ha… Claire, that’s not important. Cowra’s identity has been discovered.”

“I don’t think it’s too much to criticize Cowra for. Her sharp sense was good. She can’t see it as Cowra’s mistake.”

Hermann defended Kaura.

“That’s right! How could Cowra know he would be there in the first place? It’s amazing that he recognized Cowra in the suit.”

Claire also agreed with Hermann’s opinion and protected Cowra.

“Kaura. Could it be that that guy named Bak is infatuated with you? To the point where he recognizes you with your face covered at a glance!”

Claire asked Cowra with an excited face.

“Oh, probably not… He’s married…”

As Kaura said that, she remembered his flirtatious nature that she had seen at the swimming pool.
He didn’t seem like a man devoted to his family.

“Wealth, affair? Forbidden love?”

“Ha… Claire, don’t keep changing the topic to something strange…”

“Cloud. If you act so hard, you won’t be popular with women?”

When Cloud sighed and scolded Claire, she pouted her lips and grumbled.

“You even encouraged him to join Rebellion? Wasn’t he a little impatient?”

Cloud ignored Claire and asked Cowra again.

“You knew my identity and didn’t report it? Isn’t that trustworthy?”

“What Cowra said is right! He must be in love with Cowra! He must be mesmerized by her beauty!”

“…”

Cloud’s head throbbed at the sight of Claire trying to get him involved somehow.

In any case, Cowra’s story made sense.

If he had any ill feelings towards Rebellion, he should have already been in trouble.

“… What about the investigation into him?”

“I think he retired from operating a magic stone mine. He has a wife and daughter… And a younger sister seems to be living with him.”

“Meet him in person with Claire. Invite him one more time, and if he refuses to join, erase his memory.”

Cowra made a reluctant expression at Cloud’s cold words.

“Well, that is…”

“Huh… Cowra. I know you trust him, but you’re not the only one doing this. It might be okay now, but there might be a big problem later.”

“Uh… Okay.”
