The next morning, after rendezvous with Alice, we walked toward Alice's grandfather's house in a manner led by Alice.
The house of interest is still a short walk from here and will arrive in about an hour.
Towards the east side of the city, the surrounding area turned into a residential area as it approached the edge of the city.
A large site surrounded by high walls enters the corner of the residential area.
As I approached the wall, I understood that it was a site that was large enough to accommodate many houses.
Arriving in front of the site, two houses were built inside the site.
At first I noticed a beautiful exterior and a large building standing to welcome visitors.
A sign stands out in front of the door of the building.
The remaining buildings stand to hide from the beautiful ones, and the exterior walls are black and dirty and cannot be called beautiful buildings.
The roof is fitted with a chimney and smoke is rising.
I turned my eye to the sign of a beautiful building.
The sign said "Charlemagne Workshop".
"Here!?
"Yes, my grandfather has a magic shop in this city. My grandfather is a craftsman himself, and his apprentice is quite good. Now that my grandfather is also old, it seems that I leave the shop to my apprentice and I do nothing every day."
"You should have known when Marie and Alice's family name was Charlemagne! I can't believe that Charlemagne Workshop was close to me... that genius Galileo Charlemagne was my grandfather..."
The Charlemagne Workshop is not an equipment item, it is a specialized workshop for magic equipment made by processing magic stones.
The magic equipment made at the Charlemagne Workshop has become a popular magic equipment store due to its high performance and user-friendliness.
The popularity is immense, no matter how high it is if a new work is launched, it will sell in an instant.
And the man who built the Charlemagne Workshop is Galileo Charlemagne, whose reputation I also hear.
"Actually, yes. Ehehe, are you surprised, Mr. Label?
Alice was laughing.
"That's right, Marie-san's father can't be ordinary. But I can't believe your grandfather was a genius craftsman."
"My grandfather is amazing, and neither my mother nor I have the talent to make magical instruments."
I understand that. What I'm trying to say is that the whole family has a great talent.
Because Alice's strength is also inherited from super first-class blood.
"I was brought back to a shitty place. Just give me the letter and I'll finish it."
"Mr. Label, my grandfather always makes something in the workshop. Follow me!
Alice walked deeper into the room as she was used to it, opening the door without knocking.
In the workshop, several craftsmen were working in disarray.
No one will look at us even though the door is open.
Each is focused on his or her own work.
That enthusiasm came to me.
"I'm so enthusiastic. I like the atmosphere."
I followed Alice and looked around the workshop.
Unlike me, Alice, who seemed accustomed to it, did not turn a blind eye in particular and went to the back of the workshop.
Along the way, he starts to speak to young craftsmen.
Hello, your grandfather is in the back.
"Ah!? It's been a long time, Alice. Yes, the teacher is in the back."
"Thank you. I'm sorry I stopped you."
There was a door at the back, and when he opened it, a sharp person with gray hair tied together behind his head was immersed in the work.
"Grandpa!!
Alice's words revealed that the person was Galileo Charlemagne.
As Alice spoke energetically, she went back to the Galileo Charlemagne.
Galileo Charlemagne also noticed Alice's voice.
"Oh, Alice!? You look good, right? What's up with you today?
Actually, I have a letter from your mother.
"Well, I got a letter from Marie... so who's the next guy?
With that, Galileo Charlemagne stared at me as he saw fit.
Me and Galileo Sharman had eyes.
Does this Charlemagne clan contain elf blood?
Considering Marie's father, at least sixty years old should be slightly over, and even if she is said to be fifty in appearance, she looks incredibly young.
"Er, because it's dangerous for me to be alone, my mother asked Label to escort me..."
As Alice introduced me, I lowered my head to Galileo Charlemagne.
"Hoo..."
So... I want to tell my grandfather that I'm actually going to be helping out with Mr. Label's guild. "
So you're telling me you're away from Marie.
"It was a lot, but it wasn't a fight or a goodbye, so don't worry about it."
"You're an adult now, so I respect your opinion."
"Thank you. I thought your grandfather would say that. Your father never admitted it."
Alice, please don't put me with that single cell.
A sad expression appeared.
I can empathize with that feeling very much.
After a street greeting, Alice handed a well-sealed letter to Galileo Charlemagne.
Galileo Charlemagne opens the seal and reads the letter.
It didn't take long to finish reading the letter.
"I see... so much... hmm"
She is murmuring as she stares at the letter.
"Alright, I'm going to dive into a nearby dungeon and mine a magic stone. Get you guys ready."
All of a sudden, that's what I said.
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? You're going to dive into the dungeon with us to get the magic stone? From now on!?
"Oh, that's right. Luckily, there is an A-class dungeon near the city. Many of the magical stones that can be taken in the dungeons that have long appeared near this city are of good quality. I built a shop in this city because it's easy to get quality magic stones."
"But why are you diving now? We have to go back tomorrow."
"Nobody said anything about attacking a dungeon, right? Just collect magic stones in the upper tier. Alice the S-Class Adventurer can afford an A-Class dungeon, right? I'll do the mining, so just keep me safe."
"Mhh...."
Alice glanced at me with a sigh.
The intention must be waiting for my judgment.
I nod and accept.
Marie owed a lot to me and I didn't think that the return was just enough to deliver the letter.
Then I'd be happy to help you mine magic stones.
That's what I thought.
"Okay. So me and Mr. Label are your grandfather's guards? I think it would be better to send my apprentice to the dungeon."
"Don't worry! I was still a Class A adventurer. The A-Class dungeons are diving in countless places."
Galileo Charlemagne said so forcefully, and as soon as he stood up from the spot, he started walking.
After that, Alice and I will go after him.
I just came to give you the letter, but I'll meet a genius craftsman, and I'll dive into the dungeon, and I'll keep unfolding.
"I hope nothing happens, but maybe I should take this seriously..."
I switched my mind to give my full support.
