Episode 4-1 Patience Is Not For People

If you think calmly, it could have been enough. If I could afford a little more, I'd have had a chance to notice...... and look up at the girl laughing invincibly for some reason.

"Heh heh, you can count on me, sister, right?

The person who asked Melissa and the others to capture Lyx Galvea alive. Claire Hey pays for a long platinum blonde with her fingers, with a pranky grin. I saw that. I weakened all at once.

"... why is Claire here?

"Of course, because I'm the client who asked you to keep Luxgarveer alive, right?

"No, I know that, but why is Claire the client?

"Mr. Elise's medical condition has gotten worse, so it should have been in a proper letter saying we'd try to do something about it here, too, right?

... That's what it said.

I mean, I guess Mr. Crain kept his mouth shut after he realized. And now I think that I was leaning down and shivering, putting up with laughter, not fear.

Totally. I don't know what kind of person he is because he says he controls this country in the shadows... Claire, hey, I'm so convinced of that!

"I know your client says you're not Claire, but why were you captured alive?

"Oh, if you don't catch him alive, the creep will rot."

"Ooh..."

It's possible for me or Alice to tell you to ice it with spiritual witchcraft... but if you ask me, don't normally rot. I had no idea.

"- Hey, give me a minute. Do you two know each other!?

Max, who was surprised by our interaction, interrupts the conversation.

"You know him... he's my brother, right?

"... brother? That's not..."

Max and Melissa's gaze concentrates on me.

"That said, you didn't name it. Actually, I'm the Earl of the Granchez family. Again, do you mind?

"" Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!?

Max and Melissa each raise their surprises.

"So you're the benefactor who saved my father, the inhabitants of the village!?

"Well, that's what it's all about."

I couldn't remember the name Garrett alone, but when I heard the story, I thought of it. The leader of the bandit we caught must have been the only one by that name.

In other words, Melissa is the daughter of a relative (village chief) who was collecting the bandits.

"Rio-kun - No, Master Rion. Thank you. You are our benefactor. And yet we turned down your request... I'm sorry!

Melissa apologizes, followed by Max bowing his head too.

"No, I don't care about that."

"That's not going to happen. I can't really apologize for not knowing, but for trying out your benefactor."

"No, no, because I really don't care. In the first place, it's not the two of us who are bad..."

- Claire, hey, so...

- Because you're my brother.

Claire said it off so she could put it on my line. I look at Claire by accident.

"... why me?

"'Cause I put in a call that I was gonna do something about it, and I was making a request in the name of the Granchez family, right? Why is my brother using a pseudonym?

"Yeah, 'cause that... I didn't want to stand out."

The moment I answered, Claire. Hey scratched up the platinum blonde and sighed loudly.

"Um hey brother. I know how you feel, but it's for Sophia, right? Don't make the most of your power. What are you gonna do?

"Well, that, yes, but... there was a chance that Patrick would interfere."

"To that extent, you can get rid of it. If my brother had even named you, it wouldn't have been this easy, would it? So my brother's bad this time"

"Gu..."

All I can hear is too much honesty.

"- And anyway, I mean, Mr. Melissa and Mr. Max aren't bad."

The flag color is bad, so I only speak the conclusion and do everything in my power to mislead the cause. But that seemed to find out, Claire. Hey, Couscous laughs at me.

"... well, my brother is right. So you two don't have to worry about it. Or can we just keep the deal on schedule?

Claire instead of me pointing that way. Hey asks.

"Of course I'm fine. Luxgal Bear is kept in an Alliance building outside of town, so it can be handed over immediately."

"I've confirmed it with my guild, so you can hand it over later. I'll give you the reward first."

That's what I said, Claire, but what I piled on my desk was gold coins - ten. I try to hand that to Mr. Melissa. On the verge - I broke in for a moment.

"... brother? What's wrong with you?

"That ten pieces of gold is the reward for keeping Lyx Galveer alive, right?

"Yeah, I am. In a hurry, I set it at a high rate, but could it have been a problem?

"I don't have a problem with the amount I set. Just..."

I tell him that Max and Melissa didn't give up even a thousand gold coins because the purpose was to repay him.

"... a thousand gold coins. It's amazing if you say no, but you offered a hell of a price."

"Really? Your uniform cost something similar."

"That, you say, was an anomaly in your uniform. Well... I know what you're trying to say, but what are you going to do?

"No, you don't."

I laugh and turn to Melissa and Max again.

"I am. When he offered me a thousand gold coins and said no, I was shocked."

"Oh, um... sorry"

The moment I heard my words, Melissa reflexively uttered an apology.

"No, I'm not mad at you. I was shocked then, but I was impressed at the same time. Because you let go of your chance to get a thousand gold coins for your benefactor."

A thousand pieces of gold. Even if the two of us split the mountains, it's an amount we can spend the rest of our lives playing with. I kicked it and prioritized giving back. And I was the target.

I even remember being impressed by that fact.

So...

"Wild life doesn't say in the reward of luxgarvea. Pay ten gold coins first as promised."

I confronted them as Count Granchez, not Rio or Rio.

"That's enough. We just wanted to thank you."

"My story's not over yet. The two of them gave priority to giving back to the Granchez family until they kicked the reward of a thousand gold coins. Because of that, I don't want Sophia to cry about her family. You're my benefactors."

"Yes, no, as I was saying, we just repay you."

"But it doesn't make any difference that you guys are benefactors. So thank you for saving my family, and I'll make your wish come true."

"Oh, that's..."

I don't know what you mean, you two look at me.

But I guess I put my breath down and got to a certain possibility. The colors floated in the eyes of both of them as you might expect.

"I'll give you your family back, too. Free everyone, starting with Garrett, from criminal slavery."

"Can I have my father back...?

Melissa opened her eyes. He said it was his dream to buy back a scattered family. I didn't put it in my mouth, but I guess I've really been hoping.

"There are no two words. provided, however, that the grace received as Earl of Granchez shall be the thing returned with it. I don't know after that. You guys do something about the food and shelter."

"Of course that's enough for you to release me. Thanks!

Melissa begins to weep with too much joy. And I guess Max felt the same way. He only wept one tear.

- But Claire on the side. Hey, she's laughing at Couscous. Speaking of private rooms, I don't think Max and the others can hear me because the stirring in the store is ringing...

"Claire, hey, you laugh too much at everything"

I whispered into the complaint.

"Because I don't know after that. I said do something with you guys. Phew."

"... what do you say that is? Actually, nothing more, huh?

"Right. You don't do anything as Count Granchez, do you?

"... nothing, you're not throwing up"

As Earl of Granchez, I can tell you that you have done enough to repay a dozen criminal slaves simply by granting them amnesties. So I won't do anything more.

But... thanks for everything, too, as Rio. To thank you, enough to give a mansion or a working mouth big enough for everyone to live in... well, it would be a field of common sense. Probably.

"Pfft. You're still sweet."

"... no?

No matter how much you insist on paying back as Rio, someone who understands. If they say you can't keep your shape as Earl of Granchez, there's no objection.

I worried about it that way, Claire. Hey softly narrowed my emerald eyes so as to melt my anxiety like that.

"Wouldn't that be nice? I don't care who he is. At least that's what I like about my brother, right?

"Oh, thank you"

I turned to her in embarrassment. Claire, I'm never used to these straightforward expressions of affection from hey.

"Phew, my brother, he's so cute in the light"

"Mmmm..."

I regret it. Claire, I think I'm getting treated like a child more and more often. If I put my life in the past, I'd be definitely older.

- 'Cause now's not the time to say that. Give me one cough. I reopened the deal with Max and the others.
