“Those bastards…… dropped their heads! ”

Dean has gone into Dove mode with the Horn Empire.

Mark and Hans instinctively slam their heads to the ground. There was a sudden rash in the middle of the street.

“Can a man reverse his decision once? ”

“No! ”

Mark and Hans reply gracefully.

“Why don't we leave the man's path ahead of us? ”

“No! ”

“Can I cry like a girl in the farewell of men? ”

“No! ”

“Then I'll give you one more chance. I get up and walk straight ahead. The crying one looks back, and the one who makes eye contact dies. Do you understand?!"

“Old!”

“Wake up!”

Mark and Hans are up and about. Then I packed up and started walking. I don't look back and walk out without hesitation because I'm afraid of who's from the military.

But we could see the shoulders of the two men trembling. It is to endure the bursting of tears.

Nevertheless, not crying was because of Dean's willingness to obey his commands to the end. It meant that they regarded him as their leader forever.

Dean and Lex's eyes flush.

I felt like I was going to tear up their friendship and separation. That's how Mark and Hans disappeared from sight.

Dean quickly opens his mouth as if trying to wash away his grief.

“Is the wilderness to the south where you want to subdue monsters? ”

“Yes.”

“Then the monsters you want to hunt are like the Blood Scorpion and the Earth Swarm. ”

The wilderness to the south was small enough for us to go alone.

“The Earth Swarm doesn't reveal itself much, but Blood Scorpion could be dangerous. If you give me about a week, I'll check and prepare the equipment. ”

“Do it. ”

I was just about to study more about animosity myself.

“We're going to buy a new weapon. Will you come with us? ”

At Dean's question, cis shakes his head.

“I'll see you then. ”

Dean and Rex leave for the armory together.

Sis considers what to do with the rest of the inn alone.

Nothing comes to mind.

Immediately, Innkeeper Max approaches and asks.

“Wizard lady, do you want anything to eat? How's that little piggy bank you had last night? ”

Max found out that she was weak in food and began to trick her. When she started to eat, five silver coins would earn a lot of money.

However, the sheath shakes her head.

Max was startled. She didn't want to eat like a little Ogre yesterday?

“Why? I'm not feeling well? Oh, did you eat too much yesterday? However, if you eat that much, you can pretend to be anyone.... ”

“Bite.”

“Oh, well, he ate it yesterday. Then my wife is really good at other foods... ”

“Bite.”

“ ……. ”

Max realized that she had said she was tired of the inn's cuisine.

As Max gives up and turns away, cis suddenly remembers one thing he wants to do.

Let's get out on the streets and start grinding.

There's gonna be lots of different food.

900 Redinas of immense money is in hand. For the first time in my life, I was able to do what I wanted to do without worrying about money.

My heart trembled. What is that freedom? Now you can enjoy it.

Sis was originally the daughter of a joke.

Her family was able to farm in sweat on their lord's estate and receive enough food to survive the starvation. Ever since she was a child, her wish was to eat something delicious.

When I was seven years old, I lost my parents to the plague and worked as a maid in the Lord's mansion, and a wizard who visited that winter discovered that Sis had a gift for magic.

The Wizard gave the lord a few gold coins and brought Sis to the Magic Guild.

You need to be able to feel Mana to master magic, which is very rare for one in a thousand people.

The Magic Guild was expanding its policy of bringing in children with such rare talents and educating them for free. It's because the number of wizards was the guild's power.

I was only assigned to a small room where I could lie down, and each one ate a little bread and beast-like soup. The bread is so hard that I couldn't chew it unless it was soaked in soup. But I was touched by not starving.

Instead of giving her free food, putting her to sleep, and teaching her magic, life in the magical guild was never easy. Almost cut off from others, I had to practice magic to die without rest or play. That's why the wizards were so slow to speak and so gloomy.

Free education lasted until the age of 16. In addition, he taught only 2 circles of magic, and from 3 circles he had to become a disciple of another wizard.

Most wizards didn't want disciples who were not from wealthy nobles. His disciple, who was more talented than he was, was even more reluctant. It's because I'm jealous that I'll outrun myself someday.

Sis, who had mastered two circles at the age of thirteen, matched both of them.

A magical guild was obliged to work for a guild for five years when it became a two-circle master instead of giving it free training.

At the age of thirteen, Sis, who did not acquire a teacher, had to deal with all sorts of duties with the end staff of the Magic Guild. When I worked for three years like that, I was convicted by the guild.

The Magic Guild sold the remaining two years of medical weapons to an unknown mercenary. He sold Sis for money from the mercenaries. That was one of the financial income of the Magic Guild.

The mercenaries used Sis more harshly than the guild. At a young age who was not yet an adult, she had to magically kill on the battlefield.

During his one year as a mercenary, Sis became more and more speechless. And I became increasingly distrustful of people.

When the mercenaries encountered the ogre while camping in the forest, the mercenaries were desperate, but Sis was buried.

Starving children. Parents who died from the spinning bottle. Lots of mercenaries and soldiers dying on the battlefield. She has watched many people die in her lifetime. She naturally thought she was going to be one of those deaths.

Sis was also horrified when the ogre shredded mercenaries, but it was overwhelmed by ogre violence, not death. It is because the past life was not so happy to fear death.

Then a miracle happened.

With Caroc's group close to rescue her and defeating the ogre together, Sis is fortunate enough.

The mercenaries were exterminated, except for her. I no longer had to be torn down by the boring contracts. Moreover, a man named Carroc and his companions were good people to see for a long time.

Caroc sold the ogre's corpse at a high price and distributed the payment fairly. Instead of gold coins, he had never touched silver coins, but when 900 Redinara dropped his money, Sis was dumbfounded.

“Beautiful lady, look at this beautiful hairpin. ”

A woman selling jewelry across the street grabbed Sis by the wrist.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, shes looks at the hairpin the hawker showed her. A small metal head pin about two fingers long. The tip was decorated with a rose carved from wood.

“Oh, you must be a wizard. ”

When the hawker woman looks at the staff that Sis is holding, she nods.

“Cute guy. This hairpin will make your face look even prettier if you remove it a little bit. ”

She swipes her graceful blue hair back and pins it in. And I showed him the hand mirror.

“Take a look. Beautiful, isn't she?”

Sis didn't think she was particularly pretty in the mirror.

But for the first time in my life, I felt fresh with a hairpin on my head. Not bad.

Sis gave out a penny of gold.

“Oh, this is too much money. I don't have any change... Wait a minute. ”

The hawker woman rummages through her bag and pulls out more new accessories. A silver star shaped earring.

“I'll give you more of this. It's the most expensive thing I have. It's pure silver, and it's very crafted, so the price will be right. ”

Sis gently fastens a star-shaped silver earring to her ear. The hawker woman quickly shows her mirror. Sis liked it. Likewise, it was the earring I had worn in my life.

The hawker said goodbye to the woman, and Sis walked again. My step was lighter than before because I felt good.

There was a lot of grumbling on the street. The needle was placed in the mouth of the sheath. I saw an old man selling a lamb with a skewered skewer, and I approached.

“Welcome, miss. The Lamb Skewers are delicious. ”

Sis picks one up and starts eating. The old man gladly watched as he ate a very delicious skewers with a bunch of sauce in his mouth. One, two, three…… eleven, twelve……. The smile disappeared from the old man's mouth as the twenty passed by.

The old man hurriedly started grilling more mutton skewers. The speed at which the sheath ate was similar to the speed at which it was baked. The tired old man asked with a weary face.

“How many are you going to eat? ”

Sis took out a gold coin in exchange for an answer.

“Enjoy. ”

The old man's eyes changed when he saw the sparkling gold coins. I grilled, seasoned, and skewered lamb with a lightning bolt. One reddish was 1,000 skewers.

After eating, Sis wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and looked around.

Then I realized that the children with the filthy look were staring at themselves from afar.

Sis considers for a moment, then sticks out a skewer. They were drooling, but they didn't come forward hesitantly. One of them took courage and approached and was skewered. As the girl with a bright face began to eat the skewers, the other children came as well. Sis handed them out one by one.

As rumors spread, hungry children came to town.

Sis gives you an embarrassing look, then takes another gold coin and hands it to the old man who sells lamb skewers, then leaves.

The old man yelled at the whale, surrounded by children screaming for skewers.

“Fellas! Get in line! ”
