Glug.

Lena opens the wagon window.

Whew!

The wind is cold in the late autumn. Slightly frozen in the air.

“It will be winter soon. ”

“There's still a month left. ”

I looked outside.

The wheat field spreads to the sides. Harvest ended a long time ago.

But even in the late autumn season, the field is not empty.

People are plowing the field after harvest. If there are no cows, the two of you pull the plow in pairs. I felt like I was going to collapse right away.

It was dramatically contrasted with the spectacular parties that took place inside the walls of the castle, or the Lord's castle.

There was no young man at all. It's men with wrinkles on their foreheads who pull ploughs. Sprinkling fertilizer in the back, planting something is old age.

The fertilizer-spraying old man grunts, grabbing his knee several times. I asked as if I was flying.

“You look miserable. Isn't the harvest over? ”

“You're planting barley. It's been a long time since I've seen him. I think they're ripping it apart. ”

Lena kicks her tongue slightly.

“Rip it off? ”

“As soon as you harvest the wheat and rice, you plant the barley like that. ”

“Has the lord changed? ”

Lena nods.

“Maybe? It was a great city to live in. This isn't the kind of city you're supposed to be in. ”

I think Rubia's father was a good ruler.

It reminds me of Rubia, who often fires a gun, though clumsy. If he had been well educated, he might have been a good lord.

When I first met Rubia, I remembered her protesting to the hunters that she was the rightful heir.

Charge in with the dagger.

Dallac.

I lifted and placed the bones. Thinking about what happened after that, I was once again suffering.

If she were Lord, wouldn't the humans of the Wheat Field look like that? Maybe for a while.

The clumsy look did not easily disappear from my mind.

“What are you thinking? ”

“It's nothing. ”

“We don't have all the young people. ”

“Recruited, I suppose. They're training him. Can't you see inside the walls? ”

“Scratching for food in military training. It's going on, but do you really think there's going to be a war? ”

Lena blinks and asks.

“Of course.”

“How can you be so sure? ”

“Just.”

I had nothing else to say.

I know that it will happen. How do I explain what?

“Because the emperor wants war. ”

Lena tilts her head.

“You don't believe in the Alliance and Ember's response. ”

“Is that a reliable response? ”

“It's trustworthy to be objective.

It's more than just knowing. Me, of course.

I believe my husband.

Lena leans over my shoulder. The scent of a gentle hot perfume. The fragrance of a mild perfume made from Bill Berry flowers.

Suddenly, I felt a sense of camaraderie.

‘When did it start to smell like this? ’

My sense of smell was not sensitive enough to distinguish fragrance from perfume.

I pushed her away and looked out the window.

The path is flattened. Horses speed up a bit. The wagon wiggles slightly more.

Dust flickers under the wheel.

It doesn't reach all the way up. It disappears far behind.

A blue spear opened in front of my eyes.

[Fairy tale rates have fallen.]

[88.68% > 88.61%]

‘Fairy tale rates.’

Words that keep coming. I still don't know what that means. But one thing is clear:

Whenever something new is recognized, the fairy tale goes down.

Look back at the beginning. When they bit the warrior and spilled blood on his skull?

I feel like there was something there.

Something?

I arrived at the guild shortly. I went into the ledger room, and a middle-aged gentleman with a gentle impression hit me with a glare.

Of course, that identity is a sticky green slime that can change anything.

“Oh, I've heard stories. ”

Already?

“Suddenly,

The ledger glances out the window at the bird sitting in the tree. A small, black ribbon is tied around the ankle of a bird. A little cylinder with a letter on it.

“Just right.

The Prelate stands up.

“You've done well. ”

You turn back. You see the scruffy brown drawer against the wall.

Huff.

Pick up the key and open the middle drawer.

You hear a heavy rumbling sound.

Bring me a glittering gold coin.

“It's remuneration, thank you. ”

I took it and held it in my hand.

I got my 3rd theory, and with a message, a window said Lime's appeal went up by 2.

These windows are also becoming more and more familiar.

“Then I'll pretend this quest was completed by Lena. ”

You nod moderately. That's the whole point.

I bounced three Doubloons off Lena.

It's quite bulky.

“Take it.”

“Wow, thank you! ”

Lena gets it fast. Three heavy gold coins are ripped from her hands.

Lena smiles brightly. Gently stroke the sparkling Doubloons.

The embossed portrait of the early emperor rubs several times from her fingertips.

It seems to enjoy the feeling and sensitivity of gold coins slowly.

‘Is money that good? ’

I get emotional on my face. She was silent for a while.

You stand naked in the snowy field, and suddenly you think your coat looks like it's been worn.

She mutters to herself.

“Wow, this is heavy. ”

“Is it heavy?”

Theories are made by mixing pure gold and miss reels. The blend ratio is 50: 1. The diameter is also large compared to silver coins.

But it's not hard to lift.

“Hahaha. For doing this to me. It's heavy.”

My eyes are a little moisturized.

I feel embarrassed.I don't have anything good to do. This is not altruistic at all. It's just an act of unraveling a debt.

Well, it just so happens to be going well.

This relationship doesn't know when it will be destroyed. Humans and magic in the first place.

I want to avoid her emotions. Too much for me. I turned my gaze and looked at the ledger. Turn the conversation around.

“Did you receive these gold coins from the Jinnees? ”

“That's not true, but you should give it to the quest attendant first. ”

Favorable attitude: getting your money out first.

“Receive the next quest. ”

“You're in a hurry.”

“We still have a long way to go. ”

Literally. I beat a few Humans in the tournament. But we still have a long way to go.

The guy I met in the tournament.

‘This is all a joke,’ he said. He was very serious.

Strong Humans are stacked. The world is full of unknowns.

If we don't hurry.

I opened my mouth slowly, smiling at my anxious reaction.

“I have a very difficult quest.

“I'll take care of it. Talk to me. ”

The ledger raises a mug. I had a sip of coffee.

It's been three months.

The southern part of the Empire is not even flat, although it is not comparable to the Highlands of the east. The long foothills of the Grax Mountains spread all over the place.

I've been walking around in between. You ambushed a 'withered maze' full of poisoned thorns.

In the red eyes, the 'Bloody Horseman's Quarter', which was crouched by a Centaurus with sharp teeth.

The ghouls that walk around like rags remain in the 'gills from corpses'.

In the Pit of Poisonous Hyena, you obtained a dagger that emits its own poison from its tip.

Most of the time, you step in behind the adventurers who invade the dungeon.

Invaders and residents have all made our experience.

I destroyed the Bandit's Lair and was asked to avenge or protect a merchant.

Dong Seon handed over the Ledger as an optimal composer.

The money was amazingly large.

Lena grows stronger faster than ever. My growth, on the other hand, was unsupported.

Level is stagnant with level up to 30.

Whenever I level up, my stats only rise by 1.

A Skeleton Soldier is the limit of its kind.

I felt sorry for him, too.

On the other hand, Lena gains 4 stats at a time for each level up.

After a privilege has grown once, it often rises by five. Over-efficient Later, I pushed the EXP towards her.

Whee!

Eyes scatter from outside the window.

Tada, tada, tada.

The fireplace burns the firewood. The colder the day, the warmer the hearth.

The sound of burning wood has a rhythm.

Shorter, longer, and shorter.

“Warm.”

Lena mumbles a little. She sits against the wall.

I hold my sleeping sister and stroke my hair slowly.

There is an empty coffee cup on the floor.

A few pieces of shredded cookie wrappers roll around nearby.

“Whoa.

Lena carefully lays her sleeping sister next to me.

Then, I lay on my knees as if I was falling behind.

Suddenly.

Tuck.

You raise your hand, supporting her falling head below.

“Don't lie on your knees. ”

“Why? Do you have arthritis? Nervous pain?

Do you want to go to the hot springs with me? ”

Lena looks up and frowns, her head resting on my hand.

Bright eyes. Clear eyes that are not precipitated. When I look at these eyes, I think:

How can I see?

There should be a soft lens.

The cloudy gray matter slowly settled, leaving nothing on the mane.

It's just an empty hole.

Although the world can be explained by any given law, it sometimes breaks the explanation and goes beyond it.

This is what real life looks like.

“What a hot spring. ”

“Why! That's a lot of money. I can rent it out for a month. ”

It's a funny story.

“I still have a lot to do. ”

It's true that you have a lot of money. It's vague to say I've earned it.

With various quests and Dungeon raids, Lena found things that could be worth money like a ghost.

I've been running around busy trying to raise her, but I'm not as crazy as a tenth of the money she's made on her own.

There are several pockets full of Doubloons.

Besides financial aspects, Lena no longer needs my help.

I raised Lena's status window.
