Tino asks me with a modest voice when I leave the treasure store and head to the cranhouse early.

"I did... didn't I... didn't I have enough money?

"We finally met... we can't miss that treasure"

I do owe money. [M] But if you miss this opportunity, The Transforming Person (Reverse Face) will never appear in front of you again.

Possession of the "Converting Person (Reverse Face)", which is ideal for crime, is not illegal because making possession of the treasure itself would hinder the hunter from bringing the treasure home from the treasure hall.

Zebuldia is a country developed by the power of treasure hunters. Treasures discovered in the treasure hall cannot be judged on their abilities unless they are also appraisers. If the illegality of treasure items brought back with their lives is discovered and captured, none of the hunters will bring treasure items back to Empire City.

Not just The Converting Person (Reverse Face), but the Empire is legally allowed to possess all treasures.

But on the contrary - possession is just not a sin, and it's NO if illegal treasures line up in stores. If you have decent thoughts, you don't want to sell treasures whose use would be a sin.

There are limited means of obtaining treasure pieces that do not line up in stores. Not to mention the possibility that it won't even reappear while I'm alive.

This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity. Put your parents in quality. But you should get it.

"... Tino... how much money do you have?

"No, it's a reference. Just for your information, yeah. I'll borrow it from Citrie, so I'll be fine. Yeah, I'm fine."

But we just discussed this mortgage. Too bad timing makes my stomach upset.

"Yes... that's it -"

Tino leaned back and said with a dismayed look, "Is that treasure a substitute enough to say so? It's a little like the disgusting mask I used to have... 'etc. What face would I look like if I said something like this to go around the sweet spot by myself?

It's okay. You can borrow it from Citrine and you'll be fine. No matter how convenient the illegal treasure, I don't expect it to be that expensive.

Citrie is an alchemist. Make money, by the name of it! I don't know what you're making out of it, but it's okay because you're the kind of person who can pound billions of units of money!

I'm so scared that one day I'm going to be Klee Smart.

A large carriage had stopped in front of the clan house.

It's a black, polished carriage that seems to be costing you money. Two black hairy stately physique horses pull, gazing around as if intimidating.

The body was engraved with a crest imitating the three swords to be exchanged.

Tino finds it and makes a strange look.

"Gladys' family crest......? The house must have hated hunters..."

Count Gladys, I know even the unknown. He is one of the nobles with the power to belong to Zebuldia.

Also known as Zebuldia's 'sword', it is a martial family that has long defended the Empire.

They say the territory they own is not that big, but they have many treasure palaces in the territory, and they have many powerful soldiers with hunter-faced defeats by regularly sending in their assigned knights. In Zebuldia, which is home to many treasure palaces, the Knights' faces are all quite small and absorb Mana Materials, but Gladys has a different character.

We are careful not to associate ourselves too much with the nobility, so I don't know the details, but Tino is right about the house, which is synonymous with a nobleman who hates hunters.

I had seen him face to face at a party somewhere before, but I remember him staring at me with an awesome eye like shooting him.

Everyone passing by is looking at the carriage with a surprised look, probably because they know the house is eyeing the hunter.

Will it be trouble again? Whatever happened to the carriage in the hunter hater's house, is it stopping in front of the Clanhouse in Footprint?

I wouldn't have come here to harass you. But even if something comes up, the first thing you need to do is go through the Explorers' Association.

Tino is staring up at me and waiting for words.

It's a pain in the ass when I say I'm busy right now. I wonder if you could go home when I get grounded.

With such disrespect in mind, the entrance door opened.

"Thank you for dropping me off. Dear Mr. Ecclair, give my regards to Sir Gladys."

"Mm-hmm. Nothing to worry about. I don't really like hunters, except for samurai. Ark, I look forward to seeing your sword again."

"Ahh."

It was Ark and the girl in the white dress who showed up. Is it for security around, there are many knights equipped with polished light armor?

Stopped by screaming voices that went out unintentionally to look like they were waiting. Because the girls we showed up with were clearly aristocrats.

Unlike childhood tampering, I am not fighting fast enough to poke at nobility, but I was trying to be as silent as possible in a place where nobility is there because I didn't learn and I didn't grow up very well.

A girl looks up at me all of a sudden, and she starts to raise her voice. The spotless white skin and clear blue eyes guarantee that the girl will grow beautifully in the future, but the sight is an arrogant thing that looks down here somewhere.

Has my age come in ten? We were obsessed with being hunters back then, but this year's sharp glance must have been a tough one to educate nobles.

The pure white dress seemed to be everyday, and its appearance dressed in nature certainly had a beauty peculiar to those who stood up.

A dress with little decoration and an overly decorative short sword around the waist indicate the girl's origins.

With a tall voice, a girl comes to order.

"What, you? Out of the way, get out of the way."

"What a mouthful!

Embrace Tino from behind trying to come forward and reflexively bite him, blocking his mouth with his right hand. Can't believe you're trying to stick your neck in an obvious mess, Liz?

Ark said something extra with a refreshing grin to me, trying to pave the way with a gentle smile on his face.

"Oh, Klee. I just left. With the courtesy of Sir Gladys, I ask you to take me out to the carriage... she is Lord Eclair's son."

Is it another new harem? Wouldn't this age be no good at all? I didn't think Ark was willing to Loricon.

Do everything you can to keep the light mouth that's about to come out. No, you shouldn't say it yet. If you say that in front of my son, my neck will fly.

Me and Ark are close enough to slap each other lightly, but I've just met your daughter.

But the nobleman who called Ark was the Marquis de Sandline - he should have been a moderate against hunters as well. Have you brought back Gladys' son, no matter how many stories?... Better than bringing our Lord.

Lady Eckler heard Ark and peeled his eyes off. Look at it staring from your feet to the tip of your head.

"……… you are the Changing Thousand." I've heard a lot from your father. "

Words and attitudes were upright, but voices were child-specific and tall.

No matter how much I say, I will not be frightened of the child's words.

Continue in a clear tone by Master Eclair. The look on the faces of the knights guarding around them was strong.

"As your father said, he seems to be infinitely weak. I can't believe you're a hunter beyond Arc Rodin."

…………

"The Seekers Association has also fallen. You bought a status for gold? You filthy hunter, shame on you."

…………

".................. so far, why don't you say anything? Don't you have any pride?

The lady, for some reason, steps back and asks with a look like she even saw something creepy.

I restarted the breathing I had stopped and said it in a calm voice so as not to sound as disrespectful as possible.

Tino in my arm is squatting, but I ignore that.

"I don't grow up well, and I don't know how to be polite, so I try to be as discreet as possible."

"Huh!? Hmm.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Ugh, um. Good luck."

I look around the left and right as if Lord Ecclair had been screwed out of his nose, coughing up small and saying.

There is nothing to benefit from undermining the mood of the nobility. I am not in a position to devour my authority as a shield, and as this girl says, I have no pride, so if I'm going to have to sit in the ground, I'm going to sit in the ground.... I'll be grounded, so I was wondering if you could lend me some money.

A good old man waiting at the entrance tells Lady Eclair in a small voice.

He's a man hardened in black butler clothes, both up and down. Perhaps it's her guide.

"Ma'am, it's time"

"Ugh, yeah!

As if helped by the words, Master Eckler looks up to the arc with momentum.

"Okay, Ark. We'll see each other again. When visiting Gladys territory, contact us. Put on another sword arch!

Arch seems to be struggling with the archery of the sword to the noble lady.

All I wanted to say was, at the end of the day, Lady Eckler must have stared at me and left in a carriage with the people with him.

It's a stormy lady. Will I be like Liz when I grow up...... won't I?

Finally breathing back. The wild horses, who seemed to be watching this one uncommonly, go away.

As Ark approached familiarly, he offered his apologies softly at the waist.

"I didn't even contact you, and suddenly you were sorry to get in the carriage. I couldn't say no because they said so."

It's Arc. It's Arc. It is a joker in terms of cards. Now we can solve everything even if something bad happens. I just hope you don't vacate too many cranhouses if you can.

"It was just fine. Arc, can you lend me some money?

"Huh?"

The most powerful man in "The First Step" saw me with a misplaced look.
