Vermillion

It's nightfall, and everyone at the Cornwell Chamber of Commerce is having dinner with me.

I put up a tent near the carriage and thought about contacting Eileen, but Kay had a visitor.

"Hey, you're here."

A man in his early thirties holding a pot of sake in one hand.The square face is impressive - it looks even more like it is because it has a short brown hair and a corner cut.The lights of the nighttime bonfire cast a dark shadow over the smiling face of the lover.The dark eyes could only see Kei in the dimness.

Randall called himself the "drug dealer of the Grand Duchy."

"Are you really here..."

Kaye greeted her without concealing her surprise.I said, "I'll visit you later," but I didn't expect you to come so soon.

"Didn't I just say that? There are a lot of stories to be had, so let's talk while drinking."

Outside the tent, Randall sits down on a stump and suggests a wooden goblet to Kay.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm fasting right now."

However, Kai raised his hand slightly and pushed it to stop, revealing a dazzling face.

Why again?

"My wife is pregnant and she refuses to drink... so I don't even drink to share the pain."

"Hey! Were you married?"And besides, you're talking about babies... is my wife that girl? "

Randall rolled his eyes and stepped out.

"I don't know which girl, but it's Eileen."

"Huh! Hahaha, that one's not good."Congratulations. I can't even put Kay in the corner! ”

Kaye thought as she smiled at Randall, who was clashing her elbows.

(Don't you know I'm married and Eileen's pregnant...?)

I thought the Duke knew everything.Isn't your boss the Chancellor?Or have you only shared such detailed information with the people on the scene?... it's not that strange considering Kay's importance.

(... or just pretending not to know)

To Kaye's eyes, Randall seemed really surprised, but if you're behind the scenes, you'd be a tea boy.

However, even in a foreign language environment, Kai is dull (...) (...). Unlike her mother tongue, she can't read the fine nuances that permeate behind the other person's words.

But I don't know what it means to pretend not to know here.

(Well, I don't care which one)

Kaye speculates that Randall is the one who protects his son.At least I'm not a songwriter for a son.If Kay was a "suspicious person" at the level Kai would have noticed, he would have been disciplined by the prince's side sooner.

At a time when you can visit Hoi Hoi and Kai, you can think of it as white.

"Are you done with your work?"

"I'm busy right now."

I spied casually, but it returned lightly. ".... Well, well.....

Either way, the Duchy's personnel can't know about Petit Bird.

That communication magic tool is too dangerous.I'd like to get in touch with Eileen as soon as possible, and I'd like to ask you just what you want to know, and I'd like you to pick it up.

"If you're free, it's just fine, well, have a drink."I just enjoy watching people swallow it. "

Kay offers a jerky full of spices, saying things she doesn't even know about, such as, "I've got a pinch."

"Oh, right? Well, well, I can't help it, let's not be told that much, huh?"

Randall gladly grabbed the jerky and began to pour the clear spirits into the goblet.

It must have been some kind of intention that I came to talk to Kay this evening.You must have had the guts to lighten your mouth with alcohol... but without such an opportunity, you can't drink alcohol from Randall's point of view.

"I'm sorry, I'm the only one."

Randall's eyes narrow as he holds up his goblet poured with distilled liquor.I feel that we are in harmony with each other's plans.Randall may have brought out some fine liquor before he could lighten Kay's mouth with liquor.

Well, I have this, so don't worry about it.

What the hell, you're swallowing it too, aren't you?

"There's nothing we can do about this."

Kay took out a leather bag of booze.Pour it into the goblet.

This is Nokan. It's not alcohol.That's what the agreement with Eileen stipulated.Because it's so low, it's hardly different from water for Kay, whose [physical enhancement] crest also enhances her resistance to poison.Unless it's full of barrels.

In addition, clean drinking water is not always available during the march.Hygiene issues also force you to rehydrate with alcohol and wine.

So I can't help it. Besides, what Eileen calls "sake" is strong spirits like vodka.This is grape juice. It's grape juice, so it's no-can.

"Here's to the reunion."

Cheers to the fat Guardian Hunter!

Knock, knock, goblet, gooey.

Ahh, don't come back to life ~

Randall tastes the jerky fizzily and pours spirits into it to show his blissful face.It doesn't look like anyone from behind the Duke.....

You can't just end up with a booze boost.

Even Kaye is concerned about the trend of the Gabriellov Chamber of Commerce after she left.

So, what happened after that?

Try to get ahead of the game and get to the point.

"It was a big fuss. Pyotr, who was thought to be dead in nine out of ten, came back to life."

Randall answers with the same tone.

"I wanted to show you a lot of Gainriff's panic."There are a lot of people who can't escape because they hit you so hard... their attitudes are on the shelves. "

With a slightly unpleasant face, I snort my shoes and throat and laugh.Kay smiled unexpectedly.The wind to the other side was strong, and the escort of the merchants in the northern land could not be said to be a flattering memory.

Even so, Piotr, who treated Kay personally, and his companions were taking a sip of the soothing agent.

What happened to Piotr?

"I couldn't believe I was recovering."You woke up, listened to the end of things, and regretted that you wanted to thank Kay more. "

"I see..."

At that moment, Randall stopped tilting his hand, as he had suddenly remembered.

"Speaking of which, I didn't properly thank you either."Thank you so much, Kay. Without you, I would have been bones in a foreign land by now.You really saved my life. "

“You're welcome. I wanted to help myself.”

After a spectacular horse-riding battle with the horse bandits, a subsequent magic battle with the enemy magician, and a disgusting post-war treatment and farewell to Piotr, Kaye shook her head and poured grape juice into her mouth.

”... fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

…………

Looking up at the night sky and looking at Kaye's sighing side, Randall is inclined to think.

"Piotr also told me that if I ever meet Kay again, he would tell me that he is truly grateful."

"I see.... he helped me a lot, I'm glad I did."

"... no, no, it's a big payback."I wish I could punish you and be nice to the Gainriffs, except for my own body. "

Randall laughed bitterly in a tone that seemed unexpected.

"--But what kind of magic (...) method was that?"

Here it comes.

"... no, what? As a drug dealer, I'm also interested."

It seems that the setting is still valid.

Thank you. This is magic, too.

Kaye pushes her hand into her pocket with an ungrateful face.I let Randall see the ointment in the can.

What's this?

[Abyss Pioneer] smashed ointment

Huh?

Randall gazes at the can in his hand, opens the lid, and rolls his eyes in a pale cream ointment.His eyes, which he observed carefully, were completely turned into the 'man of the sword'.

"With this, how many scratches...?"

No? Of course not. I used magic potion at the time.

"... potions"

Randall seemed to be lost in what kind of expression he should have as he rummaged through the words.

"I made you drink the potions with your mouth."Of course, the battle and Pyotr's treatment ran out.

The ointment was made from leftovers.

"Eileen and I used to dive in the [Abyss (Abyss)]."I was really lucky and I had all the ingredients. ”

"You used such valuable things for others a lot..."

"I'm lost, but Piotr was never abandoned, and I don't regret it."

Kay speaks with a clear face.... but I still had a few hypo-portions left.

"Han.... but if you were to be taken out on a flying dragon hunt like this, it would be better to spare it."

I hid my voice and asked jokingly, but I seemed to be looking out for Kay if she still had it.

Kay replied, shrugging her shoulders in embarrassment as she predicted it.

"Even if you keep it, I don't think it will be useful for the Dragon opponent."Either he survives without any injuries, or he's blacked out, or he's torn apart. "

"That's true, too.... well, even if you were to have a strong-armed user like Kaye, a merchant like me (...) (...) would be a relief."

Somewhere white, Randall laughed and said.

"... it's nice to know that a young drug dealer is supporting me."

Kay responded to it in a whitish manner.

"By the way, is the (...) sale (...) in the (...) order (...)?"

"Well, that's bumpy." I'm also now a genus in the [...] Chamber of Commerce, so it's easy to feel at ease that you don't have to do the chopping on your own. "

"Oh, you're not independent anymore... it seems like you've been distributing medicine for commodities in the northern lands, but I was worried that Randall would go bankrupt."

"Oh, listen to me." I really had terrible eyes... and after that, I was given a reason, and I almost took my medicine, and by the time I got to my destination in Belyansk, I had only perfume... "

After that, Randall told me that he was only talking about his struggle as a merchant.

Kay was also curious to hear, but her desire to contact Eileen grew so much that she gave Randall a drink and opened it because she wanted to "rest because she was tired" when it was empty.

"Thank you. I'll make you a delicious drink."

"Oh my God, it's been a long time since I've had the pleasure of talking to you."

Randall's face was blushed as he swallowed the strong spirits.Say goodbye to Kay with a slightly fluttering footsteps.

Suddenly.

Under the moonlight, Randall stopped and looked back.

"That's why I have people I can rely on right now."If anything happens to Kay, let me know and I might be able to help. "

”Oh, oh... I'll remember that, thank you”

I don't really want to get involved, but Kay replied with a smile.

"Well, if anything happens again, I'll come and talk to you... bye-bye"

With a fluttering wave, Randall disappeared into the darkness.

(If anything happens again, will you come and talk to me...?)

Kaye sends off her back with a subtly sinister look on her face.

Did you decide that you were lost in the dark? Where did the hound's legs go? With a nimble motion, they left without footsteps.

With moonlight and even the light of a bonfire, this level of darkness doesn't make sense in front of Kaye, but Randall has no way of knowing.

(Troublesome fellow has caught my eye)

Kay was the one who forced me to stop, so until I got what I deserved.

Kaye, who was shaking her head, had to dive straight into the tent with Aileen, her beloved, in order to get in touch with her.
