An Elegant Noble's Guide to Vacations
Chapter 10 Liesel walks the street alone.
The storefronts on this street are slightly more advanced than the streets lined with stalls.A small sign said "Our store has confidence in authentication technology." Lieser recognized the lack of confidence in the handwriting and walked into the store.
As usual, there is only one clerk in the store, and there is no idle time to organize the products on the shelves.The hard-working appearance made people smile, and Lieser quietly closed the door.
"Jagi." "Master Lieser!" "Isn't it?" Good," smiling.
Every time he sneaks into the maze and obtains a maze item, Lieser will come here to appraise it, and he almost hopes that Jaggy will get used to it.Having said that, Lieser also knew that he kept his distance only because of his polite personality, and he had full admiration for himself in his heart.
"By the way, congratulations to the two of you for forming a team...!" "Well, even you heard about it?" "Yes. The two of you didn't act together today?" "We don't stick together all the time, everyone is My lord." Although this is a shop specially opened for adventurers, even people other than adventurers have heard about the team formation, and it seems that the news has spread more widely than expected.
This is purely due to Jie Er's popularity.When Liesel acted alone, no one would notice that he was a rumored figure, partly because he was not seen as an adventurer at first glance.
Thanks to this, the adventurers who didn't know Liser all insisted: After so long, finally seeing Jieer make a comrade in arms, this person must be an earth-shattering powerhouse.
"...Is the situation... okay?" Since the team started, there have been more adventurers pestering Jie Er.
Most of the adventurers came to ask to join the team, and Jie Er pretended not to see it every day with a face full of impatience.At this time, Lieser was often on the scene, and each adventurer caught his gaze, often took a second look in disbelief, and then forgot to find fault, and just left silently.
"I can defend myself to a certain extent, don't worry." "Is that so...?..." The end of the sentence rose slightly, which seemed to be dubious.After all, I don't look like a powerful figure, and there's nothing I can do about it, Lieser doesn't mind.
Judge looked worried, Liesel smiled reassuringly, and took an hourglass from his fanny pack.
"Let's not talk about this, please help identify this thing." "Ah, yes!" An hourglass the size of a palm was placed in Jagi's hand.
"...This is the 'Insane Hourglass'." "Is it a special hourglass?" "No matter how many times you use it, it can accurately time three minutes." Whether this is powerful or not, Lieser endured I couldn't help but take the hourglass blankly.
Lieser also sneaked into the middle or deep layers of the maze recently, but he hasn't opened anything with decent effects for a long time. The maze items given to him by the treasure chest have no maze flavor.At the beginning, there are teddy bears, and then there are dolls in the shape of maze monsters, tea sets that will not get dirty, wallets that will automatically return to you if stolen, etc., all of which are incredible things that come out of treasure chests.
Recently, every time Lieser finds the treasure chest, Jieer always shows a wicked smile.If the people around him also offered such strange things, he would have no objection, but Jie Er always offered weapons, armor, and rare ores, which was really hard for him to accept.
"The things in the treasure box should be more...how should I put it...but I just can't open it." "I... I saw a lot of strange things, and I feel very happy... yo?" "You are such a good boy." Seeing Jaggie bent down slightly to comfort him, and Liesel stretched out her fingertips to gently stroke his forehead.Being touched by him, Jaggy straightened his back suddenly, and Liesel smiled and put the identified hourglass back into his pocket.
After most adventurers have appraised their props, they usually sell them directly, except for the particularly useful ones, but Lieser always brings these things back, since there are always some uses for them anyway.Thanks to this, Ray's gift was also available.
"Speaking of which, the packaging evaluation last time was very good." "Ah, this... so...!" Jaggy still pressed his head with his hands shyly, and he smiled happily when he heard Lieser say this. .
This store is obviously not particularly big, but for some reason it has everything you need.Before visiting Ray's mansion that day, Lieser also stopped by, the purpose of which was of course to pack the yellow-eyed teddy bear.
Under Jieer's still incomprehensible gaze, Lieser and Judge carefully embellished the gift that day.
"Is that also an item entrustment?" "No, last time it was a gift for Viscount Ray." "Is that so... eh, that..." "He is very happy." Lieser showed a warm smile Smiling, Judge decided to stop thinking about it, it was too scary to think about it any more.
Although Liesel said that he was "just an E-rank adventurer", Jaggida didn't believe it from the beginning, and now he is even more convinced of his own judgment.
"There are a lot of paintings in the Viscount's mansion, all of which are mazes." "Ah, there seem to be a lot of people who collect paintings." "Does people often come to your shop with paintings?" "Sometimes Yes, I'm only in charge of identification." The labyrinth items Jagi bought are sometimes sold directly in the store.
Most of the item shops will keep practical items for sale in their own houses. If you want to obtain useless shallow labyrinth items, you can only request them like Ray did.
Judge was no exception. After all, no one would go to a prop store to buy paintings, so there were no paintings displayed in the shop.
"The viscount's house has a painting by Jieer, which is said to be very expensive." "Brother Jieer's painting..." Jaggy tried to imagine.
The painting shows the scene inside the labyrinth, so it's probably the scene of Jieer fighting a monster.No matter how you think about it, it's scary. I don't dare to hang this kind of painting on the wall.
"(However, if it's Brother Lieser...)" He glanced at Lieser quietly.
When I first met him, the noble temperament submerged, but as soon as I met him, I knew that the temperament had not disappeared.Whether it is the movement of pulling the hair behind the ear, or the leisurely smiling face, it is the most suitable for capturing in the frame.
Liesel has such an aura that no one will be able to take his eyes off the scene of him confronting the monster.Jaggy has his own persistence as an appraiser, but the price that comes to mind at the moment is so high that he doubts whether he is favoring someone close to him.
"Although the viscount said that he also wants my paintings, but no matter how I think about this kind of thing, I feel very embarrassed." "Well, it turns out that there is a way to sell it at this price..." "Jie Er was very shy when he saw it, really. Interesting... um, Jaggie?" "Huh!" Finding himself muttering inadvertently, Jaggy blinked suddenly as if waking up.
What's wrong?Liesel looked up at him and asked.Jagi hurriedly said it was all right, and shook his head like a drum, but Lieser stopped pursuing it and smiled slightly when he saw this.
"Then this place only appraises paintings and won't buy them?" "Ah, no, they just don't sell them in the store, but they will still be bought. There are resale channels." "Resale channels?" "There is a special sale of maze products. The shop of the paintings, the purchased paintings will be sold there.” It’s really a shop suitable for crazy lovers, Rey must be very happy to hear that, it’s better to say that he may already know the existence of this shop.
"Is it in the capital?" "No, in the commercial country, the boss is a friend of my grandfather." The so-called commercial country is just a common name.In Ray's mansion, Lieser had just heard this place name.
The royal capital of Parutda, the commercial country of Makaed, and the magic mine country of Kavana are the three largest cities in this country.Although the latter two are called "countries", in fact they are both cities, but because they have independent functions in nature, people use this metaphor.
"Is the commercial country far from here?" "No, it's not that far... It takes about five days to get there by carriage." "Is it fun over there?" "Well, it's very lively, there are everything, tourists There seem to be a lot of them.” Like painting specialty stores, there are all kinds of businesses that can make money in Makade, and new types of business are also born one after another. Therefore, fierce competition among merchants and stores is also a characteristic of Makade where.
It seemed to be a bustling and vibrant city, Liesel nodded after hearing that.Although in Jie Er's mouth, it is a noisy and chaotic city where you can't rest.
"...Brother Lieser, are you planning to go to Makaide?" "Hey, why do you ask that?" Jagi suddenly said hesitantly, as if he was embarrassed to speak directly.
"Well, actually, my grandfather lives in Markaide." "Ah, is that the previous store owner that Jieer mentioned?" Jaggy nodded upon hearing Lieser's words.
His height even surpassed the tall Jie Er, but his movements were like small animals.Doesn't look out of place at all, is it because of the vibe that Judge gives off, or is it because he has a little baby face?Jie Er always said that luckily this guy didn't look like that old man.
"That...!" "Yeah." Jagi hesitated, his eyes wandered around for a while, and finally looked at Liesel timidly.
"I'm going to visit grandpa recently, so...if it's convenient..." Jaggy lost confidence as he spoke, Liesel waited quietly beside him.He had already noticed what Jaggy wanted to say, but Lieser didn't dote on the juniors that much, and didn't intend to help in everything.
"If you two plan to go to Markade, I hope you will serve as my guards and go there with me!" "However, I haven't accepted the guard commission yet? It's better to find experienced adventurers." Searle was right, and Jaggie wailed softly and closed his mouth.
It would be no problem if he just accepted the guard entrustment.Liesel's personal class is E, but after forming a team with Jie Er, he is also considered to be equivalent to the D-rank of the team rank, and can accept the C-rank guard entrustment.
Personal commissions must also go through the guild, because commissions that the guild has not handled will not be counted in the adventurer's completed commissions.
If you want to privately entrust an adventurer to help you, you will do so in the form of a named entrustment.
"(No problem for me.)" Lieser thought as he looked at Judge who was fumbling and hemming as he searched for words.
He had already thought that he would meet Markade once, and Jaggie was in business, had his own carriage, and also had friendship with him, so it would be very comfortable and pleasant to be his guard.But for his own good, Lieser still thinks that an adventurer who is accustomed to serving as a bodyguard is more suitable, after all, Jieer also said that he rarely accepts bodyguard commissions.
"Aren't you unwilling...?" "No, you don't want to. Come on, don't put on that expression." He always felt that Jaggy's chestnut curly hair tied behind his back looked a little listless, and he looked at Lieser with his head downcast .Liesel reached out and stroked his cheek slowly.
The corners of the eyes that were about to cry were hot and a little red.Lieser put his thumb on his head to cool down, and Judge narrowed his eyes, looking comfortable.
"What do you usually do? There may be times when you need to buy." "There are a few adventurers I have known since my grandfather managed the store, and sometimes they come to patronize. I always ask them for help." "Why don't you ask for help?" What about the guild's entrustment?" "...I don't want to find those... who are attracted by the reputation of this store." Jagi's grandfather made the store prosperous within one generation, and is a true businessman.
There is absolutely no low-quality goods sold here, so the price has a certain threshold, and low-level adventurers are almost out of this store.But the appraisal vision is accurate, and you can buy everything if you ask the boss, so the evaluation among the experts who know the goods is quite excellent.
"(Is it still too difficult for Jagi to treat this as a kind of publicity...)" For Jagi, the existence of grandfather is too huge.Just based on what Lieser heard from Jieer, it was understandable, after all, the shopkeepers of the previous generation were not ordinary people.
Liesel thinks that considering the character of the shop owner of the previous generation, even if he is his beloved grandson, he will not let an incompetent idiot inherit the shop, so Jaggy should be more confident.
"That's right, I understand how you feel." Jagi planned to visit without relying on his grandfather's contacts, presumably to prove that he had become a businessman in his own right and wanted to cultivate self-confidence.
That being the case, we should work harder to hire adventurers.If it comes to this point, is it too harsh on him?Lieser took his hand away from Judge's cheek and smiled.
"No matter what, you don't want to find other adventurers?" "It's not to the point of...however...but..." "But?" Hearing Liesel's gentle and calm question, Jaggie felt that there was still some leftovers. Wen's cheek, turned away to look away.After a while, he didn't turn his face back, but only glanced at Lieser.
"I still hope most...to go with Brother Liesel and you..." The voice squeezed out of the throat was slightly trembling, with a hint of coquettishness.Thinking from the bottom of his heart, Judge really wanted to find a hole to slip in, and he reached out to cover his flushed cheeks.
He was so embarrassed that he couldn't even stand properly, propped his body up with one hand on the table, and peeked at Lieser tremblingly through his fingers.
There was only a moment of surprise on that face, and then it immediately turned into a helpless smile.Jiaji looked at it and thought, this person is helpless because of this, he desperately supported his body that was about to sit down on the ground.
"...!" It was the spoiled eyesight.
It's because of the bad pampering atmosphere.
Liesel always makes people feel that no matter how coquettish he is, he will be accepted. It's his fault.
Jagi didn't know what he was thinking about his guests, but he couldn't hold himself steady if he didn't think so.Judge is also very desperate.How old are you, what kind of words, he scolded himself in his heart.
"Don't be so shy." "That's right...!" Liesel didn't mind seeing this, and this was probably his only salvation in the shame that was so strong that he couldn't speak.Seeing the trembling of Jaggy's hands covering his face, Lieser couldn't hide his smile and waved to him.
"I'll go back today. As for the matter of guarding, I'll discuss it with Jie Er on the premise of accepting it." Put a few copper coins on the silver tray on the table as the appraisal fee for the hourglass, and then walked out of the shop.
Confirming that he was gone, Judge grabbed the table and crouched unsteadily.He slowly exhaled a trembling breath, and pressed his hot cheeks against the cold table to cool down.
Jaggy just stared at the door panel blankly, recalling the figure of Liesel that he derived through his appraisal vision.
"He should be more than...a gentle person..." Anyway, he has no pretense for his tenderness, so it doesn't matter.Jaggie murmured absently, holding his dead head.
"That's the way it is, so Jagi should come over to us recently to make a commission by name." "Jagi." After walking out of Jagi's item shop, Lieser came directly to the guild without any other plans.
It was just after noon, and it was the time when the number of adventurers decreased.The warm sunlight shone into the guild, and the staff sitting next to Stad started to doze off, having nothing to do.
Incidentally, the moment Liesel stepped into the guild, Stad quickly moved from the novice registration counter to the entrustment counter and sat down.
"Hey, do you know each other?" "We will entrust him to help when there is not enough manpower to appraise the labyrinth." After asking, it turns out that the guild first asked Jia Ji's grandfather for assistance.
The old shop owner was famous for his accurate identification. Hearing this, he brought the young Jaggy to the guild.At that time, Jiaji had already shown his talent, and the identification was quick and accurate. The guild was a little uneasy at first, but after seeing his strength, he welcomed him.
"Let's say we are the same age, so we have a lot of opportunities to talk in various aspects." It can also be said that because the young Stad never took the initiative to communicate with his surroundings, the adults around him urged him to interact with Judge.
"It seems that you are on good terms." "Too familiar to him, I can't stand his lack of self-confidence, so it's kind of friendship." Stadt never lied, never evaded perfunctory, and would only tell the truth indifferently.In other words, it means that he agrees with Judge's appraisal vision, Lieser's eyes can't help revealing a bit of a smile.
Stard stared at the expression on Liesel's face, and suddenly spoke.
"You're going to Markade?" "Huh?" Liesel replied, but Stadt paused.When talking to him, the response is always quick and immediate, like a reflex, which is really rare.
"Does it mean that you intend to move the base..." Stad murmured, still with a deadpan face, staring straight at Liesel.Stronghold, Lieser repeated in his heart.
It seems that Stadt thought that Lieser planned to transfer his position to Markade, and would not return to the capital.It is true that adventurers seldom stay in the same city continuously, but Liesel does not plan to change bases yet.
"No, I just came back after going sightseeing. After all, I haven't been there."Liesel stroked his hair.
It was absurd and funny to accept the head touching with a blank face, but it was not disgusting, so Liesel didn't mind, and combed his smooth hair with fingertips.Stard spoke thoughtfully.
"But we still can't see each other for the time being." "Stade?" What's wrong?Liesel asked aloud, and Stad just replied with a question as if nothing had happened.
"Are you going to accept the commission today?" Hearing Lieser's negative answer, Stad stood up abruptly.
"Next is my rest time, I would like to ask you to accompany me out for a while." "If you don't dislike it, of course." Lieser accepted his proposal with a smile on his face, and looked at the astonished staff behind him.Any questions?He tilted his head slightly, and all the staff looked at it with all their strength and gesticulated in denial, and sent them out with a gesture of please, please.
Could it be... Lieser looked at the staff's reaction and asked Stad a question.
"...Stade, do you rarely rest?" "If you are not tired, there is no need to rest." He really guessed it.
Normally, even if other employees urged him to take a break, Stad would not appreciate it, but now he took the initiative to arrange a break.While many staff members were surprised, they understood the reason when they saw Lieser's figure, especially the senior staff who had served in the guild for a long time, they were even more moved.
The more junior staff watched the changes in Stad with a bit of a spectacle mentality.Like the employee who was dozing off next to Stad just now, he didn't hide the meaningful smile on his face.
"Let's go outside, please wait a moment." "Just take your time." Lieser watched Stad walk in the back with an indifferent expression.It seems that he kicked his chair when he passed by the staff next door. Is it an illusion?
"(It's just that the emotions are not shown, it's really straightforward.)" Lieser thought with a smile, and left the counter.
He walked through the inside of the guild where there were few adventurers, and came to the entrustment notice board.I don't know if there is any suitable commission, he just thought so, and was about to browse the first commission when Stadt came back.
"We've been waiting for a long time, let's go." He was still wearing the uniform of the guild staff, but he didn't see the badge that was usually pinned to the collar.There is no Stadt standing on the other side of the counter, which looks a bit fresh.
"Have you figured out where to go?" "There is a delicious coffee shop nearby, is that okay?" After answering, he walked out of the guild without saying a word.
It seems that he is very happy.In a sense, Lieser felt that his mood was quite understandable, but it was always difficult to get other people's approval, after all, Stadt's mood rarely had positive fluctuations.
As Stard said, that store is nearby, a 2 minute walk from the Guild.
Just standing at the door of the store, the aroma of coffee beans can be faintly heard.Stard opened the door, said please come in, and invited Lieser to enter the store.As soon as he stepped into the store, he was greeted by a comfortable space decorated with wood.
The interior is not spacious, and there are already a few tables of guests sitting here and there.The two sat opposite each other at the table and ordered a cup of coffee each.
"It's an incredible feeling to see Stad outside the guild." "Isn't it too cheeky to talk to you outside of business?" "No, I'm very happy." Liesel smiled slightly.Stard nodded, replied "Is that so", and looked at Liesel's hand on the table.Noticing his gaze, Liesel unwrapped his intertwined fingers, and showed him by spreading both palms up on the table.
Stard stretched out a hand, fingertips from one of the palms, stroking the top of the wrist.Although Lieser felt a little itchy, he was still at his mercy. Stud glanced at him, his eyes fell on the wrist, and there seemed to be a little satisfaction in his eyes.
"The bruises are gone." "Jie Er wasn't serious in the first place." "If that Yi Dao is really crying and begging for mercy, I really want to see it." The clerk brought two cups of coffee, and Stad let go of his hands .
Liesel took it with a smile, it seemed that he didn't intend to tell the truth.Stad also thought, since he didn't deny it, maybe it was true.
But with Liesel's personality, it's not surprising whether it's true or not.
While thinking, he looked at Lieser who was sipping his coffee.
"It's delicious." "It's great if it suits your taste." Feeling Lieser's words gradually aroused his mood, Stud also took a sip of coffee.
Stad would come to this coffee shop most of the time when the other staff forced him to rest.He'd never brought anyone with him, but he didn't regret inviting Liesel with him.
All he felt was an incredible sense of ease, and Stadt naturally enjoyed this unprecedented feeling.
"Hey, are you the kid who teamed up with Yidao?" Because of this, when this kind of person disrupted the situation, Stad was extremely displeased.
"I thought it was a strong man, I didn't expect it." "Did you pay him to form a team with you? I advise you not to show off like this. You don't deserve it." The bell at the door of the shop "ding bell "Bell" rang, and three adventurers entered through the door.
They must have seen Lieser from the large window with good lighting, and after confirming that Jieer was not there, they came in to pester him.
Lieser remained calm, and only looked around the store with his eyes.Why pick such a place, he sighed.There are other customers in the store, so if you want to find fault, you shouldn't mess around in this kind of place.
"Let's talk outside if you have anything to say. Stud, I'm sorry, next time..." "I don't want to, I want to stay with you." Liesel was about to get up, but Stud stopped him.
The expression on his face was calm, but his voice was just the opposite. It was dangerously threatening, and he made no effort to hide his displeasure. He grabbed Lieser's arm to keep him.
Lieser couldn't help showing a wry smile in embarrassment.It was the first time to see him so frankly, although it was endearing, but he didn't intend to hurt Stad.
"Stade, I will definitely accompany you again next time." "I want you to accompany me now." "Be obedient, okay?" "As long as I can keep you here, no matter how capricious I become It doesn't matter." Seeing Stard say these words indifferently, the three men widened their eyes, as if they saw an impossible vision.In fact, it was true, and this scene could not have happened before meeting Lieser.
"...Hey, hey, are you too arrogant for leaving people aside?" Seeing the two ignoring them and talking to themselves, the adventurers forced themselves to suppress the wavering in their hearts, and said irritablely.One of them slammed his fist on the table with a "bang", and with the blunt knocking sound, the cups and plates also rattled and shook.
"Little devil, are you and this kid very close, huh? Figure it out, we are the ones talking about..." "Yeah, very close." The atmosphere around Stard suddenly changed, making one's hair stand on end.
Those eyes were no longer the indifferent, deep but longing eyes when looking at Lieser.The sharp gaze commensurate with the title of "absolute zero" shot at the man, and the flowing magic power took away the surrounding temperature, making people feel that there was an unstoppable ice blade on their neck.
"So if you dare to disturb the situation, I can't guarantee your safety." "...!!" With a snap, icicles burst out from Stard's fingertips touching the table, attacking the man's fist, and the ice crystals caught him off guard Thick arms.
A convulsive sound came out of the man's throat, and he hurriedly pulled his stinging arm away from the table, followed by the sound of shattered ice peeling off.Although the arm was off the table, it was completely frozen from the elbow down.
"Hey, this is...how..." "Wait, don't touch it!" He wanted to remove the ice crystals on his arm, but it exuded a frightening coldness, as if even his fingers touching the ice crystals would freeze together, man Suddenly at a loss, his face was ashen.
"If you don't warm up quickly, the whole arm will be cut off." The adventurers were stunned, and Stard never looked at them again, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.It would be bad if there was a commotion here, Lieser smiled wryly, and tried to persuade him from the side.
"Sudden rise in temperature will be dangerous, remember to warm up slowly." Hearing this sentence, the men suddenly came back to their senses.They seemed to realize that this was not a joke, and that their arms were really in danger. They screamed silently and ran out of the store in a panic.
But judging by that level, it shouldn't be a big deal if you don't put it on hold for too long.Liesel watched the adventurers run away through the large window, then turned his head, and spoke to the customers who were looking at the store tremblingly.
"Sorry to bother everyone." Seeing Lieser's apologetic smile, the guests present also heaved a sigh of relief, and the store returned to its original atmosphere.Fortunately, those few adventurers blocked their table, and the other guests didn't see what happened.Is it better to leave?Liesel looked at the owner of the coffee shop, who smiled slightly and shook his head at him.
"It's really a nice shop." Stard was rattling away the ice crumbs on the table, when he heard Liesel speak, he looked up at him.
"However, you can't do dangerous things, Stud." "Will you hate me?" "No, I'm just worried about you." "I'm so happy." After realizing that he was better than Liesel, Stard was no longer polite.Of course, he didn't mean to be polite before, but after realizing it, he expressed his affection more directly.
Seeing Stard's slightly satisfied expression, Liesel showed a helpless smile and reached out to him.
Illustration p183 This dinner, Lieser and Jier happened to eat at the same time.
"I don't know why, the young children seem to like me." "You didn't realize it, it's too exaggerated." Recalling the situation of this day, Liser said this to Jieer, but he was merciless face-to-face accusations.Of course, when Liesel interacted with them, he intended to cultivate a friendly relationship as much as possible, but even considering this, he still felt that he was particularly liked by them.
"Well, but when I meet a child who I love so much, I might really be more pampered." "...I'm too lazy to complain." "What do you mean?" Seeing Jie Er frowned, Lieser also expressed dissatisfaction talk back.Having said that, he continued to speak and mentioned the entrustment of Jagi's guards.
As usual, there is only one clerk in the store, and there is no idle time to organize the products on the shelves.The hard-working appearance made people smile, and Lieser quietly closed the door.
"Jagi." "Master Lieser!" "Isn't it?" Good," smiling.
Every time he sneaks into the maze and obtains a maze item, Lieser will come here to appraise it, and he almost hopes that Jaggy will get used to it.Having said that, Lieser also knew that he kept his distance only because of his polite personality, and he had full admiration for himself in his heart.
"By the way, congratulations to the two of you for forming a team...!" "Well, even you heard about it?" "Yes. The two of you didn't act together today?" "We don't stick together all the time, everyone is My lord." Although this is a shop specially opened for adventurers, even people other than adventurers have heard about the team formation, and it seems that the news has spread more widely than expected.
This is purely due to Jie Er's popularity.When Liesel acted alone, no one would notice that he was a rumored figure, partly because he was not seen as an adventurer at first glance.
Thanks to this, the adventurers who didn't know Liser all insisted: After so long, finally seeing Jieer make a comrade in arms, this person must be an earth-shattering powerhouse.
"...Is the situation... okay?" Since the team started, there have been more adventurers pestering Jie Er.
Most of the adventurers came to ask to join the team, and Jie Er pretended not to see it every day with a face full of impatience.At this time, Lieser was often on the scene, and each adventurer caught his gaze, often took a second look in disbelief, and then forgot to find fault, and just left silently.
"I can defend myself to a certain extent, don't worry." "Is that so...?..." The end of the sentence rose slightly, which seemed to be dubious.After all, I don't look like a powerful figure, and there's nothing I can do about it, Lieser doesn't mind.
Judge looked worried, Liesel smiled reassuringly, and took an hourglass from his fanny pack.
"Let's not talk about this, please help identify this thing." "Ah, yes!" An hourglass the size of a palm was placed in Jagi's hand.
"...This is the 'Insane Hourglass'." "Is it a special hourglass?" "No matter how many times you use it, it can accurately time three minutes." Whether this is powerful or not, Lieser endured I couldn't help but take the hourglass blankly.
Lieser also sneaked into the middle or deep layers of the maze recently, but he hasn't opened anything with decent effects for a long time. The maze items given to him by the treasure chest have no maze flavor.At the beginning, there are teddy bears, and then there are dolls in the shape of maze monsters, tea sets that will not get dirty, wallets that will automatically return to you if stolen, etc., all of which are incredible things that come out of treasure chests.
Recently, every time Lieser finds the treasure chest, Jieer always shows a wicked smile.If the people around him also offered such strange things, he would have no objection, but Jie Er always offered weapons, armor, and rare ores, which was really hard for him to accept.
"The things in the treasure box should be more...how should I put it...but I just can't open it." "I... I saw a lot of strange things, and I feel very happy... yo?" "You are such a good boy." Seeing Jaggie bent down slightly to comfort him, and Liesel stretched out her fingertips to gently stroke his forehead.Being touched by him, Jaggy straightened his back suddenly, and Liesel smiled and put the identified hourglass back into his pocket.
After most adventurers have appraised their props, they usually sell them directly, except for the particularly useful ones, but Lieser always brings these things back, since there are always some uses for them anyway.Thanks to this, Ray's gift was also available.
"Speaking of which, the packaging evaluation last time was very good." "Ah, this... so...!" Jaggy still pressed his head with his hands shyly, and he smiled happily when he heard Lieser say this. .
This store is obviously not particularly big, but for some reason it has everything you need.Before visiting Ray's mansion that day, Lieser also stopped by, the purpose of which was of course to pack the yellow-eyed teddy bear.
Under Jieer's still incomprehensible gaze, Lieser and Judge carefully embellished the gift that day.
"Is that also an item entrustment?" "No, last time it was a gift for Viscount Ray." "Is that so... eh, that..." "He is very happy." Lieser showed a warm smile Smiling, Judge decided to stop thinking about it, it was too scary to think about it any more.
Although Liesel said that he was "just an E-rank adventurer", Jaggida didn't believe it from the beginning, and now he is even more convinced of his own judgment.
"There are a lot of paintings in the Viscount's mansion, all of which are mazes." "Ah, there seem to be a lot of people who collect paintings." "Does people often come to your shop with paintings?" "Sometimes Yes, I'm only in charge of identification." The labyrinth items Jagi bought are sometimes sold directly in the store.
Most of the item shops will keep practical items for sale in their own houses. If you want to obtain useless shallow labyrinth items, you can only request them like Ray did.
Judge was no exception. After all, no one would go to a prop store to buy paintings, so there were no paintings displayed in the shop.
"The viscount's house has a painting by Jieer, which is said to be very expensive." "Brother Jieer's painting..." Jaggy tried to imagine.
The painting shows the scene inside the labyrinth, so it's probably the scene of Jieer fighting a monster.No matter how you think about it, it's scary. I don't dare to hang this kind of painting on the wall.
"(However, if it's Brother Lieser...)" He glanced at Lieser quietly.
When I first met him, the noble temperament submerged, but as soon as I met him, I knew that the temperament had not disappeared.Whether it is the movement of pulling the hair behind the ear, or the leisurely smiling face, it is the most suitable for capturing in the frame.
Liesel has such an aura that no one will be able to take his eyes off the scene of him confronting the monster.Jaggy has his own persistence as an appraiser, but the price that comes to mind at the moment is so high that he doubts whether he is favoring someone close to him.
"Although the viscount said that he also wants my paintings, but no matter how I think about this kind of thing, I feel very embarrassed." "Well, it turns out that there is a way to sell it at this price..." "Jie Er was very shy when he saw it, really. Interesting... um, Jaggie?" "Huh!" Finding himself muttering inadvertently, Jaggy blinked suddenly as if waking up.
What's wrong?Liesel looked up at him and asked.Jagi hurriedly said it was all right, and shook his head like a drum, but Lieser stopped pursuing it and smiled slightly when he saw this.
"Then this place only appraises paintings and won't buy them?" "Ah, no, they just don't sell them in the store, but they will still be bought. There are resale channels." "Resale channels?" "There is a special sale of maze products. The shop of the paintings, the purchased paintings will be sold there.” It’s really a shop suitable for crazy lovers, Rey must be very happy to hear that, it’s better to say that he may already know the existence of this shop.
"Is it in the capital?" "No, in the commercial country, the boss is a friend of my grandfather." The so-called commercial country is just a common name.In Ray's mansion, Lieser had just heard this place name.
The royal capital of Parutda, the commercial country of Makaed, and the magic mine country of Kavana are the three largest cities in this country.Although the latter two are called "countries", in fact they are both cities, but because they have independent functions in nature, people use this metaphor.
"Is the commercial country far from here?" "No, it's not that far... It takes about five days to get there by carriage." "Is it fun over there?" "Well, it's very lively, there are everything, tourists There seem to be a lot of them.” Like painting specialty stores, there are all kinds of businesses that can make money in Makade, and new types of business are also born one after another. Therefore, fierce competition among merchants and stores is also a characteristic of Makade where.
It seemed to be a bustling and vibrant city, Liesel nodded after hearing that.Although in Jie Er's mouth, it is a noisy and chaotic city where you can't rest.
"...Brother Lieser, are you planning to go to Makaide?" "Hey, why do you ask that?" Jagi suddenly said hesitantly, as if he was embarrassed to speak directly.
"Well, actually, my grandfather lives in Markaide." "Ah, is that the previous store owner that Jieer mentioned?" Jaggy nodded upon hearing Lieser's words.
His height even surpassed the tall Jie Er, but his movements were like small animals.Doesn't look out of place at all, is it because of the vibe that Judge gives off, or is it because he has a little baby face?Jie Er always said that luckily this guy didn't look like that old man.
"That...!" "Yeah." Jagi hesitated, his eyes wandered around for a while, and finally looked at Liesel timidly.
"I'm going to visit grandpa recently, so...if it's convenient..." Jaggy lost confidence as he spoke, Liesel waited quietly beside him.He had already noticed what Jaggy wanted to say, but Lieser didn't dote on the juniors that much, and didn't intend to help in everything.
"If you two plan to go to Markade, I hope you will serve as my guards and go there with me!" "However, I haven't accepted the guard commission yet? It's better to find experienced adventurers." Searle was right, and Jaggie wailed softly and closed his mouth.
It would be no problem if he just accepted the guard entrustment.Liesel's personal class is E, but after forming a team with Jie Er, he is also considered to be equivalent to the D-rank of the team rank, and can accept the C-rank guard entrustment.
Personal commissions must also go through the guild, because commissions that the guild has not handled will not be counted in the adventurer's completed commissions.
If you want to privately entrust an adventurer to help you, you will do so in the form of a named entrustment.
"(No problem for me.)" Lieser thought as he looked at Judge who was fumbling and hemming as he searched for words.
He had already thought that he would meet Markade once, and Jaggie was in business, had his own carriage, and also had friendship with him, so it would be very comfortable and pleasant to be his guard.But for his own good, Lieser still thinks that an adventurer who is accustomed to serving as a bodyguard is more suitable, after all, Jieer also said that he rarely accepts bodyguard commissions.
"Aren't you unwilling...?" "No, you don't want to. Come on, don't put on that expression." He always felt that Jaggy's chestnut curly hair tied behind his back looked a little listless, and he looked at Lieser with his head downcast .Liesel reached out and stroked his cheek slowly.
The corners of the eyes that were about to cry were hot and a little red.Lieser put his thumb on his head to cool down, and Judge narrowed his eyes, looking comfortable.
"What do you usually do? There may be times when you need to buy." "There are a few adventurers I have known since my grandfather managed the store, and sometimes they come to patronize. I always ask them for help." "Why don't you ask for help?" What about the guild's entrustment?" "...I don't want to find those... who are attracted by the reputation of this store." Jagi's grandfather made the store prosperous within one generation, and is a true businessman.
There is absolutely no low-quality goods sold here, so the price has a certain threshold, and low-level adventurers are almost out of this store.But the appraisal vision is accurate, and you can buy everything if you ask the boss, so the evaluation among the experts who know the goods is quite excellent.
"(Is it still too difficult for Jagi to treat this as a kind of publicity...)" For Jagi, the existence of grandfather is too huge.Just based on what Lieser heard from Jieer, it was understandable, after all, the shopkeepers of the previous generation were not ordinary people.
Liesel thinks that considering the character of the shop owner of the previous generation, even if he is his beloved grandson, he will not let an incompetent idiot inherit the shop, so Jaggy should be more confident.
"That's right, I understand how you feel." Jagi planned to visit without relying on his grandfather's contacts, presumably to prove that he had become a businessman in his own right and wanted to cultivate self-confidence.
That being the case, we should work harder to hire adventurers.If it comes to this point, is it too harsh on him?Lieser took his hand away from Judge's cheek and smiled.
"No matter what, you don't want to find other adventurers?" "It's not to the point of...however...but..." "But?" Hearing Liesel's gentle and calm question, Jaggie felt that there was still some leftovers. Wen's cheek, turned away to look away.After a while, he didn't turn his face back, but only glanced at Lieser.
"I still hope most...to go with Brother Liesel and you..." The voice squeezed out of the throat was slightly trembling, with a hint of coquettishness.Thinking from the bottom of his heart, Judge really wanted to find a hole to slip in, and he reached out to cover his flushed cheeks.
He was so embarrassed that he couldn't even stand properly, propped his body up with one hand on the table, and peeked at Lieser tremblingly through his fingers.
There was only a moment of surprise on that face, and then it immediately turned into a helpless smile.Jiaji looked at it and thought, this person is helpless because of this, he desperately supported his body that was about to sit down on the ground.
"...!" It was the spoiled eyesight.
It's because of the bad pampering atmosphere.
Liesel always makes people feel that no matter how coquettish he is, he will be accepted. It's his fault.
Jagi didn't know what he was thinking about his guests, but he couldn't hold himself steady if he didn't think so.Judge is also very desperate.How old are you, what kind of words, he scolded himself in his heart.
"Don't be so shy." "That's right...!" Liesel didn't mind seeing this, and this was probably his only salvation in the shame that was so strong that he couldn't speak.Seeing the trembling of Jaggy's hands covering his face, Lieser couldn't hide his smile and waved to him.
"I'll go back today. As for the matter of guarding, I'll discuss it with Jie Er on the premise of accepting it." Put a few copper coins on the silver tray on the table as the appraisal fee for the hourglass, and then walked out of the shop.
Confirming that he was gone, Judge grabbed the table and crouched unsteadily.He slowly exhaled a trembling breath, and pressed his hot cheeks against the cold table to cool down.
Jaggy just stared at the door panel blankly, recalling the figure of Liesel that he derived through his appraisal vision.
"He should be more than...a gentle person..." Anyway, he has no pretense for his tenderness, so it doesn't matter.Jaggie murmured absently, holding his dead head.
"That's the way it is, so Jagi should come over to us recently to make a commission by name." "Jagi." After walking out of Jagi's item shop, Lieser came directly to the guild without any other plans.
It was just after noon, and it was the time when the number of adventurers decreased.The warm sunlight shone into the guild, and the staff sitting next to Stad started to doze off, having nothing to do.
Incidentally, the moment Liesel stepped into the guild, Stad quickly moved from the novice registration counter to the entrustment counter and sat down.
"Hey, do you know each other?" "We will entrust him to help when there is not enough manpower to appraise the labyrinth." After asking, it turns out that the guild first asked Jia Ji's grandfather for assistance.
The old shop owner was famous for his accurate identification. Hearing this, he brought the young Jaggy to the guild.At that time, Jiaji had already shown his talent, and the identification was quick and accurate. The guild was a little uneasy at first, but after seeing his strength, he welcomed him.
"Let's say we are the same age, so we have a lot of opportunities to talk in various aspects." It can also be said that because the young Stad never took the initiative to communicate with his surroundings, the adults around him urged him to interact with Judge.
"It seems that you are on good terms." "Too familiar to him, I can't stand his lack of self-confidence, so it's kind of friendship." Stadt never lied, never evaded perfunctory, and would only tell the truth indifferently.In other words, it means that he agrees with Judge's appraisal vision, Lieser's eyes can't help revealing a bit of a smile.
Stard stared at the expression on Liesel's face, and suddenly spoke.
"You're going to Markade?" "Huh?" Liesel replied, but Stadt paused.When talking to him, the response is always quick and immediate, like a reflex, which is really rare.
"Does it mean that you intend to move the base..." Stad murmured, still with a deadpan face, staring straight at Liesel.Stronghold, Lieser repeated in his heart.
It seems that Stadt thought that Lieser planned to transfer his position to Markade, and would not return to the capital.It is true that adventurers seldom stay in the same city continuously, but Liesel does not plan to change bases yet.
"No, I just came back after going sightseeing. After all, I haven't been there."Liesel stroked his hair.
It was absurd and funny to accept the head touching with a blank face, but it was not disgusting, so Liesel didn't mind, and combed his smooth hair with fingertips.Stard spoke thoughtfully.
"But we still can't see each other for the time being." "Stade?" What's wrong?Liesel asked aloud, and Stad just replied with a question as if nothing had happened.
"Are you going to accept the commission today?" Hearing Lieser's negative answer, Stad stood up abruptly.
"Next is my rest time, I would like to ask you to accompany me out for a while." "If you don't dislike it, of course." Lieser accepted his proposal with a smile on his face, and looked at the astonished staff behind him.Any questions?He tilted his head slightly, and all the staff looked at it with all their strength and gesticulated in denial, and sent them out with a gesture of please, please.
Could it be... Lieser looked at the staff's reaction and asked Stad a question.
"...Stade, do you rarely rest?" "If you are not tired, there is no need to rest." He really guessed it.
Normally, even if other employees urged him to take a break, Stad would not appreciate it, but now he took the initiative to arrange a break.While many staff members were surprised, they understood the reason when they saw Lieser's figure, especially the senior staff who had served in the guild for a long time, they were even more moved.
The more junior staff watched the changes in Stad with a bit of a spectacle mentality.Like the employee who was dozing off next to Stad just now, he didn't hide the meaningful smile on his face.
"Let's go outside, please wait a moment." "Just take your time." Lieser watched Stad walk in the back with an indifferent expression.It seems that he kicked his chair when he passed by the staff next door. Is it an illusion?
"(It's just that the emotions are not shown, it's really straightforward.)" Lieser thought with a smile, and left the counter.
He walked through the inside of the guild where there were few adventurers, and came to the entrustment notice board.I don't know if there is any suitable commission, he just thought so, and was about to browse the first commission when Stadt came back.
"We've been waiting for a long time, let's go." He was still wearing the uniform of the guild staff, but he didn't see the badge that was usually pinned to the collar.There is no Stadt standing on the other side of the counter, which looks a bit fresh.
"Have you figured out where to go?" "There is a delicious coffee shop nearby, is that okay?" After answering, he walked out of the guild without saying a word.
It seems that he is very happy.In a sense, Lieser felt that his mood was quite understandable, but it was always difficult to get other people's approval, after all, Stadt's mood rarely had positive fluctuations.
As Stard said, that store is nearby, a 2 minute walk from the Guild.
Just standing at the door of the store, the aroma of coffee beans can be faintly heard.Stard opened the door, said please come in, and invited Lieser to enter the store.As soon as he stepped into the store, he was greeted by a comfortable space decorated with wood.
The interior is not spacious, and there are already a few tables of guests sitting here and there.The two sat opposite each other at the table and ordered a cup of coffee each.
"It's an incredible feeling to see Stad outside the guild." "Isn't it too cheeky to talk to you outside of business?" "No, I'm very happy." Liesel smiled slightly.Stard nodded, replied "Is that so", and looked at Liesel's hand on the table.Noticing his gaze, Liesel unwrapped his intertwined fingers, and showed him by spreading both palms up on the table.
Stard stretched out a hand, fingertips from one of the palms, stroking the top of the wrist.Although Lieser felt a little itchy, he was still at his mercy. Stud glanced at him, his eyes fell on the wrist, and there seemed to be a little satisfaction in his eyes.
"The bruises are gone." "Jie Er wasn't serious in the first place." "If that Yi Dao is really crying and begging for mercy, I really want to see it." The clerk brought two cups of coffee, and Stad let go of his hands .
Liesel took it with a smile, it seemed that he didn't intend to tell the truth.Stad also thought, since he didn't deny it, maybe it was true.
But with Liesel's personality, it's not surprising whether it's true or not.
While thinking, he looked at Lieser who was sipping his coffee.
"It's delicious." "It's great if it suits your taste." Feeling Lieser's words gradually aroused his mood, Stud also took a sip of coffee.
Stad would come to this coffee shop most of the time when the other staff forced him to rest.He'd never brought anyone with him, but he didn't regret inviting Liesel with him.
All he felt was an incredible sense of ease, and Stadt naturally enjoyed this unprecedented feeling.
"Hey, are you the kid who teamed up with Yidao?" Because of this, when this kind of person disrupted the situation, Stad was extremely displeased.
"I thought it was a strong man, I didn't expect it." "Did you pay him to form a team with you? I advise you not to show off like this. You don't deserve it." The bell at the door of the shop "ding bell "Bell" rang, and three adventurers entered through the door.
They must have seen Lieser from the large window with good lighting, and after confirming that Jieer was not there, they came in to pester him.
Lieser remained calm, and only looked around the store with his eyes.Why pick such a place, he sighed.There are other customers in the store, so if you want to find fault, you shouldn't mess around in this kind of place.
"Let's talk outside if you have anything to say. Stud, I'm sorry, next time..." "I don't want to, I want to stay with you." Liesel was about to get up, but Stud stopped him.
The expression on his face was calm, but his voice was just the opposite. It was dangerously threatening, and he made no effort to hide his displeasure. He grabbed Lieser's arm to keep him.
Lieser couldn't help showing a wry smile in embarrassment.It was the first time to see him so frankly, although it was endearing, but he didn't intend to hurt Stad.
"Stade, I will definitely accompany you again next time." "I want you to accompany me now." "Be obedient, okay?" "As long as I can keep you here, no matter how capricious I become It doesn't matter." Seeing Stard say these words indifferently, the three men widened their eyes, as if they saw an impossible vision.In fact, it was true, and this scene could not have happened before meeting Lieser.
"...Hey, hey, are you too arrogant for leaving people aside?" Seeing the two ignoring them and talking to themselves, the adventurers forced themselves to suppress the wavering in their hearts, and said irritablely.One of them slammed his fist on the table with a "bang", and with the blunt knocking sound, the cups and plates also rattled and shook.
"Little devil, are you and this kid very close, huh? Figure it out, we are the ones talking about..." "Yeah, very close." The atmosphere around Stard suddenly changed, making one's hair stand on end.
Those eyes were no longer the indifferent, deep but longing eyes when looking at Lieser.The sharp gaze commensurate with the title of "absolute zero" shot at the man, and the flowing magic power took away the surrounding temperature, making people feel that there was an unstoppable ice blade on their neck.
"So if you dare to disturb the situation, I can't guarantee your safety." "...!!" With a snap, icicles burst out from Stard's fingertips touching the table, attacking the man's fist, and the ice crystals caught him off guard Thick arms.
A convulsive sound came out of the man's throat, and he hurriedly pulled his stinging arm away from the table, followed by the sound of shattered ice peeling off.Although the arm was off the table, it was completely frozen from the elbow down.
"Hey, this is...how..." "Wait, don't touch it!" He wanted to remove the ice crystals on his arm, but it exuded a frightening coldness, as if even his fingers touching the ice crystals would freeze together, man Suddenly at a loss, his face was ashen.
"If you don't warm up quickly, the whole arm will be cut off." The adventurers were stunned, and Stard never looked at them again, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.It would be bad if there was a commotion here, Lieser smiled wryly, and tried to persuade him from the side.
"Sudden rise in temperature will be dangerous, remember to warm up slowly." Hearing this sentence, the men suddenly came back to their senses.They seemed to realize that this was not a joke, and that their arms were really in danger. They screamed silently and ran out of the store in a panic.
But judging by that level, it shouldn't be a big deal if you don't put it on hold for too long.Liesel watched the adventurers run away through the large window, then turned his head, and spoke to the customers who were looking at the store tremblingly.
"Sorry to bother everyone." Seeing Lieser's apologetic smile, the guests present also heaved a sigh of relief, and the store returned to its original atmosphere.Fortunately, those few adventurers blocked their table, and the other guests didn't see what happened.Is it better to leave?Liesel looked at the owner of the coffee shop, who smiled slightly and shook his head at him.
"It's really a nice shop." Stard was rattling away the ice crumbs on the table, when he heard Liesel speak, he looked up at him.
"However, you can't do dangerous things, Stud." "Will you hate me?" "No, I'm just worried about you." "I'm so happy." After realizing that he was better than Liesel, Stard was no longer polite.Of course, he didn't mean to be polite before, but after realizing it, he expressed his affection more directly.
Seeing Stard's slightly satisfied expression, Liesel showed a helpless smile and reached out to him.
Illustration p183 This dinner, Lieser and Jier happened to eat at the same time.
"I don't know why, the young children seem to like me." "You didn't realize it, it's too exaggerated." Recalling the situation of this day, Liser said this to Jieer, but he was merciless face-to-face accusations.Of course, when Liesel interacted with them, he intended to cultivate a friendly relationship as much as possible, but even considering this, he still felt that he was particularly liked by them.
"Well, but when I meet a child who I love so much, I might really be more pampered." "...I'm too lazy to complain." "What do you mean?" Seeing Jie Er frowned, Lieser also expressed dissatisfaction talk back.Having said that, he continued to speak and mentioned the entrustment of Jagi's guards.
