Chapter 71: CH 71

“Huh, a house?” I said.

I was surprised at the words that popped out.

What did she mean, a house? I certainly wanted it and I was looking for one, and I do remember telling Lucy about that.

“That’s right,” Lucy said. “What, didn’t you need one?”

“No, wait a minute,” I said. “This story jumped too much and now I’m confused.”

I look at Mr. Ibroix, and what is with you, too? What’s with that look? What is with the flow of suddenly offering a house as a reward?

The information coming out, for the time being, is too sudden and too limited. Suddenly I was asked if I didn’t need a house, and if I said yes, that would be odd.

“It’s just as I said…” Lucy said, slightly annoyed.

Perhaps my confusion was unexpected.

Thank you for the offer itself. But why did you think that one sentence would fly?

“Oh, by the way,” Ibroix said as if he just remembered something. “Lucy, you had a house before you bought this one.”

“Yes, that’s right,” Lucy said.

Apparently, Ibroix has an idea of the house Lucy is offering.

However, as I’ve been thinking since our first meeting, Lucy and Ibroix have a long relationship. I don’t know when she bought this house, but she probably didn’t have a shallow relationship with Ibroix because he knew her previous residence.

From Ibroix’s point of view, Lucy already owned another home before buying this one. And she’s trying to give it to me as a reward for this work.

Huh, is this okay? I don’t think a house is something that can be handed over like that.

“Ah, thank you for the offer, but… ig it’s okay for me to get it, I’ll take it,” I said.

“I don’t mind at all,” Lucy said. “I have it cleaned regularly, but no one lives there. Rather, it’s just right for you.”

In that case, I think it would be fine to put it up for sale. Well, there may be some circumstances around this.

“Beryl, aren’t you still living in an inn? Unless I’m mistaken,” Lucy said

“No, you’re right…” I said.

If this was a suggestion from someone I didn’t know, I’d be skeptical and believe there’s something definitely going on behind the scenes. The fact that the one offering is Lucy means she’s barely escaped suspicion, but I’ve still got my reservations.

“I would be grateful if you accepted it as well,” Ibroix said. “You see, I’d be in trouble if the address I send my gratitude to is an inn.”

“Haah…” I sighed.

And now Ibroix is jumping on with Lucy’s offer.

Yeah, well, as an objective fact, I understand that it’s a shame that a good old man lives in an inn with no permanent address.

I don’t really care about the public’s opinion, but this is in the sense of being the Special Instructor for the Knights. There’s also a feeling that I want to do the bare minimum right. That’s why I was searching for a house in between work.

It’s just that. Anyway, this offer is too abrupt.

It’s Lucy, so I know she’s not trying to deceive me or make me fall into some trap.

But, she said this house was a reward for the bit of help I did. How could I not be surprised?

“We-Well, I’ll think about it positively…” I said.

“Is that so? I thought you’d decide promptly,” Lucy said.

Who the hell would make a quick decision here? If there is someone, I’d love to meet them.

“Well, more so than that, Bishop Lebios is the more important matter,” Ibroix said.

That offer is a little overkill so let’s get back to the topic at hand.

To be honest, I’m not so concerned about rewards. As long as you receive the request, you should get the corresponding reward, otherwise, it wouldn’t be a “request”, so I understood that but I don’t need an excessive reward.

""

That kind of thing usually leads to troublesome things, with the next request being something that would not be worth it.

Of course, I don’t necessarily assume that is the case, but I’m still wary of it. This isn’t what the other person is doing anymore, it’s my belief.

“Well, it’s a bit of trouble because he’s an executive of Suphine, but… well, the Bishop will be deposed,” Ibroix said.

“And that’s why you, Mr. Ibroix, will sit in his now-vacant seat, right?” I said.

“Hahaha, you’re quick on the uptake, Mr. Beryl,” Ibroix said.

I don’t understand what he means by that.

No way, everything up to this point shouldn’t have been one big plot. The plan is too grand and too sloppily constructed.

But anyway, the impression that this person isn’t to be messed with remains the same. He’s an old man who I’ve got the strong feeling I can’t see the true intentions of, the hidden layer is so deep and dark.

“Also, there were several people who seemed to be knights Bishop Lebios’s escort,” I said. “I was dealing with estocs…”

At the same time, I’ll tell them that the Bishop was not the only one on the scene.

Alexia said they were Knights of the Faith, but is that prediction correct?

“That is… almost certainly the Knights of the Faith,” Ibroix said. “I see…”

Apparently, Ibroix feels the same.

After receiving my report, Ibroix looks deep in thought for a while.

“… Well, there’s nothing we can do if we just think about the future,” Ibroix said, his expression softening. “First of all, let’s celebrate the success of the request.”

Yeah, that’s the way to go. Even if something like a conspiracy is moving, it is impossible for these three people alone to predict it right now.

I’m sure Bishop Lebios would boast about the importance or significance of the miracle in the interrogation, he was that kind of person. I don’t know what kind of law will be touched and what kind of punishment will be given, but it is hard to think of him being acquitted.

At the very least, there is certainly the sin of colluding with bandits and kidnapping innocent people.

I don’t know what will happen from there. That is the one that only the heavens will know.

“You truly performed exceptionally,” Lucy said. “Thank you for your hard work.”

“Haha, thanks,” I said.

Lucy then tapped my shoulder to whisper to me.

The appearance of an old man in his 40’s struggling with someone who looks like a little girl is dangerous.

“Well then, do you go to see the house I plan to give you?” Lucy asked.

“Huh, that’s what you’re asking?”

How did this happen?

I feel a strong will from Lucy, that she’s getting me that house no matter what.

“Why won’t you take it? Mr. Beryl, you’ll be in trouble if you stay forever at that inn, right?” Ibroix said.

“Well, you’re not wrong…” I said.

I was showing reluctance again, Ibroix is pressuring me in earnest. This is two against one. No, I’m not going to strongly oppose it.

Mmm, it’s unexpected that I can get a house, but it’s a nice offer. If you don’t have to make a quick decision and you can actually look at the location and interior before making a decision, it may be wise to do so. This old man’s not too sure about this.

“You can make a decision after seeing it once,” Lucy said. “I’m not going to force you.”

“Hmm… well, in that case, let’s do that,” I said.

“Alright, alright, then we’ll leave now,” Lucy said, her expression brightening up as she stands up.

In the end, Lucy is moving immediately. I think she’s always acting as soon as she makes a quick decision.

“I do worry I won’t be back for a while,” Ibroix said. “The Faith will be in turmoil for a while.”

“Yeah, you should be giving your best there.”

Certainly, if the Bishop is arrested, the Supheniardvania Theocracy will be in a panic. It depends on Ibroix’s skill to decide what information to drop.

“Oh my, are you all going out?” Halwi asked as we left.

“Yeah, sorry to bother you,” I said.

Well, I was just told that I was going to see my house, and Lucy just decided. It’s no wonder Halwi is surprised.

“We’re going to look at that house,” Lucy said.

“Oh dear me, that’s… hmm-hmm, I understand,” Halwi said, smiling.

I can’t be sure, but this person fits Lucy’s temperament well, or rather she’s showing her maturity. In a different sense from ALexia, she feels like a woman who can do the work.

“Safe travels, everyone,” Ms. Halwi said, bowing as we left.

Well, I still don’t understand about half of it, but it can’t be helped as the matter goes on. Let’s switch opinions and look at this positively.
