Chapter 136: An Unusual Noble

Chapter 135: An Unusual Noble

“Mr. Shien?”

Seeing that Shien wasn’t responding, Melika showed an anxious expression like she did something wrong.

“What is it?”

Diere also looked toward Shien and asked him.

“Uuu…”

Lumia rather showed a hint of timidness when she looked at Shien. It seemed lie she was indeed more scared of Shien now.

But Melika didn’t seem to be afraid at all. That was something that Shien didn’t expect.

This elf girl seemed to have not been affected by what happened before at all. She continued to act as she did before.

No, from Melika’s actions, she had become more active in making conversation with Shien. It was like she didn’t want for Shien and her to draw further apart.

That was in fact the reality.

Putting aside Lumia for the moment, Melika’s opinion of Shien didn’t actually change at all.

For one, elves like Melika were able to steel their hearts against demons from the start. For two, Melika’s own feeling of closeness toward Shien were growing by the day. She already been having a hard time enduring the fact that she hasn’t been able to talk with Shien over the past few days. She wouldn’t have so suddenly turned the question toward Shien otherwise.

Shien didn’t know any of that. He still thought it was due to the matter with Markray. The naturally kindly Melika was grateful, so she didn’t end up fearing him.

Shien rather relaxed at that.

“I’m fine.” Shien shook his head as he turned back to the original question, “I’m not like you guys. I came from the great sea of stars.”

That statement made everyone stop for a moment.

“The great sea of stars?”

Melika was dumbfounded. Lumia showed a complete lack of comprehension. Even Diere frowned as if she was searching her memories for any mention of such a place.

That was a waste of effort though.

After all, Shien was just sprouting random nonsense.

It’s not like he could actually tell them that he came from another world, right?

Thus, Shien continued to speak seriously.

“It’s normal that you haven’t heard of it. That’s because it is a place far away. It represents the unknown and hope itself, and is the goal that many people reach toward.”

Shien’s words completely confused the girls.

“Is there really a place like that?”

Diere was completely suspicious.

“Of course.” Shien spoke without a change in expressions, “Plus, that place is enormous and without bounds.”

Shien begun making such exaggerated boasts.

In the end, after dragging everyone around for a while, the question that everyone wanted to ask Shien was thus forgotten. Instead, it turned into a discussion over just what kind of place this great sea of starts really is.

It continued for five minutes, when Balon finally road back on his horse.

“Alright, we’re entering the city.” Balon directly declared, “After entering the city, the knights will be following me. The adventures can do as you like. You can head to the guild headquarters or look for inns. A notice will be given later when the Palace has determined when the audience is to be held.”

In other words, it was time to split up.

“Leon, please come with me to the magic item stores.” Eudrice immediately spoke impatiently to Leon next to her.

“Alright.”

Leon was somewhat hesitant. He seemed to have wanted to use this opportunity to do something. However, he was also rather unfamiliar with the Capital. Since it’s his first time here, he ended up deciding that it’s better to follow Eudrice, so he didn’t object.

A point worth mentioning is that for the past while, Leon had stopped trying to get close to the girls of Vivian’s party.

Given that Shien was there, Leon would do anything to keep away, so he naturally wouldn’t dare to try to pester the girls anymore.

Alrith on the other hand had decided to first head to the guild.

“Since it’s the main headquarters of the adventurer’s guild, and it’s situated in the capital at tht, the guild’s quests and rewards should be quite worth checking out, right?”

Alrith rather wanted to take a look, and the fellow party members with him didn’t have any objections either.

As for Vivian’s party, they had their own plans too.

“Your place or mine?”

Vivian threw a strange question a Diere.

“Your place.” Diere knew what Vivian meant though, and she spoke with unusual dissatisfaction, “You knew full well, right?”

“Basically.” Vivian showed a smile, but she continued to stare at Diere while confirming, “Are you really not going back to visit?”

“No.” Diere coldly replied without hesitation, “You know full well that I became an adventurer specifically to escape that place. I even accepted your invitation to go to Lamdrion partly because I wanted to get away from there.”

“… Alright.” Vivian was silent for a bit before speaking resignedly, “In that case, let’s head to my place then.”

Hearing that, Shien, Lumia and Melika finally understood just what Vivian and Diere were discussing.

The two of them were discussing, since they’ve returned to the Capital, whether they’ll be hosting everyone over at Vivian’s home or Diere’s home.”

No matter what, as people born in the capital, it’s not like they can let everyone stay at the inns, right?

Thus, Vivian had already made the arrangements.

“Everyone come with me to my place then.” Vivian thus gave everyone a smile, “Although, to be accurate, it’s technically Leili’s place.”

After all, Vivian had lived with Leili.

“Is that really fine?” Shien raised his hand and brought up a question, “I heard that guildmaster Leili’s family seemed to be some amazing high nobility. Can we really just casually head in without the person in question?”

Lumia and Melika nodded over and over. They too had such misgivings.

“There’s no need for you to worry so much.” Vivian reassured them, “Although Leili’s family is high nobility, her family’s actually rather unusual compared to the average nobles.”

What’s different about it?

“Leili’s ancestor was actually the founder of the adventurer’s guild. Way back when, they were a minister working beside the founding king and Hero. Following said king’s will, they founded the adventurer’s guild with the aid of the Kingdom and then was eventually given a title and became nobility.”

Vivian begun explaining.

“Due to that, the family head of each and every generation of the Latrad family has always been the guildmaster of the adventurer’s guild. Everyone in the family are also involved with work relating to the adventurer’s guild. Leili is the only child of the current family head, so she too will eventually become the guildmaster of the main headquarters of the adventurer’s guild and thus inherit the Latrard family. That’s why she’d been sent to the adventurer’s guild in another territory as guildmaster after reaching adulthood. It’s for the sake of gaining experience.”

Everyone was suddenly enlightened.

“No wonder the only child of a high noble family would end up acting as the guildmaster in such a remote town. So that’s the reason huh?”

Shien understood as well.

At the same time, Shien understood what Vivian was trying to say.

“The Latrad family is very friendly toward adventurers. You guys are also my and Leili’s friends. Each of you also have promising futures ahead of you, so the family head won’t be acting stingy toward you guys.” Vivian smiled, “So just come along with me.”

Everyone gave each other a look, but in the end, they all nodded.

Thus, Vivian’s party entered the capital.
