  Chapter 301 Growing Dissatisfaction {TL: By Creed} “So that’s what happened!” After a while, Licorice came back… And we were told something outrageous. “People who are dissatisfied with the lord have gathered and are plotting an armed uprising…?” “I really hope that’s just a joke… but surely no adult would make such a tasteless joke.” Honestly, I don’t think a coup will happen today or tomorrow. If it’s still only at the planning stage, it should require careful preparation. Even if a decision were made today, I think there’d be at least a month of leeway. But… The problem is that the situation is already critical. Planning a coup requires tremendous resolve. And if circumstances severe enough to harden people’s resolve like that have formed… Then what Albert is saying might actually be true. “What do you think, Sofia?” “Well… it could be an elaborate trap, but if we keep thinking like that, there’ll be no end to it.” “Yeah. And besides, I think it was pure c...

  Chapter 300: Licorice's Great Adventure {TL: By Creed} Licorice left the lord’s mansion and floated lightly through the air above the town. Fairies were a rare species. If she showed herself in public without Fate and Sofia around, she might get captured. At least, Licorice did have the sense to consider that level of danger. “Now then, I wonder if there’s any information about the lord lying around somewhere?” She didn’t have time to go around questioning people one by one. Even if she did, who knew how long it would take to finally reach someone who actually had the right information? It would be much faster to eavesdrop on people’s conversations instead. She could gather rumors about the lord… and not just that—there might even be someone quietly speaking the truth. Because that sometimes happened, it was a fairly effective method. “Hehe, Licorice-chan Ears can pick up any conversation there is!” Even though she was alone, Licorice struck a smug pose. Maybe s...

  Chapter 299: Sometimes extreme methods {TL: By Creed} That day, we ended up staying the night at the mansion as-is. As Albert’s guests, we were officially granted permission to stay. We were given a single guest room. However, it was very spacious, and there were four beds. “Ahhh, a fluffy bed—this is wonderful~” Licorice immediately dove onto one of the beds, but the rest of us didn’t follow suit. We walked around the room, checking the layout… And also searching for something specific. “Fate, how was it?” “I think it’s fine.” “On my end as well, there were no issues.” “Daddy, Mommy—what are you doing?” Aisha tilted her head in curiosity. “Well… we were checking to see if there were any bad people eavesdropping on us.” “Oooh.” “You wouldn’t like it if someone were watching you either, right, Aisha-chan? That’s why we were carefully checking everything.” To be honest, we don’t fully trust Albert. There were no contradictions in his story, but… That alone isn’t e...

  Chapter 298: Usurpation {TL: By Creed} "Drive him out…?" An unbelievable statement came flying at me. At first I thought I misheard, but— "I want to kick my father down from his position, and take the seat of lord myself." He said it again, plainly. He looked like a reasonable person, and yet behind that exterior he was thinking of usurpation… What kind of person does that? I should report this immediately— …Wait. I almost jumped to a conclusion out of shock, but thinking more carefully, something felt off. There’s no way he would tell something like that to people he just met. A normal person would take time to judge whether someone will help with wrongdoing. And Albert doesn’t seem shortsighted enough to seek cooperation from us just because we’re strong. "...Is there some reason behind this?" For now, I decided to listen. Sofia seemed to agree, keeping quiet. "Thank you. I’m glad you’re willing to hear me out properly." ...

  Chapter 297: A request from Albert {TL: By Creed} “ First, allow me to express my gratitude. Thank you for agreeing to be our escorts. ” Albert lowered his head slightly. Even though he’s the son of the lord, he bowed to an ordinary adventurer… That’s not something just anyone can do. And on top of that, he has a handsome face. He’s tall, too. “……” If I competed with him… could I win? Not in ability, but in terms of being attractive as a man? Before I knew it, I started thinking about things like that. Whether he noticed or not, Albert continued speaking. “ Please, feel free to call me Albert. ” “ Then please call us by our names as well. ” “ Understood—Sofia, Fate. Aisha, and Snow. ” He’s an easygoing person. And he has a good personality. If this person became a rival… No no, that’s not good. He seems to have something serious to talk about, so I need to focus on that! “ Sofia, the Sword Saint, your skill was truly remarkable. Not only that—Fate, you als...

  Chapter 296: The Lord's Son {TL: By Creed} North of Aqualate stretched a vast forest… Beyond that lay a range of mountains. The town that spread out at the foot of those mountains was Lenoglade. Mining tunnels branched out like an ant colony… And the various ores extracted from them were the town’s main industry. Because of that, it was also known as a mining city. The person we had saved was Albert Hildis— the son of Lenoglade’s lord. Apparently, he had gone to Aqualate for a small errand… and on his way back, he was attacked by monsters. We happened to pass by at that moment… and that’s the situation. "Oh—" After safely finishing the escort job, we were taken straight to his mansion. Aisha’s eyes sparkled as she looked around at the spacious estate full of beautiful furnishings. She’s called a priestess or princess, but in the end, she’s still a kid. Places like this must be exciting for her. "Please, this way." A maid guided us to the guest...

Chapter 295: Love at First Sight {TL: By Creed} “...Huh?” Sofia widened her eyes in surprise. It was so sudden that she froze completely. She clearly hadn’t expected him to kiss the back of her hand—so she let it happen. Meanwhile, the man continued holding Sofia’s hand. He began speaking passionately. “So you are the famed Sword Saint. Your skill, of course… but not only that. You are beautiful. Like a masterpiece painted by a top-class artist… no, beyond that. A miracle crafted by the gods themselves.” “Eh? Ah… um…” His compliments were outrageous, yet because of his roundabout way of speaking, Sofia didn’t seem to realize she was being flirted with. She answered halfheartedly. “Yes… you are a goddess. A true goddess descended to the earth. I wish to offer my gratitude to all people for allowing me this fateful encounter.” “Umm…” “When I was attacked by monsters, I resigned myself to death… but now I see. If such a meeting awaited me, I must instead offer my thanks. E...
