  Chapter 327: Entanglements {TL: By Creed} "Eh?" I hadn’t expected to be refused so easily, so I let out a rather dumbfounded sound without thinking. The serious demeanor from earlier was nowhere to be seen, and Cliff had already returned to his usual laid-back atmosphere. And then, he took another bite of his donut. "I’d like to help. But I can’t." "What do you mean by that?" "I told you, right? The Dawn Alliance has infiltrated even the Association. If we act carelessly, we’ll only put them on guard. In that case, it’s better not to do anything." "I see…?" It sounded reasonable… and yet not entirely. Which one was it? "If we move recklessly, we’ll just get crushed… so it’s not easy to take action." "I see…" I had been hoping Cliff would help… so it was disappointing. I felt a bit down. Seeing me like that, Cliff grinned. "Now, now, don’t jump to conclusions. It’s not like I won’t cooperate at al...

  Chapter 326: Taking the plunge {TL: By Creed} "What’s wrong?" Cliff noticed my hesitation and looked at me curiously. He was munching away on the donuts he had ordered extra. He didn’t look dignified at all… But I knew he was actually an incredibly capable and amazing person. Yeah. I don’t know how this will turn out, but I’ll try talking to him. "I have something important to discuss." "Hmm." Cliff put on a serious expression… …and then took a big bite of another chocolate donut. "Um… it’s a serious matter, you know." "I know. But you see, when you talk about serious things, you use your brain, right? And when you use your brain, you need sugar. That’s why I’m eating donuts like this. Nom. " He said it like it made perfect sense, but… is that really true? I couldn’t help but doubt it. "So, what’s this about?" "Ah, yes. It’s going to be a bit long, but actually…" I explained, to some extent, about t...

Chapter 325: An Unexpected Reunion in an Unexpected Place {TL: By Creed} Cliff Rampage. He serves as the master of an Adventurers’ Guild in a certain town. We ended up fighting together during the major incident of a Stampede… And after that, he’s someone who’s helped me out from time to time. “Hey, isn’t that you, Stuaart-kun? It’s been a while.” “Ah, yes. It’s been a while… um…” It was so sudden that I couldn’t find the right words. I ended up just opening and closing my mouth awkwardly. I’m probably making a pretty dumbfounded face right now. “Haha, no need to be that surprised. You’re reacting like you’ve just seen a ghost.” “Um… I’m sorry.” “Don’t worry about it. More importantly, since we’ve run into each other again, do you have some time? How about we chat a bit?” “Ah, yes, I’d love to… though, could you wait a moment? I’d like to find an inn first.” “Did you just arrive in the royal capital?” “Yes. So I was hoping to find information on a good place to stay.”...

  Chapter 324 Royal Capital {TL: By Creed} When we passed through the gate, the first thing I saw was a large road stretching straight ahead. It was wide enough for about ten carriages to run side by side… And in reality, countless carriages were coming and going. On both sides of it, there were buildings as numerous as the stars. They continued endlessly, to the point of hiding the horizon. At the far end of the great road, I could see a castle. Even though it should have been quite far away, its size and splendor still came across—it was built on a truly grand scale. "Wow… so this is the royal capital." Sitting beside Sofia, who was handling the horse, I looked around. I was acting like a complete country bumpkin, but it couldn’t be helped, right? "Wow!" "On!" Aisha and Snow leaned out of the window, their faces sparkling with excitement. Seeing their tails wagging wildly, they were clearly thrilled. "Huh…" Licorice, sitting on m...

  Chapter 323: Promise Part 2 {TL: By Creed} “Snow, over here, over here!” “On!” Aisha ran through the shallow part of the lake, splashing water everywhere, while Snow chased after her. From time to time, Aisha stopped, scooped up some water, and splashed it at Snow. As if returning the favor, Snow skillfully used her tail to splash water back. “Haa… this feels so refreshing, I feel alive again.” Licorice floated on the water with her arms and legs spread out. It felt extremely pleasant, and the expression on her face looked completely melted with relaxation. And Sofia… “Hehe, it’s cool and feels wonderful.” “Y-yeah… it really does.” She was standing in the water up to her knees, showing her white skin to me. To be precise… she was wearing a swimsuit. The color was white. There was a bold cut on the back. It was a swimsuit that somehow felt contradictory—both elegant and rather provocative at the same time. But it suited Sofia very well. Because it suited her ...

  Chapter 322: Promise Part 1 {TL: By Creed} The journey toward the royal capital began after leaving Lenoglade. The trip to the royal capital would take about a month. It was a long journey, but thanks to the carriage Albert gave us, we were able to travel comfortably. Then one day... "Hot, hot, hot—so hooooot!!!" Licorice fluttered around inside the carriage in a completely exhausted state, yet her voice rang out energetically as she shouted. Apparently her voice reached the driver’s seat, because Sofia’s voice came back from the front. "Please don’t make so much noise. It’ll just make it feel hotter." "But still, this heat is impossible to endure! It’s seriously tough for delicate and fragile little Licorice-chan!" "Well, it certainly is hot today..." The sun shone brightly overhead, pouring down blazing rays of light. "Hafuu..." "Ofuu..." In the sweltering temperature that made sweat pour down endlessly, Aisha...

  Chapter 321: A New Journey {TL: By Creed} A few days later. Since Albert had prepared a carriage for us, we moved out into the garden. By the way, during those few days, we had been staying at his mansion. We felt terribly sorry for being taken care of in every possible way, but Albert insisted that he wanted to do at least this much for us. “Wow…” “This is… incredible.” Sofia and I stared at the carriage in wide-eyed amazement. Aisha and Snow, meanwhile, looked intensely curious, wagging their tails vigorously as they examined it. Rather than a carriage, it was more like a small house. It had a bedroom, a kitchen, and even a shower, all neatly and compactly arranged. There were two horses. Both were large and powerful-looking, seeming capable of running endlessly. “If you’re going to continue your journey, I want you to use this. You can stay in it overnight, cook meals, and even take showers. It’s fairly sturdy too, so it can serve as a shelter if a storm com...
