Thirty minutes later.

Goth, who was sitting at the dining table, was in a daze. Sandwich bread, vegetable salad (a precious wild vegetable that ordinary adventurers have picked with their lives in the deep mountains and forests), and the only bit of meat is grilled dried fish from the Sword River (which can only be caught in March, and there is no unused storage method of the arcane), and the aroma of hot milk. Even for the nobility of the empire, it was a good meal.

When the girl appeared at the table, she had already gone upstairs to change into a more rustic dress.

Incidentally, she had already sent Captain Tomman to pick up his wounded sister......

Now the girl is back in a pure black pullover, trousers and boots, and her appearance has changed slightly.

More like an ordinary female warrior indeed, Goth thought. That's all it takes......

It's a little inconspicuous. There is a feeling that you can see miscellaneous soldiers and robbers everywhere. At his own table, he usually does some merchants and mages, at least he is also a student of the academy, but he has no ......

Phew. This is the customer who makes his small shop shine! Where can those ordinary people who are just a little money compare with her!

"How?" The girl said, "Is there anything wrong with my outfit?" ”

Dimi wanted to say "yes" directly, but he thought about it and gave Goe a wink.

"No, just Your Highness," said Goth, with Dimi's support, and he let it go, "with all due respect. You're too ordinary, you'll be underestimated. ”

"I agree." Dimi, who was sitting next to him, said with great agreement. When he first met the girl, it was this outfit that made him think that the girl was a member of a gang of robbers.

Gort put it a little more seriously, as long as she is willing to change back into decent clothes, it doesn't matter if she meets the other party's "storm" by herself.

But the girl was not angry.

"It's misleading," the girl pouted, her salad-stained fork spinning around in her hand, "I didn't think we were going to be in Errios all day. It's better not to make people think that Dimi and I are great nobles of the Empire. ”

The girl had been looking for Goth in Erios, who had a good security, and had brought retinues like Tomman and Amy, so it was indeed more convenient to dress up as a rebellious lady. And now......

It's better not to affect Goth's efficiency.

"You say that Dimi is your friend," said the maiden, "and that the little nobleman in the middle of the empire should bring his cousin, who has no right of inheritance, out to see the world and adapt to the work of a bodyguard." Low-key, low-key. ”

What is this setting? Dimi complained wildly in his heart. However, I have to say that although this statement is strange, it can indeed be justified.

Next time, why don't you just play the guard with her...... Looks like a lot of fun......

"Well," Goth finally relented, "it doesn't look like you're wearing this for the first time. But forgive me, I might call you around in front of others. ”

"Whatever you want." The girl said. In the past, she and Dimi acted together, and their status was also equal to each other. Even if she had a "micro-service private visit" with Lin Na in the territory, it was a more "professional" warrior Lin Na who pretended to be a guard, and the girl was the eldest lady by herself. Being able to "protect" others as a guard now is also a new experience for her.

"Let me ask: ...... you past"

Knock, knock......

Goth was still a little uneasy after all. But just as he opened his mouth to ask, there was a knock on the door.

It's not half past six. At this time, it will only be Goth's maid, Miss Sophie, who will come. She has the key to the "Heart of the Stars" and won't knock on the door of the store.

Who is it?

……

In front of the "Heart of the Stars".

Roy Clowe, a student at Solidar Academy, took a deep breath.

In the French Kingdom, the most talented mage apprentices are chosen by legendary mages to teach them personally, such as Peter Cliff and the brothers and sisters of La Mantasenis, who are known as the "Golden Generation"; Those with inferior talents will enter Solidar Academy, or study with a Blue Ocean or Blue Sky mage; If you are less talented, and you don't have the connections and money you can use, you can only rely on luck.

Roy Clovis was one of the many "lucky" people. When he first entered Solidar Academy, he was almost at the bottom of the class among the students of the mage department. But later, with long-term diligence and tireless efforts, the current Roy has broken through to the advanced level of the sea of clouds.

In an academy where you can graduate as long as you reach the first level of the sea of clouds and become a full-fledged mage, this is a remarkable achievement. Even if you look at the whole of Errios, it is the second group after the "Golden Generation". In the current Solitar Academy, only Wendy, the student president, and him can do it.

Even though his status is no longer what it used to be, Roy Clovis is still a humble man. Standing in front of the Goth's door, Roy hesitated a little, whether it was rude to disturb people for breakfast. However, remembering President Wendy's instructions, he gritted his teeth and knocked on the door of the "Heart of the Stars".

……

"Please come in, Mr. Clovis." Goth opened the door for Roy "enthusiastically". He wore the short white robes common to the mage apprentices of Elrios, and his expression was hurried.

"You're welcome, Mr. Goth, just call me Roy." Roy said politely. The aroma in the room can be smelled even from a floor away. Mr. Goth's breakfast must have been hearty, Roy thought. His stomach growled in anger.

"Oh my God, you're still hungry," said Goth, "Roy, what's the matter?" ”

Wendy...... The president has an urgent matter for you," said Roy, "at eight o'clock this morning, at the Academy." ”

"It's not even seven o'clock." Goth blinked.

"Uh......"

"Don't be in a hurry, I suppose we'll have breakfast before we go," said Gort, "come in, Mr. Clovis, and you're welcome." It just so happens that I'm going to the academy today. I ......"

Goth suddenly shut up. Upstairs, there are two other high-ranking members of the Empire. Isn't it......

"Ge (Song) Le (Te), Li (your)'s (friend)?" The girl's voice came from the stairs, her mouth full of mashed potatoes, "Let him come in." ”

"She said, let him in." Dimi translated it for the girl.

“……”

Even though he had been mentally prepared, Goth's heart twitched slightly.

"Who?" Roy was stunned.

All right. It seems that there is no need to hesitate......

The young merchant dragged a stunned Roy aside.

"Actually," he whispered, before Roy could ask, "these two are from the Empire." This gentleman is my friend, and this girl is his cousin. ”

"......"

"Don't be surprised," whispered Goth, "that this girl almost ran away with a gang of robbers on her way from the Empire. ”

"Wait ......"

"The girl's mother is an Okadian, and her father is a nobleman of the Empire," Goth said in a serious nonsense, "and the family did not approve of her parents' marriage, and her mother died of depression, leaving such a child." Her father also died two years ago, and she couldn't stay in the family herself, so she planned to run out to live on her own. This cousin was the only one in her family who cared about her, so she brought her to me and asked me to help her find a job. I asked her to be my bodyguard first. ”

"What about almost becoming a robber?"

"Shh," said Goth, "don't let them hear!" Listen, this girl has a lot of self-esteem, and would rather be a robber than ask for help. It took a lot of effort for her cousin to get her to me. Don't go out and talk nonsense! ”

"I see. You are such a kind person. I won't say. Roy nodded.

It turned out that the strange accent came from her Okadian mother...... Roy thought to himself.

"It's great that you understand." Goth breathed a sigh of relief. It's great that Roy is a gullible guy......

"Hey, what are you talking about?" The voice of the girl's dissatisfaction came from the staircase.

"Here we are!" Goth shouted, pulling Roy upstairs, "This is my friend Mr. Roy Clovis, he's going to have breakfast with us, and then go out!" ”

"You should have a decent new dress for her," Roy said in a low voice, "it will be very different." ”

Different from when she first crossed over, after a lot of experience, even if the current girl is wearing a miscellaneous soldier costume and a face-changing mask, under Roy's careful observation, she still feels the girl's temperament that goes deep into the bone marrow and cannot be concealed.

"Isn't that running out of time?" Goth smiled wryly and blinked. The lord would be looked down upon if he dressed like this—perhaps his own worries were unnecessary, thought the young merchant.

Unbeknownst to Goth, the girl and Dimi could hear the conversation between Goth and Roy clearly through the keen hearing given by the "perfect body".

"Mr. Goth's words are a bit like the story you made up earlier in Okad." Dimi whispered.

"Coincidence." The girl replied. After all, Goeth is the protagonist of her work, and it is not surprising that her way of thinking still retains some commonality with her.

As for Roy, the girl wasn't worried. also had the supporting role of Roy. The maiden knew that he was an honest man with a gentle temper. Are you afraid that he will not be able to calculate himself?

[Don't you think that if the two of you directly pretend to be two nobles or two guards at the beginning of the fight, it will be easier for Mr. Gort to lie? In the spiritual world, Xiaowei asked suspiciously.

The girl said, "Don't you allow me to skin it once in a while?" 】

【……】

……

Soon.

"Let's go." Goth said. Miss Sophie, the maid, had not yet arrived—Goth had no doubt that she was late for sleep to-day. He left her a note on the table and told her to look at the store carefully, and Goethe left.

Roy glanced at Dimi and the girl with melancholy eyes: Dimi is also down, and occasionally the nobles of the empire come to visit the school, and the girl's "robber costume" is really unseemly. You'll have to convince her to change into a school uniform or something......

"I'm borrowing the school's conference room today. No problem, right? Goth asked. Even if Wendy, the school's president, hadn't come to him, he would have gone to the school to see her today. The other people Goth was looking for today were all in the Pure White City, and it would be best if he could take care of everything in Solidar Academy without moving places.

"As long as the president agrees." Roy said.
