Episode 1194. Just because there is no bite doesn’t mean there is no meat, so

Fiestra.

sea breeze tavern.

late afternoon.

Fabian and Shelly sat face to face on the empty first floor, where there were no outside guests yet.

“At that time, I ran forward and fired three consecutive strikes at the monster. the back of the head opposite the waist. And while chasing after the monster that hesitated and retreated, the longsword hit the chest! It’s only after I put it in! He said he stopped breathing with the sound. Ten silver’s worth of by-products came out of that monster’s carcass. card! I liked it then. Earn pocket money while protecting the North.”

“oh! Is ten silver pocket money?”

Shelley looked at Baron Fabian Cloud with admiration.

They were mistaken for having both courage and financial strength.

The conscientious Fabian quickly continued explaining why ten silvers were pocket money.

“Am I the company commander? If the company commander eats all by himself, he cannot lose his respect for the people. When I shared it with the company members, it wasn’t long before it fell into my hands. Enough to buy a beer with the adjutant at the pub?”

“Wow! You are really great. The reason why we live peacefully is because people like the baron protect Hirhera, right?”

“Well, you can see that.”

“Then Viscount Lagoa was also with you in Hirhera?”

“of course. Back then, the Viscount and I were just knights.”

“You said you were just a knight? Then you became viscount and baron in less than a year?”

“Do you know where the promotion is the fastest?”

“where is it?”

“It is a battlefield. There is no battleground as fierce as Hirhera on the continent. That’s why the Viscount and I were able to receive titles faster than anyone else.”

“I guess you made a lot of balls?”

“The Viscount and I were the first humans to scout Tameyon and returned. That’s when he earned the nickname ‘Knight of the Rift’. After defeating the demon lords, Viscount Lagoa was called the ‘Guardian of Hirhera’. There will be no one in the north who does not know the names of Viscount Lagoa and me.”

“Now I see you are a hero.”

At Sally’s words, Fabian smiled as if it wasn’t a big deal.

“By the way, is there anything about the Count?”

“Count Omar met while the Viscount and I were leaving Hirhera and returning to the Empire. Because not all knights in the north protected Hirhera. The Empire still doesn’t know about Hirhera’s work. It is a little disappointing that only Hirhera is a lonely war that no one knows about. People should know who is responsible for this prosperity and peace.”

As Fabian put on a forlorn expression, Celie quickly filled his glass with beer.

“Now I know. Thank you, Baron, for keeping the peace on the continent. I’ll calculate this. Listening to what the baron said, I can’t conscientiously ask you to pay.”

“Ah, that can’t be. how much do you earn in tavern Just don’t take heart.”

“Hey, I want to buy it for you.”

Said Sally, who was staring at Baron Fabian Cloud with coy eyes.

“Is the baron married?”

“I haven’t done it yet. I was busy fighting the demons, but what about marriage?”

“What about your lover?”

“There were a few female knights who said they liked me… but there was one who could be called a lover…”

He was wondering what to say when a man with a turban came in.

It was Elio who had left for the Sea of Demons in the morning.

Celie, who was sitting across from Fabian, jumped up from her seat.

“Welcome, Viscount.”

Fabian blinked in surprise at the thief’s feet.

“Viscount? Didn’t you say you’d be back tomorrow evening?”

“Oh, so it happened. Did I break the good mood?”

“It’s not the atmosphere. I was just bored, so I told you the story of Hirhera.”

“What did you say about your lover?”

Fabian, taken aback, hurriedly turned around.

“But what about the face? It doesn’t look like you’ve been drinking. Are you riding?”

Elio answered as he sat down across from Fabian.

“It was very difficult because there was no sunshade. I don’t even know where the sea of demons is. I came back early because I thought I would only hurt myself like this. My back hurts too.”

Elio made various excuses.

To say that I came back because I didn’t have a awning made me feel a little bit embarrassed.

“Well, the autumn sun is hot. Did you have any income?”

“at all. But why are you pretending to be Marquis Gosling Knauf?”

“Am I? when?”

Fabian jumped up in surprise.

This is because the name of Marquis Gosling Knauf here is synonymous with shame.

“I heard that there is no one who can be pinned down and called a lover?”

“When did I say I wasn’t there?”

Then Shelly intervened with a face that seemed to see the end.

“Then are you there?”

Fabian, who was looking at Viscount Elio Lagoa and Celie, said with a reluctant face.

“there is.”

“Ah, there is an owner.”

Saying it teasingly, Sally went back to the checkout without looking back.

“Viscount, do you really need to sprinkle ashes like that to feel refreshed?”

“If you didn’t tell Sir Sera, ‘Let’s go to Slash Land together,’ I tried to pretend I didn’t know.”

“If you get a title in the Empire, you might not go to Slash Land!”

“Did you really mean to leave your headquarters in the north and have a second wife in the Empire?”

“Don’t you know what the future holds? There’s no guarantee that Lord Sera will wait for me, so why do you only take me?”

“Why are you angry when you have no intention of marrying Miss Shelley anyway?”

“Who wants to get married? Can’t we just have a light romance? Viscount, I have a wife and children, so even so, I am a bachelor.”

“A bachelor with a woman he promised to marry.”

“Viscount, why are you forcing fidelity on me, a bachelor, in an era when divorce is considered commonplace even after marriage!”

Elio looked at Fabian with indignant eyes and said with a straight face.

“Fabian.”

“yes?”

“Can I go to Sir Sarah today and tell her exactly what you just said?”

“Do you know that this is where Hirhera’s nose would reach if she fell face down?”

“I will take care of that. Would it be okay for the real Sir Sera to date another man?”

Fabian, who had been keeping his mouth shut like a clam, let out a crackling sound.

“Are you okay? Absolutely not!”

“As long as you are next to me, throw away your thoughts. If you lose your eye, I’ll let Sir Sera know right away that day. Got it?”

“What if Sir Sarah is dating another man? This is a disadvantage only for me.”

“You can always meet a good woman, so don’t worry unnecessarily. By the time you meet Lord Sera again, you’ll be a sword expert, right? Do you think the noble ladies will leave the old bachelor sword expert alone?”

Fabian’s face, which had been withering for an instant, became lively.

“A sword expert? Is that possible?”

“You’ve already passed the sword beginner intermediate level. If you run the small heavenly circuit every day like you do now, you will quickly become advanced. There is a difference between advanced sword beginner and sword expert. oh! The moment you realize something, you become a sword expert. If you become a sword expert, noble ladies will line up to meet you?”

“Listening to the Viscount’s words, it feels like my heart is breaking open.”

“You and I have one thing in common, you know what?”

“Are you a swordsman genius?”

“No, my ears are thin. If you look at it, you’ll be able to see it. Eh, you too should meet a really good woman.”

At the end of the conversation between the two, Count Larva Omar, who had been out, returned.

Count Larva Omar, who was sitting next to Fabian, cautiously opened his mouth.

“I thought you would be back tomorrow evening, but you came early?”

Before Elio could reply, Fabian opened his mouth first.

“I had a hard time because there was no sunshade. My back hurts too, but that seems like an excuse.”

“Ah, the sun was hot when I went out to the sea. The sunshades were so important.”

Count Larva Omar muttered with an ambiguous face.

Come to think of it, I hadn’t thought of the hot sun.

It felt like I was caught off guard that there was such an inconvenience in the mysterious technology called Tornubis.

Then Fabian asked Count Omar of Larva.

“Is it okay that you went to Count Belanus’ castle?”

“I had a conversation with Count Cardinal Paganus with the help of the wizard there. Lord Lagoa said he wanted an imperial title, so he really liked it. You will be contacted within a few days.”

“Did you tell me about the manor? I’d prefer it to be on the east side.”

“Whoops. Of course, you can’t just get a title. He said he would like to receive a manor not far from Fiestra. Earl Paganus said there would be no problem, so look forward to it.”

To secure exploration funds, Count Larva Omar was active in receiving a title.

Elio didn’t say anything because he knew his heart.

Slash Land in the north is a barren place, so I haven’t received a penny of tax.

But the fertile East would be of some help to the exploration.

What if the work started to prevent the northern kingdoms from participating in the war even comes with taxes? That could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

***

Next day.

Elio and the others rode the repaired magic sailboat and went out to sea again.

A peaceful voyage without a single wind has begun.

After a day, the magic sailboat entered the Sea of Magic again.

Elio muttered as he watched the calm sea under the canopy.

“It seems that the sea has two faces just like people. Peaceful faces and rampaging faces.”

Fabian took a bite of the apple and said.

“By the way, the Viscount likes a face that runs amok.”

“It is not necessarily like that. I like the calm sea like today.”

“What are you doing? The one who used to get annoyed whenever he came to the sea of demons.”

“It’s a bit relaxing now that I know the green island is here.”

“Is it because the green island doesn’t run away?”

“Rather than that, it was rather long. If we’re going in vain, we have to go find the real thing, but that’s just too daunting.”

“It does. It would be really dark if not here.”

“I don’t resent the peaceful sea anymore.”

“You speak like a sage.”

“I’m not really a dumb person. Can’t you see the level of swordsmanship? It’s not something that a normal person can reach at my age.”

“It would be cool if someone else said that. If you say that with your own mouth, you look stupid.”

“Are you okay with what you say while holding Sally?”

“Did you hear?”

“It was painful the whole time I was listening. I thought I could die from shame.”

“It was just something I said while drinking.”

“Is there a narrative about that?”

“It is because I have mastered swordsmanship and studies. It wasn’t because I thought carefully. There is no reason for the female staff at Tavern to do that.”

“They say that long excuses are far from the truth.”

“Yeah, I was a little proud of myself. Admit it. It was because the people of the Empire did not know too much about what happened in Hirhera.”

“Okay, let’s not be sloppy. But how long have you been talking about it?”

“You said that the peaceful sea is not resentful.”

“Do you know why?”

“What realization did you get?”

“You saw the crazy face hiding behind that peaceful face. then there’s no hurry Just because you don’t have a bite doesn’t mean you don’t have meat.”

Elio crossed his arms and leaned his upper body back leisurely.
