Kren diligently explains the route alone, and the two of them spend time listening to each other.
I saw the right time and left naturally.
With her back against the wall, she carefully observes the trend of Cren's party and secretly approaches Cren when he goes to the bathroom alone.
"Cren."
Kren turns around and looks at me.
Why is this guy so handsome? I was almost intimidated.
"Excuse me, how did you know my name?"
"I was listening at the next table."
Kren frowned at her.
"Do you know our missing colleague?"
"Let's move to a place where the eyes of the twin sisters can't reach."
"I can't do that. These two are my trusted colleagues.
Do you know where you want to go and follow it?"
"I'm protecting Cecilia."
Kren took a peek at where her twin sister was; she looked me right in the eyes, and she said,.
"Tell me, where are you?
If you act nonsense, I will subdue you by force."
"It's nothing to talk about here. Follow me if you want to hear it."
"Wait!"
I turned my back without regret.
Since she reveals that she is protecting Cecilia, Kren has no choice but to follow the rescue.
If she informed her colleagues or resorted to violence, something might happen to Cecil.
I went into a dark alley where sunlight didn't reach and waited for Kren to come.
"Where is Cecil? Who are you?"
"Don't worry. Cecil is safe now."
"I'll judge that. Before you draw the sword, speak the truth. Who are you? Where is Cecil?"
Kren was really ready to pull out the two-handed sword from her back.
"Golden Sun."
"Golden sun?"
"I'm a teaching assistant in this city. I'm also Cecil's master."
Kren's eyebrows twitched.
It seems that the word "master" is offensive. This is a desirable response.
"What did you do to Cecil?"
"I didn't do anything."
You're right that I couldn't, but...
That's all for men behaving rudely toward women.
I got her to the point before Kren drew her sword.
"Really. Kren. I didn't do anything. I can let you meet me if you want. If you listen to me first."
Kren's troubles did not last long.
Returning her two-handed sword to its scabbard, he slowly lowered his hand.
"Did you tell them you were coming here?"
"I didn't tell you. But if I'm away for a long time, I'll start looking for you."
"When I found it, Cecilia was in a distraught state after eating mushrooms in the woods outside Isil."
"Mushroom? What kind of joke are you kidding? There's no way something like a mushroom that can incapacitate Cecilia will naturally grow."
"We'll talk about that later. I did it for now. I'm not lying."
"…"
Kren looked into my eyes and let out a sigh of relief.
"Okay. Trust me. Thank you for rescuing Cecilia."
"It's really Cecil-like, right?"
"You speak as if you know Cecil well."
"Because we've been together until now."
"As expected, Cecil couldn't have left without saying anything."
"Are you two dating?"
Kren's eyes widened, as if he hadn't expected such a topic to come up suddenly.
"Oh, no… Why are you asking that?"
"I'm just a little concerned."
"Taeyang. She's my teammate. She's a teammate who's been fighting with each other's backs for a long time."
"I am Cecil's master."
Kren seemed a little uncomfortable.
"What is that, master? Is it a tradition unique to this town?"
"All aliens are treated as slaves. I decided to look after Cecil.
I give you two gold coins and use them as my fishery."
"Gold, two gold coins?"
Ohh.
Perhaps it's because he's an adventurer; he seems to have already figured out the price with his body.
Yes. He gave me two gold coins.
It is difficult for a slave to earn gold coins, no matter how much time and effort he puts into it.
"Is it true that I was protecting you?"
"Yes. I am Cecil's guardian. I paid for it."
"Then… Is the problem... Money?
Actually, I lost the money when I crossed the gate, so I don't have anything."
"Of course, if you want to take Cecil, you'll have to pay me.
I'll cut it for as long as I've had it."
Speak without thinking, and continue the conversation naturally.
I have no intention of giving Cecil.
Never.
"Thank you. Golden Sun. You are my benefactor, no. Our benefactor."
Kren lowered his head.
He's a good guy. I know how to thank you properly.
I didn't rescue Cecil, but I kidnapped her, so I don't deserve this kind of gratitude.
Well, anything like that is good. Because that's not what's important now.
"Doesn't the other guy think that way?"
"What does that mean?"
"Cecile said. She met you guys. To be precise, with the twin sisters from your party."
"What? We never said a word like that."
"I guess not. Cecil didn't pick up and eat the mushrooms out of curiosity, but because of the sister's trick."
I explained the conversation that took place at the Adventurer's Guild while Kren was away.
"Currently, I am Cecilia's guardian.
Cecil wants to go back too. But after hearing this, do you think I can entrust Cecil to you guys?"
"No way…"
Kren looked shocked.
She didn't know that vicious bullying was going on.
The perpetrators were her trusted colleagues!
It is natural to want to avert her eyes.
If you turn your eyes, turn your eyes...
"How can I believe you?"
The arrow of doubt returns to me.
"Can you prove that you're not framing my colleagues?"
"Why are you slandering your colleague?"
"I heard that the slave trade is rampant in this city.
Then Cecilia… It must be the intention to have it."
I got it half-right.
Cren's suspicions are justified. There's no way that a person who believes in the words of her opponent, who has no one-sided understanding, and who doubts her colleagues can act like her leader.
All sorts of suspicious circumstances may be running through Kren's head right now, but he believes it for now.
Because it's a colleague. Because you are a party member.
Let's break her shallow beliefs.
"Then why did I appear before you?
Don't you think it's advantageous to pretend like you don't know?"
"Cecile found us!"
"Are you only believing that part? If that's true, Cecil and you should have met a long time ago. Why did Cecil have no choice but to go back?
I think the story I told you completely explains it."
"Sona and Lena... Sent Cecil back?"
"Looking at the way it was handled, it probably didn't matter what happened to Cecile. Still, a colleague? It's disgusting."
"…"
Kren seems to have finally grasped the seriousness of the situation.
"I'll go back and talk about it. It can't all be true! If I talk about it, I'm sure there will be some misunderstandings."
I turned around and grabbed Cren.
"Then I'll be honest with you."
"Me, what should I do?"
"How about this?"
And she threw the bait.
