I asked Ahin to solve the problem of the mother and the children. Even if we gave them money, the father would just snatch it away, and since we were in Sherto, it was evident that the emotions and cultures of the people were different from Agrigient, so I reached out to Ahin.

  I wondered if it would be enough to give them some simple chores in the tower of Bruges, and fortunately, he went with a paladin.

  Ahin was embarrassed because it happened in Sherto, Assisi was a man of Agrigient.

  Assisi’s act shocked everyone.

  What the hell wasn’t I being told? Did I look like someone who wouldn’t understand? Did I seem like a kid?

  Thinking about it just annoyed me.

  Ah, damn it.

  Every time I thought, I got angry, but there was no way to solve it. I couldn’t let Havel or Ahin, who were innocent, get involved with the mess.

  The more I thought about it, and the more my brain hurt, the more I looked like a horrible master.

  “Saw the fight?”


  As I walked back to my room, Havel, who was passing by, asked me.

  Was it seen on my face?

  Ahin and this guy, why did they have such good eyes? I gave up and sighed.

  “How did you know?”


  “Because I heard everything.”


  It seemed like he heard what Valer and I talked about.

  I went silent. Havel titled his head.

  “Must have been special.”


  It was weird, but his words made me feel relieved.

  “Do you think I was wrong? Did I cross the line?”


  Valer said yes, and everyone else noticed it. If even Havel said yes, then I was ready to think that I was too forceful.

  Yes, I did all that because everyone was out doing what they wanted.

  I didn’t know the reason, but I knew that I pushed too much.

  Havel didn’t say yes.

  “Well.”


  “What kind of answer is that?”


  It wasn’t a yes, and I felt relieved yet uncomfortable. At my words, Havel shrugged.

  “It could be too much from someone’s point of view, but it might not be so from someone else.”


  Who didn’t know that?

  That was the reason I asked him what he thought.

  It was a bit strange because I understood what he was trying to say. Well, he was one weird guy, so it was understandable.

  “Go to sleep. Stop overthinking it.”


  Stroking my hair, I felt good. I turned to Havel.

  Havel paused and asked.

  “How much longer do you think this trip will last?”


  “I think it will come to an end soon.”


  I answered without delay.

  Havel turned to me upon hearing my answer. Seeing his crimson eyes, I smiled.

  “My dad might lose it soon.”


  Havel smiled back. His lips turned up a little; he looked pretty cool.

  Man, he was handsome.

  “Right.”


  As if convinced, Havel nodded. Just thinking about dad had relaxed my mind.

  Oh, I was turning severe too.

  “Good night.”


  “You, too, sleep well.”
