Climb thought that Evileye’s gaze stopped on him for a brief instant, then soon understood that he was right.
“—rivals the Golden Princess.”
Gagaran looked at Climb playfully. He predicted what she was going to say next and made the first move.
“What is beautiful and what is ugly is different for everyone. And to me, there is no one who is more beautiful than Renner-sama.”
“Yes~ Yes~.”
A voice of obvious disappointment.
“Hmm, we’ve went off topic quite a bit. I’m sorry for having you take part in needless chatter. We will start with our preparations like Lakyus instructed.”
Gagaran and Evileye stood from their seats. Climb also followed suit.
“Sorry, Climb. There’s a lot I want us to do together, but I don’t think now’s the time.”
“Not at all, Gagaran-san. Please don’t worry about it. And Evileye-sama as well, thank you for your advice.”
Gagaran silently stared at Climb then let out a tired laugh.
“Fine, you’re going back right? Look after the leader, will you? Bye bye, virgin. …And make sure you keep your items secure. That weapon at your waist isn’t what you normally use, no?”
“Right. This is in case for emergencies.”
“You don’t know what’s going to happen so even if you don’t wear your armor, at least always carry your sword with you. That’s what it means to be an adventurer, especially a warrior. Also, do you have the item that I gave you?”
“The bell? I have it right here.”
Climb tapped the pouch tied to his belt.
“I see. Then it’s fine. Remember, as warriors, the only thing we can do is swing our weapons. But that’s dangerous. Magic items are what lets us prepare for those dangers. Get a lot of items and hold onto them. And keep at least three bottles of potions with you. It’s what saved me in the past.”
He had three potions but only brought two with him. Climb responded that he understood.
“… You’re surprisingly considerate of others.”
“You making fun of me, Evileye? … Sorry for keeping you, Climb. Basically, what I want to say is to always be prepared beforehand.”
“I understand.”
Gagaran nodded deeply.
