It was a story that was not laughable on Shin’s side.
“Okay, I understand the story for the time being. I can only keep going. Is there no specific time for the summon?”
Shin asked Barlux.
“For that, we will contact them from here. That’s right, how about 9’s bells tomorrow, good?”
“I’d like it. Ah, then what clothes should I wear? Because I didn’t expect to meet the royal family.”
Though Girard was also considered as royalty, they had the familiarity as friends, and because Shin was treated like a guest in Falnido, he didn’t mind his clothes in particular. Because everyone around dressed in clothes that emphasized ease of movement, he couldn’t use it as a reference in the opinion of a royal castle such as Bayreuth.
“Dress code is not demanded, for an adventurer who is not a noble. You should keep your appearance neat though.”
“To begin with, the armed state can be said to be the uniform of an adventurer. And there’s hardly a guy that possesses clothes similar to a noble.”
Hearing Barlux and Arad talking, there seemed to be no regulations on that subject.
“Is there anything else you want to ask? I think I can advise a little.”
Arad asked Shin.
“…I don’t have anything on my mind in particular. You might say, because it’s my first time like this.”
“It might not meet with your expectations. The next thing that we are able to say is, do not make a commitment due to such a place. Depending on the other party, because they might bring up again about your fault persistently for a moment, it might be depressing for you.”
“Haha, I’ll be careful.”
Somehow a genuine feeling could be sensed from Arad’s words. He might have experienced it himself.
“Old man Royl dislikes nobles. Though it doesn’t apply to all nobles, well because there are such people too, you should really be careful.”
“I understand.”
Shin replied to Barlux with a wry smile.
Actualy, like in novels and anime he had seen, he expected the existence of corrupt nobles that were only skillful at faultfinding.
Shin has not yet met a noble in this world. However, people raised in the privileged class who were only good at looking down at others, often existed.
Afterwards, Shin learnt about some etiquettes and left the office.
When he returned to the hall, there was a crowd in the corner of the hall.
“Yeah, indeed, it’s as I expected.”
Needless to say, at the center of the crowd was Schnee and Tiera.
Shin consented because he expected it to turn this way if the two people were left alone.
“Hiss!!”
Yuzuha was heard to be threatening.
The surrounding men that enclosed them, probably didn’t know that they would become minced meat the moment that Yuzuha got involved.
Still, because it would be unpleasant to have casualties inside the guild, Shin approached the crowd before Yuzuha exploded.
“Excuse me. Tiera, let’s go.”
“Ah, yes!”
Schnee, who perceived Shin approaching, began to walk out with Tiera.
Additionally, at the same time, a slightly intimidating air was given out by Schnee. Defeated by that pressure, the men that encircled them backed off for several steps. Schnee and the others weaved their way out through the space resulting from that, and escaped from the crowd.
Shin realized that the men who were following the two people with their eyes, were also paying attention to him. Shin felt the pressure that he had never felt in real life.
(The day I receive this kind of stare finally comes.)
If he was very thick-headed, he might of not been aware of those envious eyes. While feeling depressed, Shin had an indescribable mood.
“Did they invite you two to a party?”
“Half of it was for a party invitation, the other half was a tea break invitation.”
“So did you accept any of it?”
“There are none.”
That evaluation from Schnee, spoken while having a perfect smile, was indeed sharp.
Her eyes stated that it’s not even worth considering.
“To have such a good matching level with Master, there are virtually none.”
Tiera said in an amazed way.
From the start, Schnee never thought of joining others except Shin.
“It’s only natural. Leaving that aside, how was the talk?”
Schnee asked.
“For the time being, I’ve heard about the subject. Before I explain, let’s move to another place. Here is a bit…”
It was not the kind of conversation done in an attracting attention situation.
Their moving destination was Bear Point Pavillion. When Shin stayed there last time, he had confirmed that the soundproofing was reliable.
