Chapter 108 – Uneasy Silence

The reconstruction of the military district, previously wrecked by Rafal, was nearing its pletion. The light fixtures on the tall buildings that lined up the district had returned their glow, and the researchers had begun working once again to make up for the lost time.

The middle aged man Mugan who worked for Roxy, could only lament as he has a daughter that was too devoted in her job as researcher, for she wouldn't be ing back home again anytime soon. The two of us seemed to get along fine since our first meeting, and have been spending times in tavern together whenever he had time. Even now, we were drinking at the tavern as the sun went down.

Mugan tended to be looser when he's drunk. Most of what he talked about usually revolved around his daughter though. As a father, all he wanted was for her to settle down and make a good family soon. And now that the same daughter herself had shown some interest in me, he forced me to listen to his drunken ramblings.

But this was a misunderstanding. What she's interested in was my black sword Greed. I'd been telling him that, but he won't have any of it.

[Fate, what did you and my daughter do today?]

[The usual things]

[Really?]

[If you are that curious, then you should just e along next time. That'd be for the best.]

Earlier today, I visited the military district and had myself examined until noon. I had to put on a helmet that was connected to a weird machine, which was said to be checking my something something, I didn't really catch it honestly. I also got my blood taken out via injection… for some reason, I felt like I was treated like a lab rat.

Greed also experienced something similar, but it didn't seem to be as weird or painful at all, since he ended up being more shiny than before. I suppose that was Raine's work.

[Right, I need to visit Raine. But I can't because I have something to do tomorrow.]

[Yeah, I know. I've heard from Roxy. There is a disturbance in the hobgoblin forest. The goblins must be up to something.]

[There are reports of attacks on the hawkers. It may not be anything big yet, but it's better to nip it in the bud as soon as possible.]

[Who would've thought that two holy knights would need to be dispatched to handle those goblins…]

Mugan scowled, then drank the wine left on his glass.

The barkeeper promptly refilled the empty glass. Then said with a troubled face.

[About what you two are talking about, I've heard the rumour from the warriors that frequent this place. As a businessman, I'd want this trouble to be settled as soon as possible. I'll be expecting good news, Fate.]

[Will do. Is it affecting your supply of wine already?]

[No, not yet. However, it may turn out the same as when that monster Lich went rogue last time.]

I almost spewed my wine out when I heard that. Seemingly satisfied with my reaction, the barkeeper moved on to another customer.

While I was wiping the wine off my mouth, I heard Mugan grumble.

[I also heard about that Lich. As you said, it's been wreaking havoc in various places.]

[Please cut it out.]

[Hahahahaha……my bad. We'll meet again tomorrow.]

Mugan pulled the stopper from the wine bottle and poured himself another shot. This man will only act this relaxed if he's sure that nothing will go wrong.

But for some reason I couldn't get this sense of danger out of my head.
