Chapter 112
“Sorry to disappoint you for not being a noble. Buying and selling noble status is strictly illegal, you see.”
“That’s fine. I like being a mercenary too.”
Since he was originally a thug in the real world, mercenary work might suit him well.
I decided to go to the city with Louis, who needed to get a new sword made.
I thought about bringing the egg along, but worried it might break, so I left it with the Count.
“Now that the black mage is gone, has the world destruction gauge disappeared too? I don’t have to act like a young lady anymore either?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
I nodded as I climbed into the carriage.
“So I can act however I want now.”
Louis grinned, showing his teeth.
When he smiles like that, he looks somewhat sinister. Is it because he’s a former thug?
“Still, please don’t cause too much trouble.”
When I asked, Louis told me not to worry and smiled.
Just as the carriage was about to pass through the gate, the coachman’s troubled voice reached us.
“Miss, there are too many people crowded in front of the gate for the carriage to get through.”
“What?”
People are crowding around? Why?
It was the moment I pulled back the curtain on the carriage window and looked outside.
“Holy Mage!”
“Wow! It’s the Holy Mage!”
“Please come down and greet us just once!”
Outside the carriage, people were swarming. Some of them were clinging to the carriage window, desperately trying to see me.
Why are they acting like this?
As I panicked and clutched the carriage curtain, Louis looked outside and turned to me.
“They all seem to be your fans?”
“My… fans?”
“You saved the Empire. So it’s not strange that you’d have fans.”
I looked outside the window again in bewilderment.
People were still surrounding the carriage. In this situation, the carriage couldn’t get through.
What should I do? As I was pondering, someone knocked on the window.
“Holy Mage! I’m a reporter from the Wales Gazette! Please give us just one interview!”
Even the newspaper came out?
When I didn’t know what to do, Louis asked if I wanted his help.
“How would you help?”
“There are ways.”
Louis said that and then flung open the carriage door. Then.
“All of you, get lost.”
He looked around the crowd with a menacing expression.
Instantly, the loud voices of the people that had been almost screaming stopped. They seemed frozen as they looked at Louis who had gotten out of the carriage.
“What are you doing? I said get lost.”
People hesitated and gradually backed away. The guards standing in front of the gate also joined in and began dispersing the crowd.
Louis’s face has more impact than I thought.
Even when he was Beatrice, his menacing expressions were terrifyingly scary.
But now that he’s back in his original body, he’d be even scarier.
People began murmuring that a bandit had gotten out of the Holy Mage’s carriage.
As I watched the situation from inside the carriage, the man who had introduced himself as a reporter from the Wales Gazette persistently approached and handed me his business card.
He was the only person who hadn’t frozen at Louis’s appearance.
“Holy Mage, please contact us when you have the chance!”
When Louis growled and glared at the Wales Gazette reporter, the reporter hastily backed away.
Then he winked at me and disappeared into the crowd.
Once the people backed away, the path finally cleared. Louis got back into the carriage.
“Let’s go.”
And when he knocked on the wall, the carriage began moving smoothly.
I fiddled with the business card the reporter had left.
Wales Gazette.
Wales was one of the largest newspapers in the Empire.
I put the business card straight into my handbag.
“Anyway, whether in South Korea or here, the life of a celebrity is tough.”
Louis grumbled, and I smiled softly while looking out the window.
When we finally arrived in the city, we got off in front of a weapon shop. Then a crowd of people who had somehow followed us came rushing toward me.
“Holy Mage!”
I looked around at the people in panic.
“Please shake hands with us just once!”
“Thank you for saving us!”
“Please smile just once!”
There seemed to be reporters mixed in among them, as I could hear the clicking sounds of magical photography devices.
As I stood frozen in panic, Louis stepped in front of me again.
Louis shouted with a menacing expression for them to get lost, then took me into the store.
“I didn’t know people would be this interested in me…”
Fortunately, the people didn’t follow us into the store.
I looked around at the weapons with Louis.
From swords to axes, and even knuckles. There were various weapons.
“What’s most comfortable for you, Louis?”
“For me, it’s swords. I was a Sword Master after all.”
Louis said that and approached the display case where swords were exhibited.
As Louis, who looked menacingly like a bandit, browsed the swords, the store owner nervously approached.
“Um, what are you looking for…”
“A sword that would suit me.”
When Louis grinned wickedly and looked at the store owner, he made a ‘hiik’ sound and hurriedly took out a sword to show him.
Is he really that scary?
“Th-this sword would suit you best.”
The sword the store owner offered looked extremely high quality at first glance.
Judging by the ornate gems decorating the sword hilt, it seemed quite expensive.
Louis took the sword and swung it a few times, then smiled with satisfaction.
“Rene, is this one okay?”
“Of course. I’d like to look at some backup swords too, if that’s alright?”
At my question, the store owner said ‘of course’ and showed us several swords.
Louis seemed pleased with the swords as he examined them from various angles. Watching him made me feel good too for some reason.
I said I’d buy all the swords the owner had shown us. The store owner’s face brightened considerably.
“All together, that’s 100,000 gold.”
The first sword he’d shown was definitely expensive.
As I was about to pay, Louis blocked my way and glared menacingly at the store owner.
“You’re not overcharging, are you?”
“N-no, no! How could I overcharge the great Holy Mage…!”
The store owner began explaining the price of each sword with a pale face.
Only then did Louis seem to drop his suspicion and step aside for me to pay. I gave the store owner the money I’d gotten from the Count.
“This is a bonus.”
The store owner offered a fairly expensive-looking dagger. Louis examined the sword and seemed pleased as he immediately attached it to his waist.
“Please be careful on your way back!”
The store owner bowed deeply toward us.
I left the store with Louis. However, the crowd that had set up camp in front of the store remained as it was.
As I looked at the people with a face wondering what to do.
Shing—.
Louis drew his sword. Then he placed the sword on his shoulder and looked over the people threateningly.
Thanks to that, the people didn’t try to rush at me like before.
Having safely boarded the carriage, I let out a sigh. Once Louis also got on the carriage, it began to start smoothly.
“By the way, when is your escort knight going to wake up?”
“I’m not sure either.”
I shook my head.
Since Kaisis said we’d meet soon, he would wake up before long, but not knowing when made me just as anxious.
“But since he said we’d meet soon… He’ll definitely wake up, definitely.”
When I spoke with my eyes shining determinedly, Louis nodded for me.
“Yes, you’ll definitely be able to meet again.”
Like that, we returned to the Count’s mansion.
The Count looked flustered seeing us return with an armload of swords, then soon said we did well and patted my head.
“Swords are essential for mercenaries. When you need to spend money, you have to spend it. Well done, Rene.”
To receive praise even after spending money.
Somehow my mood became strange.
* * *
It was the next day when Shamal came to find me.
As I was hugging Kaisis’s egg as always, I felt familiar magic power and then Shamal appeared on the balcony with a pop.
“Shamal!”
It had been a long time.
When I approached Shamal happily, Shamal looked at me with an excited face.
“Rene, Beatrice has returned to normal, how did this happen?”
