T/N: I apologize for the sudden change of tense that I use. I’m still trying to grasp the basic of english grammar. I’m experimenting whether it’d feel better using present tense or past tense. Anyway one of the reason I translate Alsar is to improve my english so.. Bear with me? *winks*

This chapter set at the same day that Chris and Ren first met.
——————————————
When I came home late at night, the house butler told me that Malik-san contacted me.
“Malik-san tried to contact me?”
“Yes, he tried to contact Ferdinand-sama via adventurer guild. I told him that Ferdinand-sama is currently not here and I asked him whether he wanted me to pa.s.s his message or not but he said that we wanted to talk to Ferdinand-sama directly.”
“Hmm.. It’s unusual for Malik-san to contact me.. I wonder why?” I pondered then I turn my glance to the butler and said,”Thank you for your information, you may excuse yourself.”
“Certainly. Excuse me, Ferdinand-sama.”
Malik-san used to teach swordsmans.h.i.+p to both me and my brothers but that’s as far as our relations.h.i.+p goes.
When I became an adventurer, I’ve registered my main guild as the one in imperial capital and since Malik-san is the guild master of Pedrell Adventurer Guild, it’s quite unusual for him to reach out to me if it’s related to adventurer matter.
“Well, I won’t be able to know anything unless I contact him back.”
Good thing we’ve installed magical communication device in this house.
I will use the device to reach Pedrell Adventurer Guild.
