Rejecting this quest will permanently block the opening of the Special store.
āā¦.ā¦ā
If there was nothing you could do. You should change directions.
[It might be a good opportunity.]
Just by completing the quest, she can get a relic and open the store. There is no rule saying that a treasure has to be a holy object, but it is highly probable. In addition, the lottery system will be available when the Special store opens.
She doesnāt know what she will get if she wins a lottery, but it may have something to do with the āPhilosopherās Stoneā, the ultimate goal of the game.
[Maybe I can clean up and leave the Imperial palace.]
Lelia made up her mind and immediately turned around and walked to Ruth.
āHey, what are you worried about?ā
She asked with a calm face.
***
Surprisingly, Ruth spoke up about his worries. Even when she read the story, she felt that he had a simple personalityā¦
He didnāt raise her vigilance either so it was a good thing for her. He seems to have lowered his barriers, perhaps because he already knew Romeo and that she was a relative of his.
āAh⦠I am at a loss as to what to do.ā
āā¦ā
Ruthās concerns were very difficult.
[How to confess to Julianna is the biggest concern of his lifeā¦]
Lelia was distraught and leaned her body against the back of her bench.
She thought, āLetās abandon itā, but she soon erased it.
Ruth was one of the heroes who came back after struggling on the battlefield for several years. It was rude to think of him like this.
But it was annoying.
[Why do I have to be a stepping stone for the male and female lead?]
Lelia looked at the small letters on the quest list in the corner of her field of vision.
There are two quests in progress.
One was Kalixās, and the second was a sub-quest.
[Sub Quest~]
ā Helping a troubled young man confess his love
Lelia sighed secretly, unknown to Ruth.
Ruth confided all of his worries and scratched the back of his head shyly now.
āItās strange to me that Iām talking to Sir Raymond about my troubles. I guess itās because I think you know a lot about women.ā
āWhat do you meanā¦?ā
Lelia asked in surprise. She wondered if he had noticed that she was a woman.
But Ruth waved his hand and said.
āItās just a style that seems quite popular with women. I havenāt been to the capital recently either⦠Itās said that a man with a beautiful appearance, like you, is popular among the nobles of the capital.ā
āOhā¦ā
āI donāt feel attractive⦠Ah⦠Maybe Julianna doesnāt like someone like me, Sir. Right?ā
The gentle Ruth pulled away from her and asked an awkward question. Then he immediately turned pale and answered himself.
āOh, itās not meant to be. If you look at the way she went with Kalix earlierā¦ā
Lelia watched as he asked and answered questions by himself and asked a question of her own.
āCome to think of it⦠why are those two suddenly taking a walk together? They probably arenāt friends.ā
As far as Lelia knew it.
When she brought up the question, Ruth became agitated.
āI donāt know either. After dinner, Julianna suddenly approached Kalix⦠She looked at Kalix the whole time during dinner. You donāt think she fell in love with Kalix, do you?ā
ā Well⦠she might fall for him.ā
Kalix was a good looking man, even if he did his front swivel 100 times.
To be honest, Ruth was being far-fetched. The problem was that it was possible. When it comes to his charm, Kalix took the top spot. He is tall and handsome, dark skin that women love, and a long and thick muscular body.
Personality is a bit⦠Even so, that was also one of Kalixās charms.
At that moment, Ruth let out a squeaking sound and laughed.
āYeah, isnāt he crippled? He wonāt be able to see in the future, how can she like someone like that⦠.ā
āā¦?ā
Lelia doubted her ears.
In the original, Ruth was a very upright young man. He canāt afford to say such rude thingsā¦
Ruth closed his eyes tightly as he realized his mistake too late. He tried to take back the words he had said out late.
āOf course I donāt mean to offend Sir Kalix. However⦠However⦠Iām sorry. Please pretend you didnāt hear it.ā
Yes, it must be because he is blinded by Julianna.
In the novel, Ruth was the kind of person whose way of thinking fell apart when it came to things related to her.
Lelia suddenly did not want to proceed with this quest.
She was offended.
If Kalix hadnāt injured his eyes, the war with the light dragon would not have ended.
The Ruth that criticized her dear friend was quickly regarded as an enemy.
She jumped up as a sudden surge of displeasure coursed through her.
āIt is late. Iām not feeling well, so Iāll have to go back.ā
āOh, I see. Thank you for listening to my concerns today, Sir Raymond.ā
āYes.ā
Ruth caught Lelia, who was about to leave.
āCan you listen to my concerns again next time? Itās hard to tell anyone else⦠.ā
āā¦ā
Lelia looked angrily at the quest window in one corner of her field of vision.
[Okay, letās wait for now. Letās wait⦠The moment I finish the quest, I will smash his face with my fists.]
She barely unclenched her fists and nodded her head, and Ruthās face brightened.
That was when.
āWhat are you doing here?ā
It was Kalix and Julianna, who had walked past here earlier. They seemed to have found Lelia and Ruth by coming back this way.
Kalix raised one eyebrow and looked at the two in turn.
āā¦ā
Julianna also looked at the two with curious eyes. Then she made eye contact with Lelia.
Lelia couldnāt help but panic at Juliannaās subsequent actions.
