102 – Studying and training are so annoying #4

There is such a thing as personal space.

I couldn’t remember exactly what it meant, but to explain as best I could, it meant that each person had a sense of distance.

sense of distance.

All people lived by creating invisible ‘barriers’ around them.

A radius of about 2 meters.

There were people who could freely come and go in the barrier, and there were also people who would never yield that distance to others.

Garot, so to speak, was closer to the latter.

I seldom give others the distance to approach.

It’s not as easy to get close to as you might think—that’s what I mean.

However, Garot first suggested to me, “Can you give me some time?”

There was no reason to turn down this opportunity when he wanted to get close to Garot.

In many ways, there were many things to share about the future.

I had to ask more about El Cladeco’s plans, and there was a lot to talk about about Astarosa, who was locked up underground.

anyway.

evening time.

Brigitte said she was working overtime today to talk to El Cladeco.

“Eat first. I’m going to be a little late because I have something to say about El and the experiment.”

The voice coming through the magic terminal is very strange.

This is a real cell phone itself.

Talking to someone far away was actually a really great thing.

What principle?

Even if you know it, it will be difficult to understand.

I couldn’t even understand how a 21st century phone worked.

I just thought so and wrote it.

“I’m leaving the children to that Sifnoy… ! While this Sifnoy, Juda-sama and Brigitte-sama aren’t here, I’m trying to keep the mansion perfectly safe… !”

When I was about to empty the mansion with Garot and dinner.

Said Sifnoi very confidently.

“When today’s care ends well, I really want to write that ’employment contract’… ! This Sifnoi is also a weekly allowance and vacation… . I mean, I want to receive it… !”

Right.

Sifnoy was pretty much an unpaid worker now.

I was very anxious about leaving my child with this guy, but Enkidus decided to stay at the mansion today.

If Enkidus were there, he would be able to adequately respond to any accident.

“Dad wants you to have a good trip… !”

Soon, Naruga came out from the entrance of the mansion to the garden and hugged my legs tightly.

Also, Cecily, who was supposed to sleep at our mansion today, came out to the garden and greeted her, saying, “I’ll see you off.”

Then he added a word.

“I wish I had one of the peacock feather fans sold downtown. Antoinette from class B was proud of it.”

“I wish Naroo had a comb or something to brush Morumoru’s hair… !”

Right.

It’s like meeting you to buy something in town.

Indeed, having a thorough sense of purpose resembles me.

When I was young, I also asked for pocket money while organizing shoes in the closet or washing dishes for myself.

It was a method that worked well for me.

comb.

And is it debt?

These are good items to increase princess power.

Garot appeared when I had it stored in my head.

“It took a little time to prepare. egg plant.”

It took time to prepare, but it looked the same as usual.

Boots that look sturdy with tight-fitting leather pants.

What was different from the usual was that he was wearing a black leather coat with iron plates, but the barrel looked long and strong, so it would be good to defend himself in case of an emergency or hide a weapon inside.

“Does that coat sound like a good thing?”

“Do you recognize it? I have heard that the good taste of good thieves is just as good as that of condescending collectors.”

that’s right

You have to figure out what expensive things are so you won’t steal them.

In that sense, thieves had to have eyes to accurately see the value of things.

I steal all items, but those who specialize in items with artistic value, such as collections of books, calligraphy and painting, sheet music, and pottery, study like a doctor.

Such was the case with Salome.

The reason Salome hasn’t been seen for the past few days is probably because she’s aiming for ceramics in museums or paintings hanging in rich people’s houses.

Shuk-.

Garot immediately put a hat on his head.

It was a guy with a long brim at the front and back, and it looked like a V.

“They are thoroughly armed.”

I was very surprised to see her dressed in a lot of clothes, instead of only wearing light outfits.

Garot said, perhaps feeling my gaze.

“A neat mind springs from a neat demeanor. If possible, maintaining a well-groomed appearance is advantageous to survival.”

It is advantageous for survival—is it?

It’s nice that Garrot’s way of thinking is easy to understand.

That was right.

Being neat and clean makes a good impression on people and is good for hygiene.

In fact, 10 out of 10 successful people were determined.

The life of a back alley failed loser is filthy in many ways.

“Did you learn from your mother?”

Garot’s mother, Lady Rione.

Garrot shook his head as he wondered if it was a lesson he had learned from her.

“It’s on my father’s side.”

Wasn’t Garot’s father a barbarian barbarian?

I thought that all savages were tough and lived lives, but it seems they weren’t.

anyway.

With that feeling, we headed for the busy street of Freesia No. 2.

The road from the high-class mansion street in number 5 to number 2 was fairly close, so it was nice that I didn’t have to take a carriage or rent a horse.

* * *

The downtown area of number 2.

Street lights operated by magic shine dazzlingly, and stores that operate until late in the evening rather open their doors wide and attract customers.

On a Friday afternoon, if you imagine a city center where young people walk around in pairs or with their peers, friends, and colleagues, you can easily picture the streetscape of Number 2.

Musicians perform in an overly dazzling park.

A place where nobles go out for a walk and walk gracefully through the streets.

All the fancy people in Phrygia seemed to be in this street number two, but Garot, among all the various people, caught the attention of the people.

“Look at that person.”

“It’s completely gloomy.”

“Are they Barbarians? What’s going on in this downtown area?”

“I hope it doesn’t cause trouble.”

It was clear that Garrot was a beauty, but perhaps because he covered his face with a hat, he now looked like a black dot.

Even from a height, it would look like a black ink drop on a brightly lit street.

“Garot, although you can kill a presence in the bush, you can’t melt at all at this distance.”

“… … .”

Garot didn’t answer my joke.

Just look at everything that sparkles around you.

Then he said little.

“To be honest, it doesn’t suit me. Everything sparkles and exposes weaknesses.”

I’m quick to admit.

However, it was Garot himself who asked to come to this unsuitable street.

Since I’m talking about training, let’s go into some kind of dungeon and break through together—I thought I’d say something like that.

Why did you come here?

As I was wondering, Garot said.

“Judah, as much as you are called the king of thieves, your aesthetic must be excellent. Also, when I saw you attended the mansion’s party last time, you were surprisingly knowledgeable in etiquette.”

Even if he has good taste, he is well versed in etiquette.

I just thought it was the average modern person in the 21st century.

Of course, on the continent of Pangea, which is full of rude people, modern people in the 21st century belonged to a fairly decent class.

So, what is my point of telling this story now?

I was thinking of spinning the story around for some reason, but Garot immediately spoke directly.

“Maybe I need to change too. It seems that the old Ragdolls want me to debut in society. It sounds like you want to brag about your granddaughter.”

“Five.”

“Of course I was going to refuse, but when I heard Cecily’s story, she said that Cecily’s mother was an elegant aristocrat. I feel that if I don’t become an elegant aristocrat, I won’t be recognized as a mother by Cecily until the end.”

Right.

It was quite a story.

When Cecily still sees me, she says, “I can’t admit that you are Cecily von Ragdoll’s father… !”

Do you think I’m such a rude villain?

It’s true.

Garot seemed to be having similar concerns these days.

Having these worries must mean that she wants to be acknowledged as a mother by Cecily in her own way.

I think I know why they called me and how it feels.

“Well.”

I was lost in thought for a while.

Maybe there was silence for about 5 seconds.

“I’d better change the outfit first.”

Garot asked, “Clothes?” as if questioning my conclusion.

I answered lightly.

“A well-groomed appearance is an important law? First of all, Garot, your outfit right now doesn’t look like an aristocrat at all. It’s like someone came to kill me.”

“… … .”

“It’s a clothing store, so it’s better to go somewhere and change clothes first.”

“No, that is unacceptable. For hunters, this outfit is like a school uniform. Is there anything else besides the clothes? A way to melt into the aristocratic world.”

Garot’s opinion was firm.

You can’t forcefully take off your clothes and put them back on.

It’s a way to melt into the world of nobility.

If you can’t change your appearance, you’ll have no choice but to update your software.

“I can’t. Follow me.”

“Where are you going?”

I walked through the city with Garot.

The place was fixed, so there was no need to hesitate.

The place we arrived at was a fairly large building.

This Phrygian Opera House——it was a place that could be called a good place.

“here is?”

“Opera House. It’s a place to watch performances like plays. Haven’t you been there before?”

“does not exist.”

Shuk-.

I booked two tickets for a bizarre play titled “Taming the Villainous Lady.”

The title was strange, but that was the only thing I could go in on time.

Shuk-.

When I finally entered the theater, there were quite a lot of people.

“If you say it’s a play, isn’t it a lie? How many people gathered to see something like this? I honestly don’t understand. However, I have heard that nobles have a taste for watching things like this.”

Garot couldn’t understand it, but at the same time he was convinced.

According to Cecily, Garrot likes to watch things——it seemed.

How is it in reality?

charrr-.

Finally the curtain rises and some boys and girls appear and shout.

“I am Tae-onoi… ! You have to tame the mean noble ladies… ! Otherwise, this Teo-noi will die… !”

It was a strange play.

It was a story about a man who taught and tamed various ill-tempered women and turned them into good noble ladies.

The conclusion is that everyone lived happily ever after.

When the curtain finally rose, I let out a yawn I had been holding back.

“The content is a bit more boring than I thought.”

What was Garot like?

did you sleep?

While thinking about that, Garot was looking at the actors greeting each other on stage.

Those eyes are quite bright.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen a play, but it’s more fun than I thought. It is the moment when the stories my mother told me come to mind.”

“yes?”

Garrot likes to watch plays and operas——it seems to have been true.

In order to increase the favorability of Garot, it would be better to ask Cecily about various things.

As I walked out of the theater with such thoughts in mind, it was already late in the evening.

“I must go back now. Now that I have participated in a dignified cultural life, can I be called a nobleman now?”

At Garrot’s story, I activated the scouter.

Garot’s princess power should be considered C-.

If she went to Cecily in this state, she would only murmur, “That’s not like a noble!”

Garot said, “Is there any way?” while thinking about it.

“Then, as a reward for hanging out with me, I will tell you about the tracking technique. Everyone has karma. And even the smallest gestures and steps leave traces of karma.”

“yes?”

“Awaken your senses sensitively. And if you focus on the floor where the footprints will be left, you will be able to read the karma contained in the footprints. Of course, it will take at least a year to awaken.”

“One year.”

I made my senses sensitive.

footprint.

Read the karma contained there.

Soon, I began to see softly shining footprints in my eyes.

“Five. I see. footprint!”

“I didn’t think it would be so easy to learn just by knowing the secret. Did you have a knack for stealing technology? It’s a pity.”

Garot slightly stuck out his tongue.

Did I pout because I acquired the skill too easily?

Garot also had a cuter corner than I thought, but I was busy looking at the footprints nearby.

“It’s fucking amazing.”

Let’s call this skill “Footprint Reading”, a C-rank skill.

Zuuu-.

Then I saw footprints shining golden in front of my eyes.

The size is 240 cm.

Perhaps it is a woman’s footprint.

The odd thing was that it was the only thing that was flashing gold.

And it was a trace of bare feet without shoes.

“It wasn’t too long ago. Why is it that only one footstep stands out?”

I moved to a nearby alley to hone my tracking skills.

Then I saw a woman in a gray robe sitting against the wall of the park.

The feet exposed under the robe are also bare feet.

Why aren’t you wearing shoes?

bum?

It looks like that at first glance, but the karma left in the footprints was above average.

strong.

Before I had time to react, the woman laughed, revealing sharp fangs from under her robes.

“Oh, to think that there would be someone who read the karma of Bindo and pursued it. I thought you were the leader of the Church of Yahbach, but what the heck, you’re a lost child.”

“Who?”

“Names have long since lost their meaning. Now he is just a cleaner who came to clean up the mistakes of his foolish disciple. However, a journey is meant to schedule unexpected encounters.”

what are you talking about

The robe slipped off when I felt my doubts.

What was revealed were dazzling golden eyes.

His face was so bright that he couldn’t see it, and his eyes were so powerful.

“Ugh.”

You’re too dazzling.

Is it a true twin light?

While I was frowning, Garot spoke first.

“There is no other gold eye that has been trained like this. Are you, by any chance, the great master of the Ilgwang Ascension?”
