Episode 106

I glanced at Frickson.

‘What the hell is that idiot?’

But he wasn’t looking at me.

He just glared at the middle-aged man who had just crawled out with burning eyes.

‘Ohh? Quite hostile.’

At least everyone knew that he had some sort of relationship with him.

The fat man who came out messing around glanced at Frickson, then put a sneer on his lips.

It was as if he was going to jump on it if he wanted to jump on it.

However, Frixon, who clenched his fists tightly, did not move.

He seemed to be controlling his anger.

As soon as he disappeared in a carriage, the frozen atmosphere eased a little.

“Ah, sorry. I have my own circumstances.”

“If it’s that kind of reaction, I’ll understand without explaining it. Roughly, does that guy become the enemy of the family?”

“To me, he’s uncle. A man named Silant.”

“Because he’s a bone-trainer… well, isn’t that a common story?”

In any group with money and power, there was bound to be a struggle for succession between brothers.

Isn’t that the case with Adele right now?

“That’s right. I hung out with bad people and got kicked out. But after my grandfather passed away, they started sticking around asking for an inheritance.”

“therefore?”

“Of course they didn’t give it to us. That’s why they set up another company and did all sorts of depravity. Now they think of our company as some kind of enemy.”

Frickson frowned as if he was getting fed up just by imagining it.

“You’re a person you can’t deal with. Now that you’re back, just blow them up in a duel. You’ve improved a lot.”

“I still think so.”

As if he had come with a firm determination, he put on a firm expression.

‘I thought this would be fun?’

The splendid revenge of the second son who returned home in gold, isn’t there a picture drawn for some reason?

With an excited expression, I followed Frixon into the upper building.

In the upper office, a thin middle-aged man with a dejected face was sitting on a chair and holding his head.

Seeing that there was no response when he opened the door, he must have been in serious trouble.

Frickson spoke cautiously to the gray-haired man.

“Father, I am here.”

The middle-aged man’s eyes suddenly lifted his head, and his eyes were empty.

Soon, as if recognizing the other person, the eyes slowly began to glow.

“……Frixon! Welcome back. What happened all of a sudden? What about school?”

“I was on vacation. I plan to stay for the next three months.”

“Really? Welcome back. You must have had a hard time coming this far, why don’t you go in and rest?”

“I have a friend I’d like to introduce to you. It’s Ray Carter, who shares the joys and sorrows with me. He’s from the 4th subdivision.”

Frickson’s father, who finally found me, stretched out his hand with a smile on his face.

Where did the agony just now go, and only the father who welcomes his son remains.

“Heh heh! Nice to meet you. My name is Bill Mulgere.”

“Nice to meet you. Please feel free to talk to your son’s friends.”

“Is that so? He behaves well and devotes himself. He is a young man I like. Have a good time during your stay.”

“I don’t know what to do with the compliment.”

“It’s not like this, but I should tell you to prepare dinner first. I’m a bit busy right now, so let’s see you in the evening.”

“Thank you for the invitation.”

I bowed my head slightly, trembling with humility in a style that was well liked by adults.

Then Bill Mulgear smiled happily.

“Father, but I just…”

“It’s no big deal. We have guests, but we’d better talk about household chores later. Go upstairs first.”

“Ah yes.”

Frickson was about to say something, but was silenced by his father’s restraint.

If you bring up the story of your uncle in a pleasant place, it will only ruin the atmosphere.

Eventually, we came out of the upper building and moved somewhere in a carriage.

However, Frixon, who was deep in thought, turned to me and tilted his head.

“But what? How are you behaving?

“As expected, the eyes of adults are accurate.”

“Such an abomination!”

Knowing my usual appearance, he started scratching at my arm, saying that I was getting chicken skin.

Who is this guy? He says he is the son of a merchant family, but he doesn’t know how to live.

* * *

Frickson’s house was a mansion in the center of Poven.

As befits a family that runs a large guild, the house was also grand.

“It’s a bit shabby. They focus on reinvesting rather than spending what they earn.”

what? is this ugly?

Deception is also oily, the sound of this bastard being full… … .

If you lived in an assassin’s house for even a day, you wouldn’t say such a thing.

‘I’m afraid of the back of my head.’

I thought so, but I shrugged my shoulders as if I was used to it.

“I understand. We are similar.”

“Your house is also on the frugal side, isn’t it? Now, you can use the room here.”

“thanks.”

After unpacking in the guest room, I went straight to the mansion.

Of course, I only looked around the house briefly, but the actual purpose was different.

Sitting on top of the fence and looking toward the plaza, a terrifying sight unfolded.

Of course, it definitely didn’t mean that the scenery was cool.

“After all, coming down to the warm south, the clothes become lighter.”

Apparently overhearing himself, Frixon shook his head.

“It’s a habit that will never change.”

“Have you never heard of the word ‘heroic’? That means this body is great.”

“It’s just an illness! Come down now.”

“You come up too. Hey, that woman looks like Sophia.”

“What?”

As he spoke in a hurry and gestured, Frickson jumped up and landed on the fence.

However, the woman he was expecting did not even exist in the first place.

‘Why? I’ll ask.’

I twitched my eyebrows and pushed my face toward Frickson.

With an evil smile on his lips.

“Ohhh? Such a violent reaction to the name Sophia… Huh? You can’t believe it?”

“no!”

“A strong negative equals a strong positive.”

“no.”

“To say it small, it’s too late. Your true intentions have already been exposed. It’s quite surprising that you secretly have a crush on Sophia.”

“Hey!”

Frickson took a broom from the fence and began to wield it wildly.

However, I wasn’t a person who was easy enough to fit into such a poor number.

Whoo! Whoa!

“Hey! Hoy!”

Frickson’s face turned red as he evaded all of them with a humorous scream from his mouth.

“You, you bastard! Aren’t you standing there?”

“Whoops! It’s still a long way. Come back stronger.”

“What are you talking about? Great!”

Whoops! Tadat!

A rather sharp attack came in, but this time it was just a meaningless waste.

In addition, I showed off the art of leaping from the fence and doing somersaults.

Then, only dejection remained on Frixon’s face.

“If you put it in terms of squeamishness, it’ll be a real demon king level.”

“What about the Great Demon King, even if the Demon God comes?”

I replied with a shrug of my shoulders at the words of the guy who seemed to have given up for some reason.

But that was just then.

Tuoong! Udangtang!

The front door of the mansion opened violently, and someone came rolling in.

Frickson and I, who were playing around, looked at the intruder with puzzled expressions.

It was so out of the blue that I didn’t even think about reacting.

However, Frickson, who tilted his head, hurriedly approached the opponent and shouted something.

“Brother Jake?”

“Huh? All of a sudden, you’re my older brother?”

After getting off the fence, I quickly ran over and checked the man’s details.

‘I went through a lot of hardships, but fortunately there is no damage to my life.’

To the extent that your face is swollen from being beaten a lot?

It was a minor injury that could be quickly healed with just a few bottles of potion.

Of course, this is just my point of view.

“What son of a bitch did this!”

Frickson opened his eyes and looked at the front door.

It seemed like if a pleural effusion were found, he would run to it and slice it up.

But before long, a word flew in and the guy couldn’t move his body.

“There’s nothing to be excited about. This is a duel with a notary public.”

“You guys…”

The tall man who appeared out of nowhere smiled and continued.

“So, you wished you knew better when you said nice things, right?

and! Even when I saw that, my personality exploded too much.

It’s almost like it’s been smashed and rubbed.

By the time that thought came to mind, Frixon, unable to hold back his anger, jumped up.

Judging by how tightly he gripped the handle of the sword, it seemed that he was about to engage in a duel.

‘yes. Go and crush that unlucky bastard!’

I internally cheered for such a guy and snickered at my inner dance.

However, Frickson did not pull out his sword in the end.

It was because Jake, who thought he had fainted, grabbed his leg.

chin!

“Don’t be rash.”

The situation that was about to go to the extreme ended like that.

We helped Jake into the mansion.

Then Bill Mulgear, who had been waiting at the banquet hall, came running in a month.

“What happened?”

“……I got caught up in Malcolm’s scheme.”

“No, what did he do?”

“He sent a spy disguised as a guest, signed a contract, and started a dispute over a trivial matter. It wasn’t a big deal with someone he hadn’t seen before…”

Jake told me step by step what had happened at the trading post.

It’s possible that he wasn’t in a hurry because he was beaten so much, but the explanation felt clear.

‘The force is weak, but the pulpit is first-class. After all, it’s an upper-class family competing for supremacy in Poven.’

Jake’s story is over, but there are still unanswered questions.

Frickson, who, like me, didn’t quite understand the situation, posed a question to Bill Mulgear.

“Father, what the hell happened? Why are they playing this ruse?”

“that’s…….”

Uncle Bill stopped talking and looked at me.

It seemed that he felt sorry for having guests and only talking about the family.

Interested in their conversation, I smiled softly and said,

“I’m fine. Feel free to talk to me.”

“Is that okay?”

“From my point of view, the matter seems quite serious. It seems that Frixon’s older brother is also seriously injured.”

“Hmm. Then let’s talk for a minute.”

Bill Mulgear immediately turned to Frickson.

Then he spoke with a puzzled expression.

“Recently, Count Poven changed the dueling rules within the territory. The best-of-three duels have become the standard.”

“That turned the game upside down.”

“That’s right. Previously, only one Mr. Talos was enough to hold on, but now I need two warriors.”

As the escort leader of the Merchant Merchant, Talos has always performed excellently in his mission as a warrior.

However, due to the sudden change to the best-of-three system, there was a power vacuum.

It’s not easy to find a great warrior right now, so he takes advantage of the opportunity to start a fight.

Naturally, the person who was aiming for the top of the list was Frixon’s uncle, Sealant.

“They’ve been fighting a duel for a few days, and it seems they’ve finally taken action.”

“Anyway, one of the opponents will be Malcolm, right? That guy is enough to win.”

From my point of view, Frickson’s level was much higher than that of Malcolm.

Of course, the difference in size was quite large, but swordsmanship isn’t just about strength.

But Bill Mulgear’s reaction was skeptical.

“Malcolm is nothing.

“Could it be that it’s fallen that much? Didn’t they catch it?”

“It looks like Count Poven has connections. The bribe they pay seems enormous.”

The Extreme Blood Group was a huge group of demons active in the western part of Poven, in the central and southern part of Railhash.

It was a name that traders in the vicinity trembled.

Because it was a group that was truly brutal.

In addition, Frickson lowered his head at the words that followed.

“Then we…. there will be no one to compete at all. The opposite side will have an extremely bloody character.”

The banquet hall was momentarily engulfed in a gloomy atmosphere.

Frickson was frustrated by the reality that he could not overcome even after polishing his skills for a year.

I looked at the guy and smiled.

‘But it’s not fun when it ends like this. Shall we play around for the first time in a while?’

What’s good about friends?

Raising my right hand, I naturally drew the attention of the audience.

“Is there anyone who can compete as a member of the top of Mulgear?”
