The Spearmaster and the Black Cat-Novel

Chapter 149: Rubia and Viine

Note: Skill <Suzerain of Household> changes to <Suzerain’s Bloodkin>

_______________________________________________________________

“…Viine, today I’m going to look for old acquaintances, so I plan to go to the Bar of Newcomers.” (Shuuya)

“You are going to gather other party members in addition to Rebecca-sama and Eva-sama?” (Viine)

Certainly, that would be a good idea, but…

“No, that’s not it. My acquaintances should live in the city here. Therefore I’d like to go and say hi at least once.” (Shuuya)

“I see. Master’s old acquaintances…” (Viine)

Viine mumbled while pondering it for a bit.

“What, all of them are good fellows. There’s the dwarven siblings, Zaga and Bon; the half-elf, Rubia; and a human woman who has changed her name. Four people in total.” (Shuuya)

I say while raising four fingers.

“So there’s four of them… What kind of people are they?” (Viine)

“The dwarven siblings are excellent smiths. They made my equipment. Rubia is an adventurer. Mia, who changed her name, should have become an adventurer as well, though I’m not sure. Since I have some clues as to where to find Rubia and the dwarves, I think I will be able to find them right away. But it’s quite doubtful that I will meet Mia for a while due to her now unknown name. She said that she will be the one to find me, but this place is big, and she might have started a different life.” (Shuuya)

For an instant Viine’s expressions darkens after hearing my words.

And then she nods and bows her head.

After a while, she lifts her face and stares at me while saying,

“…Is that so? Master, have you searched for these people for a long time?” (Viine)

“Rather than searched, I underestimated this city after coming here, I thought I would be able to meet them sooner or later.” (Shuuya)

“I see, this city is huge after all…when I arrived, it took me a long time to learn my way around here as well.” (Viine)

“That’s right, isn’t it? Actually…” (Shuuya)

The city’s interior is more densely packed than Hekatrail.

Just speaking of markets, there are several markets of various sizes all over the city. I definitely took it too lightly.

Mia, it’s because this city is really vast.

She should have experienced various things as well…

I will be happy if she’s living a cheerful, energetic life after putting her spiral of negativity behind her.

“I feel like I have heard the name Bar of Newcomers somewhere before, but where is it?” (Viine)

Viine has never gone there?

“It’s nearby. It’s on the First Ring Road, close to the guild.” (Shuuya)

Viine turns her eyes halfway towards the front.

“I see, around there, isn’t it…?” (Viine)

She murmurs.

“You never visited the bar?” (Shuuya)

“No, I haven’t, but I’ve gone to a different bar when Chainelas ordered me to gather personnel for a labyrinth run and to learn negotiating. It was called Bar of Heroes; I ended up going there.” (Viine)

Support the translator by reading this infinite translations.

Going by its name, I wonder whether pretty capable people gather there.

Well, that wealthy merchant likely wouldn’t have made her do anything pointless. I think it’s probably a gathering spot for proficient adventurers.

“Did you learn anything while you were there?” (Shuuya)

“Yes. Given that many members of the six top clans use that bar, I obtained not only experience in negotiation but also valuable information about the labyrinth. However, since there were also many rude adventurers aiming to scout new members, it was annoying.” (Viine)

I guess it’s a peculiarity of excellent people to attract such flies.

“I see. I might go there to have a look someday.” (Shuuya)

“Ok. I remember the place, so if you allow me to go with you, I will gladly guide you there,” (Viine)

Viine mentions with a smile.

“All right, please take care of me when we go. So, there’s still a sequel for today’s schedule.” (Shuuya)

“What is it?” (Viine)

“I plan to look for someone at the bar who can decipher a magic treasure map. In case there’s no one like that to be found there, I will probably go to the 【Magic Treasure Map Discovery Association】… If I find a cartographer, I will have them decipher my map. Once that’s done, I will be able to aim for the map’s treasure.” (Shuuya)

I briskly explain.

Viine affirms my words several times and then says,

“Alright…the magic treasure map. It’s the map we acquired the other day, correct? It would be best if you find someone possessing the deciphering skill, but…it is necessary to be careful while looking for a person with a map-reading skill. Please pay attention towards deciphering swindlers.” (Viine)

T-The heck’s that?

Some new trick like fake distress calls?

“There’s a fraud like that?” (Shuuya)

“Yes. I was taught to be very careful during business transactions and especially with exchanges between fellow adventurers…” (Viine)

I see.

Chianelas’ education was sure enthusiastic.

It gives a feeling that he crammed her brain with too much of this and that, but it appears he earnestly poured his passion into her education to sell her for a lot money.

Typical of Viine, she’s an amazing woman since she learned a lot from using that reason for her own advantage.

I respect her for that.

Buying Viine was spot on.

“…Master? Is there something on my face?” (Viine)

“Ah, no, that’s not it. You are beautiful and wise, so I just thought that I did really well to buy you.” (Shuuya)

“Th-…Thank you very much. I-I’m happy to have been able to meet a kind, strong male like you, Master…” (Viine)

Uhh, how adorable. Her cheeks became tinged with red.

The unusual gap from her usual, cool-headed image is nice.

“Hehe, let’s go outside then?” (Shuuya)

“Yes!” (Viine)

Leaving the inn, we head towards the First Ring Road where the guild is located.

Going past the guild, we arrive at the Bar of Newcomers and enter.

The smell of booze and tobacco permeates my nose.

It’s flourishing with groups of adventurers who sit around the round tables.

Despite it being just before noon, the revelry is in full swing.

Anyway, I wonder whether Rubia is present.

I let my eyes wander.

…Mmh~? I guess she’s not here.

Looking at the rough numbers, there are 40-50 people in the bar.

I suppose I will head straight for Bronkos at the counter in the middle.

I walk towards the center of the bar.

Sitting at the counter, I chat up Bronkos, who is preparing food.

“—Yo, Bronkos!” (Shuuya)

I greet him with a casual tone.

“Oh, ain’t that Shuuya? Mmh…you are accompanied by a beautiful woman, aren’t ya?” (Bronkos)

Seeing Viine with her bluish-white skin behind me, he carefully scrutinizes her while obviously holding his breath.

I mean, she’s a pretty dark elf after all.

“Bronkos, her name is Viine. She’s my servant.” (Shuuya)

“Bronkos-san, I’m pleased to make your acquaintance.” (Viine)

Viine bows.

It’s a polite greeting.

Her silver hair sways.

Bronkos’ smile lines twitch from Viine’s display.

He reveals an expression as if he’s bashful or hating it.

“…Stop it. As you can see, attaching -san to my name doesn’t suit me. Please be at ease and call me Bronkos.”

He appears to dislike formality.

Well, this is a bar.

Due to the nature of his job, I bet he wants to be free to not worry about hierarchical relationships.

“Understood, Bronkos. Please pour a drink for Master.” (Viine)

Viine acknowledges while showing a smile beneath her silver mask.

“Sure thing. You sit down as well. So, Shuuya-san, want the same thing as last time? The black cat over there wants to eat something anyway, aight?” (Bronkos)

It looks like he remembers what I ordered last time.

“Nya, nhnnnn.”

Rollo replies to Bronkos.

She purrs with a throaty voice as if saying “of course nya,” and jumps off my shoulder, landing on the counter.

There she sits like a sphynx doll.

But then she raises her upper body all of a sudden, skillfully standing up on her hind legs.

Clara stood up! No, not that. 1 She’s skillfully moving her hind legs while raising and lowering her both forepaws.

A pleading pose.

She cutely appeals to Bronkos to give her some snacks.

You ate breakfast, didn’t you?

But, how cute…

“Buhahahaha! Youu! How very lovely — alright, I will prepare somethin’ for ya. So, Vii-neechan, what about you?” (Bronkos)

The high-strung Bronkos abbreviated Viine to “Vii” and cheerfully called her like that.

“…For me, the same as Master, please.” (Viine)

Hearing the nickname, she furrows her brows.

But, despite doing so, she responds without fault while adjusting her expression.

And, she orders without touching on that subject either.

“Aye. Gotcha. I will prepare it right away, just a moment—” (Bronkos)

Bronkos says from across the counter and moves towards the shelves in the back.

He grabs two goblets off one of the shelves and fills them with alcohol.

He also serves some nuts in a bowl as a side dish.

“Hey! Take it easy with this.” (Bronkos)

He places the booze and snacks on the counter.

“Thanks, here’s the money.” (Shuuya)

I place the money on top of the counter.

“Aye, thanks for your patronage.” (Bronkos)

Well then, I guess I will take a sip.

Viine and I taste the mead.

Rollo thrusts her face into the bowl and eats the nuts with crunching sounds.

Once we start sampling our orders, Bronkos…

“…So, 【Blue Wind】 is your target today as well, right?”

…asks.

Bronkos throws a loving glance at Rollo, but I refrain from pointing it out.

“Yeah. Are they doing fine?” (Shuuya)

“Aye. As usual 【Blue Wind】 is one of the clans in great shape. Each time they return from the labyrinth, they have changed into better equipment. I remember that the clan members were delighted over an iron treasure chest appearing the other day.” (Bronkos)

Hee, old man Bronkos has a good memory.

“Are they here today?” (Shuuya)

“No, I haven’t seen them. But, they might return from the labyrinth soon.” (Bronkos)

“Ooh, then I will ask you to let us wait here full of anticipation.” (Shuuya)

“Got it. Just tell me if there’s anythin’ else you wanna order.” (Bronkos)

“Roger.” (Shuuya)

Bronkos ceases looking at Rollo and begins to prepare ingredients.

I survey the bar while holding the goblet in one hand.

Oh, they’re playing darts over there.

It’s gambling? I think it’s a throwing knife contest rather than darts.

“Master, are you going to wait here?” (Viine)

Viine asks from beside me while also holding her goblet.

“Yeah. I will ask about maps in a bit.” (Shuuya)

“Understood.” (Viine)

Viine has a somewhat dissatisfied expression?

It looks like she doesn’t agree with patiently waiting while drinking alcohol.

It would be a help if they arrived right away though.

I wait for several minutes while harboring such hope.

…Let’s ask about maps first.

“Bronkos, is there anyone here who can decipher magic treasure maps?” (Shuuya)

Bronkos stopped cutting the onion-like vegetable and gave me an answer,

“…Magic treasure maps, eh? In the past, there were several, but right now it’s impossible. Besides, this bar’s regular customers are parties and clans that head into the early floors of the labyrinth. If it’s the Bar of Heroes or the Ring Road Bar, I expect that you will find quite a few people, but well, I think it’s the easiest to go to the 【Magic Treasure Map Discovery Association】 next to the adventurer’s guild.” (Bronkos)

“Gotcha. Thanks.” (Shuuya)

“Aye. But, you have a magic treasure map, Shuuya? Be careful of your bag then, okay?” (Bronkos)

Bronkos warns me while giving a dirty grin, then continues concentrating on cutting the vegetables.

Just as he said, the gazes of the nearby adventurers, who heard our talk, gather on me.

“That guy holds a magic treasure map, huh?” they murmur for a short moment.

Is it likely for someone to aim for a magic treasure map?

I really have to pay attention to pickpockets when moving around.

But, the map is inside the item box, so I suppose it’ll be alright.

Once I feel relieved, I hear Viine’s voice.

“What are we going to do, Master? Are we still going to wait?” (Viine)

Viine sputters.

I think she wants to put a priority on the magic treasure map rather than waiting in the bar?

But for now, we will wait.

“We will postpone that, okay? It’s still not time to go to the 【Magic Treasure Map Discovery Association】. We will wait for just a bit longer for my acquaintance to show up.” (Shuuya)

“…Yes.” (Viine)

Viine replies downheartedly to my choice.

I ate some nuts and heartily downed my booze.

I look towards the entrance, waiting for a little while…

All of a sudden, I recognize a face among the adventurers who enter the bar.

Lucky. She’s here, she’s really here!

Her hair has grown kind of long. Her two braids hung down her back. I discover Rubia with that kind of hairstyle.

She sits down at a table together with her friends.

“Oh, that bunch is 【Blue Wind】.” (Bronkos)

Bronkos informs me from behind.

“I know. Viine, sorry, but the map search has to wait. Let’s go.” (Shuuya)

“Yes, Master.” (Viine)

Accompanied by Viine who had a stern expression, I approach the round table.

The members of the clan 【Blue Wind】.

The ratio of men and women seems to incline towards men quite a bit.

They surround the table as they chat with each other.

Among them, Rubia sits in the rightmost seat from me.

Blonde hair, long ears extending to the sides. It’s amazing to see Rubia’s eyes again.

She’s wearing a scarf atop her light armor, it leaves her chest and shoulders a little exposed.

A necklace tinged with mana is also hanging down from her neck.

She still hasn’t noticed my gaze.

The clan is in the middle of a gathering, so I went around her back.

From behind Rubia, I look at the area around her waist.

A sword belt connected with a chain is dangling at her thighs from the belt coiled around her waist.

Oh, it looks like she’s properly using what I gave her.

The longsword made out of the fangs of the Evil Dragon King Baldok.

It’s something I gave her as a present.

I say towards her back,

“Rubia?” (Shuuya)

Rubia turns around with a confused look on her face.

“Ye—Yes?” (Rubia)

And then, the moment she saw me,

“Ah! —Shu-Shuuya-samaaaaaaa!” (Rubia)

After her cheeks dyed crimson with a poof, she opens her mouth and hugs me.

Yay — the soft body of a girl.

What nice scent…oops, we drew everyone’s attention.

After grabbing Rubia’s small shoulders and separating us,

You like reading this story WITHOUT ads? Then go to infinitetranslations, the original TL!

“—Yo! Long time, no see. You okay?” (Shuuya)

“Ye-Yes!” (Rubia)

Rubia was shocked. That’s the kind of expression she’s showing.

Instead, the conversations around the table came to a complete stop.

“What? What’s going on?”

As if saying that, the eyes of all the adventurers of 【Blue Wind】 focus on us.

Ignoring those looks, I continued talking to Rubia.

“…That’s great. Are Zaga and Bon running their shop without problems?” (Shuuya)

“Yes! Zaga-san and Bon-kun are doing well, too. They are always talking about you, Shuuya-sama.” (Rubia)

Rubia told me about the dwarven siblings with a red face.

Zaga and Bon are alright…? That’s wonderful to hear.

“N, nya? Nya.”

Even Rollo, who’s sitting on my shoulder, reacts to the word ”Bon.”

She turns her small face towards me and Rubia.

It looks like Rollo wants to meet with Bon, too.

“…Where is their shop?” (Shuuya)

“Yes! Then let’s—” (Rubia)

Rubia tried to stand up, but as she did one of her party members suddenly gets up.

“—Wait.”

She pauses.

“What is it?” (Shuuya)

I ask the male adventurer.

“Back at you, what’s it with you!? In spite of appearing all of a sudden, you are too familiar…you have a woman waiting on you and yet you are picking up one of our members, arentcha’?”

It looks like I’m being threatened with the attitude of someone spoiling for a fight.

He’s an ikemen warrior-kun with green hair and blue eyes.

“—Master?” (Viine)

Viine says from behind me as if asking, “Shall I finish him off?”

The look in her eyes is dangerous.

She glares at the man with a freezing stare.

Seeing Viine, he turns his face slightly to the side.

『Your Excellency, if you are going to get rid of that pest, please use me.』 (Helme)

Helme appears in my sight with an enraged look.

『It’s okay, so just watch.』 (Shuuya)

…Good grief, Viine and Helme have too low a boiling point in regard to anything related to me.

Sensing the dangerous atmosphere, Rubia speaks up,

“…Ryan-san, this person is—” (Rubia)

Rubia tries to mediate, but…

“Rubia, is he your man?” (Ryan)

His name is Ryan, eh?

It looks like he’s bothered by Rubia’s relationship with me.

Is he drunk? Or does he like Rubia?

“A, n-no, not that deep…” (Rubia)

Rubia glances at me and averts her face in embarrassment as she murmurs.

Since it looks like things are getting bothersome, I guess I will explain while putting in a smile.

“I’m just Rubia’s acquaintance. There’s just a little something I wanted to ask.” (Shuuya)

“—Shut up, I didn’t fucking ask you! I’m going to kill ya!” (Ryan)

Ryan glares at me.

It looks like he wants to pick a fight with me no matter what.

Even though I went through great pain to stick with a smiling gentleman character.

I guess I will tell him with a bit louder voice.

“…Has 【Blue Wind】 or whatever you’re called given permission to to use you 2 even when talking amongst yourselves?” (Shuuya)

“—No, there’s no way for that to be true. I’m sorry for our Ryan raising his voice.”

Oh? A ferocious, rough voice with an apologetic tone.

A different man, who was sitting at the table, stood up and said that.

“Leader Kashim!” (Ryan)

“Listen up, you stay silent. Don’t start a fight just because you’re drunk.” (Kashim)

So their leader’s name is Kashim?

He has a masculine face fitting with his voice.

A goatee is growing on his chin.

“…Tsk.” (Ryan)

Being scolded by his leader, Ryan clicks his tongue.

He slumps down on his seat with an unhappy expression. He snags the goblet on the table and brings it to his mouth.

He drains the goblet in one breath.

While sighing at Ryan’s behavior, the leader addresses me,

“…My name is Kashim Balerock. I lead the 【Blue Wind】. I’m sorry for Ryan’s thoughtless attitude.” (Kashim)

The leader once more apologizes to me with a leader-like attitude.

Well, how very refreshing.

It’s completely different from that Ryan character.

I should apologize as well.

“No, not at all. I’m the one who should be apologizing. Excuse me for suddenly disturbing your clan meeting. I hope you can understand that I just wanted to meet Rubia.” (Shuuya)

“Yes. Me too. I also wanted to meet him very much…” (Rubia)

Rubia approves by adding her words on top of mine.

At once the surrounding members whistle with a *pheew pheew*.

Oi, oi, aren’t you guys misunderstanding something here?

Thereupon Kashim seems to read the mood and starts to talk,

“…So that was it? It’s no real problem. It’s not like we are holding a clan meeting either. We’re just having a drink after returning from the labyrinth. Please don’t worry. Rubia, enjoy yourself. However, don’t be late for the usual meeting time, got it?” (Kashim)

“Y-Yes!” (Rubia)

Rubia gave the leader a cheerful reply and walks over to my side.

And, Viine, who had watched the situation attentively from the side, stands in front of me to protect me.

“Viine, it’s alright.” (Shuuya)

“Yes. But it’s important to make the roles clear.” (Viine)

Viine? Roles?

She said something ambiguous with an indifferent voice.

“U-Umm, I will lead you to the shop,” (Rubia)

Rubia states, still deliberating after watching our exchange.

“Tsk.” (Ryan)

Ryan, who heard Rubia’s words as he’s sitting at the table, clicked his tongue once again and glares at me.

Spare me from any unnecessary dispute.

Let’s get out of here quickly.

“Rubia, please show the way.” (Shuuya)

“Yes. Let’s go. Ah, leader-san, thank you very much. Also, everyone, see you.” (Rubia)

Quickly bowing her head, Rubia heads to the bar’s exit.

“Aye.”

“See ya.”

“I will leave the healing to you again next time.”

“Don’t get stolen by your boyfriend, okay?”

There’s a single, weirdly teasing line mixed in, but I still bow my head.

Viine and I leave the table and head outside the bar together with Rubia.

“We have to walk for a bit, but it’s this way. Please follow me.” (Rubia)

“Got it. Please take care of us.” (Shuuya)

Together with Rubia, we advance south along the First Ring Road.

As we walk, Viine forces herself in-between Rubia and me.

“Nn.”

Rollo reacts to Viine’s behavior.

It was such odd conduct that she purrs something along the lines of “What’s wrong with Viine nya?”

This is definitely jealousy, isn’t it?

Or is it my misunderstanding?

Viine is glaring at Rubia, obviously regarding her as a rival.

If it’s jealousy, it does have some cute aspect as well though.

Rubia is withering away a little from her assault.

However, she didn’t act so openly towards Eva and Rebecca…

Is it because they fought together in the labyrinth?

I guess that makes sense. After all, she can’t act unnaturally in a place such as the labyrinth.

It makes even more sense if you consider that Viine’s standing back then was that of a slave.

She merely went through the motions as a combat slave.

Besides, it’s very likely that she hasn’t settled her feelings towards me either, it’s quite visible right now.

Just the other day Viine and I discussed ending her revenge tragedy…

Right now she’s not a slave, but my servant.

I tried to talk to her about <Suzerain’s Bloodkin>, but…

I glance at Viine who’s walking next to me…

It looks like she’s still all worked up.

She glares at Rubia.

I guess I will have a small talk with them and make introductions while I’m at it so that their relationship doesn’t sour.

If you see this message, you read this on a pirate site! Support the translator at infinite tl!

“Rubia, please wait a moment.” (Shuuya)

“Okay.” (Rubia)

Rubia stops and waits for us.

“Rubia, I still haven’t introduced you properly, let me correct that. The dark elf over here is my servant, her name is Viine.” (Shuuya)

“Okay. Viine-san from an unusual race. So you are Shuuya-sama’s honorable servant-sama. My name is Rubia. I’m someone Shuuya-sama saved.” (Rubia)

Rubia greeted Viine by bowing her head with a little bob.

“…Understood. As you were told by Master, I’m his servant, Viine. I’m pleased to make your acquaintance, I give my best regards.” (Viine)

Viine greets Rubia, who lowered her head honestly, by likewise bowing, letting her relax.

“Pheew, I wondered whether you’d hate me since I’m a half-elf.” (Rubia)

Rubia places both her hands on her chest and jokes.

“My preferences don’t matter. If you speak about races, I am a dark elf. If my previous behavior gave you a wrong impression, I shall apologize. But, as a woman I have no intentions of backing off.” (Viine)

Viine says with a terrifying look.

Since she’s taller than Rubia, it seems as if she’s preaching.

“…As a woman?” (Rubia)

Rubia stares at Viine with a blank expression.

“Indeed. I’m a servant, but at the same time I’m also a woman who yearns for Master, who’s a strong male.” (Viine)

Wha— a sudden confession?

She bathed with me twice, but she never said anything.

Well, incredible, I’m really happy though.

Viine, you should also consider the place though.

Rubia is surprised, obviously taken aback.

“If you speak of Master…you mean Shuuya-sama?” (Rubia)

“Of course.” (Viine)

Rubia glances at me and once our eyes met, she casts them down while looking embarrassed.

And then I can hear her quiet voice that seems to tremble.

“…That’s unfair. Since the time he rescued me…all along, even when we were separated, I always, always thought about him — even I love Shuuya-sama dearly!” (Rubia)

Rubia suddenly lifts her face and confesses energetically.

Her cheeks are dyed red.

She gazes at me with a look full of passion.

Whoa, what kind of day is this?

Confession day?

“As expected… I felt it from the very start. I won’t let you have Master.” (Viine)

“Even if you are his servant, Viine-san, these feelings won’t lose to you. At long last, I got to meet Shuuya-sama again, so I don’t want to be separated from Shuuya-sama anymore!” (Rubia)

Dangerous, it’s getting really dangerous.

I acted in the hope to avoid them fighting, but I just made things woooorse.

Umm…what’s the best thing to do in such a situation?

My mother god, Water Goddess Akreshys-sama, tell me!

…

It’s only natural, but there’s no reply.

『Your Excellency, the cheeky women are quarreling. Shall I give them a severe butt education right now?』 (Helme)

Instead, the heavenly voice of Helme-sama reverberates in my mind.

『…Helme, butt education is no good.』 (Shuuya)

『I see…』 (Helme)

Helme says, disappointed.

For the time being, I will stop celebrating.

I focus on using a low, serious voice as if I’m annoyed.

“…I’m very happy about being loved by both of you. I plan to answer those feelings in due time. But right now we are in the middle of the street. Don’t trouble me with unnecessary matters.” (Shuuya)

“Y-Yes!”

“—Yes!”

Both seemed to be startled by my sudden, low-pitched interjection that gave the impression of me having lost my temper. They audibly straightened up their backs and gave me an answer while showing their fear.

In short, don’t start any fights here. That’s what I wanted to say.

Chastised, Rubia and Viine talk to each other, revealing cold smiles as they give deep nods.

It’s a mood that can be called a relationship between dogs and cats or a cold war, but I feel relieved for the moment.

It’s an incredibly high-handed method, but well, I guess it’s okay.

For the moment I dodged the impending carnage.

『What splendid scolding, Your Excellency. It mesmerized me.』 (Helme)

『A-Aye.』 (Shuuya)

…From here on the silence and the awkward smiles only increase.

It’s completely my fault, but by avoiding that subject, we move towards the south according to Rubia’s guidance.

Passing through several small alleys, we walk along the edge of the martial arts district and then,

“It’s over there—” (Rubia)

I suppose that’s the house where Rubia and the dwarven siblings live.

“Hee…”

The place is in Pelneet’s southwest, close to the martial arts district and a short distance from both, the Colosseum and the free market, along the Second Ring Road.

Its exterior is that of a splendid house with a two-story workshop.

It was built so that it faces the main street.

It’s slightly bigger or has the same scale as the other shops lining the street.

Zaga got his hands on a really fine property.

“Nya? Nnn, nya—”

Rollo ran ahead.

She vanishes into the workshop on the left of the first floor.

“Ah, Rollo-chan. She went in first. This is our place. Please come in.” (Rubia)

“Got it.” (Shuuya)

I peek inside the huge garage workshop that looks as if it could house several cars.

It’s a wonderful workshop that unifies a smithy and a studio.

Inside I could see Zaga working on drawing something on top of a big oak table set up in the center of the workshop.

Bon was present as well, but he’s playing around with Rollo, both of them frantically dancing around while repeating their usual Enchant talk.

Although you might call it a dance, Rollo is just jumping.

Only over there you will find a true M?rchen fantasy world.

A secret door of Bon and Rollodeen.

The unknown history of Bon.

The demonic hands approaching Bon, who’s trying to learn of his own past, and his fight against them together with his familiar Rollodeen.

I suddenly came up with a plot for a story.

While thinking something like that, I step up to greet Zaga.

Viine and Rubia laugh as they watch Rollo’s messy dancing figure.
