Episode 230
“…Whew.”
After quite some time had passed, Frey with wide eyes opened the bathroom door and came out.
“”……””
The people around him glance at Frey. Although they were pretending not to do so, they had been keeping a close eye on Frey’s actions.
Nobles were always people who admired and envied those in high places, so watching someone who fell from the highest place was a more enjoyable sight than anything else.
-Turp, trudge…
Perhaps noticing the gazes of the nobles, Frey lowered his gaze and trudged on.
“Ugh…”
Then, Frey suddenly covers his mouth with his hand.
As if the shock from earlier had not yet completely subsided, he covered his mouth with a pale expression and was panting.
“…Foot.”
“Puhup.”
The nobles and maids looked at such a sight as if it was ugly.
Since the rumor that Frey had attacked Ruby had already spread throughout the world, his actions seemed just funny to them.
– Let’s go… Let’s go…
“…ah.”
Just like that, Frey trembled alone amidst the eyes and ridicule that pressured her knowingly or unknowingly.
“excuse me…”
As a maid passed by with a cart displaying liquor, I called her over.
“What’s going on?”
“I’d like to have a drink…”
Eventually, when Frey stretched out his hand and said that to her, the maid opened her mouth with a cold expression.
“I’m sorry. We have orders not to serve alcohol to Master Frey.”
“…okay?”
“Okay, so if you’ll excuse me, please move out of the way.”
At those words, Frey, who was covering his mouth, begins to cry.
“Hey, then even if it’s a low alcohol content…”
Soon, Frey, who was looking anxious for some reason, began to speak as he followed her as she hurriedly left with the cart.
“Sorry, I’m a little busy right now.”
“No, it’s not that, it’s a drink…”
“S-sorry. I don’t want to be filmed.”
She said that in a trembling voice and led the cart forward.
As she said, quite a few nobles were watching the scene. Therefore, as a maid, it was something that could not be helped.
“…….”
But Frey’s heart was particularly sad.
This was because the maid’s eyes looked cold when she glanced at him while leading the cart, and also because he realized that the maid had once worked at his mansion.
“…after.”
After standing there for a while with a gloomy expression on his face, he soon headed towards the nearby drainage basin with his shoulders slumped.
“hey.”
“…..?”
And, a girl who had been watching Frey’s pitiful appearance and unfair treatment until then.
“Please give me a drink.”
He stopped the maid who was pulling the cart and said that in a confident voice.
“…I think the little lady is still too young to drink alcohol.”
The person blocking the cart was none other than Glare.
“Oh, no! I like alcohol!”
“…….”
“I’ve tried drinking it on the street a few times… I’ve also tried secretly stealing it from my teacher… Ah, anyway, I drink it well!”
She crossed her arms and spoke confidently. Although she thought she looked quite brave, others saw her as very cute.
“It’s in trouble if you do this…”
However, that was only from the perspective of those watching, and it was bound to be difficult for the maid who had to take responsibility.
“Um… How about bringing a guardian?”
That’s why the maid slightly shook her head.
This child, who appears to be an immature aristocratic daughter who has just debuted, decided to set up as a shield a protector that she would be afraid of.
“Master… he must be checking on the hero right now…”
“yes?”
However, there was something she didn’t expect.
“Ah, my teacher is a magic tower lord.”
Glare’s protector was none other than the magic tower lord.
“Oh, uh…”
She whispered in such a low voice that the people around her could not hear her, but the maid looked embarrassed and began to stutter.
To her, who is not even a maid but a maid, the magic tower is given to her. Also, the wall was too high for the magic tower owner, who was known to be more eccentric than the Freys she once served.
“Well, then… what are you taking with you?”
That’s why, while chewing her lips, she soon asks in a trembling voice.
“Hmm…”
Then, she put her hand on her chin and looked intently into the ice basket.
“Give me this and this! This and this!”

“yes.”
“Ugh, give me a drink too!”
“……”
Then, she ended up choosing one of the flashiest looking bottles and drinks.
“…Are these really true?”
The maid looks at her with suspicion.
“Yes, yes! I’m sure. They’re my favorite things!”
“okay…”
“…thank you!”
But there was nothing she could do, so she took out some of the strongest alcohol on the cart and handed it to her.
“Thank you~!”
“…The total is 30,000 gold.”
“omg.”
However, when she heard the price, she was so startled that she almost lost the bottles of alcohol she was holding in her arms.
“Ugh…”
However, she used her superhuman agility to grab the bottle just before it slipped out of her arms.
“Four, thirty thousand… gold…”
Soon, he breaks out in a cold sweat and mutters.
“That’s… one meal… ugh…”
Even though he steadily raised the money he received from Frey with the help of his teacher, his money increased to the level of most merchants’ funds.
Because she had vivid memories of struggling in the back alleys, she rarely spent more than 1,000 gold.
“…W-here.”
However, she glanced at Frey, who was quenching his thirst with plain water at a drainage basin in the distance, becoming a spectacle for the people, and quickly handed over the money with a trembling hand.
“Hey~!”
Just like that, as soon as the calculation was finished, Glare rushed out with a drink in his arms.
“I have an announcement for you all.”
“huh?”
When Glare reaches Frey and everyone’s attention is focused on her, someone comes in alone and begins to announce the message.
“It is said that the hero party public ceremony will begin soon. Please go and prepare in advance.”
After saying that, Isolette stared at the surroundings for a while and watched with her own eyes as the people around her slowly slipped away under the pressure of her momentum.
“there.”
“yes yes?”
“With the strongest drink.”
“yes…”
Then, she caught the maid who was trying to sneak out of the hall and ordered the strongest drink.
“…Where is Frey?”
I started looking around.
“Uh, over there… um…”
Glare, who instinctively sensed danger from her, noticed her approaching in front of him and took a step forward towards Frey, who was looking down blankly.
“Would you like to have a drink with me?”
He asked that in a very nervous voice.
.
“……”
After Frey headed to the waiting room with Glare, quite a long time passed.
“Everyone, give a big round of applause!”
“…under.”
Isolette, who had been looking for Frey for a while, was watching the hero party being introduced by the hologram projection magic tool that was floating in the currently empty main hall.
“There are four warriors in the party… That’s really worth seeing.”
Since she had not yet received the position of commander of the warrior party, she smiled as she watched the introduction from the audience.
There were a total of four people on stage: the warrior Ruby, the pure white saint Perloche, information officer Roswin, and her new disciple, the youngest paladin.
Originally, more than twice that number should have gathered, but for some reason, those who received the summons did not respond to the invitation.
There were a variety of reasons, such as people refusing outright, saying they couldn’t participate today due to personal reasons, or not being able to contact them at all.
“hmm…”
Even in such a situation, Isolette thought quietly as she looked at the foolish nobles who were blinded by the hope in front of them and were only applauding passionately.
‘Hero, something is suspicious.’
I tried to investigate the matter earlier, but for some reason a silence order came down from above.
She knew very well that if the words were ‘from above’, and if it was a ‘higher level’ that could stop her, the three imperial dukes, the imperial family, or even the church would have to intervene directly.
‘As expected, it’s suspicious…’
So why did they block their investigation? Could it be that he was hiding something?
As expected, something unknown to him must have intervened. Otherwise, there was no way to explain this ominous energy.
– Excited!
Thinking of that, her heart suddenly became hot as if on fire.
“You’re doing it again.”
These days, whenever I think about Frey, especially when I think about ‘having to protect’ Frey, my heart keeps getting hot like this.
And when that happens, it is always accompanied by the feeling that something is trying to force a way through something that is blocked.
“…Ugh.”
As she caresses her heart, she immediately thinks of Frey, who was squatting on the floor with bulging cheeks and bulging eyes.
“Vener… that bastard…”
Just a few days ago, he recalled Frey calling him a slob with a mischievous smile and cheekily seducing and provoking him by telling lewd jokes.
And, when he was subdued by her, he recalled Frey looking frightened and even hiccuping, as if he had never expected such a thing to happen.
“Even if you scold me… I’m going to scold you…”
Then, he was hit squarely in the stomach by Venere, causing him to bend his back and drool all over her hand.
In that situation, he grabbed Bener’s arm, slapped him, and even strangled him and made him struggle.
In the end, he was sitting on the floor with his hair matted and being scolded by people.
This guy, who gets scared and blushes even if you scare him just a little bit, got into such a bad situation.
“……..”
The arrogant, devil-like attitude he had shown towards himself had disappeared everywhere.
It was so heartbreaking that when he came into the room, instead of showing his usual cocky attitude, he lowered his head with a downcast expression as if he had become someone else.
It was quite an adversity to watch a child who was arrogant toward oneself become like that.
“…Anyway, I need to investigate the hero.”
Therefore, Isolette, who had remained silent, soon clenched her fists and muttered this.
This was because there were too many questions in this case.
Apparently, the girl who had called everyone earlier said that a hero was attacking Frey.
They couldn’t talk about it in detail because they weren’t in a good mood, but they said they were putting him down.
But why did the warrior say that he attacked him? Why were her clothes so loose and tattered?
Are you saying that the so-called hero got into a fight because he couldn’t suppress even a Frey that he could easily suppress in just a few seconds?
And, there were traces of being restrained on every corner of Frey’s body.
Crucially, there was testimony that Frey was nauseating with tears in his eyes.
‘It seems very unlikely, but… maybe…’
As Isolette was organizing the information, a possibility suddenly appeared in her mind and she clenched her hands.
Of course, it was an assumption so absurd that even he couldn’t believe it. Maybe the truth lies somewhere else.
No matter how you look at it, Frey looks a bit strange these days. And then Ruby suddenly appeared in the world.
About these two truths.
-Turp, trudge…
For some reason, Isolette felt her heart boiling and her head getting hot, and she chewed her lips for a while until they bled.
“Whoa…”
Soon, to cool my head, I grabbed the strong alcohol I had purchased earlier and headed to the empty waiting room.
“This is the strongest drink… It’s not even for girls…”
So, when she entered the waiting room and saw the low-alcohol alcohol, she grumbled and tried to sit down.
“W-Who are you…?”
“……?”
When I heard a familiar voice, I started to make a dazed expression.
“Ah, you’re my sister…”
“Uh, um.”
In front of her, Glare was sweating coldly, sucking on the straw in his drink.
“Sweet sister…♡”
“…….”
“Let’s make it together…”
Frey, who had been drinking strong liquor, came in, tearing up some strange scroll and placing it in front of him.
“…What do you mean?”
Frey, who was smiling brightly at himself, shrinks with a frightened expression when she takes a step forward.
“ah…”
Then, he quietly raised his head with the same blank look in his eyes that he had when he was being criticized by everyone.
“Alibi…?”
He looked at her eyes and whispered in a timid voice.
“……”
I didn’t know exactly what that meant, but Isolette’s eyes were suddenly shaking as she watched Frey.
.
Meanwhile, at that time.
“…………”
Ruby, who was waving to people in the center of the stage, was quietly sweating.
“Mo, nice to meet you all~”
Among the people gathered to welcome the warrior party, very familiar faces were seen.
“…Hehe.”
These are the combat executives of the Demon King’s army, including the second-in-command, Demirkan.
