Charlotte and Ricardo smiled at each other.
　There was no sense of urgency at all. Ricardo's smile is gentle, and he does not show any hostility.
　It was a scene of acquaintances meeting and greeting each other in a moment's notice. That's exactly what I saw.

(What the heck is this ............ all about?

　It was no longer a matter of firing off an attack spell.
　Allen's eyes blinked, but he ...... chose his words carefully.

"Oh, hey, Charlotte.
Yes?
Is this man a ...... friend of yours?
"Huh. ...... acquaintance, huh?

　Ricardo smiled thinly and looked at Allen with a stern look.
　It was a very bitter color that came to mind.

I'm sure I've met you before, too.
"Oh, you know Mr. Allen too?
"Oh, ......?　No, no, I have no idea. ......

　Allen frantically searched his memory.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　While Allen was groaning, Charlotte opened her mouth with a smile.

I met Mr. Ricardo when I came to the city alone. I met Mr. Ricardo when I came to town alone.
"Mm. ......?　Oh, yeah. That time?

　Just a little while ago now. With Allen's first paycheck, Charlotte had gone out to buy gifts for the people in her life.
　On that occasion, Allen had secretly followed her and supported her while she went out. It was a lion's share of his efforts.
　He went ahead of Charlotte when she got lost, and worked to improve the environment by slashing and throwing the ruffians that had taken up residence in the area, and then slashing and throwing them again.

I'm not sure why there were so many people who collapsed all over the place that day. ...... So I went around distributing the magic potion that Allen gave me. I'm sure you'll be able to understand why.
............ I see.
"I'm glad you remembered.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at our own web site.

I really can't thank you enough, young lady. That time I was suddenly attacked by a vicious thug, and I was very weak.
"I didn't know that ...... there were such scary people in this town.
Hahaha .......

　In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the web site. What would she think if she found out that the thug was Allen?

(No, but ...... apparently he's not really hostile, is he?

　Ricardo is a natural. He's not lying, and his gratitude for Charlotte is genuine.
　But then there's the big mystery.
　When Allen was staring at ......, Ricardo's eyes narrowed and he smiled.

I'll talk to you later. When you're done eating, ...... could you give us a few minutes of your time?
I don't care about .......

　Allen responded with a hawkish smile.


　

　All the food at the restaurant was delicious and they took their time to enjoy it.
　Charlotte, in particular, was delighted with the taste of her old hometown and was glad that she had brought her along.
　Their first date ended ostensibly without a hitch.

　Afterwards, Allen went to a bar near the restaurant. Ricardo was already waiting for him at the counter.
　Allen took his place next to him, and when the drinks he had ordered were served, he slowly opened his mouth.

I've been hiding out in this city for quite some time now. I've been hiding in this city for quite some time now. I don't need to tell you ...... what I'm here for.
"...... Charlotte, right?
That's right.

　He nodded gravely and took out a wanted document from his pocket. Of course it's for Charlotte.
　Then Ricardo told me his original plan.
　When he learned that Charlotte had disappeared near the city, he searched steadily and found a girl who looked like her .......
　The plan went awry that day. The day Charlotte went off on her own and Allen continued his rapid progress.

It was on that day that you were knocked down by your brother,......, and that young lady reached out to me, and I realized.

　Ricardo lifted the edge of his mouth sarcastically and tilted his glass just a little bit.

You're no match for him, and you're no ...... head to be had.
No, no, no, wait, wait.

　You'll be able to find a lot more information on the web.

I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I've seen it before.　I'm not sure what to say.
I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.

I gathered my men and told them to give up on this target. But my men were not satisfied. Against my orders, they began to investigate Miss Charlotte on their own. ......

　The narrative is very grave.


　After a few moments of silence, Ricardo's head spilled out.

And then, before you know it, they ...... have formed their own group to watch over Miss Charlotte. Instead of following her, they started watching over her from the shadows.
"Oh, because it's ......?

　Allen was disgusted and turned around quietly.
　There were many subhumans gathered in the large bar.
　They are all black, with bumps and bruises all over the place. And yet, all of them had a bright smile on their faces. They're surrounded by Charlotte...

"Nice to meet you!　It's a pleasure to meet you!
It's a pleasure to meet you!" "Our leader took care of you the other day!
Oh, would you like some juice?　We have snacks.
Yes, thank you. Thank you very much.

　She bows her head reverently, offers juice, and takes good care of him.
　It's not the face of a group of thugs who are after a poor girl. ...... Of course, they are all members of the group that Allen, Lu and Goussetsu beat up.

What's that?　They attacked me today because .......
I'm sure it's just a jealousy attack because your brother took Miss Charlotte.
"Why do all the weirdos like my mom? ......?
You can only say that you were born under such a star.

　I'm not sure what to make of it.
　It's a good idea to take a look at the website and see if you can find anything that might help you. He has completely put aside the fact that he was out of control the other day. As expected, he has a thick skin.
　Ricardo then turned to Allen again and bowed deeply.

I'm really sorry. I knew you two were going to enjoy your first date today, but I couldn't ...... handle it, so I had to sit back and watch. Thanks for the help.
"No, yeah, ...... I don't really care about anything anymore .......

　Allen's shoulders slumped. I'm tired of all this.
　He thought that the bad guys who were after Charlotte were coming in droves, but the ...... actual murderous intent was all directed at Allen. It's too much to take in.

(But I guess it's okay if ...... Charlotte is safe.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

So, what's the deal with that ...... wizard?
"Oh, you're Allen?
Yes. Has he done anything strange to you?
It's not uncommon for them to be a bit of a jerk. ......
"Mm-hmm. ......?

　Charlotte nodded her head.
　In the event that you're looking for the best way to get the most out of your business, you'll want to take a look at the following.

I'm not sure about ......, but ...... Allen is a good person.
"...... Is that so?

　You can find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing. Some of them were quietly crying tears of regret.
　Seeing this, Ricardo shrugged his shoulders.

She seems to have a very unique talent. I'm not sure if I'm a connoisseur or not, but ...... I'd say be careful with her.
I'm sure you're well aware of that. ......

　Allen also tipped his glass and lowered his eyes.
　The Fenrir family, the Goussetsu debacle, and now this. And now this.
　Even if Charlotte is a good-natured girl, there's a limit to how much she can be adored by the unspecified.

(I wonder if it's in her blood. ......)

　(I wonder if that's the kind of bloodline she has... ) This should be clarified in the future.
　Allen gulped down the remaining sake and smiled.

At any rate, I'm relieved for the moment. I'm sure there are no more fools in this town who would target Charlotte.
"............ Mm.
"Hey, what's with the slurred responses?

　You can find a lot of people who are looking for the best way to get the most out of their life.
　He looked away and began to slurp down his drink like a desperate man.

In fact,......, I could have stopped my crew by myself. But the ...... number of them was so large that there was nothing I could do about it.
"There are too many ......?

　When Allen heard that, he suddenly noticed something strange.
　Before he knew it, it was getting strangely noisy outside the store.
　He didn't like it, but he dragged his heavy feet towards it and gently opened the door to the outside.

　There was an army that filled the entire street.
　All of them are armed and bleary-eyed with murderous intent. They are the adventurers of this city,......, who, like Ricardo, have been beaten by Allen and helped by Charlotte. Some of the faces are familiar.
　Some of the faces are familiar: Wogel from the Puppet Family, Ralph from Wolves Stan, Dominic from Footprints in the Twilight ......, and so on.

　As soon as they see Allen, they all raise their eyebrows and start screaming.

"The Great Demon King!　You've finally taken our idol,......!


Let me at least take one hit before I congratulate you!
Hey!　If you make that girl cry, I'll really hurt you!

　"If you make her cry, I'll really hurt you!
　Just as I was getting discouraged, Ricardo, who came up behind me, added a few words.

"That's right. The Watchtower isn't just my crew, it's all over the city.
I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm no longer the king's vessel of this centripetal ...... force.

　Allen can only hold his head. It's not going to be hard for him to take over.
　Just then, Charlotte pops up from behind him.

"Wow. What are you all doing together?　
"Oh, yeah. They're all here for me. You'll have to wait inside with Lu and the others.
Did you get ......?
Mom. Leave those idiots alone and pat me down. Lu, you've worked hard today.

　Lu tugged on Charlotte's confused sleeve and led her into the store. 　
　Allen smiled at her and slammed the door behind him, creating a soundproof barrier. The one he used to protect Charlotte in the magic shop. This time, the whole store. This way, any commotion outside won't reach the inside.

"Hmm, so that's it. So, ...... is fine.

　Allen smiled thinly and flipped his cloak.
　Then he said in a loud, booming voice.

If you have any questions about Charlotte's relationship with me, please come forward!　I'll take on every last one of you!　Prepare yourselves!
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

　And so began a battle in which there was absolutely nothing to be gained.
