　The oil paintings said to have been made by the dwarf genius Proton, the statue of the goddess who is said to have been petrified by the devil, and the vases placed all over the building were made by a famous potter.

　The white porcelain vase that Jeanne is now holding close to her face is so large that a house could be bought with just one of them.

　So I grab Jeanne by the sides and lift her up and let her go. It would be terrible if they were broken.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jeanne was not interested in the vase from the beginning, so she let go of it without hesitation.

"I don't get bloated looking at works of art," she said.

"My breasts are big enough."

　She boasts, bending her chest. I don't think her breasts are big enough to brag about, but I don't think I need to point that out. I pull her hand and walk away.

　I ask Ryoma a question.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's a magnificent guest house, isn't it? The economic power of the maritime city of Bernese is unbelievable.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"There are no royalty or aristocrats in this city. We have no wasteful spending, so we have money to spare.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So you used the extra money to build the necessary guest house.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A guest house is a necessary building for business.

"Necessary?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jeanne asked curiously.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's essential. It's essential. We can't have merchants from far away knowing that the Bernese have money, it makes it easier to do business.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, that's right.

　In the world where I used to live, there were people who showed off their wealth by displaying gold pocket watches. Even in Japan, there are people who care more about the price tag of a watch than its dial.

　Everyone is trying to make their money look good.

"Men are stupid. They are always trying to look good.

"I don't deny it, but I think women are the same way. It's just that the saints are special."

　With these words, we enter the guest house and enter the party hall.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are two men in butler's suits in front of the party hall, and they open the door as we come in.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The doors opened and the place looked like another world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The interior was magnificent. The people there were beautifully dressed and emitted an aura unique to nobles.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The air was almost feverish.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wow, this is amazing! I feel so different from when I participated as a merchant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　These are Ryoma's words, and I think he is right. All the young men in the hall were glued to her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They were gossiping with each other, wondering if there had ever been such a beautiful girl in this maritime city.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Women are transformed when they put on makeup and dresses. Ryoma was always an attractive woman, but in her dress, she looked like a young lady of some sort.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Everyone is asking her to dance, but she seems to be confused. He runs to my side.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I let out a giggle and say.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ryoma-dono, who fires his gun on the battlefield, is a weak woman here, isn't he?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, of course. I have never danced with a man before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Then may I have the honor of my first dance, Asito?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He kneels down and holds out his hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ryoma's face turns red in confusion, but it is easy to make her decide.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If you don't do this, you will end up dancing with a man you don't know. Even Ryoma would rather step on my familiar feet than on the feet of a man he doesn't know.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is making fun of the fact that he was stepped on many times during the practice, but Ryoma's face turns even redder.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Asito-dono is mean. You are mean. If you bring it up, I will have no choice but to dance with you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's what I made him do. It is the true spirit of the two sides of the same coin.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I smiled at him, and he laughed at last.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had the honor of being the first to receive the title of half-elf beauty, and as soon as Ryoma and I started dancing, all eyes were suddenly on us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I felt like I was not only the center of attention, but also the target of murderous intent, but I didn't care.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I dance with Ryoma without saying a word, and the dance between the two beginners looks surprisingly good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm good on the stage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ryoma says with a smile on his face. I praise him for that and look at Jeanne.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She seems to have been asked to dance by a number of young men, but she ignores them all and continues to munch on the food on the table.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was surreal to see the beautifully dressed saint eating her food with a single-minded devotion. It was enough to discourage the young men who had been in love with her earlier, but they still couldn't give up on her, so they became her waiters and brought her food and drinks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Tearful effort," is how Ryoma describes her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that in any world, it is common for males to be unattractive to females if they do not make an effort.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, I guess we don't need to worry about Jeanne. At the rate she's going, I doubt she'll be taken home."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's like the demon king is the saint's protector."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Or close to it. Or maybe she's the owner. Jeanne is like a golden retriever.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Indeed, she treats him like a dog.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ryoma says, "If you throw the meat on the bone there, won't he bite it and bring it back to you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course, I don't try it, because I can imagine that he will surely bring it to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I told him this as a joke, he laughed like a flower.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Such a laugh from a beautiful Elf woman makes me admire her, but as I stare at her for a moment, I notice something that is dragging my formal attire down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What is it?　I look down at my feet, and there is a strange creature. It was not strange, but rather mysterious or fancy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What the hell is this?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ryoma rolls his eyes, but I answer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's a carbuncle. But it's unusual to find it in a place like this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It must be someone's pet."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's not a creature that can be tamed like that. At the very least, I doubt they are the pets of the merchants here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

How can you be so sure?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's a carbuncle I know. Well, we've only met once.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is probably Robin Hood's carbuncle. I know him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"A pet of Robin's. He's a good-looking fellow, by the way."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ryoma tries to reach out his hand, but Carbuncle quickly turns around and avoids him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Animals don't like me!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ryoma looks shocked, but Carbuncle just tugs at my clothes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He seems to be desperately trying to make a point.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I twist my head to see what it is, but I feel a shiver around the nape of my neck.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's a sixth sense, I guess.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I turn my attention to the direction where the carbuncle's nose is pointing. There was a large windowpane. Behind it, a few dozen meters away, I see a presence stirring.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The moment I confirm the presence, the bow is released as if cutting through the dark night, and an arrow breaks through the windowpane and comes toward me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The speed of the arrow was so fast that a normal person would have been struck through the heart before he had time to check, but I was no normal person.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was born a demon king, and my dynamic vision was like that of a demon king.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I grabbed the arrow that was about to shoot through my heart in mid-air. The people around me seem to have finally noticed the assassin's presence.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The guards gather around the organizer, Marco Polo, protecting him and waiting for instructions.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Marco points to a broken window and says, "The assassin is in the building across the street.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The assassin is in the building across the street. We must capture him at all costs."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The guards start to run at once, but I decide to head in the opposite direction. I decide to go in the opposite direction from them, because the green creature has started to hang in the opposite direction.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Carbuncle runs to lead me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I tell Ryoma to protect Marco and follow Carbuncle's back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ryoma pulls out the pistol strapped to his thigh and dashingly protects Marco.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　From the flower of the ball. She seems to have changed her class from the flower of the ball to the rose with thorns. I reaffirm her reliability and switch my attention to the assassin.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I knew who the assassin was. If he is who I think he is, he will escape and go to Dagon, the Demon Lord. Then we may never see each other again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was too good to let go of the archer who had the skill to shoot me right through the heart from that distance.
