Don't drink too much, Mr. Druid."

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

I intend to, but I have a couple of priors.

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

I'll be careful."

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

Already. Please be careful not to drink too much, Lord Foronda."

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

I understand. I'll be fine."

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

Ivy's brow furrows a little as Lord Foronda answers with a smile.

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

Ivy is really not afraid.

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

"I don't drink too much and I don't get ugly too often.

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

Lord Foronda seems pleased with Ivy's attitude.

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

Not much means you've been there before. No."

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

Hahaha, okay. I'll try not to drink too much."

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

Ivy leaves the room, looking worried.

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

'Well, I've stocked up on the best liquor in the village. You can still drink it, right?"

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

Yes."

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

Anyway, how did a nobleman and I end up sharing a drink?

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

Is there something to talk about?

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

Ivy is lovely. I only have sons, so it's refreshing to see a girl's reaction."

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

Come to think of it, Lord Foronda had a son.

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

Was it two?

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

Huh?

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

As I recall, wasn't there a rumor that the princess was pressuring him to marry her?

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

Hmm?　What's wrong?"

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

No. It smells good."

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

Enjoy the aroma of the sake poured into the cup.

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

This sake is definitely expensive.

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

Since we're here, let's take our time and enjoy it.

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

I wanted to talk to you for a while.

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

I knew it.

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

Yes. Can I help you?

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

No need to be so formal. Do you know about the village where Ivy was born?"

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

Yes, that the chief and the villagers fell into slavery.

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

I see." Where's Ivy?"

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

Lord Foronda stirs his glass of wine in one gulp.

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

His expression is almost expressionless.

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

I know."

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

Was she all right?"

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

He was a little shocked, but probably okay. ......

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

No, are you sure you're okay?

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

Ivy was stunned when she heard that rumor.

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

And she was acting strange all that day.

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

The next day she was back to her normal Ivy self, so I figured she was fine.

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

Really?

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

I'm sorry. I don't know."

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

I see."

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

I stir the sake in my glass.

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

My throat burns.

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

The village chief and her parents, who tormented her, will never be freed from their slavery alive. The village headman was so battered that he could have died if it had been a little later.

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

Rags and tatters?

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

The villagers did this to you?

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

Well, he got what he deserved.

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

I see."

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

But still, how do you know all these details?

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

Did you look it up?

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

As I tilt my head, I glance at him, and Lord Foronda laughs aloud.

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

'There's a group of concerned, self-appointed brothers in the town of Ottoruwa,' he said. You know who they are, don't you?"

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

Ah~ yes."

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

Mr. Lattrua and Mr. Sifal and the others?

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

They were looking into it."

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

I see.

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

The "fuks" coming from them was from my brother's and father's point of view.

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

The Lords of Foronda, who reach me from time to time, are one of them.

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

Ivy's brother fell into slavery for an extended period of time. Her sister is ......"

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

What's that?

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

What's up with the sister?

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

He said, "I'm eight years out of slavery with a reduced sentence in recognition of the crimes I've revealed. It could be shorter, depending on my attitude."

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

As I recall, I heard that villagers who opposed the mayor were killed in that village.

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

If the sentence is reduced to 8 years, does that mean he was not involved in the killing?

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

Is that so?

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

She is now in the custody of Captain Ogut of the village of Latome.

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

What?　Captain Ogut?"

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

He's Ivy's guarantor.

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

Why would he?

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

She gave evidence of the village's crimes to Captain Ogut. She took it on because she had a connection with him through that relationship."

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

Ivy's sister as evidence of a crime?

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

I see," he said. Are you with him?"

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

I work for the Neighborhood Watch. I wanted to talk to you about whether or not to tell Ivy about this. Captain Oguto said he didn't know how Ivy was doing right now, so he would leave it up to us."

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

Are you in contact with Captain Ogut?"

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

'No, I went to see him. I wanted to see Ivy's sister, the one who is Ivy's sister. She was a long way off, but she didn't look much like her. Captain Ogto said there was a resemblance.

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

To see him?

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

What a man of action!

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

But why do you care so much about Ivy?

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

Hmm?"　You wonder?　That I move."

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

Yeah, a little.

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

She saved my life. If she hadn't found out about Fartoria's evil scheme, I would have been killed. I would have been killed if she hadn't found out about Fartoria's evil. I later learned that my sons were also targeted. So she is the benefactor of our family."

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

I didn't know that. I did not know that."

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

That's why you work so hard for Ivy.

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

'I have told my boys about Ivy. I'd like you to meet her sometime."

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

It's Ivy, I'm sure the people around the Lords of Foronda will like her.

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

So, back to the subject, what do you think?　Should we talk?"

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

Yes," he said. What does your sister have to say about this?"

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

If he brought the crime to light, he must be a decent person.

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

If Ivy wants to see him, we should consider going to see him right away.

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

But if there is even the slightest chance of hurting Ivy, I honestly don't want her to see him.

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

When she started working for Captain Ogut, I heard she wanted to ask him something. "I heard that when she started working for Captain Ogut, she wanted to ask him something, but he didn't ask her, and she's just doing her job.

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

Don't you dare ask?

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

Or do you just want to forget about Ivy?

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

I heard that once a month they put flowers in the place where Ivy is supposed to have died.

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

I see. ...... hmm?　To be dead?"

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

Huh?"　Didn't you know?　Captain Ogto made sure Ivy was pronounced dead in case there were pursuers."

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

"............ huh."

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

I didn't know that was going to happen.

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

You're surprised. I was stunned when I first heard about it too."

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

I don't think it's funny.

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

"According to Captain Oguto, 'it's a life-saving procedure.'

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

I guess it's a good way to make Ivy's trip a little safer.

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

But I'm surprised the head of the vigilante group didn't object.

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

'Going back to my sister, she says we can assume she's remorseful. But she's not going to talk to her unless she has Ivy's permission. Well, that's as it should be."

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

I see."

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

Speaking of which, Lord Foronda's speech is very broken.

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

Is he drunk?

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

I look at the desk and see two liquor bottles empty and a third open.

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

...... when.

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

'So what do you think Druid?

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

'It's difficult to talk about it because it could be a burden.'

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

I know," he said. Borolda and the others said they didn't know what to do. It's just that word might get out about my sister."

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

It's true that it's quite rare for a criminal slave to be entrusted to a vigilante group, so it's possible that rumors will get out.

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

It's definitely better to talk about it than to know about it through rumors.

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

Besides, it might just be a good start.

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

I wanted to propose the story to Ivy by now.

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

It would be pretty hard if she said no, but ...... that's Ivy's call too.

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

I'm ready to talk about it.

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

Druid?　What's up?"

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

I'll talk to him. I had something I wanted to tell Ivy too."

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

...... what are you going to tell me?"

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

I look at Lord Foronda and meet his serious gaze.

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

Maybe he's sensing what I'm about to say.

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

'I'm going to suggest to Ivy that we become real parents and children.

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

Hmm~ ......"

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

Would they object?

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

But this is something I've been thinking about for a long time.

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

I was torn because I can't protect Ivy with my one arm, but then I realized it would be disrespectful to Ivy to even think about it.

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

I was glad. That's what we were hoping for."

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

What?"

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

Lord Foronda's gaze turns soft and gentle.

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

I was able to get to know some of your personality through the "fukusu. I also know that the two of you have formed a very good bond through the 'fukusu' that Ivy gives you. That's why we were talking about how we wanted the two of you to become father and son. But we didn't say it because it's not a matter for a third party to interfere. Rattrua, Sifaru, and Nougat were getting antsy when they read the "fukusu" that we received from the two of them.

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

"Burned."

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

Oh," he said. Why can't we be real when we're like a father and son who believe in each other?"

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

I didn't know that.

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

Come to think of it, Mr. Sifal asked me once if I had anything to report, but I guess that's what he meant.
