§ 175. List of contracts (1)
The day Seongjin left the imperial capital.
The brothers and sisters who saw him off gathered at the unoccupied Jinju Palace at lunchtime as if they had made an appointment. Before we knew it, having lunch together had become a habit.
With Seo Yi-seo in Cadmus Mode joining in, lunch at Jinju Palace became the most burdensome meal in the imperial palace.
Even the hospitality of the prince, princess, and saint.
The workers screamed inwardly.
‘I thought it would be easier for a while since Prince Mores wasn’t around!’
Only the chef felt proud and secretly clenched his fists.
‘My cooking skills are the best in the imperial palace!’
Even with the meal prepared in front of them, the brothers and sisters were silent for a moment. Today was the day that Mores left the palace, but I felt so empty because I couldn’t see his naturally sullen face.
In particular, Amelia, who had been with him almost every day since he woke up from his fever, was completely depressed.
[Why don’t you listen?]
Cadmus asked curiously, and Amelia sighed.
“Where has she gone now? “Is she safe and well?”
[Of course you will be fine. It’s been a few hours since we left.]
Then Sisley said sullenly:
“You probably don’t have much more than the imperial palace, but are you eating well?” … .”
[It’s probably before we even reach Regina. Do your best, descendant. Do you know that it went to some remote place?]
Cadmus looked dumbfounded, but Logan added in a calm voice.
“No matter how much I think about it, the number of escorts is too small. “There shouldn’t be anything dangerous.”
[…] … .]
Cadmus completely lost his appetite. This hasn’t happened since I entered my new body, so what on earth are they doing with a feast in front of them?
Slurp.
The golden light disappears from his eyes, and soon his brown eyes return.
“… uh?”
Seo Yi-seo, who blinked her dreamy eyes for a moment, soon noticed the gorgeous multi-course meal in front of her and her eyes filled with tears.
“bar… It’s rice! “It’s rice!”
Ugh! How long has it been since this food!
Seo Yi-seo, who had not been able to eat a decent meal since gaining the Half-Body Advent passive skill, began to frantically shove food into her mouth, shedding tears and snot.
Upon hearing the news that the saintess had emptied all of her plate, shedding tears of emotion, it was an added bonus that the Jinju Palace chef began to become even more determined to fight.
And then the next day came.
With an even more hearty lunch in front of them, Amelia, Logan, and Sisley were even more dispirited.
“It’s somehow ominous that I haven’t calmed down since morning. “The teacups Mirabell handed me were broken three times in a row.”
[Because your hands are shaking like that, you keep dropping the glass!]
“Definitely today was a bit of a strange day. “Aren’t all the scarecrows in the gymnasium going to be destroyed in the morning?”
[That’s because you struck me with that ignorant weapon, descendant!]
“I was short-tempered. She wasn’t going to rely on an escort. At the very least, I should have completely removed the 7th standard sword technique for the Imperial Knights… … .”
[…] … .]
Cadmus clicked his tongue.
[Ugh. I would rather see this… Tsk.]
And again at meal time, Seo Yi-seo, who returned safely, shed tears of emotion as she looked at the table.
“rice! Is this really a dream? Hehehe!”
That day, Chief Chamberlain Louis received inquiries from the prince and princess one by one.
“… “Prince Mores said he was very concerned and asked if there was any way he could take a moment to look at it.”
Seonghwang, who finally finished a long political meeting and heard those words from Lewis in the afternoon, was inwardly embarrassed.
‘I was planning on taking a quick look after work, but how on earth were the kids supposed to know?’
* * *
After Seongjin left the dorm with his escorts, Bruno Green, who remained in the room, momentarily regretted his choice.
The fact that he was avoiding people out of fear of being tired meant that the more annoying woman ended up staying with him. An exorcist who receives unorganized thoughts through a channel all day long and releases them without any filtering.
[Beep, beep, beep. Hehehe! When are you coming back? Charalingling. This is an important list. Piung, shooung! He’s getting annoyed, he’s cute! Ah! Beep beep beep. Let’s chase after him! Kyaha!]
Bruno groaned, pressing the pillow down on his head. In this case, wouldn’t it have been better to follow the prince?
Then, at some point, the loud sound completely stopped.
[…] … .]
Bruno listened intently and eventually got up from his seat. It’s nice to be quiet, but isn’t it really annoying to suddenly become silent for no reason?
As he left the room, what he found was an exorcist walking down the hallway just in time.
“Where are you going, Sir Sharon?”
The exorcist’s feet, which had been walking quietly and silently, suddenly stopped.
“Lord Sharon?”
However, what was secretly looking back at him were not Sir Sharon’s characteristic jet black eyes, but rather familiar silver-grey eyes.
A huge presence that can be felt even with clumsy channeling skills. The unique, restrained movements of an Auror.
Bruno eventually had no choice but to ask this.
“… Really, Your Majesty? “What are you doing here now?”
Then the exorcist, or rather Seonghwang, sighed.
[I’m sorry for surprising you. Could you please pretend not to see me? I just came to check on the child for a moment.]
“… … .”
Bruno was originally a man of great courtesy, but this time he was so outrageous that he couldn’t keep his mouth shut even though he knew it was blasphemous.
You came to check? It’s only been one day since you left?
There are degrees of worry. What on earth does this person think of the grown-up prince?

“uh? Aren’t you two eating? “What are you doing here?”
In the silence, a young man who was coming up carrying a lyre spotted them and asked. It was Laurent, a bard with long braided hair wrapped around his neck.
He had just been warned by the prince not to leave the residence as much as possible, as it could be dangerous today.
However, the eyes of Seonghwang, who was closely examining him with a strange glow, suddenly opened wide.
[The dead… … .]
“… yes?”
Seonghwang’s expression became quite serious.
A person who should have died yesterday and today was granted an extra life. Plus, I received a unique calling.
It was impossible to know whose influence this was.
And right then.
At the sensation of prosperity, I suddenly felt a strange flow of power cut through the air. People who are inexplicably drawn by something run quickly toward a certain point.
The world watching this sudden movement murmured together.
The Emperor looked anxiously towards the north, where people were gathering.
It’s only been one day since I left the imperial capital.
What on earth are you doing, son?
* * *
“… “Are you planning a visit?”
When the guard asked curiously, Seongjin nodded.
“There is no specific date and time set. I just sent a letter saying I’ll be stopping by Regina soon and we can talk. “Are you sure you didn’t receive it?”
“Even if you suddenly say that… … .”
The guard blurted out his words as if he was embarrassed.
A young boy appeared from somewhere, leading a group of wealthy knights, and requested a meeting, mentioning his promise with the branch head of the Rich Merchants Association.
It was an absurd thing to do, but the reason I couldn’t resist it was because the identity presented by the other party was so clear.
The guard said to wait a moment and disappeared into the logistics relay station.
And the person who was called out right away was a middle-aged man wearing smart clothes. He must be one of the managers employed by the Merchants’ Association.
“Unfortunately, the branch manager was out on duty for a while, sir. “If it’s not rude, may I listen to the business on your behalf and tell it to you?”
“okay?”
Seongjin said as if he was disappointed. Of course, he didn’t really think he would be able to meet the branch manager right away.
“Then tell him. I would like to join you for dinner tonight, so please contact the accommodation. “I have a project I’m planning these days, and I really need the branch manager’s help.”
“… “Business?”
“huh. I’m planning to open a restaurant in the capital that specializes in salmon. Since a stable supply of materials will be needed, he wrote in ‘detail’ in the letter that he would like to slightly increase the quantity of salmon from Ortona through the logistics relay station. Could it be that the letter didn’t arrive?”
And before hearing the answer, he tilted his head and added.
“but. I guess you didn’t receive it. Otherwise, there would be no reason for me to go out to work at this time when I arrived in Regina.”
Naturally, the information that the Holy Empire’s prince would pass through Regina was already widely known.
If there really was such a promise, this would be a clear disregard for a member of the Holy Family. The manager felt cold sweat running down his back.
“Well, I don’t really care, so don’t worry and be sure to tell me to contact the dorm.”
After saying that to the manager who bowed his head in embarrassment, Seongjin turned and walked out. Then Masain followed closely behind him and asked.
“A salmon restaurant? When did you become interested in such a business? “I was always focused on swordsmanship classes, so I didn’t pay attention, sir.”
Then Seongjin looked at Masain with pitiful eyes.
You still don’t know me that much, Lord Martha? It’s obvious that I just made it up.
‘How about Magi? ‘Is there any change?’
[No, it’s not moving from that spot.]
Hmm. Even though I pointed at the branch manager and made a fuss, there was no movement at all. First of all, you’re saying it’s not the branch manager or his close associates?
‘If there was one devil, I assumed that it must be related to the head of the logistics relay station… … .’
Seongjin was deep in thought as he walked.
Deep inside, I was expecting that I would encounter a demonic species sooner or later.
A dark church that is said to worship the Demon King as a god.
A member of the Milo family who carries around the badges of the religious order.
A merchant association that condones and supports the Milo Merchant Marine’s advance into the north.
So I always thought there was a possibility that there was a demonic species somewhere in that chain.
But who would have thought that they would be hiding in such a big city?
‘Dasha might be sneaking in there right now. There will also be Orden and his party following Milo Sangju. ‘Is it okay if I just leave the devil like that?’
[I’m still hiding and killing all traces. I probably won’t make any hasty moves.]
‘okay. Then, just watch a little longer.’
There was a part of me that believed in it.
Seongjin’s sudden visit to the logistics relay station had the purpose of criticizing the branch manager, but more than anything, it contained the meaning of a warning not to act rashly today, no matter who it was.
Although they are currently disguising themselves as resident knights of the Jinju Palace, everyone in the know knows that some of the prince’s attendants are actually paladins of the monster task force.
‘Besides, I deliberately brought up dinner, so it might be a good idea to sneak in and catch him off guard before that happens.’
At that time, the wind blew from somewhere and quietly wrapped around his arm. Seongjin was so lost in his thoughts that he didn’t realize it.
Seongjin led the still bewildered group into the restaurant area.
“Wow, it tasted amazing, just like I heard!”
The restaurant recommended by Sir Claudia was amazing. At first, I was taken aback when I saw the long line of people waiting to fill the inside, but perhaps because it was such a famous house, there was a separate VIP section.
Thanks to this, Seongjin and his party were able to pay an additional fee and finish their meal comfortably without waiting.
“I’m glad you found it right. “You haven’t eaten this much lately, have you?”
Masain said happily. This is because Seongjin, who did not consume more than the appropriate amount of food after controlling his weight, ate a full meal on rare occasions.
Of course it was delicious, but there was another important reason.
[Is it over already? Let’s take one more bite of steak! huh? It would be a waste to leave it like this, right? ah! That cheese pie! Just a little more cheese pie!]
If Seongjin hadn’t been so impatient and told him to do it in moderation, the devil would probably have tried to empty the plates of the people next to him.
And the Demon King, who had finally finished eating, muttered openly in his head.
[Ugh! This is life! I’m so happy.]
Seongjin was dumbfounded.
happiness? Is that what a devil who feeds on human misfortune would do?
[What you don’t know. He is a devil because he uses unhappiness as a driving force to make himself happy. I’m not pursuing misfortune itself. Think about it, where in this world would there be a devil who would want to be unhappy?]
… That’s what I heard.
[It is difficult to find such sensuous pleasure in the demon world. That’s why the devils are trying to make a contract with humans. Primal desires such as appetite and lust are very attractive even to demons.]
The Demon King, who was in a good mood, was rolling around in my head.
[So, sometimes, in the case of clumsy beginner demons, they fail to control their desires and endanger their contractees. Because it instantly turns the contractor into a pig or something like a pleasure killer. You can’t overcome the desire of the moment and ruin everything. [Foolishly.]
Hey, is that what you’re going to say?
Earlier, he even tried to lick Lord Masaine’s plate!
