There's bound to be one person in ten for whom this kind of bribery doesn't work, but I didn't expect it to be Teriz Perlburn."Adelaide is out of the question.""Why? Because she has to take over the family business? She can just take over the family business and be the emperor's aide at the same time.""No means no. Even if you offer to hand over the entire Southern Forest to Kaman, I can't send my granddaughter to Robain."Teriz Perlburn is materialistic. This proposition is true. Teriz loves money. After…-

“This is Tristan. He’s the captain of our mercenary group.”“Greetings.”“And this is my magic teacher. The Great Sage of the Southern Forest…”“I’m Yoo-an. Just call me Great Sage, it’s less troublesome.”Tristan, the mercenary captain of the Red Hawk mercenary group, had a more ordinary appearance than I had imagined.The only thing that stood out was the eyepatch covering his right eye. He wasn't flamboyantly handsome like Irkus, nor did he have any impressive scars on his face or…

“Truly beautiful.”"....."“What’s your name?”Archbold, who had received Irkus from the auction, reached out to Irkus as soon as the carriage door closed.Irkus briefly considered slitting Archbold's throat right there, but since the client's assassination request was not only to kill him but also to ‘bring the head of that dirty scoundrel’, he decided to take a little more time.“Are you perhaps mute?”Archbold chuckled as he stroked Irkus’s hair with his thick hand. He added in a low voice…

Since I had been hiding in the corner of the auction house wearing the invisibility cloak, I needed to do a bit of groundwork so that my sudden appearance wouldn't be suspicious.Unlike magic tools, the use of magic can be detected by its mana movement, so it was quite troublesome to subdue one of the auction participants without using magic.When one of the auction participants got up from the main hall where the auction was taking place, I followed him, still wearing the invisibility cloak. Like most…

“Do you like it that much?”“Yes.”“Gilbert said it wasn’t very pretty.”“It doesn’t matter what Gilbert thinks, he’s not going to use it.”Irkus really liked the magic tool I gave him as a gift.He looked very satisfied with the fact that it was in the form of a ring. When he saw the obsidian embedded as a decoration, his face lit up. I don’t think there’s ever been a time when I haven’t done anything for him, but seeing him so happy made me feel unnecessarily guilty. I should have…

“Gilbert, aren’t you being too much?”“Then who else? This crazy… the atelier has become a greenhouse. It’s not a place where people live, it’s a botanical garden!”The atelier in the Southern Forest, which I had returned to after a long time, was a complete mess. To be precise, it was a mess ‘from a human’s perspective,’ and the problem was that from the tree spirits’ perspective, it looked relatively organized.As expected, Gilbert shook his leaves in dissatisfaction, as if he…

A world where humans do not disappoint each other would not be beautiful. Not being disappointed means not expecting anything, and not expecting anything from people means not being interested in them. "Did I hurt you?" "No." "I'd rather you were greatly disappointed." But no matter how beautiful this world is, if you let a long time flow by like I have, you're bound to get tired of any aesthetic. Irkus's words, that he would rather I be disappointed, hurt me a little. It was funny that I…

"How many assassination requests have you received so far?" "Not that many." "I should really meet the mercenary captain in person. I need to kill that guy." "Calm down, Yoo-an." "How can I be calm right now?" Even though I didn't raise him with meticulous care, I chased away all the imperial knights who came looking for him, and I even went around looking out for him, worried that he might get into trouble, even though it was out of character for me. It was all for nothing. Since he had…

When Irkus first declared that he was going to work as a mercenary, I thought I was going to faint. If I hadn't been cursed with eternal life, I might have collapsed from the shock. I had mentioned puberty a few times, but I wasn't confident that I could handle my child's puberty when it suddenly hit without any preparation. It was a moment when I respected all the parents of the world. Raising children is so difficult, I don't know how everyone else is doing such a good job as guardians. Humans…

"Ir, I bought lunch." I left the headquarters of Night Fellow and walked slowly to the house where Irkus was patiently waiting. On the way, I even thoughtfully bought some skewers from a street vendor for lunch, but Irkus, who should have been waiting patiently inside the house, was nowhere to be seen. At first, I wasn't too flustered that he wasn't in the house. Irkus was quite curious, and although he tried to act mature, children always want to go out and see new things for themselves. So, I…
