Last day in Benessa.

It was the day that Yuria and Robert, who had been traveling together for a little over a month, would part ways.

“Thank you; it was a lot of fun.”

“Hey… Yuria. Are you really going to say no? Thinking about it again…”

Robert asked anxiously.

However, Yuria shook her head and smiled.

“Didn’t I tell you already? The place I should be right now is at Beden Merchant Company in Schwyz. After learning a little more from Miss Isolda and Mr. Bahamut, I will have to stay here until I can decide my path perfectly.”

“Haaa…”

Robert let out a deep sigh, reaffirming that he couldn’t break Yuria’s will to learn.

“Don’t be so depressed. After all, there will be many opportunities to see each other in the future. And…”

Then, looking at Robert with a disappointed expression, Yuria smiled brightly and said,

“I don’t know; maybe going to Hangury later, as you recommended, will be the path I will choose.”

“Ah…”

At Yuria’s words, Robert began to show feelings of joy, albeit in a small way. 

Seeing this, Yuria held his hand tightly and said, “Then see you again. You should be healthy until then.”

“Yes! Yuria, stay healthy too. You must… you have to.”

A boy and a girl who broke up with such regret and a little expectation for the future. 

Watching this from afar, a light smile began to form on Isolda’s lips.

‘It’s the first love in their youth… It’s a bit regretful that I didn’t have those sweet memories? I experienced my first love when I was older, but…’

Seeing the girl, who was similar but different from herself, living a more positive and brighter life, Isolda’s heart began to feel proud as if she were a mother.

“Ugh…”

“Damn…”

Seemingly hundreds of people lay on the floor. 

Looking at them, the five women lightly brushed the hem of their clothes and showed triumphant looks on their faces.

“Hahahaha! Is it only this much? As expected, even if you claimed to do this and that, it was just a level of arrogance.”

“But, other than Sister Ophelia, I haven’t seen anyone who could be classified as high level within the guild. They are about as good as it gets.”

“That’s because our skills were at the very top of Sakiel’s experts! It’s just that we’ve been underestimated so far.”

“This… can I get a raise with this? From 1 talet per month to 2 talets…”

The members of Predator talked with anticipation. 

Regarding this, Echid slowly nodded and said, “It was promised, so it must be so. I have never heard of a breach of contract at the Beden Merchant Company.”

With those words, Echid glanced at Ophelia, who was standing behind her. 

Ophelia quietly smiled and nodded, and Echid, who saw that, slightly averted her gaze and blushed lightly.

Meanwhile, watching this scene from the window was Bahamut, who was experiencing a slightly complicated feeling.

‘No matter how middle or low level it may be, I would never have thought that our adventurers belonging to the upper ranks would be completely defeated. So they are called…Predator? I didn’t think that something that was only mentioned in passing in the original novel could be so great.’

The Predator was only mentioned as a roughly small branch of the Sakiel Knights organization. Considering that their names wouldn’t come out after that, it was highly likely that the writer simply didn’t care in the first place.

‘In addition, that woman called Leader fought almost equally with Ophelia, right? Although Ophelia’s growth is not over yet. Even taking that into account, it is by no means weak. It means that even if she doesn’t improve, she’ll be on par with Gerard, the strongest swordsman in Hangury.’

For Bahamut, it was really an unexpected piece of pie that fell from the sky. He didn’t expect anything from the matter of Isolda taking Yuria under her wing. But he never really thought she would bring such a jackpot.

‘Looking at it from this point of view… I guess it means that this world is not limited to only the contents of the novel. A myriad of unknown variables are already occurring everywhere, including myself. Right now, the Emperor of the Holy Empire, too…’

An invitation from an emperor of the Holy Empire. Emperor Carol’s initiative to commend Bahamut for his contribution to helping Hangury in crushing the conspiracy of the Dragona Empire, one of the main enemies of the Holy Empire, and to establish a closer relationship.

On the surface, it seemed to be the case, but Bahamut had already heard and knew the details beyond that.

‘Except for this or that phrasing, it’s actually the result of Bertina’s efforts. Anyway… she’s a great woman in many ways.’

Bertina Minerva, the Lady of Blue Gold who almost completely controls the commercial power of the Holy Empire. 

In the original novel, she should have already awakened as a villainess at this point and become a public enemy destroying the economy of the empire.
