How To Suck Honey With Extras [EN]: Chapter 242

Hmm~ that’s a lot.

When I think about it, it’s reasonable because I prevented an accident that almost ruined a country.

In addition.

As the importance increased, the stats also increased.

I welcome it if I get stronger.

I slowly closed the window and decided to focus on the matter at hand.

Because the person across from me was getting sulky, and it was obvious.

I’m talking about Cruse.

“……But why are you following me, Cruse?”

Inside the returning carriage, I stared at Cruse, who was sitting in the seat across from me with a very cool and brazen attitude, and asked.

‘For the time being, I’m thinking of traveling with you, Aileen. Please keep that in mind.’

Cruse, who suddenly came, said that and followed me.

“What’s with that face? Am I bothering you?”

If I say yes here, I feel like I’ll get stabbed with a staff.

And it’s not a bother. I’m just curious.

“It’s not a bother… Cruse, were you always such a leisurely person?”

“I’m busy. The tower is also sending messages continuously requesting explanations about the past events. Hmph…….”

“Then…….”

“Yes. I ignored it.”

She says truancy very coolly.

“It’s enough to have attended the tedious banquets already. To be honest, I don’t want to be interfered with any more than that.”

Looking at it, it’s clear that she really ignored the White Tower’s attendance request and came.

It’s truly a turbulent time.

“To be honest, I don’t think anything special will happen even if you follow me.”

“Hmm? I wonder? I wonder what it will be like?”

Cruse slightly distorted the corners of her mouth as if she wanted to deny that it couldn’t be.

“Let me be honest, Aileen. It’s because of that lich… Kmelz Alfrens.”

“……Is it because of that after all.”

In fact, I couldn’t think of any other reason.

At this time, Cruse had not yet achieved the goal of finding that person.

Looking at it, she doesn’t seem to have the intention of blaming me for talking to that person like last time.

“Twice, you, Aileen, overlapped with that person’s actions. Then…….”

“Since there were two times, there will be a third time?”

“That’s exactly it!”

“I personally want to deny it, but…….”

According to Cruse, doesn’t that mean that I will be involved with that lich again in the future?

What kind of death flag is that again?

‘……The problem is, I can’t deny it.’

Sadly, tears seem to come out at the point where I can’t say no.

It seems that Cruse has changed her policy from directly searching and stirring up the black magician’s workshop.

To watching one idiot who picks up the most death flags.

Damn it!

Of all people, that idiot had to be me.

‘Well, I had no choice but to live…….’

I don’t particularly regret it.

“You may regret it later.”

“It’s okay. I’ll just keep an eye on it for the time being, and if I really think there’s no hope, I’ll think about the course of action again then.”

“In the world, that’s called unplanned and reckless.”

“…….”

She closes her mouth.

It seems that she is thinking about something separately from what she is saying.

……Should I not ask?

Since I knew why she was looking for Kmelz, no matter what I said, it would be nothing more than an excuse.

There’s no way not to step on unnecessary landmines.

Let’s just leave her alone to do what she wants for the time being.

And it’s not a bad decision for me either.

‘I don’t know what will happen in the future, but at least it’s reassuring to have one big force properly attached…….’

Using this as an excuse, I use all sorts of excuses to make her work if there’s anything troublesome.

Hehehehehehehehehe.

With such evil thoughts, I allowed Cruse to accompany me.

“But you have to take care of how you live after this, Cruse.”

I heard that she can’t receive the tower’s support money because she was too lazy to ignore the White Tower’s contact.

A magician needs money.

From the maintenance and repair of equipment to various things, a considerable amount of money is required.

Looking at it, it seems that she couldn’t even bring out much of her personal savings.

“Oh my? What do you think of me?”

Cruse snorted as if it were ridiculous.

“There have been many times when I ran out of money while traveling.”

“Hmm…… I guess so.”

“I’m quite confident in securing gold coins to maintain my livelihood, at least.”

She says proudly.

……Rather, that’s unsettling.

Usually, people who say that tend to cause a big accident.

“Well, don’t come to me later and ask me to help you.”

“What?”

Cruse asks again with a smile.

It’s not that she didn’t hear it, it means tell me one more time.

“Ah, it’s nothing…….”

I avoided her gaze and mumbled vaguely.

After arriving in the central city of the Melpharos Territory, where my mansion and future store were being prepared.

Cruse said she had other business to do and wanted to act separately.

Perhaps, as she assured, she wants to establish a way to stay here for the time being.

After parting ways with her like that, I walked away separately and tried to show my face to everyone first.

‘I hope they kept my store safe?’

Since the incident ended early, there was no need for battles to take place in various places, and I even told them to lock the doors tightly in case of an emergency.

They are more careful than anyone else, so there’s no need to worry.

‘……Ah, come to think of it, I didn’t buy a gift.’

Well, so what.

The wonderful days of success that will follow are as good as a gift!

Thinking that, I finally arrived at the place where the store would be completed.

“Huh?”

I felt a sense of incongruity.

There are many people.

A buzzing feeling.

‘What? What? What happened?’

If there was such a crowd of people, I would also watch the fire across the river [enjoy the spectacle], but the location is the problem.

Isn’t this the place where our store will be located?
