"What if these monsters showed up here after they did their routine scouting?" Eliza tilted her head and asked as she slowly sipped her hot tea, citing a possible scenario that would cause the goblins they had just killed to be missed by the nearby dungeon city. "True, goblins do have ridiculous rates of reproduction, after all. It is very possible for them to grow this much in just a month." Evan replied as he casually circled his arms around Eliza's waist and hugged her from behind, placing his chin…-

Inter-City Freeway Unnamed Abandoned Village Outskirts, Hobha March 14th Year 1052 "So that's how it works..." Evan's voice rang out as he stared at the Hobgoblin king that was twitching on the ground in front of him while nodding to himself. His right palm was covered in a dark red ominous aura that made even Pride take a step back as he silently poked the chest of the half-dead monster. Such a small poke normally would not do anything to the tough skin of the nearly level 200 creature, but Evan's…

"I'm saving this one for when I get a 'yes' and not a 'maybe'." Right after kissing her cheek and circling his thumb around her lips, Evan spoke in a slow sultry voice, his words causing Eliza's entire body to freeze as he lightly patted her hair and continued normally. "Go to sleep. Don't forget that we're leaving for Osto tomorrow." After saying this, Evan turned around and walked away, leaving behind the stunned blonder and entering his room. The moment he closed the door, he dropped down to the…

"Hey, just what is it about me that you like?" "What about you that I like? Almost everything." Eliza rose her eyebrows in surprise, chuckling a bit as she asked. "Isn't this the part where you're supposed to say 'everything', not 'almost everything'." "I'm not gonna lie to you and say I like everything about you. After all, there are some things about you that occasionally get on my nerves. Your domestic violence tendencies for example." Evan replied to Eliza's question as he poured a bit more wine…

"Woah, that's a lot lesser than I had expected." The trio chatted for about a minute much to the dissatisfaction of the mages who she kept waiting but they could not say anything as they didn't want to piss Joanna off. As for Evan, he didn't have a good impression of any of the Grand Mages in Kasteblum, besides those directly related to Gavin and Joanna. He felt that they were all arrogant old fogeys who looked down on people and liked to feel superior to them because of their magic prowess. Thus, he…

"To think that these guys actually built a ski resort here..." Eliza was a bit surprised as she didn't know the ski resort until Evan informed her about it. The artificial mountains were also not too high, with the tallest of them peaking at a thousand metres. She couldn't even see the mountains in the distance over all the tall magic towers in the city-state, as compared to where the mansion of the damned and the inn they lodged in was located, the ski resort was almost on the opposite end of…

"Hey." Seeing Evan act so casually dispelled some of the nervousness that Eliza had been feeling for the past few days. The blonde teenager couldn't help but heave a small sigh as she waved her hand at him and responded to his 'greeting'. They chatted lightly a bit before Evan called for a taxi carriage which the two of them got onto. It was then that Evan clicked his tongue and spoke. "Finally." "huh? Finally, what?" Eliza tilted her head to the side as she asked Evan, however, the young hero's reply…

"10%? Are you for real? Even if you wanted to lower it, 10% is too low. Sell it to us for 22%." The young hero narrowed his eyes at the man before replying. "12%." "20% Can't go any lower." "14% Can't go any higher." "This kid...Fine, 19%." "This old man. Fine 15%." The moment the '15%' left Evan's mouth, the vice guild master suddenly revealed a bright smile as he replied. "That was my goal from the start." "Huh?" He didn't wait for Evan to finish computing his words and instantly turned to…

'Besides, Laurene's skill doesn't work through magic projections, not at stage one or two.' So, the young hero had no qualms in telling the Emperor this fabricated story, not knowing that Emperor had most likely deduced Evan was lying about the issue and had acquired his information from another source. He still wasn't aware that Rudeus knew he was a hero after all. After telling the Emperor to send his regards to the Duke and Duchess, Evan left the magic tower and boarder a carriage to the adventurer's…

Meanwhile, Evan, who was making his way to the Chief Grand Magus's office while sipping his favourite strawberry juice, heaved a sigh of exhaustion as he thought about how much mental energy that he had to expend to keep a straight face throughout the time he was talking with Eliza. The young hero knew his crush wasn't exactly averse to the idea of being a 'thing' with him so he knew he had a chance. 'Her expression when she realised was quite cute though.' A small smile unconsciously formed on his face…
