The adventurers who had checked the contents out of curiosity probably left early with a wave of their hands.

Just as he was stroking his chin and thinking about the contents of the parchment, his wrist holding the parchment was firmly grasped by someone.

Although it is not as strong as Filia's hand that can crush it, it is still as strong as a rock.

"We are indeed stupid, and you are free to laugh at us. But... that's no excuse for you to fool her. Please return the letter of authorization to us."

Aimee Castina's fingers tightly grasped her wrist.

It felt like heavy iron. As long as he didn't let go of the parchment, she probably wouldn't let go of her wrist either.

Chapter 7 The So-called Woman's Heart

Aimee Castina.

This person possesses the quality of respecting others.

At the same time, there is also a kind heart and a tenacious spirit to tolerate others.

He is a well-deserved hero.

Indeed, Aimee Castina also possesses a great spirit.

That spirit is admirable, including myself.

But ah.

Honestly, I don't like it.

I have never liked it since the past.

The more you face the warm sunshine, the more you feel your own humbleness.

Although I am much better now than before, the experiences I had in the past are not so easy to forget.

Therefore, we must find a way to put an end to it.

"I refuse. Isn't this a power of attorney?"

He looked directly into Ames's azure eyes without fear and said so.

Although I said I wasn't afraid at all, to be honest, how fast my heart was beating was a secret only I knew.

But it doesn’t matter, it’s just right this way.

As long as no one finds out, I'm not afraid.

"I accept this commission—but there are conditions."

Hearing this, Ames' pupils trembled slightly.

I couldn't help but take this opportunity to shake off her suddenly relaxed hand.

Then, he looked at Frodo with sharp eyes.

"...Tell me the conditions."

This response sounded like a question, but also like a guess.

In short, the first step was indeed successful.

-------------------------------------

Filia moistened her lips with beer and said with a sullen face that it tasted bad.

The Garganti Chamber of Commerce and Industry has a tavern that is as grand as its store.

Not only was there ample space, but there wasn't even a trace of dirt or garbage.

It is a place where you can enjoy drinking in a clean environment and accumulate energy for the next work.

As a guild tavern, it is impeccable and first-class.

At least, compared to the pub opened by Holt, the taste and selection of wine in this pub are of superior quality.

It seems that compared with the common people, the tongues of the aristocracy are still too luxurious.

"A powder keg dancing on flames, that's not a bad name. I never know what you'll do."

"But, I've long known that something will happen somewhere one day. It makes me nervous."

"Haha... The Colosseum is still better. The beasts there are much more docile than you."

Filia said this while shrugging her shoulders as if in mockery.

I'm not as good as you at slaying large monsters all by yourself—I could only shrug my shoulders and secretly retort to this in my mind.

After all, it's impossible to talk about something that hasn't happened yet.

After taking a sip of wine, Filia turned her gaze to Lalge An beside her.

"What do you think, Ann? Isn't it the most neutral to have you give the most impartial evaluation, since we've only just met?"

Sitting on the large wooden barrel that served as a chair, with his tongue touching the water, Lalge An stopped moving for a moment as if he had thought it through, and then immediately moved his lips again.

"Yeah~ I guess what people call a hero is someone who possesses values ​​and abilities that ordinary people don't understand, right?"

This statement is actually a bit vague, but if combined with Filia's previous remarks, it carries a kind of ironic meaning of implicitly criticizing the abrupt behavior of this side.

Filia seemed to understand this as well, and turned her gaze towards this side as if she had won a victory.

Admittedly, it’s not good.

I am so sorry.

If someone who knows nothing about it, they would probably have the same feeling when they first watch it.

Unfortunately, how can I tell them the truth?

If I tell the truth, then being considered a lunatic might be a good outcome.

Oh, it's so hard to be in a situation where only one person knows the secret.

I feel my stomach starting to hurt.

"...But, will you come?"

"That one, Miss Volgograd, right? I don't think she'd be easily fooled by such sweet talk, so if you're planning on making a killing, it's probably impossible."

Sure enough, she - Lalge An is very capable.

Even if you have lost all your memories of Frodo Volgograd, even if you only saw that scene, you can to a certain extent see through this character's intelligence and depth of thinking.

Perhaps, it is the ability to understand others.

In fact, Lalge An possesses abilities that correspond to his talents.

Just now, after entering the guild, he immediately used his speaking skills, persuasiveness, and negotiation abilities to help himself and Filia log into the guild roster.

These interpersonal skills are like carrying them with you.

How should I put it...it seems that he is not just a name, but is worthy of being Helena's subordinate.

But this makes things even more troublesome, after all, I'm being targeted by this kind of person.

"will come."

In response to Lalge An's question, Filia nodded as a matter of course.

Even though she was sure she didn't like the taste, she still poured the beer into her stomach.

"I will definitely come. Although you have good judgment of men, you still don't understand women's hearts."

Hearing this, Lalge An's eyes widened.

To be honest, in my mind, Lalge An has undoubtedly fallen into the category of woman.

As for Filia, although she does not fall into the category of men, the answer to the question of whether she can be easily counted as a woman is very hesitant.

To be honest, I didn't expect Filia to say the word "woman's heart".

"One look at him shows that he is certainly not a fool who would be fooled by sweet talk."

"But I don't think he's such a mediocre person that he'd miss his chance—want to take a gamble?"

In response to these words filled with conviction, the girl sitting on the barrel uttered something like "Ohhh" in an admiring tone.

But to be honest, I really want to know which of the things I just said has anything to do with women's hearts?

Never mind. It doesn't matter.

Anyway, call the waiter first and choose a glass of high-end wine as the prize for the bet.

Just at this moment, I suddenly caught a glimpse of Filia's gaze turning towards me.

The gaze from those silver pupils was filled with a strange, gorgeous passion.

But on the other hand, it also carries the sharpness that can pierce the body.

I don't know what it means, but there seems to be some intention in his sight.

My stomach felt like it was burning and I felt a cramping pain.

Filia's gaze didn't give people a good feeling no matter how you looked at it.

(Two more chapters to go.)

(PS: The title number of the previous chapter was wrong, it should be Chapter 6)

Chapter 8 Hostility from the Brave

Filia's gaze always gives people a bad feeling.

This comes from past experience, what we tell ourselves in our heads.

——Crack, crack.

The bell on the door jingled, announcing the arrival of the guests.

A few people looked on with interest, while others continued drinking and chatting without caring at all.

In this tavern, only Filia was saying "I win".

Then, place your lips close to the wine that has just been given as a prize.

-------------------------------------

"To confirm the contents and conditions of the commission."

Frodo Volgograd's clear voice echoed in the tavern.

It was a clear voice that would remain in the ears, different from Candice's weak or cold voice.

Here, there are three of us: myself, Filia, and Larg An.

On the other side were Frodo and the future savior, Ames Castina, who was sitting at the same table.

There were five people in total, sitting around the table.

Trying to stay calm, I suppressed my heartbeat.

"please."

In order to utter such simple words, he opened his lips as if urging her to do so.

"First, the commission is for the Old Church located at the Cape. We need you to serve as a guard while exploring the ruins of the Heraldic Cult's underground temple, and also to assist in the exploration."

Heraldry.

That was the old church that existed before the Cassia religion.

It is now usually called the Heraldic Church, and was called the Old Church for most of the time.

It is also common for something to be offensive to be called a heresy.

In order to destroy the will of the demons, the goddess Cassia established her own church - the Cassia Cult.

Of course, the Cult of Cassia is also known as the Great Saint Cult.

If there are multiple beliefs at the same time, the Great Saint Religion will lose its believers, causing the world's people to no longer be pure on the fundamental issue of eliminating the demons.

As a result, the old church called the Church of Heraldry was gradually wiped out.

Of course, this is something that will never be revealed on the surface, and even in ancient books, there is probably not even a trace of it.

But this is undoubtedly correct, because it was said by another goddess herself.

The Heraldry Cult was secretly wiped out by the Goddess, and the temples it left behind were either destroyed or most of them were lost due to abandonment.
