57.

“The spirits have returned.”

“huh.”

Ban seemed to have a lot of questions, but he didn’t ask. Even though things have improved a lot, I’m not used to asking Richt anything.

‘But what about the warning?’

The easiest way is to inform Ain. But he was unwilling. This was because I learned that the man who I thought was simply a butler was actually capable of doing greater things.

An Ain would have hung several of his clan members to set an example to Jin. He didn’t want to cause that much pain. Although Richt may seem like a villain to Jin, he still wanted to at least maintain the good line.

In that case, it is not possible to go through Ajin. You must not tell your class either. Then there are two ways left. One is to use the pre-seogu, and the other is to sing through a means imprinted on Richt.

‘For now, I’ll pass Jeonseo-gu.’

The Devine family uses something very unique about Jeon Seo-gu. I wonder if anyone would recognize that in a village that isn’t even a city. just in case.

‘I guess it would be better to call it directly.’

Richt sighed softly. Luckily, half of them didn’t see him.

“I guess I’ll have to scold you anyway, right?”

The spirit was startled by those words and asked.

[who?]

The spirit was startled and asked.

“Not you.”

Then the spirits enjoyed Richt’s touch with a relieved expression.

‘What was the Shadow Knight called in the original work?’

Richt slowly remembered. It didn’t take long before a method occurred to me. Just concentrate and sing.

‘Is this your first time calling me this?’

Because the original Richt hated using this method. He is such a big racist.

‘But I can’t call you now.’

You wouldn’t know it if you were alone, but now you were with your class. I didn’t want him to find out what Jin had done. Because of that, Richt sent Van on an errand for a while.

“Can you buy me some fruit from the market?”

What I was told to buy was nothing special, but the designated fruit shop was far away. Unless the class was running, it would take quite some time.

“Aren’t you going together?”

“I have work to do.”

Ban became sullen at Richt’s firm words. I wanted to change my words right away, but I held back.

“I’ll be back.”

The class gave an anxious look and went out. He had tried not to be separated from Licht since they had fled together to Asrahan. I am anxious about what will happen in the meantime.

‘It wasn’t that bad, though.’

It was impossible to stick around forever. So Richt tried to persuade the class, and the results came out today. Van was finally able to turn his attention away from Richt.

“Okay then. “Would one of you please follow me?”

Still, I was anxious about sending it alone, so I asked the spirit. Then the spirits all shook their heads.

[no!]

[me too!]

[What should I do if I fail again?]

“please. “He is someone who is precious to me.”

When she said that, the spirit’s cheeks puffed out.

[we are? Are we precious too?]

“of course. You guys are precious too. “It’s so cute.”

Since there is no class next to him, he can freely say things that do not fit Licht’s image.

[Hmm. Yes, we are cute.]

[Then shall we decide who will follow?]

[We have to decide quickly. You left earlier.]

The spirits discussed together and sent out the smallest spirit.

[I hate it!]

The spirit stirred, but was thrown outside without mercy.

[Have a nice trip~!]

In the end, the smallest spirit puffed out its cheeks again and flew towards the class that had become a dot. Only when Van was out of sight did Licht close the door. Then he sat down on a chair in the living room and closed his eyes.

The contract with the Shadow Knight runs through blood. What he meant was that even if the souls were different, as long as this body was alive, the contract would not be broken. Unless you break the contract on purpose.

It’s better to focus your mind quietly and feel connected to something. Maybe this is the shadow knight. Richt gave an order to the one with the strongest energy among them.

Come here right away.

There was no answer back. Because it’s not two-way in the first place. First of all, it seems like the call was successful, but I don’t know when Jin will show up. The period would vary depending on where he was.

Richt took a deep breath and stood up. I was planning on preparing a light meal before my class returned.

The days that could have been peaceful and noisy have passed. In the end, the secretary’s efforts were in vain and Richt’s store was chosen by the royal family. As the royal emblem appeared on the sign, more people came to visit.

Among them, there were occasionally nobles. People who don’t buy things in person for the sake of saving face, but the royal family’s store is an exception.

Thanks to you, I saw a few noble faces. Among them, there was one who clung tenaciously to Richt. Although she had a sensitive and nervous appearance, she was an outstanding beauty, just like her mother.

“hello.”

Elaine, the girl right in front of Richt, was one of those people. Revealing that she is the only daughter of a count family, she is currently serving Asrahan’s youngest princess. That’s why she wasn’t supposed to be here in the first place. Because the distance from the capital to here is quite long.

“This time, our princess was selected as the representative of the Imperial Envoy Corps. However, he was weak and tired from the long journey, so he stayed in this village for a few days.”

Since she wasn’t in any particular pain, Elaine, the princess’s maid, also had some free time. She wandered around without much thought and stopped by Richt’s Bakery, which had been recommended by the royal family. I wasn’t used to waiting in line, but the bread I tasted at the end was fantastic. That’s it.

Elaine kept her eyes on Richt the entire time she was choosing bread. At best, he is the owner of a small bakery, but his appearance is very attractive.

‘No, you’re still a commoner.’

I thought about it that way and tried to hold back, but it didn’t last long. Even though it was a fairly large town, there wasn’t much for Elaine to enjoy. Even the biggest street lined with stores was much smaller than the city, and there was nothing worth doing.

Natural Elaine returned to the bakery. But today the bakery owner is nowhere to be seen. Instead, the employee who always stayed by his side was organizing the bread. Once you see this person, it is not an impression that will be easily forgotten.

Elaine leisurely picked bread while waiting for the bakery owner, but he never came back. As he turned around with regret, he felt eyes on his back. He turned around to see something, but all he saw was the employee.

‘Is it an illusion?’

With that thought in mind, Elaine headed to her dorm with a bag full of bread. Since the princess’s condition had improved a lot today, he thought of offering her some bread.

Richt left Van in charge of the store for a while and came out. There was a shortage of ingredients in the middle, so I was planning to stop by the top and ask if they had it in stock. As he walked down the street, people pretending to know him appeared here and there.

The original Richt would have been shocked, but now he is just a baker and not Devine. I shook his hand lightly and accepted his greeting.

‘But it’s strange. I’m sure they ordered the right ingredients.’

Why did it arrive short? Richt tilted his head and entered the path to the top. He was on a quieter road with less people than other places, but he wasn’t in any danger. The lord of this territory was more faithful to his work than expected, and the village guards were very active and enthusiastic about their role.

As I was walking without thinking, a person wearing a hood appeared in front of me. Although his outward appearance seemed quite suspicious, Richt was not surprised.

“You’re late.”

He was just bashing calmly. The hooded person immediately sat down on his knees and bowed his head.

“sorry.”

Richt walked up to him and removed his hood. Jin’s face was revealed, looking a little rough as he rushed over. He was someone who always walked around with a smile on his face, but now he had no expression on his face.

“Do you know why I called you?”

Jin’s jaw tightened.

“I do not know.”

Lies come out of your mouth calmly. Well, even if something had been committed, it would have been difficult to tell the truth. Because there was no way I would fall for Licht’s damn personality.

‘But not like this.’

I became increasingly grumpy. She must have suffered so much because of Jin. He lowered her body and asked again.

“Are you sure you don’t know why?”

“… … “I could not protect my master.”

It’s not wrong, but that’s not the only fault, right? However, Jin seemed determined to pull it off until the end. Obviously knowing Richt’s personality. He was not the person to trust Jin.

Even if Jin didn’t really commit anything wrong, it’s already over at the point of suspicion.

“I hate lies.”

“I know.”

“Knowing?”

“If you give me time, I can explain.”

“Why should I give it time?”

This was the right thing to do here. Because Richt is not a person who would be considerate of others.

“It was you who was wrong.”

Jin’s body began to tremble as he deliberately raised the corners of his mouth and smiled. Even if you act cautiously, you are still young when you see things like that. He couldn’t completely hide his emotions.

“I’m glad though. “I feel good today.”

Now it was Jin’s turn to choose.
