Chapter 175: Ryouma’s Conjecture (2/3)
He was so natural about it that I ended up accepting the pamphlet. I wonder if he prepared this right from the start.
I thanked him then entered the carriage. I sat myself between Fei-san and Ox-san.
When I’d completely seated myself, the driver imdiately rode away almost as if he had rely been waiting for .
I saw Orest seeing us off with a smile through the passing scenery from the windows.
“Fuu…” [Reinhart, Pioro, Serge]
When the carriage had completely left the lot, the three adults seated in front of all heaved a sigh.
“Thank you very much for accompanying today.” [Ryouma]
“I was free for the day. It was the least I could do.” [Reinhart]
“And we couldn’t have let you go alone anyway.” [Pioro]
“As for why, I’m sure you understand now, right, Ryouma-sama?” [Serge]
Yeah. Everyone coming along was really a big help.
If I’d gone to see that person alone without knowing anything, I would have probably ended up dancing on his palms. I an more than I ended up dancing this ti around anyway.
“Just like you said, Serge-san. He’s not a bad person, but he’s certainly not soone you can let your guard down against.” [Ryouma]
Reinhart-san said the sa thing, but he’s really ticulous when it cos to balancing his distance with people.
Even when I find myself caught up in his pace, I never feel any sort of discomfort.
In my case, everything concluded without things escalating to the point where I had to raise my voice and yell at him.
Whenever we talked, he would lead the conversation along and confuse , and by the ti we’re done, I just don’t care anymore.
I’m sure he adjusts his personality accordingly and does the sa thing to everyone.
He’s a really exhausting person to be with. Because of that I can more or less understand everyone’s feelings, but still… He’s not soone I can hate.
Besides, I’m sure he’ll probably just enjoy himself all the sa if soone were to hate him.
“It is him that we’re talking about, so yeah, that would probably be the case. Still, you sure understand him well despite this being your first eting.” [Reinhart]
“If I were alone, then I probably wouldn’t have had such an easy ti dealing with him, but you guys were with and acted as a wall for . Because of that I was able to calmly talk to him… By talking to him I was able to find sothing about that’s similar to him… If only a little.” [Ryouma]
“Sothing similar? You and Orest? But you’re not really similar. No.” Reinhart]
“Indeed.” [Serge]
“I’m not talking about our personality. I guess what I’m referring to is how we think in regards to our object of interest.” [Ryouma]
When I find a new sli, I make them approach various things to see what they’re good at and what they’re bad at. If needed, I would even give them poison. And even if the sli ended up biting my hand because of that, I don’t think I would get mad. If anything I’ll just beco even more curious and wonder ‘How did the sli manage to bite my hand?’ ‘What kind of abilities can it demonstrate?’
Although, to be honest, I’m not really that interested when it cos to people, so I can’t really understand using the sa mindset to approach people.
“Basically, what I’m saying is that it feels as if he doesn’t seem to think about whether he’s acting close or not.” [Ryouma]
“Ahh…” [Reinhart]]
“So that’s what you an…” [Serge]
“So that’s what it is…” [Pioro]
When I said that, everyone was able to understand what I was trying to get at. Fei-san too, who was sitting beside , although he wasn’t saying anything. Ox-san didn’t know about my love for slis, so he couldn’t understand…
Oh, well, that was rude of , wasn’t it? Even though I didn’t know Ox-san all that well, I just went and started a conversation about sothing he knew absolutely nothing about.
“Sorry for ignoring you.” [Ryouma]
“Don’t mind .” [Ox]
I’m glad he’s so understanding, but… We have introduced ourselves already, so maybe I should talk to him about the future.
I’ll be staying at the duke’s family for the next three days, so during that ti, I want him to talk to Fei-san and get a good explanation of matters regarding the store, especially regarding security related stuff. Moreover, if possible, I would also like to get his help for the wedding hall. If he can swing that heavy sword of his with one hand so easily, then I’m sure he’ll be a great boon to us in our work.
“And one more thing. If you’re okay with it, I would like you to help with my experints in dicine.” [Ryouma]
“dicine?” [Ox Lord]
At that, I told him about the scenario I was given. The one where I learned about the concoction and theory of dicine from my grandma and am actually quite skilled at it.
I told him that the dicine I want to test is the Mana Recovery dicine. Not the instant effect type sold of in stores, but a different type of mana recovery dicine that gradually restores mana over ti.
Ox-san learned how to use his sword with magic because he didn’t want to give up his sword even after losing his left hand. Unfortunately, because he is a mber of the beast tribe, he doesn’t have that much mana. I think it would be a waste to leave his skill to rot on its own like this..
He doesn’t have a lot of mana, so he can’t fight for a long ti.
And when he runs out of mana, his conditions gets so bad that even his movents start to lose their luster.
As his condition deteriorates, he’ll eventually find himself unable to attack anymore. It’s basically self-destruction.
