The next two years.
"Thank you for the hard work, here's the payment, 20 gold coins."
"Thank you."
That day as usual Adi had given a report of his work to Riho in the guild, when he got out of there Edgar had greeted him.
"Yes."
Edgar himself was an instructor in the adventurer academy dormitory, his stature was quite high with a plontos head and aura that was enough to make a child afraid, as an adventurer he was a charismatic person in his own way.
Both visit the store to order coffee, the shop itself is quite different, you could say approaching a restaurant with two levels.
The employees are new recruits from Shadow Hunter under Melty.
"Two years ago how were the girls you sent me?"
"They have things to do out there."
"I don't know why strong people like them become slaves, they only study for a year and graduate from there, out there they can even become knights."
"Please don't look at me as if I treated them badly, I wanted to make them free from slavery but they all refused."
"Is that so."
Different from the rest of the Shadow Hunter, only they maintained slavery. The reason for that was because they felt that it could continue to bind their existence with Adi more intensely than just being considered a peer to defeat the demon lord's army.
"So why did you meet me?"
Edgar placed a well-sealed neat envelope, Adi sipped his coffee before looking at the contents.
It was a form for the enrollment of academy students in the capital.
"This, you mean?"
"There is a rumor that the academy is entered by demons? I want to give a special worker for you to go in there to investigate."
"It wouldn't be better to ask someone else, I'm just a level 8 adventurer."
"After seeing your strength I hesitated to call you weak.Your age is still young and neither will anyone know that you are working to investigate them."
"I want to ask you one thing, actually Edgar what is your relationship with this kingdom...especially with princess Alicia?"
"Why are you asking?"
"Just curious, Alicia can enter into an adventure easily and you seem to be moving from behind as well."
It is not difficult for Adi if he wants to reveal through the Shadow Hunter network, but he chose to try to get the answer from his person directly.
"I am his uncle, he is my nephew, I still have an attachment to this kingdom because that is why protecting this place is my duty as well, the least I can do is train people like adventurers to get stronger."
"To be a royal weapon?"
"No, to stay alive" Edgar's answer was so clear and dense.
Adi sighed softly then asked a waiter to borrow the stationery and he filled out the form as he should.
"If I succeed, I want the payment for a territory to live in."
"It's not too expensive."
"Being an academy student is troublesome, especially an academy student, aren't you thinking about how the situation will be?"
Edgar scratched his head in confusion until he finally agreed without complaint.
"All I give you is my arid territory as a noble, no bargain."
"No problem."
Adi agrees before finally leaving Edgar who still sips his coffee.
"Vern are you here?"
"Yes sir."
A girl walks by Adi's side as she steps her foot in the alley.
A man was wearing a black-haired, twintail robe with a white mask covering his face.
The mask itself has no holes or decorations, however, anyone who wears it will have no trouble seeing or breathing.
"I want you to accompany me to the capital, we will disguise ourselves as students of the academy."
Vern, who heard him, was seen stretching out his arms as he spun around as if he were dancing.
"That sounds interesting, Idol Vern will console lonely young souls cling."
Vern stops in front of Adi while doing Vis pose with his hand. He took off his mask showing dazzling jade green eyes like jewels.
"Not at all."
Adi walks past the disillusioned looking Vern, unbeknownst to him Adi is actually yelling in his heart.
Cute crazy, where did Elsa find this guy?
He cleared up to calm himself.
"Vern tomorrow we'll leave make sure to get ready."
"Pertain hehe."
"If we succeed we may find territory for our new headquarters."
"That sounds great, may I form an idol or so later, this sweet Vern won't disappoint you."
"We can think about it later."
Both are just walking straight.
The next morning a train was reserved for the departure of the two. Adi has already said goodbye to Brietta and Melty should they be able to protect this city if a certain situation occurs.
Vern peered out the window with a big smile.
"Truly beautiful sir. Owh. I saw a lizard mating."
"Where do I want to see it too?" the voice was not from Adi but Edgar who was not expected to come too.
Adi squinted at him.
"What, something like that is interesting to look at."
"So why are you coming too?"
"I have something to talk to the king about, all of you."
It was in vain that Adi brought a letter of recommendation from him from the beginning. Vern, who had been very excited since departure, sat down next to Adi and lay down on his thigh while playing with his leg.
His short skirt was slightly down, displaying his beautiful times without showing his forbidden area.
Adi himself did not react with it even though Edgar was a little curious.
"What's your relationship with her, this sweet girl how do you know a grim guy like you?"
"Who are you saying grim," Adi replied smiling wryly.
"The journey is still long how about we play cards?"
"That sounds interesting, Vern likes the game."
"Is it true, lady, do you want to bet too?"
Adi paled, saying in his heart.
Oi, what are you doing? The person in front of you is a monster at gambling. Even Furniture and Elsa cried while challenging this person.
He is a man who should not be challenged in such a matter.
Vern placed his finger on the tip of his lip while tilting his head.
"Hmm, how's yah? Vern is still a rookie, can Vern win?"
"Don't worry lady, I'll teach you the basics."
"Vern will fight."
After the next few minutes, Edgar sat in the corner of the train with a blank look while regretting his actions.
He had just lost to the amount of 30 gold coins, it was not something small of course.
"Look at this, I got the money."
"Good, good, just use what you want in town?"
"Yeay, Cling."
Vern happily showed his idol pose. Arriving in the capital Edgar has recovered it took four days to reach the capital thanks to Adi the journey became safe and secure.
"Then I will leave you two, from here you can go straight to the academy, the principal will take care of everything."
Adi nodded while Vern waved his hand.
"We're leaving."
"Go ahead, this Vern will shake the cling academy."
