Rias lets Arthur fall asleep in her arms, lies down and puts Arthur's head on his thigh, allowing Arthur to rest. Rias felt that Arthur's struggle had been quite heavy, the world had undergone many changes due to enemy attacks from other worlds.
Arthur slowly opened his eyes. " Good morning, Mr. Arthur" said Rias as Arthur awoke from his sleep. Arthur changed his position to sit down, he asked Rias why she could fall asleep here, Rias smilingly replied that Arthur was exhausted from finishing the fight with Lavin.
The two of them walked out not to forget Rias brought the food she had stored last night during the banquet.
" Is this you who made it?" asked Arthur while looking at the food in his hand.
" yes, even though I only mix leftover food from the palace banquet last night" Rias replied as she watched Arthur eat it.
" you're Rias, right?." asked Arthur, he looked at Rias for quite a while. Arthur was still confused Rias grew up quickly from the start she never paid too much attention to it.
" yeah.." Rias is surprised Arthur doesn't know her anymore.
" no, I still don't believe it." Arthur tells, Rias' small body is now a very beautiful girl that makes Lavin jealous of Arthur.
Rias smiled, "as the soul force of our race increases in the age of children, our bodies will follow it. We are not human therefore we are called the mosnter race." Rias explained to Arthur.
" that's it." Arthur finally understood about the change in Rias' body, they both continued eating, Arthur was also able to feel the food he ate.
Rias called Arthur who was quietly staring at her meal, "there is a taste, good." said Arthur then continued eating.
" From now on, we often eat good food, huh?" said Rias.
" Mister Arthur let's fight." Rias pulled a hand Then they continued on their way.
***
In the town of Bertion a city of gunsmiths for the work force.
Two servants were dressing and tidying up a woman's clothes looking out the window, she was talking to a black-robed man wearing a mask covering the face outside the window.
" The king did such a deed" said the woman, she was a Queen.
" It seems all because of Nina's daughter" said the black-robed girl.
The queen asked Arthur how he was doing, and the black-robed girl explained that Arthur went to the slave market and bought a slave.
The queen was initially worried, but the news of being summoned by the four heroes by the Asion kingdom had even caused a stir in this country.
" The dispute that may occur between the countries must be resolved immediately." The queen got into a lot of trouble because it was only the kingdom of Asion, secretly forming four royal heroes.
" We will continue the surveillance in the kingdom" said the black-robed girl, she is the Queen's solemn army.
" I'm counting on you" said the Queen, then the black-robed girl left.
All the heroes gathered in the palace, they will be rewarded for carrying out their duties and protecting the country from the waves of otherworldly monster attacks.
The king gave a gift of 3000 silver each to William, Lavin and Philip. Arthur only received a small ration of 500 silver.
All the heroes receive a bag of silver given by the King's servants, when Arthur wants to take the King to ask Arthur to reimburse the slave seal removal fee, this time Arthur does not get paid.
Arthur who heard frowning, he looked at the Berdin King who was starting to be unfair to him.
" It was really unfair, in the duel of the two heroes yesterday there was cheating. Freeing a slave by force, wouldn't it be cruel if you didn't give him a wage ?."
Philip did not accept with the King's actions Arthur who did not give him the gift.
" It is true, if according to the rules, it is clear that Arthur won" said Wiliam who joined the talk.
" That's not true, lord William and lord Philip, in a one-on-one duel no one cheated." Nina defends Lavin.
" The act of using magic to attack Arthur is a violation."
" What also replaced the royal knight protecting the village was Arthur, at least the kingdom gave him wages for living expenses" Philip and William alternated.
Nina is upset to hear the two heroes say, she does not accept that Arthur gets a wage.
" I'll give him a small wage, then." The Berdin King let Arthur take 500 silver coins.
Arthur took it violently from the servant's hand, and King Berdin told Arthur not to show his face again.
Arthur who heard feeling humiliated, he wanted to come forward to the King Berdin who was sitting on a chair but Arthur's steps stopped Rias.
" Mister Arthur, we should be grateful. That way, we no longer need to waste time coming here." Rias made the Berdin King who heard become annoyed.
Arthur smiled, then he invited Rias to leave. Rias smiled happily as she followed Arthur from behind.
Rias invites Arthur to go to the slave seller's place, she wants to reassemble the slave seal.
Actually Arthur does not want Rias to reassemble the slave seal but Rias insists that she can regain Arthur's trust.
" The skinny, dry creature that I sold at that time turned out to be a valuable item like this, yes." Revil looked at Rias from toe to head.
" When I'm not a virgin, I appreciate 30 gold coins." Revil pointed three fingers at Arthur.
" I'm still a virgin!." shouted Rias who was upset with a reddened face.
Revil continued to raise the price to 50 gold coins. " It costs up to 50 gold coins, huh ?." Arthur scratched his head while thinking.
Rias yells to Arthur, she doesn't want to be sold. Arthur just laughed at Rias who was upset.
Arthur stopped at the shop selling magic medicine, he walked in to buy wound healing medicine for Rias.
" My relatives in the village were saved, thanks to the protection of Mr. Arthur" the shopkeeper said, recognizing Arthur.
Arthur did not recognize the person in front of him, he was still trying to remember.
Rias whispered into Arthur's ear, "maybe one of the people we helped back then ?."
" I don't know." Arthur was lazy to remember again.
The store owner gave Arthur a book, in which he wrote how to concoct a high-quality potion that can be made.
" I give it as a gift, please wear it." The store owner gave the book how to concoct magic potions, he also reminded Arthur to visit the seller's grandmother in the magic tool shop.
