"Thank you for your hard work.”
With her resolute answer and confident pace, it was hard to believe that she was the same person as the depressed girl who was in Agil's house an hour ago. following Angela from behind, I passed the two guards and entered the tower with her.
Like the other buildings in Grandum, the tower is also made of black iron. The first floor consisted of a large lobby, but there was no one in it now. Thinking that the building was colder than the road outside, we stepped through the mosaic floor, carefully crafted from various metals, and reached a spiral staircase.
We climbed the stairs; our footsteps echoed along the hallway. The stairs are soaring, people with low vitality status will definitely give up in the middle of the road. After going through so many doors, I started to worry about how much further we had to go. Then Angela suddenly stopped in front of a cold iron door.
“This..?”
“Yes…"
Angela nodded with a doubtful expression on her face. But it seems like he soon reached a decision. He raised his right hand, knocked on the door hard, and opened it without waiting for an answer.
I blinked my eyes as a bright light came out of the room. Inside is a large room that covers the area of one floor of this tower. The walls on all four sides are made of transparent glass. The light filtered by him colored the room in monotonous gray.
A semi-circular table stood in the middle of the room; five men sat on chairs behind him. I never saw the four people on the side, but I know the one in the middle.
He is the Paladin Heathcliff. He doesn't look so impressive. He's about 25 years old. His face was sharp like that of a scholar, and a strand of his gray hair was sticking out on his forehead.
The bright red robes adorning her tall and slim body made her look more like a mage that did not exist in this world compared to a swordsman.
But the most striking thing about his face was his eyes. His mysterious yellow-coloured eyes emitted a powerful aura capable of suppressing people. It's not the first time I've met him; but to be honest, I still feel intimidated.
Angela walked up to the table, the sound of footsteps from her shoes echoed, and she gave a light salute. “I came to say goodbye for a while.”
Heathcliff showed a bitter smile and said: “No need to rush. First of all let me talk to him first.”
He looked at me when he said that. I pulled my headgear and stood next to Angela. "Is this the first time I've met you outside of a battle against a boss, Damar?”
“No...we have been talking for some time during the meeting strategizing on the 67.” floor I answered him in a formal tone without even realizing it.
Heathcliff nodded slightly and clapped his hands on the table together. “It was a tough fight. We almost got some losses inside the guild. Even if they call us the greatest guild, we always lack people. Even so now you are trying to take one of our greatest valuable players.”
“If he is so valuable, how about thinking more about selecting his bodyguard?”
The man sitting on the far right stood up to hear my sharp jawban, his expression changing. But Heathcliff stopped him just by swinging his hand.
“I told Cradil to go back to his house and reflect on his mistake. I must apologize for this matter, for bothering you. But, we can't stand by and let you take
our vice-chairman just like that. Damar-”
“If you want to take him—win him with your sword, with «Dual Blades». If you fight with me and win, then Angela can go with you. But if you lose, then you must join the Old Virgin Ballad guild (old virgin ballad guild).”
I finally felt that I could understand a little about this mysterious man. He was a person obsessed with sword duels. Moreover, He had an unshakable confidence in his own abilities.
He was a person who could not dispose of his pride as a gamer despite being trapped in this death game. In other words, he's just like me.
After hearing Heathcliff's words, Angela, who had been silent since earlier, opened her mouth and spoke like she couldn't help it anymore. “Chairman, I didn't say that I wanted to quit the guild. I just want to go out for a while, to take a break and think about some things.”.
I put my hand on Angela's shoulder, whose words had become increasingly irritated, and took one step forward. I faced Heathcliff's gaze directly, and my mouth moved by itself.
“Alright, if you want to talk through the sword, then I don't mind. We will determine this with a duel.”
“Auu-!!! Stupidfool!!!” We went back to Algade, on the second floor of Agil's shop. After driving the curious shopkeeper back to the first floor, I tried to calm Angela down.
“I tried so hard to convince her, even so you said such a thing!!!”
Angela sat on the spot to rest her hands from the stone chair I was sitting on, and used her clenched hands to grind my head.
“Sorry! I-i'm sorry! I just go with the flow and…"
She finally calmed down after I clasped her hand gently; but now she was pouting. I had to refrain from laughing at the huge difference between his behavior at headquarters and his behavior now.
“Take it easy. We have decided to use the first attack rule, so there is no danger involved. Besides, that doesn't mean I'll lose.”.
“Uu~~~~..” Angela makes an angry voice and crosses her long, slender legs over the resting place.
“...When I saw your «Dual Blades», I thought that your skill was on a very different level. But it's the same as the chairman's «Holy Sword». To be honest, I don't know who will win... But what are you gonna do? If you lose, it doesn't matter if I can't take time off, but you have to join BPT, Damar.”
“Well you can say that I can still reach my destination, depending on how you think about it.”
“Eh? Why?” I had to open my mouth to answer.
“Err, well, as long as Angela is with me, I have no problem joining the guild.”.
In the past, I would never say something like this. Angela's eyes became wide in shock, and her face flushed red as a ripe apple. Then, for some reason, he fell silent, got up from the armrest, and walked to the window.
From behind Angela's shoulders, I could hear the sound of Algade under the sunset being heard every day.
seriated.
