Chapter 539: No More Than Two in a Single Day After a flurry of music, every piece I had planned to play was finally completed. I flicked the switch on the phonograph, stopping the recording function. All that remained was to secure it in place, and the task would be done. To ensure I could […]
Chapter 538: A Small, Intimate Concert When I came out of the bath, Lionel drifted closer as if he had been waiting for that exact moment. Then he spoke—words so shocking that my mind blanked for a heartbeat. It was so sudden, so absurd, that I reflexively assumed it had to be a joke and
Chapter 537: Actively on the Move It seemed that Erwin-sama had noticed how our once-pleasant dinner was gradually sinking into a somber mood. From that point on, he began telling us stories from the days when he roamed across the Raven Kingdom as a lone knight. They were tales of true misadventure. He spoke of
Chapter 536: Knowing When to Let Go Is the Key to Everything Before the meal could cool, I decided to begin at once. Offering a quiet prayer to the goddess, I lifted my spoon and started with the golden-hued soup that looked so inviting it almost glowed. Yes—there was no doubt about it. It was

Chapter 534: Why Are You Here To make earplugs that would fit everyone’s ears just right, we prepared as many different sizes as possible.

Chapter 533: High-Grade Earplugs “Fabienne, I need you to return to the compounding room and make some beginner-grade stamina recovery potions. While you’re doing that, I’ll head to the magic tool workshop and make some earplugs. Lionel, I’m counting on you to look after Fabienne.” “Understood,” she replied. “Leave it to me,” Lionel said.

Chapter 532: Shattering the Magic Stones Guided by Lionel, we moved deeper into the lodgings. The rooms here seemed designed to accommodate several people at once. Judging by the spacing between the doors, each room was reasonably spacious. There was no unpleasant smell—everything was spotlessly clean. I was relieved. At least Fabienne wouldn’t have to
Chapter 531: The Purification Powder I clapped my hands sharply, the sound echoing through the alchemy room. The potion masters who had been working there immediately turned to face me. If this awkward tension was ever going to be broken, I knew I had to take control. Wow… looking closely, everyone really does have quite
Chapter 530: Forbidden Words The servants brought out tea and cake. Fabienne and I gratefully accepted the offering, savoring the warmth and sweetness. Nero, as usual, seemed more focused on practical matters, already questioning the servants about where things were kept. Since I had brought a kettle, I could boil water at any time, and
