BXBX NOVEL Chapter 446
At today’s banquet, all the attendees were heads representing each family. Unlike the nobles who are busy reveling, they are really busy.
‘Actually, people started to fall for me after about two hours.’
Most of them, compelled by tradition to attend, stayed at the banquet just long enough to avoid being caught, and then left the palace without regret.
Of course, since it was a gathering of all the heads of households who were hard to see, many of them actively engaged in social activities using this banquet as an opportunity. Well, even at sunset, everyone said they were tired and left.
‘Is this why you change like a child when you get old?’
Not even children in a new country with some sort of curfew.
less so less so
As I was watching the royal palace riding away from the carriage, thoughts crossed my mind.
Starting from the miscellaneous thoughts that it would be comfortable to have a house in the ecliptic, to my future in the future.
‘In the end, I couldn’t have a proper conversation with the Marquis.’
Unfortunately, one of the quests for this banquet, ‘Seeing the Marquis’, failed.
I said hello first and went to sit at the table, but there were too many people around. It seems that the other side doesn’t particularly want to bite people either.
In the end, I just had to say hello and come back.
That’s the part I can’t help but regret.
‘Actually, it doesn’t matter much what the Marquis thinks now, but…’
The important thing in the future is balance.
Regardless of the Marquis’ intentions towards me, if I grow bigger, the Marquis won’t be able to touch me hastily.
So, you have to get on the line as best you can.
Even though it’s big enough to not be easily touched, it doesn’t feel threatening enough to pull out a knife with determination.
‘Anyway, it went well with Melves…….’
Afterwards, we decided to set up a day to gather together separately, but for now, there is no problem.
However, I’m still not sure what will happen to Ragnar, who contacted me through a note. In fact, if the story goes well
, I think he can play the role of a joker in the confrontation with the Marquis later on…
“Haa…….”
.
If I had continued to be a librarian, it would have been enough to have a pleasant reunion.
‘Why do you have to be the daughter of a marquise…’
Even Hyun-byeol is involved in this relationship, so the more I think about it, the more my head explodes.
‘……Yes, I’ll understand when I meet him.’
After a deep sleep, I arrived at the military platform before long, took a teleport and went over to Labigion in an instant, then changed wagons and headed home.
“Are you here early?”
“It ended earlier than expected. What about Erwen?”
“He came in a while ago and is washing up now.”
Oh then I’ll be able to see you today after a long time.
I went upstairs, washed my body, changed my clothes, and came down to the living room to find Amelia and Erwen sitting on the sofa and talking.
But somehow, the two seem closer than I thought.
Well, thanks to the shared joys and sorrows of Ice Rock—
“Mister!!”
Soon after, Erwen found me and jumped up and rushed at me, and I reached out to stop him.
“Erwen I am not an uncle.”
“……to?”
Erwen puts on an expression like a cheating doll at my words.
“I am Bjorn Yandel ‘Baron’!”
As soon as the words continued, Erwen let out an awkward exclamation.
“Ah…….”
Shame on the barbarian.
don’t accept this
If it was Ainar, they would have shouted and rejoiced together.
“Don’t talk nonsense, Bjorn. Sit down.”
“…I get it.”
After that, as I sat down on the sofa sullenly, the family meeting began immediately. There were many agendas as it had been held for a long time, but Erwen was the first to be mentioned.
“…Fortunately, it worked out. First of all, I returned the Shinmok-gung again, and the money I borrowed when I bought this house…… I decided to return it within a month.”
Erwen who said that seemed like someone who committed a crime somewhere. So when I asked why he said that, he said that he was sorry for not being able to protect the house with precious memories…
“Okay, why are you sorry for that?”
In the first place, I don’t understand more that the fairies let go of Erwen with just this.
Because there is only one pureblood in an era.
In the worst case, he thought, he might even claim his life.
‘Actually, it’s not an exaggeration to say that this is the best of the best…….’
I wondered why things were going so well, so when I asked about this, Erwen explained the reason.
“My uncle helped me when I was fighting the elders. I think that played a big role.”
My uncle…
Come to think of it, my uncle was a person with the status of a hero among the fairies.
I would like to meet this person sometime.
“Anyway, a month is pretty tight.”
After Erwen’s recent report, Amelia mentioned a practical problem.
“I’ll have to sell this house to get the money, and then I’ll have to buy a new house to live in.”
“…Why don’t we buy it again? I think it’s possible if we sell the loot we got this time…….” ”
Well, what do you think of Bjorn?”
“Um…”
I thought for a moment before giving my opinion.
“I think it would be better to live in an inn for the time being.
“……Is that so. As
expected……” Erwen seemed unwilling to sell this house, but he did not object to my words.
I could be honest in a place like this.
“Don’t worry too much. Both the house you live in now and the house you will live in later are all just places to stay for a while.”
Afterward, Erwen’s expression brightened noticeably when he mentioned that Melves had agreed to support the cost of purchasing the land and building the mansion.
“Then, the Baron Yandel will really be born…!”
“Yes, so when designing later, if you need anything, tell me everything.”
“……?”
“Because it’s also the house where you will live in the future.”
“……!!!!”
Looking at Erwen’s expression, fortunately, it seemed that the regret of selling the house he was living in had completely disappeared.
“Of course you, Amelia.”
Amelia also mentioned it, wondering if she felt sad, and for some reason Amelia looked at me and sighed deeply.
Oh, by the way, I did say what I wanted.
“…I wish our navigator’s room would be a little bigger than it is now. There’s also a window that lets in sunlight.”
It seems that the navigator has been very depressed lately.
Would you feel better if you got some sea breeze?
***
“Enough with the housing issue… how are you going to explore the labyrinth?”
As soon as the house issue was settled, Amelia brought it up.
That’s right, our party is currently incomplete.
Einar Erwen Amelia, me and our navigator.
There is one spot left until the full party of 6 is filled.
The problem is that there is no one who can put it right now.
Someday, I plan to have all of my fellow expedition members join my clan, but I’m careful because I think that moving too quickly will get me into trouble.
At least, if I recruited them right away, Lavien or the wizard Versil Gowland would be fine, but…
‘Versil said that it would take a month to finalize the friendship with the church, and Lavien said that woman He said he was going to take a break from exploration for the time being…’
No matter what, there’s an empty spot.
It’s such a pity that it’s just a month to rest.
Soon I made a decision.
“I think it’s better if we just go in on our own this time.”
“Five together?”
“It’s not particularly strange. A few years ago, five people were normal.”
“That’s… that’s right.”
“I’m not going up to the 7th floor and will only be active on the 6th floor, so there won’t be anything too dangerous.”
“It’s the 6th floor… I get it. I’ll let Lockrove know that too.”
So, this is the end of the labyrinth exploration.
After that, we had a simple dinner and chatted, then went to sleep.
and the next morning.
Everyone went to the guild branch and finished registering clan members.
“Heh… Thank you, mister.”
I would like to say thank you to Amelia next to me…
I get another copy of the same document issued, and seeing her cherishing it, my conscience hurts somewhere.
‘After all, I have to fill the vice-captain position.’
At the time of the clan’s creation, Amelia seemed to be the perfect fit, so I tried to get lucky, but was rejected at once.
Are you saying you don’t want people to pay attention to you?
Well, first of all, the name ‘Emily Rains’ she is using is a pseudonym.
‘Then, who should be the vice-captain…’
His worries deepened.
That’s why the vice-captain position is a position that must be filled.
This is especially true in that administrative procedures that require the authority of the head of department can be performed on behalf of the head of staff if only the power of attorney is registered in advance.
‘…Raven was the perfect vice-captain. Even troublesome things are meticulously handled.’
After registering as a member of the clan, we had a simple meal at a nearby restaurant.
“Bjorn then, are you going to Commelby now?”
“No, stop by the temple first.”
“…Temple?”
It took a while for Amelia to mutter and tilt her head, but Amelia quickly understood the situation.
“You’re trying to erase Gachabon’s essence.”
“Because I don’t have to hide anymore.”
That’s what I said, but in fact, I’ve been thinking about this problem to this day.
It was because the essence of Gachabon was also a pretty good essence.
I wondered if it would be better to just keep it until I farm the next essence in earnest.
But…
“There must be another reason.”
“Well, didn’t Einar and Abman return the equipment you used before? You can use it as long as you return to your original body shape, but not using it is a waste. Besides, a better essence may come out during the exploration of the 6th floor. One day, the lack of I have to stop by once, but it’s a bit like going with this body, right?”
“Hmm…?”
After hearing my answer, Amelia let out a strange snort while Erwen expressed regret.
“uh… Then will it grow back to the way it used to…?”
“Yes.”
“I’m still fine…”
It’s an aesthetic sense that I can’t understand at all.
What on
earth do you like about a slim body like this? Oma.”
After arriving at the temple, I went in alone and went through the process of removing the essence.
「The [Gachabon essence] that permeated the character’s soul has been removed.」
「Sixth sense decreases by -40.」
「Physical resistance – Decreases by 15.”
「Dark resistance decreases by -30.」
「Accuracy rate decreases by -45……」
Decreasing stats.
「Bone density decreases by -110.」 「Bone density
decreases by
-110.」 It rises.”
Anyway, it seems that my mind has become more clear.
「
My luck has increased by +50.」
The most important thing, my luck, must have improved a little
. I checked the reflected body.
‘Finally, I’m back to my original body.’
It’s new, but I’m really big.
I felt like shouting the name of ancestors, but I endured it with superhuman control.
For now, this is a temple.

The reactions of the two who saw me coming out of the temple were sharply divided
. This one is cool too! It’s just like the day we first met!”
Erwen, who had expressed regret, praised him as if he had been like that. “…
Certainly, the past is better .”
With a strange muttering, “But… In some ways
,
this might be better.”
“Huh? What do you mean by that?”
“It means you’d rather be ugly.”
“I’m not ugly,
I
‘m a manly man?
” ‘.
The word came to my throat, but I barely endured it.
First of all, isn’t it a precious colleague?
Besides, he really didn’t have any home training. As a clan leader, I have to
endure cancer.
If it hadn’t come back, it might have been dangerous.’
Anyway, we headed to Commelby as planned.
That’s right, not all of our expedition members live in District 7.
We decided to meet at Commelby, the heart of the city. ”
Here it is.”
I can see the faces inside
and out. Baroness Yandel…… No, should I call him a baron now?”
Meland Kaislan.
“…Oh, you’ve changed your appearance?”
Lilith Marone James Carla Sven Farab,
etc The members who came back from the rock together are curious about my changed appearance and gather together
. What about Akurava and Lavien?”
“They said they couldn’t come for some reason.” ”
Still, everyone else attended.” ”
Because everyone must have been curious.”
”
How’s the surroundings?”
“Don’t worry about surveillance. I deliberately chose a place with no windows, and the voice control magic is working. Just in case you don’t know, even detecting magic power is running in real time.”
……It’s definitely because he’s a wizard, so he’s good at his job.
I’ll have to implicitly ask him if he’s thinking of vice-captain when he joins the clan later.
“Baron Yandel!
” Call me Captain.”
After a long time reunion, we spent time freely talking about our current situation.
Then, naturally, that time came.
“Hey… but when are you doing that?
” Opening Ceremony
“When I opened it, there was nothing but the backpacks we put in, so I thought it was just that.”
In fact, I did too.
But a while ago, I found out that wasn’t
the case. By the way ,
this was the discovery of the wizard Versil…
“Now, come one at a time. I’ve made plenty of reagents.”
I’m still a bit nervous about adjusting the formula. “Really… what
will be
in it?
” Have you ever opened it? I didn’t even think to open it because I was afraid there might be surveillance nearby.”
What the hell was he trying to hide even with double security?
I don’t know.
So I erased the gachabon essence that can be erased later today in advance.
” So… Now that it’s all over…?”
“Now, let’s open it!”
I hope you have some luck today.
