Later, during the opening hours of the White Wolf store.

I left the over-the-counter business to Garnett and spoke to Alexia, who was taking a break in the office and living room behind the store.

"Hey, Alexia."

"Yes? I hope you don't mind eating."

Alexia showed me a bare gesture of listening to me for now as I roamed the bread with ingredients that she brought in as lunch.

"You may be hearing rumors, but soon we're going to be challenging the third tier of The Ark of Elements."

"Heh... that rumor was true"

The presence of the Yang Dynamic Operation is concealed as far as possible because it does not divulge information to Agate Lamb, but the circumstances are different for the entry from the second to the third tier.

There is no denying that rumors can spread at the preparatory stage more than the second tier is the object of the general adventurer's exploration.

Rather, if you think about it, there was also the possibility that the information that Agate Lamb was trying to challenge the third tier from the path he grasped would be more advantageous to be known over there.

I would even say that it would be more effective to have a successful interception than if the intrusion from this path were only positive.

Therefore, those entering from the second tier did not have that much strict control over the information, and the naturally spreading rumors became a policy to leave it intact.

"Even around next week, I'm thinking of going on a field trip to the break-in route, but maybe we'll have to build a big deal of equipment, right? That's why I want someone to take a mechanic to see the crime scene and ask for their opinion."

"Hmm, that's why he wants me to introduce him to a mechanical engineer."

Alexia cheeked one piece of bread with ingredients into her mouth, chewed it thoroughly and poured it in with herbal tea before opening her mouth with the second in her hand.

"Shall I go then? I need you to fill in for the employees at the store."

"Are you sure? Aren't you busy working as a mechanical engineer?"

"If you say you're not busy, it's a lie, but our union isn't as top-dependent an organization as you, Luke. You can leave it to other members to do your daily work."

"... I think we should do something about it. The Knights have left a lot to Sofia."

Even though I laugh bitterly at the sudden allegations I accept them.

I often think it's only for the sake of throwing more different jobs at someone else, as I almost throw branches round to Natalia and the others, and I can be in a position to oversee them.

But it was easy to say, as the hard word suggests, to this day I was unable to grasp the trigger.

"It'll be convenient for this one later. Our members are mostly professional mechanical engineers, and I'm the only one who works with adventurers. Even though it's not that dangerous, I don't think it's going to be easy to get in the back of the dungeon."

"Oh... speaking of which, you did"

"The fact that we haven't found it before means we haven't even secured the route yet."

Alexia speaks naturally as the leader of the union of mechanical engineers, but it also appears to have a somewhat pleasant look.

It's not the same as smiling when you enjoy being a mechanical engineer and are happy to succeed.

But I know Alexia better than anyone else when she used to smile like this.

"That sounds kind of fun. Hey, can you look forward to a long time dungeon attack?

"Oh, I knew you'd understand?

Alexia affirms it all with a smile until stunning.

This guy is a rare guy who works both as an adventurer and a mechanical engineer, and he met me at a time when he was working as an adventurer away from his master.

"I started out trying to help with my job as a mechanical technician, whether it's a practical test of prototyped equipment or a survey of demand in the field. I really enjoyed exploring things, and I'm going to miss the wonders and the dungeons when the technology field work continues."

"Ha ha, I know somehow too"

Pull the chair across from Alexia and lower back.

"I couldn't forget the bitterness of wandering the labyrinth in the beginning, and I didn't even feel like diving into the dungeon, but I didn't even feel that way at some point... now I'm just diving, as a matter of course, in the work of the Knights"

"But you're not going back to being a professional adventurer."

"Exactly. The thing I'm carrying is too big to turn back now. At least until Sir Rembrandt admits it, or we take the Agate Ram and we don't need it anymore, we can't abandon our current position."

"Ugh. Welcome."

Alexia made a deliberately weird voice, with a strange look that suited her voice and fanned her face with patties and hands.

The reason I started working for the Knights Commander was to get Sir Rembrandt, my father, to acknowledge my relationship with Garnett.

He weighed old-fashioned values that tended to be treated outdated even among the nobles these days: marrying his children and the powerful to enhance the power of the clan, and he was unlikely to be able to make it change.

And Garnett was also Garnett, who needed the support of the Silver Wings Knights and Sir Rembrandt to avenge his mother, and was in a position not to refuse his father's request.

That's why I was determined to rise to Sir Rembrandt's satisfactory position by my own appearance as the Knights Commander.

"Looking back like this, you and I are very different back then, Luke."

"Oh. Needless to say, you were watching my master's complexion to come over here at first, too, and now you're a fine independent and union president of the technicians' union. I don't think he was kicked out of the inn in the explosion."

"Mmm... don't tell that to the union kids. 'Cause they'll definitely laugh."

"You're gonna find out someday if I didn't tell you. Isn't it dangerous around your master?

Alexia looked at herbal tea with a grudge on her face.

Though it was a short period of time, there is a soothing air that reminds me of when we were both working as adventurers.

"Hey! White Wolf's! Group visitors are coming! Come back here now!

Garnett's shouts flying from the store bring me and Alexia's mood back to the present at all costs.

I gazed at Alexia and laughed bitterly, telling her to rest until the break was over, and then I turned back to the store by myself.
