It is cold, but not so cold to make it snow.

Maybe 6-7 degrees.

I also made plans for me to ride along for shiphandling training.

Just to be safe, I will be the only one on board.

I was thinking that in case of a worst-case accident, I would be the only one to be rescued.

Mil and Kiara reluctantly agreed to this logic.

I also decided to spend the vacation day with Kiara as a follow-up to the painful report she had given me.

I am not the only man in this world, though.

For some reason, even Mil is on Kiara’s side in this matter.

In other words, there must have been some kind of serious agreement.

My mind is more occupied with dealing with the demons.

So today, Kiara and I are walking around the town aimlessly.

It’s not an inspection tour, so we are just walking around looking at random places.

Thanks to the Floquet Chamber of Commerce …… things are circulating to some extent.

But public facilities are still lacking.

At the very least, public bathhouses are available.

There are few places to play, but looking at Kiara, she seems to be in a good mood just by being with me.

I’m glad she’s in a good mood.

On the way, we take a break and have lunch.

“Kiara, you were talking with Mil about tea, do you think you can grow good tea leaves?”

“Thanks to the elves’ visit, I think we are on track. It would be nice if we could make it Ravenna’s specialty.”

I would like to have some kind of regular specialty.

“The quality of vodka is good, and I think we can make good wine. It’s all drinks.”

Kiara has a slightly nasty look.

“There’s a wild boar dish.”

Even though I deliberately didn’t mention it ……

“Y-You’re right …… As for specialties, we can increase them gradually.”

Kiara saw my reluctance and gave a small smile.

“When each race makes the most of their characteristics, they can do so much more.. I’m honestly surprised.”

“The world has been so indifferent to such things until now.”

In the end …… it is all about political affairs.

I used to make fun of workaholics before I reincarnated, but I’ve become a workaholic.

I guess it’s karma.

When I finished my meal and went outside, an unexpected disaster was right in front of me.

Why is the Escorter Silvana here?

When the Escorter Silvana saw me, she rushed to me with great vigor.

“I finally found you! Give me permission! Permission!”

I guess the dungeon’s a hit.

“You have to have the branch manager come. It has to be an official contract.”

The Escorter Silvana puffed her chest out.

“It’s okay. I’ve already brought in the branch manager. I threatened to have him fired from the guild if he didn’t show up.”

“Ms. Silvana, were you really that important?”

“How is that possible? If Al gets mad and complains to the Adventurers’ Guild that he can’t negotiate, that’s what happens.”

I thought I would make better use of it than a complaint.

The idea was to stretch it out in a sloppy manner.

""

All of that got busted, though.

I didn’t have time to get too involved, so I left it alone.

I knew that would not work out the way I wanted it to.

“Then tomorrow, I’d like him to report to the temporary building.”

The Escorter Silvana has a displeased look on her face.

“Today is fin- ……”

The Escorter Silvana was suddenly speechless.

Before she knew it, Kiara was standing right behind the Escorter Silvana.

“Ms. Silvana. Brother is on vacation for a long time. Is your business so urgent that you must interrupt it?”

Unusually, the face of the Escorter Silvana is stiff.

It seems that her adventurer’s instincts have sensed the danger.

“I-I, I get it …… We’ll do it tomorrow …… can’t you pull back that killing intent?”

The Escorter Silvana was breaking out in a cold sweat.

Kiara smiled coldly for a moment, but then immediately smiled at me.

As it was, she took my hand and started walking away.

It must be serious because the adventurer went stiff.

Am I perhaps born into a family of assassins?

She might have sensed my question, Kiara turned her angelic smile on me.

“Brother. An assassin is disqualified if he shows his killing intent. That makes you just a murderer. A conspicuous assassin is useless. Killing intent is only useful when threatening or negotiating.”

So you grew up in that kind of house in your previous life.

I scratch my head with my free hand.

“It certainly makes sense. But …… I didn’t expect that Ms. Silvana to stiffen up. And I didn’t even notice that you went behind her back without being noticed.”

At my impressed look, Kiara held up a finger and looked like a teacher.

She seemed to be happy to teach me something.

“It’s an effective way to scare people. And some people feel the killing intent differently than others. Adventurers are very sensitive to the vitals and where they can be stopped.”

I better not piss her off badly.

“All I know is that Kiara was scary.”

Kiara’s cheeks puffed out at my words.

“That’s rude. I would never do such a thing to my brother. Besides, it’s pointless to use killing intent on you.”

“Pointless?”

We’re walking while having a conversation, but the content is very dangerous.

Kiara sighs a little.

“Yes, killing intent only works on people who never want to die. Do you think it makes sense to send it to an old man on the verge of death? I think brother has little attachment to life. It’s like if someone told you you’re going to die tomorrow …… you would just smile.”

“I’m not suicidal, you know.”

“That’s not it. You seem to be objective about your own life and death. You seem to be very concerned about the lives and deaths of others. I think it’s usually the other way around.”

Hmmm …… I don’t think I’m that objective.

The reason I was reincarnated in the first place was because I suddenly died.

I don’t care if I cry or not, all I know is that when I die, I die.

It’s only because I’m dead …… that I’m thinking about it.

That doesn’t mean I’m planning to die, though.

“You think too much.”

At my words, Kiara, unusually, only gave me a vague look.
