Chapter 62 (2/2)

“It's not thatpraised as a store one around the popular stores in Orn, so he humbled himself since he just used them as reference

(I kneasn't a common person… but I didn't expect this much…)

Yamato's own evaluation of Lacq rose as he observed the insides of the store

It had been a fewlast year's autumn, he stumbled upon Lacq in the bazaar of the trade city of Orn

A free-spirited person without a proper job, who always spoke in a frivolous tone

However, it was thanks to hiot to speak with the representative of this city, Isis, and coupled with the information he possessed, for Yamato he was a man whose true worth couldn't be measured

Furthermore, he had saved a kid froic sith unwavering agility

Yet, he had called himself as a person with 『no combat ability』, truly a mysterious man

Nevertheless, Yamato decided not to pry deeper into his past

After all, “Everybody had secrets they didn't want others to know”

So, as long as the person himself didn't explain it, Yamato decided to just let it be

“By the way, how have things been going? ”

Yamato asked Lacq about the state of affairs and situation surrounding Orn

In the central plains of the continents was the trade city Orn, sandwiched between the two major powers of the east and west

To the east was the Hisan Ee country, the “Rodom”, of which Lacq just spoke about

“Rodom, huh? And what is their aim? ”

“About that, I'm not quite sure yet When I do, I'll let you know”

The inforuessed he would be able to get hands on that information later since he had said “yet”

“I see”

For now, the east and west showed no urgentthat would last

“Yairl's beautiful voice resounded in the back alley

Descending froirl hurried towards the time no see, Yaht Guard, Lienhardt, and the Consul Regent, Isis

She explained that she received a report stating Yamato's arrival from Lacq

“It's been a while, Yalooirl, Isis, behaved the same as the last time he saw her

But Yamato didn't miss the shadow casted behind her eyes

“As expected… you noticed, Ya, and I wanted to consult with you…”

Opening her mouth, Isis then revealed a problem that loomed upon the city of Orn
