Chapter 234 (2/2)

「Didn’t know?」

「Nope The only thing we knew you by was your alias」

「Nn Named Fran」

「Then, aic Sword Girl?」

「Nn」

I was a bit confused as to why he bothered confir Fran’s old name and nickname

「I see… To be honest, not even I know exactly where Gallus has gone」

（Master?）

『He’s telling the truth』

Not even the Blacksmiths’ Guild’s boss knehere we could find Gallus

「I do at least have a bit of infor you, but only if you swear not to tell a soul It’s highly confidential」

「Nn Won’t tell」

「Good Last I heard, Gallus had taken on a top secret request from a noble」

「Top secret request?」

「Not even I know exactly what it entails All I knoas that it was so an influential noble personally asked hiainst it That’s it」

It looked like not even Gallus was capable of turning down important nobles If he did, the noble in question would probably end up causing trouble both for him and the Blacksmiths’ Guild as a whole

「Basically means abducted?」

「He definitely was being forced to do soainst his will, but it isn’t really as bad as you’reit out to be They at least put in an official request」

「Oh」

The Blacks, which meant the reason we hadn’t been able to find Gallus was because he got forced into doing so he couldn’t anyone about

「Truth is, he actually left you a letter, told ic Sword Girl I’d actually ht to me if you ever showed up, but…」

Fran’s new nickna Princess, had become much more widespread than her last Gallus hiain a new alias, and naturally, didn’t knohat that new alias could’ve been, so his letter was still addressed to the Magic Sword Girl The old naone so quickly that I alain filled ia

「Here it is I haven’t looked at it myself, so I’ve no idea what he’s written」

「Nn」

It see the truth

「Oh yeah, do me a favour and don’t read it here I’d be put in a bad spot if it otten froet any more involved in than I already am」

Apparently, even just carrying the letter was already so the Blacksmiths’ Guild’s boss considered to rather risky

「Okay」

And so, we took the letter, handed over the booze we brought, and went on our way

We had no way of knowing the letter’s contents, so we ended up deciding that it’d be best for us to find a place without anyone around before actually opening it up

『We’re going to have spend the night in town, so we ht as well just rent a room somewhere and read it there』

「Nn Got it」

Fran and I ended up deciding on a place right by the Adventurer’s Guild seeing as hoere going to have to head over to it the next day anyways

「Nn Nice room」

『Goes to show you get what you pay for』

The rooht, mostly because we’d picked the best room with a bath we could find

Though Fran herself had said that she’d be fine with a cheap room, I insisted otherwise, adotten a really awesome nickname I really wanted to let her act in a manner that befitted it
