As Alpheas approached with his lips sticking out, Erina pulled herself out like a bridesmaid and said.

�I need to eat.�Come quickly.�

�Oh sorry.�Klump is throwing a party so I think we should go.�I will eat rice later.�

�Oh yeah.�

Erina couldn�t hide her sadness this time either.�Then her alpheas laughed at her mischievously and lifted her up.�

�That�s why you say you have to save time to eat.�

�Kyaaak!�

Alpheas strode up the stairs to the second floor while holding Erina in his arms.

�Wait!�I�m going to burn the bread with this.�

�Tell me to ride!�Otherwise I will burn!�

After Alpheas won the award, dozens of invitations flew in every single day.�All of them were sent by nobles or organizations that were said to be the best.�To get along with everyone is to get along with nobody.�His reputation quickly spread thanks to his ransom while refusing any connections other than necessary.�As part of that strategy, Alpheas left home today to attend a dinner invited by the Alchemy Foundation.�It was an institution responsible for 40 percent of the volume of magic materials transported, so it was a position that could not be left out.

But Sarov and his friends, unaware of this fact, were camped out in front of Alfeas� house before the sun went down.�Their mood as they waited for the evening to come was impatient.

Sarov sighed.

�Haa, that hurts your pride.�

�Do you have a problem with your ego?�Even if the value went up, it went up too much.�Speaking of Alpheas.�He wasn�t just a man who was good at magic.�He should have predicted it in advance.�

Sarov was also full of regret.�When he won the Gold Circle award, he had to somehow blend in with the crowd and clear up the sediment.�It had only been a month since he received the award, but Alfeas� reputation had risen to the point of being terrified.�All of this was due to his outstanding political skills.�Now, as Alpheas also covers people, the gap that Sarov could squeeze into had to become even narrower.

�Oh shit.�I didn�t want to lower my head, but it made me kneel down.�Why doesn�t this happen?�

It was a question that could not be answered no matter how much I thought about it.�It was comforting that there were friends who were with me, so the embarrassment would be a little less.

�Go in slowly.�I will speak.�

Sarov took the lead and knocked on the door of Alpheas� house.

�Is there Alpheas?�I am Sarov.�

The person who opened the door was unexpectedly Erina.

�who are you?�

�Oh, your wife is there.�I don�t know if you remember, but I�m Sarov, a classmate of Alfeas.�Are you at Alfeas� house?�

�no.�Her husband is out.�It�s the Alchemy Foundation.�

I knew that there was a dinner party at the Alchemy Foundation.�But since it�s not a drinking party, it won�t take long.�Sarov said politely, thinking that it was better.

�okay.�If you don�t mind, may I go in and wait?�Because people are paying attention����.�

It was embarrassing to have come all the way to the house, but it was clear that I would get caught up in gossip if I snooped in front of the door.

�Yes, come in.�

Sarov sat in the living room with his friends and rubbed his hands nervously.�It seemed pitiful to see them, but Erina invited them to the table and served them snacks and drinks. JrNovels.com
