Turan was the name of the domain in the northern part of Genos that Cyclaeus ruled over.

From what I heard, there were orchards there that were more valuable than the plantations to the south, so a wooden fence had been built around them to protect against giba, and on top of that the people there were worked like slaves to increase profits.

Maybe it was just my own preconceptions, but I figured more pretentious folks lived there than in the post town or plantations, and that they tended to live in luxury while leaving all the hard labor for their slaves.

However, this Mikel man was dressed even filthier than folks around the post town, and on top of that he was drunk in the middle of the day.

It wasn’t like he had all that seedy of a look about him. It was just that his vests and pants were strangely blackened, and he smelled like something burnt. Did he do some sort of work involving flames?

As for his age, he looked to be just under 50. While he had a pretty solid frame for a westerner, his face and arms were unusually bony. It made him look a little out of proportion overall, like he had a sturdy skeleton but little in the way of muscles.

There was some white mixed into his unkempt hair, his eyes were a dark brown, and his skin was quite tanned. He had a finely chiseled face, though his age was definitely starting to show in it.

However, that face was dyed red from drinking, and his eyes were bloodshot. He was half-collapsed on the wooden table, and a bottle of fruit wine dangled from his left hand as he glared at us. It was like he was the word “slovenly” personified.

“Hmph... Looks like I wasted my time coming here,” Mikel grumbled in a hoarse voice, taking a gulp of his wine. “Well, I’ve only got one thing to say regardless. Don’t go anywhere near Cyclaeus. Defying nobles will only lead you to ruin... Anyway, I’m off,” he added, swaying as he rose unsteadily to his feet.

“Ah, please hold on a moment,” I hurriedly yelled out. “You came to see me because of Shumiral, right? I’m certainly grateful for that, but I really don’t understand what’s going on.”

“There’s no need for you to get it. I’ve already done enough to pay my debt to that guy from Sym... So move it, kid.”

Now that he was standing, I finally realized that he was taller than me. Thanks to his drinking, though, he looked unsteady on his feet. In fact, if I just gave him a little nudge, he’d probably fall right over.

Even so, Ai Fa remained cautious, her hand on her blade’s grip as she carefully observed the man.

“At any rate, it’s not like Cyclaeus will be paying attention to a brat like you anyway... I don’t care if it’s giba or giiz cooking or whatever, just go ahead and keep on earning your coins like you have been.
