Feli—full name Felix Ernert. He played the scout role in the Hero’s party. According to the game, he was fourteen years old, but his skills were first-rate. There were some dungeons that were so full of traps that having him in your party was basically mandatory.

Though his appearance was on the cuter side, he was definitely a boy. Had the game been made twenty years later, the devs probably would have made him a girl.

Trivia: his design was totally inspired by the flying boy from a certain famous American animated film that I watched as a kid.

Those thoughts ran through my mind as I once more took a seat at one of the Adventurers’ Guild tables—this time with Feli. On the table were some dried fruits, nuts, and juice (though I would’ve been fine with alcohol) that I’d ordered and paid for. I still had things to do, but I figured there was no downside to making a connection.

“I’m impressed that you recognized my face.”

“Viscounts are celebrities, yep,” replied Feli, his feet swaying as he spoke. He was so short that his feet didn’t quite reach the floor when he sat on an adult-sized chair.

“So what were you up to, Mister Viscount?”

“Shopping, basically,” I said, before rehashing the superficial explanations for my venture that I’d given Mister Bierstedt. Putting all talk about the Demon Lord aside, I knew that Feli was bound to look into the whole matter of collecting equipment, so I didn’t see the need to hide it.

“Oho? You’re scooping up equipment from those towns?”

“‘Scooping up’ is not the best way of putting it.”

“Panic buying, then.”

“That’s even more wrong.”

I had no idea how serious he was. Feri was just that kind of person—a jokester, but you couldn’t bring yourself to dislike him. He was good at closing the distance between himself and others.

He was also good at doing it in a more literal sense, although I doubted he’d try picking my pocket in this situation. If he tried it in the Adventurers’ Guild, he’d probably get chased out. But there were occasions where his pickpocketing came in handy. When I thought about it, his ability to swipe key items was pretty novel at the time.

“That sounds like fun. I might wanna come along?”

“Why are you saying that like it’s a question?”

“It sounds fun going to faraway towns, but I don’t know if I wanna go all that distance just for that.”

Well, yeah. Why would he when he didn’t know about the Demon Lord’s revival?

Okay, I had to think. What was the best way to use a valuable pawn like Feli? True, I did need people who could quietly support my intel-gathering work in the capital. Feli seemed like a good fit for that.

On the other hand, I could also make him accompany the merchants to learn the geography and locations. This would make him more useful to Mazel when he joined the party. Though they could only be used once, Skywalk boots could teleport you to a place you’ve already been.
