The next day, the three met in front of a water fountain in the royal capital city, a local landmark, and walked through the bustling crowds. Having entrusted all the supplies she had either prepared the previous night or purchased in the city to Ernst, Nicola was physically unburdened. Of course, she was not relieved of her mental burden.

She was going to have to deal with a god this time. When practitioners in Nicola’s line of work in her past life were polled, such a task reliably occupied the number two ranking in the list of “Jobs I Want Nothing To Do With.” Gods were big trouble because they were unreasonable, quick to curse people, tough, and simply nuisances.

Incidentally, the number one spot went to jobs involving curses, but these were mainly avoided because they left a bad taste in one’s mouth. Gods were still overwhelmingly considered the more annoying class of assignments. Ultimately, they were just depressing.

However, Sieghart did not look so downcast as he walked by Nicola’s right side. Quite the contrary, he almost looked like he was enjoying himself while he held her hand.

“You look quite chipper today,” said Nicola in a scathing manner.

“Eh? Ah, well, now that I think about it, it’s been a long time since we’ve walked through town together like this, hasn’t it? From one point of view, this could be considered a weekend date.” As Sieghart turned to look at Nicola, an innocent smile broke across his gorgeous, marble-white teeth.

Nicola quickly shook her head before looking to the horizon after realizing she was once again in danger of being bewitched by Sieghart’s honeyed tone and open affection.

Just behind Nicola on her left, she heard Ernst mutter, “His Grace has quite eccentric tastes...”

To be sure, Nicola’s looks were very average and she could not boast about a plump pair of ripe fruits. She could wholeheartedly affirm the claim that Sieghart’s tastes were eccentric, but hearing this from an almost perfect stranger still irritated her.

Nicola turned back to look at Ernst and retorted, “If you will forgive me for saying so, I think your lord and master also has quite eccentric tastes.”

Though Alois did not fancy Nicola in the same way as Sieghart, the fact that he had taken such a keen interest in her marked him as a true eccentric.

Ernst seemed to try and muster a rebuttal of his own, but he fell silent after opening and closing his mouth a few times. His dejected expression did not suit his gallant features, and Nicola could not help but snort with laughter.

“By the way...” Nicola said. “After you all went to test your nerves at the ruins, what became of the main culprits, the morons who suggested it in the first place?”

“Hey now, you’re talking about the prince of another kingdom and his retinue...” said Sieghart, chiding Nicola softly before patting her on the head.

While frowning as he looked on next to Nicola, Ernst answered, “Prince Lucas must still think that this was just one of His Highness’s pranks.
