Mar Le then reminded goova of the rule stating that a party should have four members and all members needed to be strong bandana suggested getting rid of the extra baggage that couldn't keep up Kurt begged goova not to remove him from the party however goova simply responded with a punch and that was how Kurt was kicked out of the hero's party a typical story Kurt blacked out and soon found himself alone he traveled on his own with little money left he returned to Samra City to save some money he thought about joining another party but

still hoped that gnova would invite him back then he noticed an employment agency and didn't hesitate to go inside Kurt was surprised by the cheerful employees greeting he explained that he was looking for work and the girl offered to guide him through an interview and an aptitude test he introduced himself as Kurt lock Hans stating that he was currently 15 years old and from hudo Village a quiet Village in the mountains the employee asked what Kurt had been doing up to that point and he shared that he had worked as a baggage carrier and was

considered a burden by the dragon fangs of flame the employee was surprised to learn that Kurt had been part of an SS ranked party Kurt clarified that he had been fired from the group the employee assured him that it was still an impressive background and suggested proceeding with the aptitude test she asked if Kurt had ever taken one before but he confirmed that he had not the employee explained that aptitude was a talent granted by God and one's power depended on their aptitude rank she expressed hope that they could discover Kurt's hidden talent this time

after the aptitude test it was revealed that Kurt had the worst aptitude in all combat related skills he cried but the employees reassured assured him that there were still non-combat professions available however Kurt insisted that he needed work immediately because he had run out of money the employee then asked him to pick up a nearby sandbag when Kurt touched it he felt his magic energy being absorbed he lifted it to the level of his thighs and found it to be quite heavy the employee thanked him and offered him some construction work repairing the city walls

in torn city she suggested working for a week and Kurt was relieved to have found a job at tyn's Frontier walls a man angrily asked what Kurt needed nervously Kurt handed him a letter of of recommendation and the man couldn't refuse since more workers were needed he was told to listen carefully as the instructions would only be given once Kurt was simply instructed to use the cement and repair the broken section of the wall he noticed that the other workers weren't using magic with the cement and attempted to ask the team leader about it the

man responded that the explanation would only be given once expecting results in 3 hours it was mentioned that rewards would be based on performance and then the man left Kurt assumed the man viewed him as unreliable however Kurt knew he could finish a barrel of cement in 5 minutes so he decided to give it his best effort 3 hours later the man was shocked to find that the walls had been repaired as if they were brand new Kurt apologized for The Limited work explaining that there had been a shortage of cement he confirmed that only

15 barrels of cement had been used the man began sweating nervously wondering who Kurt was to have covered a third of the wall in just 3 hours meanwhile Kurt felt anxious assuming he had messed up and might get fired again the man then asked how Kurt had reached the higher sections without ladders Kurt explained that he had simply thrown the cement and it stuck to the wall shocked the man asked how long Kurt would be available to work Kurt requested a week but the man asked him to stop for the day Kurt received his pay

and was told more would be sent through the agency with the payment in his hands Kurt resolved to give his all the next day however Kurt was asked by the man not to return anymore Kurt felt as if he had lost his purpose in life again he asked if he could stay for at least 3 more days but the man complained that Kurt would be taking away the available work meant for others it was explained that the Wall's repair work was intended to provide wages to the poor and if Kurt finished everything the others wouldn't

have any income Kurt's skills were praised being described as even better than those of ss ranked workers he was told to go work for the Royal sections instead a pouch of coins was handed to Kurt which he misunderstood as extra payment for his efforts aside from the compliments the man left angrily and Kurt couldn't believe he had lost the job in just one day Kurt decided to return to the agency where Kell the female employee from before assumed things hadn't gone well she recorded Kurt's task and started looking for another short-term job just then someone

shouted and asked her cooworker what had happened it was explained that a customer was looking for miners but his mind lacked a reliable record in upfront payments Kell suggested that an investor should be found before hiring minors a pretty woman exclaimed that there wasn't enough time as she needed to pay taxes that same week and the country would take over the mine if she didn't Kurt understood that the Pretty Woman had her own problems especially with taxes he offered his services and the girls were left surprised he mentioned that he had experience in mining Kell

grew concerned and warned him not to expect great rewards the woman turned argumentative and complained about Kell's bluntness it was suggested that someone better like a dwarf should be hired instead of Kurt who appeared thin and lanky Kell then informed yilia the woman that 10 coins would be needed in advance for hiring dwarves since she didn't have that much money yilia asked Kurt directly if he really had mining experience hurt by her earlier comments Kurt confirmed that he did yilia side and chose to hire him Kurt waved goodbye to Kell with a happy expression Kell

felt uneasy but hoped for the best as she found Kurt both cute and charismatic just then a transfer letter arrived and Kell read that Kurt had been paid 200 gold coins for recent repair work she stood in silence for a while reading the document from every angle she couldn't believe that 200 gold coins had been paid to Kurt out of shock she stumbled backward and tripped on her own foot she noticed a sandbag nearby but her coworker corrected her explaining meaning that it was actually a tool used to check a person's magic power it was

said that the tool would feel heavy to those with significant magical power and would only respond if the lifter's magic exceeded that of a court magician Kell remembered how Kurt had lifted the tool as if it were heavy her coworker then asked for the tool to be moved and Kell easily picked it up she began to wonder who Kurt really was after some preparations Kurt and yilia arrived in the mountains Kurt thought yilia must be wealthy to own a mountain however yilia explained that the mountains had been inherited from her grand grandmother and they were

supposed to be full of rare stones there had also been a plan to build a road through the area but the idea had been abandoned Kurt remembered that on the other side of the mountain was the Lord Ty con's town and he figured it must have been difficult to build a road there after walking for a while they reached their headquarters but all Kurt saw was a single tent he was told by yilia to bear with it Kurt assumed they would be sharing the tent and yilia had wondered if Kurt was concerned about his bad

sleeping habits it was exclaimed by Kurt that he would never dare to sleep in the same tent as someone as beautiful as yilia the employer became flustered and repeatedly said she was not beautiful at all Kurt couldn't believe how unaware she was it was shared by Kurt that despite traveling all over the world yilia was the prettiest woman he had ever seen his neck was grabbed by yilia as she ordered him to stop she stated that she had been an adventurer since the age of 10 and because of that she couldn't possibly be considered pretty

yilia then tossed him a baked potato Kurt suddenly missed the food from the previous Village he and the others had saved he didn't recall ever eating with his ex-teammates while yilia talked about how the potato should be cooked properly Kurt mentioned that it had been a long time since he had eaten food prepared by someone else the potato might have been cold and a bit undercooked but it was one of the tastiest things he had eaten in a while poor Kurt Kurt tried to sleep while sitting but Eisha urged him to come inside the tent

he refused not wanting to share the space but Eisha insisted saying she didn't want him to catch a cold and get sick before they started working with no other option Kurt went inside he tried to to fall asleep quickly but found it difficult when yurishia checked on him he pretended to be asleep she crawled into the tent and noticing how quiet it had become Kurt glanced over at her only to realize she was undressed he froze for a moment the image burned into his memory almost letting out a shocked cry before forcing himself to lie

down again but his troubled thoughts wouldn't let him rest so he eventually decided to leave the tent he sighed thinking Ura was far too careless in front of him unbeknownst to him yurishia had been pretending to sleep she realized her mistake feeling guilty for testing Kurt she had needed to see if he would try anything while they were together for the week calling him a good boy she thought to herself that Kurt was the more beautiful one the next morning Eisha woke up and found Kurt sleeping outside surprised she quickly tried to cover herself then

noticed a set of clothes nearby they were hers but they looked newly mended with wooden buttons replacing the old ones she was shocked at how fresh the clothes appeared after being sewn wondering who had fixed them she noticed small wood chips beside the sleeping Kurt shortly after Eisha thanked Kurt for fixing her clothes Kurt didn't mind but Eisha was bothered by how good his skills were she thought her repaired clothes were brand new she then explained their goal of paying off the tax bills within a week Kurt asked where the mine was and Eisha replied

that they would have to start digging one Kurt was shocked and asked where she wanted to dig Eisha left that choice to him despite not having any survey materials Kurt then asked if she was looking for something specific a few minutes later a tired Eisha was following Kurt they soon arrived at a spot and Kurt picked something up yurishia wondered if it was a special ore Kurt said the ore itself wasn't special unless it was broken open he casually split the ore with a garden hoe inside there was something shiny and Kurt revealed it was

a crystal that could pay off at least a third of eisha's debt she was even more surprised by how easily Kurt cracked the ore with just a light touch Kurt explained that it was simple you just needed to aim at the weak point of the rock yurishia asked how he knew the Ore had crystals inside and Kurt said it was just based on his intuition he then offered to teach her how to do it soon after Eisha felt dejected because she didn't understand anything Kurt had taught her Kurt blamed himself thinking he was a bad

teacher he then asked if they should sell the pile of crystals they had gathered Eisha refused to sell them right away since Kurt had done most of the work Kurt agreed saying the ones they found were still cheap and he decided to turn them into magic crystals Eisha was stunned and asked if Kurt was talking about jewelry with magical powers without hesitation Kurt applied his magical power to the crystal finishing it in an instant Eisha couldn't believe it was already done Kurt was confused but Eisha exclaimed that only 10 people in the world could create

magic crystals when Kurt showed her Eisha was shocked because something that usually took an hour was impossibly done in a second Eisha wondered if Kurt understood her amazement while Kurt was surprised that people could take an hour to channel magic soon the two decided to sell the magic Crystal for 50 units Eisha told Kurt to stay with her at an inn but Kurt refused since he had something to do in the mountains he wondered if one magic Crystal was still worth 10 gold coins eishia told him to rest before she returned Kurt promised he would

sleep well afterward and wished yurishia to take care Eisha suddenly felt a flutter in her heart and found Kurt so cute that she wanted to marry him Eisha arrived at the border and the guards inspected her belongings they asked where the magic crystals came from in response Eisha showed them a pendant and requested to use the teleportation Stone since she was headed to the Royal Capital the guards were shocked when they realized Eisha was an adventurer connected to the royal family despite her background Eisha knew it would be hard for anyone to believe where the

magic crystals came from in the moros Kingdom Eisha entered a cafe and a pretty girl named mimiko greeted her mimiko wondered if Eisha was running low on money since she had stopped by the place wasn't really a cafe but a military purveyor magic item shop Eisha showed the magic crystals and mimo examined them at first seeing how dim they were she said they'd only be worth 10 silver coins but 30 minutes later mimo claimed they could each be sold for 10 gold coins y IA had expected them to be valued in silver but mimo clarified

that she meant gold Eisha asked why and mimo explained that each magic Crystal had 10 times more magical power than a normal Crystal she went on to say that the value of a magic crystal is usually judged by how much light it gives off however the ones Eisha brought had a magic attribute that prevented the magic from leaking out making them appear less bright mimo had never seen anything like them before and asked where Eisha had gotten them Eisha felt conflicted she wanted to ask Kurt first but she needed to sell the crystals she then

revealed that she had 49 more pieces of the same magic Crystal mimo silently broke into a cold sweat and decided to buy them all eisha's mind became overwhelmed by the mental calculations and she sighed she knew money could be distracting but she had two requests first she didn't want to sell the magic Stones outside of mimo's store as others wouldn't appraise them accurately including the Craftsman second she wanted to know who made the magic crystals yurishia was aware that mimo the third Court magician had a high status equivalent to that of an Earl but still

refused to reveal the source of the magic Stones mimo clarified that it wasn't just a request but rather a demanding favor yurishia reminded her that she was no longer working for the royal family and didn't have to follow mimo's orders however mimo knew Eisha still used the Privileges that came with her former position Eisha claimed she had no reason to share what she knew with Mimo Mimo could only sigh and asked Eisha to at least ensure that the person who made the magic Stones remained in the country additionally she wanted Kurt to know that he

would be offered an honorary count rank the position of director at the Royal Institute of magicians and the title of Baron Eisha promised to inform Kurt Eisha came out of the cafe feeling overwhelmed by the new titles and the large amount of gold that Kurt had just received she couldn't understand what was happening trying to calm herself down she walked away when she returned to the agency Kell asked her what her business was Eisha requested Kurt's personal information but Kell refused to share anything yurishia had no choice but but to use a certain privilege since

she needed to learn more about Kurt meanwhile a confused and injured gnova wondered why fire wasn't coming from his sword he had been hit by the tree monsters attack and asked marleus for healing however despite several attempts marleus couldn't heal GN noa's wounds frustrated goova started blaming their new member bandana watched the others panic but to her it was something she had expected to happen back at the agency Eisha learned that Kurt had once been part of the Dragon Fang of fire kill shell confirmed that Kurt had been fired yurishia continued reading and found out

that Kurt had also been let go from his wall repair work but he still received 200 gold coins as payment she asked what had happened Kell explained that Kurt had easily finished half of the castle wall by himself not only that he repaired all three sides of the walls on his own yurishia thanked Kell for the information and gave her a pouch of shiny gold coins to pass on to Kurt Kell was overwhelmed by the amount especially since she had thought 200 gold coins was already a lot yurishia made it clear that there were 499

gold coins in side she then instructed Kell to keep Kurt's identity a secret and Kell promised that only a few staff members would know eishia knew Kurt's identity would eventually be revealed but she was okay with hiding it for now the next morning Eisha returned to the mountains and discovered a house where Kurt greeted her she looked confused as she wondered if there had been a log house there the day before Eisha entered the house and was surprised to see that it was a proper one Kurt asked if she had settled in mentioning that he

had prepared breakfast for her flustered Eisha couldn't help but think how Kurt was acting like a housewife especially with the apron he wore when Kurt asked her how the house was yurishia excitedly said it was amazing compared to her shabby tent she then asked if Kurt had rested and he confirmed that he had slept for 6 hours Eisha began counting and Kurt misunderstood thinking she had caught him slacking off Eisha told him not to work too hard Kurt found her kind for letting him sleep an extra 2 hours and reminding him not to push himself

Eisha then asked where Kurt's food was he explained that he would eat later since his job was to serve her first she told him it was fine as long as he worked properly later and wondered what was wrong with him she also reminded him that building the house and preparing food wasn't even his responsibility yurishia then found Kurt's food and brought it to the table so they could eat together she assumed Kurt's previous party had treated him poorly she also informed him that she had deposited the money she earned from selling the magic stones into

his account at the agency she mentioned that she would return the one magic Crystal she had borrowed to cover the fee Kurt told her the magic crystals should belong to her since they came from her Mountain but Eisha insisted on returning it to him saying the guilt would eat at her otherwise Eisha started eating Kurt's cooking and found the food delicious she excitedly asked where the eggs came from Kurt told her they were the same chicken eggs she had bought from town and asked if she didn't like his cooking yurishia exclaimed it was the opposite

saying it was unbelievably good Kurt was happy that she praised his cooking and mentioned that he had just used a regular pan when she saw the toast with honey she tried it and said it tasted even better than she expected in her mind Eisha listed all of CT non-combat skills which he had been showing off lately suddenly Eisha told Kurt that the person who had evaluated the magic crystals wanted him to become the head of the royal magic engineering Research Institute and would give him Noble status Kurt was shocked and asked where that even came

from Eisha explained that the person who wanted him was an Imperial Court magician who could be trusted she then asked what Kurt planned to do Kurt stayed calm and said it was an amazing offer but he wanted to decline he still hoped to be called back to his old party meanwhile bandana was enjoying her meal unlike her gnova was Furious about the terrible food bandana found it amusing to see him complain as she had expected this reaction since goova was used to someone else's cooking angry goova stormed out of the restaurant without paying when he

got back to their base bandana was already there she asked how the food from the famous restaurant was goova called it trash and demanded the smoked meat that Kurt had made instead bandana laughed reminding him that he had already eaten all of it and mentioned that she wished she had some too goova annoyed swung his sword at bandan and glared at her while she simply glanced away he regretted not hiring Kurt as their party's cook especially after eating the awful food in the capital bandana disagreed saying that wasn't the issue goova then mentioned how delicious

the food had been in the last City to which bandana clarified that Kurt was the one who cooked it goova was shocked knowing that the chef in that city was known for not letting others into his kitchen bandana explained that after witnessing Kurt's skills the famous chef had become meek and disappeared somewhere on his own goova suddenly realized that Kurt had been cooking for the team all along frustrated he ordered bandana to bring Kurt back bandana agreed but said she would need the tracking Crystal with a sigh she left the base passing by some soldiers

along the way she figured goova might get arrested soon due to the trouble he had been causing lately in the past Kurt had always cleaned up after go noa's messes and apologized to the people affected on top of that go noa's sword and marthus' staff could only use powerful magic because Kurt maintained and adjusted them luckily marleus wasn't around as she had been called back to the church meanwhile Kurt and Eisha returned to mining Kurt found a spot where he could dig at an angle he warned Eisha about digging Too Deep saying they might stumble

upon a cave they could be buried alive or at worst killed by underground gases Kurt then marked a place and decided to dig alone yurishia realized she needed to do something too so she could pay off her debts with her own effort they agreed to split up soon after yurishia found something on her own she thought it was topaz which could sell for at least three gold coins and even more if Kurt turned turned it into a magic Crystal but she dismissed the idea feeling that she still needed to repay Kurt and should earn her

own way although she believed she was being independent she ended up finding something where Kurt had marked she convinced herself it was fine since she did the digging she hoped she could clear her debts in one go after some time she went to check on Kurt and discovered an entrance to a mine the inside was bright without any lamps and the space was large enough to fit a carriage pulled by two horses Kurt greeted her saying he was finishing up he apologized for only finding second rate materials Eisha didn't mind considering the location but then

she spotted a crate full of sparkling gems she wondered if they were silver or gold Kurt casually mentioned they were mithil ORS Eisha froze for a moment staring at Kurt in disbelief she couldn't believe such a valuable metal was right in front of her Kurt explained that they were so common in his village they would just throw them away yurishia was stunned and started thinking about all the metal ores she knew since Kurt called mithil second rate she realized what he had been aiming for all along despite no knowing she took a deep breath and

asked Kurt what he was really looking for Kurt casually showed her something and said he was after oricalcum Eisha started sweating as she tried to calculate the price of such a thing Kurt mentioned that it could easily be found by digging 7 km deep Eisha remembered mimo once saying their world had a thick layer of Bedrock about 5 km underground with precious materials behind it that would take humans 100 years to mine yurishia asked Kurt about his earlier warning about digging deep Kurt explained that he was used to it since he knew how caves worked

back in his village but he had taken his time digging this time eishia couldn't believe that Kurt called digging 7 km in 8 hours taking some time and on top of that he had found the legendary orac Calcom she then asked where the hole was since there was no sign of it Kurt said he had filled it back up because it could be dangerous yurishia also realized that digging a tunnel out of nowhere should have been impossible she looked at the other end of the tunnel and finally understood that Kurt had simply dug straight through

the mountain she lay on the ground trying to make sense of it all worried Kurt handed her a blanket meanwhile bandana was impressed to see Kurt working with someone who used to work for the royal family she was glad that the dragon fangs of Fire group had helped hide Kurt's true strength she couldn't believe she had to take action already she always knew it wasn't easy being the great Sage's disciple later mimo received a letter from Eisha through a carrier pigeon saying she would bring a large amount of mithil and some oricalcum mimo paused thinking

Eisha must have found some pretty gems she sent the pigeon back without replying and reread the letter stunned by what eishia wrote meanwhile yurishia was approached by a man who told her to give up on paying her debt but Eisha determined crumpled the document saying she now had the means to pay it off she had refined the ores Kurt found and even used his tunnel through the mountains as a shortcut between the two cities in return for allowing the merchant Guild to use it freely they agreed to handle all the tunnel's maintenance Kurt admired how

Eisha managed to settle her debts and benefit the merchants not wanting to be idle he decided to look for a new job at an agency at that moment a familiar voice called out it was bandana Kurt was surprised to see her and asked about their other two teammates bandana explained that something had happened and she had also been kicked out of the party realizing bandana was a top-notch ranger Kurt knew rejoining the party would be difficult bandana assumed Kurt had given up on adventuring since he was heading to a job agency but Kurt insisted he

still wanted to return to the party when she asked why he replied that he admired goova his mentor bandana gave a sad smile knowing that goova was now a wanted man bandana decided to to let it go and advised Kurt not to take the next job aptitude test at the work agency she explained that many mercenaries would be flooding the agency because a recent War had just ended so they probably wouldn't have time for his test instead she invited Kurt to consider working at her friend's Workshop Kurt's eyes lit up realizing she meant a famous

Workshop known as an atellier Meister bandana confirmed explaining that an atellier Meister Workshop uses special Technology and Engineering and only 15 exist in the entire country excited Kurt asked if he could join and bandanna pleased told him to go on his own since she was busy these workshops produce and sell items like medicine magical weapons and tools a licensing system oversees the production and distribution of these goods and their owners called atellier meisters hold a status equal to a VI count Kurt was surprised to hear that one existed in the nearby City he searched until

he located AER opilia he knocked on the door once but there was no response after a moment he heard noises from inside and a pretty short haired girl with pointed ears open the door stunned Kurt found himself speechless assuming she was the Itali Meister the girl looked concerned and asked if he was shocked to see an elf Kurt quickly realized it was indeed uncommon elves were known for their long lifespans and their skill in water wind and light magic and they typically live near igdrasil in the great Forest Kurt asked if she was the atellier

Meister but the girl firmly denied it she introduced herself as Michelle assistant to ofilia the atellier Meister Kurt introduced himself and agreed that Michelle likely wasn't the Meister given her youthful appearance Michelle then surprised him by saying she was actually 80 years old causing him to raise his voice in disbelief apologizing for his reaction he was met with Michelle's own apology explaining that her master wasn't accepting commissions at the moment Kurt mentioned he'd come after bandana recommended it and Michelle assumed he must be the helper they'd been expecting with her master occupied Michelle brought Kurt

inside as he entered Kurt noticed a strange pungent smell from further inside which he assumed was from chemicals or poisons however he was shocked when they reached a messy dirty kitchen that left him Frozen in disbelief Michelle apologized asking him to clean up the kitchen first and Kurt realized he'd been called over for house chores not for Workshop tasks Michelle shared that her master usually handled the cleaning but she'd been busy with a project for the last 3 weeks although she was good at cooking she admitted she was terrible at cleaning afterward calling herself useless

Kurt disagreed saying everyone had things they struggled with like himself he wanted to be an adventurer but had low combat ranks Michelle bluntly responded that such low ranks would make it nearly impossible for anyone to become an adventurer hitting Kurt right where it hurt while she apologized Kurt began to reflect on himself at that moment ofilia called Michelle away leaving Kurt alone in the kitchen in no time the once messy kitchen was sparkling clean Kurt had finished the work in 30 minutes wondering if he would have been dismissed if he'd taken any longer unsure what

to do next he decided to ask Michelle he knocked on a door and heard a response then opened opened it while apologizing for intruding it turned out he really had intruded as he found himself face to face with a girl in the middle of changing clothes the two of them stared at each other in Silence the girl asked Kurt who he was flustered Kurt turned away and introduced himself as the new helper she then mentioned that ofilia was in the basement Kurt was about to leave when he noticed something unsettling on the girl's stomach she

told him it was a curse and asked if he knew anything about them Kurt recalled learning a bit about curses as a child when random Goblin Shaman would place curses on him after he picked herbs he offered to take a look and after touching it noticed that the nerves around her stomach had already gone numb realizing her internal organs might be affected he began to worry about her ability to eat just then her stomach rumbled and she blushed in embarrassment she apologized but Kurt was relieved to see she still had an appetite he decided to

make her a meal the girl shyly thanked him her words coming out in stutters Kurt chuckled finding it odd that she felt embarrassed about her growling stomach but not about being seen undressed back in the kitchen Kurt realized he had touched a woman for the first time which distracted him so much that he tripped meanwhile Eisha visited mimo again in the capital mimo greeted her with a dark ominous expression surprising Eisha by mentioning that the commotion she caused had even reached the king's ears Eisha defended herself saying she couldn't help it given that she had

a huge amount of mithil and or calcum with her mimo asked if those were in the cart she'd brought along lifting the cover mimo glared at yurishia yurishia explained that the real ores were hidden under fakes as mimo uncovered The Fakes she picked up a real ore rendered speechless and revealed more of the precious metals beneath Eisha had never seen mimo so shocked finally mimo slapped her own face composed herself and instructed yurishia to bring the cart to the back of the store after a while mimo finally calmed down she finished calculating everything and the

total for the ores came to 880,000 gold coins she explained that she would need to pay it in installments Eisha trembled at hearing such an amount thinking it was far beyond a big City's budget or even the annual salary of a Royal Court magician mimo remarked that this amount could buy multiple mountains like the one Eisha owned then with some irritation she demanded to know who had dug up all the ore nervously yurishia repeated Kurt's words to Mimo especially his refusal of any Noble titles mimo was still puzzled as to why such a skilled young

man had been hidden away until now Ura admitted she wasn't sure herself only that Kurt had once belonged to the famous Dragon fangs of fire mimo recognized the name it was the party that fell apart after the leader became a wanted man this was news to Eisha so mimo explained how goova had struck down a guard trying to arrest him for public disturbance hearing about gnova yurishia finally understood why Kurt behaved so cautiously she wondered why someone as talented as Kurt had been forced out by goova she assured mimo that Kurt was a good person

mentioning that she tested him with mimo's method curious mimo asked what she meant and yurishia explained she had checked if he would react aggressively if they slept in the same tent mimo was surprised iisha had actually done it but when Eisha asked why mimiko dismissed it quickly changing the subject by asking about her plans for Kurt urish expressed her wish to establish Kurt as an atellier Meister however mimo warned that this would expose Kurt's identity and suggested that it might be best to keep some control over his actions she also hinted that Eisha could serve

as his bodyguard still they both wondered whether Kurt would agree to their plan Kurt had just finished cooking a meal for the cursed girl when Michelle entered the kitchen with an older woman both of them froze as they took in the site their once dirty kitchen was now gleaming as if it had been newly built Kurt suddenly anxious asked if the woman with Michelle was aier Meister ofilia he quickly apologized for using the kitchen without permission but the older woman didn't mind she then noticed the porridge Kurt had cooked and was surprised to see the

pot fixed Kurt explained that the girl in the far room was hungry opilia was shocked and asked if kurd had really met the girl urging him not to tell anyone about her her tone hinted at a bit of charm which flustered he couldn't help but agree to keep it a secret as opilia commented on the pleasant smell of the food Kurt offered to cook more for her but she declined and handed him gold coins as payment instead she told him to return the next day and Kurt surprised by the amount exclaimed it was too much

opilia insisted that he deserved it and Kurt thanked her sincerely feeling genuinely grateful stepping outside Kurt felt a sense of acceptance he hadn't felt before while repairing walls and Mining with Eisha he had felt useless but thanks to ailia kindness he now felt recognized and determined to do his best for the next day's work meanwhile opilia reflecting on Kurt called him a strange kid she realized he possessed SSS ranks in both processing and repair skills something she found impossible seeing his abilities she wondered if he was a spy from another Workshop or even the royal

family however she dismissed the idea as no one should have an SSS ranked class in the meantime Michelle began to cry fearing she'd be fired since Kurt had taken over her tasks opilia reassured her that she wouldn't be dismissed meanwhile a group of robed figures discussed how the princess was still alive one man apologized admitting that the third princess hadn't died yet but another grew impatient and ordered them to ensure the princess's death he insisted that Lisa lot homos must be eliminated at all costs back at ofilia Workshop which had a peaceful looking backyard a

cursed girl giggled while watching the birds outside ofilia entered the room with food and reminded the girl not to open the curtains warning it would be Troublesome if someone saw her the girl apologized addressing opilia as teacher opilia felt nostalgic remembering the days when she was the girl's Home Room teacher the girl then asked if ofilia had gotten any sleep she was grateful that ofilia was helping slow down the curses effects but felt guilty about it she urged opilia to rest more pointing out that she now had a helper ofilia confirmed that the two had

met vowing to keep the girl's existence a secret she realized that her judgment had become clouded due to fatigue lowering her guard by allowing Michelle to bring in a stranger that bandana had referred to she decided decided to scold Michelle later and reassured the girl not to worry then she gently reminded her to cover up her exposed belly opilia recalled how it had been too late for the girl once she had snuck out of the castle after the recent war ended the girl lelot homos the third princess and a child born from the union between

the neighboring country's princess and king homose had been cursed she was a symbol of peace between the two Nations ofilia made a promise to break the curse that was consuming Lisa the touching moment was interrupted by the sound of Lisa's grumbling stomach embarrassed Lisa exclaimed that she was reacting to the delicious smell ofilia wanted to check the porridge for poison but Lisa was confident that Kurt wouldn't dare do such a thing opilia reminded her that they had just met but Lisa trusted Kurt also saying that any poison wouldn't hurt as much as the curse inside

her ofilia was still concerned especially since the curse had been placed on Lisa in such a sneaky way with the culprit still unknown Lisa pleaded with her teacher to let her trust someone for once opilia finally relented allowing Lisa to eat the porridge Kurt had made Lisa happily ate the porridge commenting on how warm it was but after a few bites she suddenly clutched her stomach in pain and fell from her seat horrified ofilia concluded that Kurt had poisoned Lisi meanwhile Eisha was anxious worrying that Kurt might refuse the idea of becoming an aalia Meister

because of his modest nature mimo advised her to have Kurt take the aptitude test first saying it was only a matter of time before he attracted unwanted attention once people discovered he had Unearthed such rare ores yurishia didn't want that to happen and considered having Kurt intentionally fail the test however she felt uneasy about deliberately causing a good person to fail especially when he didn't even realize his own potential mimiko suggested canceling the test altogether but eishia declined she planned to meet with Kurt soon because she wanted to discuss their future so she needed a

plan mimiko then remarked that Eisha was acting strangely noting that she wasn't the type to become so invested in a man she had only just met Eisha dismissed the idea but mimiko reminded her how she had shown Kurt her bare skin yurishia blushed panicked and quickly shut down screaming in embarrassment mimo chuckled finally understanding what was happening Eisha demanded to know what mimiko meant mimo pointed out that Eisha usually didn't mind being seen naked by a man then playfully suggested that Eisha might marry Kurt and protect him for the rest of her life Eisha froze

as the thought crossed her mind and a bright look appeared on her face for some reason mimo claimed she was only joking but Eisha insisted they had just met and weren't even dating on the other hand Lisa had been cured of her curse opilia was in disbelief and asked her student to calm down Lisa excitedly said she was fine and showed her stomach revealing that the curses Mark was gone opilia was shocked and guessed that the pain Lisa had just experienced was from the curse being broken Lisa then urged her to try the porridge ofilia

took a spoonful and felt a strange sensation both her fatigue and sleepiness vanished she was stunned while it was possible for porridge to help with fatigue curing curses was another matter that kind of magic required an Elixir not a simple dish she realized that Kurt's porridge had the same effects as the legendary elixir of Life Lisa then suggested they return somewhere and ofilia agreed so they could stop the war from breaking out later that night mimo heard the door to her shop open and nervously asked Eisha to greet the visitor for her Eisha went to

check and found that it was ofilia looking for mimo ofilia had come to seek some advice but noticed mimiko already had a visitor mimiko reassured her that it was fine since Eisha could be trusted calling her simple-minded ofilia knew Eisha was a former Adventurer working for the royal family mimo mentioned that opilia knew this because she was an atellier Meister ofilia decided to trust Eisha then another person stepped inside the store and removed her cloak instinctively both mimo and Eisha knelt down they were stunned to see the Kingdom's third princess entering such a humble shop

Lisa greeted them with a cheerful smile seeing how cheerful Lisa was mimiko asked if the princess was feeling better and Lisa confirmed it even Eisha had thought Lisa was supposed to be overseas but it turned out she had been hiding due to a curse yurishia couldn't believe that mimo had involved in something so serious opilia then got straight to the main topic someone was targeting Lisa's life eishia realized that whoever was behind it might want to start another War which she found alarming suddenly mimo gave Lisa a warm hug relieved that Lisa was all right

she guessed they had come to ask her to find out who had cast The Curse loyal to the royal family especially Lisa's mother mimiko promised to do whatever she could yisha didn't know how close mimiko was to Lisa's mother so she decided not to get involved in the discussion about the curse for now mimiko then wondered why someone with a deadly curse would be eating so well ofilia gently reminded Lisa to eat slowly since she was still recovering mimo guessed that ofilia had already lifted the curse Lisa happily exclaimed that she was fine now all

thanks to Kurt mimo and Eisha were stunned mimiko shot Eisha a glare and angrily demanded to know what Lisa was talking about Eisha quickly suggested it might be someone else with the same name then Eisha described Kurt to ailia and the atellier Meister confirmed it was indeed him asking if they knew each other Eisha couldn't believe the coincidence she was shocked to hear that Kurt had already met both an nataliia meister and a princess curious she asked what Lisa meant by thanking Kurt ofilia explained how Kurt was hired to clean the workshop cooked some porridge

for Lisa and how that same porridge broke the curse yurishia gave up being surprised she was used to Kurt's strange talents by now ofilia then asked who Kurt really was and if the porridge had been some kind of Elixir Eisha was astonished to hear Kurt's porridge being compared to something so legendary mimo went on to share how Ura had met Kurt a few days ago and how he had dug up 70 kg of mithril in orac calcum in a single day by tunneling through deep Bedrock ofilia however seemed doubtful and even yurishia looked like she

had given up trying to explain mimo then uncovered a nearby cart making opilia fall silent for a moment she couldn't believe it but yurishia confirmed that Kurt had dug it all up like a maiden in love Lisa fully believed that Kurt had done it on his own yurishia sensed something strange and felt irritated even though she knew how Carefree the princess was it bothered her when Lisa spoke about Kurt she tried to deny the jealousy bubbling inside her mimo then asked them to focus on the main goal identifying the cse's Caster she had three suspects

in mind sanova wrist cots the general of the Kingdom's Expedition forces Tristan menol the bishop of the Church of Poland and isidora arkama the King's third Queen consort mimo suspected that Tristan might have used some priest to tamper with the charms protecting Lisa's room meanwhile as a queen isidora could move freely around the C C sonova was the least likely suspect but they couldn't dismiss the possibility that he might have hired someone from the Thieves Guild ofilia then suggested setting a trap since Lisa was turning 15 and would soon leave the palace for a year

of studies as was tradition it could be the perfect opportunity if isidora was the culprit Lisa leaving the palace would make her act however sending Lisa to study at the church would be risky since Tristan was there mimo then asked where Lisa should go to study ofilia suggested an atellier and mimo assumed it would be her own but ofilia pointed out that using her own atellier wouldn't make for a good trap so she proposed creating a temporary atellier and appointing a new atellier master mimo caught on to the plan they would set up a fake

atellier Master to stir up suspicion among the suspects prompting them to take action by doing so they could carefully monitor their movements opilia agreed and said they would choose someone with recent achievements to act as the atellier master with her an atellier meister and mimo a Royal Court magician backing them as they discussed their plan to find a solution yurishia joined the conversation she rummaged through something and asked if the super rare Magic Crystal she was holding could be considered an accomplishment opilia and mimo were shocked at the size of the crystal no one not

even an experienced atellier Meister was supposed to be able to process one that large opilia declared it an artifact and said that whoever processed it would surely become a true atellier Meister when ofilia asked where yurishia got it yurishia casually explained that Kurt had had made it in just a minute or two while they were descending the mountains the two high-ranking women in the Kingdom couldn't believe what they were hearing they were simply relieved to have their problem solved Lisa then remarked on how beautiful the sunrise was outside later Kurt went to the workshop and

found it closed wondering what it happened Michelle appeared and explained that ofilia had left shortly after Kurt without leaving any instructions for him Kurt started to worry again thinking he might have done something wrong Michelle apologized and told him there wouldn't be any work for him this time feeling down Kurt walked back to town disappointed to be out of a job after just one day as he looked for something to eat he noticed a crowd gathered around an announcement board the notice talked about a mysterious new atellier Meister recommended by opilia the third Royal Court

magician mimo and the third princess it also mentioned that the third princess would study under the mysterious atellier meister for 5 years once she reached adulthood Kurt then realized that ofilia had left for business reasons and he hadn't messed up after all however he was still jobless no knowing eishia had already paid off her debts he doubted he would see her anytime soon as he ate and pondered his next job he wondered if the tavern's kitchen needed a cook suddenly he overheard a group nearby arguing about hiring a courier for an urgent task Kurt listened

closely as the three debated frustrated that they didn't have enough time to find a courier before they needed to set off he figured that if it was just carrying luggage he could handle it still he wished he could return to his old group but after Bandana's dismissal he knew that wasn't an option determined to prove himself kurtt approached the noisy group and offered to help carry their things the three paused and looked at him this would be Kurt's first time working with a different party he said he would be useless in a fight but he

could at least solve their problem the girl glared at him asking if Kurt was mocking them she shouted that someone young and scrawny like him wouldn't be any help but her teammates quickly silenced her the man who turned out to be her brother apologized and explained that being their Courier would be tough since they had to protect an iron golem weighing about 200 kg Kurt sens they might reject him so he quickly assured them he could handle the weight even offering to prove it by lifting the two men the older brother tried to stop him

but Kurt easily lifted the blackhaired man then without hesitation he also lifted the older brother who wore heavy plated armor the two men were stunned and everyone around them applauded Kurt after he set them down they all agreed to let him join they welcomed Kurt into their party Sakura and he felt relieved to have found a new job the older brother was KH a Bruiser who preferred punching over you using the sword he carried the leader danzo was a samurai which he explained was the Eastern version of a swordsman Sheena the girl was a ranger

and she mentioned they had another member named vevano their usual Courier however vevano had caught a cold and needed a week to recover Kurt was surprised that the flu in the city seemed so serious since in the countryside where he was from it was easily treated with medicine Kurt formally introduced himself hoping he could be helpful to the team they were all impressed by his humility and happily accepted him seeing how kind they were promised not to cause any trouble soon after they finally reached their destination Kurt felt nervous as it had been a long

time since he'd last gone adventuring suddenly he panicked as a slime attacked him Sheena quickly instructed him on how to kill it Kurt tried to slash it but his sword just bounced back stabbing his own leg instead Sheena asked what he was doing then grabbed the short sword and killed the Slime herself Kurt thanked her and apologized Sheena recalled him mentioning he wasn't good at fighting and Kurt feeling nervous again assured her he was skilled at carrying things KH reassured him not to worry as they would handle the fighting danzo reminded Kurt of his role

as their Courier and that they needed to keep him safe until they delivered the goods Kurt was surprised that they weren't angry at him for his mistake their kindness was completely different from what he'd experienced with his previous teammates realizing he could finally be himself he started to tear up Sheena panicked and K blamed her but Kurt quickly claimed he was fine and drank something he explained it was just an infusion of medicinal herbs as he couldn't afford magic potions he was used to having a Healer in the party but this time his herbal infusions

might be useful danzo then asked if everyone was ready and they continued forward meanwhile Kell received a new payment receipt for Kurt she couldn't believe he had another one especially so soon after the last she thought she couldn't be surprised anymore but the Staggering amount of 10,000 gold coins left her stunned feeling weak she wondered if she was imagining things she checked the receipt again and had to accept it was real she couldn't believe Kurt had earned such an amount in such a short time she thought about asking her seniors for help but froze when

eishia appeared Eisha casually shared that an additional 880,000 gold coins would be arriving soon that was the final blow for Kell who swore not to tell anyone yurishia reassured her saying she never doubted her she then introduced mimiko and whispered that mimiko was the third Court magici asking her to handle Kurt's incoming payment overwhelmed by all this information Kell fainted meanwhile danzo warned Kurt to watch his steps Sheena complained saying those words should be aimed at someone like her instead danzo replied that it was because Kurt looked like a girl K chimed in saying Sheena

should be the one warning them since she was the ranger Sheena then searched for her Lantern and Kurt offered some goblins gold glowing spores from a fungus with the area lit up Kurt noticed that the cave seemed ready to collapse at any moment he spotted something and Sheena identified it as Goblin droppings Kurt remembered some unpleasant encounters with goblins K reassured him they could handle the Goblins as long as it wasn't a large group the group continued exploring the cave which turned out to be a network of ancient ruins just just as Kurt noticed something

strange Sheena signaled for silence and pointed out a goblin ahead she then Drew back her knife aiming for the Goblin's neck however danzo moved first slicing the Goblin cleanly in half with a Lightning Fast Draw his move was so quick that Kurt couldn't even follow it and he was amazed by the sharpness of danzo's Sword K grumbled but danzo explained that the goblin was about to alert its friends Kurt also admired sheena's Precision finding everyone else Dependable knowing there were goblins nearby KH hoped they would come across the Golem soon after a while they stumbled

upon a goblin Nest Sheena blamed KH for jinxing them and suggested finding a different route but then K made a rookie mistake his armor scraped against the wall making a loud noise everyone froze at the blunder he made in a panic they sprinted away with Sheena scolding her brother for messing up K urged Kurt to move ahead while he stayed behind to distract the Goblins however there had been more goblins ahead of them it was clearly a whole Colony danzo ordered everyone to fight and hold their ground KH stayed silent but Sheena complained that they

had no chance of winning Kurt then asked them to wait because he noticed something on the nearby wall a hidden passage opened and everyone praised him they were safe for the moment but Sheena urged everyone to keep moving and signaled the other two men they asked Kurt to search for an exit and as they tried to put some distance between them and the Goblins the creatures broke through the hidden passage they managed to find another one and Sheena dragged Kurt inside it was Pitch Black and Sheena quickly shut the door behind them Kurt asked what

she was doing since KH and danzo were still outside Sheena bluntly said she was aware K told Kurt they couldn't find an exit with the goblins right behind them and asked the younger two to move forward Kurt insisted on staying to fight but Sheena called him an idiot and reminded him he couldn't even kill a slime she made it clear that he would only slow them down Kurt then realized that even though Sheena wanted to stay and fight she also knew she would only be a burden to her older brothers in a solemn tone KH

asked Kurt to take care of Sheena he then turned to danzo asking if they could survive this danzo pointed out that they would either win or die in this situation KH apologized for dragging danzo into his mess but danzo brushed it off saying he had no regrets it would be an honor to die fighting for his little sister danzo felt the same believing that dying as a warrior would be a noble end both men were warriors to the core they wouldn't regret their sacrifice even if it meant laying down their lives for their friends Kurt's

eyes filled with tears when he heard them call him a friend yet he felt useless unable to help them in this situation Shea assured him that the others were strong enough to handle it then asked for the Goblins gold she blew the spores from her hands Illuminating the darkness but then she froze as the scene before them became clear a cold sweat broke out on her brow as a dragon-like creature loomed in front of them her knees buckled as she realized that the enormous Iron Golem Dragon could mean their deaths what made it worse was

that there were more than one of them in the room the creatures known as Golems were Guardians of the dungeon meant to stop Intruders from passing through Sheena could only cry silently and tremble in fear in front of them meanwhile K was holding off all the Goblins outside danzo then sliced through the goblins with a single Swift swing K thanked danzo and the two kept smiling as they fought the Goblins together they were risking their lives to protect the young ones hiding behind a secret door however it was now all in vain as Sheena and

Kurt were trapped with the dangerous Golems back in the city yurishia led Lisa around while they searched for Kurt and they ended up in front of the Inn where Kurt was staying Eisha reminded Lisa not to mention her status as a princess to him Lisa stayed under uia's watch since it was the safest option Lisa didn't care about her princess title when it came to her one and only hero Kurt she even asked Eisha to call her by her name to avoid suspicions but Eisha refused not wanting to risk being charged with treason and getting

imprisoned for it they obtained the key to Kurt's room from the manager but when they got inside the room Kurt was nowhere to be found from the hallways a sneaky bandana told them that Kurt had gone to the Northeast cave with a party called Sakura yurishia quickly glanced behind her but no one was there she wondered who bandana was and why Kurt had gone to the goblin infested cave which had recently been cleared by Knights during a training drill Lisa asked who had been outside but eishia urged her to stay put however Lisa insisted on

coming along yurishia called her unreasonable but the princess fired back with the same accusation Lisa reminded Eisha that she was her bodyguard and that they should stick together she promised not to be a burden Eisha sighed and agreed telling the princess not to leave her side Eisha then resolved to scold Kurt and teach him a lesson later Lisa's imagination ran wild and she nervously asked what kind of lesson Eisha had in mind for Kurt Eisha confused explained that it would just be a simple scolding Lisa seemed disappointed leaving Eisha puzzled about what was going on

with the princess Eisha then asked leas to just call her by her name and together they set out to find Kurt in a flashback Sheena looking eager told her older brother that she wanted to become a ranger she had already gathered the necessary gear and wanted to join cons however K advised her to gain some experience first by hunting slimes and goblins Sheena complained that goblins didn't pay well but K warned her not to underestimate them a single Goblin might not be much of a threat but a swarm could be dangerous Sheena curious about the

world wondered what it would feel like to face monsters at 13 she became an adventurer she made plenty of mistakes early on but it had been 3 years since Khan and danzo accepted her now that she was getting the hang of adventuring they had taken a quest to deliver raw materials for an iron golem she wished they had turned down the quest from the beginning Sheena apologized to Kurt for dragging him along admitting they couldn't do anything against the Golems she knew that even if they tried to go back the Goblins would kill them Kurt

grabbed her and insisted they could Escape he then decided to move the Golems out of the way he approached the Iron Dragon Golems until one attacked with its tail Sheena Cried Out Kurt's name in despair but Kurt easily dodged the dragon's tail and landed safely Sheena was left confused by what she saw Kurt calmly walked toward the Iron Dragon Golem and stabbed it Sheena was even more confused when nothing happened at first then a few seconds later the Golem's tail fell to the ground with a heavy thud Sheena stared in disbelief the Iron Dragon Golem

then tried to crush Kurt with a body slam but he casually lifted the severed tail and pointed it upwards the Iron Dragon Golem was impaled by its own tail and shattered into pieces after its core was destroyed Sheena kept watching with a confused expression as Kurt stepped back slightly not even breaking a sweat and wondered what had just happened her attention was entirely on kurtt she questioned what kind of knife he was holding for it to remain unbroken assuming he had used it to dispel the Golem's Magic on top of that he had used the

Iron Dragon Golem's own tail to pierce its core she couldn't believe this was the same boy who once struggled to kill a slime there were so many things in the world she didn't understand and she was learning about them for the first time yet the boy standing in front of her only added more questions to her mind Kurt reassured Sheena not to worry saying he was the best when it came to mining iron gold sheena's question from 3 years ago resurfaced in her mind because of Kurt meanwhile yurishia couldn't get bandana out of her thoughts

and guessed she might be one of mimiko's underlings but bandana should have stayed hidden what troubled her even more was that Kurt had joined an unfamiliar Adventurer party she worried about the kind-hearted and trusting Kurt when Eisha and Lisa reached the cave entrance Eisha warned Lisa to hide if any monsters appeared inside they were surprised by how brightly lit it was and based on the footprints They concluded that four people had entered entered Lisa confirmed that one set of footprints matched Kurt's boots Eisha was a bit startled but brushed it off as she recognized his

tracks too Lisa then suggested she take the lead and used her sense enhancement Eisha found Lisa's skill impressive though it was strange to see a princess sniffing around oddly enough Lisa seemed to know which path Kurt had taken Eisha was amazed by Lisa's senses and couldn't help but wonder how Lisa recognized Kurt's scent realizing the two might have been close she suddenly felt a Pang in her chest that was jealousy Eisha Lisa mentioned remembering Kurt's shampoo scent from when he broke her curse Eisha felt relieved to hear this but the strange feeling lingered imagining Kurt's

routine she pictured him taking a bath and realized just how well he took care of himself snapping out of her thoughts yurishia noticed Lisa giving her a curious look Lisa then mentioned that she smelled blood ahead the two rushed forward worried about Kurt Eisha urged Lisa to stay back while she checked some fresh blood stains in nearby Goblin corpses she warned Lisa about the gruesome sight but Lisa reassured her saying she wasn't the spoiled princess people thought Eisha asked her to brace herself as they'd likely see more Goblin bodies ahead they continued down the path

until they reached a broken hidden passage suddenly they heard loud noises and assumed Kurt was in a fight Eisha told Lisa to stay where she was and stay alert before Eisha left Lisa cast a buff spell on her and Eisha quickly felt the effects she thanked Lisa and rushed into the battle when she arrived she saw KH and danzo fighting against a goblin army counting at least 20 goblins she swiftly cut down most of them she noticed two men who were badly injured but Kurt was nowhere to be seen Eisha asked if they were from

the Sakura party KH confirmed they were and asked who she was ignoring the question Eisha asked where Kurt was K explained that Kurt had escaped through a hidden door still skeptical Eisha kept her guard up introduced herself and offered to help them watching from a distance Lisa felt anxious but knowing Eisha was a former adventurer who once served the royal family she trusted she would be okay within a minute the Goblins were defeated Eisha ran to the hidden door and forced it open inside she found Sheena and asked who she was and where Kurt was

Sheena pointed to Kurt who was still surrounded by Iron Dragon Golems seeing the broken Golems Eisha wondered what had just happened just then Kurt appeared popping out of nowhere like a mole surprised yurishia quickly checked on him Kurt reassured her that he was fine and was more worried about danzo and KH Eisha assured him that the two men were safe and unharmed Kurt was so relieved he almost cried he handed her some of his herbal infusions to give them and then he himself fainted Eisha noticed that Kurt had no visible injuries and assumed he was

just exhausted she lifted him gently and praised him for his efforts then she remembered Sheena and found her trembling next to Lisa Eisha asked her what happened with a shaky voice Sheena explained that Kurt had claimed experience in mining iron golems and had destroyed all the Iron Dragon Golems she couldn't believe Kurt had managed to defeat them by simply striking a dagger into their joints and he'd done it all on his own yurishia found it hard to believe too since Kurt was ranked low lowest in all combat related skills but then she recalled a story

of a man with a g- ranked sickle skill but an s-ranked mowing skill who defeated a Wild Rose Dragon using a mowing sickle she'd once thought it was a funny story but after seeing Kurt's feet it might be the same with him in mining Lisa then asked if this was Kurt's true power Eisha replied anxiously realizing it was Lisa's first time witnessing Kurt's abilities as usual Lisa reacted like a maiden in love as though expecting no less from her hero yurishia began to doubt if Lisa was really a princess danzo used Kurt's herbal infusion and

found it incredible as it healed every wound down to the smallest scratch KH called it high quality and said Eisha shouldn't have wasted it on them but Eisha didn't mind at all however KH insisted on repaying her with the reward they'd received from their Quest Eisha appreciated the thought but first she informed them that the guild had issued a warning about goblins fleeing the cave because the knights were conducting drills nearby KH hadn't known as another member had accepted the quest however danzo suspected that vevano had led them into a death trap still he didn't

forget to thank Eisha for saving them just then Kurt returned with Lisa carrying a huge piece of the Iron Golem yurishia was shocked to see someone with such a small frame carrying something so massive with ease KH cautioned Kurt not to push himself too hard but Kurt Shrugged it off saying it was normal work for a courier Eisha now understood why Kurt had been looking for a courier job and felt annoyed that he and Lisa were addressing each other so casually she remembered how Kurt had effortlessly built a log house dug through mountains and excavated

things on his own Kurt then asked Lisa to stop speaking to him so formally but Lisa insisted explaining that he was her savior Kurt recalled only making porridge for her thinking it was no big deal Lisa realized Kurt didn't understand her situation at all but because of him she was now alive free from fear and loneliness for her Kurt was undoubtedly her savior Eisha couldn't stand watching Lisa cling to Kurt KH then told everyone to start heading back to the city however yurishia stopped them first since the s a party especially Sheena had already caught

a glimpse of Kurt's true potential eishia wanted Sheena close by to keep an eye on her eishia then asked Kurt for a favor and he readily agreed to help with anything he could seeing how eager he was Eisha worried about his future imagining someone might ask him for marriage especially with a certain hungry princess nearby getting ideas Eisha then mentioned that a new atellier was being established Kurt replied that he already knew about it from reading the Kingdom's newspaper Eisha was pleased and shared that she was heading up The Specialist Team of adventurers Kurt congratulated

her and Eisha invited him to work in the atellier with her his face brightened and he asked if she was certain yurishia assured him explaining that ofilia had personally recommended him after his great work at her Workshop Kurt was happy to hear this but hesitated concerned about leaving the Sakura party behind K and danzo told him not to worry about them yurishia added that they were still under staffed and could use a few adventurers she extended the invitation to the Sakura party as well promising a generous reward though it wasn't specified the three adventurers were

surprised Sheena stayed quiet but KH and danzo exchanged a glance saying it was the best offer they could have hoped for yurishia felt relieved that the new Arrangements were settled as for Kurt she and mimo wanted to keep him close for his protection while Lisa and ofilia intended to use him to attract those plotting against Lisa their goals aligned but Eisha felt guilty for not being honest Kurt wouldn't just work at the atellier he would actually be the atellier Meister watching Kurt and the others looking so pleased made her feel even worse about the secret

then Khan's noticed Sheena was unusually quiet she said she was fine and offered to scout ahead KH asked Eisha to understand his sister saying she might be unsettled from seeing the Iron Golems Eisha agreed she told the others that the Golems had killed each other although only she and Sheena knew Kurt had actually taken them down alone back in the city Kurt received his share of the reward from the quest Eisha reminded everyone they would leave the next morning the men wanted to celebrate their new job but Sheena told them to clean up first Kurt

was happy to work with them again while they waited for the others Eisha saw a chance to make Kurt take the aptitude test however Kurt worried about the agency being busy lately and since it was already late he thought the agency would be closed and he couldn't take the test lease then spoke up saying that as an atellier Meister he had a noble privilege so the agency couldn't refuse him Kurt looked confused explaining that he wasn't the atellier Meister just someone working under one Le and Eisha quickly corrected him saying the privilege also applied to

members Eisha added that there wouldn't be an agency in the next city where he could take the test as Eisha scolded Lisa K and danzo urged Kurt to take the test instead of just waiting realizing he had been wanting to take the aptitude test for non-combat skills Kurt decided to go ahead with it soon Kell greeted Kurt and was happy to see him again she was glad he was managing well with his jobs Kurt remembered feeling embarrassed when Kell had tested him for combat related skills and his scores had been low Kell then led him

to a room where mimiko waited mimiko greeted him and Kurt was surprised to see that the examiner looked like someone his age mimiko introduced herself as Kurt's examiner for the non-combat aptitude test Kurt doubted whether mimiko was a professional given that she looked younger than him however he quickly realized she was the court magician he'd heard about mimo confirmed this and yurishia mentioned that mimo had also appraised the ores he had dug up she whispered to him not to be deceived by mimo's youthful appearance mimiko overheard and asked Eisha what she me by that mimo

then explained that she'd been eager to meet Kurt after ofilia praised him and seeing the ores he found she told him not to be nervous reassuring him they were all friends through ofilia and yurishia Kurt was surprised and asked if yurishia really thought of him as a friend yurishia seemed a bit taken aback and asked if Kurt didn't want to be friends Kurt quickly exclaimed he'd be thrilled to be her friend just then lisay joined in asking if she could be friends with Kurt as well Kurt happily agreed though Lisa secretly hoped for something more

than friendship mimo and yurishia were in dis belief at what they were witnessing while Kurt felt Overjoyed to have friends and new teammates since leaving his village later Kurt anxiously awaited his non-combat aptitude test results mimo soon announced them he'd achieved a b rank in cleaning cooking and Mining while everything else was rated C rank Kurt was shocked to hear he'd scored B's and C's hearing his excited shout Lisa and yurishia asked about his results Kurt eagerly shared them with yurishia hardly able to believe it himself and thanked God for his Good Fortune Lisa then

told them to head to the tavern to meet the Sakura party Eisha told them to go on ahead giving Lisa the chance to cling to Kurt she pulled him outside clearly trying to get closer and deepen their relationship Eisha couldn't believe what she was witnessing a noble was seriously pursuing a commoner mimo suggested Lisa might even consider being a mistress which made Eisha ask what she meant with the two women now alone Eisha thanked mimo for tricking Kurt with the test results mimo explained that the work agency's aptitude rankings could only measure from G to

SS with anything higher marked as Trip s meaning immeasurable yurishia realized what mimo was hinting at mimo then confirmed that Kurt had a trip S rank in all categories on top of that Kurt's latent magical power far exceeded hers but since he had no natural talent in using magic he wouldn't be able to cast spells at all mimo was relieved she had personally done the test for Kurt it would have been risky if someone else had learned about his abilities however they hadn't noticed that Kell was still in the room covering her ears with her

hands yurishia quickly grabbed her and asked if her ears felt cold mimo leaned toward Kell's ear repeating Kurt's impressive abilities and stressing that it would be dangerous if this information got out she also hinted at something bad happening to Kurt if word spread Kell quickly insisted she hadn't heard a thing vowing to keep the secret to her grave meanwhile at the church of pan marleus looked Grim as she tried to leave the building she had been excommunicated for reasons unknown to her and couldn't believe it especially after everything she'd done for the church's reputation however

she had recently attacked some civilians over minor dispute just then someone called her over and informed her that the bishop wanted to see her marleus smiled assuming that Tristan the current Bishop would listen to her please because he valued her greatly she was led to a room glimmering with gold in every direction leaving her speechless Tristan greeted her with a literal golden smile his teeth coated in Gold marleus complimented his impressive room and Tristan offered her some wine she was surprised noting the wine was from a rival country Tristan admitted it was made by Heretics

but loved its taste nonetheless he offered her a cup then corrected himself referring to her as the future Priestess marleus was shocked and wondered if she had heard him correctly Tristan explained that he valued her highly and could Overlook the minor crime she committed she accepted the wine and realized that the bishop seemed to be colluding with other priests pleased by her quick Insight Tristan asked her to fulfill a request as the future Priestess using Kurt's favorite phrase marleus agreed to do anything Tristan then ordered her to assassinate the Kingdom's thirdd princess liselot marleus couldn't

believe what she just just heard and fell to her knees not from shock but because the wine had been spiked Tristan reassured her that the poison wouldn't kill her but would make her unable to eat causing her to starve he promised to end her suffering if she completed the task gritting her teeth in Anger marleus swore to complete the mission for Tristan deciding to play the obedient servant and endure meanwhile the usual group traveled by Carriage with Khan's feeling unwell not for motion sickness but a hangover he didn't want to be scolded as he'd been

drinking to entertain yurishia urish remarked that the wine tasted wonderful watching her brother flirt Sheena delivered a punch to KH causing him to vomit everything he'd eaten again yurishia was relieved to see Sheena starting to feel better though she could still sense some distrust in her gaze Kurt then noticed something familiar about the city walls they were approaching after taking a closer look he realized they were the same walls he had repaired before Eisha noticed Kurt looking worried and asked him what was wrong Kurt explained that he had failed in his previous job however he

observed that the repair work on the wall had been extend ended Kurt wondered if an earthquake had occurred while Eisha remembered how quickly Kurt usually finished his tasks once they were inside yurishia confirmed that Kurt had completed two sides of the wall on his own she suggested that the workers might be using a different method than Kurt Kurt guessed they were reinforcing the wall to withstand an attack by 14 dragons Eisha knew Kurt was misunderstanding something as they entered through the gates Lisa explained that the place had once been a fortress but was now being

transformed into a Frontier Town it didn't yet have a name or governor and since it was close to demon territory the military was running it as a Frontline Town it received support not only from their country but also from Allied Nations the goal of establishing an atellier with an atellier Meister was to help the town grow Kurt assumed the newly appointed atellier Meister was someone important unaware that it was actually him in her thoughts yurishia believed that the curse couldn't strike again in a distant place unless someone dared to approach and attack again Shea watched

Eisha suspiciously realizing how easily she and her group were drawn to Eisha it wasn't just because Eisha was kind enough to hire them she was likely keeping them close to prevent any information about Kurt and the cave incident from leaking Sheena knew they were dealing with unusual people and she found Kurt particularly intimidating just then they reached their destination and Kurt pointed it out to Sheena she responded coldly and walked away noticing a large construction site she followed the others through a wide curtain and was shocked to see an expansive plot of land the men

worried about starting construction from scratch since they had little experience aware of this Eisha asked Kurt to build the atellier himself the men were concerned for Kurt but Eisha ignored them and left everything including the design up to him the men doubted Kurt's architectural skills but he claimed he knew a bit about it Sheena couldn't believe what she was hearing Kurt said he could build a log housee in a day but a more refined one would take 3 days the men remained confused and yurishia promised to explain later she then asked Kurt what materials he

needed and he gave her an extensive list Sheena peaked at the list and noticed amethyst Ruby and Sapphire among the items she doubted they could gather the amounts he specified and she began to suspect they were involved in something shady she was sure the other two wouldn't be convinced to leave Kurt alone Eisha then instructed Kurt to ask the inkeeper for meals but Kurt hesitated feeling it would be an imposition Eisha urged him to take care of himself and not skip meals she apologized to the others for the wait and offered to take them to

the in Sheena then resolved to do something bold planning to let her brother and danzo Escape later at the in every everyone sat down to talk Sheena noticed no one else was around and quickly asked about Kurt and what had happened in the cave KH asked what she meant and Sheena confessed that it was Kurt who defeated all the Iron Dragon Golems danzo seemed like he had an idea but K looked confused Sheena explained that Kurt took down the iron golems with just a knife Khan said that was impossible since Kurt couldn't even kill a

slime but danzo patted him on the back Sheena then asked who Kurt and the others really were yurishia decided to explain she revealed that she was an ex- adventurer who used to work directly for the royal family after her Lisa introduced herself fully showing her royal dagger as proof that she was the third princess of the kingdom when they saw the Royal Family's emblem the Sakura party tried to show respect but Lisa asked them to stop and treat her normally as she was in hiding K's guessed that Kurt might also be someone important but yurishia

reassured them that Kurt was neither Royal nor Noble she admitted she didn't know much about him except that his combat aptitude was ranked G but in all other skills he measured at Triple S rank KH now understood why someone as small as Kurt could do so much even if it sounded unbelievable Sheena reminded everyone that Kurt had actually defeated the iron golems and had casually referred to it as mining not fighting Lisa then intervened saying she wouldn't stop them from leaving if they found the story too absurd she looked to danzo their leader to hear

his decision Sheena suggested they should leave since it was too much for them to handle after some thought danzo gave K a silent look k then hugged Sheena quieting her danzo asked Lisa to continue their discussion Lisa confessed that her life had been in danger she admitted that she should have died already but Kurt had cured her curse with a simple bowl of porridge Kurt didn't know her real identity nor had she asked for his help still he knew about her curse and treated her without asking for anything in return she felt obligated to repay

his kindness Eisha commented on how Kurt was a genuinely nice person admitting that he had no idea about everything they just shared with the party Sheena snapped insisting that Kurt needed to learn some self-awareness especially after after he defeated the iron golems and simply called it mining she worried that his skewed sense of normaly would mislead or even harm others in the future fearing that people would take advantage of him in her view they were just using Kurt for their own benefit Eisha admitted she understood sheena's concerns since she herself had only known Kurt for

6 days everyone fell silent surprised when the Sakura party members assumed Eisha and Kurt had known each other for years yurishia then burst out saying she'd been wrestling with the same thoughts for days she wanted wanted Kurt to gain some self-awareness so she wouldn't constantly have to worry this opened the others eyes and they began to sympathize with her Eisha apologized explaining that this was the only way to keep others from discovering and exploiting Kurt's unique abilities she wanted to protect both Kurt and Lisa and asked for the Sakura party's help Lisa personally requested they

join the team asking them to support Kurt not as a princess but as his friend danzo reminded them he was an adventurer not a knight who obeyed Royal orders he said he'd only pledge his loyalty to the knew aier Meister once he deemed them worthy but he admitted that Kurt was already a trusted comrade and they couldn't just stand by and ignore his situation K agreed and asked who exactly they were supposed to protect yurishia was relieved that Kurt had such good friends and revealed that Kurt was the atellier M she clarified that Kurt himself

didn't know this yet the group was stunned and Sheena grew even angrier feeling he had been deceived she walked away saying she needed some fresh air and KH advised yurishia not to worry suggesting they give his sister space outside Sheena wrestled with her feelings about Kurt's situation she went to check on him and found surprising progress on the atelier's construction baffled she asked if Kurt had done all the work himself Kurt replied that his mining was B ranked though Sheena doubted it beginning to understand eisha's worries Kurt noticed something was bothering her and asked why

she had come Sheena confessed she wished Kurt were less naive fearing that if left alone others would exploit his talents since he didn't even know the truth about himself she told him about her frightening experience in the cave admitting she could have died Kurt responded that he wouldn't know what to do if anything happened to her which astonished Sheena as he didn't seem to think of himself first feeling she had no other option Sheena decided she had to protect him because after all they were comrades the next morning Sheena realized that danzo was missing KH

explained that danzo had gone back to samella to check on veano shortly after Kurt knocked on their doors announcing he would return to the atellier K offered to assist him though Sheena doubted Kurt needed any help since Lisa and iisha had already gone out for supplies Sheena asked KH what they should do for the day KH suggested they explore the town to get familiar with it meanwhile danzo sat quietly on a bench until an information broker approached him she informed him that veano was a scoundrel who often put his team in dangerous situations only to

claim all the rewards if they failed she handed him a document with the rest of the information the broker who danzo knew well asked him not to hold any resentment against her and hoped he would trust her the document revealed that veano was nicknamed the faces and included a list of teams he had sabotaged she explained that the client was a business rival of venox whose quests often overlapped with his danzo didn't hesitate to pay bandana for her help she thanked him and left as if nothing had happened just then a Coachman stopped his Carriage

nearby and asked danzo if he was headed towards samella elsewhere venok was forcing a woman to drink with him he was already celebrating expecting a large payment soon he seemed pleased to hear that danzo and the others had survived and even joined the team associated with the new atellier Meister veano had something planned against them just then danzo appeared as a surprised customer making vevano Panic danzo noticed vevano looked well and asked how much he was earning this time vevano stammered unable to answer clearly danzo shot him a death glare and vevano bolted in fear

danzo apologized to the waitress and covered the bill vevano dashed into a nearby alley but tripped over a wire someone had set up panicked and on the ground he watched as danzo caught up to him danzo revealed he had suspected something was wrong ever since they ran into into the goblin Colony believing a clever person like vevano wouldn't have missed the knight's drill warning vevano insisted he had no idea and begged for forgiveness calling them comrades danzo sneered calling vevano pathetic and mocking him with his nickname realizing he'd been caught venok called danzo a fool

for being tricked all along and taunted him for pretending to be a comrade un sheathing his sword danzo swore he wouldn't let Sheena and Kurt end up in the same situation he told vevano to die and swung his sword at his neck but danzo stopped his blade an inch from veano's neck causing vevano to faint from shock danzo sighed and walked away bandana who had watched everything thought it was Troublesome thato had been left alive just then robed figures appeared to retrieve the unconscious vevano bandana recognized them as the Phantoms a shadowy group under mimo's

command she wondered if they already knew about veano's schemes suddenly a courier Crow delivered a letter to her reading it she was shocked to see that marleus had fallen so far and now looked as cursed as leas deciding not to interfere with her master bandana made plans to head to Kurt's Hometown even though it was far away meanwhile marleus was seen vomiting in a hallway she looked lifeless as she stared out the window she knew that the third princess was in town and that she had to kill her soon after danzo returned to the unnamed

Frontier City Sheena asked how things went with vevano and danzo simply replied that the guy had left their party saying he wasn't interested in their new job Khan felt a bit disappointed knowing veano's Courier skills were topnotch Sheena didn't mind at all as she thought of vevano as a flirt anyway danzo then remembered how bandana had told him that veano's client had learned about the failed task at least now they wouldn't have problems with double booked quests yurishia then checked in and noticed everyone was present she announced they would go see the new atellier everyone

was left speechless and Eisha asked what was wrong KH asked if it was really finished and danzo mentioned it had only been 3 days Eisha assured them Not only was it finished but it would also be a thousand times better than anything they'd imagined she told them to get ready they all walked out of the inn and Sheena asked if they really needed to prepare meanwhile danzo felt guilty for not helping with the construction Ura reassured them it was fine when they reached their destination they were surprised to see a gate with a small garden

just beyond it yurishia started to panic telling everyone to stay calm but Sheena turned the advice back on her even danzo and K were shocked at how much had changed so much that even the style seemed different Lisa was thrilled calling it a perfect love nest for her and Kurt Eisha led the group group and opened the gates inside stood an impressive Mansion complete with a fountain and an elegant Garden everyone was too a struck to speak for a moment the main door opened and Kurt appeared to greet them Eisha asked if he'd really finished

it all within 3 Days Kurt smiled and apologized for taking so long with a bright grin he announced that the atellier was officially complete with all the new things they'd learned K couldn't help but feel as if they were dreaming Sheena noticed a peach tree in the garden already bearing fruit which surprised her asked again if they were truly awake and danzo agreed it felt unbelievable they could hardly believe they were now living in a mansion instead of the modest Workshop they' originally imagined Just 4 days earlier they had been homeless Kurt however worried that

the Mansion might not be impressive enough for the Princess Lisa tried to shout in excitement but yurishia quickly stopped her reminding her to act like her ordinary self yurishia reassured Kurt telling him she was sure the princess would be pleased Kurt then took everyone on a tour inside the mansion he mentioned there were two basement levels which confused Sheena because she'd only noticed one level a few days earlier Kurt jokingly suggested he might cover up the extra level but Eisha stopped him as they explored Eisha noticed a light that wasn't from a flame Kurt explained

that it was powered by a Magic Stone he had created and would last for at least a year they soon arrived at the second basement level which Kurt had transformed into a spacious room everyone was shocked by how large it was Kurt explained that he had used the entire land area not just the building area the members of the Sakura party were left speechless suddenly Kurt offered them tea thinking they might feel uncomfortable due to the air circulation underground Eisha hoped they would manage as this was only the beginning of the tour Sheena then apologized

to Eisha for her previous words and danzo and K also expressed their wish to face challenges together moving forward Eisha felt happy knowing they had finally become true comrades Kurt pleased to see them all getting along was about to continue when Lisa told him to ignore them and keep showing her around in the basement's first floor there was a sewing room training room dressing room and a bathroom a precious stone in the room supplied water for the bath and the fountain outside lease claimed she had provided the stone and Kurt thanked her for it Eisha

told the others it was a National Treasure level Stone Kurt promised to return it once he found a sapphire on his own but Lisa didn't mind supplying more if needed the others were shocked by how casually the two treated such a valuable item in the semi basement Kurt had set up there was an office room on the first floor he arranged a the dining room kitchen and reception room each floor also had several open rooms he could remodel as needed KH was slowly adapting to Kurt's surprising actions and though Eisha said the same she still

felt surprised every time Kurt then LED them to the second floor where he had already prepared beds and furniture for each person Sheena was delighted to learn they each had their own rooms as she found it inconvenient to share space with others the room was perfect for her and Kurt had even made the beds from Griffin feathers he'd received from yurishia the girls enjoyed the softness of the bedding while the guys wondered how much such luxurious materials might cost little did they know Kurt's surprises were far from over yurishia suggested they decide on which rooms

to use Kurt asked when the atellier meister and the princess would arrive since he had already prepared their room Lisa was pleased to hear he'd especially readied her room but Eisha told her to keep quiet and suggested using the middle room among the three adjacent ones Lisa in frustration asked if Eisha was purposely keeping her from the room Kurt had made lovingly for her Eisha told her to stop with the bloody tears and explained to Kurt that the atellier meister and Princess were too busy to come she then asked danzo to take the room next

to Lisa's while she would use the other one Sheena and K also chose their rooms Kurt pointed to the room he'd prepared for the atellier meister and Princess leaving no room for himself on that floor KH then asked where Kurt's room would be and he explained he'd set one up next to the kitchen Under the Stairs everyone exclaimed that this wasn't acceptable and urged him to use the atellier meister's room but Kurt declined Eisha assured him it would be fine since the atellier Meister was too busy to come and it would be a shame to

Let It Go unused danzo suggested they all stay close in case anything happened the whole team spent two hours convincing Kurt and he finally agreed though he felt pressured and insisted he would move out once the atellier Meister arrived next they needed to move their things from the Inn to the mansion Eisha asked Kurt to handle her belongings since she had to go meet the neighbors and the military personnel managing the Frontier City She also asked for another favor setting up a barrier around the Mansion to repel curses Kurt apologized explaining that it would be

too difficult to set up such a barrier and Eisha accepted this asking again about his belongings with no other option she decided to use the anti- cursed Talisman she'd received from mimo instead meanwhile a familiar man was pleased to see the walls finally completed a man named generic addressed him as general and expressed disappointment that he wouldn't be seeing General aru ardun anymore aru thanked generic for stepping in as a substitute General and generic was relieved to pass the responsibility back he then asked why the North and westall were perfectly straight while the south and

east walls looked normal aru thought of a particular boy and asked generic if he'd believe those walls were built in just 3 days generic doubted it but assumed aru and his men must have focused especially on the north and west sides because of the demon attacks aru thought about that too he had personally come to the Frontier Town to look out for potential spies among the contract workers but had instead found Kurt someone he could hire as their own spy auu believed Kurt's Talent shouldn't be hidden away in a small nameless Frontier town just then

a soldier reported that yurishia had arrived representing the new atellier in town aru was surprised to hear that an ex-royal adventurer was now working for an atellier and generic found it hard to believe that an atellier was setting up shop in a Frontier Town yurishia appeared and greeted aru though generic quickly tried to charm her aru instructed him to stop or face serious consequences Eisha explained she came by to greet them now that the atellier had settled in when aru asked if the princess and the atellier Meister were present yurishia said they were overseas she

lied even though aru was trustworthy because there might be enemies nearby aru and Eisha then wished each other luck as they prepared to work together to develop the Frontier City meanwhile a Sinister Bishop watched with a smirk as a woman cast an ominous spell back in the church in another part of the Frontier City a woman with a familiar set of melons rode in a carriage mimo advised ofilia to stay calm and informed her they would reach their Hideout soon the curse Sorcerer And The Mastermind behind Lisa's assassination would soon face ofilia wrath that night

yurishia walked back to the atellier a girl approached her handing over a paper she claimed Eisha had dropped Eisha didn't recognize it as hers and before she could ask the girl disappeared inspecting the paper Eisha realized it was a map from mimo suggesting she visit a hideout still she chose to leave it for tomorrow returning to the Inn she found danzo sitting outside the room Kurt had set up for the princess he reported that Lisa insisted on using the room so Eisha couldn't for now she asked danzo to rest telling him she'd take over inside

the room Eisha admired its elegance and Lisa couldn't hide her own admiration either Eisha reminded her to use the center bedroom but Lisa resisted unwilling to give up the room Kurt had specially prepared for her yisha found her insistence endearing and suggested she sleep in the middle of the bed rather than a corner Lisa declined explaining she was leaving space just in case Kurt visited her that night irritated yurishia laid down on the vacant space meant for him expressing how tired tired she was Lisa patted her head complimenting her hard work yurishia mentioned that danzo

had been guarding outside earlier despite his claim that he wouldn't serve a princess Lisa feeling apologetic wanted to make up for the trouble yurishia assured her not to worry they'd keep her safe but advised staying cautious she then pasted a Talisman on the wall one of the anti- curs Talisman she'd received from mimo they were written in a Magic ink that wouldn't fade or wash away Eisha planned to put them around the Mansion before resting on the sofa in the Next Room remembering something Lisa showed her a small room for an attendant next to the

princess's quarters impressed by Kurt's thoughtfulness yurishia decided to use it meanwhile in a darkened room a cloaked figure angrily discussed the timing of casting another curse on the princess another voice blamed the first for the previous failure but mentioned that the bishop had a backup plan they exchanged a few more words before deciding to wait for updates nearby a woman lay on a bed with a strange tool resembling an IV transfusion slowly dripping something into her bloodstream the next morning U grunted as she rolled over in bed she caught a familiar delicious scent it was

CT's honey toasts realizing she'd slept longer than usual because of the soft bed she got up scolding herself for being so careless she noticed Lisa was missing from her bed so she rushed out of the room and found Kurt he greeted her warmly and presented breakfast for the day Eisha was surprised but wanted to know where Lisa had gone just then Lisa appeared wearing what looked like a naked apron style outfit asking Kurt where to put the next dish shocked by the sight yish angrily asked what Lisa was wearing she quickly covered Kurt's eyes and

demanded why he seemed so calm Kurt replied that it had been surprising at first but it now looked like a casual outfit to him Eisha asked just how poor Kurt's sense of common decency was Lisa then clarified that Eisha was misunderstanding something the princess was actually wearing shorts and a cropped top under the apron Eisha complained about how misleading Lisa's outfit was just then danzo K and Sheena entered the dining room they paused briefly then turned and left closing the door behind them Lisa clung to Sheena exclaiming that they practically wore the same thing Sheena

disagreed meanwhile outside danzo and KH wondered if they'd be executed on the first day of their job Lisa turned sulky during meal time after Eisha scolded her everyone else enjoyed the meal that Kurt had prepared early that morning they assumed Kurt must have woken up early and spent a lot of time on the food before them however Eisha knew it had only taken him a short while Kurt then asked everyone to enjoy their meal as he went off to clean something Eisha told him to clean up after eating but Kurt insisted on removing some graffiti

he' noticed on the walls and promised to be quick Eisha allowed him to go returning to enjoy her meal while wondering how long their peaceful days would last moments after Kurt left Eisha realized something was off she went around the mansion and noticed a few something were missing then she found Kurt near a door busy erasing the anti- cursed Talisman she had pasted on the walls yurishia was speechless and dropped to the floor in defeat something so important was being wiped away like random graffiti on a wall confused Kurt asked who had drawn the graffiti

especially the many markings he discovered in Lisa's room resigned Eisha told him there was a graffiti monster in town who sometimes Drew in random places shocked Kurt was genuinely worried about this mysterious monster yurishia reassured him that the Sakura party would make sure the premises were secure and Kurt felt relieved to hear that yurishia visited mimo and asked if the anti- curs Talisman would really stay intact mimo confidently confirmed it would then yurishia pulled out some bread Kurt had made for her lunch mimo and ofilia were instantly drawn to its delicious smell Eisha asked what

they should do and mimo replied that Kurt would probably just erase the Talisman again yurishia suggested they visit the atellier to take action but mimo warned that they risked exposure by doing so just then teacups filled with tea appeared on the table yurishia requested that mimo at least make the Phantoms visible when serving tea mimo explained she hadn't told them to act invisible but promised to make them guard the atellier surroundings however until they identified the enemy the Phantoms couldn't move freely although they still hadn't figured out who the enemy was they needed to act

before the enemy did ofilia proposed luring the enemy out adding that as long as Kurt stayed close to Lisa when she was cursed he could cure her with some porridge mimo though surprised that Kurt had easily dispelled her anti- curse talismans agreed with ofilia plan and began to think of other Solutions knowing Kurt could lift curses with porridge Eisha wasn't shocked that he could erase talismans as if they were just graffiti she suspected he might have done even more incredible things without her knowing mimiko then ended the meeting promising to update them on their plan

and requesting that yurishia and the Sakura party help guard the Mansion Eisha asked if they could trust generic and mimo agreed to investigate suddenly opilia made a strange sound causing mimo and Eisha to look over opilia then declared that the bread had vanished the room fell silent at her absurd claim opilia exclaimed that she wasn't too late to bring Kurt to her atellier to which mimo angrily responded saying she had already missed her chance to act that is the end of the recap at chapter 17 please read the pinned comment about the next part
