7 06: Hot eyes on the back.txt




 It's been a week since Noelia made me combine my magic power without permission.

 I thought the fainting of the young lady of the frontier count who ruled the Huguja Notes would cause an uproar, but Noelia woke up from her fainting spell and stared at me without saying a word, and then left.

 Since then, I've been able to live the adventurer's life in Yuguha-Notes without any problems while living at the inn that Rebecca introduced me to.


 I'd like to think I'm doing OK.

 I'd like to think: .......


 As I waited at the counter to accept today's work, looking at the request form and waiting for yesterday's compensation to be settled, I could feel a feverish gaze piercing me from behind.


 There's nothing thorny to call it murderous, but that doesn't mean I can't feel the tenderness in his gaze.

 It can only be described as a hot stare that tingles and burns your back.


''Yes, that's forty ounces of yesterday's request achievement fee. For a rookie adventurer, Mr. Flick seems to know what a very solid request to earn.


 The one who placed in front of me the reward for the request I had accomplished yesterday was Rebecca, who had been appointed as my personal contact person for the matter of Noelia.


 Even though I changed my name to a new one, I was originally an adventurer, so I'm familiar with demons that are easy to defeat and requests that can be profitable, even if you're alone.

 Besides, I heard that the demons in the frontier were strong, but none of them were very strong at the level of requests to defeat them that can be received in the iron grade.


''Is that so? I'm just picking the ones I think I can do, at random.

A solid one for that is ......


 Rebecca looked at the list of requests I had received and tilted her head.


 If I continue to complete the requests as planned, the Bronze grade performance requirement should be achieved next month, so I should be able to hear about the promotion.

 The higher the grade, the more difficult the request will be, and the more rewards will increase.

 So life in the frontier, where the cost of living is cheaper than in King's Landing, is supposed to be more stable.


 The problem is not so much about that, but about the treatment of the person who is currently looking hot on my back .......


It's a good thing that you're able to do something with that thing ...... because it's being watched all the time. Yesterday, he even came into the inn and stayed in the next room.'


 I asked Rebecca, who was tilting her head at the list of requests I had accomplished, to do something about the owner of my gaze, with a hush in her voice.


''Ah, it's impossible! Noelia-sama is someone who had never once lost a match of magic power. Besides, she's the one who said that she can handle magic better than anyone else when it comes to magic. I'm sure she's just curious about Flick-sama, who has more magical power than she does. There's no real harm, and the Count of the Frontier has informed the guild master, 'Please don't mind my daughter's behavior,' so I won't be able to deal with it.'

But I can't stop thinking about it if someone is watching me 24/7 like this.


 When I glanced towards Noelia, who was giving me a heat gaze, she quickly hid behind a pillar.

 And then the hot gaze pierced my back again.


 The day after the magic match, Noelia's surveillance of me had begun.

 At first, I was just kept staring at him in the waiting room and reception area of the Adventurer's Guild.

 However, they gradually increased the amount of time they watched me while I was on the move and while defeating demons, and yesterday they even followed me to the inn.


 I thought he wanted to say something to me about the magic match, but when I try to talk to him, he runs away, and now he just hides by looking at me.

 Only to me, he was a selfish tyrant, and his life with Alfine had made him more sensitive to gaze and attention than anyone else.

 As such, I can't help but feel that I'm being watched at all times, and I can't help but feel that I'm being watched at all times.


I'm going to ask you to do something about that. If I try to talk to her, she runs away, and the same woman, Rebecca, can convince her to stop, right?'

''It's impossible! As long as Flick-sama is exceeding Noelia-sama's magical capacity, I'm sure he'll be monitored until he gets bored.''


 Rebecca smiled and refused to be persuaded by Noelia.


 I told her to talk to me if she had any problems, so I did. ......

 If I don't, I'm going to have to live in the same kind of tension as I did when I was living with Alfine.


 I turned my head towards Noelia again, but she still hid behind a pillar and didn't even try to meet my gaze.


''Whew, it can't be helped, ....... I suppose I'll take the opportunity to tell them to stop.


 I let out a sigh and decided to temporarily give up trying to convince Noelia.


'I think it's better that way. And as expected of Noelia-sama, I don't think she'll be able to continue for months. So, have you decided on today's request?''


 I put off taking measures against Noelia, who had no way to deal with her lack of action, and handed over a few demon defeats from the request form that Rebecca brought to earn today's food and achievements.


It's decided. I'm going to ask you to do this and this and this for today's request.

Yes, sir. Here's the certificate of acceptance. But you're still solid today, and you'll choose a request that has a high level of promotion assessment from the Adventurer's Guild. Are you, by any chance, experienced?


 Rebecca's gaze had changed to one that priced me out.

 It's not like I was a platinum grade in the King's Capital Adventurer's Guild.

 If I said that, they might find out that I was Fynn, and I couldn't dismiss the possibility that Alfine would fly in when she found out where I was.


 The only way for me to live a peaceful adventurer's life in the frontier is to play the role of Flick, a mere new adventurer.


'No way. Well, I'm off then.

'Oh! You're leaving already? Mr. Fricke, be safe!


 Before Rebecca pursued me, I decided to leave the window and head to the forest outside of Yuguhanotes, where the demon to be defeated was located.
