Currently, Souta was in the room that Jusmin prepared. Lumilia asked Jusmin to prepare a room for everyone here. They were inside one of the houses beside the mansion.
Brianna gave a task to Tidor and John to guard Lumilia's room. They changed places every three hours so that the other people could rest.
While staring outside through the window, Souta heard a knock on the door of his room. He turned his head and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Tidor. Souta, it's time." Tidor said behind the door.
Souta immediately understood it when Tidor said those words. It means that Tidor and Jane's shift has finished and now it's Souta's time to be on guard duty. He will guard Lumilia's room and protect it from any possible intruder.
"Okay, just wait for a minute," Souta replied to Tidor before he pushed himself out of the bed. He fixed his clothes and he picked up the Vajra sword. He hung it on his waist before he opened the door.
He saw Tidor waiting for him outside the room. Yuko was sitting beside the door as her huge body couldn't fit inside the room, so she just stayed here outside the room. Souta felt pity when he saw her sleeping on the cold floor.
"So, how is it?" Souta asked Tidor as he patted Yuko's head to wake her up.
"Nothing strange. But it's too weird this way." Tidor replied to him with uncertainty. He doesn't have any idea what's going to happen in this place.
Souta looked around first before he said, "Yeah, we don't even know what's going to come here. Well, let's not worry about it. Let's just do our job."
"You're right, we will just smash everything that is in our way." Tidor nodded at him.
"I'll go now," Souta said to him.
"Okay, be careful." Tidor nodded his head.
Souta walked away and Yuko followed from behind. They were heading towards Lumilia's room. On their way, Souta spotted a lot of knights patrolling around the area.
'The security was tight and the knights have decent power level so what are they worried about.' Souta thought while looking at the knights. He could sense that these knights were stronger than the knights he fought in the Desolate Woods. Even he would be able to take them out on his own.
Is it because of the assassin? Did they manage to know who's behind that assassination? But even if they knew that that doesn't answer all the questions.
Souta has tons of questions that he wanted to know the answer for him to do better in this quest. Suddenly, an idea came into his mind.
'Maybe, it's about the other nobles. After all, Brianna said that a lot of people will visit the Asvares Family this week.' Souta thought as he rubbed his chin. If the other nobles were really involved in this, then this made this situation more complicated.
Since this was getting more complicated the more he thought about it, Souta shook his head and decided to remove those thoughts in his head. If those noble were going to come and prevent him from completing his quest, all he had to do was beat the shit out of them.
Thinking about this, Souta's mouth curved into a smile.
"Politics? I'll crush it with brute strength."
...
After a few seconds, Souta and Yuko arrived in front of Lumilia's room. Souta stood in front of the door and he slowly raised his hand before he knocked on the door.
"Class rep, it's my shift this time. I just wanted to let you know that I'm here." Souta said before he stood on the side.
Souta and Yuko were on duty at this time. The Gale Group treated Yuko as another person that's why Souta and Yuko were alone here. A two-man group of monsters.
Souta and Yuko stayed outside of Lumilia's room for three hours before Jane and Brianna exchanged places with him and Yuko. Nothing happened this time except for the patrolling knights that wandered in this area.
Souta wondered if the security here was really this tight. He went back to his room with Yuko.
...
Souta woke up early in the morning. After washing his face, Souta went out and met the Gale Group.
"Did something happen when I was asleep?" Souta asked Brianna.
"Nothing unusual happened," Brianna replied to him.
Souta nodded at her and said, "I'll go out to check somethings."
"Okay, we'll guard Miss Asvares in your place." Brianna nodded at him.
Souta and Yuko went to Lumilia. He said the same thing to her and Lumilia agreed. She didn't have any problem with him going out to the market.
...
In one of the rooms of the Asvares mansion...
A middle-aged man with long blue hair was standing in front of the window. He was a tall man and he had blue eyes that were staring at Lumilia's room through the window.
He was none other than the lord of this mansion, Ursus Von Asvares. Also, he's Lumilia's father.
He slowly opened his mouth and asked, "How're my children?"
Suddenly, a voice of a man replied to his question.
"They're fine my lord. The Vidrato, Burnfieth, and the Fryedim family will arrive soon."
"I really didn't think that Lumilia would incur the wrath of the nobles from Melosa Country," Ursus said and he paused for a moment before he continued, "It's been twenty years since we managed to repel Melosa's army. Really, what a timing Lumilia. Now that of all times."
"Then, what should we do my lord?" Someone asked Ursus in a polite tone.
"Right now, there's nothing we could do. The nobles here are pressuring us so that they could get a piece of that thing. They wanted us to sell it to them and they will help us in dealing with those nobles from the Melosa Country." Ursus massaged his temple as things were getting complicated this time. "Tighten our security and defend our treasury. Also, put some people to know what my children are doing."
"Understood my lord!" The person in the shadow said before it vanished.
Ursus sighed and said, "What a troublesome children I have? They only brought trouble to this family."
...
Souta and Yuko arrived in the market after walking for a few minutes. The shopping district in this city was larger than the one in Ladros City.
Souta observed the shopping district and thought that there's nothing wrong in this place. He also tried to find if someone was following him but he didn't discover any people that were following him.
'Ah~ class rep, why this complicated quest only has 3 skill points as a reward?'
He sighed and thought that he's putting thinking too much about Lumilia's problem. It's not his problem, to begin with. But well she's his friend so he will help her solve her problem with his power.
A lot of people in this place were giving Souta a glance. It was because of the Red Fur Bear behind him. It's like it was their first time seeing a tamer walking around like this.
"Yuko, ignore them," Souta said as he continued walking while looking around him. Then, Souta saw a coffee shop from the corner of his eyes. "Oh? Lucky. Let's go Yuko."
"Mu." Yuko followed him closely from behind.
Souta went inside the coffee shop and ordered one cup of coffee while Yuko waited outside the shop. He felt pity about Yuko because of her size she couldn't enter inside this place.
"If I'm the king of this kingdom. I will not let these people who build small doors. Yuko couldn't even go inside a coffee shop." Souta muttered to himself.
If he somehow became a king, then he will create a law that forbids people from building a small door. He doesn't want Yuko to always wait outside.
He then wondered if Yuko evolved maybe she will grow smaller. If she's smaller then it's good but if she grew larger than she is currently it would become a problem.
Souta rubbed his chin and muttered, "Maybe, it's time for me to create a summoning circle. After this quest, I will start finding the recipe to create it. Since I could learn all skills regardless of class, maybe it will work out."
If that really works, then Souta would be able to summon Yuko anytime he wanted like a proper tamer.
'Okay, I've decided that after this I will prioritize it more than anything for Yuko.' Souta laughed while rubbing his chin.
The other customer here in the cafe looked at him as if they were looking at an idiot. After all, they could hear that Souta was murmuring something.
After a few seconds, the waitress arrived in front of Souta and said, "Um... Sir..."
Souta snapped out of his thoughts when he heard someone talk to him. He looked up and saw the waitress with his order.
"Here's your order, sir." The waitress said with a professional smile and she placed his order on top of his table.
"Thanks." Souta thanked her before he took a sip of it. "Hmm... It's good but it couldn't match the one at Ladro Institute."
Suddenly, he heard a commotion outside the cafe. He quickly stood up when he heard a familiar roar.
"Yuko! That's Yuko's voice. Who the hell have the guts to disturb my Yuko?!" Souta's face contorted in anger. He accidentally crushed the cup of coffee that was in his hand due to his anger.
