A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

Episode 174 – It’s Already Annoying, but It’s Even More Annoying

“Well, I want you to hurry up and bring him. If you don’t, I’m going to feel a little bad.”

There was a reason why I mentioned so directly that I was not in a good mood.

‘I wish I could bring him here quickly. After all, today is a limited quantity dessert sale…’

That’s because I realized a little while ago that today was a very important day to sell a limited number of desserts.

If someone hears this, they might laugh and ask, “What kind of after-dinner snacks are we selling in limited quantities?”

The reason I was interested in the dessert being sold today was that it was the type of dessert sold throughout the ‘Bregern Empire’.

Naturally, it was better to obtain and eat this type of dessert when it was available.

‘Bregern Empire-style dessert sold by Elpario Empire’.

The more you hear this, the more enjoyable it is, and the more you think about it, the sweeter it becomes.

However, there was one thing to worry about.

‘There is a big difference between El Pario imperial dessert and Bregern imperial dessert, but how are they made?’

I have a question here.

Bregern Imperial Dessert is a single item that solves everything with just one dessert.

El Pario Imperial Dessert is a combination method of enjoying two or more desserts combined.

What this means is that the desserts made in the Bregern Empire allow you to experience multiple flavors and textures at the same time in one dessert.

For example, a typical whipped cream cake is made by putting well-whipped cream on soft bread moistened with syrup and finishing it off with sugar or honey-prepared fruit.

When moist bread, sweet and soft cream, and fresh fruit with a subtle sweetness come together in your mouth, paradise unfolds in your mouth.

Unlike this, the desserts of the El Pario Empire are made by placing decorations on top of the base dessert.

The dessert I ate before or after the entrance exam could be said to be an example of such a dessert.

The dessert of the El Pario Empire was bread made with butter and sugar that remained soft over time and served with jam or marmalade.

Maybe that’s why the number of people enjoying desserts was somewhat higher in the Elpario Empire than in the Bregern Empire.

In the Bregerne Empire, desserts are considered the exclusive preservation of nobles and wealthy people.

On the contrary, in the El Pario Empire, even commoners could enjoy their own desserts if they spent a little bit.

I couldn’t decide which of the two countries’ desserts were better or worse.

Anyone who truly loves desserts should respect the desserts of both countries, which have developed in different directions.

It’s my personal opinion, but I think that ignorant people who only recognize desserts they like should not eat desserts.

There should be desserts that develop into other types, so wouldn’t the type of desserts I like be inspired by them or develop a sense of challenge and develop in a better direction?

Anyway, you should never miss today’s limited edition dessert.

In any case, it was clear that the old man here was not the author of the book I had read.

Then there aren’t that many choices I can make.

Either they bring the real author, or they make an appointment to meet again on a day other than today.

“It’s different from what you promised. Why didn’t you bring the real author?”

I asked the executive committee member, Damran.

“Hmm. That’s just…”

When I asked him the whole story, Damran’s expression gradually hardened and he let his words slip.

I know this atmosphere very well.

Even when I lived as Alberto, I experienced this often.

The person who had a stiff expression on his face like that and blurted out his words had something insidious planned behind his back

“Because this was not the place to introduce you to the author of the book in the first place.”

Look, I’m just like the leftover apples lying on the side of the road.

“What on earth do you mean? Did I do something wrong to you?”

I politely asked Damran a question while trying to maintain a smile.

To be honest, I don’t think I did anything wrong to him.

“Wrong? There are many faults. You shed too much blood.”

Now that I see that he doesn’t even pretend to show respect and even speaks informally, maybe this person’s nature is closer to this.

“What kind of blood was shed?”

What I can’t understand now is that too much blood was lost.

What kind of blood are you talking about? Bandit? Highwaymen? Or a criminal organization?

Or else, a monster?

“Perhaps… “

“I know you well. You were once called the White Reaper, right?”

Hmm? What. Aren’t there a few people who know this?

No, now you know my old name.

I looked at Damran and said.

“How did you know that?”

How on earth did I find out the name I used during my mercenary days?

There will be very few people who know my identity.

No, since I was active enough to earn a nickname, there are probably quite a few people who know something about my identity.

Well, if that’s the case, it’s not like I don’t understand that he knows my nickname.

“Let’s just say that a helper from our organization helped us. Do you know how many of our comrades died at the hands of you?”

What came out of Damran’s mouth was the name of a group called an organization.

Probably, Damran and her assistant belong to that organization.

But I can’t help but wonder, is this guy’s comrades in the organization dying by my hands?

No, this is the sound of a dragon picking a tree and picking it.

In the first place, I never dealt with people while working as a mercenary.

Eliminating monsters while killing people allows you to make more money, so why take the risk of killing people?

Additionally, being a mercenary does not necessarily mean killing people.

I only kill when dealing with innocent criminals or wanted criminals.

And the rule is to capture most of them alive.

They are killed only in situations where capture is not feasible, and not all dogs or criminals are killed.

So, I had nothing to say to answer Damran’s question.

“No, I don’t know.”

I honestly said I didn’t know.

Since I don’t think the situation will get any worse if I pretend to know when I don’t know, I thought it would be better to be honest first.

“Hey, hey, hey! Are you making fun of me!”

However, my choice ultimately caused Damran’s anger.

The guy ran wild and looked like he was going to rip me to death at any moment.

Hmm. If you look at it like this, that guy looks quite ugly.

It’s pitiful. Is that why I get angry easily?

“Me? You? Why?”

“Ik, how many of our comrades died at your hands, how can you say you don’t know that!”

No, it’s so unfair I’m dying.

No, I don’t know.

In the first place, I never killed anyone while working as a mercenary!

“In all my years as a mercenary, I have never killed anyone?”

“Don’t lie!”

“Yes. There are people who have broken off a limb or two and made them half sick, but at most there are only about four or five people.”

Actually, there are about ten people.

But, he wasn’t dead, and later he called a therapist and healed everything and reconciled.

Where on earth can they say that I killed someone?

Well, I really don’t know even if I know the world.

“It’s a lie again!”

“Yes, actually, I made about 10 people sick. But I cured them all?”

“Whoa, words don’t make sense.”

That’s what I want to say.

No, I don’t know where on earth they catch a live person like this, but I felt like I was going to faint first from exhaustion if this continued.

First, I quickly checked what I had brought, and fortunately, there was a butter knife in my pocket.

In any case, you will have to run away, and if a pursuer comes along in the process, you can defeat the pursuer and pick up the weapon that person has and use it.

“Attack!”

“Huh?”

No, you didn’t even say you were going to attack, but suddenly attacked you?

What a reward! But that doesn’t mean I’m going to panic.

“To kill you, I brought out my best power today.”

“Ah, yes…”

Damran said he brought out his best power to kill me.

Then, people dressed in black and with their faces covered with masks appeared in the alleys and various buildings.

However, the energy felt from them was extremely weak.

No matter how well you play, you’re only a top-level Auror user?

It felt clear to me that I didn’t make it to the expert level.

“They are all top-level Auror users.”

I took out a butter knife and told them of their skills.

Then I saw some of the masked people flinch.

I guess I’m not a professional.

“Hmph, we all know that you are a sword expert. That’s why we prepared it. Everyone, drink it!”

At Damran’s words, the masked people took out a glass bottle from their arms, opened the lid, and drank the contents.

“Big!”

“Whoo, whoo, whoa!”

The masked people started screaming and emitting a huge amount of energy.

Considering that the weakest energy was at the level of Sword Expert, it seemed to be a drug that explodes a person’s potential and gives them a power higher than their original level.

“Now, who is at a greater disadvantage? One Sword Expert and twenty Auror Experts. Now it’s time for you to bury your bones here.”

Damran looked triumphant as she saw that the people she had brought with her had become stronger.

“I won’t talk too much. Hurry up and attack me. I’ll take them all down.”

When I made a provocation, twenty masked men with drawn weapons rushed towards me, and the battle began.
