"Um... ..."

Hulim thought about it, then nodded.

"Very well then, Mr. Alec."

Seeing Hulim put the wallet away, Alec also smiled.

But then, he frowned again and said seriously:

"Hulim, I remember you were going to Manax School of Magic, right?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Hulim replied.

"Make way, make way—!"

When the guards escorting the thieves passed by, Hulim and his companions quickly moved to the side of the road.

Alec continued:

"Manax Magic Academy is in the capital, which means you still have more than half of your journey to go, but our mission has already ended here. This means... we can't continue with you."

"You're alone, so be careful on the road."

Hulim raised the wand in his hand.

"Don't worry, Mr. Alec, I'll be fine."

Alec couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

"I forgot that you are much stronger than you appear. Even if we really encounter a problem, I guess it will be the other party who suffers, right?"

"In that case, we can leave with peace of mind..."

"Hulim, see you again someday~!"

"... ...goodbye."

“… …”

Behind Alec, members of the Fang Squad waved goodbye.

"See you again sometime, Hulim!"

Alec also said so.

"See you again, everyone."

Hulim also waved his hand.

Alec smiled slightly, then turned and chased after his companions who had already left.

"Wait for me!"

"...York, is the loan you just mentioned true?"

"Ah? Well...it depends on your attitude."

"Really?! Then I beg you!"

"Wait, Alec, why don't you come and beg me? I promised to buy you a drink!"

“… …”

"What's that look in your eyes? Don't you believe me?! Wait, stop right there and explain yourself..."

The backs of the Fang Squad gradually disappeared into the distance, and Hulim withdrew her gaze.

"Next, it's time to find a hotel. Remember what Alec said, where there are more hotels..."

"Is that over there?"

After determining the direction, Hulim also took a step forward and merged into the endless flow of people in the city.
