"By the way, Yamen," Lu Ji put down his glass and said, "You're here, which means Master and the others are here too, right?"
"puff--!!!"
Monroe spat out a mouthful of wine.
"Cough! Cough cough!"
He wiped his mouth and looked around in panic.
"Master is here? Where, where?!"
"...Master's gone to see a friend and isn't here. Speaking of which, Brother Monroe, there's no need to act so guilty, right?"
"Really? That's good, that's good..." Monroe patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. "Wait a minute, I'm not guilty of anything. Don't talk nonsense."
“… …”
"Amen, when did you arrive?" Lu Ji continued to ask.
"We actually just arrived today. Alas, you don't know, brother."
"For so long, we've been living in the wilderness, sleeping in the open air every day. We've almost forgotten what it's like to sleep in a normal bed, and we're completely oblivious to what's happening in the outside world! Ah... Speaking of this—"
"Brother Lu Ji, can you tell me about your experiences and the current situation in the world?"
"Um... ..."
Luggie and Lor looked at each other.
"It's a long story to tell about our experience, but the most important thing today is..."
"That is the establishment of the Seven Sages."
"Seven Sages?" Yamen immediately became interested.
"What is that? Tell me!"
"To put it simply, it's the Seven Sages Conference, the world's highest institution. It represents the seven S-rank experts with the highest combat power in the world. Those seven are known as the Seven Sages."
"Eh? So Master is among them?"
"Of course, it's not just the Sword Master, our Tower Master is also among them."
"Tower Master?"
"...is the sage of today."
"Eh! Miss Lor, you're the sage's disciple?!"
"Hmph~, that's right!"
"And who else are the others?"
"The names of the Seven Sages are not made public. Aside from Master and the Sage Esmeron, the only ones we know are Mr. Filven and Miss Irus. The rest are known only by their names: King Immovable, Emperor Martial, and the newcomer, the Seven-Star Witch."
"Oh! That sounds amazing! Anything else?"
"Other..."
Before you know it.
Yamen chatted with Luji and others for a long time and had a grasp of the current situation of the coalition forces.
"...I see. I didn't expect the advance corps to have been defeated. No wonder the crisis was suddenly resolved at that time. This generation of heroes is really powerful."
"Dear guest, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting~!"
The poster girl held a tray in each hand and placed a portion of stew and a portion of porridge in front of Yamen with a smile on her face.
"Oh, thank you so much?"
Looking at the two dishes in front of him, Yamen's smile froze.
I remember I ordered the Gudong chicken stew and the Popom porridge...
He raised his head and met the poster girl's expectant eyes.
“… …”
In the end, I could only eat these two dark dishes of unknown origin with tears in my eyes.
Kuwu...
This place.
Never come again!
"Excuse me, sir, are you dissatisfied with our black wine? Why haven't you touched it at all?"
“… …”
Woo woo woo...
Please spare me.
... ...
After leaving the pub.
"Brother Monroe, are you really not going back with us?"
"Well... ..."
Monroe froze in embarrassment.
"Well... well, right! I suddenly remembered something urgent that I have to do right now! Another day! I'll be back another day!"
"Brother Monroe..."
Yamen patted Monroe on the shoulder and said earnestly,
"If it was because you stole Master's small stash of funds and slipped out of the island to invest, I don't think Master would have killed you."
“Ku—!? W-What are you talking about!?”
Monroe's face suddenly turned red.
"When have I ever done such a thing? Don't slander me! Don't slander me!"
"I'm not talking nonsense. Master was so angry that he split the mountain in half."
"What—?! Okay, that's enough! No need to say anything! Seriously, I can't explain it to you all, I'm really in a hurry right now! Let's go!"
After saying that, Monroe ran away in shame.
"Uh, this..." Yamen scratched his head and looked at Lu Ji, "Brother Lu Ji, do you want to chase after me?"
"No need. Since the master is here, he definitely can't escape."
"Too... ..."
"Take me to see the master first."
"Okay, Miss Lor, do you want to come with us?"
"Forget about it today. The Sword Saint sounds like too much trouble. I'd better go check on little Ika to see if he's back today."
Little Ika?
Although he didn't know who Lor was talking about, Yamen still said goodbye to him.
Afterwards, he took Lu Ji back to the place where they had originally disbanded.
After waiting for a while.
Alante finally returned here.
"Master."
Lu Ji immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"Hmm? Luigi?"
