Chapter 66

"Due to the illness, quite a number of men have died or become unable to work, and the upper-class nobles have been replaced by those who are not very qualified... ..."

Schnell's sigh was heavy.

Eh? Even so, isn't it a bit too much to not care about the spirits?

Such a cute, wonderful existence... Oh, can only those with magic eyes see them?

"Large-scale changes in power, indeed the prince does have the talent of a king. He must have contained the chaos, except for matters concerning Schnell, right?"

"Except for matters concerning me, or rather my family. Perhaps because I received the protection of the spirit, she, or he, thanks to that, the people around me also received a lot of protection from the spirit and suffered little from the illness. That's why I was even more targeted, and some fools started demanding the spirit, so I couldn't stay in the country anymore."

"Uwa..."

I thought of Lord Rodan's mansion. The people around Schnell must have been really good people. On the other hand, the prince, who didn't protect the people he liked or their families, seemed very selfish and made me angry.

"Maybe a warrant has been issued for you, that's why?"

Lord Arjitt also sighed heavily. As the former king, he couldn't treat Schnell's homeland as a trivial matter.

"Thanks to the help of my younger brother and friends, I fled a few years ago. I traveled as an adventurer and looked for work as a tailor, but, well, no one asks for women's dresses, you know."

After that, I realized that I really enjoy making dresses among all the sewing jobs, Schnell said with a distant look in his eyes.

"I had heard about the Nier family, who do the blessed sewing in this country, from my master. If the head of the family was the decent person my master spoke of, I thought I might be able to work on making dresses there."

"Is that the brother of the one you mentioned? If you know that, your master must be from this country."

"That's why I came to this country. But the Nier family was taken over by the younger brother who wasn't decent. When I tried to test my skills, I found out I was at the bottom of the bottom."

"I was looking for my master's twin sister. My master was adopted by a traveling merchant family who couldn't have children and met her husband in that country and got married. She said her sister's tailoring sense was better than hers. But my young master only remembered her sister's name and had forgotten the original family name, so she was stuck."

"Then Yui... When I appeared wearing the clothes Yui sewed and was shown the path of cursed blessings and maze weapon modifications, it was natural to want to become a disciple."

I see. I nodded and took Schnell's hand.

Yeah, Schnell, it would be good for you to come under the protection of Lord Arjitt or Lord Amnart like me.

I can give you a favor!

"I'll take you as a disciple. In return, I want you to lend us your strength!"

"I'll explain the details," I said.
