Chapter 7

・Last time, I changed the scene where Wolfgang put his hand on the shoulder to him putting his hand on the head (a considerate change for the heroine).

This time, it's from a bystander's perspective!

In a tavern filled with the smell of alcohol and laughter, adventurers holding mugs were engaged in heated discussions.

"Look, it's our party's turn to invite Sophia next! You back off!"

"What did you say, you! If it comes to this, let's settle it with a fight!"

"Oh, come on, you guys! Start fighting!"

The male adventurers were bickering noisily. For the past few days, their conversations over drinks had been dominated by one girl.

Her name was Sophia Gracia, a young lady from the Gracia territory, known for its poverty.

When they heard that this girl had become an adventurer, they went to take a peek out of curiosity, wondering, "Is the Gracia territory really that poor?" and "What kind of scrawny girl will show up?" But the moment they saw her, they were instantly captivated.

"Hehe... I thought, 'So this is what a princess looks like.'"

"Right? And she's even wearing a beautiful dress, which was a real surprise. Is she really a lady from a poor territory?"

As they sipped their drinks, the men recalled Sophia's appearance.

The first time they saw her, they were truly shocked. Her lustrous red hair, which made you want to touch it, her fresh white skin, and her gem-like blue eyes. She was dressed in a pure white dress, and a cape that draped over her like a feather, creating a picture of supreme beauty.

"Despite her refined appearance, she's so bright and cheerful, and her smile is just irresistible! When she gives you that sparkling, pure smile, free of any malice or desire, it just hits you, you know!"

"Yeah, Sophia's heart is so pure! She's completely different from us, who are always thinking about money!"

"Speaking of which, I heard that Sophia was giving out free healing potions to the people of the Gracia territory! That's a far cry from the dirty lord of my hometown!"

The men shouted in unison, "Sophia is a real saint!"

Given that she was beautiful, kind-hearted, and apparently skilled as an adventurer, it was no wonder she was a topic of conversation. Now, in the city of 'Stella,' Sophia Gracia had become a bit of a celebrity.

Even the average citizens of the city were being charmed by her, and her presence was becoming more widely known.

However—

They didn't know that the reason Sophia polished her appearance was to "marry into a wealthy noble or merchant family!" And the reason she gave out healing potions to the people was to encourage them to "work hard and pay their taxes properly!"

Unaware of these facts, the male adventurers were about to resume their discussion on "which party would invite the single Sophia princess" when—

"Ta... This is bad! Our Sophia is walking with a wild, handsome adventurer with dog ears and they're both smiling!"

"Wh-What!?"

At the sudden shocking news, the adventurers dropped their mugs to the floor in unison.

The sound of breaking glass echoed, and the tavern's atmosphere froze.

Thus, the men, deeply shocked, took a break from their adventuring jobs.

After a few days of bed rest, they resolved, "We can't let some strange new dog take our Sophia! We need to improve ourselves!" and even bowed to the handsome receptionist, Raze, whom they had previously despised, to learn how to dress well.

Meanwhile, unaware of all this, Sophia and Wolfgang successfully made a lot of money during the period when fewer adventurers were hunting monsters.

"I don't know what happened, but we made a fortune, Wolfgang!"

"Yeah, let's keep making money at this rate!"
