Chapter 101: Disguise 3
The next day, I left the castle with Julius and went to the guild to register Julius as an adventurer.
Normally, this would have been done at the reception, but since Ms. Fine knows the situation, she decided to do it at the consultation room she always uses.
“Julius-san, you become an adventurer to meet Ange-san, rather than working as an adventurer, right?”
"Well, that's right. The princess has told me to do some activities as an adventurer, but basically she says it's okay to prioritize that."
“In that case, I think it would be better if you register as a partner like me. Thanks to this, I can work while hiding my identity to a large extent. In Julius-san’s case, if he stands out, he will meet Ange-san. I think it will also be difficult.”
When I gave that advice, Julius said to Fine-san, ``Then I'll register as a partner as well.''
After that, after completing Julius's adventurer registration, we didn't just go home, but instead headed to Ange, who was waiting in a separate room.
“So, will you be active as an adventurer from now on using your old name?”
"Yeah, I can't cause any trouble for Ange."
“Well, it would be fine for me as long as the nobles didn’t pay attention to me, but… isn’t it causing too much trouble for Jin? No matter how many missions I receive, I’m supposed to be a ``princess’s bodyguard and conversation partner,'' right? I heard that in order to get the mithril from this ornament, you caused a big fuss and got Jin's help.''
"Ah, that's..."
When Julius was stuffed by Ange, his smile instantly changed to a look of panic.
Well, it's true that there is no mention of helping Julius in the request.
As a gold-class adventurer, Ange must be angry at his brother for making her do something that wasn't written in the request.
"Ange-san, we did it on our own, so please take a good look at it. Also, we are currently receiving payment for learning sword skills from Julius-san."
"...If Jin is good, there's no need for me to insist, but you should still be careful from now on, okay?"
"Yes! I'm sorry!"
Julius, who was warned by Ange, bowed his head and apologized.
"Also, Jin, if you get tired of Julius' swordsmanship, you can come to me, right? I'm the one who taught Julius swordsmanship, after all."
"……eh?"
While I was laughing at the exchange between Ange and Julius, Ange made a huge bombshell.
Ange was the one who taught swordsman Julius swordsmanship! ?
I'm sure that wasn't written in the setting materials, right?
“Is that true?”
"Yeah, isn't it strange that Julius, who was originally an orphan, is so good at swordsmanship that he was recognized by a princess? I taught Julius from scratch, even though he didn't know anything."
I couldn't believe Ange's words and looked at Julius, who was bowing his head next to me.
"That's true. My sword master is Ange. Well, but if we do it now, I don't know who would win, right?"
"Hmm, you didn't win even once back then, so are you okay with criticizing me like that? Isn't it Julius who gets stronger just because he's in front of Jin and ends up embarrassing himself later?"
"Hehe, I've put in the effort and experience to live up to my name as a swordsman. I'm different than I was back then."
Yeah, these two are totally motivated...
You said they were stepbrothers and sisters, but aren't they actually related by blood?
Thinking so, the two decided to fight to celebrate their reunion after a long time and to confirm each other's growth.
"Wait, wait, Ange-san, Julius-san? It's impossible to fight so suddenly, since the guild has preparations, right?"
"It's okay. This might happen, so I asked Reina to prepare the place first."
"I've always been well prepared, but it doesn't seem like that has changed."
``I've come this far by myself, so I'd be in trouble if people were to impress me with this much.''
The two glared at each other, then left the room in response to the voice of Reina-san, who had come to tell them that the place was ready.
Well, I think I'll be able to see with my own eyes Ange's abilities that I didn't know about, so this was a good thing.
I thought they were playing a troublesome role, but I followed behind them, thinking that I was glad I didn't miss this opportunity.
"Reina-san, are those two okay?"
"I think it's okay. I have an older brother too, so I kind of understand, but I think Ange-san is just happy to be reunited with Julius-sama."
Reina-san smiled and said that when I said that I was worried about the situation of the two of them.
