Love Live Online: A Bard Grudge
Artelis II

Renne woke up early in the morning because some residents came to see him, of course this is thanks to the status of trust of citizens who increased to the maximum limit. The people greeted Renne with joy, more joy than ever.

He himself did not know the reason why they were so happy, but in retrospect this might have something to do with the Justice Knights delivering aid to them.

Some people also give Renne food that has just been cooked or may be heated. Of course it was very helpful to the girl, she did not have to bother asking Nathan to cook.

“Thank you, Sir, Mom!” Renne smiled faintly, she still looked sleepy but tried to open her eyes wide in honor of those people.

“Nak, today is a happy day. A nobleman invited all the villagers directly to his son's wedding and happened to be held in this village.” said one of the middle-aged men.

Renne was confused about it. Nobles would usually invite fellow nobles to celebrate the wedding feast. Weddings were also held in major cities in order to establish good relations with other nobles and make himself famous. If they were to throw a party in the village, it would certainly have an impact on their own good name, at least that was what Renne knew.

“But ... wouldn't a noble not invite residents and players like us?” renne muttered.

“Ah, you know a lot about nobles, huh? They will not invite remote villagers like us, but that is not the case with Viscount Aguestel,” replied the man earlier.

“Yes, He is a good person.” added a woman.

“So, what brought you here, isn't your goal not just to give me food?” Renne smiled, expecting a possible mission to be given.

“Ah, not so, Nak Renne. We came sincerely just to give you this food. But because I am here, I want to ask you for help.” said the man.

‘Isn't it the same?!’ Renne raised an eyebrow then said, “Tell me, I will definitely help.”

“We are currently confused at the thought of a gift that could make Him happy, so can you decide? We trust you so much!”

A notification appeared before Renne.

relationship with Viscount Aguestel increased.

「Receive.」

Renne was still confused by what the notification window said and asked, “Can I make a gift like I want then give it to you to give to Viscount Aguestel? Is that so?”

“Yes, you can make the gift. If it is a good thing, we will think about it and give it to Him on behalf of the villagers. But take it easy, we will tell him that you are the one who made that thing.” replied the man.

“We will wait until the afternoon because the party will be held in the evening at the residence of Viscount Aguestel who is several tens of meters from this village,” said the man again, then he continued, “Then we say goodbye first.”

****

Renne was very confused by the mission given. Although it has been explained, of course choosing something that is liked by someone is very difficult. Moreover, Renne did not know who Viscount Aguestel was and what kind of reward they wanted.

Renne also could not undo it as it would have an impact on the confidence level of the villagers and it would be difficult to re-improve it even if Renne tried to take advantage of the Legendary Bard profession.

After a while, Violet and Nathan had woken up from their slumber. They noticed Renne who was leaning on the horse carriage and seemed to be pensively thinking of something.

Violet sneaked to surprise the dreamy Renne, she then startled Renne by hugging her so tightly.

Renne was almost aghast and spontaneously about to hit the person who hugged her for thinking she was Artelis. But his hand suddenly came to a halt knowing it wasn't the man he was referring to.

Violet exhaled with relief, “Almost my beautiful face is injured..” he said.

Renne replied with a smile, “Sorry, I thought the person who hugged me was Artelis the Mesum.” the girl then turned her face back.

Artelis had also woken up from sleep and walked out of the tent. His eyes grew so big that he wanted to get out of his place because he saw the sight of two girls hugging in the morning. Sontak Renne threw him in the shoes he was wearing and hit him right in the face.

‘Ah, even from the past he was like that and never changed. I am grateful because he is a good listener and also the person who is always beside me.’ Inner Renne.

“Who is that person?” ask Violet.

“Ah, yes. I also just realized that last night he slept beside me and snored so loudly.” Nathan added.

Artelis still felt pain on her face, she slowly approached the three people and thrust her hand out, “I Artelis, didn't we meet last night?” the man tilted his head.

“Is that true? I don't know at all. Then, I'm Violet.” Violet shook Artelis' hand.

Artelis smiled as she turned her face away so that Renne would not know about it. The man was taking the opportunity to shake hands for a very long time together with the girl before him.

“I Nathan,” Nathan grabbed the hands of the two men and shook the hands of Artelis, he then continued, “Greetings!”

The introduction lasted a long time because Violet was so quickly familiar with Artelis. That is natural considering Violet is a girl who is good at getting along, always cheerful, and excited.

“By the way, why were you daydreaming?” ask Violet.

“I just got a mission from the villagers. I was asked to select a gift for Viscount Aguestel, so I was very confused thinking about it.” Renne replied.

Violet suddenly became very excited, “You can leave that to me! Look, I have a flower shop as well as a birthday cake shop. I don't mean to be arrogant, but I'm also good at picking gifts for others.”

‘Ah .. why can I forget about it? Though Violet is a good friend of mine and she always tells her activities in the store.’ Inner Renne.

Renne then reached into Violet's hand and grasped it so tightly, her face looking so hopeful.
