The Glorious Chronicle
Chapter 18 - Victory Feast

The city of Mallorca held a victory party after successfully resisting the attacks of the Stampede Monsters. The city was really very crowded and faces were beaming, happy laughter could be heard from every corner of the City.

In the City bars, the people who managed to survive, bragged about what they were doing in the Battlefield back then.

"Mwehehehe, then at that moment, I swung my Sword, and the sat set of sat sets, the enemies were all cut off!"

"yeah! If not for the support of me, a genius Archer, all of you vanguards would have already died!"

Hearing that, the bragging warlord just now became enraged and immediately took Archer's collar.

"What did you say!? Someone who was just hiding in the back like Archer dared to say such a thing!" his yell.

"What's!? Who is hiding! We're protecting you! If it wasn't for our efforts, it wouldn't have been possible yesterday to win!"

The two got into a fight, the people around, who saw it were fed up and immediately called out to the guards.

The guards who came immediately caught the two. The guard still recognized the two men.

"You people! Make a scene again! And the Young Master has made a rule that if you drink, then drink in the back!" scold the guard and take him away.

Other than the braggarts, the topic of conversation that never withered after Stampede was their second Young Master, Ethan.

In every corner of the City, it's always about Ethan, especially the young girls.

An example is in the Adventure Guild bar. Three party men consisting only of women talk about Ethan at their table.

"Yeah! Yesterday, when I was about to die, Young Master Ethan came and helped me bravely! It makes me so happy and embarrassed!"

His desk partner who heard it looked at him with envy.

"You're really lucky, I almost died helping someone who was careless, fortunately suddenly killed an enemy" she said with dead eyes.

Back then, there was someone who joined the conversation of the two.

"Oh, I experienced the same thing. And at that moment, I saw that Young Master Ethan was moving while continuously shooting magic in all directions helping adventurers and Knights who needed help or were about to die" he said in a fanatical tone.

But, those words were extremely unreasonable especially for the Mages. Several Mages who were there entered into the conversation.

"That's impossible. Even if you can, the accuracy should be very bad and could result in friendly fire,"

"He's right, so I guess you're just shy."

The Mages denied this, but the man did not back down at all.

"No! I really saw it!" he nodded with his opinion.

And not only him, other people also shared the same story they saw.

"Yes, I saw it too. I was on the front line back then, so I actually saw it,"

"Pulse. I'm the same. At that time I was injured and no one helped, so Young Master came to help me, and while I was being carried by him, he was still fighting the Monster with sword and magic,"

Just then, the room became quiet and all eyes were directed towards the last speaker.

"Hey! There's a traitor here! Catch her!"

"Don't let the girl run away!"

The girl, who was talking about things that should not be frightened and ran away.

"I'm sorry! I really don't know anything!"

That day, the romp between the girl and the one-city girl started and made a furore throughout the City.

Celebrations continued, in addition, that day was the birth of Fans Ethan von Mallorca for the first time. The number of members of the community was almost half the population of the City. Ethan doesn't know this.

Eh? What happened to that girl? The less you know, the better.

Meanwhile, the main character of yesterday's victory, Ethan, has a facial expression that is inversely proportional to the cheerful atmosphere of the city. His haggard and uninspired face fused together with the table.

Ethan reads a report from Joshua, that the Guild Master of the Adventure Guild, Olson, is a traitor, and it is likely that he was the one who leaked that Lord and Claire are nowhere to be found. In addition, it makes sense the new report came when Stampede was very close.

In the future, it does not rule out the possibility that Nobles or even a State will betray enemy forces.

Thinking about those things makes Ethan really upset and heartburn.

"Seriously, hero, where are you. This is all you should finish!" ethan shouted in frustration.

A knock on the door was heard as Ethan was busy complaining.

Knock Knocks.

"Young Master Ethan, it's me," it's Mia's voice coming from behind the door.

Ethan who heard that, immediately stopped acting and immediately corrected his posture and facial expression.

"Come in," Ethan replied back to a flat tone.

Mia, come in. In her hand, Mia carried several envelopes containing documents or letters.

"Young Master, these are some of the letters that have just come" Mia said.

While Lord and Claire were away, Tian who usually took care of things like this, also went along with Lord and Claire to the Royal Capital. Therefore, Mia was now trying to replace Tian's position.

"really? Let me see," replied Ethan.

Ethan opened the letter with a slight sense of anticipation. His reason? Of course because of the last time.

But, his worries disappeared as he read the contents of the letter. The contents of the letter said that the Guild would provide compensation as an apology for what Olson did.

A sweet smile was plastered on his face when he saw the nominal given.

"If they don't give at least this much compensation, I myself will come to ask them for it" he murmured.

Mia, who had been fascinated for a moment to see Ethan's smile, regained her senses and gave up something else.

"And Young Master, this is the item you requested," the greeting handed over a parcel.

Ethan's face brightened when Mia said that.

"Eh? Really!?" ask him with passion.

Ethan immediately took the parcel that Mia had brought and opened the contents. And what was inside was a Magic Stone with quite a lot of magic power in it.

"What are you going to do with the Magic Stones of those Mazoku, Young Master?" mia asked confused.

This Magic Stone was the cause for Olson and the others to turn into Devils. Ethan tries to check the Magic Stone, so that in the future it can be easier to distinguish enemies and friends.

"Of course for research. If it wasn't me, then surely this thing would just go to a pointless place," Ethan replied a little excitedly more than usual.

Mia still could not understand, but Mia still decided not to ask further.

"I understand, if so, I'll excuse you first, Young Master," Mia said bowed respectfully.

Ethan nodded back and said nothing more. Ethan focused on the Magic Stone and muttered softly.

"," as he muttered, the info of the object appeared.

[Magi Stone's.

A stone with a very strong dark Mana. If swallowed, it will make living beings become evil.]

Ethan who read that just smiled bitterly. It was a very basic thing and information he already knew without even having to use a Skill .

"Well, maybe it should be researched properly, but I think this will definitely be quite useful" he said and immediately kept it in inventory.

His smiling face immediately changed when he saw the reality before him. Piles of documents are mounting, waiting to be completed soon.

"Huh..I want to be a normal boy.." - Grunts.
