Riley noticed the carriage had stopped

Of all the carriages stopped in middle of the field, Riley, as inside the Iphalleta house’s carriage, peeked his face out the ith his hair in a sleepy mess

"Uuuu… Are we there now?"

"No Not yet…"

The one that answered was not Nainiae

It was Reitri sitting near theNoticing this, Riley tilted his head side to side and looked around

"In that case, why are we stopped?"

"That is… It will be very complicated to explain"

Reitri mumbled as he scratched the side of his head

Riley, who had been looking around the area, found Nainiae and Basilisk standing face to face in the distance

"Ah"

Nainiae had a heavy atmosphere

Basilisk looked like an infuriated bull He was scratching the ground with tips of his feet to relax his legs

Riley roughly figured out as happening With a quizzical look on his face, he asked,

"That… Is that what I think it is?"

"Yes"

Although Reitri was new to being a merchant, he was a merchant

He was pretty quick with his senses, so he knehat Riley was talking about He nodded and said yes

"Gosh, that kid…"

Riley coe’sfraht palm and looked at Nainiae

"She said she could not stand so master"

"What about the other side?"

Riley asked about Basilisk

He figured that, if what Reitri was saying was the case, then the cause of it all ht?"

"The one with a fat stoave a blank stare when Riley said ‘the one with a fat stomach’ Soon, he collected himself and answered,

"Yes Thata story about how he killed it in 30 minutes… and Ms Nainiae said that is pretty fast That’s how it came to this"

Riley peeked a smile and twisted a tip of his itated parts they should not have

In Nainiae, it was Riley In Basilisk, it was pride

"It’s not like they are little children"

Riley still didn’t change the look on his face He was still s He casually turned his head and looked at Horai, as sitting next to Reitri

"What? What are you looking at?"

"…"

"What is it… sir?"

It see He was pouting big tie

‘Anyway… this sure is a bother’

Turning his gaze away fro a face-off Rileyhis head and started to tap his cheek

"Now that I think about it, that runt… He seems a little short How old is he?"

Basilisk was definitely on the shorter side

His body was about the size of Horai, atching the scene fro that indicated he have swung his spear countless tie

"He is about… 15?"

"Yes He is 15 this year"

Having heard Riley’s question, Reitri asked areceived the question, one of its members nodded and answered

"15?"

Riley turned his head toward the ain with a look of disbelief

"I didn’t hear that wrong, did I?"

Basilisk looked a little short and his face looked rather young, so Riley figured he just looked young It see a roup as its commander? Do mercenaries not have any talented individuals fill the commander positions? Just what kind of screwed up place is this city?"

It see to ask that question He explained with a bitter look on his face

"That is… It was the last will of the former commander who passed away"

"Forht, is it? Will it be all right if I called you young master?"

The mercenary was not introduced to Riley yet, so he was confused about his title He carefully asked Riley, and Riley nodded Theat over there is Commander Nara His late father… Garf Basilisk was the forroup"

To put it simply, Nara have inherited the leadership from his father

"Garf Basilisk?"

"Yes Do you know him?"

"No, it is just…"

Riley shook his head and asked a different question

"It’s about the name, Basilisk It is a family name Were they a nobility in the past?"

What Riley wanted to ask was about the last name attached after Nara’s first nah"

"H from the look on his face and his tone, it seemed there was a circumstance that lead to that Riley didn’t pry on it With his hand supporting his head, Riley turned his gaze toward Nainiae and Basilisk

‘Now that I think about it, there was one too back in my past life There was a bastard with a spear that wanted to have a duel with ht about his past as he stared at Basilisk Riley slightly furrowed his brows and wondered through his h he was born again in this world with all of his past memory intact, Riley was still a hu of the past like aclearly

‘I reuilt, worries, and etc There were many complicated emotions involved in it… So, in the end, Riley didn’t join thea spear Also, that s that Riley remembered

‘Some how… I think there is more that I should be able to re to me’

Those were all of memories that Riley could recall about ‘that man with the spear’

"T… two of you… Are you ready? Ms Nainiae, Mr Basilisk?"

Perhaps… he should be called the judge Horai was standing between Nainiae and Basilisk before anyone realized

Horai was going back to his crass language, but feeling a suffocating ated his attitude

"Anytime"

"Yes"

Basilisk and Nainiae both answered at the same time

"In that case, I’ll count down"

Like the swordsmanship tournament in Solia, Horai started to count down from five seconds

"5… 4… "

The rule was to make the opponent incapacitated

Still, in order to prevent accidents, the weapons ooden sword and spear instead of sharpened real weapons
