The Story of Hero Among Heroes ~The Founding Chronicles of Arestia Chapter 29

Relatives

Ares and Sigurd were on their way back from the beekeeping yard .
They pa.s.sed the Romaria town square and Blue Sky Market before arriving back home .

When Ares pa.s.sed by, people who saw him would greet him .

[Milord! How are you?]

[Going outdoor again today? Please come to visit us again sometime . ]

[It’s a dirty shop, but… . . we’ll be glad if Milord visits us again!]

Regardless of gender, they greeted him one after another .

[Ah, thanks . I’ll be sure to visit again later . ]

And every time, Ares would respond to them with a smile .

[It’s nice to see how vibrant the market is . I get to see various things]

Currently, there are three Blue Sky Markets in Romaria .
At first, shady merchants were all over the place but George thoroughly punished them with strict penalties . And since he also strengthened the surveillance, those crooked people finally left, thus the market became a healthy commercial place .

And with those changes, the number of people using the market also increases . The increase of people visiting the Blue Sky Market in turn also help support Romaria .

While thinking about that, Ares’ feet stopped in front of a settlement .

[Oya? Isn’t that Elan’s store?]

Saying so, Ares dropped by the store that was preparing to close down .

[Ooii, Elan]

[… . . !? If it isn’t Ares-sama . Returning from training?]

[Yes . Elan is in the middle of closing the store?]

Ares asked with a small laugh .
=====

Elan was an orphan from a village located a bit away from Romaria .

By selling the medicinal herbs he collected on his own from nearby forest, he made a living for himself . Other than that, occasionally he would also sell the tools that he developed, which earned him reputation sometimes .

Developed recently was the『Tinderbox』which can produce fire very easily . It sold very well, not only in the Schwarzer Territory, but also other places as well .

His store nowadays is one of the more well -known stores in Romaria .

And above all, Elan was a close friend to Ares during the few years he spent at Romaria .

Done with the greetings, Ares’ face turned serious .

[George said you should close the store and come to work with us . It’s jarring to see such a talent wasting away here… . ]

Elan was a very talented person to the point that George wanted him to work under him . In addition to that, from the exam he had at Ares’ request, he also showed talent in martial arts, which also drew Shion’s attention .

[I’m after all just an uneducated orphan . I feel uncomfortable doing those things… . ]

[And yet you topped the official exam…]

[That’s only because I thought that that’s the only way Ares-sama would accept us . I’m not working for myself at the moment . At least, until they can stand on their own, I still have to work for those kids’ everyday meals… . ]

And with that, Elan resumed closing his store .

Well I guess it can’t be helped… . at least you didn’t directly reject . ]

Seeing Ares droop his shoulders, Elan said with a small smile .

[That’s only『for now』 . Only until the store really gets on track . Once those kids can earn for themselves using this store… . I’ll surely join Ares-sama . Can Milord wait until that time come?]

Hearing that respond, Ares lightened up .

[Yeah, for sure . It’s a promise . ]

[Yes, of course . ]

They smiled to each other . Ares then started helping out with the closing . Elan did not refuse his help, and instead continued tidying up .

Sigurd remained silent as he saw the exchanges between the two since he felt that he couldn’t get in between them . After seeing what Ares did, he proceeded to help with the store closing as well .
