As expected of Roxanne’s body’s inner clock. It would seem that I can always depend on it, no matter what happens, for which I am extremely grateful to her, especially since I cannot tell the exact time anyway. That being said, I cannot have absolute certainty if her body’s internal clock is going to be the most accurate thing in the world too, but I feel like at this point there are not too many alternative that I can use, so I guess that is going to have to suffice for now.

After I had myself some breakfast, I decided to pay a visit to the Merchant’s Guild since I had nothing better to do while I waited for the period of four hours to pass anyway. While I was there, I went to see Luke, my broker in the Guild, and I bought the Green Caterpillar Skill Crystal off of him. When the purchase has been finalized, he once again offered me to have the item appraised at the Guild’s temple for a small fee, but I have already used my 「Identify」 Skill on it beforehand, just like I did with my previous purchase that I got from him, the Mermaid Skill Crystal, so I already know that this Green Caterpillar Skill Crystal is a genuine one and not a fake, so once again, I opted for not choosing to have it verified at the Guild’s temple. Like I was saying, as long as I have my own 「Identify」, I do not need to pay money to others for something that I might as well be doing myself.

When I returned to the waiting room of the Merchant Guild from upstairs where I was meeting with Luke, I saw a familiar face of someone who I honestly did not expect to see here at all.

It was Gozer, the leader of the Knight Order of Hartz Duchy, who was also an exceptionally good-looking ikemen (TL Note: ikemen means pretty boy or men). Even though he was just sitting there in the waiting room without doing anything in particular, he was still looking like someone taken straight out of a damn painting, and just as usual, he was emitting this overwhelming aura of authority that made everyone else around him look small and insignificant in comparison to him.

And did I already mention that the guy is so good-looking that it should be made criminal? Now, I know that Roxanne and Sherry are going to be one hundred percent faithful to me because I am their master, but I do not want neither of them to see this guy or be in his general vicinity at all, because if they saw that there are such good-looking guys out there, I am afraid that it might have put some strange ideas into their heads.

I wish that my worries were baseless and nothing more than the side effect of my constant paranoia and insecurities, but back on earth I already saw that once good-looking buff guys start hanging around girls, they are going to cause them to alter their way of thinking and behaviors until they will devolve to such a degree that even the smartest, most calm and collected of girls and women would start acting like little more than a hormone-crazed, braindead morons that are not going to be able to put one coherent sentence together as long as such a Chad Thundercock stays next to them, which is why I sincerely wish all the worst and every possible misery imaginable onto every ikemen, chad and good-looking guy in existence.

I do not care that I might be worrying for no reason, or that thinking like that and harboring such a strong resentment towards the people who look better than me is going to make me look like a complete and utter fool. Even if I am going to be branded as an anxious fool much in the same vein as 「The people of Qi who lament the heavens」 (TL Note: The Chinese state of Qi from the beginning of the Shang Dynasty (16th c. BCE) was apparently very small in scale, as it is rarely mentioned in ancient Chinese documents except to say that “its affairs are not worth mentioning.” It is perhaps best known as the inspiration for the popular Chinese idiom, 杞人忧天 (杞人憂天) (Qǐ rén yōu tiān, literally meaning, “Qi people lament heaven” or “the people of Qi worry about the sky”), which is said to refer to the fact that the people of Qi often talked anxiously about the sky falling down on their heads. The idiom is used when mocking a person’s needless anxiety over an impossible, inconsequential, or inevitable matter).

I just cannot help but to worry whenever pretty guys, or any guys at all start eyeing Roxanne and Sherry. They are my slaves and would never think to betray me, or so I would like to think, but the history of my old world has shown us time and time again that nothing lasts forever. Empires may fall because of a single man or women, pillars can be toppled down by a single crack formed at their base and sages can eventually be led astray from their path towards enlightenment, so naturally the hearts of Roxanne and Sherry might one day end up being swayed by some hot guy, but as long as I draw breath I will not allow that to happen.

My harem has yet to fall, the pillar of my resolve to protect my girls from any square-jawed assholes is standing firmly still and I will not allow either them or myself to be led astray! And that is precisely why I can declare these words with pride and conviction: Fuck the ikemen and screw the chads! As far as I am concerned, they can just go rot in a ditch and die!

Yes, die, pretty boys and good-looking lads! Go die! Die right now, and torment us regular and average guys with your insufferable presence no longer!

「Oh, what a coincidence. Are you here for auction as well, Michio-sama?」

Fuck. Oh great, now that is just peachy. It seems that I have been noticed by Gozer. I just hope that it was not because of all the curses that I have been directing towards him and all the ikemen of the world in my mind.

If at all possible, I wanted to just ignore this guy and pay him as little attention as possible….. but there is just something about Gozer’s refreshing smile and the way that he carries himself that is simply not allowing me to ignore him even if I wanted to.

「Not really. I came here today mainly to settle a few equipment related matters.」

「I see. Well, that is one the most important things for a proper Adventurer to do, so I commend your diligence.」

Yeah, except for the fact that I am not a proper Adventurer, and I do not know if I am ever going to be one, so take those pretty praises of yours and shove it up your pretty…..

「And what about you, Lord Gozer? What brings you here, all the way to Quratar today?」

I stepped forward in order to cover Sherry and Roxanne, who were following closely behind me. I especially wanted to cover Sherry, because I did not want to have her look at that guy. Thankfully, it turned out that Sherry was not even interested in the guy in the slightest, because she went away from us in order to read through a couple of booklets that seemed to have caught her attention. She seems to be more interested in books than in good-looking men. Good, that is very good indeed. An attitude worthy of the highest of praises, Sherry!

「Since a large portion of the duke’s work includes socializing, I was sent here by him today in order to acquire some Gift Items.」

「Gift….. Item?」

Just like Gozer said, socializing is an important part of a noble’s job, (or as some would probably say, a bothersome duty that comes in as a part of their Job description) so if he wants to give someone an item that is gong to be appropriate for someone of his position and social standing, then it is more than likely that he will surely be acquiring such an item through auction, because I am sure that for nobles, gifting someone something that needs to be sufficiently rare or unique is the only way to go. Man, come to think of it, nobles do have their own share of troubles to be dealing with, huh?

Getting rid of Labyrinths in their territories and protecting people from the monsters is another part of the noble’s job.

「May I ask what is going to be the occasion for which you have to obtain a Gift Item?」
