“We greet the Master we will serve.” The four people immediately bowed when they saw Leon.

“4 Humans and an Orb. Zaratul did not choose badly.” Leon nodded and was allowed to enter the magic tower of Babel through the oath of heart sacrifice.

With the addition of these four people, it wouldn't be too difficult to move freely in the outside world.

“At least I can act if the Betlam family decides to kill me.”

His relationship with the Betlam family has become very strained at this time. His previous action to summon Zaratul provoked an attack on Betlam's family and his relationship became fractured because of this.

Even though Balak previously seemed to be trying to make friends with him, Balak's attitude changed so drastically as if the two of them had become strangers.

This was the result he had expected when he attempted the summoning. After all, he couldn't completely trust the Betlam family when they themselves couldn't hold onto the contract between the two.

Leon looked at the five creatures in front of him who had finished thrusting the dagger he gave them. He immediately took out several books and handed them to the four humans in front of him. “Learn all that in 5 days and give it back to me after that. You will be Zaratul's subordinates tasked with protecting me in the outside world."

The four humans immediately took the book Leon had given them and thanked them. Leon looked at the Orbs that were still surrounding him as if curious about the figure Zaratul was following.

“You can follow Zaratul if you want. He will take good care of you.” Leon said with a gentle smile.

The orb stopped for a moment and seemed to nod before entering Leon's shadow. Who knows how the Orb did it, Leon didn't think much about it.

“The four of you will go with Erick and follow the directions he has. Do you understand?"

Leon said while pointing at Erick who was next to him. This time, the condition has become better. The shabby clothes he wore before had been replaced by casual clothes with leather armor. Her short blonde hair suited her current clothing style and appearance.

"I understand." Erick just nodded.

"Good. We're getting out of here.” Leon took out a card that Niki and Rose gave him. With just a thought, they were all transported back to the Austin Farmland Store in Maple City.

"Remember what task I gave you." Leon reminded Erick and walked out of the Austin Farmland store.

With what he needed done, all he had to do was wait for the right time. Leon strolled around looking at Maple Town and relaxing.

With his current capacity, the progress of his training would be very slow. Even though he had been in Austin Farmland for quite a long time, it was still quite a long time to reach the intermediate stage.

“Master, are we going back to the Betlam family?” Zaratul asked via telepathy.

“Hmm… Maybe there's no need for now. After all, with the relationship the two of us currently have, he will soon forget me with Obscuring karma. So there's no need to bother looking for trouble with that person.”

“Does that mean we won't recruit that boy?”

Leon was silent for a moment while tapping his finger on the gem embedded in his wand. “I never planned on not recruiting him. It's just that we need time. Let him play with those eyes he has."

Zaratul didn't ask any more questions. He obediently kept quiet and watched from inside Leon's shadow with the Small Orb around him.

It was a calm day and no problems occurred. Leon also felt satisfied with what he saw and experienced here in Maple City. If there was anything that attracted his attention the most, it was the display of the mechanical Golems formed by the Magi.

On the outskirts of the city, people gathered to watch the performance put on by the Golems. This atmosphere was like a small festival he saw with Tsukishima before he left for this world.

While walking, Leon saw a familiar figure. It was a beautiful and graceful woman he had met before.

Even though it was only once, Leon could even say that she was a beautiful woman.

Leon didn't approach her, he just watched her from afar. After all, it was just a one-time meeting, coupled with Leon's Obscuring karma, Alice had probably forgotten about it.

“Do you have a moment, sir?” A sweet female voice that he knew entered his ears again.

Leon turned around and saw Alice looking at him with a look of happiness.

Leon just smiled and answered kindly. "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Umm... Sorry for suddenly calling you, it's just that I felt strange when I saw you."

"It doesn't matter. Who wouldn't be happy if someone from Rosemary's family greeted him?”

Alice was silent for a moment when Leon mentioned the Rosemary Family. Honestly, She doesn't have a good relationship with Rosemary's family.

“Ah, sorry for my impoliteness, I still haven't introduced myself properly. My name is Alice Rosemary.”

“You can address me as Mr.Constantine.” Leon also introduced himself

Leon saw Alice who didn't seem to know him at all. If she knew him, Alice likely wouldn't act like a stranger.

“Mr. Constantine, you don't seem too bothered by the Rosemary Family.”

“I know what happened to Rosemary's family. Are you afraid that I will be disgusted by the way they recruit Magi?” Leon asked while enjoying the ongoing mechanical Golem show.

Calling it a golem might be a bit inaccurate because the Golem is more like a robot. Every joint and frame of the golem is designed in such a way.

It wouldn't be wrong to call them robots but what the golems lacked was just a flat face made of iron plates. Only the shape of the body is made similar to humans.

“Don't you feel that way?”

"Not really. I don't really care about the various practices that occur in this world as long as they don't bother me. Even though I haven't lived very long, I have someone who taught me a lot. One of them is a sentence that I hold onto to this day." Leon drew some words in the air using his finger.

It was not the language of his home world, but rather the language of this world that he already understood.

A human mistake is when you care too much about what other people say.

Alice read the sentence with a stunned look. As someone from the Rosemary family, she was always kept aloof because her family was known to be very radical in following the Pendragon kingdom.

Although she possessed charming beauty, it was only a fraction of what she could be proud of. The only thing she has.

“I've never been that bothered by what other people do as long as it doesn't affect me. "It's not that I don't care, but as long as it doesn't concern me or the interests I have, I won't interfere and won't comment."

Alice heard Leon's words and became so amazed. Her heart fluttered with happiness. This was the first time she had found someone who didn't judge her just because of Rosemary's family's actions.

Even though she didn't remember her first meeting with Leon, the reason she was so desperate to find a partner was because of the demands she had to fulfill as a Noble family.

Especially Rosemary's family.

Her family were loyalists almost to the point of fanaticism. When Royal politics was taking place, the Rosemary family was one of the three families who really carried out this politics wholeheartedly. More than that, when they start involving people outside their family and binding them with marriage vows.

There was a reason why the Rosemary family was so shunned by many of the Magus in the kingdom.

However, as easy as saying it is, doing it is not so simple.

Alice asked while enjoying the show with Leon. “Is it possible for me to do it? Not caring about what other people think of me and living my own life?”

“You should ask yourself that.”

Alice didn't say anything else after that. The two of them enjoyed the performance of a Golem dancing beautifully. Their movements are so smooth with the music that gives an atmosphere of grandeur.

The show continued into the evening. When the people had dispersed, only Alice and Leon were left in the Maple town square, where the performance was being performed.

“Mr. Constantine, I want to change. I don't know what to do but I want to change. Even though my family name is Rosemary, I want to free myself from the constraints of this name.”

Leon who heard that could only smile.
