This dragon girl raising system is a bit strange.

The next day, Thor walked toward the church.

It's about time we figured out a way to resolve Ysera's quest.

Yulia's quests were just refreshed yesterday.

[Yulia - Stage 3 Personal Side Quest (Affection Level 50)]

[Task Two: Initial Sparring]

[Description: Lately, nothing has happened, and the situation has become rather calm, leaving Yulia feeling somewhat bored.]

You've decided to have a sparring session with Yulia to hone your martial arts skills.

【Task Completion Conditions:】

【1. Engage in a battle with Yulia (Required)】

[2. Persevere for 1 minute without being defeated (optional)]

【3. Attack Yulia as many times as possible (optional)】

【award:???】

Yulia's task shouldn't be too difficult.

It should be easy to complete.

Ysera's prerequisite quests do have time requirements.

I need to check in with her first today.

【Task success conditions:】

[1. Meet with Miss Saint at the church for four consecutive days. (Completed on February 4th)]

2. Persuade Miss Saint to help her repair the church. (Required)

3. Use shovels, hammers, and mallets during the repair process. (Optional)

He arrived at the church, walked through the hall, and encountered the familiar Harrison in front of Isela's office.

"Stop."

Harrison said.

"Let me check."

Thor didn't bother arguing with him.

Harrison returned quickly.

"Okay, you can go in now."

Thor smiled.

"I hope next time it will be the Saintess herself who says those words to me."

After saying that, Thor ignored the expression on the loyal knight's face behind him and went into the room.

Inside the room, Ysera remained aloof.

Thor pulled out a chair and sat down, listening to what the other person had to say.

"Thor, come to the guardhouse tomorrow at noon."

"There will be a meeting regarding this incident."

To be honest, Thor didn't really want to attend this long and tedious meeting.

Sending him the meeting minutes directly is the most efficient way.

"Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to participate in this event given my identity?" Thor offered an excuse.

Last time, I was ostracized simply for participating in the interrogation.

Attending this meeting would be even more inappropriate.

Isera looked at him with calm eyes.

Suddenly said:

No, you must participate.

"This is Her Majesty's order."

Thor, who had just been nonchalant, suddenly changed his expression.

"Her Majesty's orders?"

Princess Enor?

The ruler of the kingdom?

How did I end up getting involved with her?

"What do you mean by this?" Thor pressed.

He really didn't want to have anything to do with this woman at this stage.

"I don't know."

"She specifically asked you to participate."

Thor discovers that things are not so simple.

"Her? The princess herself?"

Isera nodded.

Thor realized that something seemed to have changed in the world.

In the original timeline, the princess would not appear until Chapter 5.

Furthermore, Thor and the princess have absolutely no connection.

They are not relatives, friends, enemies, or subordinates.

It is nothing.

I don't know them at all.

"Didn't they say why?" Thor inquired.

"Her Majesty's messenger told me that you are to follow up on this incident from beginning to end."

That's all.

"The only people who know about this are the director of the Guard Bureau and me."

It is clear.

Something has changed.

His first thought was that Ysera had told the princess about his situation.

This aroused the princess's suspicion.

"You told others that I gave you the map?" Thor questioned.

Isera looked somewhat helpless.

Do I look like the kind of person who breaks their promises?

indeed.

Given Ysera's personality, she doesn't seem like the type to leak secrets.

Thor began to recall what he had done.

In this world, I did not participate in the blood sacrifice.

They did not do anything illegal.

Although Melodie's IQ wasn't ideal, she couldn't possibly have leaked the secret to the princess.

Melotti's mentor was a professional pest control expert, someone who deals with insects every day.

They are usually homebodies who don't like socializing.

Melodie was like that, and so was her mentor.

The most discreet people in the world are undoubtedly homebodies.

Besides, what Melodie knows shouldn't be of any concern to Her Majesty the Princess.

Thor felt increasingly uneasy as he thought about it.

It's impossible to be targeted for no reason.

What's even more terrifying is that the other party has their eye on me and deliberately let me know about it.

There must be a reason.

And an opportunity.

What exactly is that crucial point?

"Don't think about it, you won't understand it."

Ysera sighed, then said:

Even I can't figure it out.

"If her behavior were so easy to read, she wouldn't be the Ice Princess."

Just as rumored.

The Ice Princess possesses ruthless methods that are completely inconsistent with her appearance.

Those who dared to challenge her mostly met with bad ends.

Instead of thinking about those things, we should think about how to solve this problem.

She then told Thor what she had learned that morning.

"The Guard Bureau has already deployed men to lie in ambush near Oscar's manor."

"However, it seems that neither the Earl nor his son are at the manor."

"In order not to alert the enemy."

"Their current approach is to remain inactive."

Thor leaned back in his chair, somewhat annoyed, and listened to the whole thing.

"What kind of expression is that?"

Isera almost laughed.

"Weren't you eager to know the details of the incident before?"

Thor did not reply to Ysera's sarcasm.

really.

Being an outsider and being involved are two completely different feelings.

The situation became out of control.

Forget it.

at this point.

Let's do Ysera's quest first.

At least you can get some rewards to improve your combat power.

"I remember you said last night that you also wanted to become a social butterfly like me."

"Is that right, Miss Saint?"

Ysera's expression wasn't good. She subconsciously glanced out the window to make sure no one had overheard her words.

Why are you suddenly bringing this up?

"I don't remember saying that."

She shook her head, feeling ashamed, and wanted to cut ties with Thor as soon as possible.

However, just as she said those words, a strange feeling suddenly welled up inside her.

That feeling was just like the feeling after taking the medicine yesterday—fleeting.

By the time she came to her senses, Thor had already taken out the small shovel, hammer, and mallet he had prepared beforehand and placed them on the table.

The metal tools clashed, producing a piercing sound.

Ysera looked at the props on the table, her tone puzzled:

"Thor, what are you doing?"

"This is the first step to becoming a social master."

Thor continued in a low voice.

"Now, take these props and go outside the church."

Miss Saint frowned.

"I can't do that."

"This makes absolutely no sense."

Thor shook his head and advised:

"How will you know if you don't try?"

He paused.

The conversation turned.

"Or should I say..."

"Are you just scared?"

"Fear?"

Isera forced an explanation.

"There's just no need to do these things."

"Besides, will taking a shovel and hammer outside really improve my social skills?"

"How is that possible?"

She dismissed it with disdain.

Thor feigned a sigh.

"If you, Miss Saint, can honestly finish this task."

"I was thinking of introducing Julia to you."

Seeing Thor bring up Julia, Ysera's tone turned somber.

"Are you trying to negotiate with me?"

Thor smiled and shook his head.

"How can this be considered negotiating terms?"

"This is just a small encouragement to help you take the first step."
