Who taught him to restore his country like this?

Ron: "..."

"...Hey, Gatling teacher."

Talulah waved her hand in front of Ron's eyes: "Are you even listening to me?"

"gone back."

Ron withdrew his gaze and walked somewhat hastily out of the shop.

"Huh? Why? You haven't chosen a gift yet."

Talulah saw Ron walk away without looking back and anxiously chased after him.

……

"Glovi, I think this scent would suit you very well... hmm?"

In the upscale display case, Kertia straightened up and recommended it to her friend beside her.

But he noticed that his friend's gaze seemed to be following something as it moved.

She followed Glover's gaze and looked over in confusion.

A young woman was seen tugging at the clothes of a middle-aged man, unwilling to leave.

They appear to be father and daughter.

Glover didn't look away until the father and daughter left the shop.

"You know them?"

"Kertia asked."

"do not know."

Glover shook his head slightly.

Why are you staring at someone you don't even know?

Kertia found it strange, but didn't ask any further questions.

There was a hint of worry in his eyes.

After all, Gloway's calm reaction upon learning of Ron's death was somewhat abnormal.

Although Glovi usually doesn't show much emotion on her face, Keltia, as her friend, can sense when Glovi is sad.

But this time she didn't feel it.

Has Gloway finally let go of Ron?

Kertia thought no.

Because despite her repeated attempts to persuade him, Glovi refused to dissolve the marriage.

Glover clearly hasn't let go of that person.

'Why……'

Kertia sighed inwardly.

Chapter 100 Take Me With You

"Tia, do you like this?"

After a brief hiatus, Glover's attention returned to choosing a gift for her friend.

Keltia's trip to the Magic City was not part of the Radiant Church's mission. She was supposed to leave after delivering the marriage contract in the morning.

It was she who persuaded Kertia to stay.

She knew that Keltia, as a clergyman, didn't have much time to play with her, but she still persuaded Keltia to stay.

Because she sensed that Kertia's mental state was somewhat poor.

Although Kertia didn't say anything and acted normally, her voice didn't lie.

Glovi could sense the enormous changes in Kertia.

The former Kertia spoke and acted with unwavering determination and fearlessness, lacking any human warmth.

Now, Kertia's way of speaking and acting has become more humane, but she has also become confused and timid.

This change is definitely not a good thing for clergy who focus on self-cultivation.

Glovi could hardly imagine what Kertia had gone through in the past month or so, to the point that she had stopped wearing her nun's habit, which she was so devoted to.

Come to think of it, this is the first time she's seen Kertia in casual clothes.

She was very worried about Kertia's mental state, so she somewhat willfully persuaded Kertia to stay.

Because she was worried about Glovi's mental state, Kertia agreed to stay for half a day.

So, both of them, wanting to help their friend relax, began to stroll around the magical city.

With little time left, Glovi brought Kertia to the Red Rose Merchant Guild, wanting to choose a farewell gift for her friend.

At this moment, the golden perfume Gloway was holding was called "Perfect Match," and its base described its specific effects.

It can slightly enhance mental strength and make men who smell the fragrance unconsciously like and become dependent on it, thus making them like the person wearing the perfume.

"Yes, I like it very much."

Although Kertia didn't have that need, she still smiled and nodded.

It doesn't matter what kind of perfume it is, as long as it's a gift from Gloria. Anyway, she'll just keep it as a souvenir and won't need it.

Do you like this?

Keltia picked up the pale purple perfume she had chosen and asked.

"Purple Rhyme of Pine Blossoms" slightly enhances the spiritual power of those around you and can increase their favorability through spiritual resonance.

Glover nodded in approval without even glancing at the description.

Her idea was the same as Kertia's: to keep it as a souvenir.

After choosing their gifts, the two left the Red Rose Merchant Guild.

Happy times are always fleeting, and eventually it's time to say goodbye.

"Tia, what are your plans next?"

Before reaching the exit of the Magic City, Glovi couldn't help but ask.

Kertia paused for a moment, then realized that Glovi had figured something out, and her smile froze.

Glover's question reminded her of a similar question she had asked Glover more than a month ago in the capital of the Kingdom of Lah.

Kertia was still a little confused about her future plans.

She wanted to go to the Bruwerman Empire to investigate the issue of war slaves.

But she didn't know what punishment she would receive upon returning to the Vatican, or whether the Vatican would order her to investigate the war slavery.

If the Vatican entrusts this matter to her for investigation, will she be able to do it well?

An unqualified clergyman—she has already denied herself on a spiritual level.

Perhaps resigning from the clergy position would be the best outcome.

These past few days, this thought has frequently crossed Kertia's mind.

"Believe in yourself, Tia, you'll always be the most reliable person in my heart!"

Glovi grasped Kertia's hand and said earnestly.

"Well, I will."

Kertia tried to adjust her mindset and nodded in response.

After saying goodbye, Kertia turned and left.

"Tia, I'll come find you to play after the magic festival," Glovi promised.

"Well, go back."

Kertia waved her hand with her back to her.

The figure gradually disappeared into the distance.

……

the other side.

Unsure whether Gloway recognized him, Ron quickened his pace.

They even considered running.

If it were just Glover alone, it wouldn't matter if she were recognized.

Although his fiancée's personality was hard to fathom, she was naive and easily fooled.

But the situation was different when a former saint of the Holy See was there.

This woman has been somewhat mentally unstable lately. If she finds out that Ron is not dead, who knows what kind of madness she might go through.

Of course, Ron dared to send Keltia to deliver the marriage contract because he wasn't worried that Glovi would tell Keltia that he wasn't dead.

After all, when he faked his death the first time, Glovi didn't tell Kertia. This time, he even sent over the marriage contract to show his sincerity, so Glovi was even less likely to tell her.

This is the normal situation.

The situation just now was clearly not normal.

Glover's perspective is definitely that of someone catching their fiancé cheating—her fiancé is accompanying another young woman to buy perfume.

Good grief, I thought you faked your death to do something big, but it turns out you went off to philander—from Gloway's perspective, Ron couldn't stand this.

In that situation, Ron had no way to explain, so he could only quickly slip away to reduce Glovi's anger.

He was just afraid that Grove might impulsively say to Kertia beside him, "That's Ron."

"Mr. Gatling, please slow down."

Is a dog chasing you? You're walking so fast.
