“Are you the one who conquered the Tower of Tarros?”

Mary's father, Raymond, was aware that I had conquered the tower.

So, upon hearing my name, he looked at me with a peculiar expression.

“...May I ask how you know that?”

What I was curious about was how the fact of my conquest of the tower had spread.

“It’s the conquest of a legendary tower. The high-ranking nobles of the kingdom already know of it. Especially since it was conquered by just the two of you.”

Well, even before the great change, right after conquering the tower, I had shouted my name in pubs and such.

It’s likely that my name spread easily.

Moreover, it seems my name had also circulated in the border areas due to weapon repairs and crafting.

And Raymond looked at me with a satisfied gaze, as if confirming that I was indeed the subject of that rumor.

He even wore a faint smile.@@novelbin@@

‘No wonder he and Mary are similar.’

An indifferent expression paired with a light smile.

Mary had moments when she wore that kind of smile too.

“Right, I heard you’re my daughter’s friend at the academy.”

Just a moment ago, Mary introduced me as a friend to her father.

Of course, from her hesitation just before the introduction, it seemed she was pondering how to introduce me.

Perhaps, due to her strict father, she decided to frame it as just a friendship.

And Raymond seemed to be aware of that as he continued speaking.

“But from the atmosphere, it seems you’re not just friends.”

“......”

I couldn’t answer his question and subtly averted my gaze.
