Reincarnated into a Game As the Hero’s Friend

Chapter 40

*3rd POV

Mazell and Luguentz were both escorted out of the mansion by a butler. Then, without actually meaning to, they both looked back to the mansion simultaneously and sighed.

That guy, hes strange.

I think theres a better description for him but well I understand your meaning and I agree.

Mazell answered Luguentz muttering with a bitter smile. Even as his friend, it was still hard for Mazell to keep up with Welners thoughts.

That was reasonable. Welners way of thinking was based on the game scenario, his experience as a Japanese, and the fact that this world was an otherworld. Furthermore, all his actions were done to destroy his future death flags.

From others perspectives, it looked like Welner did not think about the advantages, disadvantages, losses, and gains of his action. The basis of his action was a completely different set of common sense compared to the common sense of this world. It would be hard for others to understand his actions.

Is that how all high and mighty nobles acted?

Or perhaps, thats how a real genius acted.

If Welner heard Mazells words, he would probably spat out his tea in surprise. Welner himself was aware that he was just a mediocre person, not some kind of genius. Welner was also aware that he was far from how normal nobles would act.

But from the perspective of Mazell and Luguent, thats not true.

This is something that Welner did not know. The devil who is the mastermind behind the demon outbreak left a chilling threat to Mazell and Luguentz as it died causing them both to think that the knights had suffered big damage.

Yet, when they hurried up and returned, they found that the damage suffered by the knights was far less than their imagination and they heard it was all thanks to Welner.

Mazell couldnt help but be surprised as Welner had crushed the devils ploy.

After that, Mazell also saw how Welner skillfully prepared maps and people for the merchants corps expedition and he saw the Veritza Fortress fall as Welner had predicted. All this time, Welners judgment has never missed.

As they both did not know about the games story, perhaps their misunderstanding is only natural.

Its hard for me to keep up with him but since he called me his friend, I need to do my best.

Haha, you sure are going through a hard time.

Hearing Mazells determination, Luguentz laughed lightly. Welner has always thought he will never be a match for Mazell, the protagonist, but the fact is, Mazell himself kept working hard to keep up with Welner.

In the first place, the reason why Mazells level is surprisingly high lies in Welner himself. It was a result of Mazells effort so he wont be left in the dust by Welner. If someone else can peek at their thoughts, they will probably be laughing.

First of all, we need to think about the person we will meet tomorrow.

Right. Im curious about what kind of person he is.

Though he says that, Mazell is confident that its going to be fine since Welner is the one that recommended that person. Seeing Mazells confident face, Luguentz teased, If youre a woman you will already fall in love with Welner.

Hmm I wonder? Im sure I wont fall for his face though.

Luguentz smiles bitterly when at Mazells serious answer. Mazell didnt realize that and continued his words, But well, he has popularity among girls you know.

AhWell, maybe?

Personal valor was highly valued in this world. Thats why when Welner just started to enroll at the academy, titles such as The son of Minister of Ceremonies and The heir of a Count house wont make others think highly of Welner. But now, others evaluation of Welner has completely changed.

The words that Welner fought bravely against the demon outbreak had spread. After that, his accomplishment in the Veritza Fortress incident as the tactical commander has given him the reputation of being an excellent young general among the knights. That reputation has also spread to the general public.

Adding to that, Welner has the peerage of vice count given to him by the royal family. That means the royal family has recognized him as the official heir of the count. Theres also a rumor that hes liked by the Crown Prince. Frankly, the words that Welner was an attractive partner for engagement has continuously spread rapidly.

Ironically, Welner didnt know about his fame. After all, hes recently been too busy to attend the academy so he never heard these things.

After that, we need to confirm this thing Welner handed to us.

As they were leaving, Welner gave them a drawing of the Veritza Fortress interior, along with the word The merchants corps was still on their way to return It was a very simple drawing but that must be because its just a rough draft. Well, this drawing alone was enough to conclude that Welner didnt have the slightest bit of talent in drawing.

To understand the drawing, they need to do something close to deciphering code but it was something Welner gave them so confirming the drawing accuracy as much as possible wont hurt them. The three of them knew that the drawing was supposed to be a national secret but none of them mentioned it.

Welner is always obsessed with drawings.

Now that I think about it, thats true.

It might be the influence of Welners knowledge that this world used to be a game, but Welner is always obsessed with drawing (map). This was also something that people of this world found strange.

The people of this world used drawing as something like a blueprint, but they didnt have the concept of using drawing as a means to understand so you can say that Welners obsession with drawings was strange. After all, this world didnt have drawings that are close to satellite map or surveyed map

Well, I dont really care since its fun.

I feel that Welner will say why are you having fun!?

After Mazell says that, they both laugh and continue to walk in the night. The next day, they meet Elrich Kluger and decide to form a party with him.

T/N: Misunderstanding continues. Its funny to know that Welners drawing is so incomprehensible that reading it is like deciphering a code

Hey, sorry for the late release I was sick. My GERD acted up then I caught a fever. All better now though still feel dizzy.
