Back To the Beginning
The Phoenix 2 Invitation

"Hey, Noland! For the next I leave it to you!" arthur whispered beside me.

"Huh? Meanin?" my question is not to understand.

"It's about our business with Mr. Wolf, and you're gonna take care of it next time, okay?"

"Wait a minute, didn't you cause all this? and why did you slap him on me and look like you ran away from your responsibilities?"

"Trust me, Noland, I actually wanted to settle this together, but my eyes were no longer able to compromise. I've been so sleepy that I have no problem sleeping on this ground" explained Arthur.

I looked more closely at him to see the truth of his words. It seemed like she was really very sleepy in her way that was already somewhat staggering and her eyelids that looked heavy.

"... All right, I'll take care of it. But don't think I'll do this for free."

"Haha, you also seem to have contracted with Mr.Meinhard! Yes, I'll replace it later. I leave our business with Mr. Wolf to you."

"But shouldn't we call him Mr. Edwyn?" my many.

"It's up to you, but I think Mr. Wolf is easier to remember" Arthur replied with a sleepy yawn.

"And Arthur, can we tell him everything?"

"That's all free in your hands, just do what you think is best for our journey. But if you ask my advice... Think of her like Grandma Milin."

"Why are you so trusting this time? didn't we just meet her?"

"Just take it like giving trust. We can't work together if we don't trust each other, can we?"

"... Already yes, the more I talk the more sleepy I get. Good luck!" arthur closed the conversation.

He walked away from Mr. Edwiyn and exchanged his position with me. From then on I responded to all the questions from her with Chloe's hand still holding it beside me.

......................

"So, if you may know, who is that child?" ask Mr. Edwyn by looking towards Chloe.

I knew this question would come up. When questioned like that, Chloe seemed to be a little nervous there. In order to gain her trust, I will choose the best answer.

"She is Chloe, our new travel companion, we met during a visit to the Breithorn kingdom a few days ago."

"In the kingdom huh?" said Mr. Edwyn, processing my information. "By the way about your trip, can you tell me? I'm a little interested in hearing it" he continued.

"Of course, with pleasure Mr. Edwyn!"

I recounted our entire journey and maintained that our goal for this trip was to work to help the families in our hometown.

All the stories I've told him from the beginning of the journey, coming to Monte Rosa, meeting Mr. Meinhard, and continuing to Breithorn. Seeing that I was telling it truthfully, Mr. Edwyn seemed happy to believe it.

"Son Chloe, how was the trip? pleasant?" asked Mr. Edwyn after learning of our trip to the southern area.

"Yes, it's fun" Chloe replied shyly.

"Good then. If you're tired you can rest first" said Mr. Edwyn offering Chloe a break.

After getting a direct offer, Chloe replied with a headband which meant she wanted to stay longer here.

"really? your journey is far away, right? if you want to rest first do not hesitate."

"Thank you for the offer, Mr. Edwyn. But here is something we want to talk about, too" I politely declined his offer.

"What's that?" tanyakanya.

"We want to ask about the lost royal treasure" I said clearly.

"Hmm, the lost royal treasure huh... Your current goal, right?" tanyakanya.

"Yes," I replied confirming.

"I'm sorry, but I don't have any detailed information about the location. If I had it, I'd definitely find it and sell it back to the kingdom."

"Well, that's true too."

"You were given the task of searching for the three treasures which were triggered by an incident some time ago, the looter of the Breithorn kingdom. Even though I've already loaded it and published it, my knowledge of the location of the treasure today is zero blank" explained Mr. Edwyn.

"Eh? Did I not tell you?"

"As yet Me.Edwyn."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot. It's all about our company's work."

"Phoenixes..."

"Yes, Phoenix! we are a newspaper company. We provide information as fast and bright as the Phoenix bird hopes."

"Newpaper company?! Newspapers, posters like that?"

"Sure, and many more. We are the master of information in this kingdom. You guys never seem to read the papers in this kingdom, have you?"

"ah! remember, we have never read it."

"It's a shame you don't know how big our company is... So how? are you interested in our company? you guys want to join, right?"

"We're still being offered?"

"of course! I was only interested in perfume at first, but now I'm more and more interested in you."

"Em, but we're under contract with Mr.Meinhard."

"It's okay, anyway later he asked me to market the product in this kingdom, so we will become a team as well in the end," he assured me. "No need to worry, I will also help you to find the three treasures."

That seems to be very helpful. This is a mutually beneficial agreement.

"That sounds exciting! alright we'll join!"

"Haha good! ...I still don't think Mr. Meinhard thinks of me as his friend, I we we're trading partners just for profit."

"Mr.Meinhard can't be honest with his feelings. But I also strongly believe that if Mr. Edwyn is Mr. Meinhard's friend, you're both very kind."

"really? but still, my basic foundation is to make a profit!" he said with pride. "Well, for more details I'll tell you tomorrow. We're ending our conversation today, you're tired, aren't you?"

"Thank you Mr. Edwyn, our conversation today was very pleasant. We have permission to leave here to find lodging because it seems to be getting late" I said farewell to Mr. Edwyn.

"I won't allow it."

"Em... What does that mean, Mr.Edwyn?"

"You stay here, you can see how many nights it is now. There are rarely empty inns at the moment, and there may also be a lot of evil out there. So you guys just stay here, we have plenty of empty rooms for guests, baby if not occupied."

"But, Mr. Edwyn"

"Aren't I your boss from now on? you must obey what I command," he said firmly.

His attitude instantly changed drastically, he was different from the person I just spoke to earlier, he now looked like a very firm superior with his subordinates.

Since I had already agreed that we would join him, we were basically his subordinates from now on. I can't refuse anymore.

"God... Well Mr. Edwyn, we gladly accept."

Mr. Edwyn simply replied with his smile like he managed to act perfectly.

Mr. Edwyn called some of his servants to guide us to our room for tonight. Honestly, I'm so exhausted, and so is Chloe. Although he was only listening, I could realize that he had fallen asleep several times in this chair. And Arthur.

"Hey, Arthur. Let's get up, we'll spend the night here" I said by inviting her body to wake her from the dream world.

Arthur opened his eyes and suddenly raised his right hand upwards.

"Well! Mr.Wolf! I have a proposal!"

It seemed like he had missed a few moments.

"Already, Arthur. Tomorrow, our conversation is over."

"Huhah! you still have plenty of time. But this time rest first, tomorrow we talk.

"Hey?!!" arthur said he could not believe it.
