Overgeared

"Did you draw it correctly? A very nice and handsome man. Isn’t it almost at the level of rugged man? Kelkelkel!”

God of War Ares. He was the bigshot closest to gaining the title of First King. Grid now knew. If it wasn’t for Lauel, the throne of first king would’ve been occupied by Ares.

"It’s the first time I’ve heard someone calling themselves handsome. Aren’t your words too much?”

Ares had the ability to make people feel comfortable. His cheerful personality and ordinary appearance gave comfort and liking to the other person.

“Have you never heard that you are handsome? That’s strange... Aha, this friend.”

Ares smiled and poked Grid’s side with his elbow.

"Are you acting modestly in front of your lover?”

‘Lover?’

Where was his lover? Grid followed Ares’ gaze. It was Jishuka. The impressive beauty with tanned skin and elongated limbs like a model. She stood out even in a crowd of hundreds.

“...She isn’t my lover.”

"I know the rumor that you conquered both Jishuka and Yura.”

"I didn’t conquer them...”

"Obtaining the world’s finest South American flower and Oriental flower... I’m envious, envious. I would’ve had a chance if I was only 10 years younger. Well.”

"No, they aren’t my lovers. Think about it realistically. Unless I was an enviable person who saved the universe in my past life... No, wouldn’t I be trash for having two people as lovers at the same time?”

"Ohu, then you are only dating Yura? The relationship with Jishuka was just a flash of fire?”

"Sigh, stop talking."

Grid got the scent of Doran from Ares. He thought it was pointless to bother arguing with the other person. Grid grumbled and turned his head. Ares’ eyes were calm as he looked at Grid.

‘He’s the pure and honest type.’

It was hard to believe he was the owner of a kingdom. There was no embarrassment and his expression of emotions was honest. The 49 year old Ares knew that people like Grid normally didn’t stab him in the back.

‘Of course, I can’t come to a conclusion too quickly.’

The fact that the first impression was good couldn’t be denied. The Overgeared Guild might’ve used a dirty trick to forge an alliance with the Ares Army, but that had already passed. They were able to easily handle the armored elite troops thanks to the Overgeared members. Ares thought it was right to establish a good relationship with Grid and the Overgeared Guild from now on.

“I was just joking. You’re narrow-minded for a hero. Shouldn’t a man have a wider heart? Just like me! Kelkelkel!”

Ares started to make fun of the silent Grid. This old man... No, it was hard to believe he was the leader of the famous Ares Army.

‘We have to be vigilant.’

‘Is he acting?’

Jishuka and Euphemina started to warily watch Ares.

“Hah...”

Scott gave a deep sigh. It was like Lauel when he was with Grid. Jishuka and Euphemina scratched their cheeks. They roughly understood what type of person Ares was.
