Overgeared

“Are you going to see Marie Rose? Hmm... Do whatever you want.”

It was neither Grid’s intention nor meaning to ask Braham for permission. He just thought it wasn’t polite to contact Marie Rose without informing Braham.

“It’s okay?”

Grid expected a violent reaction from Braham. From Braham’s point of view, Marie Rose was someone Braham had a deep-rooted enmity with. Grid thought Braham would be angry with him for meeting her. Yet Braham was surprisingly sober. “Why wouldn’t it be okay? It is up to you who you meet and what you do. It doesn’t matter even if you have a liaison with her or not.”

“T-The term liaison is a bit... in the first place, I’m not interested in her.”

Grid looked around like someone was listening. Marie Rose was pure and bewitching. She might have the most ideal ratio of beauty, but surprisingly, she wasn’t to Grid’s taste. Perhaps it was because her beauty was so perfect that it felt unrealistic. In the first place, Grid had people he loved. Shifting his eyes to a new woman when he couldn’t even organize his relationships properly with the women already in his life? He couldn’t do that unless he was a son of a bitch.

“I mean it doesn’t matter if you cooperate... what did you take it for?”

The embarrassed Grid coughed and asked straightforwardly, “Hum hum, can you be amiable with Marie Rose?”

Braham wondered, “What is your purpose?”

Purpose? Of course, it was to eat and live well. He wanted his family, colleagues, and people to be happy and peaceful. The necessary processes to achieve this ultimate wish were...

“Destroy the great demons in hell, help the four gods of the East Continent, and save Hexetia in Heaven.”

“Destroying the great demons is among them. That is also my wish and Marie Rose’s duty. It isn’t bad to join forces for a while if there is a part that matches our purpose. Personal feelings are just a luxury in front of the cause.”

Magicians were extremely intelligent people. As long as Braham recognized himself as a ‘magician’ instead of a ‘vampire,’ he would be able to postpone any resentment toward Marie Rose. Grid was reminded of Kasim. The man who swallowed his grudge against the empire for the future of the Overgeared Kingdom...

Kasim and Braham were truly very good people.

“Um...”

Lord was now too far away even for Barbatos’ Vision. Grid came back from the memory of his conversation with Braham and made up his mind as he stood with his back against the setting sun.

‘Let’s go.’

He could intuitively tell that a meeting with Marie Rose couldn’t be avoided just because he didn’t want to be in a relationship with her. They would be involved in the future anyway. it was better to establish a good relationship with her. Above all, Braham wasn’t worried about Grid going to meet Marie Rose. Braham was well aware of Marie Rose’s personality, so it meant that the possibility of her harming Grid was low.
