System vs Rebirth

After coming back to his house and taking a rest for a little while, Noel went around the town to help the people. Of course, he simply wanted to get more Honor Points.

However, when he was strolling around, he encountered an unexpected meeting. It was with the woman he saved yesterday, Kirika.

"Welcome. Do you want any fruits?" Kirika smiled, greeting his customer before finding Noel was the customer. "Eh? Noel Ardagan?"

"Oh?" Noel didn't know how to respond since Kirika always wore a cold expression during the training. He never expected that Kirika could make a big and warm smile like this. She would become a star in everyone's heart if she showed such a thing to the trainees. Unfortunately for her, Noel didn't have any excitement seeing such a smile because he had lost too much, including a part of his emotion toward women. Even though he accepted that his eyes were clouded by revenge, he still couldn't accept women in general, especially those around his age.

"Oh, my. Who is this, Kirika?" A middle-aged woman rose from the ground after taking out some fruits from the basket on the ground.

"This is… Noel Ardagan."

"Ah, he's a noble? I-I'm sorry for disrespecting you, Sir." The woman panicked and immediately lowered her head. She even went all the way to kneel on the ground to ask for forgiveness.

Noel only smiled and said, "It's fine, Ma'am. I'm just a fallen noble, you don't need to respect me."

The woman was stunned for a second as she didn't know how to respond.

"He is Noel Ardagan. Although he is a fallen noble, he is one of the most hardworking men among the trainees. He also saved my life yesterday."

"Ah, so he was the gentleman that saved you from the demons?" The woman widened her eyes in shock.

"It's fine. I was the one who placed the traps, so it might be my fault."

"I've heard the story from my daughter. Whether it's the trap or not, I know that the demons are scary. If not for your traps, my daughter would have been in a more dangerous situation." The woman looked at the fruits and immediately picked some of the best. "Please have this as my thanks for saving my daughter."
