My Magical System

Chapter 138: Reward

(Please checked the book My Guardian System: The Trader and send powerstone.)

Yeman showed a skeptical face. Was it truly fine for him to choose a reward he wants? He was a little doubtful. But since the emperor himself was the one who asked him which reward he wanted to choose, he could only take advantage of the offer.

While he was pondering about the reward he wanted to choose, Mina and the others were curiously waiting for his reply.

Just then. “Your Majesty, can I have a piece of land?”

“....”

Everyone was silent.

They did not expect that he would ask for it. Why did he choose it? Is there a reason behind it? No one can tell what was in his mind.

.....

Yeman wondered about their reactions. Nonetheless, wasn’t it a good reward? No one would bother you if you did nothing in that land. After all, it was yours. So you are free to do what you want to do.

But the people around him had surprised faces upon hearing him. Even Mina and Aunt Claire. If there was someone who had different reactions from the rest, it was his sister and Night.

Nevertheless, he had no idea about their reactions.

The emperor stared at him with a serious face. ‘Crap!’ Yeman swore upon noticing that maybe he asked too much. He wanted to take back his words but it was already too late.

But then he noticed the emperor opened his mouth once again.

“Young man, it’s not like I can’t give a piece of land to you, but can you tell me the reason why you wanted a piece of land?” The emperor asked him in a calm voice. However, he could feel from his voice that he was demanding a proper answer.

‘Hm, since it comes to this.’ He thought. “Uh...” he wondered if the emperor had a way to know if he was lying or not. Because if not, he could lie, but what if he had? Tsk! Especially that it was a magical world. It wasn’t weird to find a person who could discern the authenticity of a person’s words.

‘Crap!’ He had no choice huh. “I have no real reason, your majesty.”, “Eh?” Everyone was dumbfounded by his reply. Sensing the atmosphere around him, ‘Did, did I messed up?’ He felt cold sweat behind him. Damn, facing the man who was the pinnacle of the empire was truly suffocating. It’s hard to maintain a calm demeanor.

He took a peek at the emperor’s expression. He was showing nothing except his discerning eyes. He heard the surrounding people whispering at each other. They must be talking about his absurd request.

‘Damn.’

However, the rising murmurs died down instantly when the emperor guffawed. HAHAHA!!!

“???”

Question marks floating above his head. Is he laughing because of the absurdity of his request? Or...

“HAHA, I see, don’t worry. I will arrange a piece of land to reward you!”

Yeman sighed in relief upon hearing it. Looks like, the emperor wasn’t angry. He just found it funny.

“However, young man. It wasn’t easy to own a piece of land,” the emperor said. “Is it?” He asked subconsciously. But in his mind, he was asking if it was true that it wasn’t easy to own the land. “Regardless, I will send my messenger to you when we find the suitable land to reward you.”

Before the emperor left, he said his congratulations again towards everyone’s achievement at the mission.

Actually, not only him who got the reward. Commander Borge Skybird also got rewarded for his command. And Mayu also got a reward for her being the squad leader of the best performing squad in that mission.

Mayu sighed in relief. It was a good thing that Brother Eman had performed well in the duel but. Won’t it turn bad for him? He beat up one of the descendants of the Gentlewind family. That family was known for bad rumors. Even she would have rather not associate with them. Anyway, why did he ask for a piece of land?

While Mayu was worrying about it, she failed to notice that Yeman was walking towards her.

“Sister Mayu,” he called out. But she did not react. On the other hand, Kurz and the others approached him and said their thoughts regarding the duel a while ago.

“My badass bro, the soldier of great feats, kukuku. Congrats on the win! Haha, you’ve kicked the dude’s ass pretty well eh!” Kurz said jokingly.

“Ahaha...” Yeman laughed wryly from Kurz’s teasing tone. “Well, it can’t be helped...” he said while scratching the side of his face. Although he told them not to reveal that he was the killer of that Rat Lord, maybe the elder sister found it wrong to steal the other’s achievements.

“Here, Eman bro!” One of Kurz’s friends handed him a glass of expensive wine.

The group teased him, saying he looked so cool in the duel.

“Eh? Little bro, Eman!” Just then, Mayu finally noticed him.

“Un...” Yeman then thanks her. “No, no big deal...” she said. “Regardless, come here,” she dragged him in the corner. He followed her. He stared at her in wonder. But he guessed that she wanted to talk about something in private.

When they arrived at their destination, Yeman asked her in a calm voice why she revealed the truth that he was the one who killed the Rat Lord. Mayu laughed descendingly and said sorry for failing her promise. She told him that it wasn’t her style to credit herself at someone else’s achievements. But if there was no reward involved in it, she didn’t mind hiding the truth. But since there was a reward, she thought that it would be better that the person who actually achieved would receive the reward.

Yeman nodded understandably. “Well, it can’t be helped.”

Then he noticed Mayu’s expressions turned serious. “Regardless, do you know that person?” She asked him.

“Eh? Who do you mean, Sister May?” He honestly had no idea who she meant by that person.

“That Jura.”

She replied.

“Ah...” Yeman slightly narrowed his eyes upon hearing Jura’s name. It was the last name he wanted to hear. “No, I know nothing.” He shook his head. “Uhm, is Sister May know him?” He asked.

“I do not particularly know about him, but he was from a popular family. I mean, it wasn’t just a popular family but. An infamous family...” Mayu said and rephrased her words regarding her description of the Gentlewind family.

“HMM...”

She noticed him shutting his mouth.

“In any case, Brother Eman, don’t let your guard down. If possible, please be aware and stay away from that person. Though it seemed too late now, sigh.”

He scratched his face and felt a little embarrassed. It was the second time that an adult someone of the opposite sex had openly felt worried towards him.

He was at a loss for words regarding it.
