A few days had passed since the tournament had ended. During this time several changes took place within the kingdom. One of these changes included the way in which Grim's name was spread across the country. After showcasing his savage strength and dominating presence against the magic knight nobles, Grim's popularity seemed to have hit its peak as there was not a single commoner who didn't know of him. As a result of this, the restaurant that Rebecca worked at also became famous once it was known that Grim used to work there. The boss of the restaurant even capitalized on Grim popularity and started selling Grim figurines. (He made a killing).
The next thing worth mentioning was the fact that Grim now had a dedicated fan club. Apparently, that arrogant nature of his held a certain charm that seemed to be a big turn on for a lot of women in the Clover kingdom. Seeing a noble like Nebra openly submit to him despite the difference in status caused something inside of them to just click. But what was really weird was the fact that several noblewomen were secret members and even provided funds for the organization.
To them, Grim was something never seen before, he was something new. His power, his arrogance, his passion for battle, everything about him was just so wild and different from what they were used to seeing. The 3 most replayed scenes from the tournament were the moments in which Grim interacted with both Nebra and Selena. From the way he looked down on both women to the way he touched them and commanded them, every second of these scenes drove these noblewomen crazy with desire. It was to the point that some of them discussed ways in which they wanted him to ravage them.
On the other hand of the spectrum, there were several noblemen who couldn't stand Grim's public mockery of the hierarchy. Many called for his head and even sought for an audience with the king. But after experiencing Grim's attitude first hand, the king wanted nothing more to do with that boy lest he lead him into a deeper state of depression.
With no one else to go to, the nobles made a decision to air their grievances to the chairman of the magic counsel Damnatio Kira.

While everyone was celebrating the royal knight tournament, night had already fallen and Grim had decided to see what the people of the capital did during the late hours. Hopping from roof to roof, Grim watched with interest as he saw street performers playing a show, restaurants popping with cheers and loud music.
'Looks like everyone's having a good time.'
Enjoying the atmosphere, Grim kept watching what people were doing until he suddenly came upon an interesting conversation. Standing a busy street corner, two commoners, one with blonde hair and the other with brown stood at a street corner looking at the other side of the road.
"I just can't do it man." The brown haired man sighed.
"C'mon, sure you can. Just close your eyes when you're back there." His friend encouraged.
"Its not that... She's just..."
"Just what? Ugly? Fat? "
Looking over at the scantily dressed woman on the other side of the road, the brown haired man frowned slightly.
"She's just kinda... dumb."
"What? Of course she is! Why do you think she's so cheap? And its not like she's going to run your finances for you. Plus this is the devil's threesome we're talking about! Do you really want to miss it just because she's an idiot?"
"No... But I've got to have some kind of integrity y'know. I mean you can't even have a conversation with the broad. And I think my wife is starting to catch onto what we're doing."
"You worry to much. No one's gonna find out." The blonde man tried comforting his friend.
"You don't understand." The brown haired man shook his head. "Someone told my wife that they saw me on this corner last week."
*Sigh* "Alright then, I guess I'll have to do this one alone... again..."
Hearing the pause in his friend's tone, the brown haired man looked at his friend for a minute before responding.
"Are you really trying to guilt trip me for not having a threesome?"
"No, but you always back out at this last minute, remember the fishing trip?"
"Oh c'mon! That was totally not my fault! My wife stabbed me!!"
"Yeah, but you still backed out of the trip."
"I was bleeding to death!"
"I- *sigh* you're right." The brown haired man relented and put his hands on his friend's shoulder.
Seeing his friend looking so down, the blonde haired dude hardened his resolve. "Y'know what, lets do it!"
"What! Seriously?!" He friend raised his head in surprise.
"Yeah, lets go bang that cheap hooker together!"
"You mean it?!"
"Yeah."
Nodding to each other, the two men approached the woman on the other side of the road and the three of them disappeared into a dark alley.
Standing a top a building and watching the entire thing play out, Grim had a puzzling look on his face.
'I get that they're friends and all... but is it normal to want to do that with a friend?'
Shaking his head and putting in the incident behind him, he flew up into the air and towards the noble district.
---
Bored of listening to other's conversations, he decided to walk the streets of the capital and take in the sights.
'So this is the noble district eh... Its quite clean.'
In a couple of days, those who passed the royal knight exam would be meeting up with the wizard king for a briefing and strategy meeting. Until that time came, Grim decided to do something he very rarely did: Relax.
"Um... good evening, sir." A woman's voice called out to him.
"Hmm?" He raised his head. A woman in her late thirties/early forties with a beautiful face. She was wearing a beautiful dark red dress that fit her tantalizing slim body and big milkers. Her long brown hair was tied into a braid and hung down loosely in front of her shoulder.
[A/n: Basically its the mom hairstyle from anime, you know the one I'm on about.]
Looking at him, the woman's face reddened slightly as her eyes looked at him shyly.
"You... *gulp* You're the one from the tournament... You're Grim." she asked wearily.
While it wasn't strange for someone to know about him after all the noise he made during the tournament, he couldn't help but frowned in confusion since he didn't know this woman.
"Excuse me?"
"I- Can you come with me please?" she said shyly.
"What?"
"I-I would like you to accompany me to a social gathering as my guest."
Grim's famous!!
And if any of you have seen the Konosuba movie you'll get the title reference.
