Kapitel 616: Good things by nature will be coveted by many

Ah, is this how it feels to be slathered in a protagonist's halo--was what I thought at that time. Hmm...maybe because I was doing it with the Hero? Logically, he was the protagonist of this world, right?

"Huh? Huuh? What is this?" Zarfa jumped to my side. "Where did you pick this up from?"

I received the box from Heraz and brought it to the table. "Do you remember how that noble house fought so much to get the relic back in the auction?"

"Yeah, but--" Zarfa gasped. "Oh! Did you ask your people to investigate them?"

I smiled and dropped the bead onto the plate, watching it roll toward the other four. "Well, there's a lot of things needed to be investigated from them."
