597, a bunch of good friends together

Charles certainly had no objections and said, "Since we are going to the military district in Inglima, let's bring two more friends."

Julian smiled slightly and said, "Ban Lanmalock has come, but Miss Sumei hasn't, she's a civilian worker and doesn't need to go to the battlefield."

When Charles heard this, he sighed deeply. He was also a civilian worker, but at least half of his working time was spent fighting, and he had very little time to actually handle paperwork.

Julian, familiar with Xel City, quickly led Charles to a restaurant and, for the smallest denomination of Byron currency, had a passing child fetch Ban Lanmalock.

Of course, Julian had the experience not to pay the reward in advance...

About half an hour later, Ban Lanmalock appeared at the restaurant. As the youngest lion of Britannia, he was extremely happy to see Charles. Ever since he had lost a duel to Charles, he had considered him his best friend.
