Two men with considerable intimidating figures and even faces courteously bowed in greeting. Delina was taken aback by their intense greetings, and right away, the two men continued with their questions.

“If it’s not too intrusive, may we ask the name of Mr. James’s lover?”

“Uh, well… It’s Del.”

“Yes! Miss Del!”

Upon Delina’s response, the two men replied resoundingly.

“Feel free to speak casually!”

“Yeah. Um… sure.”

Delina, feeling overwhelmed by their overly passionate attitude, glanced at them and asked.

“By the way, you two seem quite similar, both in name and appearance. Are you brothers?”
“Yes! That’s correct. We’re twins, but we don’t know who the older one is, so we just call each other by our names.”

Two people with undoubtedly similar faces laughed side by side. Delina, glancing at their faces for a moment, asked something she was curious about.

“Is the name ‘Top’ up there referring to the Jewelry Top?”

“Yes, that’s right. Mr. James personally came up with it.”

“He also designed the pattern on the signboard up there.”

Only then did Delina notice the pattern on the top. Seeing the monkey-shaped design, Delina chuckled. Then, Leo, who had been staring at Delina with sparkling eyes, asked.

“Hey, is it true that you’re Mr. James’s lover?”

“Yeah, why? Doesn’t it look like it?”

“No, no! It’s not in that sense. It’s just really surprising. We’ve never heard any stories about Mr. James meeting a lady, so it’s even more surprising.”

“Really? Did James say that?”

“Yes, that’s right. Even though he dealt with numerous ladies in his work, there has never been any rumors. So among ourselves, we jokingly said he married money.”

As Leo finished speaking, Leon quickly added.

“That’s right. So when you, the lover, came, everyone was shocked. We were surprised too, of course.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. He suddenly said he had some family matters to attend to, went to the Helium Empire for a while, and returned with you. Nobody could have imagined this.”

“Oh? Did James say he was going to the Helium Empire?”

“Yes. We heard that he’s starting a small shop in the Helium Empire, continuing a family tradition.”

“Ah… a small shop…”

It turned out that it was Duke Diamon who started operating a small shop. Delina just laughed heartily and spoke.

“I also came from the Helium Empire. By the way, if it’s okay, would you like to eat this? It’s dried fruit; my maid… no, a friend gave it to me.”

“If you give it, we’ll gladly eat it!”

“Thank you!”

Finding the Noah story in the Lawless Zone quite amusing, Delina placed the dried fruit on the table and asked the two men again.

“Do you know anything else about James related to the Helium Empire?”

“Well… Actually, we don’t know much because we’re the youngest, but… Ah, there’s something else related to the Helium Empire.”

“Yeah? What is it?”

“We know a bit about the Ulfgrim Duchy.”

“Oh, really?”

At the mention of the name that sounded very familiar from the mouths of the two men, Delina’s eyes widened.

“It’s a place that anyone with power and money would know. They recruit knights purely based on their strength and skills, and as much as that, there are a tremendous number of people supporting them.”

“In fact, we, too, applied for the Ulfgrim Duchy’s knight test several times. Well, we all failed, though.”

As the two men looked disappointed, Delina asked curiously.

“Why did you apply so many times?”

“Well, there are indeed excellent treatment and rewards for knights there… But also, it wouldn’t be Ulfgrim Duchy if it wasn’t a gathering place for famous people.”

Saying so, Leo grinned slightly.

“I especially admire Mr. Felic among them.”

“…Felic?”
“Yes, that’s right! That person is none other than the remarkable Ulfgrim Duchy’s youngest knight commander! Although he unfortunately retired now, he’s probably still doing something incredibly great somewhere.”

“Uh… Maybe, that person…”

‘By now, he might be crying at the Duchy.’

Delina recalled Felic, who had begged and pleaded to be taken along when she left on her journey. Of course, he had ended up curled up from a kick by Velion. Even after that, he continued to show a lingering regret.

“Oh, that person is undoubtedly amazing, but I think Miss Betty is the most remarkable. Why didn’t we hear any stories about her in this recent war? She won the battle of knight commanders against the Rune Empire!”

“…”

“Oh, it would be an unparalleled honor to see her craftsmanship at least once.”

She was seeing that craftsmanship right now. Leon was praising the dried fruits made by Betty. He continued.

“Oh, of course, you can’t leave out the person from Ulfgrim Duchy.”

“Okay, okay. Indeed, it’s that person.”

In response to Leon’s words, Leo chimed in. Understanding who they were talking about, Delina opened her mouth.

“That’s right. When it comes to Ulfgrim Duchy, Velion Duchy can’t be left out…”

“Right, the legendary jester!”

At the two men’s exclamation, the dried fruits in Delina’s hand fell to the ground.
