I Became the Handyman That the Heroines Are Obsessed With

Episode 13 – Accompanying Serin Ekatos (5)

“Hey, Pathos? If… Our family. So, don’t you want to know about the Ekatos family?”

“No, that is. “I have work to do.”

This is already the 10th time that Serin has asked me if I would like to know about her family origins.

After repairing Serin’s beloved sword, Diamant, which was broken while defeating her golem, with her own abilities, Serin began to appeal to her own family in a strange way.

I have some questions about Serin’s family, the Ekatos family.

However, as I quietly watched Serin offering me a suggestion, I noticed that she was grateful that I had fixed her sword and it did not seem like she was trying to tell me anything.

Yes, she was similar to her boss, Manager Kim, whom I met at the company I worked for in her previous life.

‘Hey, Dongsik? ‘Do you like traveling by car?’

‘Oh, I don’t hate it…’ ….’

‘Then that’s good! Let’s go on this local business trip! ‘We can just leave tomorrow!’

‘Yes, yes? No, what do you mean…….’

‘Have a nice trip! ‘Then I’ll just leave work!’

If I think about it now, Manager Kim was the person a dog would call “Brother” When it came to him.

What does that mean?

Means dog XX.

The fact that she came up to me and kept telling me about her family does not mean that she is on the same level as Manager Kim.

To begin with, Manager Kim was a boss who was only competent in politics and incompetent in practical matters, but the person I have observed so far named Serin is a person who acts to faithfully fulfill the contract made with the client.

I also have a vague guess as to why she asked me if I was curious about her own family name.

Serine Ekatos. It’s because she wants something from me.

After being bullied by that person a few times, Manager Kim, I now understand when I see him.

What are you doing right now, that human? The director said that he will stop stealing company materials soon, but is he going crazy by now?

“Well, don’t do that. “Can’t you listen to it at least once?”

‘I want to listen to it too, but I feel like if I do, I’ll get caught up in something I can’t handle right now!’

I didn’t want to get involved in matters related to Serin’s family ‘right now’.

Currently, I have nothing and am just an ‘ordinary person who seems to have come from the Eastern Continent.’

I have an ability that I received from Epirina as a privilege in my past life, but I don’t know what the limits of this ability are.

I was confident that there would be no problem with Serin’s sword, the Diamant, if I repaired it, but I may have to pay with my life in exchange for repairing the divine weapon, a weapon made by a god that only appears in legends or myths.

So, I will have to stop by a temple or something like this later and meet Epirina and ask her to find out exactly the limits of my abilities.

And now I lack the social foundation that can protect me, such as wealth, reputation, and personal connections.

No, I am correcting this. Not at all.

Can I, who has no social foundation, be safe even after learning the secret story of Serin’s family?

My life may be physically in danger, or I may have to become a member of Serin’s family in return for learning the family’s secret history.

I hate that kind of thing. I haven’t been able to freely roam this world yet, and I haven’t even met the heroine I want to meet, but do I have to live a life in bondage to someone?

It is enough for me to have lived a life tied to the company in my previous life.

“Serine.”

“Uh, huh? Why?”

In order to convey my intention to Serin accurately, I deliberately omitted her honorific title and called her name briefly and strongly.

“I don’t want to live a life tied down by belonging to someone or somewhere.”

“… ….”

I looked at her Serin and spoke to her firmly.

I felt like if I used her formal language, she would keep clinging to me, so I deliberately used informal language.

He talks so firmly, but is he really going to keep clinging to him?

“But, but! “Can’t you at least listen to the story?”

Wow. They stick to me even though I use informal language? What on earth is the story behind this?

“…… Sorry. “It’s not like I’m curious about your story either.”

“Yeah, really? Then listen to the story… ….”

“But not now.”

I held Serin’s shoulder and looked intently into her green eyes.

“Right now, I don’t have anything.”

From now on, I have to convey her words to her with as much sincerity as possible.

“The only wealth I have accumulated is a few silver coins, and I have no social status, power, or connections.”

I looked into Serin’s eyes and told her only the truth in a firm tone.

“Do you think I can live without any problems even though I am entangled in the secret affairs of a noble family?”

“… ….”

Serin listened to me and seemed to realize something about her. Ah! She did and opened her mouth.

Not many people know that I am an ability user.

If it was revealed that I was a power user, I would be treated like a noble, but that alone did not make me completely safe.

There may be people in this world who believe that the abilities I have can be a threat to themselves or the organization, family, or country they belong to.

If people like that start targeting me, the person I am now could disappear in a quiet back alley without anyone noticing.

Just because my abilities are great, that doesn’t mean the body that uses them is also great.

“And, I don’t know what the limits of my abilities are.”

I told Serin a summary of what I was thinking.

I didn’t know where the limits of my abilities were, and even told me that I might have to use my life to fix something great.

“That… I’m sorry… I hadn’t even thought about that… ….”

After hearing what I said, Serin looked apologetic and apologized to me again and again.

Seeing Serin with a truly sorry expression on her face, I wonder if I treated her too harshly? She even thought about it.

She says that a beauty’s tears are a terrible weapon, and seeing them in front of her eyes makes her feel a little shaken.

You can’t do it. It’s one thing to completely cut off ties, but if I accurately understand the limits of my abilities and create something like a force that can help me…….

“Not right now.”

Wouldn’t it be okay to go then?

“Huh?”

As for Serin, she is the first heroine I met after coming to this world, and you should also take into account that she is from a noble family called the Ekatos family.

So, I decided to create at least a very small link.

“Later, when I feel it is safe for my name to be known all over the world.”

“Then…” Will you listen to my story then?”

“Yes.”

By that time, I will probably be fixing the weapons that God created while picking my nose.

“Can you promise?”

Serin said, holding out her little finger to me.

Do we also stick out our little fingers when making promises here?

I wondered whether I should hook my finger around Serin’s little finger, but then I reached out her hand and hooked my little finger around Serin’s little finger.

And a simple verbal promise was made by touching each other’s thumbs.

“I promised. Later, when you become famous, you will listen to my story. “Can you never forget it?”

Serin smiled brightly, as if she liked what she had made, even if it was just a verbal promise.

It seemed like the incident that happened between me and Serin was coming to an end.

◈◇◈◇◈◇◈◇◈◇◈

After a three-day journey with many hardships and hardships, I was finally able to arrive in Belsarem.

“Then, let’s assume the escort contract ends here.”

As I entered downtown Belsarem, I looked at Serin and announced the end of her contract.

After coming this far, Serin and I decided to just stop talking.

Because we had already let go of the conversation, it became difficult to use polite language again.

“Okay. If you ever need help somewhere, hold out this and ask for help. Then you will be able to get some help.”

Now that the contract has ended, we will have to go our separate ways, but Serin offered me something.

The object that Serin held out was a silver object with an emblem drawn on it that appeared to belong to a noble family.

It was similar in size to a credit card and as thick as the joint of an adult male’s little finger.

“What is this?”

“Yes, that is proof that he is someone who has helped our family.”

It is a token given to someone who has helped the family.

“Is it okay if you give me something so precious?”

Are you trying to create a connection with me with this item?

“Yes. You fixed the diamant. “I think that alone is enough to deserve it.”

I carefully stored the certificate Serin gave me in the inside pocket of her clothes, not in her bag.

If I need to use it later, I will have to take it out, so it was a good idea to keep it within reach.

“I… then. I’ll just go now. “If you ever open a store, would it be okay if I stopped by later?”

Serin was hesitantly waiting for my answer.

“As long as you don’t come here to listen to my family’s story, I will always accept you as a guest.”

Only then did Serin smile and she walked away from me.

She said, now that she has arrived in Belsarem, all she has to do is find the top and join them to go to Glesius Academy.

Wait. Glesius Academy, I’m coming!
