The Exiled First-born of the Noble House. Rising to the Top With the Worthless Skill [Null Poison]

e I do.
In fact, I was looking for you.
And it looks like you haven’t forgotten about me either, Graham.”

“Of course I haven’t.
I have yet to meet anyone other than you who gets his assessment done multiple times consecutively like you do, Chris-san.”

Saying that, Graham gently smiled.

I was worried that he may have gotten in trouble due to leaking church info to me but, it didn’t seem like he was troubled, and seemed to be doing fine which was huge relief.

“So…….you said you were looking for me but, do you have some business with me specifically?”

“No, well, not exactly business per se.
You had shown your concern for me right before I left Realzard, and so when I returned I thought I’d drop by to meet you.
The important info—–“

Right then, he showed a rare panicky look and quickly put his finger to his lips.

……….now that I think about it, he had told me that the Cardinal in the Capital was looking for me didn’t he?

I probably shouldn’t be talking about this out loud in this place of all places.

“My bad, my bad.
Not the best place to talk eh, can we switch locations? Of course if you’re okay with it, Graham.”

“Of course, I do not mind at all.
Ah, but you will have to wait until my shift is done, so it might get a little late.
Will that be fine with you?”

“Sure.
I have other business to deal with in the mean time so no worries.”

“Then, let us meet somewhere else and talk with ease.
I have a feeling I’ll be able to hear some interesting stuff so I’m quite excited.”

Looks like he’s got good instincts, so I’m probably going to get questioned in detailed it seemed.

Well, I want to hear a lot of stuff about the capital and such from him as well, so I have a feeling we’ll both get to hear a lot good stuff from each other.

“Then, let us meet again, at night.
Know any good spots Graham? I don’t much about this place so it’ll be better if you picked a spot.”

“There’s this nice joint called [Ruan].
If you’re okay with it Chris-san, how about we meet there?”

“Of course, I’m okay with it.
Then let us reconvene there again.”

“Understood.
I’ll be looking forward to it………So, will you be getting your assessment done today as well?”

An assessment eh? I only came here to find Graham so I don’t really care about seeing my stats.

Since leaving Edestor, all I have done is the battle with [Under Eye] so there’s not really any scope of seeing any big change in my abilities.

I do kinda want to check if the [Bloody tears] I bought have any effect but…….

Even if that was the case, I bought it specifically to use during my fight against Klaus anyway so there wasn’t really any meaning to it.

“Nah, I’ll pass this time.
I just came here to find you, Graham.”

“Well, that’s rare.
The image in my head of you was Chris-san=Ability Assessment after all.”

<>

“These days, I don’t get my assessments done that much when compared to before.
Anyways, I’ll take my leave for now.”

“Of course.
Let us meet again at night.
I’ll be in your care.”

“Yeah, likewise.”

And so, I parted with Graham for now, and left the church.

I was glad that graham was doing perfectly fine, and above all I was happy he remembered me.

While looking forward to our night chat, I headed to the capital gates where I was supposed to meet up with Esta and Ralf.
