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

ne, so I guess ‘savings’ will have to continue.”

This is just my personal wish, but who doesn’t want their own ‘clan house’………….Also, I want to be able to grow my own poisonous plants safely.

“A house!? You love dreaming big huh…….Not that I’m against it or anything.”

“I am wholeheartedly in favour as well.
It’ll really feel like we have ‘made it’ once we can buy our own house, wont it?”

“Good to see some excitement——–but we digress, so who’s going into the shower first?”

“By all means, please go first if wish Chris-san.”

“I don’t mind Chris having first dibs either.”

“Then, I’ll take you two up on that offer and head in.”

Since they gave me the option, I happily decided to wash off my sweat.

But still, to think we’ve got to a point where we can realistically start thinking of buying a house.

Only a couple months, these two wouldn’t have even dared utter something like this.
But they are growing after all.

I thought of such things as I picked my spare clothes and headed to the bath.

“Chris-san, is he finally in the bath?”

“I can hear the shower so probably.”

“…….it’s amazing isn’t it, that we could actually stay in a place like this.”

After confirming that Chris was in the bath, Esta muttered with deep emotions as she stared outside the window.

It was a scene she couldn’t even imagine before she had met Chris, yet here we were.
It was real.

“We talked about this while on the way here but, our lives really got changed.”

“Yeah.
We used to think our days of grovelling on the ground would end when we undertook the [Heaven’s Blessing] but……..that didn’t happen.
Yet he did it, singlehandedly changed our entire lives.”

“And to think we tried to steal from him eh?”

“True.
Sometimes my heart hurts just thinking back on that day.
More so because even then, he was originally trying to be kind and help me before I attacked him.”

“Chris might say ‘don’t worry about it’ if he heard this but………I don’t think we can ever repay this debt, even with our lives.”

“The day he took us into our party…..no, even before that.
The day he accepted living with us, our fate was already decided.
We, are going to live for his sake.”

With a completely serious gaze, Esta spoke so.

Chris will definitely hate it if he heard this, and even I’d be embarrassed to openly say it like her, but the fact is that I too have already resolved to devote my life to Chris.

“Esta, you and me, no matter what happens in the future will always be Chris’ allies.”

“Goes without saying.
But before that Ralf, you need to get your injury treated and quickly start being of help to him and the party okay?”

“If only I could make that happen with just work eh……..But, if I really get healed, I’ll train enough to kill me, just to get stronger.”

“And I too, will train in magic like I could die any day.
And I’ll study other things as well.”

As we reaffirmed our resolve and will, the sound shower stopped at the same time.

To make sure Chris doesn’t even get a hint about this conversation, we quickly exchanged glances and started chatting about random things as if the previous talk never happened.
