I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World…-Chapter 53: The Right Connections 2

"Well, that went better than I imagined… He’s a hard one to get to know, but just maybe he’ll add a few gold coins to your payment for your territory later…" Chloe told Logan, while having Kai help her find the count.

"There he is!" Kai pointed out. They found a handsome man in his thirties, busy talking to a few noblewomen. His gaze soon turned to the boy pointing him out.

"I take it you were looking for me?" the middle-aged man said, radiating a powerful blue aura that tinged all his features.

"Yes, it’s good to see you, Count Yarvs. We wanted to meet you as a fellow neighbor to our lord’s new territory. Let me introduce you to Baron Logan, one of the heroes," Kai said, trying to prove his worth. He also did not want Chloe to speak to the enigmatic and charming Count.

Especially since he was known to keep various mistresses and had two wives, he was only pardoned from the war because his father, a great general, joined the current conflict.

To protect heirs from dying, the kingdom allowed the firstborn to remain in charge of their territory.

"The star of the hour! It’s a pleasure to meet you, young hero. Your feats are already in every child’s bedtime stories. My daughters are already fans of you heroes," Count Yarvs praised, pointing to a ten to twelve-year-old who was busy cheering Brian and his goons, who were showing off in front of various ladies as usual.

"Yes, well, I wanted to meet my neighbors. I hope we can work together to help our lands prosper in the future, Count. I never thought I would have a territory, so all of this is new to me," Logan said, trying to count the number of women around the count.

"Sorry, but we must be leaving. Thank you for having us," Kai said respectfully, his actions refined as if trying to compete with the noble.

"Worry not, I am sure we will have time to speak at a later date. Please do send an invitation when you have settled, young hero," the count said, waving as he returned to being the center of attention among his crowd of ladies.

With only one left to go, Logan wanted to take a breather. The party seemed to be ending soon, so he knew he had to hurry.

"Before we meet the Baroness, I need you to do something…" Chloe said, pulling him into a corner.

She then got out a comb from somewhere and started brushing his hair to the side and fixing parts of his clothes that were crumpled or messy.

"Baron Logan, I know you don’t care about your appearance, but you should try working on it when speaking to ladies. It will really help you, especially since you have so many good traits. Right, Kai?" Chloe looked toward Kai as if asking for help.

"Man… why do you hide your face? I think it’s even better than the womanizing count." Kai nodded while giving a thumbs up, a new gesture that had taken the kingdom by storm after the heroes introduced it.

"You know, you don’t have to raise your arm to do a thumbs up. But thanks, Kai and Chloe. Now can we hurry and get this over with?" Logan said, trying to resist the urge to fix his hair back into place, feeling strange with his entire face exposed.

"Certainly, the Baroness shouldn’t be too hard to find," Chloe said as she spotted the final objective for the day.

The next person they approached was a young lady in her mid to late twenties, surrounded by a flock of admirers.

It was even harder to spot her, as many of the guys around were taller than Logan, muscular, and seemed to be pushing each other.

"Make way, the hero needs to talk to Baroness Elvir," Kai said in a stern tone, making those nearest in the crowd turn to face Logan, some of them sneering after looking at the handsome hero.

"I said move it, we don’t have much time," Chloe added, placing force in her arm to shove those in the way.

"It seems I have a visitor. Make way, please. Don’t worry, this shouldn’t take long,"

Logan heard a sweet voice that didn’t match her age. It belonged to a frail but beautiful woman whose pale skin added a special charm, evoking a desire to take care of her.

The woman had a modest figure, which she displayed in a blue skin-tight dress. She had large green eyes and brown hair with green highlights, suggesting she was possibly a wind magic user.

Her weak appearance did not fool Logan. She seemed dangerous somehow, like a deadly flower that would slowly ensnare her prey. He shivered as she looked him up and down.

"My, my, what joy to be sought after by such a young hero. To what do I owe the pleasure of our meeting?"

"It seems we will be neighbors, my lady… I just came to greet you in the hope of... creating a relationship between us," Logan stammered as the lady looked at him with a deep hungry gaze.

"How cute. I appreciate and welcome the gesture, hero. You should invite me to tea sometime; I won’t put up too much resistance," the young baroness said, moistening the side of her lip with the tip of her tongue.

Logan gulped and made a goofy laugh. "Uh, yeah, I think that would be best. I will send an invitation once I am settled. Thanks for your time."

The boy finished as fast as he could, not only to minimize his awkwardness but also to avoid provoking the men around the baroness.

"Well, I think that went well. She at least took an interest in you," Kai said with a suggestive smile.

"A little too well, if you ask me. Maybe having you look like that made things worse…" Chloe said with an apologetic tone.

"It’s fine, let’s just go…" Logan replied, feeling mentally drained.

Soon, the trio was back at their original spot, preparing to leave the room.

"I don’t know if that last one went smoothly, but at least we got the chance to greet the ones you needed to find today. You should stay vigilant, Logan. We will be preparing to leave for your territory in a few days, but there’s no telling when the demons might seek revenge on you," Chloe said, reminding the boy of the dangers he could possibly face.

"If need be, I can go around with you, Logan. I am now your knight, so it won’t be strange," Kai pitched in, holding his ceremonial sword to demonstrate his potential.

"About that, since we are leaving soon, how about you help me buy some stuff after this? I need to go to a particular place to find something special…"

Thinking about his busy day, the boy just wanted to be left alone, but he had some urgent matters to attend to.

The first of these would require the help of Rubina and her father.
