[huh]

I wouldn't. Patents exist, but they largely apply to military magitechnology and are not otherwise centralized.

I'm already picturing you in an ice cream parlor shop outfit, though!

[creates a little mini illusion of Charon in a white and pink ice cream parlor outfit]

[oh my god]

Lethe.

[sparkles]

It's cute.

I mean. Dashing.

It clashes with my hair.

[that’s his complaint???]

We can change the color.

[problem solved]

[SUSPICIOUS]

Of the costume or my hair?

Whichever one you want to change. I was thinking the color of the clothes, but if you wanted to dye your hair I don't think that would look bad either.

[changes both the color of the outfit on the illusion (to white and grey) and his hair (to black)]

[looks it over]

. . . interesting . . .

[changes the hair color from black to blonde to red again]

The red hair does suit you best. It would be a shame to change it unless you were really looking for a change.

I'm not. It runs in my family.

[dessert is finally being brought out! it looks like...an assortment of tiny taiyaki...?]

If it's a family trait you should keep i--oh!

[gets distracted by the food, mouth watering]

[they are filled with frozen custard in a variety of sweet flavors, and there’s a fondue pot of dark chocolate for dipping ‘-‘]

The finale.

[IMMEDIATELY EATS ONE, savoring the flavor as soon as it's in his mouth]

Have I told you that I love you yet today?

[lowers his gaze a little, not quite abashed but definitely pleased]

I love you too.

[he is embarrassingly giddy as he eats his tiny little taiyaki and nudges one towards Charon to try]

[picks it up and dips it daintily ‘-‘]

Ah—better now they’re chilled.

[only eats a second one after Charon's eaten his first, taking his time to dip it into the chocolate now that he's had a first bite]

I feel like I should hire you to be my private chef after this.

Now why would you need to hire me?

Tax write-off.

[he is probably joking]

I knew you only wanted me for the financial benefits.

[laughs]

Money allows us to live, and I have a lot of kids to raise. You'll have to put up with it unless you plan on getting a full time job somewhere else in Korea.

Are there other occupations for S-Classes other than dungeon suppression and combat?

Not at this point in time. There aren't many S-Classes in the world, and pretty much all of them are more or less required to help clear dungeons if they can. The exception is the Saint, but she's a special case.

Of course, if we can get dungeons under control, then there will be more room for S-Classes to do other things if they'd like. I'd like Officer Song to quit being a government employee and become a teacher instead. Just as an example.

… … … I can simply go undeclared and work in administration.
