In Another World, the Boy Was Spoiled by the Iron Knight!

"Yeah," Shiao Yi nodded. "I was wondering if there’s anyone here who handles ores or minerals. There’s something I’m trying to find."

"In that case, you should go to the outer wing that stretches off from the very end of this hallway," the man said. "There’s a guy named Aaron there. That area’s isolated because it’s used for dangerous materials."

"Got it. Thanks. I’ll go check it out."

Shiao Yi opened the door, feeling that his goal was probably in that direction.

"Aaron himself is kind of a dangerous too—so be careful with him!" the man called out from behind while still holding the slime in his arms.

"...What?" Shiao Yi turned in confusion.

But the man had already shut the door behind him.

At first, Shiao Yi thought all the mages in the east wing were strange like that one he had met. But as he walked further down the hallway, everything seemed normal. It was just very quiet, and he didn’t see a single person. Maybe that first room had been chosen as a kind of barrier, just like the man had said—a way to keep people away.

Shiao Yi started to believe that most of the people in the east wing were probably like the calm and sensible Segoy. That strange guy must have been the rare exception, not the rule.

He walked through the dim, gloomy hallway lit only by candles, and when he opened the door at the very end, he stepped outside into a narrow path winding through thick grass. Under the light of the rising moon, a small building stood ahead, glowing faintly in the darkness.
