I returned to the Adventurer Guild’s rooftop at night, and it seemed I and Helen were the last ones.
“Derus, you look tired, are you alright?”
“Yes, my stamina has recovered, but well, it’s been a lot.”
When I thought about it, this was the first time Helen and I had been alone.
It was really against the rules to even bring out a succubus towards the end, yeah, that was rough.
“Derus-kun, Derus-kun!”
“What is it, Anju-chan?”
“It’s okay, Nina-san, the number of times hasn’t increased!”
Huh? What are you talking about… Oh, that’s a relief!!
I mean, it’s not like I doubted you, but!
Actually, I have in the past, but she said she met me when she was nine, so that’s impossible, yeah.
“What’s with that expression, Derus?”
“No, no, it’s nothing, Ah! How was it, Tamii-san?”
It seems she did a lot of shopping,
The bags she was holding in both hands looked heavy.
“Yes, I bought a lot for Mother too.
This one is a new design, I didn’t know they had something like this!”
Ah, yes, yes, that ridiculously ugly bear shirt.
It’s a different design from that one, and if I have to say if it’s a little better… no, it’s not.
“Kyun-san, did you come to buy blood?”
“No, I’m just buying cosmetics and accessories like normal.”
“Speaking of which, were you okay leaving your mansion master’s work behind?”
“Today is the monthly maintenance day, so we’re closed!”
There’s such a thing, huh.
Then you should have brought that butler with you.
“Amari-chan, you’ve completely become a girl.”
“Heh heh, excited?”
“No, I think you’re cute! Don’t swing your skirt like that!”
Nina-san steps forward.
“How dare you provoke my Derus.”
“Indeed, even as a slave, I will not stay silent.”
Whoa, when the huge Nina-san and huge Helen-san glare,
It really is intimidating, Amari-chan is on the verge of tears.
“Please forgive her for that, unlike some tanned pervert, she’s still a child.”
Yeah, if it were that guy from Nina Castle who’s always getting spanked, she would definitely be tightening his collar.
“Well then everyone, let’s go back together.”
“Huh? Clarice-san is coming too?”
“Everyone is everyone. Derus-sama is also welcome.”
“Derus, do you want to stay here?”
“Ah, I see, I can just return to the mansion and sleep.”
Like this, first only the people went to their rooms in the mansion via the Teleportation Magic Circle inside the carriage.
Of the three people I brought, Anju-chan sent Kyun and Tamii-san through the magic circle in another room.
When she returns, she said she’ll collect the Kelpies I left at Asrik, it’s a shame to leave them there.
(Looking out the window, this house itself is deified…)
Well, even if it’s decorated strangely,
If it makes this mansion peaceful, then it’s fine,
Strange guests will be handled by Jumaji-san.
(I should at least go say hello.)
Grandpa’s room is over here, I think.
“Jumaji-san, we’re back!”
“Oh, welcome back.” “Ho ho ho, you’re late.”
“Who are you having tea with? Ah, you’re!”
There was the old man who came to the Teleportation Magic Circle in the Kayaya Village Dungeon,
The Illusionist, what was his name… Sufma, I think. Yeah, what are they doing relaxing together.
“…Ah, you’re back.”
Even the Gloomy Person came from behind!
He’s an Adventurer Guild staff member, the Mu Mu Empire’s side’s name is, let me see…
“Who was it again?”
“…It’s Xel, you’re so mean.”
He placed the citrus fruits he brought on the table and sat down.
“How and when did you two get here?”
“Ho hoh, today. We came via the Teleportation Magic Circle and arrived here.”
“…And when we tried to go further, this Jumaji-shi stopped us.”
Oh, as expected of the old man, a former adventurer,
He properly put a stop to it, huh?
Maybe that works properly between Imperial citizens.
“…Still, it’s terrible, everyone.
The Nina Star Tights are moving their base to Masuma Town, so I tried to arrange for the guild staff there to transfer, but they’re already gone.”
Ah, that’s why Pinche-san said something like that.
And the Gloomy Person was going to transfer to Masuma Town.
“Our current base is Asrik.”
“…But you live here, right?”
“We made a mobile Teleportation Magic Circle, so our inn is here. It’s more like our home than an inn.”
“…Understood. I’ll submit a transfer request to the Asrik Adventurer Guild then.”
“That’s fine, but the Guild Master there, well, the Empire’s Guild Master, is troublesome.”
I explained the situation after arriving in Asrik.
Midway, Nina-san, who had just finished her bath, and Clarice-san, Helen-san, and Amari-chan, who had finished preparing dinner, joined us.
After collecting the Kelpies and putting them in the back hut, Anju-chan, who had given them water and aquatic plants, also joined us.
“…Indeed, that’s a city where there are two Adventurer Guilds.”
“Ho ho ho, you’re young. I’d like to see that duel, but it’s an area only Heroes can enter, isn’t it?”
“From my memory, there’s a high place, and though it’s quite far, you should be able to see it.”
Oh, valuable information from Jumaji-san!
Nina-san reacts to that.
“Has Jumaji-dono been to Asrik before?”
“Of course. All the major cities. Conversely, I don’t know about the outside.”
This old man might surprisingly have influence in the Mu Mu Empire?
“…Please take us to Asrik tomorrow.”
“I don’t mind, but what for? Are you interfering with us?”
“No, there’s the Dragon Arena there, isn’t there? We can return directly to Imperial Capital Mamamoo from there.”
Ah, they want an easier return.
“Ho ho ho, Anju-chan, I won’t do anything anymore. Don’t be so wary of me all the time.”
“That’s a lie!”
“Anju-chan, for now, let’s trust him.”
Certainly, the last time we met,
He attacked Anju-chan with the Scythe of Death as he left,
Come to think of it, he wasn’t that serious.
(Above all, he’s relaxing like this.)
Nina-san looks at the old Illusionist and the Gloomy Person.
“Alright, I permit it. We can go to Asrik even now, not just tomorrow.”
“Ho ho ho. Will there be any meals provided?”
“…If you’re not very welcome, then understood. We’ll leave immediately.”
I see, because the old Illusionist can transfer normally with a magic circle,
Anju-chan doesn’t have to send them every time.
The two of them stand up at those words.
“Well then, ho ho ho.” “See you in Asrik then.”
The Gloomy Person took his luggage and went with them.
Clarice-san guided them to the location of the Teleportation Magic Circle.
After seeing them off, Nina-san said a word to Helen.
“I might return in the middle of the night, so please keep watch with the magic circle, just in case, as a succubus.”
“Understood.”
And so, we had dinner and went to sleep that day,
with Nina-san.
