Well, we entered the trading capital Altena first thing in the morning after we got out of the old battlefield.

　But since we were on an all-night march and Midea and Pina were groggy, we immediately got a room for two (me and Mogu) and a room for four (Mado Hana, Midea, Manya and Pina).

　There were complaints about this room allotment [it's a waste of money]. I don't need a bed for the spirits, so I'm sure I'll spare the money for lodging too.

　But!　This is a countermeasure against a s*xually harassing boss disguised as an expense claim!

　


The evidence of Ryota's recording

'After the dragon girl and the bird girl, the grass elves are next, or, for what it's worth, there are a lot of lollies. Is this the harem Ryota is making?　Hmm?　Coincidence?　Don't be silly, you'll have tea in your navel.　No need to hide it, but I want you to cure your sluggishness and tell me the tale of your bravery. I'm counting on you.　

　They bully me at every turn with this kind of content!
　Even if you're a local, you're a goddess employer because you hired them, right?
　Not even a black boss would tell me to encourage s*xual harassment!

　For the most part, Hasty-san just talked a bit. Well, maybe Midia and Manya are a little more aware of it...

　But but!　What I can't forgive is that he's humiliating the window flowers that he's survived with, the snowflakes that he's devoted to using, and even young Pina and Viville!　We can't afford to loose them!

　So let's say 2 males plus 3 females plus 1 child. (Yukikaze is usually a taiji, so I'll account for the equipment) This would only have one more female, and if Exploration Woman-sama counts Window Flowers as a female, then I'll count Mog as a male too!

　All you have to do is ask Takatengahara to explain the expenses once, and then you'll be in pain because you'll be stuck with an excuse. I'm a subordinate who's been teaching my bosses who can't understand compliance to a tee.

　That's why I will also take measures against s*xual harassment of my boss.

　This is how I got my lodging, but I'm in a state where I'm having trouble getting into bed and sleeping. In fact, since I passed out, the strange words have lingered in my head and are bothering me. But it's late at night now. Mog is a spirit, but for some reason he is sleeping soundly.

　That's why I decided to consult with the window flower that never sleeps.


★ In front of the door of the room for 4 people

　There is a small knock on the women's room where everyone is asleep except for Madoha.


Yes, that's fine. Open, close and lock it, please.

　It's called a lock, but the door of the inn is locked with a small bolt in a U-shaped metal part... So it's easy to open the door, but it looks obviously criminal... Well, I'm a member of the group, so I can clear up the misunderstanding by explaining.

　Now, as for the procedure for opening the criminal-smelling door, first prepare a strong and thin plate made of earth material. Next, insert it into the gap in the door and lift one of the bolts with the board to remove the lock. In the meantime, open the door a little, and when the window opens, close the door and replace the bolt.

　 I feel as if I go out by bicycle, lose the key, and open my bicycle with the umbrella key.


I digressed from the story.

　For the time being, I invited the window flower to the men's room. I placed a stack of magazines on the table instead of a chair, and began by checking the current situation.

I see.........you have plenty of ammunition to spare. The only thing left to do is to add the large amount of alcohol you've consumed?

''Yes, that's about it for the time being. And.........Ryota-sama hasn't gotten to the point yet, right?　Is it difficult to talk about?

　Sure, they point out that it's not the main point, but I'm having a hard time cutting it out because of the subtlety of the content, too. But the window flower is a family member who went through the hard company days and employment difficulties with me. (I was PC then) Let's not shy away from it and be honest about it...

'I don't have a story in my head either, and it's not something I'd ask anyone, but before we got to this inn, after I was woken up from my fainting spell, there's a word that's been lingering in my head, I don't know who it is, and I'm struggling with it.

　They'll think I'm obsessed with ghosts or crazy or something...

'Don't hold back with me. It's okay to be vague, we can sort it out if you tell me, okay?

　Pictorially, it looks like he's consulting with a doll.
　It's already weird, and it's too late now to get lost after I called you.

''Well then, please. It's the words, but [I can't expect or trust people at the root, even I am like a stranger. But the fetters that made it impossible to trust have been removed. It says [I can trust people now, work hard and trust my people].

　The window flower is unquestionably listening to me with certainty.
　I'm so grateful that I can't help but cry....

'I trust my people, but it's certainly not trust. And yet they trust me. That's why I want to be able to trust people too. It's not easy to change. According to the owner of the language, though, he already trusts the window flowers.

　Indeed, I seem to trust Window Flowers. It's shameful and embarrassing to talk about this, and I can't tell this story to anyone other than Window Hana.

　But then Window Flowers started to cry.

　Did I say something so strange that she finally misunderstood that I had lost my mind?　



　It's not a misunderstanding, but it's enough to make you cry!
　...well, I guess that's just how concerned he is about me.

　They know I don't trust humans, and we've known each other for almost 20 years now. The first part is just a screw, but he has taken over the memories and is now a spirit and a mourning spirit, so he is self-aware. They're like a brother and sister who have worked hard together through difficult times for me.

I'm proud to be trusted as a window flower and not as a servant. It's natural that it's difficult to trust people. It is difficult to trust people, of course, but trust is only possible when there is a basis for trust. It is natural that it is difficult.

　I'm so embarrassed! I'm starting to feel so embarrassed!　Window flower I'm happy for you, but you're too over-active to deal with it.

''But if things continue as they are now, I feel bad for my friends who believe in me and follow me. That's why I want to trust them too. What can I do to make it better?

　I know what Windowflower says, but I don't think it's a good idea to keep things the way they are. But I don't know how to trust you with my heart.
