Regena.

'This is Lady Regina. What have you done today? And the people in the back?

　When I enter the house, the fat Mr. Tormulkis bows his head.
　When I look at his face, I almost sigh.
　This man has created a problem for me.

''This one is Decius-sama, the Knight of the Law. And behind them are the witch-hunters, Mr. Trumarkis.''

　As I introduce him, Mr. Tormulkis' body jerks with his head down.

''Ah, ....... Um, why would a law knight and a witch hunter come here?

　Mr. Tormarkis says as he looks up.
　A great deal of sweat is pouring down from his face.

'Why?'　Isn't that something you know yourself?

　One of the witch hunters comes forward.
　The witch hunters are all dressed differently. Some of them are no different from ordinary citizens.
　The reason for this is so that they won't be noticed by the witches who lurk in the shadows of human society.
　Well, that's just as well. If you dress up in a way that makes it obvious that I'm a witch hunter, the witches will be able to get away with it.

"What are you talking about?　I don't know anything about it!
　Mr. Tormulkis stepped back, visibly dismayed.

'Witch-hunters. I am the owner of this house and I will allow you to do so. You may search the house if you wish.

　As I said this, the witch-hunters staggered into the house.
　The knights of the law can't compel a search without clear evidence. The witch-hunters don't have the right to investigate in the first place.
　However, even if they are both, they can investigate if the owner of the house admits it.
　With this, the sorcerer's laboratory in the basement of the house will be found.

'Wait!

　Sir Decius shouts.
　In front of me, Mr. Trumarkis is being beaten.

'What is it?'　According to Kirius or some other sorcerer, this man is sure to be guilty. He hid an evil sorcerer. Isn't he deserving of this kind of treatment?
'Surely he may have committed a crime!　But the Republic of Ariadia doesn't allow for punishment without a trial!　If you, too, are a servant of Lord God-King Odis, then you will obey the laws that have been established!
'Hmm, that's supposed to be against sound citizens. I don't see the need to apply the law to such a person, though.

　Sir Decius and the witch hunter argued in front of him.
　It was a mistake for the witch hunter to come.
　In fact, they were planning to bring only Sir Decius with them.
　However, I don't know where they got the word from, but they came on their own.
　Perhaps there is someone in the Temple of Odis who is in touch with the Witch Hunters.
　So what Shenna said must be true.
　I will have to be careful in the future.
　I am a witch in the eyes of the witch hunter because I too am a witch.
　But I don't care what the world thinks of me, even if they call me a witch.
　Even if they call me a witch, I could be an apostle of my beloved husband.
　I am the dark knight, I remember the master.

　I want to meet the master.

　Just remembering the master makes my body heat up.
　Can I go to see him sometime? I think about that.
　But now I would have to get things out of the way in front of me.
　In front of me, Tormarkis-san was screaming like a pig.




◆Sizfe.

'Thank you!　Lady Sizfe the War Maiden!

　In a room in the temple of Lady Ishtia, the goddess of love and beauty, Salmura-san bows to me.

'No, I'm glad you're safe, Phineas.

　I responded to Ms. Salmura with a wave of my hand.
　After that, Shenna-san told me the background of the case.
　It seems that the potion that Decius-sama was investigating was made from the bodily fluids of a harpy.
　The person making the potion was the mage in question.
　And in order to obtain the bodily fluids, it seems that Walrath had made a deal with the Harpy.
　What a bunch of guys.

''Um, the reward, are you sure it was right?''

　Mr. Salmura said apologetically.

'Oh, the reward is separate. I can't take it from Mr. Salmura. It would be too much.'

　In fact, Regena-san gave me a lot of money as a nuisance fee.
　It seems that it was Regena's subordinate who had the mage make the potion, and that's why the nuisance fee is for that.
　That's why I can't receive any compensation from Mr. Salmura. It would be too much.

''Well then, I'll leave you with this, my friends are waiting for you.

　I leave my seat.
　Behind me, Mr. Salmula is thanking me repeatedly.
　I leave the temple of Lord Ishtia and enter a nearby restaurant. My friends should be waiting for me here.
　Incidentally, this is also the restaurant where my friend Justy works.

'You're late, Sisyphe. It's been a long time coming.

　Novice, who had come before me, couldn't wait to tell me.

I'm sorry," he said. And then Mr. Salmura thanked you for introducing me to the warriors. He thanked you for introducing me to the warband.
Is this about Phineas?　That means it's okay. It's the duty of a senior warrior to train a young warrior.

　Novis grins.
　Phinneas is going to join the warrior group introduced by Novice.
　It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.
　I have to admit, I don't think the delicate Phineas-kun is going to make it. I'm sorry, but I think he's going to die soon.
　But this is Phineas's hope.
　He wants to be like Novice, after all.
　I can't imagine him becoming a muscle-bound warrior.

''Everyone~. I've brought you some drinks and food.

　The waiters, Justy and the others, bring drinks and food.

'Yo!　I've been waiting for you!

　My sister Kayna is pleased to see the food.

'Come on, Sis. Everyone is waiting for you.'

　At Maddy's words, I stand up.
　My friends stand as well, continuing.
　And I look at my friends.
　Sister Kayna.
　Maddie.
　Mrs. Leylia.
　Miss Nora.
　And Novis.
　Every time I finish a job, I think, "Wow.
　My friends in this room have made it this far.
　So when I celebrate, I'm always grateful.

'Come on, guys!　Raise the cup high!　Congratulations on a successful request!

　I say, and my friends hold the cup high.

"Cheers!

　I say it and my friends respond to it.

「「「「「 cheers！！！！！」」」」」
