The three of them looked at me as I was talking to Love Fire and it hurt.

''Tact... it looked like fun.''

'Well... they reacted differently than they did with us.

I don't think I've ever seen Mr. Tact like that before.

It couldn't be helped. I hadn't had a kendo match in a long time. It was fun, of course. The guys from the other night? That's not a good story. As I'm thinking this, I hear a third party voice say, "You're having a lot of fun, aren't you?

"You look like you're having a lot of fun.

The one who showed up was the Duke's daughter. I think her name is Liese. The butler from that time is with her too.

''I'm not impressed with your snooping.

'I'm sorry. This is my request.

You mean the butler asked for it? Why?

May I ask why?

'Yes. I used to be a member of this country's knightly order. So when I saw you, I knew you weren't just any guy, and I wanted to see how good you were.

I also felt that this butler was not just any person, and he's someone that my Lord was involved with, for one thing. It's only natural that I should look into it.

I see. So that's the only way to go. So you were satisfied with that?

Yes, sir. I can see that you're not serious yet.

「「「「 Yeah! 」」」」

The four of us are surprised by the butler's words. Well, I can't go out and kill these four people seriously.

''How... wasn't that serious?

'Definitely. It looked like you were fighting while controlling the force, no?

''Correct. But my game with Love Fire was serious.

I'm sure you're right. I can't deny you that you are enjoying yourself so much.

I'm strangely tickled when this butler says it.

'So what are your requirements today?'

'Oh!　Yes. Actually, I need more of that drink. Can you make it now?

You mean the honey juice I served you before. This was troubling.

'Uh...we're out of honey, so we can't make it right away.

What. My brat will get that for you right away.

'It won't be. Miss.

The butler stops Lise. 'Yes.

'Why?　Don't stop.

"Royalty's favoritism to one adventurer is a sure way to incur the wrath of other adventurers.

Well, that's definitely not a good idea.

So I make a suggestion.

"Can I get some honey around here?

You can get it from the honeybees and killer bees in Trent's Woods.

Duh! Killer bees...I mean killer bees...not wasps...if they are, it's traumatic. But I suppose I'll have to...

Then it wouldn't be a problem if you made a formal request?

Well, that won't be a problem. How would you like to proceed?　Miss.

'Mmm!　Then I'll send a request to you as soon as possible.

Requested Quest "Acquiring Honey": Difficulty Level E
Reward: 2000g
Get 10 honey bees and other honeys from Trent's forest.

I've heard that any honey is good for such things, but I'd like to dismantle the Honey Bee to get it here. Besides, it might be the perfect way to raise the level of love fire and see how good your magic is.

''I respectfully accept.''

'Mmm!　Take good care of him!

I'll leave Riese-sama here. I suppose we could go on, but let's finish summoning the magic stones for today first. If our target is a bee, our best bet is a spider, right? The next thing I'm interested in is Sheep.

Now, let's summon a list at the Beast Demon Guild! The magic stone was sucked into the magic circle, and what appeared was a spider the same size as Love Fire. It's powerful, as expected. Lily is pulling back. You don't have a good memory for spiders, do you? Now, what should we name it...here's what we did.

Name: Aranea Spider, Lv 1.

Life force 10
Magical power 8
Strength 5
Defensive Force 5
Agility 5
Dexterity value 20

skill

Biting Lv 1 Viscosity Lv 1 Trap setting Lv 1

I made the Latin word for spider, Aranea, easier to say, Aranea. I'm calling it the quintessential spider. Another name won't come. There are only three skills, but two of them are new to me. The mucus thread would be the spider's thread. And setting traps is a skill for setting spider webs, I guess. Wouldn't that be useful? I have a great feeling that he'll be active in the honeybee hunt.

And the next summons is for a sheep, two in a row. It's coming!

Magicians unresponsive. It's a waste of time... but it's nice. You did manage to summon Aranea.

That's a lie. No, it wouldn't be nice. I wanted to summon it. But I have a feeling that Sheep and Goths are a horse-class difficulty to summon. We found them after they came over here, and their escape route was unusual. Well, let's go for it, shall we?
