So, Okura-dono, are you really going to leave so soon this time?

Hmm?　Yeah, we'll be leaving soon. But just let me report to the Society of Adventurers. I need to get my horse back.

　The request for an escort is over, but before that, I should go to the Adventurers' Association in Queres to register and receive the reward for the request.
　In addition, I'll need to leave the two horses I have with me for now.
　When I show up at the Adventurer's Association in King's Landing, I'll have to return these horses as well, so I'll have to bring them back to King's Landing at a later date....maybe I can carry them with a beacon.

''Ah, so we can finally meet Luna-san.

You're still coming back so quickly.

Yes, I'm a very sturdy guy.

　Sisha, who had stopped breathing and was down because of me, is in high spirits and gutted.
　I'm not sure if it's because the request for escort is over and I can finally go home or if it's because I'm high-tension.

''Priests are amazing, aren't they........''

'I suppose Sisha is another one, but...'

　I feel like it's beyond the scope of being tough or something........
　Noll's statement sounded as if he was saying that all priests are like that.
　The image of a priest is going crazy in our minds.

'Hey, brother. I feel like I'm being looked at terribly...

'Hmm, I knew it, didn't I?　Me?　Is it my fault again?

I suppose it's partly because of Okura-dono, but...

'A lot of it seems to be directed at Miss Esther.

　As we were heading there after asking people where the Adventurer's Association was, Esther approached us.
　It seems like ever since we entered the town, there have been a lot of other mage like dressed people looking at us.
　I thought it was my fault, as usual, but a lot of those eyes seem to be on Esther.
　And it's like they're looking at me and hurriedly removing their gaze from me....

　Hmm, is there something about Estelle that draws attention?
　After all, it's a place like the headquarters of a mage, so maybe you're interested in other mages or something like that?

　With our heads in the sand and stares like that, we made our way to the Adventurer's Association.

●

　We arrived at the Adventurer's Association and left our horses at the hut next to it before going inside.
　Since it's called a magic city, there must be a lot of adventurers who are mages.
　I was expecting that, but even if you look at the adventurers who were inside, there is no one who looks like a mage.
　Rather, the adventurers just looked surprised when they saw Esther.

　Huh?　You don't think it's a magic city and there are no mages who are adventurers at all?
　.........Come to think of it, you can also make magic tools other than military, and it seems like there are a lot of jobs that make more money than being an adventurer.

Excuse me...

Okay, okay, I'll be with you in a minute.

　I went to the reception desk and there was no one there, so I shouted for someone to come over.
　Then I heard a voice from the back of the room and a young woman with short brown hair came out of the room with a small run.

Yes, wait ... who are you?

Well, I just got here today for the first time from Sting and...

Oh, Mr. Adventurer. Thank you for your long journey.

　When the woman who came out looked at me, her expression hardened.
　And when I showed her the plate and showed her that I was an adventurer, she put her hand on her chest as if she was relieved and let out a breath.
　.....................Did she think I was suspicious?

Since you've never been here before, could you hand me the plate first?

Yes, please.

'Oh, a B grade?　That kid behind you is a mage!　

　I handed him the first plate, as usual, and he let his voice trail off when he saw the silver plate.
　Then he looked at Esther and was surprised to see her.
　Umm, even the adventurer's association in the magic city is surprised to see a mage?
　How few mages do adventurers........

　After the receptionist handed us the paperwork, she took the plate and went to the back.
　She came back just as we finished filling out the paperwork, had the plate returned and handed us the paperwork too.

'Yes, it's all right.'

'Excuse me. I came to Queles this time with a request for an escort, so I'll need you to do the same.

Okay. Yes, sir.

　In addition, I handed over the certificate for this escort request and received the reward of 600,000 Gs.

''No, I've never seen such a young mage being an adventurer before.

'Haha it just so happens that we have a connection...'

　The receptionist looks at Esther and looks interested.
　Annelie-chan also said that it's not only rare, but she's never seen one before.......

''Um, there aren't many mages who are adventurers?''

'Oh, well there aren't too many of them. There are quite a few in Queres itself, though.

　Hmmm, could it be that the mages in town were watching because the mage girl was with the adventurers, as you can see?
　And look at me, this guy is badass!　He said that he was trying to avoid eye contact with them.

●

　I also found out why I was being watched and when I had finished my business, I left the Adventurer's Association.

"Since we've come all this way, I wanted to take a little stroll, but let's not.

'Hmmm ... yeah. Me and Esther get a little too much attention for a stroll.

　Apparently, Esther is quite noticeable when she's dressed as usual.
　I'm sure she's tired from requesting an escort until today, and we can come in plain clothes for a walk in Queres later.
　Besides, if we don't get home soon, Sisha is going to start making a scene.

'Okura-dono is finally becoming aware of this, isn't he? At the very least, you will take that hat off.

I suppose it wouldn't be so obvious if the holy grail cloth covered the body properly.

　I'd like to say that I don't want Noor to be the only one to say that, but I guess the hat was too much of a quirk.
　I put away the Petasos that I was wearing maturely and wrapped the holy skeleton cloth around it so that my body would not be visible.
　
　I can't even see the crowbar, and objectively speaking, it looks amazingly strong.

''Do you want to just buy Luna a souvenir before you leave?　I can't really look around, though.

I agree!

Yes, that's right. I'll buy you something to eat.

Isn't that because Noll is hungry?

That's not true, sir.

　I can't take the time to choose, but I'll buy Luna something for her.
　I made her stay away all the time by herself............................she may be asleep and not think anything of it.

　I had to do the beacon ride home in the middle of nowhere, so I moved on, looking for something to do.
　Then, on the way there, I heard someone making some kind of noise in the distance.
　I was curious and looked in that direction and saw what looked like a white posing doll running towards me.
　A bespectacled woman in a white coat was clinging to the back, with a blue face that looked like she was about to die.

　What is that........is it a demon?
　I mean, it's coming this way!

'Kyah!　Move!　Move it!

　A white doll approaching us at great speed with a crying woman.
　I thought about dodging it, but there were people behind me and if I dodged it at this rate, there might be people hurt.
　Noll immediately tried to pull out his sword, but I stopped him and took a step forward.
　If I break it, it might be a pain in the ass later.......here--.

''Ahhh--agh!

　The doll looms in front of me.
　The woman clinging to her back has a look on her face as if to say, "I can't do this anymore...it's over...it's over...it's over...

　I thrust one hand out in front of me at a distance of a few more seconds to collide with it.
　Then I grab the doll's head in a well-timed grab.
　A little shock is felt on my arm, but it doesn't hurt or itch at all.

　I grabbed it and stopped it, but the doll still didn't stop.
　It doesn't go forward, but it's waving its hands as if it were running and its feet are kicking the ground.
　The moment I grabbed her, the woman on her back had fallen from the impact, so I lifted her up with my grip on the doll's head to prevent her from moving any further.

　
　Is this thanks to my improved level and equipment?
　Because of my experience with smiter assaults and the like, I did it thinking that I would be fine with this level.
　If it was before, I wouldn't have thought of catching a doll.

"Okura-dono, are you alright?

Yeah, more importantly, is that person okay?

　He left the doll waddling in mid-air and checked on the safety of the woman who had fallen to the ground.
　She may have fallen off her back, but she looked distressed and did not get up.

'Sister, are you okay?'

There it is... but it's okay--what, or is it lifting with one hand!

　Estelle crouches down and taps her fingertips, and the woman finally gets her upper body up.
　She's a bespectacled woman with long brown hair pulled back like a knoll.
　She rubs her hips painfully and fixes the position of her glasses with a quick fingertip.
　Finally, she looks forward and lets out a surprised sound when she sees me lifting the doll.

'Oh, you're hurt. Let me just touch your body for a moment.



　The woman's hands had been scraped off and were bleeding.
　If you look closely, you can see that her clothes are torn all over the place, and she's pretty torn up.
　Maybe her body bumped against the doll when she was holding on to it... or bruised or something.

　Sisuha notices this and applies a recovery spell while touching her shoulder.
　In the blink of an eye, the wound heals on her.
　Oh, Sisha's doing a proper priestly job!

What do you want me to do about it?

Oh, you look like a doll. Your magic is all over the place. Uh ... yeah.

　I asked her what to do with the doll in her hand once her wounds had healed and the commotion had died down for a while.
　But before she could answer that, Esther looked at the doll and pretended to think as she put her hand on her cheek.
　Then, with a quick knock and a light touch of her wand, the doll, which had been moving, dropped her hand and became quiet.

''You've stopped now,''

What? I-I-I mean, the runaway stopped...

　The woman is stunned by this.
　Oh, isn't this a tasteless pattern?

Okay, so I'll just leave it here. Let's go.

　He placed the stopped doll in front of the woman and signaled with his hand that he was going to Nol and the others and quickly fled the scene.

'Oh no...'

What's the matter with you all of a sudden?

Yeah, I can smell the trouble and I'll get the hell out of there.

'Yes. We can't afford to delay our reunion with Luna-san any longer!

　The doll was stopped and the woman's injuries were healed, so it should be okay to leave her there.
　If I stayed there, it would have been an absolute pain in the ass.
　Estelle said something about magic power being disturbed, and I think that was magic-related.
　If it was easy to stop that, Estelle would have been asked a lot of questions.
　I'm glad I was able to escape while I was stunned.......

''It's only called a magic city, isn't it? I can't believe there's something like that.''

That. Well, it looks like it was out of control but if it wasn't for us, you could have been seriously hurt.

　I can't believe there's something like that.......it's just a magic city.
　Is it like a golem that moves with magic?
　If it's going to be a runaway, at least get it out of there........
　There's a lot more going on and it's interesting, but let's get home early for today.


●

Miss Luna!　My beloved Sisha is back!

　When he returns home from Queres, Sisha screams and runs to the back of the room.
　My beloved Sisha.......how excited are you?

''d*mn........you're too excited.

It's been a long time. That's how happy I am.

Oh, I'm going to get my Moffat, too!

　Noor was happy to see Moffitt, too, and went back to her room, looking buoyant.
　However, she soon returned with a slumped shoulder.

''Oh, Okura-dono.......Moffoot is not here........''

What, really?

'Sisha hasn't been back for a while now, has she?　I wonder if Luna is gone too.

　Apparently, there was no Moffitt in the room.
　Sis-ha also ran away as soon as she could, but she still hasn't come back.
　What's the meaning of this.......let's go check out Sisha's side for now.

　When I entered the expanded corridor where Luna's room is located, I saw Sisha who opened the door to her room and stopped with her hands together in front of her mouth.

'Hey, what are you doing?'

'Shh!　You're going to wake up Luna-san!

　I called out to him and he held up his index finger and told me to be quiet.
　I look into the room to see what's going on, and unlike the last time I saw it, the lights are on.
　Then I look at the bed and see that Moffitt and Luna are lying there together.
　There was a towel next to Luna's head, and Moffitt was lying on it with his legs stretched out on the side.

'Oh my, they were sleeping together.

Well I'm jealous.

　Noor's body is itching to see this.
　What, Noor didn't sleep with Moffitt or anything?

'Mmm, who's...'

Oh, I didn't want to wake you up...

　As we watched Luna as we slept, she noticed our presence and got up, munching away.
　While rubbing, she looked at us sleepily.

''........Sisha?''

Yes, this is Sissiya.

Well....

　When I got up and came over here, I stopped at Sisha, who was at the front of the room, and looked up at her and blurted out.
　Then, after asking Sisha, he suddenly buried his face in the area of the governor's stomach and hugged her.

'Le, Luna-san!　Luna-san hugged me, held me, hugged me..........

"Oh, hey.

　Sisha was happy to be embraced, and she is very excited.
　But gradually her back or a calyx bends into a calyx shape, and her face is pulled back with a smile as she lets out a voice of pain.
　Hey, hey........what kind of force is that hugging me with.......

Luna, you're awake!

Hmm......　Noll?

　If this was not the case, it was bad, and Noor hurriedly grabbed Luna's shoulder and shook her.
　Then she finally became clearer and raised her face that was buried in Sisha's body.

''Nah, why am I holding onto you!

'Le, didn't you get a hug from Luna...'

　When she regains consciousness, she realizes that Luna is hugging Sisha and hurriedly jumps away from the scene.
　Released, Sisha collapses to the floor as it is.
　Oh no........this is too tragic.......

''Are you alright?''

'Ummm ... Luna-san hugged me, I'm hoping.

You look so peaceful....

　When I got worried and approached her, Sisha's mouth was twisted into a very happy smile.
　Sisha you're amazing. Is this what true love is all about?
　Oh, when I think about it, I might be somewhat like a priest.......
