While we waited for the discussion in the temple to end, we went home once I was torn.

'Hmmm, what's going on?'

Hm?　Is there something wrong, sir?

Yeah, it's a little bit about Luna and the others.

　I've been wondering what to do after hearing the story at the temple.
　As I was thinking about this, at my feet, there was a rumble from earlier and Freesia was rolling on the floor and shouting.

''Boo, it's just Heihachi and the others going out again!　It's not fair!　I'm looking for an adventure too!

　He's not happy that we're gone again the day after we get back.
　I thought he wouldn't make that much noise since we were letting him go out for a walk, but he doesn't want to be left behind either. He's really a troubled elf.
　In contrast to such a clunky elf, Luna sobs in a dull voice while sitting on Sisha's lap.

''I'm going to stay home with this clunker again! It's tiring!''

'Huh, I hate being away from Luna too!

　The two of them look like they're about to melt away, maybe even Luna is already in housekeeping mode, but they're both looking like they're about to melt.
　It's a good thing that even Sissier is part of that side of the equation!

　I was dumbfounded by such a situation of the girls along with Noor, but Esther spoke to me in a serious tone of voice.

''Brother, what's troubling you, could it be that you're wondering how you're going to get Freesia and the others to the isle?''

That's Esther. That's exactly what I'm talking about.

　It's really great of you, Esther, to target what I was worried about.
　What I was thinking about was exactly that, how to call Freesia and the others to Kojima.
　At first I thought I could just call them with a beacon as usual, but it's possible that the small island is farther away than I imagined.
　Still, I didn't think there would be a problem, since there were several ways floating around, including placing it close to land, hanging the beacon on an air rope and setting it up in the air, or asking Esther to make land for it.
　But from the feeling I got from the temple, I doubt that the beacon would work on the small island.

'It's definitely a place where special powers are at work, like the island moving or the fog is rolling in. Beacons can't always be used in labyrinths and such, and in this case they may not work due to radio interference. Even if we find that out after we get to Kohima, it's too late, and we can't rely on the beacon.

I see, that is indeed a problem. There's a big difference between the two without Freesia and her friends.

　If we can't get Freesia and her friends on the ground!　What would happen to us?
　It would be nice if we could get back to the island, but I don't think we'd be able to get back that easily.
　Besides, if there were enemies, it would be too dangerous to escape across the sea.
　We don't know what kind of traps are out there, and if we're going to go, we want to make sure we're in good shape.
　Then what means we can take.....

"Instead of calling in a beacon this time, why don't we ask Irina-san to bring Freesia and the others along as normal?

'What!　He's taking me with him!

That's just the way it is. I'm in the middle of the conversation.

'Yes!　I'll shut up!

　When Estelle warned her, Freesia zipped her mouth with her hand and silenced her with a Bishu salute.
　Still unable to hide her happiness, her body pulls and trembles.
　Hmmm, these things make me worry about taking them with me....
　Let's leave that aside for now and move on.

''But even if I were to take her along normally, I'm still worried about how to explain it to Irina-san.

'I think we should think carefully about it for once. We can't run away from the possibility of not being able to use the beacon if something goes wrong. Freesia and Luna are an absolute necessity.

　Well, if we can't call Freesia and the others, that means we can't escape with the beacon either.
　It's a good thing we had an escape device at the shrine, but outside, there's no way to escape.
　I've always thought that we should bring Freesia and her friends along from the start.

　But if we're going to take Freesia and her friends, how do we explain it?
　I'm not going to be honest and say that these two are strong enough to take them as a force to be reckoned with. What's a good excuse?
　I was debating what to do then, when Noor raised his index finger and spoke up.

'Oh, if you're going to be on the ship, how about an Invisible Cloak?　The people in the temple won't be able to tell if you're riding with them.

'Hmmm, with those people who have the blessing of the guardian gods, there's a chance that they might find out for some reason. Besides, I don't think Mr. Freesia would be able to sit still if we got on the ship.

It's not true!　I'll be proper and quiet!　I'm serious!　Trust me!

　Freesia is pleading desperately with her hands in goo, but when she looks at the faces of Sisha and the others, she looks at them as if she doesn't believe them.
　Even if they can hold back at first, I can see them screaming wow or something along the way, and finally taking off their invisibility cloaks and running around.
　Yeah, the idea of having him come with me while hiding is impossible.

'The Invisible Cloak doesn't sound bad, but I guess I'd better stop. There's a chance that you might be taken away by the example Dara instead of the ship.

Considering the way it looked, there's a good chance we'll go that way.

'Then the Invisible Cloak will never work, sir...'

　Thinking back to Irina's reaction at the shrine, she's going to say we should head out as soon as possible, just like she did at the shrine.
　That would definitely get Dara to help us, and would it be tough for her to turn invisible and ride with us?
　In the end, we didn't come up with a good idea after that, but Luna, who had been listening to us in silence, opened her mouth.

'Heihachi, take us with you as is. If they suspect you, say I'm Esther's errand boy.

Yes, but...

I don't want to have to hide. There is no guarantee of safety on the road. We don't want anything to happen to Heihachi and the others.

　I don't think Luna would have wanted to be the first to ask you to take her away.......and she's thinking of us.
　She looks a little embarrassed with her face and ears turning red.

　
　I don't know if there are humanoid messengers in this world, but if that's the case, can a little deception work?
　Luna can also use magic, so let's just say she's a mage at first, and if there's any doubt about it, let's call her a messenger.
　Fortunately, if it's just for looks, they won't find out that you're a vampire.
　As long as Freesia doesn't show her ears, there's no problem, so if we show our abilities with this, will Irina-san allow me to accompany her?
　This time, I'll have no choice but to honestly say that I'm bringing her along because she'll be an asset.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's a good idea to bring them along as normal this time. It's more important to reduce the danger on the small island than for Luna and the others to be known for their ability to fight.

Considering that we may not be able to get them there, I suppose that's not an option.

'Yes!　We can go out with Heihachi and the others!　I'm going to protect you well!

I'm a little worried that you're really going to be okay at this rate.

　Estelle looks at Freesia, who is anxiously putting one hand on her cheek and rejoicing.
　It seems that Freesia is also aware that she's protecting us, but for some reason, seeing her happy, I'm starting to feel uneasy too.
　I'm more worried about this guy than Luna, but I'm not sure if he's going to be okay.

I only think about what happens after we arrive at the island, but like Luna-san said, it's safer to think about it on the road too. If we were to be attacked by a diabolus while we were on the boat or in Dara-san's car, it would be very difficult for us to deal with it on our own.

'I can now designate a space to blow up too, but it takes a little longer to use it, so it's hard to deal with. On that note, Freesia seems to be able to shoot them down pretty quickly.

Heh, I get embarrassed when people expect so much from me.

　Freesia rubbed her head and laughed.
　Hmm, it's definitely the most promising anti-air force, but I'm still somewhat uneasy about it.
　Whether this decision will turn out to be good or bad...............I'm afraid to let him accompany me.
