We've reached a certain point in the conversation, and now we're about to have A1 drop everyone off, when I heard Eira's voice from behind me.

''Oh, um...''

　When I turned around, that unconscious girl was standing behind me while pressing a knife to Eira's neck.

''Mi, let everyone go........!

　He said that in a voice that sounded like a bell ringing as the petite looks, and somehow turned around to look at Balto. Then there was Barth's face, which had turned blue with blood.

'No, don't stop, Maia. Lord Taiki has saved us!

　The girl called Maia, who heard Balto's shouting and looked around to think for a while.

　Balto with his arms outstretched and his blue face, and me standing on a stick in front of him. And the families lined up unrestrained in front of the carriage.

　After looking at them, Maea shifts her gaze to Eira, who is holding a knife to her head.

　Zigzagging, sweat is floating in Eira's gaze as she stares straight into Maea's eyes, sweat is pudding in her gaze.

''I'm, I'm sorry!''

　Removing the knife from Eira, Maea knelt there and apologized. Eira's neck doesn't seem to have any wounds on it.

　When relieved, Balto vigorously bows his head towards us.

''I'm sorry........! I've returned the favor by messing with Lord Taiki's wife.......!

Ma'am.

　Balto's line was met with a startled voice from behind. It's Eira.

　A little shocked, I lightly wave my hands from side to side.

''No, no, I'm your temporary roommate. I'm about to send you back to your former home...''

　In the course of the conversation, I mentioned a fact that I didn't want to mention. Delicately depressed by his own line, Barth took a glance at Eira with a difficult expression.

'I see. However, even if you are my roommate, the fact is that I pointed my blade at you.......I apologize with all sincerity. Mea!

'Yes, sir! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

Well, I'm glad it's not happening. Now then, those of you going down to the ground, go to the carriage.

　The place somehow settled down and everyone got into the carriage, leaving Balto's wife and her three siblings, who had been marked as slaves, behind.

　Then Maea turns to Balto, puzzled.

''Um, aren't your mothers going to ride?''

　When Maea said that in an anxious voice, Balto raised his eyebrows at Maea. Or rather, is Maea Barth's daughter?

''Trainee and the others have received the slave markings on their bodies.......It's sad, but they won't be able to protect the shrine. Maea, you and your father will have to take the shrine with you....

No! Then I'll stay with my mom!

Maia!

　Barth looked like it was the end of the world at Maia's statement. Well, he's just at an awkward age with his father, probably.

　Somehow I could understand the feelings of both Barth and Maea, so I'll make one suggestion.

How do you think about it? I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the next few days.

'No, no, please wait. Perhaps Maia must not yet understand the story. You see, Maia? It doesn't mean that I won't be able to see my mothers. Lord Taiki has also told me that they will come from time to time. So we're going to do our real share of protecting the shrine...

No!

Maia!

　Barto looks like it's the end of the world.

　While smiling at the situation, I try to utter my suggestion again.

''For example.......let's come back in about six months. At that time, why don't you ask Maea-chan to choose one of them again?

In six months, well, three months...

　I nodded to a sad-looking Barth and I looked at Maia.

'So, would you like to live here for three months?'

　Then Maea nodded with a radiant smile.

'Yes! Oh, please!

　Balto opens his mouth in a serious manner to Maia, who replies cheerfully and jumps down from the carriage.

'Listen, Maia, I'll see you in three months. You'll see your father again in three months. Until then, even if you miss him...

Yeah, okay!

　As I listened to the heartwarming conversation between father and son, I gave A1 instructions. I watch as A1 lifts the carriage, and then I shift my attention to Balto and the others who have managed to get into one of the carriages.

'See you in three months, then.'

　Thus, Balto and his family returned to earth. While I was relieved at the love Balto had for his family, I smiled at the fact that the situation was oddly similar to a job transfer alone.

　No, I think it's more likely that fathers who work alone don't get to go home very often.

　Meanwhile, Balto's wife, Trainee, noticed after Balto and the others landed on the ground, and her sister, Schnee, and brother, Runt, explained the situation.

　Trainee rolls up the hem of her unique cloth and leather clothing and looks at the slave mark on her right shoulder. While Maea also looked at the situation with concern, Trainee laughed and stroked Maea's head in annoyance.

''Well, that's.......sure, you can't protect the shrine with the slave seal, right?

　Muttering that in a calm tone, Trainee turns the front of his body to us and bows his head. It is a down-to-earth style, placing your hands in front of your head.

''Thank you very much for saving us at this time. I will do whatever I can to repay this debt, so I look forward to working with you in the future.

　The beautiful married woman got down on her knees.

　For some reason, those words dance in my head, and I sit upright in front of Trainee as I panic inwardly.

''No, I just happened to be passing by, so don't worry about it too much... Oh, I'd appreciate it if you could help me harvest some vegetables, fruits and medicinal plants if you'd like. If you'd like, I can show you around the island later, including where you live.

　When I bailed out after saying that, Trainee rolled her eyes and looked up at me seriously. Behind her, Schnee and Runt were also surprised.

　While thanking them, Trene compared me, A1, and the castle in the sky in turn.

　Then he turned his head to Maea.

'Maea. It's time for you to get married or something.

　In a calm tone, Traine spoke outrageously. Not only me, but also Maia was immensely disappointed by that.

　Life with my new roommate was going to be full of turmoil.
