I woke up before the sun rose and decided to head to the room where my sisters were sleeping.

'Good morning. Why are you here?
　Ketty and Kefin were exploring inside as they hid in the hallway.

'Good morning Nya. Luciel-sama is up early as usual, Nya.'
'Good morning, Luciel-sama. The bandits from yesterday were in the vicinity of the inn and I was on alert.
　As for the sisters' escape, I was going to leave them alone if it happened, but I had forgotten about the attackers.
　'I really think Kefin has grown up,' he said.
'I see. You've followed up on my lack of consideration. Thank you. Anyway, I came to give my sisters some equipment besides the robe I gave them yesterday.
''Luciel-sama I honestly don't know why you would go so far with those two. Certainly I understand that they are special because they have the blessings of dragons and spirits. But....
　Kefin told me that, even though he seemed very difficult to say.
　I was glad to feel very concerned about what he said, because I felt that he had properly thought about how it would look from the edge.

　I decided to explain properly, grateful that I had a loyal vassal named Kefin.
'It's not just Kefin, I'm sure everyone else is thinking it too. Why do we do this?　It's like an indemnity for the blessings I've received.
Is that an indulgence?
Yeah. I'm just an ordinary person who can use recovery magic. I'm not a special being. But even so, the dragons and spirits have given me their blessings, and that's why I feel like I was able to overcome the difficulties I've had until now.... So I wanted to show my proof and sincerity to the blessings of the dragons and spirits that I saved the dragon goddess priestess and the spirit king's blessings by saving them this time by saving them both.
　This was my true feelings.
　It was true that my feelings were heightened by being called my mate, and I was also a little paranoid about being the one of destiny, but when I thought about it calmly, I was just a regular person.
　If I was desperate to live with that, I would have only freed the Holy Dragon.
　That's why I wanted to leave the proof that I had worked hard, the price to be paid.

''Meow haha. Luciel-sama is really interesting nya.''
''Pfft. Luciel-sama cares about the details, doesn't he? But your perception of that blessing is different.
　But my feelings were laughed at by both of them.
　I thought I was a little sullen, but then they laughed back and I was stunned.
　I didn't expect to be laughed at in a normal way.
　I didn't expect to be made fun of, and I thought I had gained a loyal retainer, but as expected I got annoyed and asked in a strong tone of voice.
''What do you mean?''

　The two men guessed and replied with a smile gone.
It is true that some are born with blessings. But the only time you can acquire a blessing is when you are recognized by the entity you are giving it to by virtue of your virtue or when you help that entity. So you are in a state of repayment.
What?
　I had no idea of that fact.
"You didn't know?
　Kefin's information is probably true, given Ketty's attitude.
　Then I guess that this is something that is widely known.

　If you think back to when I received the blessing, the blessing of the reincarnated dragon was after I freed it from the seal.
　When I was a water spirit, it was after I saved the Hatch tribe.
　But when it was the earth spirit?　When I think about it, it was when I was giving him high-grade honey and magic power.

　When you think of it that way, they thought they were completely entrusted with the fate of the world.

'You had a fresh morning face just now, but now you have a cloudy face. Luciel-sama, as expected, I apologize for laughing at you.
"...I apologize profusely for laughing at you and for interrupting you in a way that was inappropriate.
　I guess their apology is an apology for getting carried away.

　If the blessing is a sign of redemption, I'll think again there to see if I'm getting anything else out of it.

　In doing so, I honestly don't know the benefits of the spirits, but I remember that the dragons gave me a lot more than just blessings.

　It's not an item left in the labyrinth, but sometimes they gave up their own scales and entrusted their power to the illusionary sword to help me.　

　When you think about it, it's not a bad idea to think that they're happy that you helped them this time.

　The two of them didn't raise their heads at all because I remained silent the whole time.
　I was tired of being mad at them forever, and since I'd made a proper apology, I decided to take it.

　It's not like I'm telling you everything, and it's too narrow-minded of a view to cut out that part of the story.

I was hurt for laughing, but I was able to recognize that I was ignorant. I accept your apology. I appreciate the fact that you said something that was hard to say.
　The two of them bowed their heads as I told them this.

'And about this case, I don't regret helping my sisters, and as ever, as long as I've helped them, I'll do the bare minimum. After that, though, it's up to you guys.
That's what I'm talking about, Luciel. She's as sweet as ever, but she's still a bit of a human being.
'I was rude to you when your kindness saved my life. From now on, I will be loyal to you.
'Don't be so hard-headed. I think of my squire as something akin to family, and I'm a person too, so I'm more likely to make mistakes. And when I do, your advice and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Ha!

　It's a big deal, but if it wasn't for the fact that I saved them, and it didn't remind me of the two people in my previous life I might have given up on them.
　When you think about it that way, if it was because he had the blessing that he met them, then it might be like they were drawn to each other rather than attracted to each other.

　It's strange to be talking in the corridor all the time like this, so I decided to knock on the door of the room where they were sleeping.

　There was a knock on the door, but there was no answer from inside.
'As expected, are they still asleep?
It's too early to tell.
When they wake up, I'll go with them to Master Luciel's room.
Really?　Okay, then.
　Before he could ask, the door opened.

　And when the girls were in sight, they bowed their heads vigorously.
''I'm sorry,''
　The three of us are stunned by the sudden bowing of our heads.

''I was just learning about your stories from the spirits.
I had been taught that.
　If I have the blessing of the Spirit King, can I hear information from various spirits?
　It would have been convenient if it had, but I didn't quite understand why the two of them were apologizing to me.

'If you've been asked, you'll understand, you'll be accompanying us for a little while, won't you?　So I thought I'd give you the armor. Can I come in?
　He was surprised once to be handed his armor, but he allowed me to enter.
'Come in,'
　So me and Ketty entered the room, and Kefin stayed where he was.

'It's from the same auction as yours,'
　I went to line them up on the bed and they were terribly surprised.
''...Um...wasn't this expensive?''
　Nadia asks me, but I decide not to tell her the price.
　This is also for my own warning.
'Since I was in the slaver's shop yesterday and heard that you were a swordsman and a spiritist, perhaps the unusual equipment could be from both of you?　That's what I thought, and that's why I won the bid.
It's mine. I never thought I'd get it back.
　Her sister Lydia was a little more childlike, but she was that much more honest, and she hugged her wand.
''Didn't you have that... um... slightly warped sword?''
　You mean a sword that looks like a Japanese sword?　Or is it a curved sword?
There weren't any. I was thinking in terms of a set of equipment, but it wasn't on display.
...I see.
　I hand a depressed Nadia a so-so looking sword I got during the seal where the thunder dragon was.
''You can use this for the time being.
Thank you.

'I have something to tell you both. Since you guys have the blessing, the dragon asked me to use my powers sparingly to heal your injuries. But this is not normal. Generally speaking, missing parts don't come back, and a crushed eye doesn't come back. Therefore, I want you to wear the hood of the robe you're wearing now for the duration of your stay here in Glandle with your eyes wide open.
　This is a pretty sincere request, but since I won't be coming back to this grundle for the time being anyway, it wouldn't be that much of a problem even if they found out.
　The two of them immediately agreed to it, but they would work on the assumption that someone from the outside would try to find out what happened to the three of them, including me.

　After a light meal in the room they were staying in, it was decided that me, Kefin and Ketty would accompany them to the store.
　Master Brod said it was the guildmaster's job, and we would ask Nadia and Lydia for more information about what happened in the labyrinth of the conspiracy and what happened after we escaped, including the requests they had received so far, and then we would start researching the culprit and the mastermind, leaving Lionel and Esther as guards. I decided to do this.
　I left Estia behind so that the genie wouldn't misbehave with my mentor and Lionel.

　Since there was no opposition from anyone, I came with Keti and Kefin to do some shopping, and they both knew the shops and other things I would recommend, as a matter of course.
　We were able to negotiate and buy a whole pot of food from a restaurant with a reputation for good food, while making sure we had enough of all sorts of fresh produce.

'I didn't expect the shopping to go so fast. When did you two find out?
''When Luciel-sama went into the slave trade yesterday, Whirlwind-sama was giving silver to the adventurers to gather information. I was allowed to accompany him to that.
'I didn't think the guildmaster had a way of gathering information. I'm sure he was just trying to show them how it's done.
　I think Master might have tried the two of them.
　He must have been planning a tour of the labyrinth since that time.
　Thinking of such a master, I completely forgot to give him money for such occasions.

''I see. Oh, I completely forgot to pay you the salary. I'll give it to you later.
'Master Luciel, you know that slaves don't get paid, right?'
You don't need to change that.
'I've decided to give you the minimum amount of money as a squire, not as a slave. Never mind that Lionel knows that, too.
　Well, whether Lionel agrees or not is another matter.
　With that conversation, we returned to the inn and this time we all decided to leave the inn together.

''So you're stopping by the Adventurer's Guild?''
　I ask Master Brod as I lead the horses out of the hermit's stables.
'No, I've sown the seeds, we're going to go straight to the labyrinth.
I understand.
　Forenoire came out to see if she was feeling better, but one look at the whole thing and she bit my head sweetly, so I cast a purification spell and went back to the stables again.
''Well that's fine. Let's go then.
　The Master and Lionel would be the riders, Ketty and Kefin would go to the groom's seat in the carriage, and me and Estia and the sisters Nadia and Lydia would get into the carriage and leave Grandle.

　But as soon as we get out of Grandle, we're going to be stopped.
