After cleansing her daughter, Botacouli uttered a few words of thanks to me, Estia and Alice.
'Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to speak with Mitis one last time. There is nothing more for me to be reminded of.
You have no regrets?
　Before he knew it, the dark spirit and Estia seemed to have been replaced.
　And Forenoire had also returned to the spirit crystal.

''Yes. I have done something truly unforgivable. I am currently the director of the hospital like this, but my hands are still too bloodstained to help the children's future. Especially since you have taken the lives of your daughter's parents for your own selfishness...
　Botacouli poked his knees and bowed his head.

'I will not allow you to break your promise to Mee. Your father and mother were both killed by you. That resentment will never go away and I will never forgive you. Still, it was my last request when Mee-chan died, so.......
　Tears were flowing incessantly from Esther. I'm sure she has a lot of feelings, but she still made the decision to put away her resentment for the sake of her friends.

Botakouli, you already have no freedom. You have to educate your children until your body rots. I know it's naive, but think of it as a job with that much responsibility.
　The first orphanage that the Healer's Guild began to run again would be an important place to protect the future of children in this world. That's why we need them to run it with their lives on the line.

"Mitis-chan adored you to the very end. You must keep that promise to Mitis until your last hour.
　Alice clasped her own hand and uttered that. It seemed as if she was saying this to herself.

'I will not allow you to try to make it easy for me. If you try to make it easy for me, I will erase your memories, Mitis-chan.
　Estia told her and walked towards the entrance and opened the door to find a group of children gathered there.

　Estia smiled at the anxious children and headed out.
　Alice and I didn't say anything to the kids, we just smiled and decided to follow Estia.
　After we left the room, we saw that the kids were going into Botakouri's private room.

　The rest is up to the church and if Botacouli keeps his promise to his daughter, this orphanage will be fine.
　With that in mind, I followed Estia.

　Estia was in tears as she left the orphanage.
''Luciel-sama, um, I'm going to cuddle up with you, can you take me back to the inn?''
Okay, I'll take care of it. Good luck.
　It would be easy to talk to Esther, but it would be better to have someone to snuggle with now than a few words from above.
　Deciding that, I decided to ask Alice to accompany me.

　As I dropped her off in front of the inn, I was stopped by Estia just as I was about to return to the Adventurer's Guild.
I'm really grateful to you, Luciel-sama. May I continue to accompany Luciel-sama on her journey?
That would be great.
'I understand. Then I will serve Master Luciel from now on, not St. Schuler's Church.
　Hmm?　There was something about the way he said it that bothered me a little.

"You work for me?
'Yes. As Master Luciel's squire, I will be like Master Lionel and the others.
　

'Well, I'd like to be that squire, it seems like my future is secure and I'd like to be one...'
　I go through Alice, who suddenly appeals to me with a wink like that, and I tell her how I feel.

''Estea, I'm glad you feel that way, but you don't have to force yourself to be a squire, you know?
'No, I want to work with Luciel-sama to make the world a peaceful and peaceful place.
　He's very determined.

'I see. But I don't see you as a squire, I see you as a companion, so if you have a definition, you'll have to ask Lionel.
Yes, thank you.
　

'The Lady Luciel?　I have some pretty capable skills too, right?　If you're running a trade association, you're already working awesome.
So, you have a good night's rest.
Yes, Master Luciel. Good night.
Good night.
Hey, Esther?
　Thus, while me and Estia left Alice alone, I decided to return to the Adventurer's Guild.

　Even so, walking down the street at night alone was unthinkable in the past.......
　The adventurers and people coming out of the slums, but I was afraid of the gatekeepers too, you know.
　When I think about it, maybe I'm slowly changing too........

　It seems that there is indeed a relationship that just doesn't change.
　There was Master standing in front of the Adventurer's Guild.

"Master, why are you standing in front of the Adventurer's Guild?
"Well I just needed some air. Is that the end of your errand?
'Yes. I don't suppose there's anything else you can do when you're in Meratni anymore except for the Adventurer's Guild.
Okay. Then you'll have to go along with the mock battle as promised.
Please be gentle with me.
....
　The master grinned and smiled, then opened the door of the Adventurer's Guild and went to the underground training ground.

''It can't be helped. Today was the hardest day I've ever had, so it's just as well to get back to normal life. Today is the day I'll beat my master and sleep comfortably.''
　But on this day, in a mock battle with my master, I was slashed and slashed and treated, not to win or lose, but to stay with him until he was satisfied, only to sleep like mud in peak exhaustion.


　The next morning I was woken up by my master.
'Hey, Luciel. Get up early.

　When I woke up, rubbing my eyes at the sound of my Master's pleading voice, he was red in the face.
'Well, what's wrong?'
We'll find out when we get up there. I want you to hurry up and cleanse the ground floor.
Um, okay.
　Master had never come into his private room, so when he left the room, thinking that there was something going on, he saw that the guild staff and even the adventurers had gathered there.

''What's going on?''
　It bothered me that everyone was looking at me like I was clinging to them, but I decided to go up to the first floor anyway.

　And as I started up the stairs, I understood.
　This was the smell of object X, I thought.

　I reached the first floor, cleansing, and the ground floor was filled with smoke.
　Why?　I had that thought, but as I purified, the source of the smoke was still the cafeteria.

　For now, the purification above the second floor can wait, and when I entered the cafeteria, I found the fallen Gulgar-san and Walrabis there.


　And as we cleansed the dining room and the cooking area, we found that object X was splattered on the side of the stove where the food was being prepared.

　The food was arranged in a row on the counter, all topped with dubious colors.
''I guess we need Garba-san to stop Gulgar-san's outburst, after all?　Or do you want to retrieve the magic tool that creates object X, like Yenis?　I'll leave the decision to the master.
　I collected the food in my magic bag and then completely cleansed it before heading back to the basement.

''Master, you all can make it to the first floor. I couldn't decide if I should enter after the second floor, so if you can accompany me, I'll purify it.
　Then they looked at me as if I were a hero.

'Well done, Luciel. So what was the cause?
'I think it was because Mr. Gruger was cooking Object X and the Walrabis carrying it fell and spilled it.
Well. Then it's time for you to be punished. Particularly since you've caused trouble for the Adventurer's Guild this time. I'm sorry, but for now, you'll have to come with me to cleanse the Adventurer's Guild.
Yes, sir.
　Then, after following Master around and purifying the entire Adventurer's Guild, Master, who wrapped Gruger-san and Walrabis in a circle, who still hadn't woken up, whether it was the haunting of Object X or not, applied Object X to their faces and awakened them.
''It stinks... what!　What does this mean?
I can't move.
　Shortly after they were awakened, they realized they were bound.

'Grugar, you broke your promise and made Object X smoke, didn't you?
Bu, Brod, wait. Wait, wait, wait. You can tell me.
''Lately, your behavior since Galba's disappearance has been unremarkable. Therefore, I'm going to have you drink at least two pitchers of your own food and Object X this time.
You'll break my nose and I won't be able to cook for weeks.
Rest assured. It's the Guildmaster's job to put the runaway staff back on the right track.
"I don't want to die, why do I have to do this just for falling down?
''This time, you're being punished for endangering the survival of the Adventurer's Guild, Melatni Branch, so just accept it with open arms.

　Immediately after this, the cries of Mr. Gruger and Walrabis echoed over and over again in the Adventurer's Guild.

　And for the master who laughed at the two of them and spanked them, the street name of the demon master would be circulating for the first time in a long time.
