The Countess's own doctor examined Eco and found that she was suffering from bloating due to overeating, which caused bloating in the abdomen, reduced gastrointestinal function, and mild breathing difficulties.
　She followed her instructions and had him resting in a comfortable position and he soon recovered.

　I thought it would be a shame to lose it," Eco said in an embarrassed tone. Was the food really tasty, or was it just a habit of the cat-type beastmen? Anyway, we need to control the amount of food we eat. If she becomes a fat cat or a fat eco-friendly person, it's going to be a problem for her business.

　We were all relieved for the time being.
　We took a bath in the large public bath, which was as large as a public bath, and stayed in a room like a luxury hotel.


　Next morning.
　I had breakfast at the buffet as I was led to, and we had our final meeting.
　According to Yukari, if the right amount of mithril alloy is delivered, the profit of more than 30 billion CL is solid. I still don't know the details of the plan, but what I have to do is extremely simple. All I had to do was to run around the prolin dungeons to gain experience.

　After the meeting was over, I had lunch with some of the higher-ups. What came out was a lunch box that looked luxurious. It seems that Sylvia and Eco are also eating the same high-class lunch in another room of the mansion.

　Afterwards, we signed the contract and the contract was successfully concluded.

''We are looking forward to meeting you again, gentlemen of the First Test.
　The Count has a beaming face. Good for you.

　We return the greetings politely and leave the mansion.

''Is it all right for you to return to the town of Badgold?
　As I was leaving, Mr. Forrest called out to me. Apparently, he was giving us a ride home too. He even took care of our horses during our stay. Seven Stay-o's coat is looking a little better. It was just perfect.

What do we do now?
Hm?　What do you mean?
No, you know, just sight-seeing in Renyadaw.
I leave it to your master to decide.
I'm on it!
I don't mind either.

　People don't seem to want to go sightseeing too much. So I'll just leave it at that.

Oh, so you can go home ......?
Master?

　I suddenly felt trapped.
　Oh, I think I'm forgetting something.

　What was it ...... hmmm ......?

All right, let's get out of here.

Wait a minute!

　...... oh.

"I'll follow you guys!

　I had forgotten all about it. I was being tangled up with this jerky Countess.

　Sherry stopped Mr. Forrest's bewildered retort of "Miss, that's," "Shut up! I pushed him away and climbed into the parked carriage with him.

　............ What, I'm going to ride in this one too?　With this twirling girl?　You were with him for half a day?

'I'm sorry about that .......
　Mr. Forrest looks at me with a really apologetic look on his face. I'm sure he's being pushed around on a regular basis. ......

'Master, what does this mean?'
　And for some reason, I'm afraid of Yukari. What did I do?

Let's get on ...... anyway.

　One deep breath. I gave up and got into the carriage for the ride home.


　　* * * *


　Disgusted man.
　Your father is in a good mood with his pecking head down.
　I heard he's an excellent spiritist.

　You're really good at it.

　I'm the youngest genius spiritist of the countess. I'm a promising A-ranked solo adventurer. I'm a very, very, very elite wielding the Great Spirit of Earth. I'm the only one with that title in the whole world.
　My father, mother, guilds, nobles, and commoners all praise me.

　I'm .......
　I've never been in the business like that man. I never felt valued. I never made myself useful to anyone. There was never any buzz around me.
　I was always being praised for being great. After that, people leave me as if to say that I'm neither a poison nor a medicine. No, it's this personality. Maybe it's evasive.

　Yeah, I'll admit it. I'm jealous. I'm jealous of that man.

　So I'm calling him out. I thought I'd put our differences aside.

　He's a necromancer second.
　In a word, he was "weird".

　All the time with a relaxed expression. She wasn't intimidated at all by the fact that we were the Countess. Not in the least bit intimidated. It's rather rude and blunt.

　...... funny.
　I'm crazy.

　I was supposed to be so jealous, I was supposed to be so pissed off, but deep down inside of me, I felt "comfortable" with that stupid argument.

　I wondered if this is what friends are like.

　They don't just take my "harsh words" as they are, they take them as a "punchline". I never thought that would be so pleasant.

　I felt like he was looking at me, and I felt like he was actually being very kind to me. ......


　...... No, no, no, no. I'm being fooled.
　This is probably because he's being fooled by that sweet mask.

　Even his tailless demeanor is probably because he's making fun of me.

　I'll never admit it. If you admit it, you lose. You have to get him to admit it.

　You just have to make them see that they are different. We are not the same. I won't let you get carried away just because you and your father made a deal.

　And you will have to earn my respect. You're no match for Master Cheryl.

　Then you can go to ......



　　* * *


　The inside of the carriage, which was supposed to be peaceful on the way, turned into chaos.

　It started with Yukari vs. Sherry arguing, and then Sylvia interrupted from the side. I was playing in the corner with Eco, but I guess it's because I'm still a party to this, but gradually the point of view turns to me. From there, it became a scheme of me vs. Sherry instead of Yukari, and Yukari and Silvia left the battle line as if to say "I'll leave the rest to you," and began chatting it up with Eco. Isn't that unfair?

　And for the next two hours, me and Sherry kept talking. Whenever I tried to blurt out something that wasn't quite right, Sherry would intervene and the battle would break out again, just like a comedian trying to get a story together.

　And to make matters worse, as time went by, this guy became more and more lively and seemed to be having fun. I thought he was a bit like Mine in that he was complaining about something but actually seemed to want me to play with him more.

By the way, why are you following me?

　I've had enough of idle chatter, so I decided to change the subject to something more substantial.

Hmph, let's win!　Let's find out who is the better sorcerer, you or me!
How? A fistfight?
'Why not?　Since you're a sorcerer, of course you'll be able to compete in the spirit arts.

　Technically I'm not a spiritist, though.

'Oh well. What's the method?
...... ...
You're thinking now.
It's okay?　There's so much going on, I had to decide which one to choose!

　Very straightforward.

'Oh yeah. Let's make it an adventurer's guild contribution point game!
Didn't you just say so?
Excuse me, I didn't say that.

　I'm telling you: .......

'I mean, a contribution point game, where does that have anything to do with spirit art?
'What?　Since you're a sorcerer, you'll use sorcery to earn points, right?
...... Oh, right.
Huh.

　This is why the generous people let out a sigh with a face like this. Irritated*.
　Me, you see, I don't need to use the spirit arts to make a contribution. I'm not like you.

''Alright, alright. What's the winning period?
One day!　Tomorrow ...... No, the one who earns more contribution points between sunrise and sunset the day after tomorrow wins!　OK?
Okay.

　Be prepared for that. I'm going to double score and make that beautiful face go apeshit.
　I thought about that and continued to talk to Shelly in a supine state of mind until we reached the town of Badgold.



　Night.
　I get a room at my usual inn, finish dinner, and head back to my room.

　Sherry had a room next to me, and we were having dinner together, so there was no need to be noisy.

　The tavern on the first floor of the inn is often frequented by adventurers. Ninety percent of those adventurers are "Sherry Lumberjack! He's a genius sorcerer! It's so f*cking real! And it's a lot of fun. Apparently Sherry is quite a celebrity in the adventurer's circles. When I told him that he was unexpectedly great, he said, "Surprising is superfluous! I was lidded with. I'm the poster child for tsk tsk, like I have a mouth and hands.

　But I'm starting to get used to it. And I'm actually a little bit happy that when I'm blunt, he's sure to give me a joke. Sylvia is too serious, Yukari is too cold-hearted, and Eco is too cute to be a good comedian for our team, so in a way, she may be filling in for the missing pieces.


............ Oh, yeah.

　In the midst of my relaxation, I was reminded of a presence that I had completely forgotten about because of Shelly's incident.
　I summoned Angolmore while I was lying in bed.

'- My Second, it's been a long time since you've been here. 'Yes?'

　He was angry.
　After calling him up on a whim to talk to him, "Bally!" in manner mode. I guess it's because I left it unattended since I repatriated it to make up for the bellyache of

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get your face closer to mine.
　...... It's a little weird to be stuffed into a beautiful woman's body in a sleeping position like this.

I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not. I'm sorry, I've been busy with a lot of things.
Is it ......? Well, let's hear it, shall we?

　I guess I'm supposed to try and talk to you. You want me to talk because you want to hear it from my own mouth, not because you want to share it in an experience?　Or are you harassing me because you know I've talked a lot today?
　I explained to Angolmore, though it didn't make sense to me.

'Ho, you're meeting Normie Death.
She used to be called Terra. It seemed fluffy.
You are. The elusive girl.
'Speaking of which, ...... you killed her father, didn't you?　Is it okay to see him?
I didn't kill him, I destroyed him.
Oh, yeah.
Hahaha, don't worry. There's nothing to worry about. He's just happy to be a genie.
...... Seriously?
I'm serious.

　Terra-san, you might be a surprisingly cold spirit.

''Well, then it looks like it's safe to let them meet.
Hmm. I'm gonna surprise that little chick, Sherry, along with the rest of you.

　Angolmore laughed mischievously at that. This guy is surprisingly mischievous too, despite his ostentatious appearance.

'If you want to go now?　They're in the next room.

...... what?

　As soon as I say it, Angolmore's expression changes.

'What's wrong?'
You said next door. That would be on the left, right?

　Next to the left is Sherry, and the room to the right is for three people.

There's no sign of them in the room to the left.

　He's not in his room?
　Where's he going this time of night?

　............ hmmm?

　Wait. Something's bugging me.

　What did Sherry say?　Guild contribution to the game, that's what you said. When is that, the day after tomorrow?

　Why not tomorrow?

　What's the point of playing as lame a game as you came up with in that place in the first place?

　Why is Sherry taking a shot at me?
　Why are you following us?
　Why do you want to play the game?

　...... Maybe there's a real purpose to this, isn't there?

"You're probably jealous.

　Angolmore's point.
　Okay, jealousy. I suppose it's understandable.

　Shelley was jealous of me. I guess that's the spiritist in me.
　How do I get rid of that jealousy? That's why I agreed to accompany you.
　So is the purpose of this plan to deprive me of my existence or something?

　I mean, here at Badgold, my ......

"--Hey!　Seriously?
Yeah, that must be it.
'Woah, shit!　How much trouble can that woman get into!

　I hold my head up.
　I've figured out what Sherry wants.

　I'm reckless. Too much.
　If I don't, he's probably going to die.

　Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. ......

'Duh!　God!　Shit, I'm tired!

　I jumped off the bed, which was gently catching the sleepiness that had been visiting me so impatiently, and ran out of the room with the momentum.

'Huh. The part where you complain and run over to me is the Masukarou man, my Second.



　　* * *


　I'm going to capture the prolin dungeon before the second. That's my plan.

　If that happens.
　You have to recognize me.
　You will have to appreciate me.

　Your father, your mother, and the second will all look at me.
　No one will ever leave me.
　That buzz around the second will be mine.
　Then I won't be lonely anymore.

　I will change.
　I'll use my jealousy of that guy as a springboard to change.

Terra, let's move on.
...... Yes, Master.

　You're a good girl, Terra. You're the only one who has been there for me since I was a little girl.
　Such a twisted, high-handed, harshly worded person, by my side.

"............ Hey, now that we're done with the attack,
Yes, sir.
I told my friends to go to ...... and "join" me. If you don't tell that guy the right way, you'll have to go to ...... and follow up, okay?
"Yes~!
