All right, let's go home!

　I said that as I walked back to Morier on the Black King Maru with 75 others.

　Tattling: ......

　For a moment, I had the impetus to jump on the back of Morier on horseback, but the impression of a pure white blouse dignified wrapping her slender torso made me stop dead in my tracks.

　Speaking of which, the night of the festival .......

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

''......?''

　As I walked unhorsed, Morier nodded his head curiously.

　Then he fluttered off the Black King circle and lined up beside me.

'You can just ride,'

Hmmm. My ass is starting to hurt.

"Haha.

　I took the reins but didn't get on my horse, so I just trotted along.



　As we passed through the west side of the estate, the 75 of us returned to our respective villages.

　The dusk was deepening.

　Before I knew it, it was just me and Morrie.

　In a strangely tense state of mind

Hey. I need to have a quick word with you.

　I cut him off.

'I'm not leaving ......'

　You're right, you can guess.

'Morier. You know what?

"I'm here! Because ...... I still have a lot of magic to learn from Master!

"Haha.

　I blurted out in self-mockery.

You know what I mean. I don't have the ability to teach you right now .......

Such a thing: ......

　I looked at Morier, who lowered his eyebrows and I sighed.

'You know. You feel bad for me for staying at that party if I get fired, right?

"Huh! ...... It's not! I'm ......

It's the same. It's the same. I don't think that kind of "kindness" is all wrong. In fact, I'm so happy that you've followed me this far. I was about to cry, understood?

Master: "Master ......

But Morrie, you're going to be number one in the world, right? Then you need that party. There's a 'seat' in there that needs you. The only way you can grow any further is by playing quality, real-world games in the right team.

Well, I'll go home with you, then. Your master is also ......

'I don't have a 'seat' at that party anymore. That's why I got fired. "I don't have a seat at the party anymore, that's why I got fired. I'm just me now, and I'm doing what I want to do.

No. ......

So you don't have to feel 'sorry' for me: ......

No, I'm not!

　Suddenly a hysterical voice.

　I'm a little surprised because this is the first time Morier has ever sounded defiant to me like this.

''Then what do you say?''

That's why I'm here! I'm a master of ......su ......su .......

　It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

''W-......-.......''

What's going on?

'Huh! I don't even have to go to ...... anymore. ......

　But the girl squeezed out a muffled voice as if she was frustrated by something and looked down in her eyes.

　It's true.

　Communication with teenagers is complicated.

　Emma and Derry were also difficult to communicate with, but I wonder if Morier will become like that too.

'......'

　Then Morrie stopped talking and I was in a lot of trouble.

　I didn't know what to do, so I decided to move the conversation forward anyway.

Here. Here, here's your ticket for tomorrow's boat.

　Showing him something concrete like this brought Morier back to reality a bit, and for a moment he returned to his adventurer's face.

I'm sure everyone is upset about it, though ....... I left the party in a hurry.

　I see.

　Of course there's a lot of guilt on that side.

　But ......

As long as you apologize, I think it will be okay. Here.

　Saying this, I pointed towards the mansion that came into view in the distance.

　There was a blonde woman with blonde hair, accompanied by Igarashi-san, trying to enter the kettle.

''Ah! Tiana-nee!

　Finally, Morier speaks up in a cheerful voice.

　Tiana seemed to notice us as well and did not go into the mansion, but waited there for our arrival.

　We were probably all three of us excited about the fact that we were about to meet.

　Tokotokotoko......

　However, as the distance between us decreased, the distance seemed to open up, and when I got close enough to clearly recognize their faces, they all had a cloudy look on their faces.

...... See?

　And me poking Morier's side.

'......'

　Morier had a bewildered look on his face, but as expected, Tiana was very sensible.

'I'm sorry. I was just trying to keep you in the dark about Aega: ......

　He immediately apologized to Morier.

''What! ......

　When the girl heard Tiana's voice, her slender back began to tremble as she jumped up and down.

I'm sorry I left so suddenly too.

　Morrie left my side with a tap and ran towards Tiana.

　Pafu: ......

　I'm sure you'll be able to see the golden blonde bangs brushing against your hard-boiled-egg forehead as a gentle white hand strokes Morier's head.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make your life easier and more enjoyable.

That's right. Igarashi-san. Do you have a bath tub?

Yes, sir.

The boat doesn't sail tomorrow. You can stay the night. You can have a bath first. And if Garcia's here, we'll have dinner.

Yes, sir.

　After telling Igarashi-san that, I went into the mansion by myself first.


　◇


　Tokutoku Tokutoku......

　I sat down on the sofa in the living room and poured some shochu into a glass.

　And while I was doing that, Igarashi-san came in.

"You two are currently taking a bath together.

Oh, yeah. Oh, I'm sorry. Can you get me some water?

Yes, sir.

　When I asked Igarashi-san to bring me some water, I turned it over in the air and froze it with ice-based magic [Jord], creating a block of ice.

　I poked at this with an ice pick and it broke in two, so I took another glass and

What about you, Igarashi-san?

　I suggest.

'Yes,'

　I glared at her, so I poured hers as well.

　Callan......

　I recommended this guy to him because I thought he'd talk when he got a drink in him like Akira did .......

'Hahaha! I'm home! Eiga Janies!

　No sooner had Igarashi-san sipped his glass than Gliko came back.

Welcome back ....... You're sweating, aren't you?

Mmm, that's a hoot. I've been training. And I'm hungry. Do you have anything else?

　I stop him as he tries to come into the living room.

'I'll have Garcia make you some later. Go take a bath first.

Okay.

　And then Grieco went to the bath.

'Are you sure you want to go to ......?'

　Mr. Igarashi, who stayed behind, said.

'What?'

'I told you that you were bathing now: ......

　Ah, .......

'Whew. Well, it's good, right?


　Gachaun* slamming slamming. ......!

　After a while, the half-naked woman came back with a terrible noise.

'Oh my God! Eiga Janies!

Yes.

The boy, the boy has become a ...... girl!


　This is how the last pending question was resolved (?). I did.
