Hi. Eiga Janis. Long time no see.


　I looked up at Gliko's world's best legs while being squeezed by a sleeping Igarashi-san.

　The beauty's silver hair, which she looks at from her back, seems to be dominating the sky far away like the aurora borealis.

Come on, get up.

　Grieco hugs Igarashi-san's shoulders from above.

　I'm finally able to get my upper body up, thanks to

Hmmm ......

　Igarashi still slumped in her sleep, so I rushed to support her body as well.

Oops. ....... Anyway, I'd like to carry her to bed.

　When I asked him to do so, he nodded his head, so I squeezed Igarashi's left shoulder and Gliko squeezed his right, lifting him up and carrying him to the cabin.


　◇


"Sankyu. Glico.

It's not even close to ...... thanks.

　Now, I put Igarashi-san to bed in my room and I sat down in the round chair beside her to check on her.

''Suu ...... Suu.''

　The jet black of the ponytail lying on its side, rustling against the pure white sheets as it breathed in its sleep, looked eerily clean.


　But still, what you did with me is .......

　I'm not going to be the only one who has a weakness for alcohol.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.

......

　Under the light of the room, I could clearly see that her white skin was flushed with intoxication.

''I'm sorry. Igarashi-san ......

　I put a hand cooled by the night breeze on Igarashi-san's cheek, which was dyed a light pink color.

　My cheek flesh is hot like burning .......


''Hey.''

　While I was thinking like that, I heard a voice calling out to me, and I wondered what it was, but Guriko was still standing in the room with his arms crossed like a Niou.

　Hmm?

　What are you staring at?

What the f*ck?

Xama, you seemed to be very much in love with him earlier, didn't you?

What do you mean, "Deranged"?

Don't play dumb! You were happily tut-tutting with this girl!

　Oh, I thought I saw that guy.

　You saw that?

......

　If you were watching, you'd know it was a drunken accident.

No, I don't know. Do you still want this girl, Kissama?

Shut up. You wouldn't understand.

I don't care!

　Gliko grabs me by the chest.

"You can't just go to ...... and get pissed off!

　and flinching at ......

　And then.

"Doesn't Gliko like me by any chance?

　Who could blame me, I thought for a second.

　Because I'm going to be so jealous.

"You ......

Mmm, what?

...... No.

　When I'm a little awkward, Grieco continues.

Huh. I agree with you that this girl ...... is a good girl. But life is not rushed. There are other women who have feelings for Kisama, too.

It's ...... who are you talking about?

　I ask hesitantly.

'You don't understand if I don't tell you? ...... It's a no-brainer.

　Grieco sighed and brushed back his silver hair and said

'Of course it's Morier Laxtrame,'

...... Huh?

　I was already bracing myself for Grieco to tell me, but it seems that's not the case, I'm painfully ashamed of my self-consciousness, and the name I wasn't expecting to hear came up so suddenly that I let out a shrill scream, as if I'd been caught off guard by a monster.


You'll have to think about that. Morier may not be out of the woods yet, but she's going to be a stunningly beautiful woman in no time.

　Yeah, I very much agree with that view: ......

Why is Morier out of the blue right now?

'Of course it's because Morrie Laxtrame likes Kisama.

What?

Don't play dumb! No matter how dull you are, you can't be so insensitive that you can't realize the goodwill of the girl who left her party behind and chased you into your territory.

　No, no, no, no, that was when I was about to say back to Morier because he's a gentle guy and .......


　Thump, thump, thump! ......

　The door to the room is slammed hard.

'Who's there?'

'Sir! Myself.

　Sounds like Garcia.

　I'm opening the door.

You're early. My partner, you have a good time?

Yeah, it went faster than I expected.

You're lying. You were just with me a while ago at ....... Mogogo.

　Garcia rushes to restrain Glico's mouth as he tries to say something.

　What the hell are these guys.

'So, I heard that Igarashi-san is in trouble when you go home, so ...... you know, drinking water.

Oh. Thanks. I'll get you a drink when you wake up.

　I put a pitcher of drinking water under my pillow so that I can drink it any time Igarashi-san wakes up.

'That's why, Guriko-san. The rest is ...... for the two young people, so we'll leave.

Hmm, not so fast.

But you don't have to do that.

What's going on?

　I don't understand why they are sparking off each other, "What's the meaning of this?

　I let them go and was caring for Igarashi-san as he groaned and stroked his ponytail, but I suddenly got curious and interrupted him.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one. What are you doing here in the first place?

Hmm? ...... Mm. I've come to see you because Morier and his friends are coming to this city soon: ......

　Grieco says that he found out about my defeat of the boss in Le Monde's forest through the guild's message board.

'I just glimpsed it on the deck 《deck》 earlier, and it looks like the lords of ...... Kisama are starting to take shape quite well.

　And I'm glad to hear your praise, but ......

'No, no, no, it's not about that. ...... What? Cross and the others are coming to Hafenfeld?

What, you don't know, Kusama?

　Gliko continued with a feminine sigh.

''The appearance of the sixth Demon King Animus in the Goeteburg Castle of this culture would have been [foretold]. They have been assigned a quest to defeat that demon king class. They will come to this city soon.

　!

That's ...... right. They finally got the Demon King level ......

　As I muttered this, I felt my heart begin to race.

　Then I let go of the beautiful ponytail and stood up.

"Garcia. Take care of the rest.

'Duh, sir. ......'

　Thus, I walked out of the room.



　◇



　Speaking of which.

　It's already been less than ten months since I was fired from the party and Cross and the others were going to Zahalbert.


　I wonder how much stronger they've become since then.

　All I could think about that night, but that doesn't mean I can suddenly do anything.

　It's just that my eyes were so bright that I couldn't sleep well.


...... Morning, huh?

　My territory has only just obtained a Class B license.

　The Demon King level is still a long way off.

　When I think about it, I'm getting impatient, and I can't wait to go on this adventure.

"I'll be off tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!

　I had promised myself that I would be there.

　Many of us were groggy from yesterday's feast.

　d*mn ......, I thought, but I'm also sure that rest is important to the adventure.

　It wouldn't do any good to force them to pull out.



　Heeheen!

　So I straddled the Kuroo Maru and left the ship early in the morning.


　Pakara, Pakara, Pakara ......!


　I'm riding my own horse.

　I'm heading to the new B-class quest area, the underground labyrinth of the Riesentinge, the Dungeon.

　That's right.

　I thought that if the residents are on a holiday, I'll be able to capture a dungeon on my own today.
