"... and. When you tried to deal with the zombies you defeated, did you run away because you saw the Guell leaders approaching you?"
Aid talks plainly while glaring at me.
"······Yes"
The crystal I'm holding my hand on remains transparent. Because I'm not lying! ??
"And what happened after returning to the inn?"
This time Guell asks me a question. Moreover, his face is glaring like Mr. Aid.
"I went to bed after taking a bath with my child at the inn."
Wow! It's like I'm a criminal and I'm being interrogated! ?? I haven't done anything wrong! !!
"I don't think the lie says that the crystal doesn't respond."
I want to go back to the inn already! !!
I look down while thinking so.
"Hey, El-chan"
"What is Lizrina-san?"
When I looked up at Lizrina after raising her face, she was staring at me with a serious look.
"Why didn't you talk to us?"
Liz Lina says with her face close to my eyes.
"That ... I didn't want to stand out because I didn't have time, and after that ..."
"What's next?"
"I thought you couldn't believe me."
"... Can you believe me?"
The moment Lizrina hears the words, her cheeks swell like rice cakes.
e! ?? What's wrong with Liz Lina? Are you angry?
"Oh, hey !?"
"Elraina-chan. If you say that, we'll be hurt ..."
Murina thrust her hand through the gaps in her arms of my plate carrier and rubbed her breasts with her fingertips.
"Yeah! Yame, huh !?"
Now her spine is chilling! !!
"I thought it was a pad, but it's different. It has a rubbing response ..... Momimomi ~"
Stop rubbing anymore! It's going to be weird! !!
"Nyauuuuuuuu ~~~~~~~ !!?"
"Mulina, keep it around"
"Yes, Grandmaster"
After Murina said that, she stopped rubbing and let go of her breasts.
She was good. She was separated thanks to Mr. Guell.
"Well, Elleina. As Murina said, you don't believe us. It's surprising to be told. Why didn't you say that?"
"... That's because even if Guell believes, I didn't know if the soldiers guarding the royal palace would tell Guell about me."
"If you give your name and then give my name, you can get it through."
Uso! ?? Then did you meet Mr. Guell?
"I didn't tell you about this, I was bad."
"······Yes"
"But it wasn't good not to tell anyone about the kingdom's crisis. You know?"
"······Yes"
"We also supported the general guild."
Aid tells me this time, but I can see that she is as angry as Guell because she has a rugged face.
"Even the guild master loves you, so if you talk, he's coming to you."
"Is that so?"
"Oh, that's right."
But if you do that, it feels like it's going to be confusing.
When I was thinking about it, the Duke of Baldeck started talking.
"Well, that's aside. I'm sorry, Elleina, for this time, Guell reports to the King, I have to report to the General Guild Chiefs of other continents and then to the various branches."
After all, Mr. Guell and Duke Baldeck have to report as long as they know. But that's a problem for me.
"Oh, that's a problem for me ..."
"Why?"
"Situations like those of Gozes are already disciplined."
"... Ah ~, I see."
People other than Murina look convinced, but Murina looks at everyone's faces in turn with a confused face.
"What !? What happened in Gozes, Grandmaster?"
"Do you know about the Gozes case?"
"Yes, I know"
"After that incident, Elleina was grateful throughout the city ..."
"But?"
"It was abnormal from my point of view."
"Is it abnormal?"
Murina said while tilting her head, so she decided to explain from me.
"I was grateful to everyone in the city for catching Grubert at a later date."
"Isn't that all right?"
Really, I just want to thank you.
"There were a lot of inhabitants surrounding the entrance to the general guild, and they thanked me so much that they could get in and out of the guild ..."
"eh!?"
"At that time, the staff alone wasn't enough, so we called the Knights and the soldiers in the city to respond."
Keith is laughing bitterly as if he remembers that time.
I don't say it, but for some reason Barbos got angry at that time.
"I wish it was just that ..."
"Is there anything still?"
"Yes ... I have a fan club, but they were causing a lot of trouble to the general guild. I came to the general guild and greeted me without breaking up even though I had no use. , We talked and quarreled in the fan club on the spot. "
"Isn't it kicked out by the stone?"
"It was actually banned, but the fans went in and out of the general guild without listening, and the people in the general guild gave up from the fifth attention."
"Ehhhhhh ..."
Murina has an incredible look.
"I read a letter from Barbos, but it looks like there were others."
"Yes ... I've been confessed to my fans, stalked by stalker, and even rushed to the inn where I'm staying."
When I was in Gozes, I was really tired every day.
"... That was a big deal."
"That's why I'm in trouble if I get a big report that I've defeated a horde of zombies ..."
"Well, I see ... I understand the situation. But Elleina-chan. Whatever your position, we have to report this."
Murina puts her hand on her cheek with her embarrassed face.
Kuu! ?? Is it useless to talk about the situation? !!
"Elraina, I have one suggestion for you, can you hear me?"
Suggestion? Duke Baldeck isn't the one who threatens me, so it's okay to ask, right? If you just listen, it's free.
"Please tell me the proposal"
"The Guells report only to the King, and I'm going to be the other General Guild President, but as an information limitation, I'll limit the information only to the people involved, King Reedgarm, and the General Guild Presidents around the world. ? "
Sure, it's a good suggestion, but I'm worried.
"I can believe the Duke of Baldeck and Guell, but I can't believe the people I've never met. I don't feel like talking easily."
"I will use this paper there. [Contract magic paper magic]."
Duke Baldeck takes out a black piece of paper that seems to be a bad taste and shows it to me.
"What kind of paper is it?"
"You do not know?"
"······Yes"
"Huh ..."
To be clear, the Duke of Baldeck closed his eyes and sighed and then said to me.
"Do you know common sense or not ... I'm worried about your future. Is it okay? Elleina. I'll explain it so please listen properly."
"Oh, please."
Let's ask because it will be useful for the future. Above all, don't make such a scary face because you will listen properly! !!
"You have to keep what you write on this paper. If you violate the contract within the contract period, you will be branded as a criminal, and in the worst case, you will be killed.
Be careful when you look at this paper. You may get an unfair contract. "
It's deadly! !! So scary! !! ??
"You don't have to go that far !!"
"What, rest assured that you can decide the punishment yourself when writing. And this contract doesn't trigger if you try to make an unreasonable contract."
It's safe if the contract isn't activated if it's decided and it's too unreasonable.
"And my brother, the King and the other general guild presidents are hard-mouthed people, so I wouldn't say you defeated a horde of zombies without doing that."
Can I really believe it? The King and the Duke of Baldeck are brothers. Hmm ... OK! !!
"Okay, that's it, so believe in them!"
"Oh! That's right!"
"However! I will write the magic paper of the contract properly and I will decide the penalties!"
"It doesn't matter, but what kind of fines do you have?"
It feels painful to be a sinner or die just by telling me that I've defeated a horde of zombies, so I suggest that I decide on a fine and make a contract other than death.
Alright! Let's make that choice that is often used for light novels! !!
"That's right"
"that is?"
"[When I try to talk, I laugh so hard]!"
"" "" "" Huh !? "" ""
If you laugh like that, you can't talk even if you try to talk! So this is the best choice!
"Is that all right?"
"Yes, that's fine!"
Perhaps the Duke of Baldeck is confused, he turns to me after seeing Guell's faces while hiding his eyebrows.
"Okay. Those who are here will sign a contract here. I'll write it now, so wait a minute."
The Duke of Baldeck took the fountain pen out of his chest pocket and started writing on the contract magic paper, but I was curious about what the Duke of Baldeck had.
"Duke of Baldeck"
"Hmm? What's wrong with Elleina?"
"That's a fountain pen, isn't it?"
"You know it well."
"Yes, I've seen it. Is it expensive?"
I feel that fountain pens are strange in an era when writing with a quill is common sense, but I think it is probably one of the things that the brave brought to this world.
"That's right. Fountain pens are so popular and expensive that they are hard to come by. I'm really glad I finally got one."
The Duke of Baldeck speaks loosely, but he does not stop writing on the paper.
"Well, that's right. Please be careful not to take it."
"I'm also careful about that, so it's okay ... I could write it. Elleina, check the contents."
"Yes, I understand"
I read the paper handed over by the Duke of Baldeck, and the content was incomplete, of course, until the contract period died and the content of the fine was [When I tried to tell someone that Elleina had defeated a horde of zombies, I laughed painfully. ] To make sure there is no mistake.
"... I confirmed. It's okay."
"Well, then call the guild chief. Let her sign a contract here too."
"Chairman Baldeck, I'm here"
"Wow !?"
Suddenly I heard a voice from behind me, so I was surprised and made a voice.
When I turned around, Mr. Lamure stood.
"La Mule !?"
"What happened to the chairman?"
"You're talking about it now ... No, you didn't tell anyone that Elleina had defeated a horde of zombies, right?"
"It's okay. Don't worry, Chairman Baldeck."
How did this person get into this room and get behind me! ??
"Well, that's fine. I want you to write your name here too."
"Okay. Aid, bring me the quill and ink there."
"I understand"
Aid took the ink and quill and handed it to Lamure. Lamure then begins writing his name on a piece of paper.
"Chairman Baldeck, please check."
"... Um, it's your name. Please write your name, too."
"I want to say, but I won't write."
"Why?"
"I will report to the King, so I will do it at that time."
"Oh! That's right. I see. I'll write when I talk to the other president, can you wait?"
"No problem"
Believe that Duke Baldeck and Guell are not the ones to lie or forget.
"OK! Others write their names."
"" "Huh!" ""
When the Knights and Aid instructor replied, Keith, Aid, Murina, and Lizrina wrote on the paper in that order, and then the Duke of Baldeck wrote the name properly on the magic paper of the contract. Make a confirmation.
"Okay, everyone wrote their names. Let's start the contract."
The people who wrote the names cut their fingers lightly with a knife, then hang a drop on a piece of paper and then start chanting.
"" "We swear to conclude a contract with the goddess Meltinas in my name." ""
The Aid instructors said that the magic paper of the contract had shined and then disappeared.
"It ended safely"
The Duke of Baldeck shows a relieved face.
"What? Is it the end now?"
"Yeah, that's right, El-chan. That's why. El-chan, pu !?"
Lizrina puts her hand on her mouth for some reason.
"Mr. Liz Lina, are you okay?"
"Chahahahaha !? Hi, Ahahaha !? Ku, Kuruhi ... A, Ahahahahahahahaha !? Ta, Tasu, Pu !? Kahahahahaha !?"
"Mr. Liz Lina! Please be firm !?"
Why is this happening?
Lizrina kept laughing on the spot while I was worried, and by the time she stopped laughing she was exhausted as if she had run a marathon.
