One morning, a carriage is slowly moving down a road with idyllic meadows. There was a tense atmosphere in the carriage.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
While saying that, a black wolf man looks back and calls out with a dismayed face while a black wolf man clasps her reins to a demon girl who is swaying a carriage while regretfully stepping on the ground.
"Calm down he is Miharu. The horse will run away."
"Because ... because the master! The general guild guys!"
"That's bad for you"
"Even my teacher tells Hull that !?"
With tears in his eyes, he keeps talking without such a problem.
"Well, that's because you fail the quest five times in a row? And the reason is good until you succeed in wolf's subjugation request, but you got into a fight with the guys who cooperated and injured you. That's right. "
"Because I made a fool of Hull ..."
"And there was a problem with the request I gave you."
"I did it properly !!"
"Do you lie so?"
"I didn't tell you a lie !!"
The black wolf man who heard the words turned down and dropped his shoulders.
"Hmm ... I'm talking to you too."
"Eh !? ... Seriously?"
When Miharu asks his master terrifyingly, he creates wrinkles between his eyebrows and begins to speak while glaring with a sharp eye.
"Seriously. I will report after the contract deadline has passed."
"Well, because ... the more monsters you have defeated, the more money you will get ... so you just defeated a lot of goblins."
"You're the only idiot who keeps defeating you without thinking about the deadline! I was really worried about you at that time!"
"Wow !? Woooooooo ..."
He squeezes his body and looks up, but he keeps talking without worrying about it.
"If you fail the next quest you received, you will be downgraded, so you know that there is no end to it unless you succeed in the quest?"
"Well, that's right ... Miharu is doing his best to complete the quest!"
"There is no point in trying hard if the result is a failure at the time of reporting."
"Woo ..."
With a growl, he drops his shoulders.
"We will soon reach the royal capital of the Kingdom of Reedgarm. Have your guild card and cargo materials ready."
"Hmm ... Master"
As she reluctantly prepared, he stared at the distant royal city with a nostalgic look.
～～～ Elliner side ～～～
"Hmm ... Is it like this?"
She said she would stretch her back after looking around her walls and floor for dust and dirt.
"Okay, cleaning is over! I'm tired!"
And when she finishes stretching, she begins to clean up the cleaning tools she has left near her.
Six days have passed since she fought Dozem.
To briefly explain the process up to that point, the brave men went back to the empire like a dragonfly the day after they had an audience with the king the day after they were helped by me, but when they left, they told me. I said this.
"At first, I thought I would be strong enough to fight next to Mr. Elleina. But when we talked together at night, that's no good. I came to the conclusion. "
Why am i When asked why, Miumi replied:
"Dozem told us: The strength of the demons we dealt with in the empire is the lowest. I was happy to get rid of the bottom opponent. I'm floating on you. I can't deny it.
We were actually floating ... "
This time I start talking so that Mr. Iori will continue.
"So I don't know how strong Dozem himself is among the demons, so I thought I had to be strong enough to easily defeat Dozem."
I see ... Did Dozem say that? In other words, there may be someone stronger than Dozem. Did you think ... No, it's right. It would be true if he said so.
There is no merit in telling such a lie in a predominant situation.
"So this time, don't be like that ... Let's work together to become stronger! This time I swore to beat the demon! !! 』\
While Daiki says with tears in his eyes, Miumi and Iori hold their hands close to each other, but tears also appear in their eyes. All three are more disappointed than the feeling of being happy to be alive. I wonder if my feelings are bigger ...
"That's why you helped me and taught me a lot. Thank you so much! !! 』\
When Daiki bowed and thanked him, Miumi and Iori also bowed to continue.
"Thank you for helping us! !! 』\
"... Thank you, get stronger"
After that ... I don't remember why. Moreover, I was supposed to be outside, but I was sleeping on the sofa of the general guild. It remains unclear why he was sleeping on the sofa.
And the most worrisome thing is that even if you ask all the staff why, they won't tell you! !! ······why?
Ah! Oh yeah, the day after I broke up with the brave men, I also said goodbye to Peach.
Before parting, Peach said with tears and a runny nose.
"Gusuu! ?? Elleina Chuan, I'm really lonely to break up with you! !! 』\
I also lonely. Peach began to say, holding my hands.
"Gusuu! ?? Someday, please come to the Maiden Kingdom in my second home, the Demon Kingdom! !! I'll show you around! 』\
Oh, yes. I thought in my heart while replying. So what is the "maiden kingdom"! ?? I definitely don't want to go! !! ?? What do you mean by being in a demon country? When.
And this time, I started to say to the Second Knights of Guells who had come to see me off with me.
"Guel Chuans, do your best too! Especially Amy Chuan is a proud child of me, so please do your best! ?? 』\
Peach is talking, but I don't know why, but Amy sprinkles salt ... No, she starts throwing salt at Peach.
"Amy Chua, Wap! ?? Why am I! !! ?? Throw salt! !! !! ?? 』\
"Noisy! Noisy! !! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !! !! ?? What about you ... You should go somewhere quickly! !! !! Shhh! Shhh! 』\
"That's right! ??・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ Hidden Iwa Amy Chua! !! In the old days ?? 』\
"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !! !! 』\
To Amy, who keeps throwing salt at high speed while yelling, Peach turned around and said that she would straddle the horse to escape.
"Amy Chuan! !! I won't give up ... I won't give up! !! !! I believe that someday I'll love you for what I want to see! Wow yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah !! !! ?? 』\
I and Guell stare at me and Guell as they scream and sprinkle tears and salt on their bodies around them, but it goes without saying that no one has created a regrettable atmosphere.
And now that I've finished cleaning up the cleaning tools, I sat in a chair to take a break ...
"One-chan, have you finished cleaning?"
Before I knew it, a little girl was behind me and called out to me.
"Uh, yeah it's over"
When I said that, the child hugged her right hand with her eyes shining.
"Then, let's play with Nei!"
Yeah, that's a bit of a problem, but! ??
"Oh ~ !? Ney is sly! I want to play with my sister ~~~~ !!"
When the boy hugged my left arm while saying so, he glared at Nei-chan.
"Yeah! Nei is the first one !!"
"I'm better!"
"Muu!"
"Boo!"
When they inflate their cheeks, they start tug of war with my hands.
The reason for this is that the beginning of the matter was when I went to the general guild to look for a request.
When I was looking for which request to accept, Mr. Lamure called me from behind and said:
"I'm sorry, Elleina, I have a request that only you can ask ... Will you accept it?" 』\
"Is this a request that only I can ask?・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ Uh ~~~
When Lamure asks me personally ... Is it a powerful monster extermination or a demon relationship?
"... I understand that I feel reluctant. But if you're told you won't accept this request, don't worry about what to do. "
He sighs when he sees Lamure, who has a troubled face while staring at the request form.
Lamure is in trouble ... then it can't be helped!
"Shall I accept the request? 』\
"What? Really! !! 』\
"Yes, I'll confirm it for the time being ... How dangerous is that request? 』\
"Relieve because there is no danger of life"
Is there a danger of life?
"No way ... Is it a request like the last delivery? 』\
"······That's it"
Then there is no danger, so should I take it? Well, there is no such incident as before ~? ······Perhaps.
"I'll check it just in case, but do you really accept the request? 』\
"Eh, yeah ... I'll take it."
I approached my face and told me, so I answered so while leaning back a little.
"Well, that was good. I want you to sign this document. "
"Well, what ... eh! ?? 』\
Mr. Lamure shows me the documents I have in my hand, so when I read the contents, I am surprised aloud.
"What's wrong, is there something wrong? 』\
"No problem, cleaning the orphanage ... Anyone can do it, right? 』\
Moreover, the reward is five bronze coins ... it's too cheap! !!
"It seems that one of the people working at the orphanage has hurt his back, so he can't handle it. It seems that it would be helpful if there was someone who could do just cleaning. "
"Hey, is that so?"
It seems that the number of people working is small because it will be difficult to work if one person leaves. Moreover, if the reward is small, is the salary cheap?
"Write your name on the document sooner than that. I'm not free like you. "
"eh! Write. I'm going to make this request! ?? 』\
When I was surprised, Mr. Lamure lifted his eyebrows and brought his face closer.
"Elraina ... Was your remark a lie? 』\
"e! Uh, lie ...? 』\
"You said you would accept this request."
"Ah! ?? 』\
Certainly said! But ...
"Well, please wait, Lamure-san! !! I didn't think it was a request to say so, so the request was to someone else ... "
"Receive without saying anything"
While saying that, he emphasizes the documents he is presenting.
"No ... but the request is a little ..."
"Good, good, bad, good! !! 』\
Wow! ?? Lamure is terrifying and scary.
"... Yes, I will receive it."
And now ... Isn't there more children?
"Onee-chan! What are you playing?"
"No! Nei is the first!"
Ah ~ Dangerous, Nei-chan is about to cry.
"Sister, beautiful Kami! Good!"
While saying that, there is one girl who touches her hair and starts playing.
"Sister, why is it white?"
As an adult, I answer rude boys politely.
"It's been white for a long time, so I don't have gray hair."
"Hmm, that's right. Rather than that, let's play with us !!"
Hey, ask me that! !!
"You guys! Don't bother her! Stay away from her !!"
"Huh! !! 』\
When a man dressed in a monastery says so, the children leave me with a cheerful reply.
"I'm sorry. The children caused trouble."
"No, I don't care. They are good children who can listen to what the director says."
Really, I want to show it to somebody and let them emulate ...
"If so, it seems that you have already cleaned it. Please go slowly. We will prepare tea for you."
Oh, can you even have tea! It's kind. Ah! ?? But now that the orphanage is in a difficult situation, I feel bad ... Let's stop.
"No, I only accept my feelings. I would like to visit one more than that ... Is it okay to ask?"
"Yes, it doesn't matter."
"Is the condition of the person who has hurt his back okay?"
The director said that he would show me a smile.
"Yes, it's okay. If I take a rest today, I'll be able to return tomorrow."
"I can return tomorrow ... that? Did you have a backache that heals so quickly?"
While saying that, he was tilting his head and the director began to laugh while staring at me.
"Ha ha ha! If you have back pain, it will heal faster because you received recovery magic from the church than to see a doctor."
"Oh! I see, did you say that? Then I was relieved."
In the case of injuries, it seems that magical treatment is faster than using medicine. If so, will doctors mainly treat colds and other illnesses?
"Then I'm done, so I'm going to the general guild."
"Have you gone yet?"
"Yes, it's annoying for me to stay busy for a long time."
I got up from my chair and tried to go to the general guild, but the kids grabbed my pants.
"Sister, are you ready?"
"I'm lonely!"
"Ichayada !?"
"Play with Nei, play with me !?"
Stop and don't look at me with those round eyes ... I feel guilty to leave here! !!
"I'll play when I come to the orphanage next time."
"really?"
"really"
"Can't you lie?"
"I won't lie"
"Promise"
"I promise"
It's pretty persistent.
When I turned my face to the director with that in mind, I was staring at me with a smiling face.
"Thank you for your request!"
"No, please take it again if you have the opportunity. These children also like you."
"Hahaha ... I'll do my best."
After saying that, I left the orphan and headed for the general guild while waving at the director and the children, but I was thinking about this on the way.
From now on, let's confirm the requested request and then decide whether to accept the request or not!
