"Are you really going to be okay?"
Inside Genoa's office, where only simple furniture is placed.
I asked Genoa, who was looking at me with a very nervous expression.
"Yes? Ah yes. That Genoa, whatever the hero wants...
I sighed lightly at the sight of Genoa saying that, with her face suddenly blushing.
Although he was in a little bad condition when he left the ecliptic, it was because the symptoms seemed to have gotten worse while he hadn't seen them.
"No, not that, but the communications network."
"Ah…"
At my words, Genoa realized that she had misunderstood and put on an embarrassed expression.
But that's for a while.
Genoa, who had already given up all his shame toward her, started answering my question with a confident expression.
"It doesn't matter. It's true that it was installed secretly, but since the demon lord's army has appeared anyway, there's no need to hide it. Furthermore, there will be no reason to hide that fact from the hero."
I let out an awkward smile as I looked at Genoa, who answered firmly.
Looking at the fact that I didn't know that fact until the end of the previous episode, it was because Genoa's opinions were not exactly the same as those of the high-ranking officials of the empire.
"Anyway, it seems you were listening to me."
I changed the topic and said that to Genoa.
Thanks to Genoa, who came to meet her, I was able to observe the reactions of the local people as I headed from the entrance of Caliban Manor to her office.
Most of them didn't even seem to know that I was a hero, but their attitude towards Genoa was unanimous.
Even though Genoa was a little hard on them, she accepted her greetings in her moderation and moved. I could tell that she had put in a lot of effort.
"That, that… Is it a compliment?"
At my words to her, Genoa asked, and I lightly nodded her head.
She knew what kind of character she was, and for me, she had no reason to ignore her efforts.
When I nodded her head, Genoa looked at my face with a surprised expression.
Seeing her like that, I thought maybe I had misunderstood Genoa.
Just as Genoa did not know my life, I did not know hers either.
Maybe she was born and didn't receive proper praise, I wondered.
Although she was fortunate to have been born into a noble family, her life may have been filled with expectations and rebukes that she could not handle.
To protect herself from not living up to those expectations, Genoa might have deliberately treated people with a barbed tone.
Before getting hurt, hurting was a foolish but quite effective method.
As Genoa looked at me with her eyes wide open, like a child who was born and received her first praise, I naturally stroked her hair.
"Good job, Genoa."
"… Mandible."
Genoa's strange breathing was mixed with her quite moving scene.
As I looked at her with a slight frown on her face, I saw Genoa, whose eyes were already half-scented, whispering to me.
"That, Joe, is a little rougher."
"…"
I let out a sigh as I looked at Genoa, who had naturally asked me to hold her head firmly.
It was because I thought it was unreasonable to judge other people's lives at will.
"Miss Geno."
"What's going on?"
The moment when awkward air flowed between me and Genoa.
Someone knocked on Genoa's office door and called her name.
In an instant, Genoa's gaze at her turned fierce, but the news from outside her was not something to be ignored.
"That's why the warrior's party is arguing with each other."
Me and Genoa looked at each other's faces at the voices coming from outside.
If it was my party, it was definitely the dwarves and Karen.
It was not an easy thing for them to fight with each other; they would have to fight alongside the Demon King's army from now on.
"Aaaaa!! Die! You ugly bitch!!"
Hearing the dwarf's angry shouts from outside, Genoa and I quickly ran out of the office.
**
"You bitch! What kind of resentment do you have to do this to us?"
"Ugly bitch, what she does is so wicked!"
Me and Genoa, who quickly ran out of the office, had no choice but to look at Karen and the dwarves with blank expressions.
Of course, the dwarves were tied to the trees as if they were fruit, and Karen was ignoring the dwarves and looking at the wrecked wagon.
"Hmm. Is this part here to reduce the wagon's vibration?"
"You rotten bitch! Won't you release this right now?! Do you want me to put a suspension in your cunt hole and then kick it?!"
Watching Karen and the dwarves mutter to themselves, I naturally touched my forehead.
From their conversation, it seemed that I knew roughly what was going on.
Perhaps Karen was curious about the dwarves' wagons, which were different from the wagons used by humans.
And the method she chose, devoid of her common sense, was decomposition, close to destruction.
Perhaps it was only natural that the Dwarves, who had a strong attachment to carriages, rebelled against Karen's way to her.
And the rebellion of those dwarfs would have been nothing more than a distraction to Karen, who was already stuck in the carriage.
"Yeah, that's right. I could make something roughly similar."
"If all the questions are answered, will you solve that first?"
I said that while watching the dwarves struggle, bound by strings made of mana.
"Release, release! You rotten bitch!"
"Before I tie you up like a turtle with twine and slap you on the ass, loosen it!"
Even though I tried to help, I sighed as I saw the dwarves provoking Karen.
As if they were cursed by some kind of curse, the dwarves couldn't change their habit of talking dirty, even when a knife was inserted into their throats.
The good news is that Karen remains calm despite her dwarves' bad jokes about her.
"Noisy."
Karen, not at my request, dispelled her magic with an expression that she didn't want to look at the noisy dwarves, and thanks to that, the dwarves fell headlong from the tree to the ground.
"Keep it off! My waist! My waist!"
"This crazy bitch is trying to eat the back of a normal dwarf just because he won't fuck me once!"
Even Genoa frowned at the sight of the dwarves groaning in pain and spitting out all sorts of swear words.
Looking at the truly gloomy party, I sighed deeply again.
In any case, in order to set the tempo, they had to safely lead the party to Dwarven City.
"Karen, go back to your room when you've finished your curiosity."
"Where are you going? Fix my carriage and go!"
"Yes, if you can't fix it, you'll get dirty with your body. No, you're not that useful."
I could see the dwarves immediately making a fuss at my words, but Karen ignored them and turned around and disappeared into the castle.
"Hero, this is too much! Didn't that b*tch do something wrong anyway? Huh? From the beginning, we invited only the brave, and we didn't even invite that bitch."
"Okay. If you were a man too, you should have sided with us."
I frowned as I watched the dwarves screaming and surrounding me.
In any case, I didn't like the sight of the furry men surrounding me shouting.
"Mr. James, can't we just fix the wagon?"
"I can't fix it! That ignorant bitch broke everything! You won't be able to get parts properly in human villages."
I scratched my head as I watched James screaming with a guilty look on his face.
It was because he understood why the dwarves were making such a fuss.
"Then the wagon is prepared by us. Is it possible, Genoa?"
"Ah, yes."
I asked Genoa about what the dwarves said, and she answered with her face that she would gladly give her carriage.
"Sounds funny. Do you think a human carriage could climb that mountain? Maybe the wheel will come off in the middle of the way."
It was said that the place where Dwarven City was located was in a high mountain area, so the road seemed to be much rougher than I expected.
"There's nothing we can do. Then we will go on horseback."
"Ha. It's against dwarf etiquette, but that's the only choice."
I couldn't hide my bewildered expression at James' words.
It was because it came as a shock to me that such a thing as etiquette existed, even for these crazy squires.
"Hey, are you riding a horse?"
As I was finishing my conversation with the dwarves, I suddenly saw Genoa asking me that question.
And when I saw her expression in her, I couldn't help but frown at her again.
'This is gone again.'
I saw James sneaking up to me and making the same finger shape.
