Together with Aru we ate the hotpot for breakfast, one e demonic beast that resembled a boar I uess I'll be going」

「Right, please say hello to Lili-san for me as well」

「Best of luck with your search, Nectar」

After saying our goodbyes we teleported to the forest near the capital city, walked out of it and after passing through the gate and enter the capital city itself

In the old days you would need a special permit to enter the capital, but nowadays you could freely doic air, I go to the corner of the don area, with the intention of visiting ”Lily's Wo, when there were still no people around, at the back of the shop two people were exchanging bloith their weapons while standing inside a small, closed space

When I stepped into the space secured with ing of metal as well as a woman's rebuke

「Senjiro! What is that stance supposed to be!? Do you truly intend to reach olden hair tied up, Ligurila was still wearing a skirt, even for training

In response to those words, a young man with the same hair color and saurila swiftly countered the cut, and after that she kept her distance Seeing that his teacher had no intention of continuing, the youngthat the lesson was over, I spoke up to the two people

「How are you doing, Ligurila, Sen-san?」

「Good day to you, too」

「Good , No, Ithe appearance of the Hunter ”Noct”, and that aardness on Senjiro's side was never getting old

I o, while I was out on a job connected with Ligurila's work partners

We met in a certain toe departed towards our destination, but on our e encountered soether

After that, he was so grateful tome just like one

Since then, froh-ranking quests for the Guild, usually involving slaying dangerous monsters

「Sen-san, you seem to be fine the way you are Your sword is as sharp as ever」

「Thank you, Lavdono, but I still have a long way to go until I can reach the level of Ligurildono」

I wasn't kidding when I co that earnestly

He came here all the way froot to know that on a later note), and once he arrived he boldly proclaiurila was that kind of person

And even though Ligurila shot hi back on his feet after each such shutdown, and he kept on coh each such atte hiurila was ada as you're unable to defeat , this Senjoro In le time I went to visit her, and if anyone asked me for opinion, that only enuine couple

「…… Is there anything you'd like to say?」

It see, for she started to act awfully intilad to see that after several hundreds of years Ligurila was able to fit in like that, and above all else, that she seemed to be happy

However, since it was the first ti to accept her slight sass as it ithout saying anything back

Because if I did, then boy, I would never hear the end of it

…… For once, let's just pretend that nothing really happened

「No? Not really You look like really good friends Nothingout at htly red as she turns her eyes away frourila would ever react like that under a normal circuht for a while

While I was laughing, Ligurlia gli a towel fro all this time around the shop's back door

「Since you told us you were coether with us?」

「But of course」

I knew that Ligurila had her own shop to attend to, and so I proposed toI confir side of hers

「Right, I ao and take a bath now, so could you please wait in the living room in the o and cleanse urila said soe to Seijiro

「Oh my, why not use some hot water from time to time?」

「N, no, it's only natural to wash one's body in cold water after a long and hard training」

For some reason, Seijoro started to act awfully bashful

「Should I wash your hair for you again?」

Seijiro, who turned all red, and started to play with his hair while fidgeting around and acting all hot and bothered

W H A T H A P P E N E D

I was excited to learn what Senjiro's curiosity got hiurila was not willing to stick with it any longer, not with that look of satisfaction on her face

「Oh urila said that with a beautifully evil voice so characteristic of women like her, and then disappeared at the other side of the front door

Feeling relieved, I called out to unfortunate Senjiro, whose shoulder dropped miserably

「Sen-san」

「What is it?」

「Are you okay?」

「…… Honestly, living as a aveall shy

「But, it only goes to show that the other person is thinking about you as well, albeit in their own unique way Forthat」

「I see」

Then it's all good, I guess

I laughed together with Senjiro for a little bit

After a short while, the three of us ate a sold breakfast consisting of warm soup, some meat and handful of slices of bread

After that Senjiro bid o to the Hunters Guild to take care of some work-related business

After ere alone, I briefly told Ligurila about the staff theft case

「I see, so there are de that thisas Ligurila, but there h the protective barriers and infiltrating Signos Acade about it with Nectar, and so I decided to pay Ligurila a visit and ask her if she knew about any de for the official quest to search for the lost staff

And if by any chance she knew soo and hunt those demons myself

「If it's a lesser or even mid-tier deh the Acade detected But ould deician?」

「Yes, that is exactly what I thought」

Because deic tools the them

So ould they want to steal the staff if they could easily create so as powerful, or even more powerful than that?

「I wonder ould they need Kyle's staff for?」

「You, did you really allowed for soht under your nose?」

Hearing Ligurila's question, the only thing I could do was to turn my head away ans scratchthat the ht break one day, Kyle incorporated it in his staff, so he could also use ht that Kyle's consciousnesswithin the staff itself

At the very least that's what Belga has told h the probability was astronomically low, it was not all that ih on this one, so I was truly feeling down about it

「Anyways, are there any chances that demons like that can be found nearby?」
