That night.

I left Yukino, Lisette and Haruka at the village chief's mansion and decided to stay at another house.

I thought that Yukino wouldn't feel at home if I suddenly moved in with her, even though she had finally found a place where she could relax. She had traveled a long way from the capital to here after her reincarnation, and I wanted to give her some time to relax. Yukino is also my guest, after all.

I'm staying at the house where Lisette used to live.

This is the first place I settled down in this world, and I hardly use it now.

I stay at the chief's house because it's easier to manage the warding magicians there. There are more rooms there.

So today is the first time I've lived alone in a while. .......

...... I feel restless.

I muttered to myself as I sat in the living room drinking tea.

I've been living alone in my original world, so I should be used to it. But now, for some reason, I feel restless.

I guess it's because I've always ...... had someone by my side since I came to this world.

Well, I'm supposed to have a guest today.

When I said that, I heard the presence of a person outside.

”Well, we're expecting another guest today.

”Your Majesty.” ”Sorry to keep you waiting.

I heard footsteps.

I turned around and saw two harpies standing in the doorway of the house.

”We've just returned from gathering information. It's Leroux! It's Leroy!

The two harpies stretched out their wings and bowed.

We've been waiting for you. We've been waiting for you.

”No, no, no.” ”For the king.

”Sit down first. I'll make you some tea.

I sat Leroy and Leroy in the chairs and went to the fireplace.

I've already boiled the water, but it's already cold. The wood fire is out too.

Well, what can I do?

”Dragon Seed Awakening!　”Dragon's roar!

”Ooooh!

”Ohhhh!

Leroy and Leroy shouted with joy.

I lit the wood with a flame of minimal power.

The dragon's roar can be adjusted by squeezing its mouth. The ”Dragon Seed Awakening” can be used for survival. It was originally designed for siege warfare, endurance warfare, and even cold-weather combat against the Enemy of the World. This ability.

...... I really wonder what kind of strong enemy I was going to fight. I was.

I waited for the water to boil and made a pot of tea.

I poured it into a long-mouthed bowl and mixed it with the pre-prepared water cooler.

Since harpies are clumsy, lukewarm tea is best to avoid burning their tongues.

There was also a ”chimaki” given to me by a villager of ....... It was filled with wild boar meat. Put it on a plate and say.

I'm sorry to ask the king to do that. I'm sorry, sir.

It's for your own dinner. Don't worry about it.

Don't underestimate the experience of a single woman living alone.

I'm a good cook. I don't mind cooking.

”Thank you for the .......

Leroy and Leroy pushed the bowl of tea with the tip of their wings.

You'll be able to get a lot more than just a cup of tea.

The Harpy's arms are wings, so he can't hold the bowl. They usually drink water by dipping their mouths directly into the river, but for official meals, they have proper manners.

...... I'm learning a lot.

”Then report back to me on the results of your reconnaissance. How was the Rikaku Kyoudan?

”Yes, sir. I've been watching their fortifications from a distance, as you ordered.

Rului, the long-haired harpy, said.

Their fort is on top of a small rocky hill. There are three locations.

From the ground, there is a narrow mountain path!

Leroy, the harpy with his hair tied behind his neck, said.

”There were tents on the ground, and about a hundred people lived in them.

I've been listening. The people on the ground were 'peasant soldiers' who had been forcibly dragged there. I heard there were about ten other big men holed up in the fort above.

I took a peek. There were creepy bugs around the people on the ground. I heard that they are controlled by the top brass, who are trying to scare the peasants into listening to them.

There was no sign of the cadres.

I think he's upstairs or out.

”That's all I have to report!

And with that, Leroy and Leroy bowed their heads.

”Please stroke my wings as a reward!

Yes, yes.

I stroked Leroy's and Lerui's wings after I had awakened them with my Shoshu Kakusei.

The two of them rubbed their cheeks together as if they were enjoying it.

”That's enough information. Thank you.

Their fortress is in the rocky mountains near the territory of the Kittle Patriarch.

There are three locations. There are peasant soldiers on the ground. They said the Order was raiding villages and burning them, so they must have been dragged here then. The peasants are obeying because they're frightened by insects controlled by the cult leaders. If they disobey, they will be eaten or killed.

And there are about ten leaders in the cult's stronghold.

The peasant soldiers can be controlled by the insects, so there is no need to stay near them. On the other hand, if you stay close to them, you might be attacked by angry peasants. I guess that's why you are hiding in the fort.

And I think there is an old magic circle in the fort to create a ward.

There's no need to capture the fort, but if you want to neutralize it for the duration of the investigation, you'll have to go to .......

I guess I'll have to get help from the ...... guys.

I'd be happy to... ......

Katan.

The cup of tea Loloi the Harpy was drinking nearly fell over.

”Oops.

I reached out to support the cup.

It's hard to drink with both hands on the wing.

”Be careful. Here.

I picked up the bowl and brought it to Loloi's mouth.

”......, my king.

Loloi looked at me, his puffy cheeks reddening.

Then he put his mouth on the bowl and began to sip.

”Wow. I think I'm going to spill some on Leroy. King. King.

”Yes, yes.

I'm starting to feel like I'm taking care of my sister.

That was a long time ago. That kind of thing.

”Uh, uh... King?
