51 Episode 51 "Extra Part 3" Ritas Wishes and "Summoning Slave" (Part 1) ".txt (2/2)

Of course it is. There's no way I'm a match for the Nagi.

Nai-kun is strong and cool.

Even when I was being attacked by the Leviathan, you came running to me.

It's nice. Ine doesn't see you fighting.

Oh, ...... sorry.

No, it's okay. It's okay. We're going to be together for a long time now, so you'll have your chance.

Right. Also, Aine is in charge of waking Nagi up tomorrow!

Are you sure?　Aine's a big sister.

Don't be so modest. It's an important role. Oh, by the way, Nagi was yesterday. ......

You?　Ditto's Ditto's ......

............

............

............

............

Before I knew it, we were talking about Nagi.

Huh?　Huh?

Rita held her forehead.

Rita and Aine's job was to shop and gather information. And analyzing that information.

And yet the topic of conversation has changed to your master. Strangely smooth, the flow of Rita and Aine's work. Or a brilliant coordination technique.

Rita and Aine can't help but look at each other and nod to each other.

I shouldn't. I can't fulfill my role like this. You have to get a grip.

Rita and Aine start to walk again.

The street is filled with the voices of vendors and customers haggling over their wares.

There are various stalls, but every shop is always decorated with a picture figure or doll of the ”Sea Dragon Kerkator”. The prosperity of this Irgapha is due to the blessing of the sea dragon. You can hear stories like that, and there is a lot of talk about the festival.

No one would think that the priestess of the festival and Nagi have an appointment to meet in the afternoon. My master is amazing, ehem - Rita can't help but puff out her chest.

After walking around the morning market for a while, the shopping is over and Rita and Aine start asking questions for the second time.

The place is a fish shop. One of the information they got while walking was that the fishermen are well versed in gossip.

Rita uses her sense of smell to determine if the fish is fresh or not, and Aine starts shopping at a stall that looks good.

When she has bargained down the price moderately, she casually moved on to gathering information.

''──Heh, is the ritual of the Sea Dragon festival held at the end of the peninsula?''

It's a good thing that there's a dungeon there. It was created when a sea dragon priestess and a brave man made a ”spirit link” and only the chosen ones can enter it. ......

The locals have a lot on their minds, don't they?

Yeah, that's right. My fishermen have seen an evil creature around the peninsula. I've heard that the lord's regulars have gathered nearby, so that's probably true. But that area is not easy to move around with a lot of people. ......

Don't worry. I'm sure the maiden will take care of it.

Well, yeah. Come on, girls, let's have some fun on the festival day. I hear even slaves get a day off for the festival.

'Yes. But I'm happier with my master.

After a quick stain on her cheeks, Aine put the fish she'd bought in her basket and moved away from the stall.

Rita put her face close to the basket and used her beastly sense of smell to check the freshness of the fish.

Yup. It's okay. Probably just landed. Nagi should be able to enjoy it from now on.

...... So, Aine, what did you think of what you just said?

...... The appearance of a demon at the location of the festive rituals might have something to do with Mr. Iris.

'...... It's not easy for little Iris, either. You're still so tiny.

...... I don't think there's a shortage of troops with the financial resources of the Ilgafa Lords family: ......

Even ...... said it was a hard place for regular soldiers to deploy.

I think I've got a request for the Adventurers' Guild.

'But Nagi hasn't signed up for the guild over here yet, has she?

'It's hard to do when I have to deal with the Order of Divine Life.

I'm glad you gave me the information on the fisherman.

I'm putting these fish to good use.

'I think Nagi likes to eat fish. I remember meeting her in a village that was famous for its fish.

He said he lived in an island country with lots of fish.

'Nagi's hometown, huh? I'd like to see it, even just once. I'd like to breathe the same air as Nagi.

Aine feels the same way. Nah-kun doesn't seem to like his hometown, but I want to thank you for bringing Nah-kun into the world.

'Yeah. It's the place that raised the nagi.

And the new home will be made by Aine and her friends, right?

”Good point, Aine. Yeah, I know. You're right. We have to make Nagi happy.

Rita: ”Rita: ......

Aine: ......

Facing each other, gingerly, they held each other's hands.

'Let's do our best.' 'I'll do my best,'

”For me... (Aine) For our master!

............

............

............

............

How come we're talking about Nagi (Nah-kun) again?

Rita held her head in her hands.

Something's wrong. Something is wrong.

We're just talking normally, but before I knew it, she started talking about Nagi.

I wasn't consciously aware of it. It was unconsciousness.

I couldn't help but blush. Why?

...... Why do I always think about Nagi all the time? ......

If you look at the clothing stalls, you can say, ”What kind of clothes would you wear to tell me I look good? If you look at the ornaments shop, you'll see what it feels like to wear a matching ring, if you look at the meat stall, you'll see that Nagi likes wild boar meat. What are you thinking in the morning?

My master is too amazing. He doesn't even use the coercive power of the ring, and yet he's completely tied up his slave. This isn't fair. But Rita doesn't like it. She doesn't hate it, which makes it even more unfair.

'Could it be that Nagi has a hidden skill ......?

It's the one!

I'm not sure I'll be able to find the right one.

I'm not going to be able to get it right. I've got a new skill, 'Slave Summoning (Samoning Slave) Lv 1'.

...... That's it!

During breakfast, Nagi told us all about it.

When she and her new companion, Rafilia, rebuilt the ”Skill Structure”, the skill that was created was ”Slave Summoning Level 1”. Apparently, it's something that summons a slave under a master-slave contract, no questions asked.

When Nagi uses this skill, the slaves will know where he is. Then the slave has to rush to Nagi's place by Ichimoku.

But don't worry, I won't use it except in an emergency. 'I promise,' he said.

'We think about Nagi so much because of ......

It must be because Nay-kun is using 'Slave Summoning Lv 1' to call Aine and the others.

Aine!

Mr. Rita!

I can't stay this way.

Rita took the shopping cart from Aine and put it in her mouth. Then she carried Aine's body on her back. It's heavier than Cecil's, but not enough to interfere with Rita's movements. Nagi is calling me. It must be. Because both Rita and Aine can't help but be curious about Nagi.

What they are doing now, what kind of food they want to have today, how they feel about the two of them.

In other words, this must be Nagi using 'Slave Summoning Lv 1'.

''Let's go, Aine. Hold on tight!

You can go ahead. Go on, Miss Rita!

With Aine on her back, Rita starts running at full speed.

Weaving through the crowds, through the main street--

Nagi...

Pushing open the door of the house, Rita braked on the front porch. She spun around three times in a momentum-shortened spin.

Holding Aine back as she nearly blew up, Rita looked around.

She entered through the front door, at the bottom of the stairs.

Cecil and Rafilia were sitting there.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.

They were looking up at the second floor and turned at the same time.

Cecil is clinging to the stair railing and Raphilia has her cheekbones on the steps.

'...... What are you doing, both of you?'

Rita couldn't help but ask as she handed Aine the shopping cart.

They're both staring upstairs where Nagi is, like puppies waiting for their master to return.

'Listen, Rita-san,'

Cecil looked curiously serious.

I was just cleaning up with Rafilia-san.

But it's hard to concentrate.

Cecil and Raphilia looked at each other, and then, as if they were breathing together

I can't help but wonder about Nagi-sama (Master) upstairs!

I declared such a thing to Rita.

'Go to ...................'

A cold sweat ran down Rita's forehead.

I wonder. It was like the same thing had happened somewhere else.

'Heh, not, Rita!　We're serious!

Cecil puffs out his cheeks and comes over to Rita.

'You worked late last night as well, so I was wondering if you were tired. I would like to make you a cup of tea, but I don't want to bother you. Is there anything I can do to help you?

...... Cecil,

I'm always looking for something to do, but I don't know what I can do. I'm always looking for what I can do, but I don't know what I can do and I'm ...... hazy. It's a mystery. I don't know how I can care so much about Nagi-sama just by living in the house with her. ......

Cecil held his chest sadly.

Rita couldn't help but choke on her words.

I understand that feeling. I understand it very well. I know, but wait a minute, Cecil-chan!

But Cecil decided to hold Rafilia's hand next to her and...

'So, after discussing it with Mr. Rafilia: ......

I've come to the conclusion that it's because of your master's skills, sir.

Mmm, Cecil and Rafilia raise their linked hands.

''That's right!　I think the reason we think so much about Nagi-sama is because she calls us by 'slave summoning LV1': ...... What do you think, Rita-san?

I'd like to hear from you, too, Rita, if you have any suggestions.

Cecil and Rafilia, two fellow slaves, reacted too earnestly to Rita's reaction.

........................... .............................. .............................. ............... eh.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead and took a deep breath.

'Um. Um, you know.

Calm your mind. You're going to look at yourself from before, and you're going to turn bright red.

.................. I think you both need to chill out...

Turn to the side and put yourself on the shelf for now.

Rita replied, holding her wagging tail behind her back with her hand.
