70 Episode 70 "Slave Girls Use of Paid Leave".txt (2/2)

I see. So you've moved to dispose of the golem that Eterina-Harsburg left behind?

You react quickly. As expected of a lord.

''The Ilgafa lord's family is also going through a lot of things, such as the maiden no longer being needed, or Noel-sama getting sick.

Well, not for the rest of us mere mortals.

'You can't be so unambitious!

With a start, the sister pointed somehow to the sky.

The Guild of Adventurers is in need of a hero to save the world. Join us and become a top-notch adventurer. No, we're actually short of people. Ilgafa's reputation is booming thanks to the appearance of the sea dragons, and there is a lot of stuff coming into the harbor!　I'm in need of a caravan escort. Please, join and help me now.

No, we're off today.

Oh no!

The sister collapsed on the sly.

''I'll give you a five percent discount on the guild's share now!　If you take this quest, I'll take you from Class C to Class B in one fell swoop, and once you get to Class A, I'll come up with a system that gives you 1.5 times the reward. So!

”You're actually a member of the Knights of Divine Life!　I haven't come out of my mind!

Apparently those guys' claw marks were surprisingly large.

I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what I'm talking about. I'm not sure if she flinched under the dark elf's apparent gaze, but the sister, with a forlorn look on her face, went back to the reception desk. But she seems to have regained her composure and is talking to the next people who come in. I hope I can find a good partner eventually.

''It would be nice if there was some magic armor slaying or gargoyle subduing or something.

Cecil murmured ruefully as he looked at the quest board next to me.

'I've got a new magic to use, so I wanted to try it out.

The trump card for magical creatures, right?

Yes, sir.

Cecil nodded with an excited look on her face.

She'd always been concerned that she'd had trouble fighting the ice golem in the sea dragon dungeon. She said that since she was in charge of magic, she was responsible for taking out anything that worked with magic. I don't want Nagi-sama and Rita-san to do anything dangerous - I don't care about them.

I don't have to worry about it.

It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get your hands on it. That's enough.

”Cecil wise.

I put my hand on Cecil's head with a plop.

Cecil is looking up at me with a ticklish look on his face.

'Well, as a reward, I'm going to go with Cecil from now on to see where he wants to go.

Okay, it's all part of the plan.

That was the plan all along.

”What?　Oh, yes. Wait, wait, wait... Nagi-sama!

Cecil bows to me with a surprised look on his face.

As it is, I walk out of the guild building, backing away. I look up at the sky on the sunlit path and look at my feet - are you checking the position of the sun and shadows?　Why?

Oh, he's back. Waving his arms around. She's cute as a little animal.

”Wow, okay. It's a little early in the day for me. ......

Are you early?

No, it's nothing. I've got an idea of where I want to go. Uh, um.

Cecil held his cherry-red lips with a finger and nodded his head.

Then he runs over to the 'Map of the Irgafa Neighborhood' on the wall of the guild. I'm trying to point to a point on the map - but I can't reach it. ''Hmmm, hmmm! You're growing so tall. That's cute.

Here?

I pointed to the extension of Cecil's fingers.

Cecil stood on his tiptoes, shaking and shaking, and nodded, ”Ha, yes.

That place on the map was 'Knot Hill'.

It was a monument on a high plateau near Ilgafa - less than an hour's walk from here.

''That's where the sea dragon child and the sea dragon brave met for the first time,'' she said. I wanted to go there just once ...... with Nagi-sama, but ...... is okay, right?

Okay.

Originally, I was going to respond to Cecil's request today.

That's why I'm not going to say no. You don't have to make that desperate face and have your eyes glaze over. Cecil.

The Knot Hill is located outside the walls of the port city of Ilgafa.

Since it's so close to the town, demons rarely come out. When they do, it's at night. And it's only low-level guys.

That's why it's said to be a tourist attraction for the residents who are skilled enough to look down on the sea. However, everyone is busy cleaning up after the festival today, so it might be free ...... said the guild sister.

We left the town and walked up the hill a bit off the city road.

Cecil, walking next to me, has a nervous look on his face for some reason.

When I spoke to her, she said, ”What is it, Nagi-sama? No, I'm not hiding it. I'm not hiding anything! No, you can't. You can't use ”Shared Consciousness Lv 1”. No, if Nagi-sama insists on it, you can go to ...... and frown to yourself.

It's obvious that he's hiding something, but it's okay because it's fun to watch .......

We climbed up the hill and arrived at Knot Hill, which overlooks the ocean and the port city.

There were a few people ahead of us. Even though they are busy cleaning up after the festival, it seems that some of them are on vacation.

For example, there's a beastly girl laying a rug on the grass and preparing it with her hands.

Or a maid who boils water in a stone hearth and prepares a cup of tea.

For example, with the elf girl who is cutting bread out of a basket into six equal portions.

For example, with a girl of grade school age who had nothing to do, or was at a loss, wandering between those four people.

It looked like they were all getting ready for a picnic.

The four of them - Rita, Aine, Raphilia, and Iris.

They were so focused on their work that they didn't notice us.

...... I see.

”...... Heh.

Cecil has a somewhat troubled look on his face.

If you think about it, there was no way Cecil would have thought of doing an escort mission on his own for fun just because he won in the 'Peaceful Win-Loss Decision Method (rock-paper-scissors)'. I guess they all planned it yesterday. Today, the whole party was going to have a picnic together. You were going to take advantage of the timing and say to me, ”Let's eat lunch here.

I mean, you should have said so. What were you going to do if I said no: ......?

And you didn't have to hide it.

Because, Nagi-sama, if I told you in advance, you'd say, 'I'm on vacation.

Cecil looks at me with his index finger pinching together.

I'm sure you've given him some free time as a master.

'Yes, sir. So we have decided to do what we want to do, as our master wished.

...... mattock anymore.

A quick one.

”............ Heh.

In the end, there was no way I could say anything to Cecil, who was barking at me with a tearful face...

All I could do was pat Cecil on the head.

............ I'll explain the proper use of paid leave to everyone later.

''Oh, it's Nagi and Cecil-chan...''

Rita noticed us and waved her hand.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that it's not a bad idea to have a good time. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. I'm sure Iris's strategy won.

Aine and Rafilia raised their voices and Iris nodded with a scowl. No, because the operation did not succeed. It was all too obvious.

The kettle is just above the fireplace, the kettle spits out steam, and the preparation of an early lunch is over...

Me and Cecil were just about to join the others when suddenly...

GUAGYAAAAAGAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA────!!!

'Ta, save me──────!　UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

The sound of scraping metal together from the street, the sound of footsteps dragging something wet and...

The screams of someone I didn't know rang out.
