216 Episode 216 "Request to the Saint and the Form of the Saints Wish".txt (2/2)

”I just need you to bring Cecil-kun to me.

The saint said.

'It's hard to work alone. I need her help with my magic.'

'Okay. I'll check with him, but I'm sure he'll be fine.

''Cecil-kun, in addition to helping me make a golem, I have one other favor to ask of you.

The saint looked down for a moment and then

'...... I want her to carry on the skills and knowledge of Ms. Delilira,'

............ skills and knowledge?

'You see, Delilira, you don't know how long you're going to be in this world. She wants to pass on her skills and knowledge to the next generation. She looks a lot like the demon Aristia, and she would be a perfect fit. Can I ask her to do that?''

I just got a message back saying it's okay.

”I see. Good.

My Lady.

What is it? Nagi-kun.

I hope you live long enough.

”Delilira, you're already dead!

'I'm sorry, I made a mistake. Please stay in this world until you're comfortable.

I said.

'My saint is my dearest friend in this world. Someone who knows our secrets and still gets along with us is precious to me. So, if you can, ...... you can stay with me forever.

”Hmmm... You won't get paid for saying that!

Your Highness. My face is all red.

'Nah, my God. I can't believe you can make a golem with such a rich expression: ....... This would make your ancestors happy!　I'm going to do my best to be useful to you, too!

”...... Hmmm.

The saint turned to the side.

Raphilia clapped her hands and Lila is touched.

Really, the saint is very important to us. If we could, we'd like to ...... be with you forever.

The third thing I would like to ask. Will you ask me to run an errand for you?

That's fine. Who and what do you want me to deliver?

”To Letitia-kun. ”I want you to give this sword and shield to Letitia-kun.

The golem saint waved her hand.

A voice called out from the depths of the labyrinth, 'Koto Koto,' and the work golems came over.

I've actually been making armor for Letitia-kun for some time now. This was finally completed.

Is this the magic item you've been working on?

'That's right. Delilira-san's masterpiece.

What the working golems brought with them was a slender sword and a circular shield (round shield).

The slender sword has a mesh at the grip, perhaps to reduce the weight of the sword. The round shield has a chain on it. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it.

Of course, you can give them to me. But why is this for Letitia?

''Look, Rita-kun and Leticia-kun easily broke through the small-group labyrinth before, remember?

I see you have .......

As I recall, it was shortly before we fought The Sleeping Goblin.

I came to introduce Letitia to the Saintess, and that's when Rita and Letitia challenged the new labyrinth.

'At that time, Delilira-san was very frustrated when the labyrinth was captured so quickly. Then I thought of something. If you regret being attacked, you shouldn't regret being attacked.

The saintly lady gulped and clenched her fists.

She was a golem on the outside, but she had a very serious expression on her face.

''What do you mean by ......? ''Saintess.''

'It's simple. If Delilira-san strengthens Letitia-kun, even if he breaks through the labyrinth, it's still Delilira-san's fault, isn't it!　I've broken through myself, I don't regret it!'

............ Yes?

I'm sorry, Your Holiness. I'm not sure.

”See? Nagi-kun's party uses a lot of incompetent skills.　If the labyrinth is broken through with that inquisitive skill, that means you've lost to Nagi-kun. But if you broke through the labyrinth with the armor that Delilira-san gave you, ...... then wouldn't you be ...... regretful?''

Okay. I see.

By the way, the reason I chose Leticia-kun is because Rita-kun doesn't use any armor. And the only person who isn't Nagi's slave is Leticia.

That's what I'm talking about. You're looking at it right. Saint.

''If you're giving Leticia some armor, I'd be happy too.

'Besides, Miss Delilira likes her. For a nobleman, there's no need for bravado, is there?　She's also full of justice. Mr. Delilira thinks that someone like her should be the king.'

That's funny. Me too.

Yeah.

Of course.

I think so, too.

'I'm not sure about myself. If the saint says so.

Me, Saintess, Raphilia and Lila-san nod to each other.

Besides, Leticia has a tendency to go into danger on her own.

There's a limit to how much I can strengthen Leticia, who isn't under a master-slave contract.

If the saint gives you a sword and shield, you can rest assured.

''I understand. I will take responsibility for this sword and shield and deliver them to Leticia.

Thank you. You'll see what happens when you use it.

But is that how you want to be paid?　I don't think it's benefiting the saints at all: ......?

My request was to borrow a golem to hold Uriella-Grace's soul.

In response, the Saintess said she would make a special vessel for me.

My reward is to have Cecil and Raphilia help me and deliver the item to Leticia.

...... It's to our advantage after all.

''As for me, I'd like to do what the saintly lady wants me to do,''

I'll owe you that.

The saint chuckled.

''And you know what, this is also a good enough reward, right?

...... Really?

'Delilira-san leaves behind a living testimony of herself through Cecil and Rafilia-kun. Not as a role-bound saint, but just as Delilira-san. That's not a benefit, that's what. Hmph.''

Saying that, the saintly lady stretched her chest.

I'm not even close to .......

It seems like you think you're losing to us, but we're no match for you, either.

In the end, that's how we are balanced with Saint Saint Mary's.

My Lady.

Yes, Nagi.

Everyone at the foot of the mountain has contacted us. We've laid out a picnic sheet and made a cup of tea, and they'd like to invite Our Lady to come too. I know she won't be able to drink, but just to feel better.

”Great. I'm gonna buy you a drink every now and then.

So, we came down the mountain...

We spent a moment of carefree tea time.

I'll take care of Cecil, Rafilia and Laila. I'll take care of Cecil, Rafilia and Laila-kun.

Take good care of Cecil and the others.

Thank you for coming to tea with me, saint.

Please take care of my master.

We'll be back.

After tea time was over, we left the saints.

For a while, we separated from Cecil and Rafilia.

And then we were back on Lord Death's chariot, heading for the port of our retreat.

Kasheen, shakin', shita-tah!

”Wait a minute. Isn't that awesome!　I didn't hear it was that great of an item!

「「「「 So excuse me then!　Saints! 」」」」

”Fast!　Unbelievably fast!　That's a challenge for you, Delilira!　OK. I'll accept it. ────!

The voice of the saintly lady is moving away.

Leaving the driving to Lord Death, me, Aine, Iris and Cutlass wave to Cecil and the others.

As it is, we are once again at the 'retreat Mishlila'.

After spending two nights at the villa, the next morning we returned to the port city of Ilgafa.

...... Oh?　I have a letter from my father, sir.

When I returned to Ilgafa's house, I found a small piece of parchment tucked under the door.

It was addressed to Iris. The sender is the lord of Irgafa - Iris's father.

”May I see you for a moment, brother?

Okay. I want to thank you for giving me a lift too.

All right. I'll come with you.

Leaving the house to Aine and Cutlass, me and Iris headed to the Ilgafa lord's house.

''Oh!　You're back. Iris. And you, my brave sea dragon.

I'm back. Father.

'Thank you for sending the ship out. My lord.

This is the parlor of the Ilgafa lord's house.

Iris and I are facing the Ilgafa lord house across the table.

''I understand you have a request for Iris, what is it?

...... No, I actually had business with Iris and Lady 'Sea Dragon Hero'. Just in time.

The lord had a slightly blue face.

What is it? I wonder if there was another problem related to a brave man.

”I would like to ask Iris and 'Sea Dragon Hero' to visit you: ......

Yes. Father.” ”Yes, sir?

Have you heard about the strange disease that is prevalent in the commercial city of Metekal from 'Kerkator the Sea Dragon'?

...... strange disease?

No, ...... separately, ”Sea Dragon Kerkator” didn't say that.

The Saintess didn't say that the disease was prevalent either. Saintess, I'm a specialist.

''What exactly do you mean by a strange disease?''

I've never seen one of these, but I've seen them, and when they come into contact with them, they just lash out...

Suddenly, there was a loud noise.

Outside the window. It's from the town.

At the same time, I can also hear people screaming.

''My lord!　Oh, my God!　I think we may have contracted the freak disease...

What?

'Look out the window!　The streets of the city...

Me, Iris, and the lord rushed to the window.

Here, the Irgafa Lordship is on high ground. From here, we could look down on the town.

There were screams in the main street of the town. The town's main street, usually lined with stalls, where someone was standing with a weapon. The guards and the people of the town are looking at it from a distance.

I wonder.

It's a strange feeling. That person with the weapon is a strange disease──?

Do you want a demon king?

The man shouted.

''Do you want the Demon King and his minions?　The Demon King's army is gone!

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

””...... nannyare”

'I do not understand. I'm told that there are a number of people in the Metecal area who are suddenly making the same kind of noises and going wild.

The lord said and shook his head.

'I don't know what caused it. Just .......

”Just?

The men from Metecar say that over there they call it 'Demon King Deficiency Syndrome'.

...... 'Demon King Deficiency Disease'.

It's a disease that is not highly contagious, but those who are infected with it lash out ...... and are in trouble. I was wondering if you know anything about it, ”Hero of the Sea Dragon” ......

The lord said that with a slump of his shoulders.
