229 Episode 229 "Sequelae and Countermeasures of" Loyalty Runaway "by Rita, and Mysterious Ritual".txt (1/2)

Rita's point of view...

It's not difficult for Rita, who has the ability to ”sense your presence,” to follow someone without being noticed.

So Rita kept her distance(kiri) and followed Yamazoe.

(It's harder to lose track of that guy than it is ......)

Rita nodded, looking at the back of Yamazoe in the distance.

He was very conspicuous in his silver armor with a slender sword at his waist. The armor reflected the sun and shimmered. He must be polishing his armor frequently.

I'm sure he's not the only one who's noticed.

It's not ideal for covert operations, but its armor may be able to intimidate opponents. It's like being a brave man.

It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

(──But I can't forgive her for looking down on Nagi.

Rita clearly remembered Yamazoe's line from earlier.

You were kicked out by the king, and you couldn't even become a hero. You were kicked out by the king, and you couldn't become a hero.

To be honest, I wanted to punch him in the face.

The reason why Rita didn't touch it is because Nagi stopped her.

Besides, boasting about her relationship with the king and her status as a brave man would not make Nagi envious.

Because neither of those things are of any value to Nagi.

What Nagi values is the carefree life with Cecil and Rita - her friends.

She aims for a life of leisurely slothfulness, a life of not working.

It's the opposite of a brave man working for honor and glory.

(But ...... you might not know that if you told that to that brave man.)

Rita wears a hood over her eyes, hiding her face. She always has a ”sea dragon mask” in her pocket to hide her true identity.

He is now in ”human mode” with his animal ears and tail covered.

Hiding her appearance and hiding her presence, Rita follows Yamazoe.

(I feel like I'm being helpful to Nagi when I do this.)

I'm kind of nervous.

Rita is now trying to use her skills to fulfill Nagi's wishes.

She's using herself for her master's sake.

I'm happy about that and for some reason my heart is racing.

(I ...... wonder if there's still 'Loyalty Runaway 《Over Loyalty》' left.

Loyalty Runaway──that is the aftereffect of being separated from Nagi. A slave who is too loyal is subjected to it, and when it occurs, the slave goes into 'full service mode'.

Because of that, Rita was all over Nagi this morning.

That's a good thing because it felt good, but - the feeling of that time still lingered in a deep part of my body.

It tingled.

My chest feels warm.

Your heart is beating underneath the palm of your hand.

I'm so happy that I'm doing Nagi's bidding at this very moment.

If the disease that had occurred in the port city of Ilgafa was 'Maounian deficiency disease', what Rita had was 'Master (Nagi) deficiency disease'.

I've replenished the Nagi component all morning, but it's still not enough.

I want to serve you. I want to serve you. I want to spend everything I have on Nagi - that's how I feel.

(No, no, no, if I do this, I'll go out of control again.)

Rita shook her head.

(I have to control myself properly. Even if I'm away from Nagi, I need to be able to be normal when we meet again.

(...... and how to do that.)

It is not always possible to be at a distance where True Consciousness Sharing (Mind Linkage True) can be understood.

In order to prevent ”Loyalty Runaway”, you need to be able to feel Nagi's presence even when you are far away.

For example, .......

(──Children?)

rustling sound

Before I knew it, Rita's palms had moved from her chest to her stomach.

(Nagi's child might be able to stay ...... away from me if she's inside me. ......)

This 'loyalty runaway' was caused by not being able to feel Nagi.

In other words, if you can always feel Nagi inside you, it won't become ”Loyalty Runaway”.

In order to do so, you have to beg Master (Nagi) to...

(Wah, wah, wah, wah!)

Your thoughts start to spin around in circles.

Once I realize those means, I can't stop.

Nagi's back when we took a bath together. The time when Nagi and I had done the 'reconstruction' many times. I thought of the time when we made the ”spirit link” and I felt like I was going to let out my tail. It made me want to go into beastman mode and flap my tail.

Rita's face turns bright red and her heart begins to pound.

(...... What do I do?)

If I ”begged” for those reasons, Nagi probably wouldn't say no.

Her life is now stable and she'll do what Rita wants.

Come to think of it, I don't know if there's still some 'dried meat from the Horned Serpent' left.

That should be preserved, so...

”Sent by: Nagi

Recipient: Rita.

Body: Rita. Are you okay?　You don't have to push yourself. Come back in moderation.

Moderate ......?

”Sent by Rita.

Recipient: Nagi

Body: No, it's not impossible. It's not impossible. It's not good to be moderate. I'll do my best. I'm going to do my best to fulfill my mission, and I'm going to make sure that I don't go out of control anymore, and I'm going to make sure that Nagi's door...

(────!)

Rita almost screamed, and Rita held her mouth in panic.

Her heart almost jumped out of her chest when she realized what message she was trying to send.

What she was trying to send was an incredibly embarrassing plea.

Rita looks around in a panic. None of the passersby are looking at us.

Rita was relieved to see the words ”Metecal Dungeon” in her field of vision. It's an information board for adventurers.

(...... Come to think of it, I remember when Cecil-chan confessed to Nagi that he wanted to have a child right after he came to this metecal.

(I realize I want Nagi's children when I come to this town, what if it works like that?)

I'm not going to be able to get rid of it.

The reason why she didn't send it is because she wanted to properly make a ”request” in front of Nagi's eyes.

Since it was important, in front of the master's eyes and with his face - with determination, Rita stopped.

Because she saw that the target of her tail stopped in front of the mansion at the end of the street.

It's the small mansion surrounded by walls that Yamazoe entered. There is a guard at the gate.

You're on high alert ......

Rita pulls herself together.

For now, the 'Loyalty Runaway' measures are on hold for now. In any case, she's connected to Nagi. There is no shortage of ”master ingredient”.

So, I have to focus on the mission - and while thinking that, Rita looked at the mansion at the end of the street.

''If it's the destination of the brave and vigilant ......, I wonder if a nobleman lives there.

There are many soldiers around the house.

They are patrolling around the nearby streets and alleys.

They seem to be trying to keep people away from the house.

Yamazoe is talking to someone from the other side of the gate.

If he gets a little closer, he might be able to hear the voice, but if he does, the soldiers will notice him. If they think he's suspicious, he's out.

(What would Nagi do in a situation like this: ......?)

A master who loves strategy would surely think of a good method.

And if he's a good slave, he should at least be able to trace his master's thoughts. Thinking that, Rita held her head in her hood.

(...... Oh, by the way, did Nagi tell her to use her alter ego?)

Rita quickly moves into the alley.

Making sure there are no people around, she activates her 'alter ego attack'. She creates her own alter ego.

There are two of them. The hood is deeply covered, and the face is set to be invisible.

Then, please.

Kok Kok Kok Kok.

The alter egos nodded towards Rita (the main body).

In the next moment, the alter egos all jumped out into the main street at once.

”...Mmph!

The soldiers guarding the mansion reacted.

Rita's alter ego's (Raphilia's direct) suspicious movements attracted the soldiers and changed course as soon as they looked at us.

We jumped into the opposite alleyway from where Rita (the main body) was.

'Wait!' That's a weird move, you weird dude!

That's it!

Rita sneaks in a gut punch.

She instructed her alter ego to draw the soldiers to her and disappear just in time.

This should buy us a few minutes of time.

(This is what I mean by ”use your alter ego”, isn't it? That's what I'm talking about, Nagi. It's a precise strategy.

Somehow, lately, I'm starting to understand what my master is thinking.

Glad for that, Rita holds her cheeks and laughs.

(Well, I have to gather information.)

Rita (the main body) listened carefully to the conversation between Yamazoe and the mysterious boy.

Soon, the voice that came out of the room...

...... The strongest hero, Yamazoe, returns... Talk to Count Kelvis. You're not going to tell me what to do, are you?
