242 Episode 242 "Preparation for" Mysterious Fortified City Exploration Plan "and Cheat Daughter-in-laws Story".txt (2/2)

It's been a long time since we've been to the Adventurer's Guild.

We were looking for a request for the 'Commercial Guild' on the quest board.

''It's nice to do some normal work once in a while.

Yeah. It'll be fun.

”I guess not.

Me, Aine and Reggie are looking up at the quest board.

By the way, White is resting in his luggage.

''There it is. It looks like this is the only request for the 'Commercial Guild'.

And then Aine pointed to this...

''Chimera Extermination.'' The clients are the 'Merchants Guild' and the 'Innkeepers Guild' of the ...... 'Recreational Area Michelia'?

It's like a place in the woods in the west. There is a stray chimera that lives there and sometimes appears on the roads, and they want you to exterminate it.

'Surely this will be an achievement for the guild?

...... The problem is safety.

Aine clammed up.

It's an achievement. It doesn't take long.

But it seems that it's not very safe.

The enemy is a chimera──that is, an artificially created synthetic-type demon.

The request form on the quest board says it's a synthetic creature (chimera) from 'Goat, Lion and Cow'.

The problem is that we don't know how strong it is, but...

Don't worry. If I have to, I'll have Cecil's magic burn the whole forest to the ground.

”That's my lord!

You can't!　Nah-kun and Leggy-chan, calm down!

”'Eh,'

If we burn down the entire forest, we'll have to report it to the Adventurer's Guild!

That's right.

I've been doing a lot of dark moves lately to avoid being seen, so I forgot about it.

Since you're reporting to the Adventurer's Guild, you have to do your job like a normal adventurer. ......

''All right. I'll figure out a good way to do it.

...... Nah, that's what you say, so I believe you.

Let's ask for more information about the Chimera before we accept the quest. Then we'll decide whether or not to accept the quest. If I don't think it's possible, I'll stop.

I think it's a good idea.

Well, I'll just go to the receptionist and ask him...

With that in mind, I looked at the guild's reception desk - it was insanely crowded.

To be precise, a group of several people surrounded the receptionist and were shouting.

''We!　A new quest has been ordered for the evolution of the world: 」」」」

No. You see, ...... you don't have to announce your quest orders out loud...

””This may be a small step. But from this day forward, the world will certainly change!

You're all freaking out. Be quiet. Hey, hey?

””For now, people won't even notice the changes we're bringing. But they will know. This was just the beginning!

'You guys have had a lot of quests, haven't you?　One step, nothing, you're already ten steps ahead of me!

””Come on. Come on, my friends!

Holding up the order form, they turned their backs to the receptionist.

'If a powerful demon appears, call us.

We are the Neos Family, a new generation of adventurers.

I'm from a world other than this one. I'm the hero's favorite disciple.

The adventurers left the guild after uttering a line that sounded like that.

It's cool.

It's cool, but...

'From a World Not Here, the Brave and Beloved Disciple of the Brave' ......?

Don't tell me you're a 'visitor'?

Is he ”The Brave Man's Favorite Disciple” - or is he ”The Visitor's Favorite Disciple”?

Maybe a visitor is teaching an adventurer somewhere: ......?

How is that possible: ......?

Most of the visitors I've met so far were hired by the nobles to become heroes.

They didn't seem to be good at teaching people. ......

''No. Is it dangerous to judge them so quickly?''

It's also possible that The Brave Apprentice is just a bluff.

We just came to the Adventurer's Guild and met some strange adventurers.

That's all we have for now.

I'm just curious about .......

''Let's gather some information about the current people in the guild for now. Aine.

.......

Aine?

What?　Hey, Hey-kun.

When I called out to her, with a jolt, Aine jumped up.

Before I knew it, Aine had turned her back around and was staring into her luggage.

'What's wrong Aine?'

'Nah, it's nothing. I heard the words 'brave beloved disciple of the brave', so Aine was curious about it, too: ...... so.

From inside the luggage, White in Little Tenryu mode is peeking out.

I see, so Aine was talking to Shiro.

''I was curious about 'the hero's favorite disciple' and that's why you were talking to White?

'Yes. I wondered to White if those people were really related to the brave people. I'm not sure if they are strong. I was asking her if she could find out how strong their magic is or something like that .......

Yeah. Thanks, Aine.

'Uh-uh!　Oh, don't thank me. I've found out something else.

The other thing?　Does the evolved White still have some special ability?

'You know what? That's ......'

White looked out of his luggage, looked at Aine for some reason, then

”...the ability to measure strength...” (・・・・・)

Okay.

”I'm sorry. Dad.

That's fine. Okay, let's go to the guild and gather information.

Yes, yes, yes.

”Yes, sir. Hey, Dad.

”Hmm. Well, then, I'll be quietly listening in.

Then we gathered information about a chimera that had appeared near the resort.

Just to be sure, he had also heard rumors about the 'Neos Family' who claimed to be the 'Hero's Beloved Disciple'.

And so, that night.

I'm not sure what to say. I'm in trouble.

What's going on? Mr. Aine.

What's the matter with you, seriously?

I need to talk to you about something important: ...... where are Iris and Raphilia and Mr. Cutlass?

Lady Iris and Mr. Rafilia have gone to the House of Lords.

'Cutlass is talking to Nagi. I'll go get him.

Wait, ...... you don't have to invite me over if I'm with you.

'Yes. I can't let you interfere with your master.

Not so: ......

Aine keeps her voice down.

She must have realized that it's not just a matter of time.

Cecil and Rita also listen to Aine's words with a serious look on their faces.

''Actually, today I found out about Shiro-chan's new ability.

Is this Mr. White's skill?

”You mean you're going to have Nagi 'rebuild' you?

'It's not. I don't think it can be 'reconstructed' because it's like the super-sense of a celestial dragon. Good ...... listen carefully.

Aine sighs and takes a deep breath.

Cecil and Rita are also listening to the story under their breath.

Then Aine says a few words.

”It is said that Shiro-chan can see the flow of life because he is a celestial dragon.

The flow of life, sir.

Life force and all that?

It's true. I mean, White said...

Aine pauses for a breath and then tells her.

'It means that if Aine and her friends have children, they'll be ready to jump right in!

Ha!

Cecil and Rita shouted.

Aine put a finger to her lips and murmured, ”Shh,

She nodded towards Cecil and Rita, who pressed their mouths together.

That's the way it is (・・・・・・).

Yeah, and what about now?

What did you say, White?

...... not yet,

But we'll know soon enough when we have children, won't we?

Cecil gulped and clenched his fists.

I understand. I will do my best to give the future of the demon race, no, I will do my best to give a new family to Nagi-sama.

'Yeah, right. This ...... is a test of my resolve, isn't it? The Nagi and I are going to get to the point where I'm going to have to tell people about the... you know...

Cecil, calm down!　I'm all red in the face. Rita, you can't mess around with the table!　If a whisper gets stuck in Nai-kun's hand, we're in trouble!

Aine, you're the one who's so calm.

'Yes. As for the child with Nagi-sama, Aine must have been most concerned about it: ......

Because Aine sees this as an opportunity.

Aine mumbled with a placating smile.

'If you ask White, you'll know right away that you're having a child, right?　Then I can prepare myself and have what I need. I think it's great that Shiro-chan is developing those skills.

Mr. Aine: ......

'Aine, awesome ......'

And when you find out that someone at the party is having a baby, you can easily ask your master for a little brother or sister.

...?

When it comes to parenting, Aine is very confident. One and two are the same. No. On the contrary, it's nice to have a lot of noise. Children have more time to play with their brothers and sisters. Mothers can talk to their mothers about their problems, and it's okay if one of them isn't producing enough milk. Besides, everyone else will be more prepared for the future.

And so Aine's passionate talk continued for a while...

So, I think this is a good chance for you to get to know White and....　Mr. Cecil. Miss Rita?

”...... (pop).

Cecil and Rita sit down with a bright red face, as if the heat has been applied to them.

Aine realizes that she's gotten carried away and talked too much, so she holds her mouth down.

But Cecil and Rita shake their heads and stand up.

They both hold Aine's hand at the same time, with their faces and skin up in the air.

''Wow, I understand. What you want to say, Aine, is, wow, I get it, from .......

I'll try. I'll try my best. I'll try my best.

Oh, yeah. We can do it. Cecil, Rita.

Gasp.

Holding hands and nodding to each other, Cecil, Rita and Aine.

Furthermore, the three of them are whispering and discussing their plans for the future.

There are many opportunities.

From now on, the party will go to defeat the Chimera.

After that, we'll travel to the Academy for the Quest for Magic. If we are lucky enough to find the ”Magic Power of the Previous Heavenly Dragon”, Master (Nagi) will be pleased. That's where I propose a celebration party. When the festivities have turned into a celebration and you've loosened your mind - with everyone. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. If that's the case, let's have an advance celebration before we leave. But that might make Master (Nagi) feel suspicious, anyway, so let's do it naturally without Master noticing .............

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

.......

Thus, Cecil, Rita, and Aine's consultations lasted until late at night──.

Next morning.

'Oh, oh, hi, hi. Nagihyama.

It's a good morning. Nagy.

............ (soooo) half-closed eyes and cooking.

What the hell happened to Cecil, Rita and Aine?

The next morning, they are going to surprise their master (Nagi).
