101 Episode 101: Luclion is the scent of the reflection meeting.txt (1/2)

Our job this time was to buy time for Shamash's arrival.

So, now that Shamash-san had come and sealed off the tunnels, there was nothing more to do.

The damage situation was limited to a local warrior who was lightly wounded by a goblin.

Considering that it was a sudden mass gush, it could be said that it was only minor. Well, it's a world where monsters spring up on a daily basis, and it's the result of all the residents having a decent sense of danger at the very least.

Marco's sister might have been in trouble if we hadn't gotten there in time (and there were rock-throwing orcs), but we were able to save her as a result.

So the next time we do this--.

Now let's begin the first Knights of Artemis review meeting. Click, click, click.

That's why.

We'll make the most of it in the future based on our reflections.

At the moment, we are all gathered near the entrance waiting for Shamash-san to come and seal off the tunnel, and the members are me, Deanna, Marina, Rebecca, Elepippi, Etwa, Grand Master, current Master, and Aeon.

'Master!　For that matter, what was that familiar-looking woman who looked so familiar earlier!

I am a demon. We are upwardly compatible.

Jiro, what's going on?

Deanna, Marina, and Rebecca come crowding in.

It seems that Shamash-san's impact won out over the remarks.

Apparently, I'll have to explain!　It's not my fault!

Uh, I don't know where to begin. ......

For now, we need to start talking about Shamash-san's relationship with Aeon-san, but I'm not sure what the story is about.

I don't think it's okay to talk about Aeon-san being the former princess of the empire or the former third in line of succession to the imperial throne, but I also think it's safe to trust the members we have now. It shouldn't be like they're going to pee their pants.

Either way, if we're going to hide ...... Aeon, we have to share the information with him.

”Grand master, can you give us a quick explanation of ...... ion-san while we're in the mine?

I'll ask him about it.

While I was waiting with Deanna and Etowah in front of the tunnel, they may have given me a rundown of what happened.

”No, I didn't. It's too much for me to handle, I'll leave it to you.

Of course.

I'll have to explain it to her.

Aeon-san looks uncomfortable with her hood over her eyes, rubbing her hands together.

A glimpse of a prison pattern can be seen, but none of my children pointed it out.

They seem to be concerned about it, but no one calls out to Ms. Aeon, and an indescribable sense of uncomfortableness is in the air.

We didn't want to be heard, so we all moved to a secluded place.

The grand master thoughtfully left the current master on guard at the tunnel.

The fewer people who know about the situation, the better. It's not that I don't trust the current master.

But now, .......

I really don't know where to start.

No, ...... doesn't need to know the details. Let's get straight to the point.

”Aeon-san, can you take off the hood? It's okay if I give you a peek.

The gist of this story is Mr. Aeon's prison crests. I can't start without showing it.

Aeon-san showed some hesitation at my request, but slowly took off her hood and showed me her face.

'Hee......'

Someone gulps.

Aeon's clear, light blue hair, and the prison crests slumping over Madara are exposed.

Her bright red eyes are downcast, her lips are drawn back, and she hugs her arms uncomfortably.

Well, yeah.

For what it's worth, it's a group of people I'm not even sure I can trust, and I don't have Shamash-san to rely on.

Here's where I say, ”Wow, Hellmonger!　Engacho! And I'm sure he's about to think it's possible for him to develop a cotensure with all of us. ......

I'm sure he trusts me and the big master, but he's just a stranger I just met.

''Aeon-san, you don't have to be so nervous. I won't make you look bad.

I put my hand on Aeon's trembling shoulder.

Oops, was I too comfortable with a stiff princess partner?

But while I was bullish when I was with Mr. Shamash, now I'm a borrowed cat myself.

It's called a shyster's speech.

”Well, to put it simply, this Aeon who owns a prison crest and the demon tribe from earlier are living together. In exchange for the 5 spirit stones to exorcise Aeon's evil designs, that demon tribe will become my slave!　Furthermore, for various reasons, Aeon-san may have to hide her in our home after getting her prison crests!　Maru!

Yes, I said it!

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

They all shushed each of them with mixed expressions.

Yeah .......

That's right, I should have just gone to ask the demon tribe to fix my sword, but I can't believe I'm in this situation. ......

Life is so strange.

But frankly speaking, I don't intend to ”do without” anymore.

I've already felt sorry for him emotionally, but it's more because Shamash-san's war chest is too stubborn.

I'm sorry to say that Marina is working hard to protect me, but Shamash's presence makes it much easier to cross the dangerous bridge, and it's clear that business will be easier.

Until now, you've only done business by banging on stone bridges.

'...... master. May I have a word?

It was Deanna who opened her mouth first.

'Yes, go ahead,'

''You mean to say that the demon tribe that rode the bird earlier was welcomed as a slave ...... right?　So you will live with us in our mansions - and that means you will live with us?　This is Mr. Aeon?　Too?

That's what the focus is going to be on, isn't it?

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with it, because being a slave means you're going to be your own person.

............ I can't live with the demon race. I'm still an elf.

Rejection rather clearly.

I guess we're incompatible after all.

Well, we have tribal affinity, that's fine. It's not that I'm forcing you to live with me. The fact that Shamash-san becomes my slave is not in itself objectionable, is it?

It's not a matter for me to quibble with, nor is it ......

Deanna says monotonously, toothlessly.

Maybe she really wants to complain.

He even called her ”that familiar woman” earlier.

'You're not angry?　Master.

You say that with an upward glance.

You may think I'm being inappropriate, but I'm not that much of a one-man show.

The people I've been working with are more important.

I'm not mad at you, Deanna. I thought you'd have more of a problem with it.

You can't disagree: ....... But,

He drops one voice tone.

'Are you sure about ......?　Master. Prison crests are a sign of a criminal, shouldn't they be exorcised so easily?

I whispered in my ear so that Mr. Aeon wouldn't hear me.

It's certainly natural to think so if you don't know the situation.

When you think about it, the set of the demon tribe to the Hellmonger is picture-intense.

...... Well, we'll talk about that situation later.

I understand.

For now, it seems that Diana is OK.

In any case, it would be impossible for Shamash-san, who is a demon race, to live with her in that mansion that seems to have a thick spirit power.

Besides, building a house nearby and passing by rather than living together poorly would be more erotic without worrying about being seen!　And you know what? .......

Don't think about that kind of prickly stuff, prickly .......

'Do you have any marina?'

Marina has been thinking about something with her eyes closed since a while ago.

When I urged her to do so, her eyes widened.

'Lord!　The newcomers will be trained by Marina!

What?

'Marina is a senior slave. She is also a senior in the knightly corps. She has to set the standard.

I knew you were thinking about something earlier, but were you thinking about that?

I don't mind. What's the norm?

You can't do this and that before your seniors. This and that.

What's this?
