Episode 46.20 (1/2)
”Thank you again. So now about your rewards, all of you.”
”Guide Morfes.”
”What will it be, Arios-dono.”
”I have received <Free Box>, while Julius <Free Box> and <Necklace of Intuador> from you, very much invaluable objects. They are more than enough as our rewards.”
”So they are now. Of course, the necklace you have is yours now too, Arios-dono. Ah, right. All of you, listen well. Be sure to hide your <Necklace of Intuador> before you leave the dungeon.”
”What?”
”The necklaces I gave you are made of rare and precious objects, they are the results of a great many failures at the end of processes with low chance of success, some of which only I know how. Other guides would definitely try to get their hands on them if they saw them. By any means necessary.”
”Hou. They're that good huh.”
”That applies to you too, Ui.”
”Yes.”
”Arios-dono, Julius-chan, Eda-chan and Ui, each of you will take one platinum coin as your reward.”
”Eh. Obaba-sama. I went in this expedition as your companion, not a hired arm. There is no need for-”
”Where you are heading from here on, you can never have enough money.”
”Eh.”
”I do not believe I would receive a harsh punishment after we got out. I'm still a member of Morfes regardless of what happens, and treating the first conqueror of Dungeon Palcimo in 62 long year like a criminal would reflect bad on them. I likely would be paraded around as a hero even. But that will not be the case with you.”
”Yes.”
”Magic Knights will absolutely not forgive you for smearing their honor. They will make up some reasons to achieve that officially. You will be squeezed dry to the limit.”
”...Yes.”
”Therefore. You should ask for your exile on your own volition. Forfeit all the fortune your uncle left you. That should sway them to let you out.”
”Obaba,sama.”
”You will need money on hands once you are outside. Hence, take the platinum coin. Please.”
”Obaba-sama. Thank you, thank you very much. But, where should I go from here if I leave.”
”Would you like to go to our village?”

”Eh.”
”I can't comment on its location, but I can assure you it's quite a nice place to live.”
”M-me? To the village of Iris Clan?”
”You will be able to hone your swordsmanship as well as magic there. My grandmother is a direct disciple of the honored Mazara Wedepasha-sama.”
”What. Say that again?”
”Obaba-sama?”
”Listen now, Ui. The teacher of Era Morfes was none other than that Mazara Wedepasha-sama.”
”Eh.”
”To think a direct disciple of her is still alive today. I see. She was a Longliver. Dear me, goodness gracious. Ui. This must be a divine intervention.”
”Obaba-sama.”
”Oh dear. And now I can rest easy. I no longer have any regrets.”
Lecan thought Jiza would start demanding to let herself be invited to Iris Clan Village as well once she heard the name Mazara Wedepasha. Yet that never happened.
Jiza has lost her vigor, worn out. However, that definitely comes from a sense of fulfillment for having achieved her lifelong dream no doubt.
”Will you be willing to come with me?”
