Chapter 148 – THE DEMON SWORD WIELDER’S EXPRESS HOME DELIVERY (1/2)

CHAPTER 148 – THE DEMON SWORD WIELDER’S EXPRESS HOME DELIVERY

The next day.

In the place we’re staying in Malonei, Delfina Merchant Company’s building.

In Delfina’s room, she is working at her desk from the morning.

And I am watching that on a sofa a few distance away.

「What a good woman」

『I’d really like to ask your standard of “a good woman” just for once』

「Women that I would like to make love with, that’s all though?」

『That sounds simple, but that isn’t answering the question though』

「Is that so? It’s just simple」

『I’m asking here alright. How about making it more into words?』

「I am. It’s women that I would like to make love with」

『That doesn’t count as putting it into words』

I could feel Eleanor rolling her eyes inside my head.

「In the first place, what would you do with it if I put it into words?」

『……』

「Eleanor?」

『I-I’m going to guide Hikari to not be like that』

For some reason, the feeling that flows from Eleanor changed into something restless.

What is she being restless for?

「You don’t need to worry about Hikari. She’s my daughter after all」

『Hmph, who’d believe that』

「You’re teasing me, calling me a doting parent but you’re worried about that?」

It’s been a while but I’m feeling troubled. Just a little though.

And when I’m chatting with Eleanor about such senseless things, there was a knock on the door and one woman entered inside.

It’s a young intelligent-looking woman wearing glasses.

Her face features are the same type with Delfina, a beautiful type rather than being described as cute.

「I have something to report, Master」

「Did something happen?」

「Yes……」

After the woman made a small nod, she glanced at me.

It looks like it’s something she can’t speak of with an outsider.

「Do not mind it, speak」

「……yes. A riot is taking place in the town」

「A riot? Suppress it just like as usual」

「Just like as usual?」

「Yes, it’s this」

Delfina made a gesture of grabbing something from her chest.

It’s similar to when I took out that dark thing. I see, riots that is caused by that, it is still happening up until now huh.

「That’s, Master……it is getting more frequent」

「More frequent?」

「It suddenly occurred earlier in the morning. There are 7 cases with just the ones that have already been reported, and there are five places that clearly seems strange although there is no report」

「……」

Delfina narrowed her beautiful eyebrows.

「There’s riots in 12 places?」

「At the least, that is」

She glanced at me and replied.

Delfina who received the report got into deep thought.

「Suppressing them……will take time huh」

「Is that so?」

「We have not expected that this level of riot will occur at once. We’ve prepared a vigilante group that would take the place of Aegina’s officials, but it’s scale is……」

「I see. Delfinaーー」

Delfina raised a hand towards me the instant I called her name.

She faced her palm towards me, and I felt like I was told to shut up.

While retaining that pose, Delfina thought for awhile.

「Request help from the adventurer’s guild. The reward is thrice the normal. Tell them as well that double of that will be paid to the adventurers who can suppress several places today」

「Understood, Master」

The woman made a bow and left the room.

I completely understood Delfina’s intention. Her intention of wanting to take care of it without my help.

『It’s her woman’s pride』

I know.

I answered to Eleanor without saying it out loud.

I thought that I should let Delfina do so if she wants to.

Well, hearing her instructions, I felt like it would be taken care of, although it would take time.

Since that is the case, it might be better if I’m not here.

I stood up from the sofa and told Delfina.

「I remembered something that I need to do, I’ll go back now to my mansion. I’ll come here byーー」

「Master!!」

Pan!!, the door was slammed open.

The woman from earlier rushed into the room with a pale face.

「What happened?」
