Vol 9 Chapter 138 (1/2)
Letter
The one waiting for me when I returned to the inn was Alette-san
She belonged to the knight brigade of a small country known as Lorphys, but was the captain of a force carrying out a strange tradition of training in Beim
I’ve even heard rumors she was promised the position of vice commander once she returned home
And such a person had dropped by to visit me
“… I never thought we’d ain so soon”
When I said that with a dubious expression, she gave a s in it, and dropped her shoulders
“Saoes for me I knoe both need a little more time between us But I have to talk to you now, no matter what”
Alette-san had come by the inn with her trusty adjutant
When I tried to confirm the details, she invited us out for a meal
“… Anyways Could you free up some tiht now I’ll treat you all at dinner”
The one dealing with her was Miranda
She sat in a chair, crossed her legs, looked at me, and nodded
(So my decision on the matter is fine I’d better tell her about how much May eats)
If ere just going to listen to what she had to say, it shouldn’t really be a problem
“We’ll gladly accept a meal But one of our members has quite an appetite I recommend you resolve yourself for the bill”
As I said we’d listen to her, Alette-san seemed relieved
“That’s a big help Well, we all have our appetites, be we adventurers or knights There’s a restaurant I happen to like, so I’ll treat you there The ratulations I offered you before But we aren’t so rushed on that one Our main objective is about a letter of introductions Well then, we’ll send so”
A letter of introduction? To whoht, but there was one person that seemed to fit the terms
Alette-san left the inn, and Miranda stood from her seat to come over to me
I had headed to the guild with Aria, but she noticed I had returned alone
“I’ll notify the other members about the dinner matter More importantly, weren’t you with Aria?”
I had taken Aria to the guild to teach her about it, but on the way back, she had gone off to retrieve so a little later
“Her equipment was scheduled to be done today, so she went off to pick it up If she caain”
After hearing that, Miranda looked towards the door Alette had exited through
“I think this is probably about professor Damien If it’s a letter of introduction froht show some interest Will you write one up?”
My acquaintance that Alette-san seemed interested in was a professor at Arumsaas’ academy known as Damien Valle
He was an odd ball known as one of the acadereat
In fact, he was the one to get Monica operational after excavating her from the Labyrinth
And at present, it idespread knowledge that he had used his goleolem 【Porter】
To be more precise, I had been the ic, and consulted withof a joint venture
“Porter is convenient, after all Since she’s attached to a knight brigade, I guess she can’t help but want a unit I did deny teaching her, so…”
Seeing ave a bitter sht to the table in front of her
“Hey, it was the right decision, wasn’t it? Spreading the information to become rich would be nice, but I honestly doubt its viability for our end goal So will you write up a letter?”
Fro around my neck, I heard the aloof voice of the Third Generation Head
『How about writing one to get her in your debt? And get her to pass on that matter with Monica, and what’s happened up to now… it’s thinkable that Celes may becouard while you can』
The latter half of that was said in an earnest voice
I gripped the Jewel to signify reement on the matter
“I’ll write one I want to inform hi you want to pass along?”
Miranda laughed
“I doubt he even remembers my nao notify the others To leave their evenings open”
I saw her off as she headed up the stairs, and began thinking up what to tell Damien
(Write a letter of introductions, and… yeah, I can’t leave Celes out of it And what I learned in the Labyrinth Perhaps he’ll be able to give soht?)
Recalling the words of the auto to Damien

The dinner Alette-san treated us to was good in both quantity, and quality
She reserved a room, and perhaps to thank everyone for the success of the Labyrinth Subjugation, her subordinates were there as well
With the place rented out, ere able to talk about quite a few thinks
I alsofor Arumsaas
As ere returning back to the inn, Monica carried a sleeping Shannon over her back She walked over to my side, and made a rare request
“Chicken dickwad, once we return, I will plead so to you with upturned eyes, so please listen to my request”
As she said that, she looked quite reluctant I looked around
May looked satisfied as she talked with Aria about the et to try that one! I heard that sort of conversation
Eva was asking Miranda about the events in Aru memos
Clara was talking to Novem
The road back was still cold once night sent in, and I looked at theht
(Are they getting along better than before?)
I returned my eyes to Monica, and decided to see what I could do
“If it’s within a feasible scope Well then, what is your request?”
Monica supported up Shannon’s body with one hand, as she used the other to produce a black, small, and slender board from the pockets of her apron
“… What’s that?”
“A memory stick It’s loaded with information readable by automatons Could you put it in the letter, in a way he’s sure to notice?”
When I took it, she shi+fted Shannon back to both her hands
What I took in my hand looked like a smooth and small plank
“It’s probably best I hand it over through a different route It’s Da about here Perhaps he won’t even check the contents of the letter of introduction I’ll write another letter, and put it in there”
I’ll leave it with the knights headed for Arumsaas, and ask them to deliver it as well
