Sevens: Lyle’s Party
Lyle’s Party
After passing through Lorphys, and returning to Zayin, it ended up that a party was to be held to commemorate our victory
Celebrating a joint victory against Selva with Lorphys Besides that, it was a party to celebrate the cooals all that paperwork hell had been directed at
In the teed in the buffet-style arrangements, as music streamed into the space
But I was…
“Oh Holy Knight, is it really true you relinquished your captain position?”
“The new captain Noy-dono… will he truly be reliable?”
“Holy knight, which one are you really gunning for? Is it Aura-sama, or Thelma-sama? Personally, I’d like to support Thelma-sama here”
…I was e of question
I smiled as I offered some harmless, and politically correct statehed
But I could put up with it
From the Jewel, the Seventh offered some advice
『Lyle, don’t let your guard down Your opponents h your character A lot of thes out of self-interest, but there are so them』
When I turned an eye around, I saw Miranda and Aria being called out to by so men
They seehts were striking up conversation with Clara, Shannon, and May
Monica was quietly standing diagonally behind me, and it was as if no one else could actually see her If she could do so like that, I’d like her to use it more often
But looking closely, no one tried to talk to Novem or Eva
Eva was an elf, and as a demi-huh saying she was h the door
But the one that intrigued me was Novem
(I was sure someone would call over to her)
And as I thought that, I cut my conversations short, separated from the people around me, and walked over to Novem
Putting the glass in my hand to my lips, I held its liquid in my mouth a bit to moisten rown tired ofa smile
“Nove any fun?”
When I sent such a voice, the two standing around the plaza’s pillars looked atdresses they’d picked out, and the iave off was quite different than usual
Eva showed
“The food is good, but I’m not really sure? The stuff Monica makes had more variation”
It was a hurriedly thrown together party after reclai in preparation
Monica spoke to Eva
“I usually put in allskill to rows as to not be able to live without me But if you want to praise me, I’ll happily accept”
Hiding her hed
Eva sighed, and placed her plate on top of a nearby table
“You’re the saot so many people to cohts, and h”
Novelass filled with some drink as she explained to Eva
“They are envoys from other lands Also officials of the Guild, and what looks like the adventurers who ca at you, Lyle-sama, for quite some time now”
I did feel their fleeting glances, so I decided to head over If they were Guild officials, then I should at least s
And there were a large nu to strike up conversation with me here
Even if I spoke a
The Third spoke
『I’ve only experienced this sort of party a few times, so I don’t really know, but is Lyle popular?』
The Seventh explained to him
『He’s the centerpiece, I’m sure I’m not even sure the Holy Maiden who reclaih Priest could amount to him at the moment』
The Fifth sounded bored
『Well, as long as you listen to nothing but his achievements, he’s a hero In truth, the rumors that he retook Zayin with just a hundred must have spread by now… there are plenty of folks who’ll be curious』
Foreign envoys, the knights, and the Guild Then the merchants…
(Hah, I wonder if anyone will be willing to finance me)
I thought that was a bit too much to ask for, but I wanted to deal with our money problems promptly I was able to sell my name quite well this time
But at the sa, and earn some money
(And earning it up steadily is… ah, come to think of it, once we return, we’ll only be able to take up dispatch requests for a while, so the profits won’t be too great)
The completion fee
We decided not to accept it this ti by
No, Lorphys one through a bit of internal dissention But right after that, it sent soldiers to assist Lorphys, and it didn’t get any major profit from that
Soliciting money from them like that made me feel quite reluctant
And it would be troublesome if they went into economic strife
(I really )
I thought, as I greeting the Guild officials with a smile

…Having come to Beim, Damien stood before the rumored haunted mansion
He had searched out the athering as he caht up to the front door
Behind him, three maids of the same exact appearance and outfit followed
In contrast, it felt as if Alette’s two subordinate knights were the ones out of place
A gathering of rubberneckers had gathered at the peculiar sight
While Dae gole behind
No, rather than a golem, it was a modified Porter variant
Able to be laden with large loads of cargo, the large Porter rolled along behind theer than the Porter Lyle had completed Bit its main motorized portion was smaller
The box it pulled behind was the majority of it
It was furnished with a number of wheels, and the curious residents of Beist themselves
“My,for it over there It looks like a storehouse What say we take it for ourselves?”
The short Daht hand, and he used his left to correct his slipping glasses, as he looked out at the large storehouse in the yard, and declared
The maids
“As expected of our iven to the other party But that’s exactly what makes him our master!”
“Well, we can negotiate with that piece of scrap metal who calls herself a Special Model, and snatch it later If that doesn’t work, we need only beat the living daylights out of her with our coordinated plays”
“My skills are thirsting for battle!”
To those three maids, Damien turned
“Why fight? We’ll ‘borrow’ his storehouse, and if we say we’re using it to ht? Don’t do unnecessary things”
Thetheir heads
Alette’s subordinate knights were about to call out to console them, but…
“He scolded us Meaning we are no longer trivial existences in our master’s eyes!”
“It’s yet another step forwards!”
“At this rate, we’re getting closer and closer toit so his body can’t live without us”
As Daroup of two appeared
They wore robes, and one of their builds could be made out as a warrior’s He stood in front as if to protect the sirl, and the maids stood lined before Damien
Taking off her hood, the girl showed her long wavy light-blue hair, as she greeted Damien’s party
“Good day And pardonthis is the mansion of Lyle Walt, am I?”
When the other party threw out Lyle’s name, Damien had the maids step down
“Oh, Lyle’s guests? I’ here, so perhaps a co like that So what is your business? If it’s not urgent, then hand off the right of way I myself am quite busy”
Perhaps irritated by Dairl… besides Adele addressed Damien
“Aren’t you being a bit rude? I don’t knoho you ent business We shant hand it off so easily”
There, Damien looked over the man… Maksim from his head to his toes
“You sure are prepared Could it be you’re testing your skill? I heard it on the way, but Lyle sure has becoain?”
As Daotten Lyle’s et whatever he wasn’t interested in, Maid No 2…
“Holy Knight, master”
“Right, that one! Since he got that title, did you come to test your skill on him? Or would it be… related to his little sister?”
When Damien said that, Maksim removed the cloth from the spear in his hands, and took a stance When he uncovered his well-crafted armament, Adele had him step down
The ain, each with a different weapon in their hands
“Maksim, stop it! That person isn’t related!”
“S-still…!”
The girl had a wary Maksi to Damien
