Happy Wednesday!
Here"s the new chapter, enjoy.
I gave them an explanation in Lingsan"s room at the guild.
Maa, I didn"t know if someone will eavesdrop, or how advanced this world was.
I wasn"t sure if it would be better to do it outside or in Lingsan"s room, but it seemed to be somewhat better to do it in the room of the guildmaster who was feared by the people.
「This is the Adventurer Guild.」
Lingsan said this as he opened the door to your typical, dirty tavern that one would hesitate to enter.
「Hee.」
We went inside, and I unconsciously let out a voice.
The interior of the Adventurer Guild was different from its exterior, it was kept fairly clean.
Perhaps they remodeled the tavern, the service counter was that of a tavern"s.
The requests were printed on paper, the degree of difficulty was color-coded, and was affixed onto the wall of the tavern.
Somehow, the guild looked just as I have imagined it to be like.
Perhaps they could also function as a tavern as well, several people who seemed to be adventurers, sat at the tables and chairs and were drinking alcohol.
The moment Lingsan entered the guild, it was not noisy, but the conversations all fell completely silent.
Several adventurers who were drinking alcohol instantly turned pale as if they had sobered up.
If not for that, it seemed like a cozy place though.
「Gu, guildmaster—! For what business are you here for today?」
「Aah, Mile-kun, these are my guests. Bring drinks for several people to the room.」
「Y, yes! Right away!!」
The puppy-like guild staff member came out from behind the service counter, and after he heard Lingsan"s instructions, he once again returned to the service counter.
With my extraordinary hearing ability, I caught the conversation from the other side of the service counter.
「Haaa, I don"t know what Lingsan is thinking.」
「Maa, it seems that he"s in a good mood this time, isn"t this better.」
「Yes, yes. Besides, when I was just thinking that he rarely appears, he suddenly comes in like this with someone, how embarra.s.sing—.」
「On top of there being a number of people this time, there"s a human, elf, and a familiar…. No, there"s a lot of things to tsukkomi.」
「In the first place, the familiar, whose is it?」
「The elven young lady, she"s cute…. She"s a G.o.ddess.」
「That doesn"t really mattter, but for now, Mile, bring this over first.」
「Uu, …ye—s.」
It seems that they"re scared of him because they don"t know what he"s thinking?
It"s normal for people to not know what other people are thinking, but was this not the norm for the these beastmen.
「Sit wherever you like. Maa, there are papers everywhere, so there"s no other place to sit other than over there though.」
The guildmaster"s room was up the stairs that was on the other side of the service counter and on the right.
There was only a shelf that was packed with books, a sofa, desk, and chairs.
In that room that didn"t feel lived-in, other than on the sofa, there were papers everywhere.
The fact that there was no bed, I knew that this was not place where Lingsan lived, but did he really not come here often like what I had heard just now.
Wasn"t it just him not entering through the normal entrance?
No, if that were the case, why would he do that?
「Now then, please continue what you were saying before.」
「A, aah.」
Lingsan said that to me who sat down on the sofa and pondering intently and then sat in his own chair.
I explained it to Amelia and Yoru who still did not understand what had happened just now.
「Firstly, from the magic that I released, you can see that the precision of the control was like pa.s.sing through the hole of a needle from one meter away, right?」
The two who knew how difficult magic was fervently nodded.
I honed in on the eyeball and aimed the small, condensed magic at the moving target, and on top of that, controlled the magic remotely.
Especially in Yoru"s case, if he didn"t properly imagine the target of his transformation, it seems that the magic itself wouldn"t invoke, so it probably understood it well.
「I purposely used a skill that displayed my strength but wasn"t flashy. Now then, Amelikun, why did I do that.」
「Um, is it because only those with a bit of real ability would make it flashy?」
When suddenly asked, Amelia was surprised at the abruptness but even so, she was able to give a proper response.
I kept patting Amelia"s head.
「Correct! Then Yoru, why would it be good to display your true strength?」
『…as long as one was not someone who has a lot of guts, when Master-dono"s there, they probably won"t trouble us.』
I stroked Yoru"s fur with my other hand.
It is surely, fur in both hands.
TN: I didn"t know how else to express this, but fur is technically hair, right? Plus, I based this off of "a flower in both hands".
「That"s correct. Then what"s the demerit?」
『Master-dono"s true strength was exposed. If, it were a powerful person who didn"t feel daunted after seeing the magic control from just now, they would, without hesitation, come looking for a fight.』
I held Yoru up and buried my face into that fur.
Yes, that"s exactly it.
「Moreover, I intentionally exposed Amelia"s ident.i.ty.」
「You wanted the people to leave after learning that she"s royalty?」
「That"s right.」
When I apologized for not discussing it with them, Amelia gave a small smile and gently shook her head.
「It"s fine for Akira to do as he likes. I"m fine with anything.」
「…Amelia….」
『Lingdono, was there anything else?』
「No, this is quite interesting.」
At the sudden growing pink atmosphere, Yoru gave a wry smile, and Lingsan gave a silent laugh.
「Was Linga there intentionally?」
「Aah, that was not on purpose. It was by chance, but I knew when I saw Lingsan that he was the guildmaster, and I thought I"d might as well get him involved.」
I lightly tapped the corner of my eye.
At that moment, Amelia gave a look that said that she understood.
Unable to handle it, Linga pouted.
I gave a wry smile at the unexpected childish behavior.
