“Where should I start …… Anyway, Snowy made us an independent country because of a favor ……”
“A favor to create a country!? I mean, Mr. Alex, you are talking about Mr. Snowy Mountain, aren’t you? The person is listed on the paperwork as the assistant to the prime minister, though!”
“Ah, come to think of it, that’s what he said.”
“That’s so light! He’s the assistant to the prime minister of a country, you know!? He’s a very important person, isn’t he! You didn’t do anything strange, right!?”
“Oh, that’s all right. We had dinner together and he said the crops from here are very tasty.”
Right. Then he suddenly came to deliver the news of our independence.
I didn’t tell him that, but maybe he guessed something when he heard what Neve and Meilin were talking about.
I think Meilin is probably the one who is most pleased with this talk of an independent country.
However, I wanted him to consult with me about the name of the country.
“So, how did you end up having dinner with the assistant to the prime minister?”
“Ah, he came with a transporter to bring his sister back to his country. He was an amazing person with that huge body, quite fast, and could even use defensive magic.”
“…… D-Don’t tell me, did you fight him!? Did you attack the Assistant to the Prime Minister!?”
“No, you say attack, I only blew him away with my shield. No problem.”
“That’s a major problem! What the heck are you doing!? It’s a good thing he was so calm about it, but in the worst-case scenario, it could be a liability issue for our country or the Adventurers Guild.”
Tabitha’s exclamation echoed, but that was to protect Neve.
And I haven’t touched him since I found out it was a sibling fight.
“Tabitha. You’re breathing too hard. You need to take a deep breath.”
“Whose fault is it that I’m like this!?”
I gave the advice for Tabitha’s sake, but she got angry with me.
…… Why is that?
“…… Hah. So, this sister also came to the demon territory with a transporter? And, just like Fiine-chan, you laid your hand on her too.”
“No, I told you earlier that I didn’t do anything to Ne- …… to Snow White.”
“Then, why did Ms. Snow White decide to stay in the Demon Territory? Since her brother, the Assistant to the Prime Minister, came to pick her up, it’s normal for her to go back to her home country, isn’t it?”
“Well, I don’t know the actual situation either, but it seems that Snow White was imprisoned in their country. But since I saved her ……”
“Um, I don’t understand you, how is it that Ms. Snow White, who was imprisoned, came to the demon territory? And what does it mean that Mr. Alex saved her?”
“Ahh, long story short, I came to the demon territory and obtained the Slave Release skill ……”
First of all, I explained that I got the Slave Release skill as soon as I arrived and explained about the skill. Then, when I told her that thanks to Lydia, the elf I saved, we have no shortage of food, then for some reason Tabitha let out a big sigh.
“Mr. Alex. I’ve never heard of such a skill, and what is an extra skill? If you had such a skill, you’d be in a bigger mess by now.”
“No, even if you say so, it’s true.”
“I understand. If you insist so much, we will send someone from the guild to inspect. However, it cannot be done immediately. It will take a while to coordinate and prepare for the work, and we will also have to talk about who to send to inspect. I’ll give you a few days, so can you come up with a more plausible excuse?”
“Tabitha. Wait a minute. I am a Paladin, and I swear by the name of the Holy Knight that I’m telling the truth ……”
“Mr. Alex is a sex knight …… Ahem. Please be moderate with your evening activities.. I’ll be in touch.”
“H-Hey. Tabitha ……”
The call magic was ended unilaterally.
I wonder if she would have believed me if Lydia had been here.
Or maybe Neve herself.
At any rate, if one of the guild employees is coming, we’ll have a separate room …… or rather a bed made in this cabin.
We are planning to build guest quarters for the angel tribe and Snowy, but it’s not finished yet.
We will have meals together, but the baths are close here, and since they are separated from us, they will be able to spend their time here without any worries.
Above all, Tsubaki has lived here for a while, as we had, so there shouldn’t be a problem.
As usual, Nora’s workload will be heavy, so we decided to get everyone to help out.
