v1c19.2 - Intermission 8 - Ellie, the Arch Wizard preparing for anything
“Ellie! Wait!”
“Stay away from me! I’m out of the party!”
“I’m the leader of this group, so I won’t allow it! Ellie should be with me!”
A man – just as I is about to leave Roland’s room, I is forcefully grabbed by the arm.
I really don’t want to! Alex would never do this!
“Let me go! Roland, you’re misunderstanding it!”
“Misunderstand? No, it’s not. It’s just a fact.”
“Kyaaahhhhh!”
My arm was pulled tightly …… and I was thrown to a bed at the back of a small, single room.
“W-What the hell are you doing!?”
“Seriously. If you’d listened to what I had to say, I wouldn’t have been so rough with you.”
“Roland!?”
“I knew. I knew Ellie liked Alex. Anyone can see that when they see that. Only Alex would be stupid enough not to notice.”
“Then I can go to Alex!”
“You’re an idiot. That’s why I’m going to make those words a fact — I’m going to make Ellie my lover. I’m going to make you not want to be without me.”
When Roland was removing his belt ……
“[Ex-Freeze]!”
He froze in his position trying to remove it.
“This is a fine form of self-defense! Also, you should be thanking me for using you ice magic instead of fire magic!”
I’m sure Roland, who was subjected to high-level freezing magic, didn’t hear me, but I said what I wanted to say and left the room.
Seriously. I would be happy if someone I liked, Alex did something like that to me, but if someone I didn’t like did it to me, it would just make me feel disgusted.
But I’m sure Alex would be a gentleman under normal circumstances, but I heard that he’s in a beast state right now, so the moment we meet again, he might attack me. Kyaahhh. What should I do?
First of all, I returned to our–the ladies’ room…
“Stella, Ms. Grace. I’ve decided to leave the party today. Thank you so much for everything.”
“Ellie, is Roland okay?”
“Yeah. I mean, Stella and Ms. Grace should be careful too. When I told him I was leaving the party, Roland pushed me down on the bed. So I iced him.”
I said goodbye to the two of them, who looked so disgusted by Roland’s story.
“I’m grateful for your help, even if it was short-lived. I will be careful of Mr. Roland.”
I told her that I was worried about Stella, though Grace-san could probably turn the tables on him like I did, and then I packed up my things and went to Ms. Tabitha.
“Ms Tabitha. Please send me to Alex’s place with the package you just sent.”
“I understand. I just have one concern, Ms. Monica was here just a few minutes ago.”
“Ah! That’s right. I forgot about Ms. Monica.”
Even without Alex, I see her from time to time at the Adventurer’s Guild since we are based in the same city.
Naturally, she knows about Roland, but if I am not there, I am sure Monica would guess that I have gone to Alex’s place.
“I’ll try to stall her as long as I can, but I can’t guarantee that she won’t go there …… She’s so pushy, after all. I don’t think it’ll happen, but if she use the transporter on her own, she can go there.”
“Uh …… I-Is that so.”
“So, Ellie, as soon as you can …… Well, I’m sure Mr. Alex will come to you, but make sure you have a ready-made reason to refuse Ms. Monica.”
M-Ms. Tabitha even asked me to make a fait accompli!
Stella said the same thing, and if Alex didn’t do something like that, I would have to ask him out …… right?
Then I was told that the earliest I could return to the city was two months, that if I needed anything, they would send it to the extent possible, and that the reward was land…
“Then, if you go into this magic circle, you will be in the demon territory. I hope you and Mr. Alex have a good time.”
“I understand. Then, I’m off!”
“Bye!”
When I entered the magic circle, my vision instantly changed and I was in a house I had never seen before.
“This must be the house where Alex lives.”
Looking around, it appears that there is only one room, but I guess it is big enough for two people to live in.
But it seems like it would feel too small for more than five people, so no more than two kids …… No, no, no, we’ll be in our new house by then!
In the meantime, Alex seems to be out, and I hear there are monster out there, so I’d better stay home and wait for him.
“Oh, right. I should change into the underwear I bought today. J-Just in case something happens.”
I don’t think it’s going to happen of nowhere, but just in case …… so I decided to get dressed and wait for Alex just in case.
