v7c285.1 - Intermission 83 - Stella the Priest comes to the demon territory
“Ms. Stella!”
“Good morning, Ms. Tabitha. It’s about the talk of going to Mr. Alex’s place, right?”
“Oh, yes. It’s about something related to that ……”
I was asked to go to the demon territory as a Priestess who can use high-level healing magic because Ellie and someone else got pregnant, so I came to the Adventurers Guild ready to go.
I had already passed over to someone with an Acolyte job, who would be the healer for the party while I was temporarily in the demon territory, and all I had to do was go over there …… But, I wonder if something happened.
Ms. Tabitha called me to a private room in the back of the guild, and when I entered, there was a little girl.
“Ah! N-Nice to meet you! M-My name is Tina. I-It’s a pleachure- …… pleasure to meet you.”
“I’m Stella. It’s nice to meet you.”
She may look like a child in her early teens, but if she’s in the Adventurers Guild, that means she’s an adult …… at least 15 years old, right? …… She doesn’t look like it.
“Um, Ms. Stella. Tina will be accompanying you on this trip to the demon territory. That’s because the destination is that place, so in order to return, it is necessary to invite the Lord Sage and use summoning magic, and for that purpose, a sample of magical power is required.”
“In other words, since you’ve already taken Ms. Tina’s magic power as a sample, does that mean that if I stay with Ms. Tina, I can return with her when you use the summoning magic?”
“You really get it, Ms. Stella. That’s right. The sage is scheduled to visit us a few days later, and before we use the summoning magic, I will call out to you with call magic, so if you hold hands with Tina at that time, you will be able to come back here.”
According to Ms. Tabitha, Ms. Tina is still an apprentice guild member, and Ms. Colette, a mid-level guild member, was supposed to go with me to inspect the site.
However, due to the red dragon sighting, the schedule was shifted and Ms. Colette was unable to go.
They had succeeded in driving away the red dragon, and the Shiina country announced that they were on daily alert just in case, so they decided to go there at this time.
“U-Um, my main job is to report on the situation in the demon territory, and …… I-I may not be able to help you at all with the baby thing, but I’ll do my best!”
“Ahaha, that part is my job, so you don’t have to worry!”
“A-As expected of an adult woman! I’ve never had a boyfriend, let alone be with a man ……”
Even I’ve never been with a man either!
But since she is looking at me with envy, I’ll keep it to myself for Ms. Tina’s sake.
“I-Is it because my boobs are not big?”
“Ah, now that you mention it, the three over there …… Ellie, Ms. Monica, and Fiine all have large breasts. And Ms. Stella, too.”
“M-Ms. Tabitha!? What are you saying, all of a sudden!?”
I mean, I don’t think Ms. Tina needs to worry about it, since she will grow up from now on.
And those three with big breasts, isn’t that what Ms. Alex likes?
…… I-I wouldn’t be targeted, would I?
I mean, Mr. Alex is going to be Ellie’s husband, so I wouldn’t be able to do something like that.
Besides, we were in a party together before, but he never showed any behavior like that.
“Well then, let’s cut the jokes, and call Mr. Alex, shall we?”
“S-Senior Tabitha. I-I’m not joking, I’m rather serious about it ……”
“Yes, yes. I’m going to use the call magic now, so please be quiet …… Mr. Alex. Are you there? Mr. Alex, hello!”
Tabitha called out, but there was no response.
But this always seems to be the case, and after a while…
“I’m sorry, I made you wait.”
I heard Mr. Alex’s voice for the first time in a while.
“This is about your previous request for Ms. Stella to go there. I’ve got her approval and she’s going to go there now, is that all right?”
“Yes, that’s fine.”
“I understand. I will send you some additional food for Ms. Stella-san later …… And, we will also send a staff member from the Adventurers Guild there.”
“A guild member? I don’t mind, but what’s wrong?”
“Mr. Alex is always saying nonsense about an elf and dragon tribesman being there, and for some reason, you’ve become a country, so we’re going to inspect the situation about that.”
“I understand. If it’s about that, it’s fine.”
So it’s fine.
The fourth demon territory is a barren land, but the elf aside, does the dragon tribesman even exist?
“Then, please wait for a while. After that, you can talk to Ms. Stella and the guild member Tina …… Then, let’s go.”
Ms. Tabitha led us to a room in the back of the guild and I went into the magic circle with Ms. Tina.
“I-I’m very nervous. I-It’s my first time …… using a transport device.”
“It’s my first time too, but Mr. Alex and Ellie have used it before, so I think we’ll be fine.”
“Yes, you don’t have to worry about it. Then, here it goes.”
With Ms. Tabitha’s voice, I was enveloped in a pale light …… And when I came to, the scene changed in an instant.
“Stella. I’m so glad you came, I really appreciate it.”
“Mr. Alex. It’s been a while.”
It has been a long time since I saw Mr. Alex-san, and …… although he doesn’t seem to have changed in any way and his appearance hasn’t changed, I guess his mood has changed somehow?
When I was thinking about that, I suddenly felt a gaze and turned my face to the side, and I saw a person looking inside through the gap in the door.
I wondered if it was Ellie, but …… Wait a minute! There are at least ten women in there, what’s going on!?
