v8c295 - Notification of the Summoning Magic's Postponement
Once we finished our work, we went back to the house for lunch and I told them what Tabitha had told me in the morning.
“I have something I need to tell you all. I just got a call from Tabitha, an official of the Adventurers Guild that my return from the demon territory with summoning magic has been delayed. I’m sorry.”
When I bowed my head to everyone, Lydia, who had been the first to arrive in this demon territory, opened her mouth.
“Um, why are you apologizing, Mr. Alex?”
“No, the process of getting everyone back to their respective homes would take longer, wouldn’t it?”
“Oh, I was thinking that it would be better if we could get home before the children are born. I would like to introduce Mr. Alex to my parents and the elven elders by then.”
“Uh, didn’t Lydia say she wanted to return to the Elven Forest?”
“I would like to return to my hometown once, but my place now is by Mr. Alex’s side, though.”
Starting with this statement by Lydia…
“Nina too! I’m going to introduce brother to my dad! But I don’t have to go home right away!”
“I’m going to introduce big brother to my father someday! And then we’ll get married!”
“Fiine too, I want to find my Mom and introduce Sir Alex to her. And since Fiine was originally planning to go on a trip to look for Mom, it’s okay if I can’t go back to the Town of Frey. As long as I can stay by Sir Alex’s side.”
To Nina and Nora, Fiine …… and everyone else, respectively, told me not to worry about not being able to return.
And…
“W-Well, it’s fine if I can’t get home before this child is born, too. My parents know Alex very well, and as long as we can report about our marriage. Oh, but I’d still like to have a wedding.”
“Okay. I’d like to talk with my parents as well, but first, I have to talk to Ellie’s parents. I’m sure we’ll hear from Tabitha again, so I’ll tell her to let them know as soon as we know when it’s going to be”
“Well, from what I’ve heard, the wise man who can use summoning magic is very busy. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you all.”
Tina apologizes to everyone as a guild employee, and Ellie says it’s okay.
Well, as the Adventurers Guild, they did call the Wise Man properly, so it’s not like they’re at fault.
“Stella is …… are you okay?”
“Ah, yes. I myself don’t mind, but …… well, I’m worried about the new party members I have formed with after Mr. Alex and Ms. Ellie’s arrival. I came here with the intention of leaving the party temporarily, and I’m sure they are waiting for my return in the town of Frey.”
“I see. Maybe next time Tabitha calls, Stella can join the conversation and we can talk to her about it.”
“I-I will contact Ms. Tabitha as well.”
According to Tina, she has a magic item that allows her to communicate with Tabitha in written form.
However, it does not mean that she will see it immediately after Tina sends a message, but rather, when Tabitha notices it, she will read it and respond to it.
“…… Husband. Will you go back to another place someday?”
“Hm? No, I may go back to my hometown temporarily, or go to the town of Frey because it is easier to bring everyone home …… but I will come back here. I promised to help rebuild Meilin’s country, after all.”
“Husband!”
Meilin, who had been looking anxious, hugged me, and Sakura, Sophie and the others, who were nearby, also looked relieved.
Oh, Meilin and Sophie are originally from this area, right?
“I see. A wedding! Alex. I’ll get Snowy ready to go to the country as soon as possible, so let’s have the wedding in my hometown, shall we?”
“Y-Yeah. That’s fine, but don’t push Snowy too hard, okay? He’s pretty busy, isn’t he?”
“Hahaha. It’s a top priority, don’t worry. Nothing is more important than my wedding with Alex, after all.”
No, please don’t be so unreasonable, Neve.
Snowy’s too busy, so he’ll collapse, you know? He’s pretty important, isn’t he?
“I’d like to invite Darling to the Angel Tribe’s village too, but it’s too far away! So I’ll have to get Ms. Shelly to make lots of magic circles.”
“That’s right. Now that I think about it, if I have Shelly’s magic circle, I can go home even without summoning magic.”
“That’s what I meant! I remember you were saying that it needs a lot of holy water, so should I ask Mom and the others to come? If everyone provides holy water, I’m sure we can get a good amount of it.”
Yudit’s suggestion is a good idea, but the holy water that the angel tribe makes is that, right?
Everyone from the angel tribes would make that thing …… I-I wonder how it will turn out.
“If that is the case, let me help you! In order to have a wedding ceremony with Master, I’ll immediately make holy water ……”
“Well. Let’s get back to work.”
“Master!? It’s holy water, you know!? I can make holy water too, you know!?”
Monica tried to pull up her skirt, so I decided to work hard this afternoon.
In the meantime, don’t do anything weird in front of Nora and Tina.
