v2c49.2 - Intermission 22 - Fiine, the Witch, said she'll try to work hard at night
“Hm, I knew it, picking medicinal herbs is still better than being asked to do a chore, huh?”
I was told that if I went to a place called “demon territory”(?) in a few days, I wouldn’t have to worry about eating, but until I get there, I have to make do on my own for the next few days.
So, without telling anyone, I was thinking about what job I should take while talking to myself.
“Hm? Hey, little girl. Are you in need of money? Then let me introduce you to a simple job.”
A slightly overweight old man spoke to me.
He didn’t look like an adventurer, so I wonder if he was a merchant or something?
“What? Really!? Oh …… but is it fine if it’s only for a few days? Fiine’s supposed to be work somewhere else in a few days.”
“Is that so? But if you come with me, you can make a lot of money in just a few hours, you know? And it’s not hard at all, in fact, I’ll make you feel good and …… Oh, no. It’s nothing. I’ll see you later.”
“Huh? What? …… what was that?”
When I thought the old man who had been talking to me had suddenly gone somewhere…
“Fiine. Can I talk to you for a minute?”
“Oh, Ms. Tabitha. What is it?”
I saw Ms. Tabitha standing right behind me.
Then she took me into a small room.
“You know, Fiine, you shouldn’t listen to those weird, strange people, okay?”
I was a little bit scolded.
Rather than listening …… Fiine was just being talked to, though
Ah, I see. I remember that all adventurer jobs had to go through the Adventurers’ Guild.
So, when that old man talked to me earlier, I should have just gone with him to the guild’s reception desk.
“Yes, I understand!”
“I’m glad you understood …… That’s right. The guildmaster has approved the thing I told you about sending Fiine to the demon territory. After that, if Mr. Alex, the S-class adventurer over there, approves ……”
“Mr. Alex!? Is that the same Mr. Alex who was in the same party with Ms. Stella, the one she said he would definitely protect you?”
“Yes. It’s probably that Mr. Alex.”
"
"
Mr. Alex …… he may be the knight who may protect Fiine from misfortune.
“Um, does Mr. Alex ride a white horse or something?”
“What? I don’t know if he can ride a horse, but I don’t think there are horses in the demon territory.”
“Then, maybe he’s actually a prince from somewhere.”
“…… I don’t think so.”
Too bad. So he’s not a prince on a white horse.
But since Ms. Stella praised him so highly, he must be a good person!
“…… Fiine-chan. I’ll tell you first, but there are three people living in the demon territory, including Mr. Alex. Ellie, the wizard, and Ms. Monica, the magic knight …… In other words, there are two women.”
“……? What’s wrong with that?”
“I don’t know for sure, but I think one of Ellie or Ms. Monica, is Mr. Alex’s girlfriend.”
“What!? Even though he’s a knight who’ll protect Fiine!?”
I’ve never met him, but I’m sure the very handsome Mr. Alex will protect Fiine, and after we get to know each other, wasn’t he supposed to marry me!?
“No, I’m sure he’ll help you? It’s just that I had a feeling that Fiine had a strange image of him. So, about Ellie and Ms. Monica ……”
Oh, but wait.
Now that I think about it, Fiine’s mothers were very close.
Even if Mr. Alex has a boyfriend, it would be fine if he marries Fiine.
But …… I think my father said that it is hard at night when you have more than one wife.
He didn’t tell me what was so hard about it, but I’m sure that if Fiine and Mr. Alex work together, we can get through it.
“…… So, if it’s a fight, don’t get caught up in it, okay?”
“Yes! I understand!”
“…… You’re suddenly feeling better, but did you understand what I said? But, I’m not very happy about this whole evening thing.”
“Well, Fiiine will do her best.”
I was thinking about something so I didn’t hear Ms. Tabitha at all, but she said …… that the nights are tough, right?
I don’t know what you do at night, but Fiine is going to work hard with Mr. Alex so I’m sure it’ll be fine!
"
"
“I hope that Fiine will not have to work too hard at night, though. Mr. Alex should be out of his beast mode, so I’m sure it’ll be fine ……”
Beast mode? I wonder if Mr. Alex is a beastman?
If so, he’s the same as Fiine’s other mother.
But it seems like my father said that Fiine’s mother is also a beast at night, even though she’s not a …… beastmen.
Let’s put this aside for now and let’s work hard at night together with Mr. Alex!
