âIâm really sorry. My body reacted because I was suddenly attacked.â
âAh, donât worry⊠Goldiana-san.â
âYou can feel free to call me Prettya-chan.â
âWell, Iâll do my best.â
On the sofa in the guest room, I faced a woman (?) She called herself an S-class adventurer. For some reason, the curly blonde-haired girl, the muscular Prettya, was attacked by the golems guarding the mansion when she was heading towards the house. Then she splendidly retaliated under the guise of self-defense. No, itâs bad that my golems misidentified her but, I canât scold the half-destroyed golems because Iâm confident that theyâll be ready for war when it approaches.
âPrettya chan was worried about Sara so she also ran with us. For some reason, the gatekeeper golems reactedâŠâ
âIâm glad that Rion stopped on the way. Efil and Mel were about to get serious.â
It was hard to stop Efil who tried to shoot the fire Godâs bow from the balcony, and Melfina, who was trying to intercept her with her spear. If Rion hadnât broken in, it would have been worse by now. The garden could have collapsed easily.
âIâm sorryâŠâ
âAra, what did I do?â
I look at Efil and Melfina standing behind me. Efil was good, but the smiling Melfina definitely did it on purpose.
âHmm⊠Sara-chan, there are many rivals.â\n
âWhat are you talking about?â
âEh, donât worry about that! Even so, Kelvin is a little different from what I imagined from Rionâs description, but ⊠I canât do it at all!â
âWhat are you talking about!?â
Hey Gerard, donât step back from there! Iâm worried!
âBy the way, Kel-ni, is Sara-ne all right?â
âOh yeah, I couldnât help but be bothered!â
Rion and Prettya leaned forward and asked. In contrast with the cute Rion, I wanted to keep a little distance from the approaching Prettya-chanâs dark face⊠I was grateful that youâre worried about Sara.
â Now Ellie, our maid, is taking care of her. Please rest assured that she can use simple white magic. Now she is resting and calm.â
âOh, thatâs right. It is good âŠâ
âYes, I was relieved!â
Two people of different heights leaned on the sofa. I was so worried.
âOh yeah, Rion, Alex is about to evolve. Why donât you see it because itâs curled up in the living room?â
âReally!? Iâm going for a while!â
âDonât run in the mansion.â\nâHey, I know.â
You were about to start running.
Rion jumped off the sofa, opened the door to the hallway, and headed towards Alex. Along the way, she would have had a telepathic conversation with Alex, but she would like to witness the evolution of his buddy in person. Letâs leave Alex to Rion.
âGoldiana-san, although itâs a bit late, thank you for your helping Sara and the others.â
âNo, I am the one who wants to thank you! Thanks to Sara-chan, the threat of the new dungeon has been largely eliminated, and now the guild should be disseminating information to other adventurers. And Kelvin-chan, you donât have to behave like a stranger. Itâs not your relationship with me!â
When did we get along like that? Itâs good to interact with S-class adventurers, but in some other way, itâs dangerous. Gerard doesnât go one step further.
âThen, letâs be spoiled by your words. By the way, are you my opponent on the mock battle the day after tomorrow Prettya?â
âOh, are you worried about it? Rion-chan asked me the same question. I wonder if you are siblings.â
Well, I am curious. Iâve only met an S-class adventurer like the Beast King in Gown. Above all, it was worth the fight.âYeah. Iâll teach you the forms of the mock battle. First, Kelvinâs opponent is Sylvia the âIce Princessâ who was promoted to S class last year. Sheâs a very beautiful girl with silver hair. Well, thatâs unrelated to Kelvin chanâŠâ
Prettya saw alternating between Efil and Melfina. I better wonât look at them too much.
âIs the Ice Princess a blue wizard?â
âI havenât seen the actual fighting, either. Normally, the guild decided two names through the mock battle during promotion, Sylvia didnât have that. Maybe, Guild chief Rio may know that. â\n\n[Itâs a magic that is said to be a secret technique that has been passed down to successive generations of shrine maidens. Itâs been used that way for the last 300 years, so itâs no longer a secret techniqueâŠ]
Yeah. To use it in a game means that you can see it with an appraisal eye. I wonder if I will develop magic later based on that.
âThe explanation is like this. Is there anything you donât understand?â
âNo, I understand most of the time. It was saved, Prettya.â
âHuh! Donât turn that smile on me! You have an appointment with Sara-chan! And I have Uncle Gerard âŠ!â
The muscles were writhing while hugging themselves. When I saw Gerard, he was retreating to the wall before I knew it.
[Gerard, youâŠ]
[No, donât get me wrong. This one still misses his wife.]
Were you married, Gerard?
âNo, I canât stand it anymore⊠Iâm gonna let you have some free time. Oh, you donât have to worry about staying. The guild arranged accommodations first. It should be. â
âOh, thatâs right. Iâm sorry.â
Relieved from the bottom of my heart, I see Prettya off. By the way, the game is approaching the day after tomorrow. There is no early battle with S-class adventurers, but I want to practice as much as possible.
