Escape And Involvement
âKuu~! Weâre outside~!!!â
âWell, strictly speaking, weâre not exactly outside yet⊠but oh well.â
Iâm with Silphy, who claimed to be a higher wind spirit. I managed to escape from that space through a cleverly concealed exit.
It seemed like some teleportation trap that sent us to the space where the undead hell spider was, and I didnât think there would be a proper way to return. But wellâŠ
I never imagined that the pedestal where Silphy was trapped would become the way back.
If Silphy hadnât noticed it, I wouldâve spent my whole life searching for a nonexistent exit in that space.
You might have noticed, but Silphy comes out of that space with me too.
Sheâs still hiding in the inner pocket of my long coat.
At first, I wondered if it was a good idea to bring a monster like Silphy along, but at that time, in that place, she did save me.
Sheâs currently hiding in my pocket, and even if people discover her, sheâll probably appear as a pixie, and I can pass her off as my tamed monster. I think.
So, with Silphy, I stepped onto the teleportation magic circle hidden in the pedestal and returned to the familiar forest, the dungeon of trees.
However, I have a complaint about the teleportation destination being right in front of a Hard Caterpillar.
I screamed in fear like an ordinary person would.
I wound up all the threads for the request and turned them into Arrow Darumas using [Magic Arrow].
Yeah, this feeling of liberation is nice.
Even though this is also a dungeon, itâs hundreds of times better than that enclosed space.
Silphy seems happy to be outside too.
âBy the way, for now, make sure not to talk about this when other people around us.â
But thereâs something I have to tell Silphy only here.
If suddenly, in the middle of the city, Silphy, who looks like a pixie, starts shouting, âIâm not a pixie, Iâm a higher spirit!â it would cause a big commotion.
I wouldnât be able to protect her in that case.
âI know. But firstâŠâ
ââŠHmm?â
As we walk towards the exit, Silphy turns her floating body around and faces me.
I wonder what it is?
âIâm hungry, so feed me something!â
ââŠOnce weâre out of the dungeon and Iâve delivered the requested items, we donât have any plans, so Iâll feed you as much as you want at home.â
âReally!? Yay!!â
Sigh⊠I never thought Iâd treat a non-human entity to a meal.
Life is truly unpredictable.
AnywayâŠ
âWhat do you plan to do after feeding me?â
âHuh? Iâm going with Kaede.â
An immediate response.
Silphy said it as if it were obvious.
âOh, I see⊠Well, itâs fine with me.â
Is it okay to decide so easily?
Well, if Silphy herself, or her true form as a high spirit, is fine with it. Then I guess itâs fine.
Besides, she helped me, so Iâll treat her to as much food as she wants.
There are many things I want to ask her, like why she got trapped in that crystal and various other things.
âWell then, letâs leave here quickly. Silphy, make sure to stay hidden in my pocket.â
âYes!â
Now, weâre almost at the exit.
Honestly, I feel like Iâve willingly taken on trouble. But Iâll figure it out somehow.
***
âPhew, we finally made itâŠâ
After leaving the Tree Forest Dungeon, I went to Trans, where Masa-san, who requested me to collect the Hard Caterpillar threads, was located.
I finally made it to the entrance.
But it was really âfinallyâ.
Normally, it wouldnât be so exhausting, but Silphy, who saw the town along the way, said things like, âThe human town has grown quite a lot,â and tried to fly off, or said things like, âThat looks delicious!â and tried to go somewhere. There were a lot of things. Well, a lot of things for sure.
By the way, Silphy is currently quietly staying in my pocket.
Or rather, I made her stay there.
Well, if I said I made her, itâs not entirely accurate, but when I explained what would happen if people found her, she nervously went back into my pocket voluntarily.
âK-Kaede~ Can I come out already?â
âWell⊠wait a little longer. Itâll still take some time.â
âOkay~!â
Such an energetic response.
Although her voice is so small that only I can hear it.
Considering sheâs been in that space all this time, I understand her eagerness to move freely as soon as possible.
âAlright, letâs go then.â
To report the completion of the request and make it possible for Silphy to move around freely.
âExcuse me~.â
I head towards the reception desk to have Masa-san call.
Fortunately, I found the receptionist here who always calls Masa-san for me, so I approach her.
âOh, Amamiya-san. What can I do for you? Are you here to report Tachibana-sanâs request again today?â
âYes. I completed the request to collect threads from fifteen Hard Caterpillars and another request to gather leather from ten Machbulls, so I came to report and make the delivery.â
âI understand. Please wait a moment.â
The woman listens to my explanation and uses the internal line to call Masa-san for me as usual.
Now, all thatâs left is to wait.
âHere you go. I just called Tachibana-san, so please wait a little.â
âThank you very much.â
With that said, I moved away from the reception desk, settling into my usual spot, and waited.
Within 5 minutes, Masa appeared from the elevator
âSorry to keep you waiting~. Kaede-kun!â
He exclaimed, waving her hand and approaching me.
His energy and enthusiasm were as high as ever.
By the way, speaking of Masa-san, he wears a red shirt with a deep neckline, which accentuated his ample chest.
It was quite eye-catching, especially his well-defined pectoral muscles.
ââŠKaede, Kaede! That guy over there is amazing!â
âHey, keep it down. And that person is not a guy; theyâre an effeminate man.â
Silphy whispered excitedly.
Silphy was speaking excitedly. But itâs no wonder someone would be surprised upon seeing Masa for the first time.
However, heâs a genuinely nice person. Despite his impressive appearance.
I didnât bring Silphy home and decided to report to him directly.
Thatâs involving him in matters related to Silphy.
âHello, Kaede-kun. Iâve come to pick up the Hard Caterpillar Threads.â
âHello, Masumi-san.â
âYes, hello. Can I receive 15 Hard Caterpillar Threads and 10 pieces of Machbull Leather?â
âAh, sorry about that. Masa-san, thereâs something Iâd like to discuss. Is there a place where we can talk?â
ââŠHmm, let me think. Alright then, shall we go to our usual spot?â
âPlease.â
âGreat, come along.â
I was so happy to be able to see him.
Iâm sorry, Masa-san.
If it were the Silphy from before we went outside. I wouldnât do something like this. But when I saw Silphy in the town, I felt like I couldnât handle the situation alone.
