Looking forward, Mr. Gilmouth with a ragged voice.
He seemed a little boisterous.
We donāt have Ciel and the others, so we need to keep our heads down.
āYes, Iām fineā
I look around to see if itās over, but the adventurers are still working on it.
Thatās something that takes a lot of time.
Oh, yeah!
āUm.ā
āWhat?
āHow widespread is it about me?
If my information is widespread to many people, I need to be aware of a lot of things.
āHmm? Oh, was that earlier? No, thereās no such thing as Ivy, is there?
āWhat? But just now he said he was famous.ā
āSorry, you had a problem with the way I said it. Itās famous among us, Gilmouth, in the villages and towns where the damage occurred. Gilmouth receives information about the organization and those who contributed to crushing it, but thereās a name there that Iām not used to. Besides, it was rumored that everything but his name was down.ā
āRumors?ā
āOh, itās rare for information to get laid, so there were rumors about gender, age, etc. One of the credible rumors in that, arenāt you a kid? There was something about it. Sorry, I got a little excited earlierā
Good, looks like you donāt need to be particularly careful.
But does Mr. Gilmouth and the others have a name?
Itās like a huge number of villages and towns were damaged.
The rumor of a child seems to have spread.
Hmm, like Iām not purely happy.
Is that it?
āHow could Mr. Gilmouth, knowing me⦠wasnāt there, was there? Did you notice that?
Is it just a rumor of a name and a child, something you notice?
āI have information at my place that there are top adventurers who are helping the organization. I couldnāt believe it, so I went directly to Otrewa town to talk to him. Then youāll see the young child behind you with the top adventurers. I thought it was similar when I saw it, but I was wondering if you could ask me your name.ā
āI see.ā\n
Perhaps you saw where I was with Mr. Borolda and the others.
Well, did Mr. Gilmouth notice because of that?
Then I wonder if another Mr. Gilmouth has a problem.
āIvy, thank you for crushing that tissueā
Mr. Gilmouth bowed his head with thanks when he thought his gaze was sooo right.
Iām surprised at that, and it solidifies.
I didnāt think I could keep my head down.
āHahaha, youāre surprised ~ā
ā⦠Yes, Iām surprisedā
I donāt know, I got a weird answer.
āBad, badā
āNo. But why thank you?
āGilmouth, who was the victim of tissue damage, wants to thank you.ā
āReally, thank youā
I guess that means there was a lot of damage.
Nevertheless, I was really surprised because that organization was already in the past for me.
Ivyās a good girl.
When you say it with a straight eye, itās more illuminating than you can imagine.
Shit, my face is hot.
It may be bright red.
āHahaha, youāre just a kid around thereā
Kids?
Speaking of which, I wonder how old Mr. Gilmouth is looking at you.
I think I heard āyoung childrenā if it wasnāt a mistake earlier.
⦠I have a really bad feeling about it.
āDonāt make fun of the kids.ā
I can hear Mr. Druid from the side. \nWhen I turned my gaze, I saw him standing firmly on his feet with a rubber fluff on him.
Little by little, maybe your body is getting used to it.
āBad, bad. Yeah, well, if your wife teases you about young kids, sheāll piss you off.ā
Itās not like I have a wife.
I knew it was young, but itās on!
āUm, Iām 9, so Iām a kid, but I donāt have to put it on young!
Oh, my voice got a little louder.
āCause he said he was young.
I can hear words that bother me so much!
āā What, nine!
Or Mr. Druidā¦ā¦
āYes, even if I look like this, Iām 9 years oldā
Saddest to say so myself.
I increased the amount of meals, but you canāt grow right away, can you?
Every day, I exercise I wonder if my legs will stretchā¦
Itās okay, Iām not in a hurry.
Because I plan to grow slowly.
āAh, bad. Right, right. You can crush tissue like that, so it canāt be done by young children.ā
Mr. Gilmouth looks at me and panics about what the hell I look like.
Iām sorry, Iām just being a little hypersensitive.
āSorry.ā
Mr. Druid apologizes with a little confusion.
āNo, itās okayā
Because the growing season is coming up.
Is it the meat that stretches your back, after all?
āUmā¦ā
\nI look at Mr. Druidās way of walking and he gets a little wrinkle between his eyebrows.
āIām going back because I have post-processing.ā
āDonāt worry, Iāll walk you home slowlyā
āAh, do you want me to call someone? I donāt mind a carriage.ā
āNo, Iām fine. Iāll walk home to get used to it. Itās about six hours from here.ā
Six hours?
I thought it would take about half a day, but maybe I misread the map, letās be careful.
While Mr. Gilmouth cared about Mr. Druid, he left for work.
Mr. Gilmouth is in trouble too.
āMr. Druid, can I come with you to town?
āOh, I donāt have a problem, is that good? You donāt have to worry about it. Theyāre here.ā
Three adventurers ahead of Mr. Druidās gaze.
These are the adventurers who came after the rescue team.
When Mr. Gilmouth was worried, he was giving instructions to come home with Mr. Druid.
āMr. Gilmouthās pace, think itās too fast for meā
āI see. So nice to meet you.ā
Join Mr. Druid on his way to the adventurers.
They seemed to notice, too, and came closer to me.
āSeniors, theā¦ā
Were you an adventurer in Mr. Druidās junior years?
āNever mind. But itās your day off, and they drove you out.ā
To this word of Mr. Druid, one adventurer speaks out as if he had cut a weir.
āThatās right! I was on vacation at last. Gilmouth says thereās nothing we can do about it because weāre running low! But it was a really nice day off.ā
Sounds like there are a lot of things going on in Alltown, too.
