Ariamel, who had taken Nina and the others to take a nap, hasn’t returned in a while, so when I went to check on her, she was taking a nap with Nina, Stella, and Ratz in my room.
I put blankets on the four happy sleeping faces and quietly left the room.
The Hero… No, I still don’t know if the Hero is aiming for Emilia and the others, Iska and the others, or neither.
I’ve asked Emilia and the others to protect the children in case of emergency, and either way, I’m still going to do what I have to do.
“Ah…Gray-san. What about sister Aria?”
When I get downstairs, Iska talks to me.
“She’s taking a nap with Nina and the others, be quiet.”
At my words, Iska and Fio looked at each other and nodded, then resumed their studies.
They’ve been working really hard lately… Maybe the day when you start practicing in earnest is near.
As I got up to make them both a cup of tea, someone knocked on the door of the house.
Guests, who are they…Emilia and the others?
“I’ll handle it. You two keep studying.”
I stop Fio from trying to get up.
“Yes, then please.”
I move to the front door and speak without opening the door.
I put my hand on the grip of the sword, just in case I need to pull it out at any time.
“Who is it?”
“It’s me. I’m here to share some information.”
It was Emilia’s voice that I heard from the other side of the door.
“Oh, I’ll open it right away.”
Was there any progress?
When I opened the door, Emilia was standing alone.
“Are you alone?”
“Hmm…is it bad?”
“No, it’s not good to talk while standing. I’ll at least offer you some tea.”
‘…I’m flattered by the invitation, but Kasha wants me to come back as soon as I can. Sorry.”
Emilia said so with a disappointed look on her face.
For a long time, Emilia has always had respect for Kasha. That hasn’t changed since she formed “The War Maiden”.
“I see, then tea will be next time. ……So what’s up?”
“Ah… Harsalia says the hero has left the forest. If they head straight for this town, it shouldn’t take more than half a day. Let’s take care of each other.”
I see.. Once they leave the forest, we won’t know where the hero is…if that’s the case.
“I understand. If something happens, I’ll be on my way to help you.”
“Um… I’m counting on you. And I’ll give you this.”
Saying that, Emilia brings out two small red stones.
“…this is”
“It’s a magical tool for communication. It cannot directly convey words, but if you hold one stone in your hand and think, the other stone glows strongly in response. I will give you one of them, and you can use it if something happens. If you use it, I will come to your aid immediately.”
This magical tool is originally used when a party dives into a dungeon, and it is said that it can be used to determine the general location of the other party. Since it is relatively inexpensive, some adventurers carry it as a talisman.
…something I never saw when I was in a party. Even though I’ve been solo for a long time and haven’t dived into dungeons, I didn’t learn enough about it. I’ll buy some for Iska and the others next time and let them have them.
“Okay, you too…”
“Oh, of course I’ll use it if something happens…I’ll be counting on you then.”
After seeing Emilia off, I entered the house.
The hero is already close by… maybe something will happen tonight.
I put the stone in my pocket and return to the living room where Iska and Fio are.
“Ah, Gray-san, who was the guest?”
Fio noticed me coming back and opened her mouth.
“Oh, it’s Emilia. She’s gone home because she’s done what she came to do.”
“Emilia-san from the other day…?”
“That’s right. The blonde swordsman is an old party member.”
Fio and Iska heard this and started whispering something.
I went back to the kitchen to prepare tea for the three of us. They were still talking about something, but when I served them the tea, they thanked me politely.
“… Um, Gray-san.”
“Hmm?”
While I was drinking tea, Fio spoke to me with sparkling eyes.
“Is that beautiful Emilia-san your girlfriend?”
I spit out my tea.
What a sudden question…!Chapter 30
