Graduated from Witchcraft Institute

I broke up with Eileen and flew in the sky, and I flew for the fire the elves lit.

And when he came close and grasped the place, he returned once to the place where he had taken off his clothes, where he unraveled his transformation (metamorphosis) and headed on foot to the place where the elves gathered.

"Ah, welcome home, Will!

Satsuki, who admitted to me, came running over with a pat.

And when I stood in front of me, I put my hands behind my back in a twisted and lit manner, and I said this upward.

"Hey, you're tired. Want some rice? Want to take a bath? Or... Oh, yeah, yeah?

"... what are you talking about all of a sudden when you leave?"

There's always something strange about Satsuki, but this behavior reflected, among other things, a lack of sense.

I don't even think there's a bath ready for a place like this at this stage in the first place, and no matter what you think, it's a stereotype for newlyweds.

... No, I see.

Are you saying this is a joke about soothing me when I'm tired from reconnaissance?

Then it would also be Xiao Zhi who returns it in a joke.

I thought about it a little bit and gave it back to her.

"No, Satsuki, I changed my mind. ─ ─ Let's get you. Do you mind?

"Piggy?"

Placing her hands on both shoulders of Satsuki while imitating the shiny man protagonist as seen in some sort of adventure story, the girl in the kimono was stiff as if petrified by basilisk.

"Eh, hey, wait...! I'm just, you know, kidding, getting my mind ready..."

With that said, Satsuki closes her eyes all the time.

The joke is apparently a success.

I make a little gut pose in my heart, and I make a seed.

"Oh, this one's a joke too. It was quite fun. Jokes soften people's minds. Learn."

"Is...? ─ ─ Phew."

Get your hands off Satsuki's shoulder, then hold the girl's head.

Somehow lately, I feel cute not only for Mi, but also for Satsuki, that makes me want to have a head.

Can I call it a small animal charm?

Doing so, Mi and Cyril, who were watching us behind them, began to bluff.

"How can Satsuki believe that...... Even William's usual nature seems to be noticed."

"Really? When you're a party, you might be surprised to notice."

"Uh... there might be that. And when that happens, it's surprisingly troublesome that William insists on joking."

"Right. It's not easy to return a prepared assassin."

"I mean, I think it's good for Satsuki."

What I could hear leaking was something I didn't quite understand.

It would be a lie to say you don't care around my name being out there, but if it's a topic between them women, it's also wild to bother intervening.

Besides, if I really need to ask, they'll tell me.

I thought so and decided to get back to work for a moment.

"That's right, it's the result of reconnaissance. I didn't see any orcs in this neighborhood. The army of Orcs is now staying in the Finola Tiny Elf Settlement. I've been scouting that elf settlement too... but let's be clear, I don't want you guys to see that place. It was so miserable. I deplored the fact that the ugliness of the orc's racial nature is a huge difference between knowing it in knowledge and seeing the real thing"

When I tell her that, the three girls get a serious taste in that look.

And the next person to open his mouth was Cyril.

"Hey, William-- do you think you can win this fight?

Three gaze gathered towards me.

I choose words carefully and answer her questions.

"... I can't tell you anything. But there's a chance, and there's good news. On his way home from reconnaissance, he met Eileen and attached his cooperation. It helps her personally, not the Knights of the Nation, but it's still huge to get that monster's help"

"Is...? Why is the princess here?

Satsuki under his eyes looks surprised.

Naturally, Cyril and Mi had their eyes round too.

Well, that would be.

"I was surprised, too. They're supposed to rendezvous as soon as they're ready over there, so they'll show up in a while."

Meanwhile, as we talked about it, two elves walked over from the nearby burning fire.

It's Finola and Lefania's mother and daughter.

"William, were you home"

"Welcome home. How'd it go?

"Sorry for the delay in reporting. Let's talk the results of the reconnaissance."

That's how I explained to the Finolas the same things I told the Satsuki and the others.

That no oak was found around, that there were numerous oaks in the settlement of Finola.

He blurred some expression about the tragedy he had seen in the settlement, but when he heard it, Finola shook his neck sadly beside him, and Lefania snapped "unforgivable......" and burst his fist.

But if anger alone can win the fight, I won't have a hard time.

Finola seemed well aware of it, embracing her angry daughter and slamming her.

I think it's a big deal that Finola herself is the one who loses her true neighbor, or is abused, but still doesn't get flushed by her emotions.

Or maybe he's controlling himself by holding Lephania back.

Finola then leaks another concern as commander on the spot.

"I know what's going on with the orcs. But there are a few other problems. One is that one."

That being said, Finola pointed straight at the dark clouds that were slowly flowing this way through the night sky.

It's what I saw when I was scouting in the shape of an eagle, but it's getting a lot closer now than then.

"Those clouds will eventually make heavy rain here too. But we've moved the base out of the cave, but we're not ready to just raise the windstorm on this spot yet. If you are struck by rain all night long, everyone will be deprived of their health and a few people will catch a cold. Leaning close to Oki would lift a few points, but still..."

Finola's concerns were overwhelming.

We tend to forget that we usually live under the roof, but the ability of a dwelling to "prevent wind and rain" plays an extremely important role in people's lives.

Throwing yourself into a life-threatening battle tends to lighten routine illnesses like "catch a cold," but naturally this is not an issue that you may underestimate.

Health is all capital, and it is the same in battle.

Even good warriors like Satsuki and Eileen would even take a back to the oak if they tried to fight with a cold and floating in the heat.

Besides, you can't ignore it even if you're not a combatant, and if you can't recover health while catching a cold, you can also think of the worst case and thereby lose your life.

A person's vitality is not taken away only by a battle with weapons.

Therefore, Finola's decision to base that cave was of considerable validity.

But I didn't propose to move the base at all, either, on that point.

I give my thoughts to Finola.

"You don't mind if I leave that to you. Use the Rest (Cottage) Spell"
