11 – Night Guest – 1

[You have achieved ‘The Master of Healing’.]

Wow. take this now

While I was checking my new achievement, Lucille, who was sitting among the corpses of monsters resembling wild boars, gasped for breath.

“hahaha…”

The reason why he was breathing so much was because he fought while using his mana to the limit. She couldn’t even hold the sword in her hand properly.

Lucille was said to have great talent as a child. After that, I locked myself in my room and couldn’t use that talent.

It is said that swordsmanship and magic were also of a high level.

Although she hadn’t trained for a long time, she was able to do her part well enough, probably because it was an easy quest.

“Eheh.”

Seeing Lucille stand up holding my outstretched hand, the werewolf shaman blinked one eye and smiled.

Our quest was to gather mushrooms in the forest.

However, there was one reason why I fought so fiercely with monsters.

“Wow. It’s been a long time since I’ve caught so many monsters! Sages! Have you tried that monster fish? Ah. Humans can’t eat it? But when you eat that, it’s really delicious. If you come to our village later, the famous monster wild boar steak is excellent. Please try it once. My older sister is really good at it. And over there, Miss Lucille?

Even with that favor, Lucille looked at him resentfully. The werewolf boy grinned.

“You can eat and drink as much as you like in the town if you name Wilker’s Strydom! I’m the strongest shaman in the town! That’s right. You haven’t seen my magic right? Shall I show you? So…”

Lucille’s expression was getting darker. She gently touched her ear lobe, as if her ears were hurting, and eventually looked at me.

I blew a beetle on the shaggy forehead of the guy who fluttered incessantly, forcing him to shut his mouth.

– Right!

“Ouch!”

“Will you please shut up?”

“Ah! That’s right! I’ve never been hit by my father before!”

You’ve become like this because your father didn’t use a club.

If I ever need to go to that village later, I’ll be sure to tell you.

If you need it for your child’s education in the future, you can lose a little bit.

If I speak directly to you as a sage, you will take it seriously.

“…Uh… why… I heard it’s an easy request…”

He smiled even more at Lucille’s muttering, which was quite exhausted.

There is one reason why I met so many monsters in the very easy mushroom collection quest.

this guy

It was because of the great tension of the werewolf shaman boy and his chatter so loud that it hurt his ears.

Talk like that in a quiet forest where you can hear only the sound of birds or running water.

The monsters don’t come and exhaust.

Whether or not he knew he was troll, he was still bright.

To the point where I want to beat one more.

Anyway, I got the requested mushroom. I gathered a large mushroom under an oak tree, put it in my bag, and stuck my staff into my waist.

“Ha… Ha… Master… I… I’m at my limit… Yo…”

Lucille was always quiet. To match her mood, the ladies-in-waiting belonged to the silent side.

However, it seemed that he had lost his mind halfway after dealing with such a noisy, and quite a lot of monsters that were summoned due to that noise.

Tsk tsk. How can I survive in this harsh world?

“Let’s go back at once.”

“Ah. It’s a pity. I want to go out with you a little more…”

“…Go back.”

Oh oh.

Lucille glared at him coldly and said something.

Self-deprecating Lucille at the bottom of that self-confidence!

I said that to others!

Is it because of her bloody atmosphere?

The boy was shy, then tapped me and spoke in an uncharacteristically small tone.

“Your disciple is very scary.”

you made it scary

After completing the request, we headed to the fountain in the center of the royal capital with the exhausted Lucille.

Sitting in a quiet place, watching her calm down with the sandwich and juice the lady-in-waiting prepared for her, I took out my lute.

“ah…”

“Do you want to just eat quietly?”

Reducing stress with a musician’s skill is also an achievement.

In particular, the effect is better when I listen to the performance while eating, so I want to do it when I can.

When I asked as I tapped the lute, Lucille took out a sandwich from a basket, bit it lightly, and smiled.

“Aren’t you eating?”

“I usually don’t eat lunch.”

“Umm…then please.”

I plucked the untuned strings a few times. It’s been a long time since I’ve been playing a street musician.

Sitting in front of the fountain, I plucked the strings of the lute for the only spectator.

ding ding. In line with the sound of water in the fountain, a clear and beautiful sound from the lute begins to resonate.

Thanks to playing along with the main story, I’ve never heard anyone say that my lute skills aren’t good enough.

That’s why people who seemed to have come to rest or to date stopped walking and started adding to my audience.

-Tiriling…

One song was finished, and Lucille seemed quite comfortable.

“Wow!”

“One more song, please!”

“Here you go!”

Couples smiled and handed out a coin or two, probably because they played a calming song with a good atmosphere. But I’m not short of money, so do I need to get this?

I politely returned the money to them and asked Lucille.

“Are you all right?”

“Yes. But Master’s performance… It’s really amazing. I think he’s even more amazing than the musicians in the royal palace.”

“It’s too much praise.”

It’s not a joke, it’s a real exaggeration.

Those guys can play much better than me.

I’ve listened to it from time to time, but I can’t seem to be an expert.

“It’s true.”

“They say that performance is different depending on the listener’s mood.”

“Ah… then that…”

After hesitating for a moment, Lucille looked at me.

“For others in the warrior party…”

Instead of answering Lucille, I grinned. Perhaps realizing that meant not to mention, she lowered her head slightly and shrugged her shoulders.

“I’m sorry.”

“You apologize right after you’ve made a mistake. As expected, the princess is really amazing.”

There are a lot of people who can’t do that either. I put the lute in, recalling the people I had met so far.

“Then shall we go?”

“Yes. Returning to the castle…”

“no.”

“…yes?”

“I’ll go second.”

It’s still only noon. There was plenty of time left for the day to pass.

Shouldn’t he at least run three tangs? Lucille blushed at my explanation, but she had no intention of looking at it.

“Uh-uh… Who am I going with this time?”

“I do not know.”

It doesn’t matter who you go with.

Anyone can be a troll.

“But you’re not going with him… are you?”

Lucille, very nervous, spoke cautiously, and I nodded. I heard earlier that he is taking a break this afternoon.

As soon as we returned to the Adventurer’s Guild while having such trivial chatter

“Crystal gathering in Triven Cave…? The participant is… Keith Wishtea? But where is the Triven Cave…”

Lucille tilted her head and stiffened.

It was because of a voice from behind.

“Ah! You know the Triven Cave! The Triven Cave is a cave discovered by Electra, an A-class adventurer, 300 years ago. The first floor is where Giant Bats and Giant Rats live. It’s not that big, but you can easily get there. Crystals that are present are of great help in improving magical power. Here, there are three types of crystals that are helpful in increasing magical power and divine power…”

Lucille looked at me with a face about to cry as a huge amount of information flooded in.

“Uh, uh… that’s Keith Wishtea…?”

I nodded as I saw the explanationist priestess pushing up her glasses and continuing her explanation.

he’s right

It was the musician who decorated the end of the long-awaited outside practice.

Of course, I wasn’t just a musician.

“Oohhhhh! The evil inside of me is coming out! Oohhhh!”

The pig-headed monster was in pain, perhaps thanks to the debuff of the musician who flicked the lute like crazy, and was struck down by Lucille’s magic.

The horned Draconian player with long hair, black studded leather clothes, white scales tattooed here and there, and a pattern on his forehead that means ‘kill’ in the Dragonian language grinned.

“Yes. Peace.”

“Blood, blood.”

To think that the musician who had just been playing the lute while headbanging and shouting madly as if possessed by a ghost ended up with a piece.

Still, Lucille struggled to sympathize, even with a half-hardened, wriggling face, even though her musical views must have been quite different.

And he looked at me as if he was unfair.

Lucille’s reaction was understandable, as I was relieved to hear that the adventurer I was going with at the end was a musician.

The musicians she knows aren’t like that.

However, the role of a performer is not necessarily to relieve stress.

There are definitely offensive musicians who inflict debuffs on enemies with bizarre performances.

Of course I can do that too.

However, it’s not included in the achievements, and it’s one of the skills that I don’t use often because I have a lot of memories of using it after doing it.

“Okay. Now that we’re done, let’s go back.”

“Hey~ Sage-sama. It’s been a while since we’ve been together, but as expected, isn’t that tanking skill going?”

“Well, with this much. Drag. You worked hard.”

“Are we together again next time?”

Before answering, Lucille grabbed the hem of my clothes.

Shaking my head.

I smiled at the crying woman.

“Think about it. Come on. Then let’s take it.”

After collecting the requested items, we immediately returned to the adventurer’s guild.

At the same time as the report ended, today’s long class ended.

“How was your day?”

“…well, I made myself look so big…”

It was a perfectly normal answer.

Because all the writers I went with today were just the ones with a little too much taste.

The same goes for Wilkers, who made a lot of noise during the quest and called the monster.

What would you say about a case where you lost sight of a group of bats while working as an explainer in a cave that should be quiet?

Even Dreg, a musician who inflicts debuffs that make even his allies suffer.

All of them were great trolls.

I laughed at Lucille, who said in a rather noble way, “Where did you bring only these guys?”

“So I told you. The princess is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.”

“Haa… What kind of people did Master meet with…? No, I think it’s really amazing that you’re still so fine.”

“hahaha.”

“And… you’re close to those people… how bad they did to Master…”

The ‘they’ you’re talking about over there must be a warrior party.

I just laughed and passed the answer, and Lucille didn’t ask anymore.

“Ever since I was young, I heard that physical is a piece of paper if the mental collapses, so I just worked hard on mental training.”

“ah.”

“And the outside classes aren’t over yet.”

“Are you going to do it again?!”

“Yes. This will help the princess improve her skills, so please come along.”

“Yes…”

At the word class, Lucille nodded with difficulty.

Talking about this and that, when we arrived at the palace, the castle was a little crowded.

When I asked the knight who was in command, the hero and General Leoden came to move the supplies that were to be sent to the battlefield today.

Because of that, he said that there was confusion on the border and inspection side of the castle, and he asked for your understanding, so he said yes.

Lucille flinched slightly when she heard Claire’s name, but that didn’t matter either.

“I… Master. They say the hero has come…”

Lucille grabbed the hem of my clothes as if she was worried that Claire would approach her recklessly like last time.

“it’s okay.”

“But… ah! Hey, how about staying with me tonight? I practiced that card too… I play the game until late… Then it’ll be difficult for the warrior to approach you…”

As if she had suddenly remembered, Lucille grabbed my clothes with her eyes twinkling.

Well. Playing card games until late is not a bad suggestion for me, who is serious about card games, but I think it will be a bit difficult today.

If there is any confusion on the border troops or command side, the event will be held today.

“Princess must be tired too, so you should rest. You worked hard today… Let’s have class tomorrow afternoon.”

Lucille, who was sullen at the fact that she couldn’t play card games, was delighted like a child who had just celebrated her birthday, probably because of the word that tomorrow was a general class.

In the meantime, the ladies-in-waiting, who had been following her all day in camouflage, approached wearing maids-in-waiting suits.

Lucille bowed slightly to me while being escorted and attended by them and headed to Baekam Palace.

and.

While she was moving away, I searched the surroundings, and eventually, through the archer’s skill, Hawkeye, I noticed something in a black robe moving toward Baekamseong in the distance.

It’s today too

ruler. Then let’s go.

A task to be handled in the palace during the ‘Pale Moon’ event.

to stop an assassination attempt on the queen.
