Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"Grandpa!

Talking to Kennel, Ashley and Beline took him out of the guild.

"Dear Ashley......! Don't run like that......!

Kennel shows Ashley how to accidentally let her hips float and stop her by hand as she rushes here for a small run. Beline next door doesn't seem to be in my eyes.

Mostly like this, I guess the two of them have done it before. If this is routine, it's definitely somewhat overprotective.

"Yeah, Grandpa. I'm feeling very well right now. As a matter of fact, Master Theodore..."

And Ashley tells Kennel about the circulating smell I did.

"What... is that true?

"Yeah, well. But it's temporary, isn't it?

"Still, yeah. You can't usually see Master Ashley doing so well. Thank you."

That's to my satisfaction, probably not good intentions. So I kept it to give an ambiguous reply.

"Ah, Theo, you."

Lucien is back, too.... Somehow people are getting together.

Forrest Bird has a good audience, so coming in front of the Kennel won't damage the adventurer's impression.

"Time to leave?

"No, I'm sorry, actually. We can't all finish building our weapons and protective equipment."

"I guess it's Killer Ant's fault"

"That's right. The clasp is kind of rattling, and the blade doesn't seem to work without grinding. Hey... it might not be finished until tomorrow"

... because you used your weapon pretty badly in the battle with the ants. Because the outer skin is so strong, the weapon is damaged when dealing with the target. What about antacid? If it's not the top species, I don't think it's a problem.

Anyway, it has to be more familiar with your hands than it is with depositing your life. I guess it just doesn't mean I should replace it.

"Well, I guess I'll have to take the inn"

"If that's the case, why don't you stay at my house?

And Ashley asked.

I can't answer anything.

"Can't you?

"… there is no reason for you to do so"

"Why?"

Ashley tilted her little neck strangely. If this is Beline, she'll figure out how much I value borrowing and all that. In the case of Ashley, it is difficult to do the opposite because there is no rush of that hand.

No...... I don't think so. You should admit it to a good cut.

I lay all sorts of things on Ashley's side. If my parents died five years ago, I wonder if that's the same reason my mother died.

So I want to put her on the shoulder as much as I want to skip some of that stuff, like it's a loss account or a loan.

That's why. That and this are going to make me want to go deeper. At any rate, if I had the power I had five years ago, I would regret my mother to such an extent that I would have been left alone.

At that price, just be special and kind to Ashley?... barren.

I don't care who he is like my mother. I don't have the kindness to live around helping him, and that doesn't make sense. That's why I want to move after I've secured a compelling motive to do anything.

For the most part, Ashley has no reason to be so emotional with me. It seems strangely trusted that she's back in shape, but even with that in mind, it must have been mere cordiality that brought her accommodation.

"Can I ask for it from Non?

"... I'll tell you what, I'm leaving early tomorrow, right?

"... I understand that."

Kennel nodded at what seemed unfortunate.

"Dear Theodore,"

Ashley calls me by name and turns back to her. Ashley said this, looking a little embarrassed.

"I just... that. I wanted to be friends with Master Theodore."

"Huh?"

I was told, I stopped a little.

Friends?

Come to think of it... I don't think there's ever been anyone in this relationship I could call that before.

That was not the case in Count's territory. If Byron and Darryl had kept their eyes peeled, there would have been no one near them.

I trust Grace, but it's closer to saying she's like a sister than a friend. I usually insist on my position as a servant.

Ashley is waiting for my response. I breathed heavily before I answered.

"... I understand, Master Ashley. Let's be friends."

So... well, okay. I have someone a little different than the others. I don't know... it's me or something.

"Good..."

"I'm going to Termwilds. I'll write to you or something."

"Yes. I'll write too"

"You're normal enough to get into trouble at a friend's house overnight."

"Yes."

Um. As much as teaching elementary recovery magic chants... nothing normal about friends, right? I know Ashley has talent. I don't even think I can teach them all by the time I leave for now, so let's leave some introductory magic manipulation tricks and chants in my notes.

Next to this story, Kennel and Beline are talking.

"Dear Kennel, Actually, yeah. I had a good idea."

Beline spoke to Kennel with a gloomy sales smile. Kennel sighs in disgust.

"What is it, fox?

No matter what they call it, Beline is the wind that blows.

"This time, it was Ashley's nursing, education that prevented Kennel-like surveillance eyes from reaching Oslo. And in addition to my job as a family order, I suppose it was because I had all the management and practice of the territory in my hands, right?

"Mm..."

"So here's a suggestion from me. - A little ear, please."

"Hmm..."

and whisper something into Kennel's ear, but the moment he hears Beline's words, his face turns red with anger.

"No. I want you to listen to me until the end of the story."

But Beline didn't seem to panic at all, and she murmured something more. So Kennel's complexion quickly subsided.

...... hmm. What kind of killing complaint did you make? Beline in the meantime is always smiling. I knew... she was black.

"What do you think? You can also refer a trusted doctor. Besides, right? Master Kennel knows best that his hands are not cut off at the moment. The important thing as a nobleman is the connection of people. I know that you will be more beneficial to Ashley's future than the status quo. And then..."

Kennel blocked the sprinkling with his hands, as he poured water through the stands.

"Got it! Got it! Ashley wants to talk to you later! Is that good!? I'll think of something else!

"Of course. I'm more than a helper here, too, but I'll do everything I can to help you, right?

That grin of Beline seemed as if she was certain of the victory.

"Not at all. Always this guy."

"Well, then, we'll find the inn."

"No, come your lords, too. Female fox. You too."

Retaining Lucian, who tried to walk away, Kennel said.

Turning to Beline, she glances over her shoulder.

"I saw the adventurer with my eyes and decided whether I should let you both judge me. I also advised Master Kennel to that effect. Everyone at Forrest Bird can be trusted and have a good population."

... When they ask if Forestbird is appropriate as a sample, it isn't. Although the guy who paints mud on the Adventurer Guild sign might just offset it in the Kennel because there aren't actually that many of them.

"By the way, what did you say to Mr. Kennell?

"Mm-hmm. Because it seems more interesting to keep quiet. Mr. Theodore will find out."

"What, that?

"You didn't plan anything wrong, did you? I'll show you what I can do, but I won't do anything wrong, because it's a creed."

... I wonder what it is, the hell.

Regardless of Beline's sincerity. That's how I made my first "friend" in this world.
