Nearly a month has passed since I came to Alfheim.

Together with the magical soldiers of the Spirit Clan, he exercises until sundown and, at night, heals his fatigue in the hot springs of Alfheim's specialty.

The food is delicious, and the sleeping hammocks are comfortable to sleep with (although Crail and Elena have stormed in occasionally).

It was no different than when I came here before, and my life here was comfortable.

But the end comes in those days as well.

"Ha... are you home already...?

That's what Elena, the teardrop, asked us when we were done.

"I didn't mean to stay here long."

After about a month of neat training, the Kisses became much stronger than before.

Although imperfect, anti-magic combat techniques were also mastered in good condition.

There's still a lot to learn here.

But there's not even enough time for us to keep practicing here forever.

It's already been five months since I started raising Kiss.

That means I'm only with these guys for about a month.

I'm in a month and I want to make the Kisses an E-rank Adventurer.

If you become an E-rank, you will no longer be called the New American Adventurer.

That's why we're going back to the town of Sueya.

Life in Alfheim is comfortable and I regret every time I try to leave, but I have no choice.

"Lord Singh is not free either. I'll leave the dragon boys behind, so bear with me."

And that's where Claire came forward.

"I was just about to fix the building in Alfheim, so it would be helpful to have a man's hand ~"

"Leave it to me, Spirit King"

"By the command of the Spirit King, we too are spiritual beings."

"Please tell me what it is"

After discussing it last night, the three idiots were to stay here.

These guys can go home on their own.

If it doesn't seem possible, you can fly through space with the "Dragon King's Treasure Ball", which was given to you by the Dragon King.

So it seems the Spirit King is going to use these guys.

Since it is a favor from someone of the same size as the Dragon King, it looks like the three idiots can't go under.

For once, it doesn't mean they're going to hate these guys, too, but they're going to get a lot of consideration and work.

"Still, I'm not replacing Mr. Singh..."

Elena's expression doesn't clear.

Three fools stay, but she doesn't seem convinced.

Well, you were talking about how to convince me.

Just because you left the three idiots in my place doesn't mean what happens, Claire.

"Elena, Claire's right, I'm not free either."

"Yes... I know... so I won't do anything to hold you back any longer..."

"Right."

I don't know what to say, but Elena is a good listener.

Thank you for thinking about me, honestly.

"But I'll see you sooner or later. The next time I see you, I'm stronger than I am now, too!

…………

But Elena still doesn't seem to have given up on me.

She's still trying to be strong because she wants to be by my side.

Being strong is not a bad thing in itself.

But... should I tell you to give up on me?

It's not like I don't like Elena.

She's beautiful, (though some things are a little weird) has a good personality, and besides she has big breasts.

If such a child likes him, most of the men of the world will have joyful thoughts.

But I already have someone I like.

Technically, that would be plural, but anyway, I just don't want to do anything that would betray them.

So I tried to tell Elena to kick ass and give me up.

"Elena... you know..."

But the words were blocked by Elena.

Her fingertips gently attach to my lips.

"Could you continue that, again? Maybe the next time I see you, you'll be changing your mind."

…………

Apparently, Elena figured out what I was trying to say.

Can the Elves also read people's minds?

No, you don't.

It's just that she kind of enlightened me because I seem sorry.

As always, you're the man who can't play poker face, me.

"Well, if that's what my little elf daughter says, may I leave that to you, Lord Singh"

Claire, who was watching our exchange beside him, said so in a calmer tone than usual.

"... is that all Krall needs?

"Nothing, isn't this about Lord Singh and his little elf daughter"

I think I've been getting in the way of Elena quite a while now.

What is the wind blowing?

I didn't know what Claire was thinking, and I tilted my neck.

"But the next time we meet, Lord Singh may be the only man we can see. Be prepared for that."

"If that were the case, I would attack now more than ever and ask Singh to acknowledge me. Be prepared."

"You're as strong as ever, my little elf girl."

"It's each other."

Next to me haunting my head, Claire and Elena go ahead and talk on their own.

In the end, these two aren't sure if they're close or not.

"And isn't it time you called me by name, Claire?

"What, did you care? I'm sorry about that, Elena."

"... don't you remember it properly"

"I'm a little confident in my memory, huh?"

"Ha... well, fine"

But I guess that doesn't mean we're not close.

Fighting and saying doesn't make me feel malicious.

Neither of us seem to hate each other.

"Claire, isn't there something you can say to me?

"That way, if there's a gap, there's no words to call on those who come rubbing their breasts, etc!

And so the Spirit King snagged at Krall.

This guy doesn't always change what he does.

"Mmm, too bad... come back and see me then. Kiss and I are always here when you feel like it. Sister, you're welcome!

"Amongst other things! Sister of the Spirit King!

"If you get a chance, let me study again"

…………

"Cooli says, 'Thank you for your help,' too. Me too... well, I have a few things to say... thank you for your help"

"Master, Spirit King"

When the Spirit King said his farewell greeting, the Kisses answered it.

He's a lot of people with a lot of scratches, but it doesn't change that we've all been taken care of.

Let me thank the Spirit King, too.

"Thank you for keeping up with the Kisses' workouts. Also, I'll bring Crail here before it's too far away, so thank you then"

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to that."

I bowed my head gently toward the Spirit King.

Thus, we returned to the town of Sueya, thanks to Krall's "Dragon King's Treasure Ball".

"Mm-hmm! It's been a month since I've had a sweep, but I haven't felt it in a long time!

I came to the entrance to Sueya.

Then, at the aperture best, Kiss said so and began to look around.

Kiss is right, it's only been about a month since we left Sueya.

Still, if this is the first place I've felt in a long time, is it that life in Alfheim was intense?

In fact, the Kisses were seriously practicing, and there were fruits and vegetables that could only be eaten there, and besides, they came into contact with a rare species called the Spirit Clan.

It would have been a month that I couldn't be more interested in.

"Well, what do we do first, not to Singh? Why don't you go hunting like this?

"No, before you go hunting, I have a little something to do"

Go hunting and see how strong the Kisses have gotten, because it's not bad.

But that's after I run my errands.

In the meantime, let's ask Kiss and the others to procure supplies.

"I need help from now on. You guys get ready to go outside."

"Roger that! No to Sin!

When I gave the order, Kiss and the others walked into town.

Thus, I was alone with Claire.

"So, what is Lord Singh going to do now?

Claire asked me.

"For once, contact the teachers. If you skip this, you'll be preached later."

"Hmm, I see. Well, I'll be quiet for a while."

"It would help if you did that"

While appreciating Krall's consideration, I opened the menu screen and started calling.

It's Dr. Hayakawa.

It combines regular contact with reports of a safe return from Alfheim.

"........................... Oh, hello, is that Dr. Hayakawa?

"Ichinose-kun? Long time no see. '

Quickly, the call connected.

It's about the first time I've been to Alfheim to talk like this.

"Anything unusual or anything?

'This one is an abnormal pear. Ichinose, from the tone of your voice, you don't seem to have any particular problems. "

"Well, that's right. It's going very well."

Me and Dr. Hayakawa are having a conversation for the first time in a month.

"The Kisses are much stronger than they were before."

'It's superimposed. Then, soon, you should go look'

"To look?

Speaking of 'look', it's the name of the city in the north direction from 'Sueya'.

Over there, I've had a few trips too.

That was the biggest city in these.

But what does it mean to go there?

Not to make the Kisses see the city.

"Now look has a group of members who will do the same request (quest) as you"

"... you mean Agate, Cat, and Claude?

"Exactly."

When it comes to the members who are doing the same request as me, there are none other than those three.

Agate and Claude used to make 'calls' on a rare basis, and they looked at each other about two months ago.

But never before has everyone gathered to talk in person.

I feel like seeing how many adventurers those guys are raising, and you want to go for a little bit.

"Sounds interesting...... ok. As soon as we're ready, we'll go look."

'Right. Then, if you can safely reunite with the Dragon Palace Temple gentlemen in Luluk, we'll get back to you.'

"Yes."

I was really excited to hear from Dr. Hayakawa.

So we decided to go to look.
