The morning after the big catch (decoy).
I woke up and slowly got out of bed, raised my hands and stretched out. Last night my bedtime was slower than usual, but I seem to have slept well and I am not sleepy or tired at all. Maybe this is because I had the luxury fluffy bed all to myself.
Because until yesterday, Nicolas was sleeping in the same bed as me in fear of Leah crawling, and I told her that I got along with Leah last night...
"In that case, oniichan's room is more dangerous. I can't stay in a room like this anymore! I'm going back to my room!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Of course, Leah didn't come to my room.
When I got dressed and left the room, I ran into Nicolas like that. Nicolas, who stands in the hallway, looks slightly disturbed and has a rear wrapped around her arm.
"Li, Lia-chan, it's time to leave.
"Please, just a little more, hahahaha"
Leah's face, in contrast to Nicolas's, was melting a glossy face. Looks like Nicolas missed the reading. I mean, you flagged it.
"Good morning, Nicola, Leah... no, Liane."
"Good morning, Marc. And... please don't ever call me Leah again."
When Leah pulled her face into my greeting, she smiled and said so in a tone of silence.
"Eh, but yesterday I also needed that kind of act...."
"Yesterday, I was definitely a friend, but we're already friends, right? I would be very sad if I were the only one who thought so... but if you say otherwise, please continue to call me Leah."
I see. I see, Leah.... but that mark, "Dear"... "
"This is a testament to my love."
Answering the taste, Leah felt silent pressure not to stop laughing. It may be difficult to withdraw this... When I held my tongue, Nicolas came to me this time secretly.
Ugh...... I thought you might have broken in with a key, but I was sleeping with you like a wild beast... My guess is that Leah was supposed to crawl into oniichan's room at night... "
What are you talking about? The Countess crawled into a civilian boy the same age. Think common sense. "
"Still, if it's Leah... if it's Leah, I'm sure Leah can handle it..."
It would be pathetic to even my daughter to think that the lord is such a monarch. Unlike Nicolas, I feel like I'm just a close friend.
Celine and Esther came out in the hallway as they were standing up. Celine looks the same as usual, but Estelle is a little less energetic than usual.
Because the guards who were supposed to fight in the jail last night were quite skillful, and Mia did everything she could to get rid of one of them and bring them into the glue until she joined Esther. Looks like you're still dragging it a little bit.
"Good morning Celine, Esther. Um... Esther, how are you?
"Good morning, Mark. Well, you can't be depressed forever. Ehehe"
Esther laughs with her long ears slightly down. But Celine slapped her on the back.
"I see. It's been ten years since the chick who hasn't even become an adventurer got depressed. If you're in such a hurry, why don't you ask Mia to follow you to practice later? I don't have a chance to be stroked by Miya, who was once feared by the Territorial Adventurers Guild."
Suddenly, Estelle smacked her back, making her eyes black and white, but she quickly grabbed her fist and returned the word.
"... yeah! Me, I'll ask Miya-san!
That's my age... I don't know what Celine will do to me, but I've only known her for a long time. Yeah, yeah, I knew Estelle wasn't doing well.
"I'll ask Mia to do the same for me. Good luck, Mr. Esther."
"Thank you, Dear Leah. Good luck, Me!
These two get along well from the girls' club. Apart from Celine, who is drawing the line, it seems that I finally stood on the start line from a negative sensitivity.
So, as Leah and Esther were talking, Nicolas sneaked up to hide behind me.
"Hyiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
The smell of Leah from Nicolas, who stuck to my back, floats so intensely when she held her princess yesterday. I guess I've been wandering around all night... Even though Nicolas did a good job sleeping together, I feel a little sympathetic.

Then he entered the cafeteria with a conversation, and Trian was already seated inside. A bear appeared to have been working since last night, but his eyes sparkled brightly and he still felt a bit of leeway.
"Hey, it was a very rough day yesterday. I have a lot to report, so I want you to listen while you eat."
When Trian signals, Maiya, in her maid form, moves the breakfast wagon closer to the table and begins preparing.
Normally, the catering is done by other servants, but the cafeteria this morning is only for Trian and Mia, and Alex, the old gray-haired butler. It was easy to imagine that the report would include stories that I didn't want to hear much about.
When everyone sat down, it was a briefing with breakfast.
Let's start with Kati, who was being held captive. Kati is currently protected in the Knights' establishments, and fortunately there seems to be nothing unusual about her health. She will be the living proof of this evil, so she will be taken care of by the Knights for a while. She was supposed to send it to her village of origin as soon as it was done.
Then talk about Dalkan. When they caught him, he said he was seriously injured, but he recovered from the magic of recovery and the potion, and he was able to talk about it anyway.
The more I tap, the more dust (dust) comes out, and the more time it takes to investigate... is this a metaphor? No, let's not think too deeply.
And in the case of illegal slaves, one of the dust, which is also the purpose of this investigation, when I searched the house, they found a customer list of illegal slaves. It seems that they are also aiming to free slaves who have already been sold based on it, but there is something big in the customer roster.
In the future, Trian's face, with a snug smile, seemed to be the most enjoyable and unusual face I had ever seen.
I didn't tell you who the big guy was, but he's probably noble. You even looked bad to Leah. Of course, I didn't want to get into any more trouble, so I did everything I could without asking.
And finally, we talked about rewards. It's a matter for reflection that has come to help sometime, but I appreciate that you get paid properly.
