"Okay. Your brothers will be away for a while."

Night.

My sisters are back, so I'll gather in the living room and tell them what's due after tomorrow.

The four of us decided to go on a dragon crusade to the Northwell Mountains after discussing it with Sylvia and the others.

I needed to ask him to be away in the meantime.

I know it's okay because Melissa and Noel are leaving voicemails, but it's essentially Chris' job to figure it out.

I'll take care of this.

"Are you sure?

It's a request you can refuse if you want to.

A request from the Adventurer Guild that would make your mind feel worse, but just spoke up to all the high-ranking adventurers. Nothing that sounds like a penalty.

"So, is that the girl Elmer's wife?

"Yes!

Dia is nervous from an older woman.

Chris, who seems sharper these days because of his work on nerves, is a little scared of girls.

"What do we do about room splitting?

"Room splitting?

"There are several rooms in this mansion that I haven't used. I can lend it to you, but I thought I'd give you a private room."

"Well, I don't care where I am."

"Rejected. I want you to think about the people you live with and live a solid life, beyond living together."

"Hino."

I changed from nervousness to fright.

I just want you to get along with me when I think about the future.

"Oh, I'm sorry"

but Chris apologized before he said anything from me.

"I've been getting nervous lately because I've had a bit of a tiresome case going on."

"Are you all right?

"No problem. If you want to rephrase what you just said, you can let me go if you want to protect even the minimum common sense."

He's really tired and his voice is depressed.

"I believe that Elmer should have someone like you beside him. She thinks about her origins and circumstances, so she needs someone like you to attack her."

"Ha..."

Chris tells me it feels imminent.

Dia is bewildered by that temper.

It was the unfamiliar Chris who had the problem in accepting Dia. I'm glad you seem to have accepted me out of my natural goodness of care.

It can be a real hassle when you couldn't accept it. I'm often away from the mansion, so I almost throw Chris round the inside. Recently, I have also managed superficial assets, so I am more familiar with them than I am with the person who earned them.

"I welcome you."

"Thank you"

"Me, too."

A glass of juice is placed in front of Dia to thank him. It has a fatigue restoring effect with juices made by squeezing sweet fruits.

Dia, who made it a priority to come all the way to Alistair and tortured her body, needs a drink.

"Just right when you're tired."

"I'll have it."

"But are you sure?

"It's okay. It's not going to change with one more person now, and we're still going to get more in the future."

It was Liana who was helping with the chores that put the juice down.

Even though Liana has a job in the Lords' Hall, she has been helping Mr. Olivia take on the chores of the mansion since she returned.

Life does not stand without her cooperation.

"How's your brother?

"Am I in the same opinion? I don't know anything about her, so I can't be clear, but at least you trust Mars."

I've just been purely chasing Elmer.

There's nothing here that could be advantageous about a political rush.

I definitely come as an individual.

Then I don't think Dia has any thoughts.

"Then wouldn't it be nice?

"That's why I'm asking for her. We have to leave tomorrow."

"It was just the north end of the kingdom."

Until the exact location of the Noswell Mountains, I just don't know.

On the other side of the kingdom. It's a distance we usually have to be prepared to not be able to come back for months, but our brothers know we already have skills we don't have to worry about travel time.

"I'm not going to take that long. A few days...... I'm going to be back in a week at least. I remain anxious to leave Dia, who has just arrived at the Mansion, thank you."

"Dragon!?

Dia shines her eyes when she hears about the subject of this crusade.

Speaking of dragons, you can call them the most powerful species of demons. I guess I had somewhere to admire as a warrior of a tribe that makes battle a business.

And the thought wasn't limited to Dia.

"Is it true!?

"We want to go too!

Elmer and Gem reacted.

I thought Gem might react, but it was surprising that he would even react to serious Elmer. After all, I guess I have something to be attracted to as a boy. In fact, if it was me back in the day, I might have been attracted to you.

"You've decided no"

I say no to the three requests kickingly.

"Why not? You took me to the island."

I did take him to the 'island'.

But at that time, exploration was the main purpose of the request, and at first the threat level of the target was not known.

But this time we clearly know the enemy is a dragon.

Later, it is also believed that there are those who control the dragon because they are making a controlled move.

Exactly. This time it's hard to fight while protecting them.

Jilly looked cold at the three people who were excited to hear that a dragon could be seen. She is the only one who knows calmly that she will put a strain on us.

"Because you can fight strong enemies."

I'm sorry to hear that, Dia, but I just don't think I can fight the Dragon against you. I just have to ask you to give up this time.

"If that's the case, there's something I'd like you guys to do."

"What would you like me to do?

"Yes, we're talking about the rehabilitation of the village."

Demons who were near the three villages due to the emergence of Kimyra are fleeing to another location, and demons who have lost their territorial struggle are pushing to human habitat.

The last few days, he had also sent people from the Knights to crusade demons.

Now if you can fight, I want a little strength. Normally, even if they are capable of combat, they will not be asked to crusade to the lower-ranked Elmers, but this time the Elmers will be asked to do so by Chris, who received the Lord's intentions.

"If you're free, help me out here."

"Okay. I think Dia should get used to the demons near Alistair, so I think it's just the right thing to do."

Demonic damage is on the rise, but so far it has been dealt with appropriately.

It was also to be carried out with the assistance of the Alistair family with regard to the reconstruction of the village. I just had some concerns during the reconstruction work.

"Karen did?

"Yes. When I was in the village, and I've just evacuated to it, people work like they've changed. It's a good thing I started working seriously, but was something wrong?

I've been lost in Alistair's slums before. At that time he was subjected to various assaults, so he was allowed to magically erase his memory as a procedure. Even if I did, I didn't pinpoint the memories in question, but I asked a large mess to specify a time period to erase the memories.

I think that affects my personality.

But I just had to answer vaguely without being able to teach you anything that could erase my memory.

"He's finally starting to feel like a village chief's wife after all these things."

"I hope so..."

Chris is not convinced.

I want to get rid of the uncertainty element as someone who goes ahead with the reconstruction plan, so if there's anything suspicious, I guess I even want to know what caused it.

I haven't seen Karen since I erased my memory.

Maybe he just really got into a crisis situation and revamped it, so I'll leave the village thing to him.
