Magne City, Pigseed Border Country

The inn "Ferry Pavilion"... one of the rooms on the second floor...

"Sally, Jane, it's been a while! I'm glad you're doing well."

Former adventurers Sally and Jane, who are executives of the Fairy Chamber of Commerce, were called by former party member Ice Stills, who came from the Principality of Artemina.

She was in charge of the "Wizard" position when she was at the adventurer party "Reika".

"I'm glad you're doing well, too.I'm sorry you came all the way. "

"Are you tired? Sit down."

Sally and Jane spoke nostalgically as they alternated hugs with Ice Stills.

"That's all right, I was just about to come."

"Sorry to interrupt, but what's the situation in the Principality these days?"

Sally cut out her feelings too early.

"On the other hand, it gets worse. Looks like the" Adventurer Alliance "is getting tighter and tighter.People's lives are getting rough, bandits are on the rise. "

Ice Stills wrinkled her beautiful face between her eyebrows as she scratched up her bright brown hair that stretched to her chest.

"How's Lunary? Have you heard from him?"

This time, Jane asked her companions how they were doing in a hurry.

"As usual, I've been able to infiltrate the Principality's regular army, but I don't have much contact with them.Last time I heard from him, he said he would do his best to be assigned to the Guard.... "

There was some anxiety in Ice Stills' expression.

At the adventurer party "Lihua", Lunary who was playing "Attacker" had no less strength than the knight, but the fact that she was infiltrating alone meant that she was always in a dangerous situation.

"Yes... I hope you're well. What about Mertalia?"

Jane felt anxious about the ice cream, stopped visiting deeply, and switched to another companion.

Jane knew that Merthaliah, who was in charge of the "tank" position, was acting together with Ice Still, so she could expect to be well, but she switched the subject to include confirmation.

"Mertalia's fine. She, Maya, and Kaya are the ones who do the front shopping.Mayakaya and Namegon are fine! "

Changing from the worried look earlier, Ice Stills made a smile.

Istil was working to gather information in the "Principality of Artemina" by forming an outward shopping group, but the actual operation was carried out by Maya and Kaya, two twin girls who were carrying cargo while Mertalia and the Adventurer were partying.

Namegon of Slug, a sluggish insect horse that was protected and made a companion at that time, also joined the pedestrian caravan as a luggage animal.

"I'm glad Mayan Kaya and Namegon are well."

Really.

Sally and Jane looked relieved.

"The underground tissue has been able to continue its activities without being extracted.Well, thanks to Hartliel and Shuki.Hartliel's information gathering is perfect, and even if something goes wrong, Shuki-san will slaughter it alone. "

That's how Ice Stills smiled.

"That's good. I don't think the leader of the Resistance Organization would be the Associate Leader of the Adventurer Alliance."

"Well, I don't think there's any shortcomings because it's about Mr. Hartliel, but it seems to be getting tighter and tighter, so be careful."

While Sally nodded, Jane worried a little.

"I know. Don't worry about me.I need to talk to you. "

What are you talking about!?

Sally and Jane reacted hazy.

"Actually... more and more people are protecting us in the organization, and it's getting tough to stay hidden.Especially since the subordinates are persistently targeted by the Principality, I think it would be safer to leave the country temporarily.I'm going to send you out to this country one by one under the guise of a traveler.Can you accept that? "

"Of course! I'll take care of it.The Pigseed Border Territories are looking for immigrants, so if you really want to immigrate, we can settle in, or we can make room for a temporary evacuation.They could hire me at Fairy Chamber of Commerce. "

"At least we don't abandon people in trouble at the Fairy Chamber of Commerce.That's what Grimm, the head of the club, and Nia-sama, the goddess of fairies, say. "

"That's good. Well, if you're careful when you're on the move, you'll be able to handle it."

In response to Sally and Jane, Ice Stills felt relieved.

The real issue she came to was about this, so I thought I had loaded my shoulders with answers as I had hoped.

"You should talk to Saya-san about this...."

Like asking yourself... Sari told me to mumble.

"Yes, Saya will be able to help you with your employment at the Fairy Chamber of Commerce.If you explain the situation properly, you'll have a safe place to stay. "

Jane, who was thinking the same thing, had power in her voice.

"That's right... you'd better explain this to me.And... I think it's time to tell the truth... "

"Yes, that's what I thought."

Sally and Jane nodded at each other.

"I think Saya-san has probably understood that something has happened since you hired me.Still, he trusted me and hired me without asking me in detail.Now is the time to explain. "

"Well, you'd better hurry up.The Grimm's next destination is the Principality of Artemina... and they're going with them.Maybe it's stronger than us... but I'm still a little worried... "

"That's right... I think it would be safest to be with Mr. Grimm... but this trip to the Principality of Artemina seems to be about defeating the devil...Even though it's dangerous... just in case you find out who you are... "

As Sari pondered... she fell off while arming herself.

"Devil!?"

Ice Stills, who was listening to them, shouted in surprise.

"I see... The Principality of Artemina is still under the influence of the devil.The Grimms caught on to what we've been working on for years.It turns out that our predictions were correct.I didn't get any more information, but I think I caught information that the Devil's Root Castle is in the Principality of Artemina.That's why Mr. Grimm is going to find out..... "

Sally explained with a complicated expression.

"So they're coming with us?Danger! Your story makes Grimm seem pretty strong... but the devil is against him...Besides, the King still hasn't given up on his royal ability.If you're in consortium with the devil... maybe it's the devil's aim...I'm looking for the royal bloodline back in time..... "

"That's right... it's still dangerous...I can't let my grandmother desperately protect and raise her into the Principality of Miso.... "

"And the other kid... is still alive in that village, isn't he?Probably the rightful blood of legends, right? "

"That's right... I came here too, and I was surprised when I first saw them.I could only think of it as an attraction of destiny..... "

"The people in that village are doomed... but if we find out they're alive, we'll be in trouble!"

Ice Stills stood up and persuaded the two of them not to boil out.

"I'll call Auntie Laurel and Agnes and explain things to Saya first.Then let Mr. Grimm make time.I'm going to apologize for hiding the truth and ask you not to take them. "

Sally said with determination.

"Yes, that's good.I want some raw information about the recent "Principality of Artemina", so I want you to join me.... "

Jane put her hand on Ice Still's shoulder as she said so.

"Of course, I'll take care of it! I'd like to see Mr. Grimm, too.Wow... you're such a nice guy, aren't you? "

Ice Stills smiled nauseously as she slapped her chest.

"Ice Still, I'm surprised you're interested in men."

Sari also had a nasty smile.

"What! I don't hate men...I just didn't meet a man who would interest me.... "

"Well, you should just look at it.Because it's not a high level of competition...It's a dimension that can't compete anymore...It's not that you can drop Grimm or not... it's the level of whether you can slip into a member of your daughter-in-law's army... cheek cheek cheek "

This time Jane laughed like a jerk.

"What is it!? I'm dying to see you more and more!"

"Have fun, fufufufufu"

"Don't hit me, cheeks cheeks cheeks"

The three laughed joyfully as they looked at each other.

I turned around and got excited with the girls' talk.
