After I solved the fake Mairi kidnapping, I asked four of the Beautiful Girls squad I saw in good time at the guild for a personal escort quest.

Everyone replied two times, including the leader Eyre.

Since then, the castle has become busy.

"Master Loran, I want you to listen to me. May grabs my tail and tries to pull it."

After breakfast, as I was preparing to go to work, a half-crying Llang came to my room.

Okay, okay, and as I stroked my head and tried to comfort him, Meili rushed in, too.

"Loran, no, no. I'm not pulling, I'm not pulling. 'Cause it's Moffmoff, and I was just touching it."

"Either way. Stay close to me."

I'm stuck with Meili, so all the escorts were supposed to come to the room.

"... May, I'm bored... Sako's next, Llang"

Says Sands of Dwarf in a whisper.

The appropriately named 'Sako' seems to have settled in as Tunorabi's name.

"I'm not bored. I'm taking good care of you."

"I forgot to feed you before, so I did it, didn't I?

When Eyre smiled, Meili, who had forgotten to feed, looked up.

"Oh, to your mother, don't... don't... Sako, because they'll throw you away"

"It's okay. I didn't say anything to Lady Late."

Well, to Meili stroking down his chest, Eyre continued.

"But it's not just about adventure, it's about studying properly, right?

"Ugh..."

"Otherwise... you don't have to say any more, do you?

To the smile of a powerful eel, Meili looked over at me.

"Loran, Eyre is mean......"

"You didn't. That's what happens because you're running away from what you have to do."

Llang, hidden behind me, showed his face.

"Really? May will try to skip soon."

"... but right behind it, Llang always plays with Sako, making noise, interrupting"

"Llang, stay out of Mairi's way"

"Sands, why are you telling the truth? No, you can't tell Master Lorraine."

It was Llang who was in the unexpected betrayal of Sands.

Or you'll be the first one to start telling me.

"Princess Alias, it's time to study."

Meili swelled when I tried to kick him out.

"Lorraine, she's going to work right away. He won't play at all when he gets back."

"Hehe, Master Loran, the lady's stubborn, isn't she?

Eyre said amused.

Roger and Su are watching this from outside the room.

"Now, your job is to study."

"I don't like it. If you play, I'll study."

"I'll play you when I study"

"Mmmm...... fine then. Hold me. Take me to your room."

He wasn't going to give me any more concessions, so I held Meili up and supported him with one arm.

"It's sloppy. I want Lorraine to hold me too."

"... Loran's back, I got it"

Sands snapped on my back.

"Then I'll lend you one arm."

When Eyre put his arms together, Roger pointed at me.

"Dear Lily La, look at that sloppy face. I stretch under my nose surrounded by all sorts of women... that's what Ningen is all about"

As always, I was desperate to lower my liking.

Lyla at its feet yawned, wow, and seemed unintentional.

"Though I think Master Loran is as critical as usual"

"Suh, you... you give that ningen while being an elf...!

"The race doesn't matter, does it? Master Roger has an old idea."

Outside, Roger and Su had a dangerous gaze.

I thought the elves would feel good about each other, but they don't.

Everyone talked and couldn't pack anymore, so I pretended I hadn't heard anything and only took Meili and I came to my room.

"Study, work hard."

"Yeah."

Suru, and Lyla enter the room.

"The escorts are not here now, but for a while there will be no problem. I don't care with Lord Usa and his concubine"

That's a lot of confidence. I don't think so.

"That's Lord Usa, the owner of the fat soul who bowed the pet path."

"What the hell happened between you and Tunorabi?"

"Not to say, it is a flower. Leave Meiri to the concubines, and go."

Meili turned up a little too.

"Lorraine, please go"

"Oh, I'm coming"

Lyla and Meili drop me off, and I go down the hall. He then told the escorts, who were still making noise, to get back to work.

In front of the main gate of the castle, Miriam and Iris Branch Manager were waiting.

"Mr. Loran, it's too late." What have you been up to?

"I'm a babysitter"

"Hehe. Oh, my God, so is Loran"

"No, not so much."

We began to descend the loose slopes that continued beneath the castle.

This country is not likely to settle down yet, but if the Adventurer Guild were more widespread, there would be fewer people who would be more secure or in trouble.

That didn't mean I didn't find this job rewarding.

"... Amy, apparently Princess Alias' abduction failed"

Count Barbatos Guerrera twinkles like he's quietly talking to himself in the office.

Behind that, a woman appeared all the time.

"I know. I dropped it on you, and you're a cop."

"You did. It's my bad habit to say the same thing to the same person"

Count Guerrera signs the paperwork as he moves his feather pen.

The woman put her ass on the edge of the desk.

"Victor's story is that the man who came to the rescue moved as quickly as if he knew about the kidnapping. And Princess Alias wasn't in the captive room."

"Aren't you in the captured room? Oh, my God, Amy, did you even grab the air?

"I was definitely a princess... More than that, the problem is that there was a guy who knew about the kidnapping beforehand. He put in place some sort of countermeasure..."

"It's ugly, isn't it?"

"The Chamber of Commerce is biting one, so it's gonna be a hassle. The more people you know, the easier it is to leak information. I don't think failure is Atashi's fault."

"Well, you are. You have a lot of heads over there, but the quality is poor."

"The guy who came to the rescue broke Victor's skills in about a minute of things. To an unknown opponent, but also about a minute in action, Victor's abilities were analyzed to successfully attack. Quite hands-on. Pretty bad. It's a level of vigilance."

Count Guerrera's hand, which was moving without precipitation, stopped perfectly.

"... unusual. I didn't expect you to praise others."

Without worrying about Amy with her ass on her desk, Count Guerrera silently reads the papers.

"I sent you a letter of last resort because I can't reach you, and you haven't read that either, have you? I'm sad, Amy. It's my love letter."

"He did what he had to do. But you're lucky, Barbatos. If Atashi had read it and the contents were love letters, he'd be exposed everywhere."

Count Guerrera, not listening at all, moves his feather pen as he looks at the paperwork and blurts himself out.

"Atashi's chosen assassin for the escort, you can use it, right? Was it Secret Service Public Safety? Don't worry about him coming. They'll protect you."

"I'd like you to escort me. Jokers are my way of doing it. It's not worth the tickets that don't show up."

"Is the money going to be collected?

"Not immediately, but the prospect is gaining ground. If the kidnapping had been successful, it would have been easier."

"Don't hate me. It's good because it stands out. But it's been a while since I've seen you, and I was surprised when I heard you talk about it. I became an ambitious man at some point. Kus."

"Was crushing the kingdom of Ferrind so ambitious to you?

"I was surprised by the decadence and surroundings of the scale. You're gonna cow Baden's council and get a back shield, aren't you? I didn't think you'd think about it. For the nobility of Ferind."

"Now that King Randolph is punishing the wrongdoers, it's a good time to have the nobles of the country on his side, you know what I mean, Amy? There are fewer innocent and white lords who are not wrongdoers. It is only natural that the solemn subject should be frightened that he may become himself tomorrow. If such a man is the king of this country..."

"... if the king of this country? What?"

When Count Guerrera stopped the feather pen's hand, Amy and I met eye to eye.

"Let them disappear"

"Even so, it won't be a glimmer. There are heroes in the castle of Finlan, the king's capital. A true hero who saved the world."

"Exactly. The brave princess will eventually become an obstacle to the 'collapse of the ferrind'. I wanted to talk to you in person about this, Amy."

……

"I know, it's a joker's policy. It's a waste of time to keep it. But even you could be just as loaded."

"Let me get this straight. If that job sounds interesting, don't do it."

"Kidnapping is not a halfway job. Now it's hero killing."

"That's funny."
