At night, it's a separate residence in Silver Bottle Pavilion.

Beatrice Silver was in charge of the Guild Intelligence department.

Five women talk in a bedroom upstairs, where they meet in the living room on a daily basis. Beatrice, Sakya, Liza, and Leonid's granddaughter, Thio, who moved to the Silver Bottle Pavilion, and Rico the Tiger tribe.

"Savior, when are you coming back? Rico, I want to stay here until then. I can't go home until you touch my tail again...."

"I didn't think you'd be away for that long, but it's going to take a little longer."

"... Beatrice, is the magic okay? They don't seem to smoke much from us."

Sakuya is worried when she realizes that Beatrice looks a little clear. Beatrice smiled and approached Lisa's seat, pouring tea into the empty cup.

"Ah, thank you...."

"... Liza has been drinking with Dick before. Master's magic is just a little inside your body....."

"Hah... ah, you're sucking my magic...? I don't remember the magic of the Master."

"Drinking alcohol in the seat next to the Master can also affect you. Sometimes you apply Enhanced Magic to your Alliance when you accept requests."

"... when the Master returns, I wonder if he can cast a spell on me."

Though this is a dramatic idea, it was clear that Thio was recruiting a year-long admiration for Dick.

Sakuya and Liza have been leading Tio since he joined Intelligence, but wondered where his thoughts about Dick came from.

"... ah. Does Tio hear about Master from Mr. Leonid?

"Yes, because my grandfather is a big fan of Mr. Dick. When I was working with Dick, when I was in a good mood after drinking alcohol, he told me about me as a courageous legend... like a brave man who came out of a fairy tale... ah..."

With a quick mouth, Thio returns to me. When she stood up with too much momentum, her forehair, which was always hiding her eyes, was disturbed and her face was exposed.

"Eh, uh... Thio, you have a pretty face, so why don't you raise your hair?

"I, uhh... I'm sorry, let me tell you what happened..."

"Never mind, we also understand Leonid's relationship with Master. I often came to the store to praise the master."

"That's right, when that uncle comes, it's so lively...."

Liza looked as if she were looking far away.

Even if you think it's only been a year, you think it's been another year.

If Dick had been in that tavern this past year, pretending to have drunk and watched over this king's city.

As the master of Silver Bottle Pavilion, if only he had guided us.

None of the guild members left Silver Bottle Pavilion in Dick's absence. Ligel, who relied on Dick, has changed considerably, and Liza also serves as an assistant to Sakuya, serving as the chief of Intelligence.

"... ah, you can't do that. If you say you miss the Master...."

"Nh... hiku... gugu..."

"Li, Rico-chan...."

Rico burst into tears and hugged Liza. What Dick and Miralka helped her with, and what she did as a representative of the Tiger tribe to repay the favor. Lisa's chest hurt when she didn't see Dick.

"I... really need you to come home..."

"... absolutely."

"Hyi... when did you come in? Etna."

Etna Feldor, Master of White Goat Pavilion. Limserit and Dick's followers, she was allowed to visit the museum from time to time during Limserit's stay.

However, Rimserit is absent only during the visit. What would she do then?

"Having a meeting in this room means... can't we stay today?

"Unfortunately, I'm in charge of Dick's bedroom while he's away...."

Between Etna and Beatrice, there is a quiet spark - Sakuya calms down, but Liza strokes Rico's back, but her face is a little pale.

"Ah, um... is the bed in this room that Dick used?

Tio enters the fight there. Etna has long, sliced eyes, and Beatrice has almond-shaped eyes of different colors, staring at Thio.

The times of tension - and...

The three smiled and the air soothed. Liza breathes relief and Sakuya relaxes from her vigilant rabbit ears.

"I'm washing the sheets, so there's only a small amount of incense left. That's what I'm checking out."

Sakuya says in a pale tone - and after a while, her cheeks turn red.

"I knew you were Sakuya... right?"

"No... Master and I have a relationship of trust based on employment."

"There's nothing to be ashamed of. If you know who Dick is and what he does, it's natural to have respect. I naturally want to dedicate everything to myself."

"Eh... Etna. I've been thinking about it for a long time, but in that expression, you'll get the wrong impression....."

Despite Sakuya's allegations, Etna did not move at all, and she put her hand on her cheeks and smiled brightly.

"I'm always going to tell you what I think... well, you might get scolded by Mr Rimserit. It depends on what Dick thinks."

"Master is so serious, even if you are seduced by a beautiful woman like Etna, it won't shake easily.

"... I'm not tempting... I'm not attractive as a woman, and if there's anything I can show Dick, it's just faith."

Sakuya and Liza feel relieved by seeing Etna with her true face. As more women think of Dick, they are worried that they will visit a considerable shura.

"... the current situation is difficult enough. Master, maybe he won't come back."

"I don't know what you're talking about... but the Master will definitely be back. Rico has nothing to worry about."

"Ah, um... Rico, I've been talking to the villagers. Now I don't discriminate against the beast in King's Landing. That's why... I want to join the Savior's Guild!

When Rico offered, Sakuya and Liza looked at each other.

Sakuya wondered what Dick would say, and if he wasn't there, she thought it would be better to put it on hold until she took the decision.

"Now... I'm going to show you what kind of work is right for you by temporarily joining."

"Nh... I did it! Rico, I'll do my best to help!

"The Tiger clan can silence the footsteps, right? Is that as good for Intelligence as we are?

Rico and Lisa share joy with each other. Beatrice smiles as she looks at the two of them.

"Beatrice, I need you to stay alive until Master returns...."

"... yes. Now, for a moment... Sakuya-san, thank you very much."

Beatrice, with Sakya's forgiveness, turns around behind her and puts her hand on her shoulder.

"Nh... I'm getting a little bit nervous... does Master always give magic like this...?

"Master, even with my skin, it was very calm."

"Ah, my skin... is that what this is about?

"Dear Dick, I can't believe you have such a relationship with LaceQueen... and I think there's nothing more worthy of the name 'Master'."

"? The Savior is the master of the Ghost Man....? In that case, I have to call Rico Master...!

Rico is affected by Etna's ecstatic remarks. Liza was blushing and delusional, and Thio was already asleep in Dick's bed.

"After all these days, we don't have a body either....."

"Yes... the magic Dick gave me is the sweetest thing for me."

Sakya did not complain about Beatrice's words that her magic was not so good.

Sakuya also thinks that Dick's presence is irreplaceable. There was no waver in his determination to remain a member of the Alliance so that he could return whenever he wanted.

◆ ◇ ◆

Gardens of the Royal Palace of Lattice. A fountain blowing up with magical power creates a fantastic sight under the moonlight.

Mermaire opened an envelope that had arrived during the day and sat reading it in a decorative chair placed in the garden.

After the Republic of Berbekia accepted the request for a truce in the Kingdom of Albain, Lattice became national with Albain. Albain has also restored national ties with Elsein, the demon kingdom, and has moved to maintain stability in the continent by interacting in the same way with Latticus, the same demon kingdom.

After connecting with Albain, he began to give each other's specialties by riding dragons, to which Verlaine deposited a letter addressed to Mermaire, to which Mermaire also replied.

"... he hasn't come back yet."

"Lord Mermaire, are you here? The maid was worried because she wasn't back in her room."

It was General Ginada who spoke to Mermaire.

General Ratclis' facial expression has been replaced by the departure of Glasgow and the assignment of Volks to the garrison of the Magic Lab. General Shade is still alive, but he left the Royal Palace of Ratclis and returned to the eastern development mission he had undertaken before the civil unrest began.

"... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ask. That person is still....."

"Yes... it looks like Dick hasn't returned yet. Verlaine's sister is still waiting for him to return at Silver Bottle Pavilion."

"I see... but, Lord Duke... no, if you were Dick, you would definitely make it back."

While Ginada was acting with Dick, who was using his makeshift name, she was treating them like friends. But when Dick and the others rescued Lattice and returned to Albain, they began to speak with respect.

"... Glasgow is leaving the country to serve Dick. I couldn't have imagined that at the time of the civil unrest."

"Yes... but Dick has the appeal of attracting any opponent. Both Glass Goal and Sharon serve Dick, and I'm sure every day will be full."

"Dick is not in King Alvinas right now. I'm sure they're all feeling lonely...."

Ginada returned to her tone of voice when she dared to act with Dick and the others in front of the princess.

Looking at her like this, Mermaire feels that Ginada has the same sister-like inclusiveness as Verlaine.

"... Ginada. I know it's impossible, but I need to ask you something."

"You want to visit the Kingdom of Albain after this country has settled down. It may take the form of a history that includes Elsein, but I think it is possible."

Mermaire was surprised by what she was about to say - laughing at Ginada as if she was in trouble.

"Did I seem so eager to go to Albain?

"Love trouble can't be stopped... even if you're a princess"

"... I'm sure I won't tell you what I think. But I'd like to see Dick again and see where he's happy. If I can see where he lives in peace, that's all I can do...."

Before Mermaire finishes, Ginada embraces a princess smaller than herself.

Ginada, who always wears armor as a knight, is now wearing a feminine dress after a party to celebrate a year after the civil unrest in Lattice. Mermaire felt so embraced and softly wrapped by her.

"I think you'll forgive me for commemorating this reunion. I think Verlaine is aware of Mermaire's feelings."

"... is that okay, even if you're looking for something so luxurious?"

"If you don't, you'll regret it forever. You won't be punished for anything you remember."

"Ginada-san....."

Mermaire moisturizes her eyes by looking at Ginada's merciful expression. When Ginada wiped the princess's tears with a handkerchief, she blushed her face and made a face she could never see when she acted as a knight.

"... when I saw him adoring his daughter Sphere, I noticed that I was relieved. I should have thrown away a woman's happiness, but it's hard to say this."

"That's not true... Ginada thinks about Dick..."

"Fufu... I wonder. As a supporter of Her Royal Highness... no, it would be a private use of authority..."

Seeing Ginada begin to seriously worry, Mermaire smiled.

The smile doesn't even shadow the sadness of the kingdom as it moves to save it. It was the expression of a maiden who enjoyed a little mischief according to her age.

"Ginada will accompany you as an escort. This is my request as a princess."

"... it's not an order, it's a request."

"Yes, because Ginada and I are accomplices... if we were to say this, would we sometimes get scolded for seeing Dick?"

Ginada imagines Dick's reaction.

I don't want to actively come forward, and don't miss out on important things. And I have the conviction that what I say will always be achieved.

Above all, he is weak to women - if you change your language, he is kind to women. It seemed to Ginada that Dick would have become more acquainted with women before he met her.

"... I'm going to practice riding dragons for the first time in a while tomorrow. Would you like to join us, Mr. Ginada? I'm going to see how the castle and the castle of Rugenta are doing."

Ginada thinks it's the princess's seriousness not to tell her to go to Albain with patience. But the offer was more appealing to her than she could accept.
