Asta hasn't stepped out of his room for the past few days. I'm not sure what to make of this, but I think it's a good idea.

But still. There's a limit to how much you can take. The proprietress of the inn had asked me for advice, and I decided to check on her survival.

I unlocked the door and entered the room.

Her clothes were haphazardly thrown away on the floor, and the books I had given her were piled up on the table like a mountain. And on the bed was a tall, beautiful woman in her underwear on her back, sleeping in a big bed.

...... This guy was a woman?

It was obvious from the twin mounds that were still asserting themselves. I've always thought he looked like a woman, and his voice was strangely high pitched and creepy. I didn't know it was really a woman. Well, it's a surprise, but it's not important.

I walked over to the window and opened the wooden window wide. Then I grabbed a wooden bucket and a broom from the corner of the room and started beating on it with the handle.

"Come on, get up! Get up!

Dazzled by the sun's rays, Asta squinted and lifted his upper body off the bed, letting out a big sigh as he looked around, but his gaze collided with mine.

He immediately pulled his chin back to check on his half-naked state, and Asta's whole body blushed like a bright red fruit. Then he screamed like a monstrous bird and wrapped himself in a blanket.

I'm not sure what to make of this.

So, you must leave!

"Well, if you're going to live a regular life from now on...

"You will!

All right. I believe you.

That's what he said. I have no choice but to believe him. If she locks herself up again, I'll just wake her up.

It's not like she's some random girl, but I'd like her to at least be able to take care of herself.

Letting out a big sigh, I left the room and went downstairs.

While I was eating breakfast in the inn's dining room on the first floor, Asta's guy came down. His cheeks are still a light shade of red, but he takes a seat to my right as usual.

'Now let's start praying.

Lohse and Anna begin their prayer to God. Do we thank God before we eat? That's a very Amelian way of thinking.

But there is no way we have such an auspicious faith.

Faf is flapping his legs and drooling, staring at the plate of meat in front of him, waiting for my permission.

In Asta, he glances at me and when I turn my head to look at him, he hurriedly averts his eyes. What are you trying to do, ......?

Then let us eat.

I'm sure you'll be able to understand why.

Congratulations on winning the first round of the preliminary round, Kai. Now that we've accomplished our goal, why don't we abandon the game in the middle of the next round and return to the city of Barce?

As we finished breakfast, Roze made me an unexpected suggestion.

I don't know why, but Lohse's heart is not in the right place at the moment. The fact that she made this suggestion suggests that staying in this city would be detrimental to her interests.

"Well, I won't abstain until the end.

Up until the last Dick Baum game, I was thinking of just losing and calling it a day, but the attitude of the tournament management made me change my mind. I'm planning to participate until the end, even if it means harassing them.

But I'm also worried about the slave children. ......

I'm still on time and I'm paying for it. You'll be treated like a nobleman, I'm sure.

In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site. There is no doubt that the slave girl is currently being treated decently.

But it's not absolute, is it?

I'm not sure what to do. It seems that he does not want to stay in this city.

If you want to break the contract unilaterally, we will destroy you thoroughly. That's all.

I'll take full responsibility for wiping out every last piece of this organization from the face of the earth.

I will destroy it!

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

"Then--

Just as Lohse was about to open her mouth.

"Lohse, I've been looking for you.

A woman with long ears walks up to us, raising her right hand.

She was about 14 or 15 years old, the same age as Lohse. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. Her silky silver hair that reached her back and her small frame matched her simple white skirt and jacket.

(Tsk!)

Hey, Lohse, you just clicked your tongue, didn't you?

"Milfie, what can I do for you?

To be honest, this cat-call of Lohse's gives me goosebumps. The next door neighbor, Faf, who sensed the strangeness, clung to me and I patted his head to reassure him.

"Of course, greetings to you gentlemen.

The silver-haired woman called Milfie broke her gaze from Rose, turned to me, and grabbed the hem of my skirt.

"I'm Milfeuille Renren Lorelei. Nice to meet you.

I bow to her.

"This is Kai Heinemann. Don't be too frightened. I'm not going to eat you.

The woman smiles, but her face is pale and bloodshot, and her whole body is trembling. I'm sure I've never been told that I have a bad physique.

No, no, I'm not frightened! I'm just a little shy and nervous!

I'm just a little shy and nervous!" Obviously, she was trying to be tough, but I didn't need to point it out.

So? What do you want? You're not just saying hello, are you?

I'm the biggest heel in town right now. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it. I'm sure you have some sort of request.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

"Kai--

I'm sure you've heard of it.

"You're not going to say anything about a contract, are you? What is it about?

I'm sure you'll understand.

It's a contract in which I offer you a price in exchange for you to do what I ask.

Hmm? I'm not sure what it is, but I'm pretty sure it's not a written contract based on the flow of the conversation. If so, it's a magical contract. I've read in a book that there is an attribute magic that makes certain agreements between humans and non-humans. Is that what you're talking about? If that's the case, then this woman is mistaking me for a non-human. In any case, if I can't use attribute magic, it's impossible for me to make a contract.

I'm sorry, but you can't.

I see. ......

I'm sure you'll be able to understand why.

I'm sure you'll agree. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. He's an acquaintance of Lohse's, even if he's named Lorelei. There is a high possibility that she is related to the royal family. If so, I would definitely like to avoid getting on bad terms here.

I'm a human being and I'm in this world. I'm a human being, and due to my gift of being the most incompetent person in the world, I can only use non-attribute magic. I can't make magical contracts.

"Human? You are?

Yes, I am. Hey, guys?

I asked Faf and Asta.

"Is your master human?

Why the question, Faf? Why the question, Faf? That should be a firm affirmation!

"Master, are you really going to claim that you are human?

Asta denied it all with a dumbfounded look.

"Do I look like anything else to you?

"From the tips of your toes to the top of your head, you look like a monster.

Faf and Milfeuille nodded their heads in agreement. I'm not sure what to make of this.

I'm very familiar with Kai's mother, and I've heard that his father is from the kingdom. Kai is definitely human.

So Lohse and my mother are acquainted. I'm sure you've heard of it. I'm sure she would have no hesitation in telling Lohse about my past. You can assume that my embarrassing past is all over the news.

"Are you really a human ......?

In response to Milfeuille's reserved question.

I've been telling you that from the beginning.

I affirmed as a matter of course.

"I see. ......

He put his hand on his chin and pondered.

I understand. Lohse, this matter is too big for me to keep to myself. I'll tell the doctors.

I'll tell Rosé that.

"Mi, Milfie, wait a minute--

"Well, Kai-sama, I'll see you around!

Milfeuille raises her right hand and dashes out of the inn without regard to Roze's voice of restraint. I'm not sure what to make of it.

Lohse, on the other hand, had his head in his hands. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. It seems that Anna doesn't understand it either.

Then it's useless to think about it. Young people nowadays don't understand well. That's all you need to understand.

"Well, I'm going back to my room. Anna, take care of the rest.

I asked Anna to do so while checking Lohse, who was still mumbling, with a sideways glance.

Yes. I'll take care of it.

She smiled and gave me a thumbs up. This guy has become a lot more honest in the past few days. Just a few days ago, he would just turn away and nod, looking unhappy.

In short, he was probably just as shy as Faf and Asta.

I got up from my seat and walked to the second floor, where my room in the inn was.
