The next morning.
I couldn't sleep well, but when I was able to relieve my work fatigue, I went to the guild a long time ago because I had a long way to go before the tavern opened.
If you head to the bulletin board to see if there was any quick movement, you rarely have a request to escort the children.
Look, the client is the guild itself. From what I saw of the guild in this city on the first day, I find it a little disgusting to say, but I got the impression that I couldn't afford to distract the kids, a little cornered.
"You've asked for three escorts today! I'll be Zeo Frau again. It's beautiful over there."
"That's sloppy, this isn't a quorum.... I don't know what else to do, I'll be a nearby guy."
From the side of watching, two Demonic women, each with another requisition, headed to the reception.
And when I look at what's left,
"One escort capacity for children going out to collect up to the fountain by the city pays 3500 lux"
When I say the fountain by the city, is it where we got off in the magic car?
It's not that far away, and I thought I'd take it too, but soon the other hand was stretching out to the requisition.
"Oh, I'm sorry, sister. Were you gonna take this?
The Lord of Hands is a man of disappointing stature, a magnificent human being.
I had only a few doubts about that appearance.
I don't know the details, but I hear it's unusual for humans to take requests that the Demons would like to receive in this city.
But he has no feelings whatsoever and very naturally tries to take that request.
It was also the Demons who had received two requests earlier, and I think this is probably a request for the Demons...
"No, I was just looking at it as unusual. Do you often receive this request?
"Oh, this started recently. The Alliance is now buying herbs for the children of the Human Reserve, and the escort is coming around."
"You were a human child..."
"Hmm, sister, are you a bad human?... don't say anything bad, stand up. You shouldn't say that."
and here the man whispers so with a slight frown and whisper.
It's like, if anybody asks, it's a mess and a mouthful that cares about this one.
Maybe they thought I was looking down on humans, like many demons in this city.
It used to be not so bad, but now it seems like this.
It's just a little out-of-heart to be seen by one of those, I'll explain.
"No, it's not. The Demons had received a similar request earlier, so I was worried about it..."
"Hmm? Yeah, then I'll be fine. Recently, more demons are taking care of their children. This is all thanks to Caivon's husband."
To that name of a sudden, my heart pulsed hard.
... Really, Mr. Kai is already gradually taking this city out of Arkham's hands?
As you once took me from the city of Wing Rest, now you take the hearts of the city's inhabitants, don't you?
If you think so, the flames of courage will burn in me again. I can't want it this way, I just stop waiting too.
"I'm sure that Mr. Caivon is a very nice guy. I want to do my best from now on."
"Oh, let's hang in there with each other"
Then I went to the receptionist and when I heard about the recent withdrawal of the recruitment of a housekeeper for Arkham's mansion and asked him why, I heard about a single female adventurer who returned a card that was a testament to his guild affiliation and left for service.
When I try to hear more about that person, if I can't answer it because it's a rule, I can only tell you why they're stopping me up there no matter how much I ask, which in turn makes me convinced.
Probably the same treatment Ljue as the guild's superiors.
It's important if she gets out of the guild like that, it's natural that she gets stabbed in the nail so she never speaks out.
And when I found out she was already in, I saw everything as ready and took action.
"Mr. Reyes, please take this to the box seat over there"
"Okay."
Tonight, we were also spending some time in the shop where our customers were constantly following us, carrying the food we could and taking orders again, while also serving a little chat.
"Race, you're really beautiful... why don't you go somewhere with me next time?
"I'm sorry, but I'm leaving town soon. I'm sorry."
"Yes!? Oh, my God, I've come all the way here to see Rayce."
Demons should also come to this location close to the Human Reserve.
Is it still somewhat biased, and many people seem to have a problem with perception, but this store seems to have less inter-ethnic friction than elsewhere.
So I can still speak to demonic men today, but these days, more people have spoken to me as well.
"Oh, you're my sister in the morning! You work here at night?"
"Oh, you're the morning escort request adventurer, aren't you? Good job."
"Hey, take care of the kid. Don't break your bones in there either. My sister could have done better."
I do also know that a child's power can be explosive enough to make a large adult hectic at times.
I have also taken away a daughter with a child once before, so I remember it by smudging myself.
That's why I wanted to take a little of that request, right?
"Heh, maybe you are. I'd like to take one last memory, too."
"Last? Sister, are you going somewhere?
"Yeah, I decided to leave this city soon. So please order a lot today?
"Ha, I don't have a choice. Well, then, let's celebrate our journey. Let's get a little extravagant."
Caught laughing with prestige, nearby seating customers also placed one additional order after another.
I also bow my head and say hello to all of you.
"Ladies and gentlemen, for a short time, I would like to thank you very much for letting me work here and for the pleasure of making contact with you. I hope you'll be kind enough to remain the same without me."
I've already told the owner about this.
I'm very sorry to hear that, but you still convinced me, and those of you who are colleagues pulled me off, but I can't pull it off after I've decided to move too.
"I disturbed you. Now, please enjoy yourself fully after this."
Finally, I have a grin from the bottom of my heart and go back to normal work.
Your hands one up after the other, and additional orders and required handshakes.
Respond to it with less guilt and a bite of the joy of customer service I have felt for a long time.
In the meantime, a few customers left the store behind.
... Come on, you sprinkled the seeds, didn't you?
If it works, it's now, Arkham.
On the way home, one carriage stayed in front of my sleepover.
At last, when this time comes, I get in the mood and head from myself to the carriage.
With all that grandeur, I thought if I told you I was leaving this city soon, I'd be sure to move today.
Daimyo, you thought I was noticing, frightened, trying to escape the other day, didn't you?
The carriage, which approached right in front of us, was a beautifully decorated object that reflected the moonlight lightly, even in the dark.
... That's a pretty good job. But I don't even have to compare it to Mr. Kai's magic car.
That glossy wood, how it fits around the suspension, and the deep, dark red leather seats on the doorknobs polished by it.
Until then - whoa, it seemed like I was totally in a world of delusions.
"Good evening, long time no see, Arkham"
I speak to that person who would be across the carriage window, the curtain.
... It's okay, I'm stronger now. And I have the strongest, dearest, best family.
"... have you finally made up your mind to come down to me, Reis? Let it wait for almost half a century."
"It's also a man's worth waiting for. Being stuck and approaching a woman is like a child just past puberty."
"Hmm, is that what you call that child, your escort? I see your incense has beguiled you."
Not yet.
"Oh? That one has been quite a gentleman, including at night... I see, speaking of which, you have had children who have not known one length of their own for a long time, even less than adolescence. I'm sorry, can you just forget what I said?
The obvious sarcasm to you.
Your blatant disdain.
It's okay, 'cause it's okay.
... and a little bit more lies, or it's your love that made you look good.
"Kukukuku...... no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It's okay, I'm still okay.
Because this tremor never comes from fear.
It's okay, because I can still stand it.
Because even if the meat doll in front of me disparages my loved ones, I can contain this anger.
Hey, how long have you been...
"Tomorrow, get ready and head over there. Come on, I'm tired too."
"Hehe, haha, huhahahahahahaha! Finally, finally, this is the time! Oh, wait, wait, wait! Oh, I'm looking forward to it, what a night to look forward to, I'm not going to sleep tonight! It's night, dawn, dawn when you get sick! Hahahahahahaha!"
Raise the scream of frenzy as if you were drunk on yourself, and finally show that face from across the curtain.
Win pride, distort your face to passion, and turn your beast-stained eyes here.
... How long do you think you can be a winner?
