25. To the Virgin

"Damn it! The kingdom ones. You're kidding me! What a penalty! You forgot my contribution to the kingdom so far! Give me back my favor!

Balin!

My thrown vase hit the wall and cracked.

"Hey, hey, Vivia, calm down"

"Oh, yeah, Vivia. Even if what would be a brave man starts a short temper..."

"Ugh! Who do you think this happened to?

"Yeah, because, you know, it's..."

Delia came looking at me with her eyes like she said something.

Damn, you've been obedient before, what those eyes! I don't like it when you say it's my fault.

"But sure, that was a pretty heavy penalty. I can't believe they confiscate the Holy Sword. It's like being stripped of a certificate for a brave party. Besides, there must have been a question mark on our abilities. What is the condition for the return of the Holy Sword to accomplish Rank D Quest's mission..."

said the Virgin Cynthia.

How did this woman survive, surprisingly, after letting Prala escape? But it looks fine to me once in a while, but the fact is that my body is worn out and I can't fight for a while.

"In the middle of the fight, I was lucky enough to catch a trap of pitfalls and successfully escape... We need rest for a while."

He said, etc.

and there,

"Probably. The Holy Sword can't be worthy of a brave party like abandoning your people and running away..."

A pompous voice sounded. It was Prala sleeping in bed.

Prala was still attacked many times by monsters until he escaped from Fenrill and reached the entrance to the dungeon, where he fled for his life. The matter is her trauma.

"You're kidding me! Prala, what are you talking about? This quest failed because it was all your fault, originally! This wouldn't have happened if you could have used light magic properly!

"⁉ Well, that's... that's too bad. I've been trying so hard... And after abandoning you, I can't believe it's all my fault. Ugh."

"Ugh, if you open your mouth any more, you're seriously fired. If you fire a brave party, there will be weird rumors. So there's nowhere else to go, for heaven's sake.... Ha, it would be more important to learn from the lesson of failure than the thing. This time, in short, the role Ariake was playing... uh, was it navigation? In short, it's because you didn't have that chores person. Then you just have to recruit a replacement. So, Elgar, I gave you instructions, but you were able to recruit good people. There are a lot of people who want to go to a brave party."

I just wanted to end my depressed time and ignore Prala and move on to the next topic.

"Oh, I chose one for now. He was the best in terms of hiring."

"Excellence in chores and nothing."

I say it like I made a fool of myself.

Looks like a Navigator position guy named 'Bashuta'.

Various auxiliary skills, such as those found in the recruitment conditions, can also be used. This would replace Ariake.

"As long as you put in the auxiliary skills, you can achieve the same results as before. Yeah, I'm just gonna break through that D-rank quest and make the king cry and sit down in the ground! Ha, ha, ha!

"Ah, oh. Right, Master Vivia! I'm just a little out of shape last time!

"Um, right. Now it's okay. Whatever. We're childhood friendly. It's a party that fits my heart."

The three laughed brightly at each other, as if they had gotten back on track.

But Prala was watching us with cold eyes somewhere.

We feel the atmosphere of that gaze somewhat too, and the bright atmosphere gradually disappears and it feels somewhere bitter.

Nobody said anything, only the noise of someone standing slightly sounded quiet.

And the Virgin opened her mouth.

"Then I'll be excused for this. I'm sorry, but I'm also in physical condition, so I'm gonna let you get out of the party for a while."

"Oh, yeah, you did. Be careful. Yeah, I'll call you when I get back in shape..."

"Now if you'll excuse me"

Alicia disappeared, not even trying to hear my words to the end. That's like saying you don't have eyes for me or something...

Damn it!

I threw up worse on the inside.

I wonder why this happened. I just banished the useless Ariake.

(No, I went in instead. I can save it next time. So prove to the Virgin, the King, and the rest of the people once more how good I am.)

I made my chest jump in anticipation of the days being praised by those people again.

~ Virgin Alicia-Lundeburg ~

"Nfu."

Far from the brave men, I smiled unexpectedly.

"Nhhhhhhhhh"

Whoa, you shouldn't. I raised my voice even though I was a Virgin.

"Kohon."

and cough one up.

But I can't help it. Because,

"Please wait, Mr. Ariake"

The ingredient "Ariake" has already expired even though it was only a few days away.

"Alicia will come to you now ~ ♡"

I began my journey with a wolf, thinking of Mr. Ariake, who would be in the same sky.

While I accidentally sang a nose song or something.
