... live free!

That's how we got there was in front of a five-story apartment.

"This is my house upstairs"

"Heh."

Elena lives here... What kind of room is that? And Elena asked me this when she thought of it.

"Because of this, and Mr. Lena's going up?

I was just wondering, because I wanted to interrupt you a little bit. I'm happy about that invitation as far as I'm concerned, but is it okay to interrupt at this hour? I thought.

"... okay?

"Okay? 'Cause Lena got me some help, and I gave her a little thanks."

"Well, just a little"

That's how I interrupted Mr. Elena's house.

Elena's house had a desk and chairs as she walked through the front door and a kitchen nearby.

Is this the living room...... Looking around with that in mind, there were two doors. I think one of them is a bedroom, but what kind of room is the other door? And that's what I thought.

"For now, sit here?

That's what Elena told me, so I sat in a chair. Then Mr. Elena went to the kitchen and began to boil out the water. If you look closely, there are things like demon stones, so it looks like they are made of magic props that Elena uses. Yours used to go to the well to fetch water, pick up branches and fallen leaves, and use them to light a fire, so this magic stuff is pretty handy...... and Elena came back with a cup if you thought so.

"A drink called tea, if you like."

I said that and when I lightly smelled the smell of the tea placed, it was a smell I remember smelling somewhere.

Uh-huh, where did you get this smell... Oh, could this indeed resemble the tea your mother liked and drank? But that tea sure smelled like peaches, too?

"Mr. Lena, what's wrong?

"Because it looked a little like a smell I was familiar with smelling"

"... Really? What's that smell like?

"Peaches for sure on this smell? Does it feel like adding a smell like that?

"Is it a peach..."

I included the tea in my mouth as I talked about it.

"... yummy"

"Oh yeah...... If you like, I can take your place."

"Thanks"

That's how I was enjoying my tea with Mr. Elena.

Then some time later, I asked Mr. Elena about an earlier man.

"Mr. Elena,... can you tell me what happened with the guy earlier?

Yes, when Elena asked, Elena looked a little distressed wandering her gaze. And Mr. Elena asked me this as she tried to ask how I was doing.

"... What does Mr. Lena understand about me and him?

"What I was trying to say to Elena is that she's just an adventurer in C-rank."

I gave up a little with a slightly surprised look when I told Elena what I heard and knew.

"You know the general contents..."

"I was listening to the conversation nearby, so if it's approximate,"

"... ok. Let me tell you what happened."

"Please"

"... his name is Aldine and he's an adventurer who just recently became C-ranked. I first met him since I became in charge of reception as an Alliance employee. At the time he was an E-rank adventurer. I've been inviting him to dine and shop with me ever since I had him, but he wasn't willing to go out with me, and he's been saying no ever since."

Has that adventurer been inviting you about Elena for quite some time... Well, you don't even care about him for what Elena's ever said no to or hated like this one...

"That's been a little more forceful here lately... And then, as Lena saw earlier, I was forced to."

"I see...... If you do, you might still be in danger of that man approaching Mr. Elena."

"It may be so"

"Is there no way to do something with the guild?

"I think I'll just say it upstairs. I don't know what will happen..."

Uh-huh, what do you deal with in the guild? I don't think there's anything from Mr. Emilia, but it might be a little difficult to get out of the guild anyway if you're in the guild......

"If there's anything I could possibly do, say it. I'll work with you."

"... thanks"

When I say that, Elena has happily thanked me as I dyed her cheeks a little red. I was a little embarrassed to see Elena like that. Then for a while, I was talking to Elena.
