Episode 497: The Shadow of Yarlan and the Mystery of Lillian

The dog... talked?

No, technically, a demon of the dog lineage, will it?

But that's odd.

Sometimes the Goblins build civilizations and make villages, and in such cases they rarely solve humanities.

Demons in forms close to people are still similar to organ making.

So you can talk if you want.

Anyway, Laura and Isaac would be in that category.

But other than that...... things are different when it comes to animal demons.

Most people can't talk, and when it comes to being able to talk, it's just something pretty high.

In this case, they may normally use their vocal cords to talk, or they may have used their abilities called "reading stories".

Did you say this guy in front of you... Porch?

Obviously it was a dog beep as a sound...... which is it?

"... hey, now..."

When I say it in surprise,

…… Can I help you?

and a monk woman who stopped me from pounding tilts her little neck.

"What is... that?

Based on that reaction, I don't realize the dog talked...?

Could it be just me?

I thought so.

"... Lent. For now (...), why don't we introduce ourselves first?

I understand that Lorraine said that to me, and apparently it wasn't her fault.

In the meantime, I had a lot of strength.

It would have sounded normal to the others, but I know what it means to tell them out of the blue.

The length of Lorraine's relationship with me would be a trick.

I mean, Lorraine could hear the dog, that's all.

"... no, you're right. Greetings were delayed. I'm Lent. This is Lorraine. We both do adventurers. So...?

You didn't even tell me, but the monk who stops with his hand on the dog will guess.

"I am the dean of this King's Capital Third Orphanage, my name is Mel Patish. This is Mr. Porch. And then..."

When she looked around for a moment, the children who were gathered greeted us each.

There were more than ten of them, but I think I learned the names of all of them once...

That's the skill an adventurer needs.

Because I have a problem when I have to be able to throw a party in the wild.

Lorraine goes without saying, the memorization system is an instant.

It's nothing like me remembering you in a hard time, in a lullaby or anything.

I didn't want you to split the brains just a little bit.

Finally,

"And I am Elsa Orgado. That's now. Look, guys, I got a souvenir. We'll split it up."

Elsa introduced herself that way, pointing the children to a souvenir that was sometime moving from my hand to Lorraine's.

Lorraine is stuck with the children and takes all her souvenirs so that the bandits can strip her of her figure.

"... even the big bandits will add a little more palm..."

Blurring her hair, Lorraine, left on the spot, said that with a rough breath.

I know it's just a joke.

If a bandit really attacked you. Well, it's a terrible thing to see.

But it is true that they were screwed up enough to want to even so.

The kids, who were hit by Lorraine like a storm, took a souvenir and disappeared somewhere, but about it,

"You must have headed to the kitchen. I'm sure you'll be with us in a while."

and Elsa answers.

I went to get ready to eat, you mean?

I guess it's the usual because I seem to be used to it.

"Nevertheless, Master Elsa. What happened to you today? I don't see any of you offerings..."

Mel asks with her neck tilted.

It wasn't in her that me and Lorraine were offerings, because you already named yourself an adventurer.

Elsa is a monk.

With that offering, the market is set for an eastern Catholic monk or a small surname.

Adventurers are the majority of the rough ones, so as the caregivers around the aristocracy and clergy, they were, for the most part, disappointed.

Escorts, that can be enough, but in that case, we need someone to provide for us.

Especially even more so if you become a high priest as high as Elsa.

But it's not there.

It was only natural for Mel to find it odd.

"It's a joke that time is loud when you bring someone in... I didn't, and I wanted to bring these two here today. You're both malts, and I know Lillian."

"What? Is it true! How is Master Lillian? Even if I sent you a letter, you didn't return it..."

That's what Mel says and looks at us.

Elsa didn't return the letter when she sent it to Lillian.

That seemed to have come from Lillian's care for Elsa, but perhaps, the same would have happened for Mel.

After all, Lillian seemed to have been flown to the edge because of a power struggle within the Eastern Catholic Church in Wang Du.

If I had exchanged letters with officials of the Eastern Catholic Church in the Wang Capital, I might have thought that they were in danger and that Elsa and Mel were in danger.

"About that, it's okay now. Lillian has regained his power. This is how I got the letter..."

So what Elsa gave Mel was a letter that Lillian entrusted to us in Malt.

Mel looked at it and opened her eyes, then reached out and touched it.

"... I feel nostalgic"

"Because Lillian's holy spirit resides. By the time it opened, most of it was misty, but there's still a little bit left."

"Really...... really, good. Does that mean that Lillian will return to the king's capital any time soon?

"It's... I don't know. However, even if that happens, no one will be able to complain anymore. Even if it doesn't, you'll be free enough to visit the King's Capital, and we'll see you again."

"Oh, I look forward to that day..."

That's what I say. Mel embraces the letter.

Pretty much, seems admirable, but what the hell kind of relationship is that?

I was curious.
