"Hmm. Do you mean to use Edda and Norma as assistants and companions? But I have company here, too."

"They know where and what, and they'll do well to prepare for a hot tub and clean up the garbage"

"Of course."

"Will they make tea for Sheila?"

"Of course, I'm arranging a good tea brewer"

"Sheila doesn't drink tea made by people. You can brew yourself."

"What?"

"Besides, Sheila doesn't like other people around. Especially when you sleep."

"Your entourage is not someone else"

"That's your idea."

"That's true, though."

I was talking to Crimes, and Lekan realized there was.

I was angry at myself for making fun of it.

Sheila is an old woman, but in fact Sheila's body is about eighteen years younger.

You're deceiving me to look like an old woman.

But if I touch it, please.

If I touch it, I may be known to have youthful skin.

"And. Sheila hates being touched by people."

"What?"

"If I were to force you to touch me, I'd jump out furiously and never come back here again"

"What do you mean? I didn't know you'd changed that much."

"It's the unusual one, so you can't do the normal one"

"I see. I guess that's what it is."

"So I can't do it without Eda or Norma doing things directly around me"

"There is no other way. Well, Eda does use the best (recovery) in this town, and she knows a therapist named Norma has excellent abilities. I didn't know you knew Sheila."

"It was Sheila and I who chose Norma as our training destination to learn how to use Recovery. That's all Sheila trusts and respects Norma."

"Oh, did you? So Edda became a healer at Norma's. I see."

Crimes sighed.

"Didn't Sushana like you?"

"I appreciate that you valued me highly and tried to treat me most generously."

"Ho."

"But not the way adventurers live. I hate being tied up more than anything. Forgive me if I'm being disrespectful."

"Ha. It made sense to just let you say that. [M] It's just that Sushanna's gonna cry."

"What?"

"It was Sushana who brought this up."

"What?"

"You were the Knight on the Winged Horse, directed from heaven to help your suffering self. I've been following you ever since."

"I don't know."

It's a maiden's dream.

"From a little girl's point of view, my appearance and face must be pretty scary."

"I'm scared from a big man."

"Is this where we laugh?

"It's scarier when you laugh."

"But then Sushanna knew about me from a long time ago?

"When that kid's curse is broken, I can't let him talk about Cheney. You can't even be a major trader in the Wang Capital, such as getting" Divine Medicine "from nowhere when you need it. Sushanna wanted to thank Cheney herself."

"I see."

"Then Cheney spoke of the work of an adventurer who, I hope, is only a knight sent from heaven,"

"I'm getting it"

"The adventurer lightly slashed and abandoned a hundred warcraft, perceived and defeated four assassins with strange weapons by himself, and at the end of the day he was betrayed by his allies and risen in a cowardly deception but with an indomitable fighting spirit, knocking down his opponent's weapon to bring victory"

"Wow. That's a great one."

"Sushanna assumed you were an unsung hero. In fact, you're an amazing one. It took me a long time to find out about it. In a way, it was Sushanna's assumptions that were right."

"Right."

"But I was rather impressed with Cheney. I got" Divine Medicine "on that occasion, and it was the strength of my luck that caught the ghost tag of you. That's why I decided to get Zach out of this town."

"In those days, Zach was, like, the lord of this town, the lead merchant,"

"Before I realized it, several of Zach's breathtaking merchants broke in and expanded their forces. There was no way to prevent the Zykers store from entering. When Zach himself came to this town, honestly, I was ready to go down to the military gates of Coggles. Cheney had a mistake, too. To protect Cheney, I didn't want him to be the lead merchant on Cheney's behalf."

But you bet on Cheney.

"That's right. And at Zach's age."

"What?"

"Trying to take the load with assassins and traitors, or hiring three powerful adventurers to take the labyrinth, is too obvious for anything. In fact, he failed and the conspiracy was exposed, and the one and his shop had to leave this town. That's an old man, but I think he's in a hurry."

"I see."

"If you put up with it a little longer, he dies. Then there's the real battle."

"Hmm."

"I visited Sheila's house yesterday."

"What?"

If so, after Lekan returns.

"During Master Scarabel's stay, I bowed my head to ask him to stay at the hotel."

"What was the reply?"

"You have noted"

"Ho."

"I've taken care of this town a lot too, so I'll only put your face up for you this time. That's what you said."

(I knew Sheila was)

(You're gonna disappear from town when this is over.)

"I guess I should have taken my feet directly"

"I guess so."

"This solved the biggest suspension"

"Is that why you look so good today"

"Could be."
