That night I first returned to Cortina.

The minute I open the front door, I'm gonna be hugged by a tiny shadow.

This feeling, while having a soft feel, is slightly insufficient......

"Welcome back!

"Cortina?"

"Correct! Nicole, you let Maria know about my pinch? Thanks."

"I don't know about that... hmm?

I'll just return the raw reply and verify what it feels like to be back on my cheek.

Is the level of this swelling equal to that of Michelle or Finia? Unfortunately, however, Cortina's growth power does not have a future, so we cannot hope for any more abundance.

But not much meat is out of my taste, so it's a great justice to me. It's bad for Michelle, though.

"Ma, is this rarity?

"N, about what?

"No, anything. How's your leg doing better than that?

"Yeah, I'm fine. Because Maria cured me with her in mind."

I'm in the city of Lilith, and Cortina is seeing an injury to her left leg.

It didn't seem like a life-threatening major injury, so I left it to Maria, but I was concerned.

Most importantly, if it was Maria the seller who could cure any injury if she didn't die, she was confident that she could cure it without any problems.

My questioning about the injury was merely a social ordinance.

"Oh, but... I was there"

"What? My mom missed the cure after a while!?

Cortina squatting with abrupt restraint of feet. I change my blood phase and glance at my feet.

At first glance, there are no scars on her calves.

However, even if the wound heals, it may cause mental disturbance to the behavior. Just like the cloud did.

Has Cortina's leg been in that state, too?

"Uh, I want, I want. I need Nicole to massage me in the bath. It's not going to heal."

"... Cortina, Bar Reading"

That's enough bar-reading that even I can tell they're gullible anymore.

Understand in that tone that there is nothing wrong with her legs.

But she's also making a big stand this time. Even if I just feel like sweetening a little, I can't do it.

"I don't have a choice anymore. It's just for today, right?

"Hey, nice to meet you."

He smiles and shows it with a sloppy face, but it's only when he survives that face, too.

Well done, Matheus. I'd like to praise him for surviving. I accepted Cortina's offer, along with the meaning of the reward.

No, for me, this is gonna be a pretty good reward.

Finishing the reward of massaging Cortina for two with Finia, I left the house in the middle of the night.

I have a fake doll in my room with a round blanket and a hallucinating magic hanging over it that makes it look like me, so it's unlikely they'll see through.

The magic that sustains hallucinogenic magic is supplied by Ka, so it will not be interrupted.

Instead, I won't be able to disguise myself, but either way, I'll be fine because I'll be avoiding people from now on.

Maxwell's mansion knows I'm coming, so the trap's already been disarmed.

Now if the trap was set up like it used to be, you have to be prepared for that grandfather.

Maxwell was already ready in his usual living room, and there were two men waiting outside his grandfather.

"That was late, Ray...... Nicole"

"You didn't specify the time. What about these guys?

"Not the two of you involved in the Cortina raid. Don't worry, the injuries are healing."

If you ask me, one of the men is stroking his neck tightly and the other is scratching his opposite leg with his leg.

Probably worried about the trail of injury.

I mean, they're the guides.

"Bye. Either way, if you escape, force (Gears) to make sure the pain runs immediately."

"Then you don't have to worry about running away. Your grandfather's [compulsion (gear)] will damage the death level."

"They're just weak."

"If these guys are weak, about 70% of the world will be weak. Look, we're not talking in vain, let's go."

"Wait, wait, don't be so hasty. I just got some new information from these guys."

"New... you mean the guy from Matheus was laying low on information?

"No, apparently not"

According to the story, Crain is not currently in the city of Sedim, but is being coddled by a mansion outside the city.

That's exactly what Matheus had in mind. The mansion is currently used by slave traders and is entertained as a guest.

That's all I knew. But...

"There's a top Jedi visitor to the mansion right now."

"... heh"

The man who grabbed one of those Matisses, or the Jendo who raised Matheus. The chief is in Sedim with Crain, forming a slave trader.

That's what I heard, and I felt a quiet fighting spirit boil down.

They've been in trouble every time. It's also a chance to return the favor.

"I hear Matheus wasn't close to the head. Thanks to him, the information seems to arrive late, and it didn't flow to him. What do we do? You look like a troublesome person, and you have a hand in changing the day?

"No, fine. Let's wrap this up."

"Are you okay with the Lord now?

"Leave it to me. I've got a lot on my mind."

That said, I'm going to borrow some of Maxwell's mansion gear.

Mostly throwing knives. I can use yarn to attack at a distance, but when it comes to narrow indoor combat, I thought it would be more convenient to have a throwing knife that can attack at a quick point.

I put the case with the knife in my belt and tried to wrap it around my hips...

"Mm, not the right size"

"Is even the smallest belt hole big...... Lord, is it a little too thin?

"No, this is fine if you put it on your shoulder. Yeah, no problem. I'm not thin."

Maintain a belt wrapped around your hips, hanging diagonally on your shoulders. The result was an accentuated chest that was subtly swelling recently, but I dared to keep my eyes off here.

That's how he flew with Maxwell to Sedim after getting ready.
