That evening, a single letter was posted to Lyell's Mansion post.

Maria, who senses the signs of the courier and goes to look at the delivery, changes her blood phase by looking at its contents.

He rushed into the mansion in a hurry and pushed to Lyell.

"You, oh dear! Finna!"

"What? What's wrong with Fina?

To Maria's blood phase, Lyell looks back as surprised.

He had his favorite holy sword on hand and seemed in the middle of taking care of it.

Lyell's surprise, too, is not impossible.

It's really unusual for Maria to change her blood phase without constantly grinning.

Plus, Fina has the basics, the carbuncle, and watches for her safety with care.

Carbuncle itself is not such a strong monster, but relies far more on it than those adventurers there because they freely use a wide variety of magic.

It was a less conceivable event that something would happen to Fina, protected by such a carbuncle.

"Finna... said she was kidnapped!"

With a sad cry, Maria offers a letter. Hearing the voice, Cortina also came to the living room.

And when he enters the living room, he complains of Maria's words.

"Hey, is that true?

"I don't know. But Finna's not back yet."

"First of all, check your location... but if they really kidnapped you, they won't be easy to find. Looking for something that's not there takes time."

"Then I'll call Maxwell. If you use the magic of object exploration (search), you'll know where it is."

If it's magic to detect what you're wearing, take Fina's clothes and shoes and you can spot it.

Unless you were using anti-exploratory magic, this should have allowed you to find a place.

"This letter tells me to come to the village of Corvo"

"Where is Corvo Village?

"It's definitely a village about three days southwest of this village. Close to the border with the Kingdom of Raum Forest"

"Why bother? What can I do for you there?

"I don't know. But you know what... the city of Strahl with Gaddles is closer there. Ask him to help us."

"Oh, yeah. That's where Nicole is. Yes, we need to contact Ashela too!

"Why are you contacting the Pope?

"Because you baptized Fina, didn't you? That's about it..."

If they so decide, they are the ones who were called heroes.

Demonstrate wasteful behavior and run out to contact and cooperate everywhere.

As a result, Pope Ashera contacted King Elliot of the Union of the Three North, and things developed even more dramatically.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

When Gaddles, who had eaten the call from the guild, saw the report, he ran out like he'd coddled away his usual eagle frying.

Dwarves are not very handsome due to their shape. But he had extra experience to make up for it.

Take your feet in optimal motion and accelerate further with a wasteless weight movement.

He maintained it with what could be described as infinite strength and ran back to his inn, the Great Shield Pavilion.

"Ray - Nicole, is Nicole here!?

"Keho! Koho, Koho!?

"Yes, Nicole would be so surprised that she swallowed lunch here."

When I saw it, in the corner of the dining room, Nicole, who poured fruit water into her trachea, was swallowing up. There is also the figure of Finia who takes care of it in a loving way.

It was Michelle who was with me, as usual, that I have been able to report to Gaddles with pleasure.

Those three figures impress me that I grew up to be an attractive daughter even from Dwarf's eyes, but not now.

"Lord, you had metastatic magic. We're going back to Pioneering Village!

"What? Why all of a sudden..."

"Finna... no, that's not good here"

With that word, Nicole perceives something to have happened to Fina.

He cut up the meal and took a seat, staring at Gaddles with a sharp gaze. Slightly undressed as the fruit water I swallowed has contaminated my collar.

"Okay, I'll be right there. You ready for Gaddles?

"I can always go with a shield."

Originally the northern village was the home of Nicole. Little or no preparation is needed to bring it in. My favorite armor has also been granted metastatic magic, so I didn't have to equip it because I could call it in at any time.

"Roger that. Gaddles, come on"

Moving to a private room for consultation, Nicole listened to the details from Gaddles.

"I see... then you'd better have exploration skills, wouldn't you? Then I'll go as Reid this time. Will 'Nicole' decide to head to the village of Corvo first?

"That's fine, but what about my people?

"It's comforting to have Michelle, but there's just the numbers. Me and you... if you can, I want to take Finia, who understands the situation."

"It wasn't until you two could take me. But there is, and this time, the situation is the one, and I'm going to have to ask both Cloud and Michelle to wait here."

"Not too many people know it because it can irritate the killer. But if Reid and Finia go together, they could be suspicious. The sweet 'Reid' has made his face over there a couple of times, and I'll leave him in the fluttering wind of stopping by."

"What are we supposed to do?

"Gaddles and Finia... right, kill me an hour or so outside the village before I come. If you have urgent business, I'll pick you up directly. I'm thought to be transformed by the magic of change, so it's no surprise that I can use lower metamorphosis magic."

"Hmm, that hour is teethy, but is it easier to do that?"

If it was a kidnapping, pushing a large number of people to stimulate the killer could have put Fina in danger.

must be handled quietly and quickly. To do this, you will still need your strength as Reid.

At the same time I wanted the high degree of versatility of the finia.

"Bring me Finia. I'll be ready for the transfer."

"Okay. I'll be right back, just wait."

So again, Gaddles jumped out of the room.
