The plain and unnoticed me is no more

"Master Fred, what can I do for you?

Yeah, that's right.

You came to ask me to appear in public as Elaine. Actually, it's not a substitute or anything, it's really Elaine.

It's an incident that happened because I was concealing my whereabouts. There's nothing good about hiding without doing anything. We need to prioritize the rescue of these girls.

Will said something different than he expected, even though I was prepared and willing to respond.

"General, stay out of the hotel for a while."

"... eh?

"Miss Elaine looks just like you. He could be the next target of the kidnapper. That's why I want you to dress up and live in hiding, just in case, until I say it's okay."

I was surprised by the unexpected words and blinked many times. Didn't you come to ask for a replacement?

"The general is famous around here. When it comes to beautiful platinum blondes, everyone will say that they are the queen of the Sumitomo Pavilion."

"Ah! I see. People who are blind to money are looking for the right girl. Then Lana will be the first target in this district."

Chiyo looks at me anxiously. In the evening, there is only me and Chiyo besides the customer. The entrance and exit doors are locked, but if someone pretends to be a guest and breaks in, there is no way to counter it.

"There are no victims around here yet, but you should be careful. Then, I'm sorry at a time like this, but neither Liam nor I can show my face here for a while. So stay in that room and you'll protect the General."

Will appointed Sin and Taki as night guards in an unspoken tone of command. I don't have to do that, but I have Weiss, and Will doesn't know that.

"Okay. I was worried too, so I'll let you do it until this matter is resolved. Chiyo, you sleep in the owner's room. If anything happens, shout out loud. That's good."

"Ha, yes! I'll take care of it if you're loud."

Chiyo was given a role to herself and replied to Sin with a little excitement, and her cheeks flushed and she winked at me with sparkling eyes.

So Will stood up, and went to Sin and Taki, and put his hands on their shoulders.

"We still need training, but Sin and Taki have both raised their sword arms, and attack magic can be used more than usual. I wouldn't worry about the General if we were together."

"Oh, I've been training for these times."

Sin and Taki stood up as if they were knights or soldiers and lined up side-by-side. It's a sight I don't see here, but I'm sure this is how I get instruction in the training grounds. It looks kind of very reliable.

"Um... Miss Fred. Can you lend me a sword for the time being? They keep our stuff at the training ground, so they don't have it."

"Ah... that's right, it was by accident. The blade is crushed for training, so it will not be used anyway. There must have been some spares... Sin, Taki, you two go upstairs with me. Do as I tell you, General. Chiyo, don't leave me alone."

"Yes, I'll take care of it! Now, Lana, let's transform."

Talked to Tekipaki and I was taken to my room by Chiyo. Sin and Taki followed Will upstairs.
