Early on at the Mansion, we were greeted by Jun and the Bright Boy.

In the rear, Miss Ferris also stands arm in arm.

What? Did you two even worry about Miss Ferris anyway?

"Dr. Pauer!

"Lord Paul!

I responded with my hands up to the two people who came near me.

Bright boy. How dare you hug me on my knees. You look pretty childish when you look at it like this.

Porch would already be in the room from the garden outside, but maybe I should have brought him in.

"Master Bright, I apologize earlier."

It would have been a bad idea to have abandoned him in a rash.

"That's not true! Dr. Paul was... that, that was so cool!

I'm glad to hear that. Let's brag to Porch later.

"And Mr. Shiro too!

Maybe I don't have to tell you anything. Because I'm sure it will grow.

Jun follows Bright boy telling him to get excited.

"Thank you very much, Lord Paul. I didn't expect the enemy to move at this time..."

"No, I was reckless, too. I'd like to talk to you later."

"Okay. And I'm surprised. I didn't know Bright would show up from Lord Paul's room......!

"I'm surprised, too! No way, because I flew under the bed in Dr. Paul's room!

Was it dark and surprised? Or were you surprised by the space transfer magic?

No, well, I get it.

"That... that..."

"That magic! Couldn't you teach me that magic!?

I laugh bitterly at Bright Boy telling me to be sorry.

No, it would be bad if I told you in this day and age, absolutely.

I feel like I can never tell you that. But is it the Black Emperor's curse that captures the feeling that you can't say no when this child asks you to?

"Then when the time comes..."

"Well, that's enough!

Bright boy smiles like he lit a light and puts his strength into his fists on both hands.

Oh, you said something about a promise.

But if the Bright Boy doesn't teach anyone, I guess that's fine. You mean it's best not to tell me until I can really trust you?

"Master Jun"

"What?"

"I'd like to talk to Shiro for a moment, but can we talk about it afterwards?

"Uhm. Then come to my room in an hour"

In your room?

Don't be called for the first time. I used the receptacle when I spoke.

Wouldn't it be a bad idea for a woman, an old aristocratic parent, to call her youngest son into a room?

I tried to go see Porch, who would wait upstairs, after I jungled a crappy reply.

Then Miss Ferris spoke to me.

"You............... no, you were pauer"

You must have already taught half moon magic?

"Yep."

"As the eldest daughter of the Adams family, I'd like to thank you. Thanks for saving my friend."

Saved me - it was Miss Ferris who had already shown her back around, but I was a little surprised by what she said and did.

That old lady princess thanked you...

Seeing him disappear on a small run when he left, he seemed pretty lit up. Maybe you're surprised at what you're doing.

"Lord Paul."

"Mr. Alfred."

Still looking tough, Alfred offered a shorter thank you as he crossed me.

"Thank you for what you did."

That's all I said, Alfred headed towards the Juns.

That Alfred is unusual. But no matter how many times you ask, you're not used to being thanked.

When he arrived in his room with that in mind, Porch prepared tea for the table in the room.

"I'm just in the storeroom!

I mean, serve me a meal when I say no... that's what I'm saying.

Well, it's fine because I was going to let it out.

Prepare warm tea with Swift Magic boils and serve baked sweets and fruits from the store room.

Porch, flattened in minutes of things, was pounding his stomach.

"Damn, I hope you gave me a little bit."

"No!

"But..."

"No!

Tea alone was distracting the loneliness of my mouth, my demon of use, who refused my words many times from earlier.

Honestly, I'm only hungry.

Is that a trivial thing? It's dinner time in a minute.

Well, in this fight, I'm going to have to talk to Porch a lot.

Even after the holidays. Jun will want to talk soon too.

In the meantime, I got time, and I need to make the most of it.

"Shiro, this time enemies...... how was it?

"Thank you... this is it. This is it."

Porch's own blood that washed his body with some water but still remains in his body.

Maybe it was the best pinch I've had since I left the beginning land.

"Caizerdino in rank s......"

"It was the movement that wasn't that fast, but the battlefield movement is the Dragon Clan, after all. Without the enhanced magic of the Master, it would not have been a battle."

There was no unexpectedly depressing appearance. Porch just calmly stated the enemy's power of war.

Are you saying that you properly recognize this place as such?

"In this day and age, the difference between the races is noticeable."

"That's right..."

"That dino is a demon... what was the level?

"Excuse me. I thought I'd be on par with Porch from the move, and all I saw was that level of Chicchiata"

"So what about that chichiata?

"One Hundred Fifty Two"

Porch is thinking with his front leg under his chin.

"It's normal to think it's lower than that, but if you could have fought equally at the level of the master, wouldn't that be the point?

"That Myan kid was developing, and given Dino's character and Chicchiata's strength, he could have won by a small margin"

"But you didn't think of it as a cobalt dragon"

"Oh, it's more troublesome than Dino in Rank S."

Then Porch tilted his neck.

"Why not? Sure, it seemed stronger that way at this stage, but isn't rank s dino more troublesome in the future?

I guess Porch is talking about the difference in rank certified by the Adventurer Guild.

Cobalt Dragon is rank A, Caisserdino is rank S.

"Kaiseldino was eliminated on land, and it's rank s strength in a dispute between monsters. The Cobalt Dragon, flying in the sky with little competition for survival, is rank A without being infringed by anything. If such a thing becomes a demon... not to mention in this day and age where there is the magic of breaking limits..."

"- Rank S right there...... no, even a monster in Rank SS is out of hand......"

"That's the thing. In that sense, Ballard, Lina's demon, has that bottom line."

I got a name for you, but how's Lina doing?

Aren't you having another fight with Tifa?

"For now, I and my master have some stretching to do, so you shouldn't think that deep right now!

"Ah, ah. Yeah. Right."

"And yet, Master, I'm surprised. Ten demons just now!

"Oh, have you noticed? Boulder, my demon."

"Of course I noticed. That was all advanced magic, wasn't it? One or two shots of advanced magic was a good level to put in, but I can't believe you put all advanced magic in the practical phase..."

Yes. The Ten Demons used it with just the right amount of intermediate magic of information, but almost all of it could be used with advanced magic in this fight.

Pooch guy, you used to watch him even though he was in battle himself.

I can't believe I got hurt because I was watching... Is it in the boulder?

"I guess it's a boon with increased levels. Looks like they were also improving their space map technology. Well, only the last freeze fire is intermediate magic."

"Oh, speaking of which, yes."

Rarely does Porch react well in a serious conversation.

Is this possibly delighting my growth?

He has no heart or he's shaking his tail...

"But I'm glad they helped Mr. Bright, but in the end, he withdrew. We haven't either ~"

"Right. I'll think about it a lot. I'm coming to see Master Jun, so make sure Shiro's ready for tomorrow."

That's what I said, I stood up and tried to leave my room.

But Porch pulled my cloak all the way and stopped the move.

... I only have a bad feeling about it, but let me ask you something.

"Look at that one"

At the end of the front leg of the pouch, there was a clock in the room.

The time is somewhat off my body clock, but it's almost 19: 00 in no time.

"It's almost dinner time!

I knew. I knew.

I sighed heavily and activated the magic of the storeroom again.
