You can't see the lake from the meadow. But you can see the house sticking up from the bottom of the mountain, and it goes all the way to the meadow. The white walls are beautiful on a leaning day. And it turns out it's a big town.

"Fufu, I miss you. Although I came here when I was young. Welcome to Hydrangea."

Nelly opened her hands happily.

The town of Hydrangea soon became a boulevard and was bustling with shopping in the evening. Like the town of Camellia, there are many women and children, and the children who were running around accidentally hit Nelly.

"I'm sorry, Onee-chan."

Is the boy about the second or third year of elementary school in Japan? Nelly looked up and hardened.

"What's the matter? Look, your mother is looking for you."

Nelly looked at Allen with anxiety as if she was exerting magic pressure, but Allen shook his head to the side and spoke to the child in relief.

Gori Oshushima

Nelly's face turned subtle.

"I'm not that bearded."

For the first time, Sarah got information that Nelly's father was a bearded lord. Nellie is still short of words, and I wonder why she didn't hear them from the beginning.

"Bearded. Haha! Onii-chan, that's weird, isn't it?"

"Hey, I'm really sorry."

The boy was scolded by a man who seemed to be a mother who had hurried over.

"I apologized properly."

"I see. You did what the children did. Don't worry about it."

The mother put her hand against her cheek.

"Well, that's nice."

Sarah said thank you, but Nelly with a faint smile in her mouth was definitely nice.

Break up with the waving parents and children, and move on while looking at the bustling city. I don't know if it's my fault or if the townspeople's gaze is on Nelly. Nellie and Chris are beautiful men and beautiful women, so they may be blamed for attracting attention in any town. By the way, Sarah and Allen are always treated as a bonus, but I think it's very good that they don't have to be conspicuous. It was not a defeat.

Sarah tried to ask me where I was headed, but Nelly told me first.

“I'm going to stay in an inn today, not at my parents' house, because I'll be ready to go suddenly.”

"That's good." If I'm going to be here for a long time, I'm going to rent a house, not an inn. "

If Chris goes to the Pharmacist's Guild, he might be able to pay for one of them, but he doesn't seem to.

"Why don't you come with Chris?"

I'm sorry, but I don't know when Ryan's sword will fly.

I don't think there's such a thing anymore.

Sarah squeezed her eyes together with Allen. A house where you don't know when a sword will fly.

Still, Sarah was willing to do something with Nelly. In other words, I'm thinking of having you stay at Nellie's parents' house. Of course, I thought Allen was right, but Allen's thoughts were different.

"I will also find a boarding house." Let's ask the guild first. It's mostly the cheapest guild inn anywhere. "

Nelly frowned.

"It may not be possible to go to the same floor of the dungeon." But if you stay with me, you can train normally. "

Yeah. I'm a master after all. But I am.

I also know how Allen feels when he's a little overwhelmed. Probably Kuntz.

Nelly and I don't always hunt together because of the level difference. Allen promised to throw a party when Kuntz gets back from the stock. And Kunz probably doesn't have a master, and he's covering his own life.

"The Guild Leader told me that Rosa would soon be able to live alone, so I don't feel like having someone take care of my life right now. If you're going to the dungeon with Kuntz, I think it's strange to say that I'm the only one taking care of Nelly's parents."

"Well, do as Allen likes." Just because you're an apprentice doesn't mean you need to stick around, so you can dive and hunt together once in a while. While I'm in this town, even if the time comes to break up, it doesn't change that I'm Allen's master. "

Yeah.

I was worried that Sarah would think Allen was alone, but if she already knew someone and wanted to get acquainted with the place, that would be fine. Originally, even in Rosa, Allen lived separately from the rest of the town.

"Allen should go and say hello to Nef's parents' house once and then decide." I think it's good to take care of yourself at first and then be independent from there. "

Chris wasn't very persuasive about not staying, but he certainly had to decide slowly.

Now, there was definitely a summer hotel in the middle of the main street, but it would be helpful if it was available.

A summer hotel in the middle of town must be a bit expensive and nice. And I'm sure the food will be delicious.

"Hey, Nelly. Is there something special there...?"

When Sarah tried to ask about dinner, a whisper approached her from the direction she was heading. Rather than screaming, there is also a screaming woman's voice and a surprised man's voice.

Sarah basically has a constant barrier around her, so don't worry about herself. As soon as I saw the three of them, Chris and Nelly looked a little embarrassed and showed no sign of being alert.

Speaking of Allen, I was sure that he looked forward to the noisy front and dropped his hips slightly to be able to cope with whatever happened.

If the two adults are not alert, it may be nothing. But I had a feeling of trouble.

Allen and I met each other for a moment.

The thoughts are the same.

We protect Nelly ourselves.

Sarah took a big step forward, and Allen took a step forward. Sarah in front left of Nelly and Chris. Allen in front of him on the right. Remembering that Camelia said that she was the vassal of the goddess, Sarah smiled at herself as if she were a puppy.

"Sarah, give Nellie and Chris a barrier."

Roger that. Have you met Allen?

"I don't want it."

As the commotion approached, it became smaller, and it was a spectacular hunter who eventually cracked and appeared in front of Sarah.

I thought I was a hunter because I was dressed casually with a sword on my waist and had a tall, stiff body that carried me without fear. It feels like the same hunter I saw in Rosa's guild.

And then, about 50 years old, with red hair, green eyes, and a beard, right?

Sarah, who was on guard, was a little nervous. You look just like you look when you're young.

Nelly's dad.

"Hey, Sarah, why did you do that?"

Nellie is surprised behind her, but why do you think she doesn't know? But Sarah didn't let her guard down, even if she was mad. Allen did the same.
