The Strongest Level 0 Aikido Practitioner, Now, Here I Come to a Different World!

"Ladies and gentlemen - thank you very much."

Maria, dressed in blue monastic clothes, thanked her in the same pompous tone.

When I first came to the orphanage, I was an eye-catching and toned woman, but that was influenced by the Masal scenario maker, who actually always seemed to have some laid-back atmosphere of femininity.

But the power of that massal has also disappeared, sometimes now trapped in the dungeon, and the seeping face of the insurance has completely softened, watching the children with a merciful look.

"And to Master Nagare. Ha, really, no, thank you for your help ~ ah. The orphanage is back on track, thanks to you."

With a gentle smile, Maria thanks Nagare. The prolonged tone was the same, and the voice was somewhat of a feeling of childhood, but it did seep gratitude in its eyes.

Before she did that, I told her with a gentle smile that it didn't work for me.

"- Looking at you smile like your Virgin Mary, I'm glad you could be of some help. It was all false and really good before."

"Well, you're good - Mr. Nagare, ha"

And Maria answered with both hands on her cheeks. Nagare just spoke of her honest feelings, but I guess there was something coming all the way to that straightforward story.

Though Luluci is also watching the situation with his eyes.

"Besides, thank you for being a playmate for the kids."

Maria holds both hands in front of her chest and prays to God to offer them. The appearance is like inside.

"And thank you so much for all your assistance."

"It's nothing. That's about it. Everything I brought to that is a donation."

"Still - thank you very much. To all of you who donated - God bless you."

Maria prays again. A prolonged tone is a disciplined woman on the back.

"But if it's true, Sewassur's always dealing with the kids, and you're off the hook."

"Ha ha, no, no. I feel like I can have my youth divided just by watching my kids healthy because of their age with this, too, but I'm really concerned about their weakness to come into contact with energetic kids. So for today, I'm going to leave it to all of you young people."

"Mr. Sewassur jokes about his age. How many demons have you destroyed on your way here?"

And when Nariah spoke as if she were frightened, she answered with her arms, saying, "No, it's a different story than that." But you will certainly not be in a lot of strength than you have remained solidified in your reclining heavy-duty armor and have escorted Lulussi on a long journey.

"Ah, that Mr. Nagare! Thank you for that verse!

Then one boy rushes over to Nagare and bows his head to thank him.

This boy naturally remembered Nagare. When I went to the Adventurer Alliance to grab information about Masaru, it was Ritz, the boy who was diligently polishing his adventurers' weapons.

"Oh, after that, the adventurers apologized to me a lot - so can I continue to polish my weapons? When I asked him, he said he was welcome and that he could help me with a reward!

He held his fist for a long time and looked up at Nagare with sparkling eyes. It is an innocent eye dreaming of the future.

"That was good. Even if you were being manipulated by a massal, the person watching was watching you closely."

"Yes! Now I think I can repay your mother, Maria. Besides, I'm going to try to study blacksmiths next time the Adventurer Alliance promises to introduce me."

"Sure, Ritz is certainly good at polishing weapons, but he seems to be good at handling tools and clever with his hands. Maybe now you can be a good blacksmith."

"Yes! I'll do my best! I will not forget what Mr. Nagare said when he held my hand! Thank you so much for saying I'm talented too!

Ritz expressed his gratitude again and again as to whether he was quite pleased. After that, he asks me to polish Sewassur's weapon, smiles, and then asks me if I will, while polishing the great sword he gave me, I hear a lot about the equipment.

"Um - Mr. Nagare, Ritz told me about it - in the Adventurer's Guild, that Masaru was going to help me - but he didn't have to get hurt because Masaru suddenly flew away - maybe - Nagare helped me - so - so?"

Cotten asks with clear eyes tilting his neck. In contrast, after a meditation,

"What do you think? But he worked very hard for the orphanage. Maybe God took a good look at that diligence."

and smile with a nickel in his mouth. Maria's cheeks stained light red.

"Oh, don't be alarmed... could it be more dangerous than Masaru?

"Right... I'm a man too, so maybe it's a lot more dangerous than him"

"Huh!?"

"Pfft, I'm just kidding."

For some reason even Lulussi started to get doggy with that exchange.

"Dear Nagare, please don't tease him too much because Master Lulussi has little male experience (of love)"

"I'm sorry about that."

"Hey, who's got less experience!

"So how many lords have you dated before?

"Ugh!? So what about Nariya!

"... and that's it"

"You got away."

"You escaped."

Nariya tried to change the story as she coughed up one thing, leaving her in a completely snakey state. Although I have been stuck half-eyed by Luluci.

"At that point, you were all talking about leaving tomorrow. Which way are you headed?"

"Huh? Oh, speaking of which, you didn't say. We're headed to the Istfence tomorrow."

"Uhna!?"

When Luluci explains, he hears a pretty voice like a cat. Reacting to it and looking back, Persia, a cat ear beast man, stood close at some point.

"Well, thank you so much for your help with that verse! And a lot of disrespect. I'm sorry!

Apparently, I've come to apologize to Nagare and the others. By the way, I've already received apologies and thanks from Cutie, who was forced to behave beside Masaru with her.

"It's not about being apologized for. It was all done with the help of Masaru."

"Phew, but I wish that man had manipulated me like that..."

That's what Persia made me rattle and shake my shoulder. The other kids also exposed their disgust that they were disgusted, and they didn't like to remember, after they were released from Masaru, but in her case, or something different can be felt again.

"... rest assured. He won't show up in this orphanage anymore. He's going to be sentenced to a pretty heavy sentence."

"Well, I'm not worried about that anymore.... I'm sorry I bothered you."

"It's not about Persia apologizing anymore."

Put your hands on your hips, Lulussi says. And really because of that idiot! And angry. I suppose you remember Masaru.

"... you guys headed to the ist fence?

"Yes, you're scheduled to travel tomorrow"

"Right, but don't worry. I'll come back when I'm done."

The two of them answer Persia who asks to see how things are going. But her expression is not good - she said something more than she said.

"Persia, is something wrong?

"Nyah! Well... if you're heading to the Istfence, and the Empire's - nah, nothing! Sorry!"

Looks like Persia tried to give something back to Russi's inquiry, but she ended up saying it, running away for some reason.

Hey Persia ~ ~ ~! Though Luluci shouts.

"… Persia ~ Maybe ~ she's sick of that ~ I don't know ~"

Then Maria says with a worrying look somewhere. It's just the same way you talk.

"Maria, what do you know?

"... that's right - be all of you - may I talk to you - actually - Persia was originally brought as a slave from the Marvel Empire -"

"Huh? Lies, slaves!? And he said he was brought -"

Luluci distorted his face with his mouth so far. Though the appearance is also inhibited from speaking.

"Could that be - as a slave to be traded behind?

Nariya speaks for Lulussi, who is unlikely to say he will. In this kingdom, slaves inherently have a system called free slavery, so they are never treated like objects in the hands of merchants. And whoever breaks this and treats slaves traffickingly shall be punished severely.

Therefore, there can be no such thing as a slave being brought from the Empire if it were meant to be. but if you're the dark merchant behind it or something, it's not the story.

And Maria answers Naria's question first hand.

"Persia escaped when she saw a gap on her way out of the empire, and I protected her as she wore out and wandered through the woods."

Persia wandered for days through a kingdom that had no sense of geography, and that's how she crossed the woods, over the mountains, and finally reached the woods near this piece of jewellery, she said. However, they did the same with all the effort and downfall there.

It seemed like a miracle that she was safe, but Maria found it, helped it, and allowed the Adventurer Alliance and Lords to hang themselves and raise her as an orphanage child.

She has the impression that she is quite relaxed if she talks only the way she talks, but the atmosphere seems to change for the sake of the children and show behavior that makes them say something else.

"For a while - I was scared about me, too, and I thought it was pretty bad for me. But I started spending time in the orphanage, and by making contact with other children, I brought back the brightness."

That's what you'll know if you look at what's going on. And I can also understand why you showed your fearful feelings there about Masaru. I guess it reminded me of a time when I was caught as a slave.

"... I can't believe you had that in your eyes - but then maybe you don't even want to remember the Empire? Istfence is a frontier with the Empire, and if you don't want to hear about it, you know..."

Indeed, I was somewhat interested in the story itself about how Persia was doing, and I felt that atmosphere, like I wanted to know something.

"... it's probably because I'm worried about my friend who's separated in the empire."

"Are you a friend?

"Yes - it seems that the Persians are being treated really badly in the Empire - but they managed to escape the eyes of the Empire, and there was a clan who secretly spent time hiding just the Beasts - it seems that Persia also spent time with her family in that hidden settlement, but there was a girl who used to play with them - and Persia seemed to care like her real sister -"

But ~ Maria gives a worried look.

"That life didn't seem to last long, either, because the imperial humans couldn't find him and forced him to flee - to be separated from his friends then - and then the Persian family haha..."

That's all Maria said. But it showed the end of her family in the dark. And only Persia was caught in the hands of the merchants of the empire, and was secretly brought to the kingdom as a slave.

"... So Persia still cares about that separated friend"

"Yes - so maybe I thought I'd get some information from all of you heading to Istfence if possible - if it's Istfence on the border - that there might be some information on the Empire, too, but - maybe I realized it wasn't that simple - and also - that I'm sorry to ask for that hassle - that's what I thought ~"

"... I don't know - you've decided to collect it! If you ask so much and do nothing, the name of the Duke's house will cry!

Sooner or later, Russi rushes under Persia, hugs her, then leaves it to me! and spoken.

"I really won't be able to take care of Luluci ~"

"Never mind. Besides, I feel comfortable taking care of the kindness and people of Master Luluci as an escort. That's why I turned into my sister and wanted to be there for you."

Nariya speaks emotionally.

Nagare also saw Lulussi with a gentle look. She has something important in her heart as a person, even though I think so, Nagare.

"By the way, do you know the name of that friend?

Nagare asks Maria again. Then she answered her mouth, turning to Nagare.

"Sure - I'm a girl by the name of Ann"
