Since then, Aldis and the woman have gone hunting with them.

Hunting with the woman was a very smooth and efficient one, despite the lack of frustration. Aldis alone is enough to fight, but not so much when it comes to collecting materials. Even one extra hand can significantly improve efficiency.

Sometimes they go out on the meadow to hunt dispars and beast kings, and sometimes go to the forest to hunt whipps and lactors. At first, Aldis was careful to draw a line between her and the woman, but as those days continue, her alert gradually diminishes.

At least she does not show any hostile behavior or attitude towards Aldis. On the contrary, they actively support Aldis's work.

Originally, it was a mercenary business where the exchange of life was a living business and death was always in hand. Working together for seven days will gradually create a feeling of trust. The flow of time is different from the people who live peacefully in the city.

When Aldis became familiar with the woman, "I can share danger as a mercenary mate." I woke up one morning and it was raining.

"Aldis, it's raining!"

"Aldis, are you working today?"

The sky is surrounded by dark clouds as Aldis looks out of the window to the twins' voices. There was also a humid air in the house where the morning sun would normally go.

"Oh, it's been raining for a long time. Hmm, do you want to take a break today?"

Apparently it wasn't raining temporarily. Aldis decided that he would continue to descend for a while and decided to stop hunting today.

"Yeah! Aldis play!"

"Read the book! Book!"

"Ok, I'll do it when I'm done."

Speaking with a bitter smile to the frowning twins, Aldis quickly prepared for breakfast.

After finishing a meal with twins with slightly higher tension than usual, Aldis was cleaning up the dishes in the sink, and the pants were pulled from behind by the twins who ran up with a rattling noise. As they turn around, they point out the window.

"Aldis, the woman is drenched."

"Aldis, I'm sorry for those with white hair."

He was pulled by his twins, approached the window where the gate was visible, and saw a woman standing in a white hood and being hit by rain.

"Aldis, do you have a woman's house?"

"Aldis, do you have a futon with white hair?"

Judging from the wetness of the hood, it may have been raining in the middle of the night. Aldis guessed, ignoring the woman what she would have to stay at the inn on a rainy day.

"Aldis, woman still wet?"

"Aldis, don't you bring a towel?"

Twins take out a large towel and give it to Aldis, who was looking out the window. Perhaps I want to say, take it. Aldis's cheeks relax when she sees her twins become more caring of others than when she was just scared by the corner of the room without opening her mouth.

But on the other hand, he is wondering when to get his twins out of the world. Hidden Aldis cannot be kept forever.

"Well ... is that woman first?"

Aldis received a towel from her twins and went alone from the front door. The woman is standing beside the gate without trembling. For those who do not know the situation, it will only look like they have some punishment game or abuse.

"Hey, how long have you been so soaked?"

"Good morning, my lord."

In response to Aldis's voice, the woman says with a somber face.

"I guess it would be nice to stay at the inn on a rainy day. I don't remember asking for a house guard."

"Don't worry. There is no problem with this much rain."

The woman says while shedding water on the wet hair spilling out of the hood.

"I don't think so, so I'm coming here, but at all. Look, you can use this."

She gave her a towel in a blunt manner and the woman picked it up with her hands.

"Thanks for the care of my Lord"

As she said, she inserted a towel into the hood and began wiping her wet Alice Blue hair. With her eyes closed and a drop of water on her eyelashes, she looks as pretty as a beautiful woman painted by a leading painter. Aldis instantly falls in love with his caution.

Next, however, the words spoken by the woman were enough to surprise him.

"I want young twins to thank them."

At that moment, a warning light floats on Aldis's black eyes.

"... Hey, woman"

"Something, my lord."

A woman who takes Aldis's gaze in a sword-like atmosphere from the front.

"Did you say twins now?"

"I told you, what is it?"

Aldis's alert level is increased. There is no memory of revealing the twins to the woman.

"Why do you think you have twins?"

"This is a different thing. If you look for such a sign, you can understand. Even if you can not grasp even the number of guarded people, you will not be qualified to claim a servant if you are immature."

The woman has a tone just saying what happened.

"I ask, do you know how many people, including me, are in this house?"

"Of course. Three, my Lord and my little twins?"

"Why can you say that you are twins?"

"The color, shape, and size of magical powers are exactly the same. There is no such entity, usually twins."

"..."

Glares Aldis silently looks at the woman. The face of Aldis whose expression has disappeared is reflected in the eyes of the sky.

Over the past few days, she knew that the woman was not hostile to Aldis. She does not know the intention of the woman who calls Aldis "My Lord" and herself as "Squire", but at least does not seem to be hostile.

But that doesn't tell Aldis whether the twins can be revealed. If you believe what a woman says, you already know the existence of twins. Should I cut the whites or, on the contrary, bring this woman to an ally? Aldis got lost.

After hesitation, ask a question that goes one step further.

“………… You ’re a goddess… what do you think?”

"I think" what do you think? "Is a very abstract question.

"..."

"Hmm. Whatever you say, what do you think of those who are not? It's a meaningless question."

"Isn't she? Goddess?"

"It's not limited to the goddess. I'm not here, anyone who is God. At least on this star."

"Hoshi? What's that?"

"The earth, the sea, the sky. The world of all of them. There is no god in any of them. It may be far away, but at least where humans can reach. No

To his surprise, Aldis is stunning.

No one doubts the existence of the goddess. On the contrary, in this world where the goddess and his apostles intervene directly, Aldis knows no other than himself, the one who denies its existence directly. Even if you are there, surely it's a human being called a bad guy or a bad guy.

Aldis never speaks.

"So what is the goddess that the church people worship?"

People "Well, I don't know that I've never met."

A word that denies the goddess comes out of the woman's mouth.

Anniversary "It is a story that the self-proclaimed goddess hates twins ... but if there are a hundred pregnant women, such as twins, then a couple will be born. Whether God is present or not, that is the same natural providence. It's too young to be abominable because you're twins, and you can't say anything about twins without worrying, and if you're my Lord's asylum, you should protect me. I'll do my best. ''

"... Can you swear that word?"

Amairo The woman naturally removes the white hood and turns her eyes to Aldis.

"I swear, my Lord, for my creator and my mission."

Immediately after being hit by the falling rain, the woman declared with a wet rat-like face.

"I see. I owe that oath."

Aldis softens his expression.

"Take it home. You and I are drenched."

Aldis and the woman step into the living room while dripping.

The twins usually jump on Aldis's feet who have returned, but this time the situation is different. Even though he had been observing for a few days in the distance, a stranger came alone. The two were hiding behind the sofa, watching the woman flickering.

"Philia, Liana. Can you bring me a new towel?"

"My Lord, it's not as good"

As soon as she says, she drains her and Aldis clothes and sends them hot air to dry them immediately. Curious light dwells in the eyes of the twins watching it.

"amazing"

"I was surprised."

"Is it magic?"

"It's magic"

"I'm dry."

"I blew it."

"That woman's magician."

"Same as Aldis"

Despite the twins whispering each other, the woman corrects her posture and says.

"My Lord, would you please introduce me those twins?"

"Oh, they're twin girls, as you can see, the name is Philia on the right and Liana on the left."

Aldis has only recently been able to tell the difference, but Aldis is likely to make a difference for a moment.

"Philia, Liana. This is-"

Aldis stops at her mouth.

"Oh no, I haven't heard your name."

I didn't care when I took him to the lord's house on request, but I couldn't help introducing twins who didn't even know their names. Rather, it would be Aldis's blunder to have been "you" for seven days without asking.

"I said before, but I don't have a name."

"No, wasn't that a joke?"

Yuki "I can't hide my name from the Lord"

"Eh ... then do you really have a name?"

"So you're saying that."

"That's right, but ... what should I call?"

"Let's call it as my Lord likes. You can still do" You "as before."

"No, that's strange"

Anyway, when you're alone, you can't just say "this is you" when you introduce others. Aldis's argument was very legitimate, but the woman appears to be insidious. In a hurry, Aldis was forced to think of a woman's name.

"Does that person have a name?"

"I don't have a name."

"Then it's anonymous."

"Are you anonymous?"

"Isn't it anonymous?"

"Any name because there is no name?"

"So anonymous"

"Is the name anonymous?"

"I guess the name is anonymous"

"If you're anonymous, do you have a name?"

"That? Really."

"You have a name because you have a name?"

"It's a famous person."

"Yeah, it's a famous one."

Twins are whispering behind the sofa. As expected, "Anonymous" and "Namely" seem to be only harassment.

"No name ..., nameless ..., Nere ..."

Aldis derives the name "Nele" from the nameless name. Abandoned Aldis said, halving, that this is all right now.

"Okay, I'll call you Nere from today.

"Ok, my lord. Now I'll call myself Nere."

Hesitant woman-Nere accepts it without any help.

Can you accept it so smoothly? Aldis didn't think so, but in the end, he wanted to avoid the hassle.

"Aldis is his follower, Nere. The towels you're going to have are your concerns. Thank you."

The twins, half-faced out from behind the sofa, gazed at the name of the twin who had just been named Nere.

For twins, it's likely that the vigilance against the first-time human beings will outweigh curiosity. Aldis is on the side and will not run away, but he does not try to get close.

"Hmmm, okay. Waiting for me to get used to it?"

Nere doesn't seem to be thinking about trying to shorten the distance.

"Well, why did you think the twins were worried about bringing a towel?"

Labor: "For the last seven days, I have seen my Lord as I have observed me. Of course I have noticed that my Lord was alert to me. But does the Lord have a clear enemy, or the sweetness of the body of an enemy who might be an enemy? "

Unremarkably grinning, Nere says as convinced.

Aldis does not deny it. Certainly, in the last few days Nere knew he was a reliable mercenary. But that's just one aspect of mercenary, and it's a different thing from the values of an abomination. She is an enemy of Aldis, even if she is a mercenary, if she shows malice and harm to her twins.

But from the moment Nere denied the goddess, she became a closer friend to Ardis, rather than a more likely enemy.

In the future, you can give one towel. Aldis whispered only in his heart.
