Decades after finishing Friesian's first demon stone hunting experience.
"Phew, now you've completed five investigations."
"That's right. But there was no new discovery."
"I've spent days on the ground and I don't like it when it's empty."
I finished investigating the fifth sighting site, but instead of the black demonic stone, I haven't even found a hunting ground anomaly.
It doesn't look like they were doing anything there because Diabols was found.
I'm starting to feel more like a place where I didn't do anything and just went through.
There's no sign of a perfect encounter, and if it stays like this, you're not going to understand a purpose at all.
That's how I raised my anxiety about a never going forward investigation, and I went to the Seville branch with three of us today to see if there were any reports.
"- So! You have to go now!
As soon as I opened the door to enter the building, I heard a woman screaming from inside.
As he walks in face-to-face with Knoll and the others, several costume people and Mr. Bence and several officials are discussing something.
One of the most prominent and absurd voices of all time is a woman in a witch outfit who looks familiar.
Short purple hair on her blue witchy clothes... Isn't Irina the one who showed me around at the Temple of Testudo?
I'm just wondering why you're at the Adventurers' Association, but it's not like we can speak up.
Do you want me to stand ear to ear until we're done talking for now?
"We both know it's serious. But someone didn't put it on the escort right away..."
"As a servant of Master Testudo, we need to get to him as soon as possible! I can use healing magic too, please!
"Even if you say so... when it comes to escorting the Temple people, we both have to ask for more than one C-rank party or more B-ranks..."
Irina is about to complain in her desperate shape, but Bence has a badly toothed response with a serious expression.
Feeling like you're listening, are you looking for an adventurer to escort you?
Besides, it has to be more than B-rank.
Hmm, the smell of every mess is gonna pump.
Should I speak up or... When I thought about it, the receptionist who was with Mr. Bence noticed us.
And I don't have time to run, when the receptionist hears Mr. Bence.
"Ah... Mr. Ogura! Isn't that Osakura-san! Stay in just the right place!
"Oh, calm down!
"You are so full of joy..."
Running over with a dota, Mr. Bence shakes my hands and shakes them up and down.
The look on his face earlier made him smile like a lie, and the officials around him exhale as if they were relieved.
Oh... you're not going to get away with this anymore.
"Are you..."
"Sister, you took care of me in the temple before this. Thank you for showing me."
"I don't mean enough to thank you. You were adventurers."
Irina's coming over here, too, and she's looking at us and opening her eyes.
When we went to the temple, we were in private clothes, so he wasn't even supposed to know we were adventurers and he seemed surprised.
Estelle gave me an answer instead of me being shaken by Mr. Bence.
"So why is the Temple's sister here?
"Actually..."
Mr. Irina leaned down gently and began the conversation with a serious face.
There are several Testud-like temples around Sevaria.
We've actually seen it before, and the fishermen have asked us what we know.
So this time Irina and the others are in such a hurry that apparently one of the temples dotted all over has lost its power.
We don't know what caused it, but something definitely seems to have happened at the temple.
She says this can't happen unless something like this happens, which seems to be protected by the juncture from time to time.
That shrine is connected to the temple's shrine in the town of Severia, and thanks to it, the protection of Master Testudo is also good for the surrounding area?
Leaving it like this, demons who have never come close in fear of Master Testood may even come to the surrounding waters.
So Irina and the others have to go to the temple and see what's going on, and connect the temple with the shrine.
"We need to get to it as soon as possible! But they told me there were no adventurers who could be escorted by us..."
"So you were talking to each other. What do you want me to do, brother?
Um, I don't care what they say.
This anomaly wherever there were no new discoveries, no matter how much we investigated.
Besides, it is a shrine that passes the patron saint's protection.
We didn't even know it because we didn't touch it, but there seems to be a connection, and there should be a lot less danger to the temple.
And speaking of the guy who's going to be able to do that... the Diabols we're looking for.
I can't say absolutely, but there seems to be a good chance he's involved.
If Diabols were here, Irina and the others would be in danger, so should we escort him here in conjunction with the investigation?
That's what I had in mind, and Mr. Bence, who had been holding my hand for so long, shook his arms up and down and screamed.
"Mr. Ogura! Could you please take on this escort! I'm begging you, too!
"Wow, okay, so don't wave your arms. No, no!
"I can't believe Lord Okura is swinging... the Branch Manager is powerful."
Hey, it's floating! My body is floating!?
When I told him I was going to escort him, Mr. Bence finally arrived and let go of his hand.
Phew, I didn't know my body was strong enough to float... Well, it's liberated and I need to get confirmation from Irina.
"Uh, it was Mr. Irina, wasn't it? We're B-rank adventurers, so if you don't mind, what do you say we take it?
"Please do!
Irina responded with an immediate response and bowed her head to us deeply.
To have Mr. Bence and the others draw up a request and officially take on the escort of Mr. Irina and the others.
Looks like we'd like to leave right now, but we just came to the association, so we managed to get some time to prepare for it, so we left the association behind.
"I got time to get ready, but what's wrong? You should call Sissha, right?
"It's an escort, I think Sissha should definitely bring him in. But then there will be no Friesian watchman..."
Apparently, the destination, the temple, is located five days by horse from Sevaria.
We can't use the magic carpet, so we'll be traveling on horses too, about 10 days round trip.
I'm leaving a message because I naturally can't take Freesia...
"We'll have to ask Luna to keep an eye on us. Friesia seems to have been punished a lot by the last demon stone hunt, so she shouldn't be walking on her own."
"That's right. I'm glad Friesia figured out the fear of demon stone hunting. Now I wish I were like Lord Okura or Sisha..."
After passing out using his skills in this previous demon stone hunt, Friesia became completely frightened by the demon stone hunt.
Because I didn't wake up until after noon the next day......
It seemed quite a shock to Freesia, who loved to move around, to have passed out for a whole day.
Is it because of that, since then, I've also moved less selfishly, and I've grown up a lot in the house.
When Sisha is also to be taken to the escort, she will only leave Friesia and Luna at home...... Friesia should be able to stand it now.
Believe me, we went home once and told that story to Freesia and the others.
"Eh! Can't you go outside for that long?!?
Friesia shouted, looking as if it were the end of the world.
"You have no choice. I wish I could look outside, but I can't go out without us."
"Objection! You can have one more!
"It's like you're unconvincing..."
Friesia is protesting violently by banging her desk.
I knew this would happen... because if we went to the escort, there would be only Friesia and Luna in the house.
It won't be possible for Luna to hang out with Freesia first, and that's why she can't just let Freesia go out.
I asked him to leave a message at home while we were gone... this is going to be difficult.
And now Luna, as in the chase.
"Shit, I don't like being just two people with Freesia. I'm gonna die."
He's shaking his neck sideways at high speed, with no expression.
I don't like it so much...... well, I couldn't help but see it that way the other day.
"Luna, you're terrible! Then I'm like a problem child!
"Which mouth says. Use your skills and faint forever."
"Awful! It's not much. Ooh!
Luna turned away and ignored as she put her arms together, and Friesia stuck to her feet with tears in her eyes.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
But there's no way you're going to let Irina's escort, like a witch who serves in a temple, be without a full member.
Looks like Irina and the others can use healing magic, but Sisha definitely wants to take them.
I want to avoid it because it's dangerous to take escorts out into battle, and I always scam clerics, but Sisha can count on me.
Naturally I can't leave a message because Knoll and Estelle are the main players.
What the hell am I supposed to do! and where I've been wanting to hold my head.
"Luna, please, I want you to get along."
Knoll put his hands together and started asking for favors against Luna.
She is frowning with her mouth pointy and her eyebrows whispered as if the rashes were bad.
"Mmmm... it would be nice if this elf had grown up"
"Of course I believe that Friesia will keep its promises. But you're lonely alone, aren't you? Please, I want you to get along."
When Knoll said so and lowered his head, Luna creased further between her eyebrows.
If you ask me to go this far, even a lazy vampire seems to have something to think about.
Are you feeling uncomfortable? She tried to move away from the scene, but she felt frigid on her legs.
Pushing my face with my hand and trying to peel it off is never going to leave me.
Then I confronted Knoll, who would keep his head down silently for a while... and Luna dropped her shoulder to give up.
"... ha, okay. I'll deal with Heihachi while he's gone."
"Yay! Love you, Luna!
"Gu, don't hug me! Ugh..."
"Hmm, Luna, you're thankful!
Luna, hugged by Friesia, sighs with her jitsy eyes as she finds herself very fond.
Luna's always unwilling, but she'll protect exactly what she took on once, so now she's going to be relieved to leave a message.
... but on second thought, the culprit who had to make Luna struggle like this is Friesia, right?
If this guy had honestly grown up with me, he wouldn't have had anything to worry about.
Should I give you one piece of advice to reduce the burden on Luna?
"It's nice to be happy, but don't stick around without sleeping like you did before. If you do, you'll be forced to hunt demon stones.... Oh, if you let him do some hunting and then use that skill, he sounds efficient"
Because that skill in Freesia was amazing.
It lasted roughly 3 minutes, but that alone got nearly 30 demon stones.
Breakthrough efficiency.
Converted to the current Demon Stone unit, that's 1 Freesia for 30 Demon Stones.
2 60 Demon Stones in Freesia, Isn't that great?
I want to tell you to shoot your skills every day from now on.
... Well, he'll definitely hate it because he'll pass out for a whole day.
"I will keep it, I promise I will keep it! So I don't want to hunt demon stones anymore!
"Brother, you look so bad..."
"If you're so frightened, Mr. Friesia will keep his word."
Friesia, who had smiled and rejoiced until earlier, is stretching her spine and giving a beautiful salute by stretching her expression.
... Yeah, you're going to keep your word on this properly.
This time it's possible to fight enough opponents to break the temple's boundaries, and if it's true, I'd like to take Friesia and Luna with me.
But we can't do that because we have Mr. Irina and the others.
Maybe there are demons in the worst case possible, not Diabols......
Will you be ready to find out when that happens and think about calling Luna and Friesia on the ground?
