Trying to get into the house, now Hula came.
"Good morning, Sorta. I came as promised yesterday."
I am surprised by the subsequent visitors and even more surprised that it is Hula.
"What? What, that face... maybe you won't forget that I'm coming, will you?
Aotearoa remembered in a hurry what she had forgotten in her heart, but regained her expression and became a calm face.
"You've made up your mind I remember. I'm just a little surprised the visitors kept coming."
Fortunately, the distance was so far apart that the cold sweat on his forehead did not appear to have broken off.
"Hmm, okay. In the meantime, when it comes to crime prevention? Let me tell you about it."
"Okay, I haven't changed the keys to the house, so I'll give them to you before you go out. So crime prevention is the gateway, let's go to the gate."
When Aotearoa regains her calm, she directs Hula to the gate.
"Use this key to lock the gate"
When you come outside the gate, when you take the key out of your pocket, you pass the magic so Hula doesn't know, and set the locking range to the gate and the stone walls that surround it.
"Hmm, what do you mean? The gate doesn't have a key..."
"Fine, put the key out in front of the gate and turn it around with the image of locking it."
Hula, handed the key by Aotearoa, will do as he is told, with an unconvincing face.
The gates are locked after a chattering noise.
"What? Why? I don't even have a keyhole!
Hula is surprised and compares the keys, the gate and Ethereal's face in turn as he jumps back a step.
Something's wrong with that, Ethereum spills a laugh.
"Did I surprise you? It's a magic item, with the magic of locking. The subject is around this gate-centric site."
"And around the grounds? Don't you just lock the gate?
Hula was even more surprised by what Aotearoa said, and also seemed to have no heart or increased hair volume.
"Oh, well, think of it as something like that. Locking it up should make it harder to climb up the wall and get in."
"I don't know, but you're amazing. I can't believe I have this..."
Hula was so surprised that she passed through the surprise that she was impressed.
"If you use this key to get in, you can get it in fine, but if you try to force it in, you're inhibited by the wall of magic. Enough security, well, I didn't put anything big down. So, will you open it again?
Hula unlocks it and returns it to Ethereum.
"I know about crime prevention for now, can anything else be done as contracted yesterday? I'll ask if you want to change it."
"... no, I'm fine. I made yesterday's contract impromptu, and it's not a problem."
Think a little, but shake your head.
"Yes, I'll be fine with that one, too. And then... you're not leaving right away, are you? I don't know what to do with the keys."
"We're leaving before noon, so I'll get it to the store before then."
"Okay. I should be in the store at that hour, so I'll be waiting."
When Hula turns her back on Ethereum, she returns in a movement that turns the key.
If you're dropping off Hula, there are more visitors.
She left the mansion and headed left, but the visitor came from the right.
"Good morning, Mr. Sota."
It was Mirfa who came.
"Mirfa... that's a lot of visitors day. Have you heard from Iri that he's going on a journey?"
"Yes, after Mr. Sorta was here, there was a report from Iri to me and the Alliance Master. I heard you're going to Elf Country..."
Mirfa gets a tough look. It looked like Karena and I had something to think about in our hometown.
"Yeah, I'll tell you what, if you're talking about difficulty getting into the country or a lot of people hating you, it's because Karena already told you."
I shake my neck to the side and laugh bitterly.
"No, I won't because it wouldn't make sense to give advice. I'm here today to give you a letter of introduction from the Alliance Master."
I'm going to give you a single envelope just like Bath.
"There's an Adventurer's Guild in that country too, so I guess this makes things a little easier to talk about"
"Thanks, I won't be in trouble for a lot of it."
Aotearoa becomes the back pocket of her pants when she receives it.
"A lot? Do you have any other references?
"Elbas and the Gran I just got, that's the third one in Karena I'm going to get. Each one of them is a reference in a different position, so I hope one of them gets caught up well."
"When do you get to know Karena... Something tells me that Sota runs down the path that normal people take over the years"
Mirfa says in a slight twitch.
"Really? I don't know what's normal... well, people are different. Some are slow, but others are fast."
"Ha, so convincing when Sota says... heh, well, maybe that's what Sota sounds like. I thought you wouldn't mind the details, come to the report of traveling to the guild in discipline"
Aotearoa tilts her neck.
"Oh, isn't reporting an obligation? I used to think I heard that... was that a mistake?
Aeta had gone to report because she remembered what her companions had told her on her previous journey.
"Um, I've heard that used to happen, but now you're arbitrary"
"Well, then you didn't have to go anywhere else."
"Still, if you report it, it helps because you can grasp our guild based adventurers"
To Ethereum scratching her head, Mirfa smiles.
"... Whatever, just say hello to Gran because I'm leaving the city empty for a while. And thanks for the letter of introduction."
"Okay. Now if you'll excuse me."
"Uh, and... thanks for taking the time to deliver Mirfa too"
Ethereum thanks Mirfa for trying to return for a courtesy.
"What, no... you're welcome"
Mirfa is surprised for a moment, but smiles and thanks again for the occasion.
Aotea enters the house when she can't see Mirfa, and sweats in the bath.
Ed goes back to his bunk and falls asleep for a while until Ethereum comes out.
