137 Episode 137 "Letizia-Milfe Welcome Party" Trends and Countermeasures ".txt (2/2)

Cutlass is squirming around, her cheeks red from earlier.

She's a beginner who just woke up as a girl, so this is her first time buying a swimsuit. So she didn't know what kind of swimsuit to choose, and in the end she decided to let me choose for her. That's why I'm following her, and to stop her from leaving Fynn alone, because she was about to buy a swimsuit that was about 98% revealing.

'You know what, Aine?'

What?　Nah-kun.

What can I do to get Letitia in a good mood: ......?

And the only part of the letter that made me angry was the pressure of the letter.

I'm going to be asking a lot of you when I come over here, and I want to calm him down as much as I can.

You want me to give you a 'Letitia Only' tour to make up for it?

Are you looking to pick a fight with Letitia?

Is that a problem?

Imagine?

I tried.

Leticia is being carried away in a carriage next to us.

Letitia, next to us, who have a big room at the inn, is alone in her room.

Leticia is relaxing in a private bath, shielding herself from the wall of the bathing pool and the chattering crowd.

...... It's funny, we're supposed to be taking good care of it, but I can only imagine the anger.

Yeah?

I think I'd rather just go out for fun like normal.

''That's right. When things have settled down about the ”Incoming Lord of Ilgafa” and we have confirmed that the ”Mystery Guild” is not messing with us, we will live carefree for a while ...... and then we will go out again. All together, right?

Saying that, the sister in the maid's uniform smiled happily.

Sure, that would be nice. This trip was halfway through because Iris had been called back, too.

It would be nice to get away and relax, to clear up.

It's not something we want to rush into, so let's take our time and think about it together.

...... So the problem is 'The Next Irgafa Lords O's party'.

I hope it's just me getting over it. If nothing else, it's a good thing.

''Oh, by the way, Cutlass?''

What the hell?

Cutlass looked at me with a bright red face as he suddenly spoke to me.

He used his hand to fix his hair, held his chest, and then gave me a nervous look.

What is it, sir?

What kind of swimsuit would you like to see, Cutlass?

You sound as if you wear it to be seen by a certain someone.

Cutlass's eyes widened and his voice came out. Looking at me.

...... I've been trying not to think about that kind of thing, though.

No. Cutlass is Nai-kun's slave, after all.

I know, sir.

When Nay-kun says, 'I want to see Cutlass like this,' you have to be ready for it.

You know what you're doing, sir.

Or not?

............ No, of course not... there is... ......

It's okay. Aine will make sure you're well-coordinated.

Aine gently placed her hand on Cutlass' shoulder.

As she slowly patted his back, Cutlass gradually calmed down.

'Aine is the 'big sister' of the party, so I want you to talk to her about anything. Cutlass, Fynn and Aine want to get along with each other.

Yeah, well, there's that... ......

Cutlass put his face close to Aine's ear.

'Actually, since Arujidono 'rebuilt' me (blah blah blah blah),'

'It's very normal. Follow your instincts (blah, blah, blah).

But I'm a novice at being a girl, so to hell with it.

All right. We'll talk about it when I get home. Aine's recommendation is... (whispers)

Whispering whispering. It's whispering.

...... What is he whispering about? I can't hear him at all because he's walking.

But the more he talks, the more his face lights up, so it's not a bad thing.

”Ainedo is a wonderful person!

But we've been here before, same thing!

As expected of a slave of Arujidono. Thanks to you, I can serve you without worrying about it. ......

Cutlass folds his hands in prayer and closes his eyes like he's impressed.

Well, I hope we've become friends.

We're walking towards the center of the town. The reason why there are so many people here is because the New Lord's Fair is coming up soon. This is the second festival for the town's residents, following the 'Festival of the Sea Dragon'.

There are banners on the building that say ”New Lord Banzai” and ”Kairyu no Miko-sama Banzai”.

Didn't I hear Iris say that it's her dream to gradually turn them into just 'New Lord Banzai'?

'Lordship's Banzai...... really, I hope nothing else happens......'

In this town, we are only strangers, so we have no right to get involved in the new lord's affairs. But this town is our place. So we want to do what we can. There's not much I can do, though.

...... The other question is, when will we do the experiment on that one?

The ability to rebuild a skill structure, and at level 6, the number of abilities increased... ”skill crossing.

During this time, after 'Rebuilding' Cutlass and Fynn, 'Ability Reconstruction' had been leveled up. 'Crossing of Ability' is a derivative skill of 'Ability Rebuild' that was increased at that time.

The only thing I can tell is the name, but the effects are predictable.

If I'm right, ...... maybe this is a skill to make a cheat character even cheatier. And it's pretty strong. Probably so much so that the 'visitors' we've fought so far won't be a problem.

'Later, I'll take Cecil and Rita to a large place, ...... out of sight, ............

Hey, Nae? Arujidono ......?

I shouldn't have done it. Before I knew it, I was looking serious.

I put my hands on Aine and Cutlass' heads and start walking.

Well, first of all, let's get Leticia and Cutlass' swimsuits - well, before that.

Shall we stop by the Adventurer's Guild to gather information, just in case?

...... Hey, do you know what it is?　They said the road from Metekal to Irgafa is closed to traffic.

””...... huh?”

The voices we heard as soon as we entered the guild stopped us in our tracks.

Inside the adventurer's guild, which had more people than before, there were many people whispering to each other. Adventurers with swords, people who looked like wizards, and even a merchant who looked like he had come to ask for a job, but with a serious look on his face.

'I heard from a caravan headed for the commercial city of Metekal: ......

'Yesterday I could get through normally, and now they say it's swarming with the undead. Skeletons, zombies, and ghosts. ......

I heard that the Ilgafa Lordship House will soon be asking the Adventurer's Guild to take them down: ......

The road from the commercial city of Metekal to here in Ilgafa.

I remember the contents of the letter.

Letitia said she was leaving Metekal when the letter arrived: ......

'Aine, Cutlass. Do you mind if I take a quick detour before I go shopping?

If the street is just closed to traffic, just wait and see.

That's all there is to it, but it's ...... oddly curious.

Leticia is trying to be a righteous nobleman, you know. If someone is in trouble, she's going to recklessly help them.

In that case, what we should do ...... is to...

”Let's swing by the House of Ilgafa and see if we can find Iris. Maybe he'll let us know what kind of information he's got.

Of course I am. I'm worried about Aine, too.

I have a bad feeling too, sir. ...... I'd like to know what's going on.

Aine grabbed my hand, and Cutlass held my chest wrapped in The Armor of Balal.

What I'm curious about is the 'swarm of undead', but there's no point in thinking about .......

We'll start with the right information. It's only after that that you decide what to do.

Of course - we and all the slaves and then our ”best friends” are the top priority.
