196 Episode 196 "Slave Girl (and Best Friend) Adventurer Rescue Strategy + Romantic Comedy Reference Plan (Part 2)".txt (2/2)

The knight girl gripped her great sword and stomped on the ground.

She smiled fearlessly in front of the 'sea crossing goblins' on the raft.

'If you're here, I don't need anything. Your father will understand that I'm lost without you. He likes pretty things, too. He'll understand.

Hey, sissies!

”Come on, Goblins of the Sea!　I'm going to play for my life to see who's more warped, you or us...

'...... Sorry. It doesn't seem to be helpful to us.

...... Yeah. I guess that's a bit of a different category.

...... Huh?　It's so helpful. It's an eye-opener.

...... I'm going to have to be quick about it because it's dangerous!

A voice called out.

The sister knight and the new knight boy turned around and saw an unfamiliar figure across the rocky terrain.

''Activate!　”Forced Civility

It's nice to meet you, Goblins of the Sea. Allow me to greet you graciously!　I'll say that I'm - I'll say that I'm the 'spirit that guards the island'. I look forward to working with you!

Then the figure bowed to the goblin.

Deeply. The top of his head was just below his knees.

It's not so much a bow as a forward bend.

”Uga? ”Guffaw.” ”Giggles?

Ah, yes.... well, well, polite to you.

The ”sea crossing goblins,” the sister knight girl, and the new knight boy also bowed deeply as they were trapped. The top of their heads are just below their knees, just like the human shadows.

''Gbo?　'Gabo Gabo Gabo Gabo!' ”Gobbledy gobbledy gobbledy gobbledy gobbledy gobbledy gobbledy gobbledy gobbledygook!

What? What's that noise?

They couldn't see it, but there was a catastrophe on the beach.

The goblins were short.

Moreover, they had all just gotten off the raft and were waist-deep in seawater.

What would happen if they lowered their heads to just below their knees in that condition?

The 'sea crossing goblins' who plunged their faces into the sea were spitting foam out of their mouths.

''Gobabba...'' ''─ ─ Bubba'' and ''──── Guo''

A chase!　'Double chanting (double cast)' - 'Water spirit, wall in front of the enemy', 'Water wall' x (call) 2!

”'Boba baba baba baba baba!'?

The goblins who had been freed from the Manners Gears were trapped by two walls of water.

The water wall is a large stream of water gushing upward from below. The goblins were trapped in the water wall and could not move a single muscle.

The goblins sucked in more water from their mouths and noses, and were also tripped up by the waves.

””────.gov”

The unconscious goblins drifted off the surface of the sea and drifted away.

''............ awesome ......''

The sister knight girl and the new knight boy just watched the goblins disappear in the waves.

''It wasn't very helpful, but I'm happy for you...''

I salute you for trying to protect the little one.

...... It's fun to dress my little brother in cute clothes. ...... I know, I've never heard of it before.

There are many forms of love, I think. I wish you happiness.

After saying that for the last time, the figure disappeared.

The rest of us were left with a stunned new knight boy and a sister knight girl.

''That was .......''

'The 'Spirit of the Island' has blessed us, hasn't it? It's wonderful!

Positive, sis.

Come on, let's get together with the others. I've got to tell you about this.

With that, the new knight boy and the sister knight girl ran off.

In the shadow of the rocky place

It wasn't very helpful, was it?

'That's not true, Cecil,'

'Yes. By swapping the genders of each other's looks, we might discover something new. Those two have given me some important clues.

I see!

'You've proven that dressing up as a man can bring you closer to Nagi, Cutlass-chan.

On the other hand, there is a way of thinking that by having Nah-kun dress up in women's clothing, we can be together at any time. With Nah-kun in a woman's dress, I feel comfortable sleeping with him every night.

That's Aine.

I'm sure Nagi will forgive you if you say this is an island-only thing.

Cecil, Rita and Aine stood on the rocky shore, staring at the setting sun.

'It looks like the adventurers have reached the beach too. The fishermen are helping them onto the boat.

We're not due back in an hour, right?

I've made a lot of discoveries on this island.

But I wasn't just running around the island to help the adventurers.

A field of flowers that could be a good atmosphere...

A cave where we can be alone together...

Naturally, I've already checked out the accommodation hut.

”Thank you, my dear. Lady Letitia.

Letitia-sama was able to get rid of the demons with ease. I'm really grateful for that.

That's a nobleman of justice. Thank you.

And I've done my fair share.

Leticia puffs her chest out with an embarrassed face.

I'm only here to save the missing adventurer. I'm sure you've all had your hopes fulfilled at ...... well, it was just an afterthought. It's nothing to be thankful for,

Leticia patted her hair as if embarrassed.

''Well, now that the rescue is over, it's time to get ready to go home. You'll report the completion of the quest to the guild, and then we'll go to the fisherman's place to book a 'desert island trip', right?

It was!

'We made it look like we were a mystery to the adventurers, so it's fine to say, 'We went to the island and a mysterious being helped us out.'

I'm sure the shipping service will resume once they know the island is safe.

Leave the reporting to me. I can handle it. You must prepare for your journey.

The adventurers have been saved, the demons have been defeated.

All that's left is to book the trip, prepare for the journey - and wait for Nagi to come back.

I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of trip we'll all have to take together.

Leticia laughs while looking at Cecil, Rita and Aine, who are filled with such anticipation.

''...... men's clothing. Hmm, I'd like to see Nagi's reaction. You're my best friend, right? That's about as natural as it gets .......

Muttering to myself, so that no one else can hear.

And those adventurers who were rescued.

'What?　Have you been saved by the spirits of the island, too?

'Yes. Thanks to you ...... my child was saved too.

'I was hoping the guild would send a rescue, but it looks like it's been taken care of before that .......

There's no way a human being could do something like that ......

...... the wonderful 'Spirit of the Island'

When I return, I'll have to go to ...... and tell the guild about this legend. ......

A few days later. In the port city of Ilgafa.

Did you hear that, brother?　Rumor of an uninhabited island by the resort.

This is my home in the port city of Ilgafa.

As I was getting ready to meet Kerkator, Iris came into the living room.

”A deserted island, is that the one we're going to?

Yes, sir. In that place, a spirit appeared to protect the island. He saved the child in the belly of a young girl, revived the legend of the elves and wiped out a large number of demons.

...... That's great.

So there was a dragon like being on that island too? I'm surprised.

If there is such a thing, I would love to meet it.

'I think I might know about The Ancient Elf. I'd love to talk to you about it.

Both Cutlass and Raphilia roll their eyes.

'I'm looking forward to meeting you too,'

...... but ...... the deserted island trip has been booked to capacity.

Iris nodded disappointedly.

'As soon as the adventurers who escaped from the island reported the situation to the guild, the fishermen who handle the boats were inundated with reservations for the trip. ...... It seems that the boats and the accommodations are already booked up for the next six months...' ...I'm sorry. Big brother.

'No, it's not Iris' fault. I'm just sorry I won't be able to meet you, Spirit.

I'm sorry to hear that. ......

Me, Raphilia and Cutlass slumped our shoulders.

If we go to that island, we'll be able to see the legend firsthand. You're going to be inundated with reservations. That's the way it has to be.

''That's why Iris has booked another trip to another deserted island with a different mouth.

You're moving fast!

We don't want to be booked up again.

Iris chuckled and continued.

'I arranged for a fast horse to be sent to the retreat yesterday. The one I arranged is a little small volcanic island with a hot spring. I'm sure you'll be able to relax there.

Thanks, Iris.

It's just a shame we won't be able to meet the ”Spirit of the Island,” though.

I'm sure Cecil, Rita, Aine and Letitia would be delighted to see you.

Well, then, shall we go and report to Kerkator?

”Yes, sir. Brother.

Yes, sir. Master!

I'm very nervous, sir.

So we packed up our gear and decided to head to the ”Holy Land of the Sea Dragons”.

Meanwhile, at the sanctuary, in Micheline...

'Ohhhhhh!'

Oh, that was too much!

...... It's a good thing you were able to deceive us.

After returning to the resting place, Leticia and the others completed their report at the Adventurer's Guild.

The reason Leticia and the others were able to defeat the demons was thanks to the guidance of the 'Island Spirit'. They claimed that they had only done as instructed, and it was accepted. In fact, it was because the only people who saw Leticia and the others were the first couple of adventurers they helped.

Besides, the Adventurer's Guild was already buzzing with the legend of The Spirit of the Island. The six adventurers who had returned earlier were eager to explain the legend. The Adventurer's Guild was getting extremely excited by the enthusiastic stories of the six in love.

That's why it took a little while for Leticia and the others to finish reporting the completion of the quest.

And then──by the time they finished──the 'Desert Island Trip' was fully booked.

A six-month wait. There were even dozens of people on the waiting list for cancellation.

Stop rolling all over the place. Cecil, Miss Rita. I'm as disappointed as you are.

Sighing, Leticia sighed.

Those three couples were helpful to her in many ways, too.

The last one was especially valuable. Dressing up in men's clothes and developing a friendship with Nagi seemed like a fun thing to do. Of course, we couldn't do it in town, so we'd have to do it on a deserted island.

...... I've gone too far, too: ......

Letitia held her head in her hands.

She's a girl her age, too. Seeing three couples in love, she may have lost her composure. Letitia was sorry about it, but...

Speaking of which, where's Aine?

After leaving the Adventurer's Guild, he left the Adventurer's Guild and took a separate trip to ”take care of some business” and hasn't come back.

Aine must be depressed too. I hope she's not thinking of something strange.

...... It's Aine, so she should be fine.

I found it!　It's another deserted island tour!

You're bouncing back too quickly!

Aine popped into the villa, clutching the parchment.

What was written there was a different deserted island tour than this one. It seems that Aine has already booked it with the pocket money she saved up.

It's a good idea to have a hot spring on the island ...... but Hayama came yesterday and said it's already booked. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it by checking out their website. I'll ask Nah-kun about it later, and if it's not possible, Aine will pay the cancellation fee.

Aine is going to the island with Nagi-san at any cost, isn't she?

...... ugh.

Aine's face turns bright red at Leticia's words.

Anyway, I'm going to send a letter to Nay-kun tonight to ask for his permission to transfer. You can't stay depressed forever. Both Cecil-san and Rita-san are preparing for it.

Aine claps her hands with a bang.

Cecil and Rita are back on their feet in no time, and they quickly get ready to go.

Leticia smiles gently as she watches them. Then she too begins to prepare for the trip. Aine hums out a satisfying huff and puff.

And so, the four members of the Orusuban clan's great activity on the uninhabited island comes to an end──.

It was to be the start of another uninhabited island tour that was unexpectedly changed.
