Shut-in Magician

The next day we walked in the city of Loire, and they both decided to take us where they wanted to go, because there was nowhere they wanted to go.

I went to the market first thing in the morning and bought it out. Anna and I met by chance and they said it contained the product we were asking for, so we'll have it. In addition, I asked them to get the products they were interested in. Siu seems to be good at it for her, so she just accepted it with her face.

Then I also went to see Berhelt and Edra, both of whom were fine and seemed happy.

I asked if there was anything I could do to help, but I was told that the new butler apprentice and the like would work well for me and nothing in particular. Berhelt used to sound his wand more and more and talk aloud, too, but after seeing him for a long time, he was calm and had a year-to-year style. When I got married, the man said he was going to grow up, but I was strangely impressed that it was true.

Lunch will be in the opposite direction, but I went to Doran's store.

We talked nostalgic here and had a delicious lunch.

He said he wasn't tired yet, so he took the two straight to the Adventurer's Guild.

When I went to the desk, Chloe was sitting, making sure I was free after noon, then I rang.

"Hello, long time no see"

"Well! Siu, it's not you. What, are you back?

"I was on a long vacation, and I happened to have a flying dragon flight, so I was given a ride. I miss you and I stopped by."

"Glad to hear it. Yeah, I'm glad you stopped by. Something I wanted to tell you."

With that said, she took her seat off in solidarity with the woman next door.

Bring Shiu and the others straight to the reception room in the guild. Passing officials also call me when they notice Siu.

Tea and sweets come out when you go into the room, and it's all over the place.

"You're with your friends. I'm sorry, I hope the time is all right."

"What, a longer story? For once, I think it's okay because I stopped by for a break. Luca, are you sleepy?

"Yeah. I can wait quietly!

"Um, if it seems to get in the way, me, no, me and Luca, you'll be waiting outside,"

In reply to the two, Chloe waved hastily.

"No, it's not. If you two are okay, have some tea and sweets. Right?"

She laughs gently.

Sorol was howling, courteously nodding yes, and grabbing Luca a a treat.

Both of you, when you have it, eat it with a small mouth.

Chloe narrowed her eyes as she watched how it was.

"You know, first of all, it's personal, but I, I got pregnant"

"Wow, you are. Congratulations!

dyed cheeks, Chloe reported embarrassed.

"I was going to tell you if you celebrated my marriage, but it's a private letter, so I thought it might be annoying. I'm sorry, you came. And then, oh, my God."

"Yeah. I'm glad you told me. Good for you. Zafiro would be happy."

"Yeah. Very much. I was surprised and dancing."

Once I heard about those developments, I went on to talk to them.

"Actually, there's another one, I'm talking about the worse"

As soon as the expression darkened, she lurked her voice.

"The state has asked me to arrange a nomination. If you find this without question, it's a kind of compulsive request that any adventurer would have to catch, and you know it because you were taking a course, right?

"Yes."

"However, there are exemptions from compulsory requests when the other person is a highly capable person, but this time it's not particularly true."

I felt like I was postponing the answer, and Siu asked Zubari.

"That, maybe someone who has something to do with me?

"... Yep. Do you remember a girl named Sofia-Obelio?"

For a moment, I wondered who it was and raised my voice to Ah.

"Huh? 'Cause he says he's under house arrest in the Ministry of Magic."

But it's been a long time since I thought about it. It wasn't strange to be released. I tilt my neck wondering why that is the nomination arrangement.

"They've been listening to me for a long time in the Ministry of Magic. Ultimately, they were completely sanctified and purified, but the original evil deeds also appeared, so this can't be put out in the world. Though I think it's pathetic, there are times when a woman who has lived somewhat in a position decides to be admitted to a convent. He escaped during the convoy."

"Running away," he said, with someone's help?

"It's probably about the original family. Since the Obelios have done so many evil deeds, they have been stripped of their merchant status and consequently they have been unable to stay in Loire. It seems that the Lord's sin was to expropriate property and redistribute it to people who have been abused, so it was a sin offset."

I sighed and did my hand on my cheek.

With such a troubled face, Chloe continues to smudge.

"I think it's very warm content, but you resented it. Let's cut and kill every soldier we've been escorting."

"Eh."

"They say you must have hired him for a while. At least no one was dispatched from the Adventurers Guild."

"... So you had some hidden property"

"Yes, it is. Those things are also seen as a lot of problems. Anyway, we were talking about some kind of retaliation against you. It's just, you'd be in Latricia now, wouldn't you? So as a country or a guild, let's look for a nomination first."

"Well, you've been talking about it lately, you escaped."

"About seven days ago. I contacted the victims in the Wang Dynasty, but in your case, Xiu was out of the country, so it was the last time. I'm sorry."

"Yeah."

Looks like there was a lot going on in the guild. Chloe sighed again.

Siu laughed and showed her to reassure her that she was okay.

"I have a child in my stomach, so you can't look like that. I'll be fine. I need to think about my kids first!

"... yeah, right. Thank you, Mr. Siu."

She smiled after a cup of tea that had cooled down a little.

Then I heard about the monastery, etc.

"It's certainly not the place women of their age want to go."

"Is that famous? It's like someone who commits a crime goes there."

"Are you a criminal or do you want to isolate yourself from the public? It's a place where only those who give everything to God with lofty thoughts are told to endure."

They say it's a monastery in the Adriana, deep in the mountains, that protects a place called the Holy Fountain or the Fountain of Miracles. The co-located temple is also considered one of the highest places, and it seems that the clergy wants to come someday.

"It's famous for its name Vilgo Calkel. You know what?

If it means a virgin's prison, I know it because I read it in a book. And it's a great name.

"I've heard of you, but that's a scary name"

"It's called a maiden fort, isn't it? That's what they call it because they're all gathered together. It's a tough life."

"Oh, yeah, you are"

I laughed and nodded vaguely. Thank you. The ancient language seems to be changing and changing its meaning. There are so many such things that I didn't even point them out.

Chloe and I have heard of several other recent incidents in the King's Capital.

The last time I asked her what she wanted to celebrate, she told me to stroke her head once in the baby after she was born.

Near the center of Steyburn, they have a custom of having people like this stroke their baby heads in the future who wish they could grow up like this.

A boy who is healthy for a long-lived person, a smart person, a beautiful woman.

Then he says the future of the baby opens up a lot of paths.

"Okay. If it's okay with me, I'd love to. Let me know when you're born."

That's why I broke up with her.

Since I left the guild, I've been worried sick about Sorol listening to me, so I told him about Sophia and made him listen.

"I'm not in Wang Du, and I'm fine. Sorry, that was a scary story."

"No, I am. I'm more worried about Master Siu than that. It's terrible to resent someone even though they're totally bad."

"It looks like you grew up spoiled, and even if you have money and live happily ever after, you're poor as a human being. I wish I had noticed it somewhere and been able to fix it."

"... Master Siu is sweet."

Shiu laughed bitterly as he spoke smudgingly.

"Kind, I wonder? I'm on my own, too. I just don't want to harm anyone else."

"… I, too, have made up my mind"

As Siu urged the story to continue, Sorol looked forward and spoke of her determination.

"I will never wield violence. I don't get angry about irrational things."

"Yeah."

"... of course, I think there are times when I need to"

"Right."

"Luca, I want to protect you, and if I do something wrong, I have to be angry. But"

"I think you can have the power you need. However, you can't go wrong where you use it. I always think about it, too. I wonder if I can use my powers here and now."

"Even Master Siu?

"Of course that is. 'Cause if you get it wrong, it's just violence."

"... just, violence"

"You're scared. I'm afraid to have power. But what I don't have is more scary."

Life just goes unilaterally abridged.

Sounds like Sorol, who was a slave, figured it out painfully.

"You also have the power to keep them from using violence. I wonder if that's why you're studying."

When I squealed, Sorol nodded to me beside me.

"I can help myself and Luca, too. I'll do my best to have that power."

"Yeah."

There was a normal tone, and that's why I could see his resolve. I'm sure Sorol will have a good life. I felt that way.
