“Thank for coming, I’ve been having trouble getting out and about lately, so I haven’t had many customers.”
“You have it rough, we’ll still be in town, so we’ll come back again!”
“Hahaha, please come again!”
We took a walk around the town, focusing on the commercial area to the east, looking for anything strange, anything that might help us find Lux.
It’s already around noon, and now we’re at the general goods, asking for information and buying a couple of potions to heal wounds and magic.
“The town’s inhabitants are all good people. The restaurant we just visited was very nice and the food was delicious.”
“Yes! Let’s eat at many restaurants while we’re here. But I’m surprised the lords didn’t have a bad reputation.”
“They seemed to have a good exterior, especially that vixen. I don’t think the idiot son thought much of it, but I guess the heir to a lord can’t be doing anything that the townspeople don’t like. If Zanbia-san was such a person, he would have been recalled by the townspeople.”
Basleigh-sensei implied that an arrogant lord would be at a disadvantage in an election, and I agreed. There’s an election every few years, so it’s only natural to keep your popularity with the townspeople in mind.
“In the meantime, that’s true for the lord and his family, the man we are looking for, Lux, seems to be a good person. A lot of people were worried when he disappeared.”
“Yeah, he’s not an adventurer, but he seems to be working as a kind that does all kinds of things.”
When we asked about Lux, everyone said that he was a great help and that they hoped he would be found soon. It seems that he and his sister Naja are helping the town in various ways, and they are worried about him now that he’s disappeared.
“I’m relieved to see that he seems to have taken the words of the headmaster to heart, even though I was swept up in his schemes during the first-year competition. It’s not like he’s only wearing a mask in the academy.”
“I’m sure he had his differences with his parents, but I’m sure he has learned what’s right from competing with Lars-kun, the second son of the same noble family. At that age, when you have a bad experience, your personality is twisted, but it can be corrected by meeting other people. And that was you, Lars-kun.”
Basleigh-sensei said proudly. I was embarrassed by her praise, and I asked her back.
“You seem to know a lot, but did you have a complex too, Basleigh-sensei?”
“N- …… Fufufu, that’s–“
“That’s?”
“It’s a secret. Well, enough about me! Now we have to find Lux-kun.”
Makina and I were both taken aback by Basleigh-sensei’s answer, and when we saw her back in front of us, we said, “What the hell is that?”
In the end, we didn’t find out anything about Lux’s whereabouts until the evening, and at 20 o’clock, we went to the guild to start drinking with Birdie and the others again.
As you can see, as an adventurer, he didn’t tell me anything important about the client …… or when he was going to take action, just that he was fooling around with Basleigh-sensei.
“This is a tough drink, you know? Do you think you can handle it? Kuku ……”
“It’s good that asked! Can’t you see the bottle! I am Basleigh, the woman who can make the impossible possible ……!”
Of course she can’t, so I took the downed Basleigh-sensei back to the inn. After giving her a drink of water and a bath, she seemed to calm down and we gathered around to continue our conversation about the day.
“Well, we didn’t get any information from the Clans. They might know about Lux, but I can’t say for sure. But if he called people from the castle with pretense, I think it’s important to keep an eye on the entrance and near the lord’s mansion. Or perhaps they’ll show himself tomorrow or later ……”
“You want me to inquire in the middle of the night? No. If that were the case, it would not be surprising if they approached them earlier ……”
“My brother and the others will be arriving tomorrow afternoon, so let’s ask when we talk to Zanbia-san again. And while we’re at it, I’d like to know about what’s going on at the guild too. I’ll check the documents at night, and I’ll wake up Fath-san if there’s anything.”
“Okay, I understand. I think I and Makina should rest first. What about Lars?”
“I’m going to go back to my room and get some rest. I have some things to do early in the morning, so I might not be there in the morning.”
“Yeah. You’ll use Levitation and Invisible to search from the sky, right?”
We’ve known each other for so long that she knows what I’m going to do without telling them. It is Makina who is not selfish when she wants to go too. As I was leaving the room with the three of them, Sephiro clutched at my leg like a hug.
“!”
“Oh, what’s wrong? Are you sure you don’t want to be with Makina?”
“!!”
When I said that, he climbed up and sat on my shoulder, blossoming and taking a breath.
“Oh, you want to be with Lars today, don’t you? Take the cage with you then.”
“Hmm, okay. You’re really smart, you know that? You’re so quiet.”
“♪”
Perhaps he was happy to be praised, he rubbed his cheek against mine. It was rough because it was made of wood, but he looked so happy that I didn’t scold him for it. After returning to my room and filling my cup with water, I lay down on my bed, closed my eyes and let my thoughts wander.
“…… To pursue Lux, Zambia and his team are moving pretty slow. His wife, Sonia, and Varnish were annoyed, but when they find him, I’m sure they’ll have the same attitude. I think Lux wanted to call people from the castle even if he was lying, but it’s not that important to the lord? …… Ah, no …… that’s not it, I think Lux grabbed something important from the lord and disappeared, but the lord don’t realize it.”
— That possibility is quite high. We’ll need to find Lux before they realize it.
And the client of the birdie and the others who were gathering at the guild. I’ll have to ask Zanbia tomorrow and see if he’ll be shaken.
“Fuah ……”
“♪”
“What, are you going to sleep on the futon? Well, okay, but don’t complain about getting squashed, okay?”
I yawned, and Sephiro got into my futon and nodded his head. It kind of reminds me of when Aina was little. No, she’s five years old, so she’s small enough, but she’s been sleeping on my futon a lot since she was about three. I wonder if it’s because the Sephiro I saw in my dream was close to her age? While I was thinking about this, I fell asleep, and then, in my dream–
Maybe next time will be an intermission ……? And for the first time in a long time, that kid is appears!
Thank you for reading!

“We’ve got to show the Jack-of-all-Trades anytime now”
He’s not been doing much of that lately.
“Maybe we should have done it all at once when he was a tamer.”
I’ll think about it when the book comes out ……
