I’m glad to have you here today.

The mansion in the daytime, the ‘Tsubame’s Benefit’ sub-branch.

Ena was there, wearing the same uniform as Erza.

Her head was lowered and she was feeling respectful.

But when she raised her head, she was already back to her usual self.

”That’s great, Ryota-san, you have two exclusive secondees. Are you happy?Hey, happy?

She came up to me and poked me with her elbow, “Uri-Uri,” she said.

‘I’m not happy and I still don’t quite understand what’s going on: ……

After breakfast, I was about to go to the dungeon when she suddenly came to visit me.

So, out of the blue, she went from “Thanks for your help” to “Are you happy? Combo.

I don’t know what’s going on, I just don’t know what’s going on.

You see, Ryota-san did a great job yesterday.

‘The great one yesterday ……?Oh.

I smiled, turned to Elsa and bobbed my head to the point of bailing, holding up my sword to the point of bailing.

“Sorry, did I bother you?

No.

‘Yeah, yeah, it’s not like it’s annoying or anything. It’s just awesome. Oh, man, I wish I could’ve seen it. Elsa, I heard you were drowning in a sea of potatoes.

I’m sorry for the inconvenience you’re going through, physically.

‘Sorry,’ he said, bowing his head once more.

I transferred them all to the head office to save Elsa, and some of them drowned there too. Everyone was so surprised that they couldn’t keep their mouths shut. They were impressed and sighed and sighing and were so impressed that they were the only ones who could do this,

What was that last one?Well, I’m sure Ena is exaggerating.

‘And that’s your decision?Just because Elsa hasn’t gotten around to it.

Well, we’ve been talking about getting more people here for a while now.

Ina winked at me when she said “Hey.

Ina has been consistently friendly since we met.

The gesture suits her well.

‘Is that so?’

‘I mean, one Elsa would be enough for the day-to-day operations, but you know, Lyota-san, there’s a lot of things that aren’t everyday, right?

Ah, …… yes.

I couldn’t help but chuckle at this, because I’m aware of it myself.

Yes, I have a lot of events that aren’t everyday.

Whenever I see something, I want to get involved in it, someone like Cell will come to me with a request, and someone will come to me who is in trouble for overdoing it.

Ena is right, there’s a lot of things that aren’t routine for me.

‘That’s why. I want to send another person out here to deal with that kind of situation. There’s that thing from yesterday.

I giggled again.

A series of drop bullets fired at the highest hardness parent and child slime.

It produced and transferred at tens of kilometers per second, and when I heard about it later, I heard that it was a scene like a slot machine jackpot.

I got a little excited myself when I tried to imagine it.

So that’s why I was sent out today.

I see, but how come it’s Ena?

What?

Ena is upset for some reason, as if she’s been struck by a falsehood.

”In my image, you’re sent to a lot of places every time there’s something wrong. You’re in a lot of places, right?

Ummm, well, …… yeah.

For some reason, Ena was crisp and looked away.

She wondered, but continued further.

”So I think it’s quite a force in ‘Returning the Swallow’s Grace’. Wouldn’t it be a shame to keep those things fixed in one place?

Yeah, that’s …… that’s the one. ……

Yeah?

He stutters further. Is it that hard to answer the question?

Yeah, well, my family’s always been very good to me.

For some reason, Ena suddenly speaks as if she just remembered.

I see, it’s not hard to see why.

Her family’s home, the grocery store, still regularly delivers Lyota watermelon to her family.

“And also–

Where was the crispness from earlier?

Ina laughed with a smirk.

‘I’ve met Ryota-san here and there, so it’s easier to do things with familiar faces.

It’s true.

In Return of the Swallow’s Grace, after Elsa, this Ena is the next closest person to be involved in the story.

Intimacy?If you’re deciding who to send out on loan based on target factors, then certainly Ena is the right person for the job.

She’s already a …… liar.

Yeah?Elsa, what did you just say?

No, it’s nothing.

Really?

Well, I hope it’s nothing.

Well, …… if that’s the case.

I peeked out of the entrance to the sub-branch and called out loud.

“Emily, are you there?

I called out, and I heard a flurry of footsteps in the distance, along with a “Yes sir”.

I made a face and waited for Emily to come over.

‘Hey, what’s a liar?’

A liar is a liar. I know that.

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

‘I don’t like the way you’re playing it. It’s not like I blame you.

…… It’s subtle, still. I’m not even sure it is.

…… Yeah, okay.

Behind me, Elsa and Ena were saying something to each other. The “awareness” of the conversation is complete between them and each other.

I didn’t mind, deciding that they were co-workers and best friends and that it was probably small talk.

After a while, Emily came over and asked her for a room for Ena.

Regardless of whether she lived there or not, it would be nice to have a room to use for a break or something.

Personal space is important.

Yeah. Ena, can you wait a minute?

Yeah?That’s fine, but what?

Hang on.

I made Ena wait and ran out of the sub-branch.

I jumped into the basement of the mansion and duplicated the golden key with drop bullets.

The enhanced version of the item dropped after I made it into a haglemono once, it only drops the same item when I re-haglemono it. They don’t enhance further, nor do they degrade.

Well, it’s just the “outside” of the dungeon and the “inside” of the dungeon, that’s all that separates it.

In this case, the “inside” is the rusty key and the “outside” is the golden key.

I made the golden key into a Hagremono-Ryo-sama, increased it to two with drop bullets and repetition, and duplicated it.

I come back with it and give it to Ina, who looks like a fox has pinched her.

‘Here you go,’

What’s this?

I’ll show you how to use it, just like a duplicate key.

Oh, the duplicate key: ……

Ina looked a little confused and her face turned a little red with feelings.

”It’s not like that’s a possibility.

For some reason, Elsa was a bit dumbfounded by the side.
