When I returned to where Elena was, Elena and the adventurers were praising each other for the victory.

Elena, this place seemed to have cleared up. Seiji-sama, its the best that youre safe.

When Elena found me, she threw herself into my arms and embraced me.

But, Elenas actions created unexpected state of affairs in the surroundings, though Elena herself didnt notice it.

The adventurers in the surroundings glared at me all at once.

(Who is this guy?) (Someone who nonchalantly turned up after the battle was over?) (Embracing our idol, Elena-chan. He deserves to die 10000 times.)

Such heartfelt voices filled with emotions and dreadful gazes, went through me.

Elena-san. Lets entrust this place to everyone here, we must go the the next place. Thats right, I understand!

Elena, after saying goodbye to the adventurers, disappeared into the towns back street along with me.

Who is that fellow!? Hes flirting with my Elena! Who is yours!?Elena belongs to me!

From the back, I thought I heard quarreling voices. Lets pretend I didnt hear anything, in order for us to escape, we teleport towards Ikebu town.

***

When we have arrived in Ikebu town, the soldiers are tense. There is indeed a horde of goblin on the way to the town but its still alright today. Ones body wont last long if hes too tense.

When I went to the inn where Lela is, the soldiers at the entrance let us through with face pass. On the contrary, their attitude was almost like telling us, I was waiting.

When we entered Lelas room

Ive been embraced by Lela. How did this happen!?

Lela, whats wrong? Though you said youll rush immediately, why didnt you come sooner!?What are you going to do if by any chance, Im attacked!?

It cant be helped, the monsters havent made an attack yet! S-, Such, I dont know!We just probably havent discovered them yet and they are hiding nearby! Dont worry, they arent hiding nearby. T-, Truly!? Yah.

Last time, werent you enthusiastic to become a hero? Did she recall being taken away by High orcs thats why shes nervous again?

You want to become a hero, right? T-, Thats right

Youre the commanding officer of the troops left to defend this town!If youre nervous, the soldiers will be too. Since the goblins will attack tomorrow, let the soldiers take a proper rest. If you dont, they wont last until tomorrow.

Is that true!? Oh, I can grasp which position where the goblins are now at. So, take a rest too. Oh, I understand.

I told the soldiers outside Lelas room the order the take a break.

Well then, since Ill be going out in a bit, you take a rest properly. W-, W-, Where are you going!? Its for weapons supply, because the current weapons are a bit unreliable. At any rate, there arent any weapon in this towns weapon shop anymore, Ive already collected everything for the defense of this town.

Its all right because Ill go to other towns to buy. Other towns!? Didnt you see it yesterday?Since I have teleportation magic, I can go there immediately.

T-, Then, I will also come along. Youre the commanding officer. What kind of commanding officer leaves his troops behind? B-, But

Really, shes so frightened Thats why the troops are tense.

Sorry, Elena. Please wait here for awhile. Okay, I understand.

Elena has Lela sit down and makes tea. Among other things you let a princess make tea, are you a person of importance?

I left Lela to Elena and teleported to Nippo town usingTeleportation.

***

I came over to Gamudo-sans shop.

Helloo. Yo! Seiji. Its unusual that youre alone today. Did you obtain equipment with attribute reinforcement?

Yes, I was able to gather everything.

Oh, I see. What do you need today? Today, I would like to buy a weapon for myself.

N? What happened to the Replica sword you bought previously? There was a guy who was difficult to deal with using Replica sword, I want a better one. What!?What did you fight against.

I should probably tell the truth to Gamudo-san.

Goblin Prince. Prince!!?Are you serious!? Its true.

I see, wait a moment.

Gamudo-san brought a sword from the back of the shop.

This here, is the best weapon I can sell in the shop.

Gamudo-san unsheathed the sword Revealing a sword which shone in silver.

It seemed somewhat great. I tried to useAppraisal

Appraisal Mithril sword Sword made from silver mithril. Sharpness increases when magic power is applied. Rarity:

M-, Mithril? Oh, you recognized it well.

I received the mithril sword from Gamudo-san. Its weight and length fit perfectly in my hand.

You seem to like the sword. That sword is better than the Replica sword. Thats something you wont be able to obtain unless you go to the Dwarf country. Until then, use that Mithril sword.

Thank you. How much? Id like to say I need you to do something but, only priestesses would say that. Its 50, 000 Aurum. I understand.

I forked out 500 pieces of 100 Aurum gold coins and put them on the table

Wai-t, you-!

The table creaked and nearly broke.

Purchasing outright!? Is it bad?

I intend to have you pay little by little and as interest during that time, I will request liquor each time. My plan was ruined. Thats, Im sorry. Dont worry, I will often come. I see, then its good.

Gamudo-san and I shook each others hands and laughed wildly.

***

Upon returning to Lelas place Elena and Lela are having a tea gracefully.

Im back. Welcome back.

Elena is fine but it feels slightly strange being greeted by Lela.

So, what kind of weapon did you buy?

Thanks to Elenas follow up, I seem to completely recover my composure.

Here.

When I remove the sword from the sheath, the two peoples eyes brightened. Especially the brightness of Lelas eyes, its like the eyes of a maiden in love.

Thats, Mithril!? Oh, yes. My rapier is also mithril!!

As Lela said so, she retrieved her rapier and put it on top of my sword.

Oh, Lelas is mithril as well? Y-, yeah. I-, Its the same.

As Lela said so, she pleasantly smiled at me. Did Lela like mithril that much? Perhaps, she has some sort of mithril fetish?

By the way, its now late so, shall we look for an inn?

I put the sword away and tried to depart

W-, Wait. Why dont you stay here? Here?Isnt this place reserved?

Its my room. So, y-, y, you may stay at this room! Isnt there only 1 bed in this room? Y-, Yeah

In the end, we received vacant rooms at both sides of Lelas and decided to stay there.
