The aristocracy unions meeting was adjourned and each person left in succession. Elena and I were talking secretly.

Seiji-sama, what are we going to do from now on? For the time being, since its necessary to the be cautious for Suga and Ikebu town, lets stay at the Suga town today. Thats right, we better do so.

While we were talking such a thing, Rondo approached.

Elena-sama, and Seiji as well, there will be a little dinner party, would you like to come? Am I a bonus?

Im sorry. Because theres a place that I must go, I cant attend.

Ignoring the astonished Rondo, Elena took my hand and left the conference hall briskly.

Elena, isnt it fine to attend the dinner party? Seiji-sama, we need to go to Suga now, isnt that right? Ah.

Elena looked at me with a worried expression.

Elena, are you so worried about Suga and Ikebu town? Yes

Alright, well then, lets go immediately. Yes!

Elena embraced me joyfully.

E-, Elena-sama!What are you doing!?

Crap! it was seen by Rondo. But, whatever.

Sorry, Rondo.

Leaving those words, weTeleported.

E-, Elena-sama!Seiji!d-, disappeared!?

Rondo remained standing there for a while.

***

Eh?Seiji-sama, isnt this Ikebu town? Aa. First, I think we should warn Lela that this town is being targeted. Thats right. We better do so.

For the time being, the number of monsters on the map didnt increase that much. It seemed okay for a while.

I checked Lelas location via the beacon. She seemed to be staying at a luxurious inn.

That fellow, staying in a place such as this.

This inn is reserved. Find another one.

When we tried to enter the inn, the soldiers who guards the entrance stopped us.

Then, I ask you to send Lela a message. Tell her that Elena and Seiji have come. Y-, You are!

Somehow or another, they recognized us in the end.

Arent you Elena-sama!?

The one they recognized was Elena!

Immediately, convey a message!

The soldiers conveyed the message in a hurry and we were able to meet Lela.

Elena-sama, Seiji. Where have you been? You disappeared in the middle of the victory party yesterday.

Lela is inside a suite-like room, having a tea gracefully. What a carefree fellow. Moreover, unusually, Lela is not wearing an armor. I have seen her figure without armor before but since Aya had destroyed the armor, she ended up naked.

What a very carefree fellow. What did you say!?

According to our newly acquired intelligence, the troops led by the Goblin Prince seems to be targeting this place. You better be careful. G-, Goblin Prince!?

Hearing the name, Lelas face suddenly went pale.

W-, What to do. E-, Escape quickly. Escape?What about the townspeople? The townspeople doesnt matter, Im from a noble house! You!~ Though you celebrated victory together with them yesterday, youre just going to abandon them easily? B-, B-, Butthe opponent, is a Goblin Prince!

Ill come to help when it become dangerous. Just hold on until then. Come to help?Didnt you come to guard me all the time? Im Elenas guard. Elena and I will defend Suga town. While you defend Ikebu town during that time.

Suga!?You! Which is important, Suga town or me!? Its Suga town. T-, thats

Lela started to tremble.

You dont have to worry too much, Ill immediately come to help. But, but, from Suga to here, it takes 2 days in a hurry! Alright. I have a magic that can enable me to come immediately. Magic!Is there such a thing?Is it true?

Somehow, Lela was completely scared. What to do?

Listen, Lela. If you defend this Ikebu town in the time of this crisis, youre a hero. Hero!? But, if you run awayyou are, a coward. You will be reviled as a coward. Your family as well, will despise and look at you with contempt. I-, I understand

Lelas expression suddenly stiffened and she firmly nodded.

If there is anything, tell me with this.

I handed acounterpartof the twin-magic-stone-style string phone I made before to Lena.

What is this? Its a magic tool I made that can enable us to talk even from far away. Thats amazing!

I handed the other counterpartto Elena and let her teach the method of using it. The two people seemed to enjoy themselves. Only a little while back, she was almost crying

Then Lela, Ill rely on you later. Oh, I understand. Oh, yeah. Be sure to not prioritize the searching for the enemy. I see, thats right.

We said goodbye and deliberately usedTeleportationin front of Lela. We teleported to Suga town.

***

When we teleported to Suga town In the distant forest, I was able to confirm that there are many monstersthere with the map.

Quite a huge number. Moreover, not only goblins and orcs, there are also, hobgoblins and high orcs mixed in.

Because there is some distance, it will be tomorrow if they attack Suga town.

If I have something to worry about

Lela-san, do you hear me? Elena-sama. Yes, I hear you.

Elena and Lela are still playing with the string phone. I havent confirmed yet if it can be used properly in the distance but there seems to be no problem for the time being.

We looked for an inn close to the north side of the town, which seemed to be the area where the goblins will attack.

I didnt particularly choose the inn on purpose. Because when we looked for an inn in the north side of the town, there was nothing but only one there!

For some reason, the entire building of the inn we found was pink in color

S-, Seiji-sama, are we going to stay here? We can notice immediately when the monsters attack if here. T-, Thats right. Its for the sake of the town.

Elena and I nervously entered the inn.

Welcome!

The receptionist has a small window in a strange position so that the guests werent identifiable. It turned out to be a way to exchange money and keys from there.

Oneone night please. Only the best room is available, would that be fine? Ah, please. Well then, its 300 Aurum a night.

E-, Expensive.

I paid 300 Aurum reluctantly, I received the key and went to the room.

When we arrived at the room, the room was pink. It was painful to look at. Elena and I will stay o-, overnight in such a place?

Seiji-sama, theres a bathroom.

When I look at where Elena is pointing, there is a bathroom. Huh?Something is strange.

So, even from inside the room, you can immediately find the bathroom. Because the bathtub is visible from inside the room. Why is it visible?Because theres a glass between the room and the bathroom.

The glass is probably a high-class item here. Using it like this is a waste

S-, Seiji-sama, this bathroom. To be in sight You can go in first, Elena. B-, but Look, theres a curtain. Just close this. Oh, youre right.

Elena went into the bathroom cheerfully.

But, how it became like this? This curtain, is thin andslightly see-through No, its nothing.

When Im appreciating the curtain with all my might, Elena came out dressed in a bathrobe while the smell of soap permeated in the air. I immediately looked away.

Seiji-sama, you can go ahead. O-, Oh.

When I entered the bathroom, probably the effect of light but, I noticed that one cant see the outside from the inside. I see, in this way I washed my whole body cleanly just in case.

Upon exiting the bathroom, Elenas face was deep red.

Seiji-sama, this curtain, its thin

It seems Elena also appreciates the curtain somehow or another. And, Elena fidgets.

N? Elena holds something in her hand while fidgeting.

Elena, what is that youre holding in your hand? Oh, this? It was inside the room, it seems to be a magic tool or something. What kind of magic tool is this? Its probably, used to ease stiff shoulders?

So its a magic tool to ease stiff shoulders.

Elena brought the magic tool to her shoulders and channeled magic power. The magic tool started to vibrate.

Seiji-sama, it feels good. I-, It feels good? Yes, it feels good.

I engraved Elenas words deeply into my heart.
