Chapter 168: Making Travel Arrangements
A few days later.
We were having our final meeting before setting off on our journey.
The elf village lies to the northwest of the Demon Lord’s territory.
It’s located beyond the marshlands, deep within a great forest.
Since it’s quite a distance away, we need to prepare in advance.
And so—
“I have decided to assign Erte, a civil official, to accompany you two as support.”
That’s what Rukie said in the audience chamber.
Standing before her were Mabel and me, as well as Erte-san, the civil official.
“Thor, didn’t you ask me and Kelve to write a ‘Material Collection Permit’ so that the investigation of the elf village could proceed?”
“Yes.”
“Well then, according to Kelve, the condition for issuing the permit is that Erte accompanies you.”
Rukie explained.
Upon hearing that, Erte-san gave a polite bow and said:
“It’s important that no harm comes to the alchemist-sama or Mabel-sama during the journey. I would like to assist you and act as an escort.”
“That’s helpful, but… are you sure it’s okay?”
“What do you mean?”
“You’re the administrator of the trading post now, right? Aren’t you busy…?”
“The trading post is currently closed for expansion work. While I’m away, my uncle—the Chancellor—will arrange for someone to act in my place. There is no problem.”
“I see.”
“Also, ever since my uncle heard that Thor-sama is heading out on a material-gathering journey, he has been extremely worried. So much so that even the household staff have become concerned.”
“…Huh?”
“The steward of my uncle’s household said, ‘If the Chancellor remains in that state, this house might eventually fall into ruin.’”
“He’s that worried!?”
If the house falls apart, that basically means they won’t be able to keep living normally.
Kelve-san is so worried that he can’t even concentrate on his work…
“Understood. If that’s the case, I’d be glad to have Erte-san accompany us.”
“Same here. I’d feel safer if Erte-sama came with us.”
“Thank you, Thor-sama, Mabel-sama.”
Erte-san pinched the hem of her skirt and bowed.
“Next, about your lodging in the village: you will be staying at the home of the elf magic corps commander.”
Saying this, Rukie took out two letters.
“I’ve received a letter of introduction from the head of the castle’s magic corps, along with a document detailing recent developments in the elf village. With these, you should have no trouble while you’re there.”
“Thank you, Rukie-sama. But you didn’t have to go that far—”
“This much is only natural. You’re going far away… no, you two are envoys dispatched by the Demon Lord, after all.”
“We’re grateful, Your Majesty.”
“Thank you, Demon Lord.”
Mabel and I knelt on the floor and bowed deeply.
She placed a hand over her chest and let out a small sigh of relief.
She must feel more at ease now that we have a place to stay and information about the village.
“Still, you must take every precaution.”
Rukie sat on the throne, staring intently at me.
“I trust things will be fine with Mabel accompanying you, but… don’t eat anything unfamiliar, alright?”
“Yes, Rukie-sama.”
“When you’re deep in your research, you tend to eat whatever’s offered to you. And travel is physically taxing. Don’t overwork yourself just because you feel settled in at your lodging.”
“I understand—”
“Of course, you’ll be bringing a winged fairy with you, yes? They’ll serve as a means of communication and can use magic for protection. Ideally, I’d send soldiers to guard you, but too large a group might alarm the elves. That would interfere with your material investigation. But if you really do want an escort, I can still arrange one. Also, also—”
“Rukie-sama, Rukie-sama.”
“Y-Yes?”
“I appreciate your concern, but we’ll be alright.”
I nodded.
“We won’t do anything to cause concern for the Demon Lord. We’ll pay our respects at the grave, ask the elf elder about the materials, and come straight back. We’ll be fine.”
“I-Is that so?”
“Yes.”
“Still… I’m worried. Do you have any other requests? If there’s anything else you’d like to do before the journey, say it now.”
“Then, may I show you the improved items? I’d like everyone in the Demon Lord’s castle to test them while we’re away.”
“…What?”
Rukie blinked in surprise.
Erte-san looked stunned as well.
Mabel covered her mouth, trying to suppress a laugh.
“Improved items, you say?”
“Yes. While investigating ‘that box,’ I came up with a few ideas. I based the improvements on those insights. The world is constantly changing, so I thought that relying on outdated items might cause problems.”
“But your items have never caused any problems—”
Rukie looked up into the air, pondering for a moment, then said:
“…At the very least, none have caused human casualties.”
“Exactly. But if something happens while we’re away and someone’s using the old versions, I won’t be able to fix them. So I thought we should show you the improved ones now.”
“…V-Very well.”
“In short, I just want to leave behind items that will protect everyone in my place.”
We handed over “that box” to Prince Ricardo, but that wasn’t the end of it.
Daryl Zanno is still at large. And there’s the issue of the “Hard Creatures.”
We don’t even know how the Empire will respond.
Rukie had finally gathered the courage to take off her mask, and I didn’t want anyone to get in the way.
I needed to take precautions.
That’s why I wanted to leave behind some useful items while I was away on my journey.
“I understand how you feel.”
Rukie said that with a wry smile.
“And I’m grateful. That you’re thinking so much about us.”
“…I’m honestly touched as well.”
By the way, Erte-san was wiping away tears.
“Since Thor has thought this through so thoroughly, we should carefully examine the items.”
Rukie, still seated on the throne, made the declaration with the dignity of a Demon Lord.
“Then, Thor Canaan the Alchemist. Show us the improved items you have created!”
“Understood.”
I knelt down on the floor and offered the formal salute of a vassal.
“The first item I will present is the improved version of the ‘security buzzer.’”
I first pulled out the familiar disc-shaped item.
There were two of them. One black, one white.
Handing them to Rukie, I said:
“Considering the recent state of affairs between the Demon Lord’s territory and the Empire, I’ve added some new modifications to the ‘security buzzer.’”
“…Oh?”
“A security buzzer? That’s an unexpected choice.”
Rukie and Erte-san each took one of the buzzers—Rukie the black one, Erte-san the white.
Then, with a puzzled expression, Rukie asked:
“The colors are different—does that have any meaning?”
“The black one is for use in the Demon Lord’s territory. The white one is for within the Empire.”
“What’s the difference? Is it the strength of the effect?”
“Yes. The effects are slightly different.”
“Specifically?”
“The black one emits a voice that says, ‘Omawarisaaan’ (Officer~).”
“And the white one?”
“It says, ‘Omawarisaaan. Not Isaac, not the Omawarisan Unit, not Lady Omawarisan, just Omawarisaaan.’”
““…………Excuse me?””
Rukie and Erte-san both stared blankly, mouths agape.
So I decided to explain.
Isaac, who serves Princess Sophia, had changed his name to “Isaac Omawarisan Muira” after our battle with the giant centipede.
So if the buzzer just shouted “Omawarisaaan,” Isaac would come running.
To avoid that, I made it say “Not Isaac, Omawarisaaan.”
But then, in the town of Nosa, a group called the “Omawarisan Unit” was formed.
So that message couldn’t be used either.
As a workaround, I changed the buzzer to say “Not the Omawarisan Unit.”
But then Dorothy-san came from the Archduke’s domain and formed the “Lady Omawarisan Unit.”
So I had to address that too.
What’s more, the kids in Nosa love the “Omawarisan Unit.”
If the buzzer just shouted “Omawarisaaan,” there was a real chance the kids would come running, shouting “Yay! It’s the Omawarisan Unit!”
That would be dangerous.
After all, security buzzers are meant to be used when magical beasts appear.
If a human child got hurt because of a Demon Lord territory item, it would be a big problem.
“That’s why the buzzer now clearly states: ‘This is a call for the heroes’ world’s Omawarisan. It has absolutely no connection to any real individuals or groups—namely, Unit Leader Isaac, the Omawari-san Unit, or Dorothy-san’s Lady Omawari-san Unit.’”
With that, I finished my explanation.
“…I see. I understand now.”
“…Thor-sama, you’ve thought this through that deeply…”
“…Did the humans actually change their names because of a security buzzer? A terrifying opponent indeed…”
Rukie, Mabel, and Erte-san all nodded.
Then Rukie picked up the security buzzer and said:
“I understand your thinking. We shall use the black one for the Demon Lord’s territory and the white one for the Empire.”
“Thank you very much, Rukie-sama.”
“Erte, do you have any comments?”
“None in particular. I’m simply amazed that the alchemist-sama knows Nosa so well and has crafted items suited to that region.”
Erte-san bowed toward Rukie.
“Also, I’m satisfied with the item’s functionality. I actually expected something more surprising.”
“Well, sometimes Thor makes normal items too.”
“That’s true. Since these are improved versions of existing items…”
“There’s nothing here that will blow your mind.”
Rukie said that, then looked at me.
“So then, Thor. What’s the next item?”
“It’s the ‘Magical Beast Gargarossa Role-Play Pajamas.’”
“…Excuse me?”
Rukie froze on the throne.
“Role-play pajamas? Of a magical beast? W-W-What?”
“This is it. Please take a look.”
From my “Ultra-Compact Storage,” I took out a large pair of pajamas.
There were two sets.
The sleeves were long and baggy, and split into two halfway down.
The color was gray. The design was inspired by a giant spider.
Though I kept it a little cute—too realistic and it’d be scary.
This was the new “Magical Beast Gargarossa Role-Play Pajamas.”
────────────────
“Beast Gargarossa Roleplay Pajamas” (Attribute/Rarity)
A new type of “roleplay pajamas.”
When worn, the wearer takes on the appearance of the “Hard Creature” known as the “Beast Gargarossa.”
A two-piece set for two people.
It activates when both individuals wear the pajamas.
The size is rather small, about the size of a little spider minion under the beast.
Once activated, the wearers appear as the giant spider “Beast Gargarossa.”
The wearers’ legs become invisible thanks to the “perception inhibition” effect.
The arms transform into the beast’s legs, so each wearer operates two of the beast’s legs with one arm.
By moving their arms in sync, they can make it appear as though the giant spider is walking.
(But in reality, the wearers stand and move using their own legs.)
To help the two synchronize, the pajamas transform slightly when activated.
Though they look strong and hard, in reality they’re just pajamas—soft and fluffy.
They’re extremely comfortable to wear.
With their gentle design, some people might even find them “cute.”
────────────────
“What do you think, Rukie-sama? Erte-san?”
“………………”
“The material includes parts of a real ‘Beast Gargarossa’ synthesized in. However… I wasn’t able to implement the thread-shooting function. I really feel my lack of skill.”
“………………”
“But I was particular about the form. No matter what anyone says, this is ‘Beast Gargarossa.’ Still, if it looks too realistic, there might be people who attack on sight, so I made the eyes bigger and the overall design softer. What do you think?”
“…Thor.”
“Yes, Rukie-sama.”
“Why did you think of making ‘Beast Gargarossa’ roleplay pajamas?”
“Because the giant centipede and giant scorpion types were too difficult.”
To properly roleplay as a giant centipede, you need a team.
You’d need at least ten people to make it look right.
But making that many pajamas would be a huge effort.
The giant scorpion has another issue.
That beast has a huge tail with a stinger.
To attack enemies, someone would need to be the tail. But then, the tail person might feel dissatisfied.
They’d be thinking, “Why am I just swinging a tail around in pajamas…?”
So I put off making the giant scorpion pajamas.
—That’s what I explained to Rukie and the others.
“That’s not what we meant, you know?”
“That’s not the issue, Alchemist-sama.”
“I understand now.”
Rukie and Erte-san’s voices sounded displeased.
By the way, Mabel seemed to accept my explanation. As expected.
“That’s not what we meant. We’re asking why you made such pajamas in the first place.”
“Of course, to protect the Demon Lord’s domain.”
“To protect the Demon Lord’s domain?”
“Until now, no creature like the ‘Beast Gargarossa’ existed. Anyone who didn’t take part in the subjugation battle wouldn’t have seen it. So, I thought it would be best for people to actually see what they’re like, to understand them.”
“So these pajamas are to teach people about the threat of such monsters?”
“Yes. And I also hoped they could be used to research how to fight ‘Hard Creatures.’”
No one knows when the next ‘Hard Creature’ will appear.
We need to figure out effective battle strategies beforehand.
These “Beast Gargarossa Roleplay Pajamas” should help with that.
“…I see. That’s surprisingly logical.”
“…Yes, Your Majesty.”
After some thought, Rukie and Erte-san eventually nodded.
Then Rukie said:
“Very well. We’ll show these ‘Beast Gargarossa Roleplay Pajamas’ to Kelve and Reisenga and decide how to proceed from there.”
“Thank you, Rukie-sama.”
“Erte, go to Kelve. Tell him that Thor has agreed to accompany you… and while you’re at it, bring the white and black ‘security buzzers’ and explain them. Once that’s done, collect the ‘Material Collection Permit.’”
“Understood. But regarding the ‘Beast Gargarossa Roleplay Pajamas’…?”
“As for that, I want to investigate it a bit more.”
“Understood. I shall go now.”
With that, Erte-san left the throne room.
Once her footsteps could no longer be heard, Rukie said:
“Well then, let’s begin trying on the ‘Beast Gargarossa Roleplay Pajamas.’”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Eh? Um, I don’t think there’s any need to rush…”
I had intended for them to be used after I left on my journey.
I didn’t think we needed to test them right here and now…
“What are you saying, Thor? We never know when a ‘Hard Creature’ might appear!”
“We must test the power of this two-person pajama set now!”
Rukie and Mabel insisted fervently.
And they were completely right.
“Mabel and I will test them. Thor, prepare a mirror. We want to see how we look after the transformation.”
“Rukie-sama is going to wear them?”
“If it’s your item, Thor, then naturally Mabel and I should be the ones to try it, right?”
Rukie said that nonchalantly after removing her mask.
Mabel nodded as well.
…Come to think of it, yesterday Rukie did say she’d “already talked to Mabel.”
I wonder what kind of conversation they had…
“Understood. Then I’ll wait outside.”
“Very well. Mabel.”
“Yes. Let’s get changed.”
I stepped out of the throne room.
After a short while, I heard a knock from the inside of the door. That was the signal.
When I returned to the throne room—
“So this is the ‘Beast Gargarossa Roleplay Pajamas’…”
“H-how do we look, Thor-sama?”
Rukie and Mabel looked at each other in astonishment.
I understood how they felt.
These pajamas had quite a strange design.
The hood had red patterns resembling eyes.
The sleeves were baggy and split into two near the ends.
Thanks to the perception inhibition effect, the legs disappeared, ending just above the knees.
A white ribbon was attached to the torso—this would become fangs when transformed.
The back was made of thin, breathable fabric.
This was the “Beast Gargarossa Roleplay Pajamas.”
“Not bad. No different from the previous ‘Role-Play Pajamas.’”
“It’s just as easy to move in. From your perspective, Thor-sama… what do you think?”
“Huh? Rukie-sama and Mabel look cute no matter what they wear, though?”
The “Gargarossa Role-Play Pajamas” have a strange shape, but strangely enough, they draw out the charm of Rukie and Mabel.
The eyes drawn on the hood look like accessories decorating Rukie’s blonde hair and Mabel’s silver hair.
The sleeves are oversized, with only their fingertips peeking out. Childlike and adorable.
The pants only go down to above the knees, which is also nice. It feels like a bit too much leg is showing, but… well, there are only three of us here. So it’s fine, right?
“I never imagined the ‘Gargarossa Role-Play Pajamas’ would bring out your charm like this. Amazing—both of you.”
“…U-uuu…”
“S-So Thor-sama, how do we activate these pajamas?”
Rukie turned bright red, and Mabel raised her voice, trying to cover for her.
I nodded and said:
“When Rukie-sama and Mabel combine, the pajamas activate.”
““Combine?””
“The two wearers just have to stand back-to-back and pull down the hood. Then, you’ll transform into the ‘Magical Beast Gargarossa.’”
“Hmm. Let us give it a try.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
““One, two—!””
Pita.
Rukie and Mabel stood back-to-back and pulled down the hood.
Then—the pajamas began to transform.
Their legs became invisible through “perception blocking.”
Their bodies swelled to form the head and torso of the magical beast.
The ribbon shifted position to become the beast’s fangs.
The “Magical Beast Gargarossa” (a rather small version) appeared in the throne room.
“Perfect. You’ve both fully become ‘Magical Beast Gargarossa.’”
I held out the hand mirror I had prepared in front of them.
The bright red eyes of “Magical Beast Gargarossa” peeked into the mirror. Then—
“Hmm. It looks exactly like that magical beast.”
“But it’s not really that scary.”
Voices came from inside the beast—Rukie and Mabel.
“That’s true. Overall, it’s round, with big eyes. The legs look kind of soft too.”
“It doesn’t feel aggressive at all.”
“I made some modifications to make it a bit cute.”
I explained.
“This is for training purposes, after all. If it looked too intimidating, the soldiers might forget there are people inside and attack for real. That’s why I made it look a bit cute, so it’s clearly different from the real thing.”
““…I see.””
“But I think it’ll look scary enough once it starts moving. Can you try that for me?”
“Very well. Let’s match our timing, Mabel.”
“Y-Yes. Like this?”
Rustle, rustle. Rustle, rustle.
Wiggle, wiggle. Twist, twist.
The legs of the “Magical Beast Gargarossa (Fake)” began to move.
“Oho. The spider legs are moving.”
“True. Watching it move… it is a bit scary.”
Perhaps seeing their reflected image in the mirror, Rukie and Mabel spoke in convinced tones.
Apparently pleased with their beastly appearance, Rukie said:
“What do you say, Mabel? Shall we try chasing Thor for fun?”
“Eh? Um… Is that all right, Thor-sama?”
“Of course.”
“Then let’s synchronize again, Mabel.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
““One, two!””
Rustle rustle rustle rustle!
Pitter patter pitter patter!
The “Magical Beast Gargarossa (Prototype)” that Rukie and Mabel were role-playing as began to move.
They came after me at a pace equal to a brisk walk.
“Yeah. It looks more intense when it moves.”
I ran around the throne room while capturing their image in the hand mirror.
The way Rukie and Mabel chased me looked just like the magical beast itself.
While stationary, they looked like a plush toy—but once they started moving, there was real presence to them.
“U-Umm… Looking at the reflection in the mirror, we really do look like a real magical beast.”
“You’re right. Also, Your Majesty and I are perfectly in sync with our leg movements.”
“I felt the same.”
“Yes. It’s mysterious…”
“Just by wearing the same pajamas, I can clearly feel Mabel’s movements.”
“Is this also the power of Thor-sama’s magical item…?”
The cute “Magical Beast Gargarossa” stopped and looked my way.
As expected of Mabel—sharp as always.
“As Mabel says, these pajamas have a mechanism that lets you sense your partner’s movements.”
“What!?”
“So it is a magical feature?”
“No, no. It’s much simpler. Once you combine, the back part of the pajamas disappears.”
““Ah! I see!!””
Both of them raised their voices.
Seems like they understood what I meant.
These “Magical Beast Gargarossa Role-Play Pajamas” activate when two people stand back-to-back and lower their hoods.
Right afterward, the fabric covering the back disappears, exposing both of their backs.
In other words, while wearing these pajamas, the two people end up touching skin directly.
“For Thor, that’s a surprisingly straightforward trick.”
“That makes sense now.”
Rukie and Mabel, in their “Magical Beast Gargarossa (Fake)” form, nodded in understanding.
“The cloth covering our backs is gone, so now Mabel and I are touching skin-to-skin, aren’t we?”
“Because both Her Majesty and I are only wearing our underwear.”
“No wonder I can clearly feel your movements.”
“Our body reactions are transmitted directly. I can even feel Your Majesty’s body heat.”
“Ah, Mabel. You just nodded, didn’t you?”
“Can you tell, Your Majesty?”
“Somehow, yes. Since Mabel and I are practically pressing our bare backs together, it feels like our skins are touching and we’re sharing body heat—”
“Huh?”
“Oh…?”
The pajama-type “Beast Gargarossa” froze up.
And then—
““…Thor (-sama). We need to have a little talk (with you).””
The “Beast Gargarossa” raised both its legs in what looked like a threatening gesture.
“…Well, fine. I forgive you.”
Returning to her Demon Lord form, Rukie spoke.
I was kneeling in seiza position in front of the throne.
“T-this was a valuable experience. And now we know that those pajamas can be used for combat training against Hard Creatures. Also, they can serve as practice for synchronizing movements between soldiers.”
“Y-yes, Your Majesty.”
Mabel’s face beside me was beet red.
“But Thor-sama. Why didn’t you explain this before we put them on?”
“Indeed. If it causes the wearers to press their skin together, a warning would have been appropriate.”
“…That’s because,”
“…Because?”
“I thought, ‘This is a great idea! A brilliant concept! Let’s do it!’ And then I just made it as-is.”
I thought the two-person “Imitation Pajamas” were a groundbreaking idea.
So I thought about how to synchronize two people’s movements.
As a result, I came up with: “If their skin touches, they’ll naturally feel each other’s movement!” and just built it.
The possible issues… had completely slipped my mind.
“…Well, since it was with Mabel, I suppose it’s fine.”
“Is it really okay, Your Majesty?”
“We already talked it through, didn’t we?”
“That’s true. We did have that talk.”
Rukie and Mabel exchanged glances and nodded.
When I asked what they talked about—
“It’s a secret.”
“It’s a secret, Thor-sama.”
Both of them put a finger to their lips and smiled.
What the heck.
I started to feel like I could never win against Rukie and Mabel.
“By the way, Thor. Is there only one set of these pajamas?”
“No, I made a spare set just in case. Why do you ask?”
“I thought perhaps this one should be for our exclusive use. We’ll need to test the spare one now, won’t we?”
As Rukie said that… footsteps sounded.
Erte-san had returned—or so I thought—but then there was a knock.
After putting her mask back on, Rukie granted entry.
Erte-san, Chancellor Kelve, General Reisenga, and Agnis entered.
Apparently, Kelve brought documents, while Reisenga and Agnis came to see me off.
Rukie, Mabel, and I exchanged glances and nodded.
That was the end of our private time.
Now, it was time for official business.
“Thank you for granting Erte permission to accompany them.”
Chancellor Kelve looked deeply relieved as he spoke.
“Here is the Material Collection Permit you requested. Please be careful. If anything happens, consult Erte. And also—”
Kelve emphasized repeatedly to be careful.
He truly is a good person.
“If you run into trouble during the journey, feel free to invoke my name.”
Next, General Reisenga came up to me.
“I’ve already informed my acquaintances about you, Thor-dono. If you say you’re a friend of General Reisenga the Flame, they’ll help you.”
“Thank you very much, General.”
“I hope you’ll return quickly. It’s boring without you, Thor-dono.”
General Reisenga patted my shoulder and wished me a safe journey.
Agnis did the same for Mabel, encouraging her and wishing her a successful trip.
Mabel looked bashful.
Then I told Kelve and the others about the New Anti-Crime Buzzer and the Beast Gargarossa Imitation Pajamas.
Kelve looked stunned and said, “Please let us test it immediately!”
Ah, I see.
Rukie must have expected this when she asked about the second set.
As expected of Her Majesty the Demon Lord.
She couldn’t let others wear the pajamas she and Mabel had just worn.
She intended to use me again for the next experiment.
So, I took out the Beast Gargarossa Imitation Pajamas No. 2 from my Ultra-Compact Portable Warehouse.
And who ended up wearing No. 2 with Kelve?
“Of course, it must be me!”
—In the end, General Reisenga volunteered.
Thus, Kelve and Reisenga did their best to impersonate Beast Gargarossa, but—
“W-why are you going in the opposite direction, Reisenga-dono?!”
“And you, Kelve-dono—what’s with that foot movement? Can’t you move more energetically?”
“It’s not just about flailing! You need to emphasize eeriness and terror—”
“That’s not where we’re supposed to go! Agh, I can’t do this with Kelve-dono!”
“I should say that! Your back is all bony and it hurts!”
“That’s it! I’m done. I can’t do this with Kelve-dono anymore.”
“That’s my line—”
“Daddy! That pajama looks cute on you!”
“All right! Let’s keep going, Kelve-dono!”
“General? Weren’t you about to take it off…?”
“What are you saying?! Her Majesty is watching! Put more spirit into it!”
“Eh.”
“This isn’t just for fun! This item is meant to show the soldiers and civilians the threat of Hard Creatures! As the leaders of the military and civil government, we must take this seriously!”
“U-uh, Reisenga-dono?”
“Very well! From now on, we are magical beasts. Let us roar! GaaaaooooooGargaroooooo—!!”
“…gaaaooo…”
And so, the experiment of Beast Gargarossa Imitation Pajamas worn by Chancellor Kelve and General Reisenga continued—
After that, Mabel, Rukie, and I moved to my workshop—
At the tea table, we once again tested the Beast Gargarossa Imitation Pajamas No. 1—
The visiting winged fairies joined us, and we discussed our travel plans—
Then, a few days later.
“Well then, we’re off, Your Majesty the Demon Lord.”
“We’ll be back soon, everyone.”
“Please leave these two in my care.”
And so, Mabel, Erte-san, and I set off, aiming for the elf village.
