Just in case, Leon and the 3 of them stayed in Gauge Fort for a while to ensure the safety of the area.
Thanks to the soldiers who went back ahead to report, there is a grand reception in the castle.
Rtihina in particular, it seems that she heard about the matter of me defeating the demon race, and her face was extremely pleased.
She is probably using it to appeal to her father-sama.
Finally, the subject of making me a knight seem to have been raised too.
But, I decline that as expected.
When I said so, Rithina complain and grumbled.
Please pardon me.
Still, I have no intention to be subordinated to a country to that extent.
The contract to train Leon’s group has ended, and the recapturing of the fort was accomplished too.
I even defeated the demon race outside of the plan.
I should have achieved enough merits.
Working for the sake of getting Mina and Rithina, that persuasion is Rithina’s job.
While staying in the castle for a while, I want you to do it somehow.
Speaking of Rithina’s job, there is the matter of investigating the church too.
There is no problem here, and the ceremony will be held in the church as soon as Leon’s group return.
There, of course, is the arrangement prepared for me to participate too.
It’s approximately another month for Leon’s group to return.
I’m free until then.
For that reason, today I came in the afternoon to do some shopping alone in the Imperial Capital.
My aim is to procure a new weapon.
Loading my magical power, I thought the iron short sword should be able to manage mostly, but I have already fought against the demon race twice after coming to this world too.
And yet, furthermore, it’s not like I’m stirring up trouble with the demon king’s army especially.
Frankly, it’s unexpected.
Well, apart from Laurier, the course of event of inserting the battle with Gaulband, was sort of just me paying for my mistakes due to my weakness to female relations, but……
Anyway, I thought about the future and decided to buy a good weapon within my purchasing scope.
Fortunately, there is the remuneration for guidance of Leon’s group.
No matter how it is, I did not run out of money at the shop selling weapons.
The newly bought double-edged short sword is named Tempest.
It’s made from holy silver.
Holy silver is an item that has received blessing in the church, and its magic efficiency is quite good.
Although it isn’t the highest grade, it’s a high-grade classed weapon.
If it’s this, I would have been able to cut Gaulband’s arm off.
Because of that, however, it’s a considerably priced item.
Now, having obtain new weapons, there is nothing pressing to be done.
If there is nothing to do, there is only one thing to do.
I returned to the residence and verify that Sharon is practicing outside.
When Sharon starts practice-swinging, she doesn’t take a break for an hour.
She’s an Asura.
Isn’t it so?
Well, it’s convenient because she is concentrating so much.
Going into the room, Laurier is sleeping soundly.
I carried the sleeping Laurier as she is.
It’s completely the situation of a kidnapping.
Taking the opportunity, I caress her butt with a good sensation.
But, Laurier doesn’t wake up.
Although she demonstrates the constant ability to perceive it if a wild animal or an unknown person comes or something for example, she doesn’t wake up when I’m the other party somehow.
No, this fellow is pretending to be asleep.
She is probably awake now, but might still be pretending.
Either way, it’s convenient.
Carrying Laurier like this, I go down into the basement.
The key to the basement is entrusted to me from Mina.
Fufufufufu.
The time has come.
The basement is a room about the size of a convenience store.
There, various tools and bed are enshrined there.
Is Mina or somebody cleaning the inside? It’s kept clean.
In that situation, I lowered Laurier on the bed and attached the collar prepared beforehand.
Upon going to that extent, as expected, Laurier wakes up sensing an uneasy atmosphere.
“Fuaa…….a?
………….
You, what are you doing?”
With the matter of her sleeping place being different, she confirms the collar worn around her neck.
