Chapter 58 Seteas-San, Once Again
While Risleyria-san and I were discussing plans for tomorrow's treatment, it seems that Etoelise-san informed Seteas-san about us.
Rosalier-san and I are being seen off by Julienne-san and Etoelise-san. By this time, the branch of the guild should be closed. As night falls, it gets quite cold. It wasn't this cold that day, but it was this dark.
Even now, 'Pulse (Pulsating Assistive Spell)' and 'Resurrect (Resurrection Spell)' continue to circulate. I wonder how many days it has been? I haven't stopped it with 'Dispel' yet.
So, no one in this country should be able to kill me. Besides, Rosalier-san is here too. I don't think anyone in this country can defeat her.
Of course, even if Rosalier-san, who is trying to protect me, ends up in danger, I will definitely help. I won't let my guard down, but I choose to believe in my magic.
"Now, is it different from back then?"
"What happened?"
"No, it's just that situations change."
As I looked at the lake, I realized that I had prepared myself emotionally for whatever might happen, and it surprised me a little.
But I can't understand why people who live normal lives are constantly in much more danger than someone like me. I got involved in something in this country, and Rosalier-san got involved too. Asaya-kun, Mahiru-chan, and Maya-chan also got involved. It's not something I should be thinking about, but at the very least, I can resist, so I guess I have to take action.
While I was thinking about such messy things, we arrived at Seteas-san's inn without much trouble. It seems like he's waiting at the reception. He's looking over here, with a happy expression on his face.
"Welcome back, Soutome-sama. Was it enjoyable earlier?"
"Don't you think it's forced?"
"Hahaha"
Both Seteas-san and I burst out laughing at the same time.
"Excuse me. By the way, is the beautiful lady from the Black Forest Human tribe that you're with, by any chance..."
Oh? Can Seteas-san really tell that Rosalier-san is from the Black Forest Human tribe right away?
"Well, yea--"
"Is she your wife?"
"Huh?"
Oh, I see. Isn't that going too far with the teasing?
"Does it seem that way to Seteas-sama?"
"Oh, no, well... I made a thoughtless comment, I apologize."
"No, I don't mind being seen that way either, as a matter of fact."
'Soutome-sama, c-can you help me? Is it okay for you two to be seen together outside? Is she a butler? Or perhaps, a secretary?'
Seteas-san quietly seeks help. I guess he thought he failed. It seems that being too friendly can lead to mistakes.
"It's okay. She's a very kind woman, so I don't think she'll get angry or... anything like that."
When I look at Rosalier-san, I can tell she's smiling wryly.
"She might be angry, you know..."
"It's okay, it's okay. Seteas-san is Risleyria-san's nephew, who is a reliable person, so at worst, she can complain to her——"
"Wh-where did you hear that?"
"Hm? From Risleyria-san herself."
"Oh, is that so..."
Rosalier-san laughs softly, probably because she finds it amusing to see Seteas-san lying face down at the reception counter. Good for you, Seteas-san.
"So, where should we stay?"
"Well, what do you think?"
"What?"
"Do you want one room? And——"
"Please give us two rooms. ...'We strictly prohibit any indecent behavior, so please be careful,' right?"
"That's right."
"And then?"
"Yes. The rooms you stayed in before are available. We have also prepared the room next to it."
"Prepared?"
"Yes. There was a letter from Auntie send by Etoelise, so it's all arranged there."
"I see."
"Well then, this is the key. I will bill my aunt for the payment."
"Hahaha. Some things never change, huh?"
"Yes, please take your time and have a good rest."
When I received the key from Seteas-san, I looked at Rosalier-san and pointed to the stairs. It seemed like she understood what I meant with just a nod.
"Soutome-sama."
"Hmm?"
"'Any indecent behavior'"
"Yes, yes, I know."
"It's just a joke."
"Should I go to complain to Etoelise-san?"
"Please spare me that. My sister is quite tough. 'And Auntie too...'"
Seteas-san's last words. It seems like not only Etoelise-san, but Risleyria-san will also scold him.
"Well then, see you later"
"Yes. Take your time."
As I climbed the stairs and stood in front of the room where I always returned, I felt a nostalgic feeling. I matched the key with the room number and opened the door. A familiar room that was thoroughly cleaned came into view.
"Rosalier-san, here's the key to the room"
"Thank you. By the way, may I―― I mean, Tatsuma-sama"
She almost said "Goshujin-sama" but corrected herself. I guess it's because she said she should only use that term in the mansion and the Black Forest Human Tribe's quarters.
"What's wrong?"
"Um, what should we do about dinner?"
"...Oh, I completely forgot."
"I think it's good that you're devoted to your work. But honestly, Tatsuma-sama is useless without me..."
"I'm sorry, it's just..."
As we looked into each other's eyes, laughter welled up, and I almost forgot that we were outside.
"S-so, anyway, Rosalier-san, you didn't take a bath yesterday, right?"
"Y-yes, that's right."
"There's a bath in your room, so after you take one, let's eat at the dining hall downstairs. It may be a bit bland, but it's delicious in its own way."
"Let's do that."
I took out a large leather bag from my inventory, which contained Rosalier-san's change of clothes and roomwear, and handed it to her. Of course, there are towels and the soap she likes, too.
"Alright, I'll come by later."
"Sure, see you later."
Hello everyone,
We have several works to share with you. Below are the details:
- A work set in a fantasy game world, similar to but not an isekai, where the MC, along with his childhood friend, becomes an adventurer. However, when his childhood friend discovers that he only has a level cap of 1 and the weakest magic, she betrays him and joins another party. What happens next? Read on here.
- An isekai work about the MC returning by death before being transported to another world along with his classmates. There's betrayal and conflict among them. Discover more here.
- Another fantasy project about an MC who is a magician with only enchanting spells. He is a member of a guild, reputed to be one of the strongest on the continent. However, due to the guild master and his fellow members not needing him as he is just an enchanter, he is exiled. Discover more about it here.
- Another project revolves around the MC whose heroines aspire to become his mother instead of his lover. Read this unusual story here.
- Our latest work also into the genre of Second Life. It's about the story of a former s*x worker who wants to avoid loneliness and find fulfillment in his second life. Experience his conflicts and resolutions as the protagonist progresses. Read it on here.
- Additionally, we have a worth-to-read project about someone who has returned from an isekai. The main character is a hero who has defeated the Demon Lord. However, for some reason, the human-demon war has resumed and will take place in the MC's original world. The MC, unaware of this, meets a Saint from that world and she asks him to join the war. But what does the MC say? He refuses. Is it because his pas love was rejected by the princess when they adventured together in the past, or is he simply fed up? Discover the answers by clicking here.
We hope you enjoy reading these works!
