Chapter 78 Last Day Of Daioraden'S Business Trip
As I explained to Privia-san, I've been working hard for six days straight and will have one day off. So, after pushing through until evening, I'll be heading back to Watterhill.
Because of this, I've already packed up my belongings and Rosalier-san's belongings and stored them in the inventory. I don't think I forgot anything. Well, even if I did, Seteas-san would probably take care of it for me. Yeah, I'll be fine.
After finishing breakfast, I had a brief meeting with Rosalier-san. During that time, she mentioned that she needed a simple map of this country and the area around the royal castle. So I quickly whipped one up.
In the other world, I used to work as an IT engineer, so drawing a simple map like this isn't too difficult for me. But since I had to do it by hand instead of using a computer, I wasn't satisfied with the result.
Rosalier-san had a rough sketch and a pen in hand, doing some research. Once she finished, she mentioned that she was going to Centrena's place first.
At the reception, Seteas-san was already there. Milenoa-san came from the back.
"So, you're leaving tonight?"
"Yes. But I'll be back."
"Please give my regards to Rosalier-san. Tell her I'll do my best with cooking."
"Sure. It was delicious."
"Thank you."
"Well then, I'm off."
"Take care."
"Goodbye."
With Seteas-san and Milenoa-san seeing me off, I left the inn. I headed straight to the guild as usual. Before starting the treatments, I went to the manager's office.
"Good morning."
"Ah, good morning. Come in, it's fine."
Risleyria-san, it's a bit crowded. Well, it can't be helped since it's sudden.
"In the evening, after my treatment, I will be heading back to Watterhill's with our Rosalier-san."
"Really? No, is that so?"
"It's okay. Don't try to force yourself to heal it. I'll be in trouble too, so I told her to take it easy."
"Is that so? I heard that not only Etoelise-san but also Seteas-san and Milenoa-san are being taken care of."
"Yeah, Milenoa-san seems to be Rosalier-san's friend."
"Oh, I see. Seteas-san is just that kind of kid, right? Milenoa-san is also a good girl. That's why Seteas-san is a little inconsiderate."
Are you really criticizing Seteas-san? It's a bit terrible.
"Seteas-san is one of my few male friends, so I don't need to say that much."
So, smiling wryly, she said, "I'm sorry." Well, it seems like you're being appreciated, Seteas-san. That's great, isn't it?
"Taking a day off and then working for six days won't change anything, so I'll be back in seven days. At this rate, I think everyone in the town will be done with their treatment in about ten more days. Well, Julienne-san and Etoelise-san might break down faster."
"Hahaha. I'll make sure that doesn't happen by training."
"Okay. I'm counting on you. I think I'll head home without stopping by here in the evening. Well then, see you in seven days."
"Yeah, I'll be waiting."
As I tried to open the door, I heard the sound of someone running away.
"That kid can't be helped, huh?"
"Hahaha."
Maybe it was Etoelise-san?
As I passed through the corridor and crossed paths behind the reception, Julienne-san looked over and waved at me. It was her, huh? She heard it, didn't she? Does she think it'll be tough in the coming weeks? (I'm not sure if the expression 'next week' is correct in this world, because I haven't asked.)
Anyway, when I got back to the hall, the first people were already sitting in their chairs waiting. So, Julienne-san was at the reception, and Etoelise-san was organizing and helping at the hall for the people getting treatment. Hmm, that's a smart idea. It might be really efficient.
"Now, let's start the treatment. You can just stay seated as you are."
* * *
Yahoo, a new record! 250 people. Maybe Julienne-san and Etoelise-san's teamwork worked well, because I had less wait time in the morning, about 150 people, and around 100 in the afternoon. I didn't count, but Julienne-san said so.
I might take a breather in two weeks. Depending on the situation, maybe one week here and two weeks there would be okay too, right?
Well, I still have to solve the water issue early, so I guess I'll still be busy myself.
"Hey Julienne-san, Etoelise-san, how's it going?"
"W-well, I thought I was gonna die."
"Don't say that! I'm not gonna die!"
"Thanks for your hard work. As for me, I'll drop by your brother's place later and have a delicious meal before going home."
"Oh yeah, it definitely got tastier. No doubt, it might be the best in this town, you know?"
"Oh really?"
Even Julienne-san chimed in.
"You probably can't drink liquor, but maybe they have some snacks for delivery, right?"
"That could work. Etoelise-chan, can you take care of that for me?"
"Sure, I got it."
"Well then, I'll head back to Watterhill's tonight, see you again in 7 days."
"Take care."
"Alright, see you later."
I waved goodbye as I left the guild building. The clock on the "Display Self-Status (Always)" screen showed 5:30 PM.
Without returning to the inn, I went straight to the stables. I greeted the receptionist at the overnight room and walked down the hallway. The door was open, and it seemed like Rosalier-san had arrived first. She was brushing Centrena's feathers.
"Good job."
'Kuu.'
"I'm back, I guess? Rosalier-san, Centrena."
I took out Rosalier-san's black cloak from my inventory and handed it to her. I also took out my own cloak and put it on.
"Thank you."
"It's getting colder. It's even colder in the sky."
"Indeed, it is."
Centrena stayed still and looked at me, as if telling me to "get on" with a soft 'kuu'.
"Well then, Centrena-san. Please."
'Kuu.'
Rosalier-san sat sideways on Centrena's back first.
"Alright, let's go outside."
'Kuu'
Before I get on, I have to go to the side of the ranch. After Centrena leaves, I close the door on the aisle side and lock the door on the ranch side from the outside.
I go around to where Centrena is waiting and give her a tight hug.
"Okay, let's go to Watterhill's, please."
'Kuu''
I mount behind Rosalier-san. It seems like there's still room behind me. I put my foot through the stirrup and hold Rosalier-san like a hug, then take the reins. Looking at the 'Display Self-Status' screen, it's almost 6 p.m.
"Alright, it's okay."
'Kuu'
Slowly, really slowly, we start to pick up speed. Spreading her wings, I feel a light floating sensation. That's when Centrena kicked the ground a little harder.
In terms of height, maybe about 4-5 meters from the ground? Smoothly and comfortably, we pass over the lake. As we pass through, I can see the road to Watterhill's that Rosalier-san told me about earlier.
The time on the usual screen is just before 6 PM. Since the sun hasn't set yet, I can see the distant sunset. Slowly flapping her wings, Centrena continues to rise, and now she is gliding at a height of about 5 meters above the tall trees, resembling poplars, lined along the road.
In this situation, there is nothing to obstruct the surroundings. When I look back, I can see the castle town of Daioraden on the other side of the lake. It gradually becomes further away.
Hello everyone,

- 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.

- Another project revolves around the MC whose heroines aspire to become his mother instead of his lover. Read this unusual story 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!
