Chapter 159 Work Is Fast
"Ah, that's right. About Mom (Danna)."
"What is it? Maya-chan"
Maya-chan was passing by when she saw Mom, and chased after her.
Maya-chan calls Privia-san mother, and calls Danna-san mom.
"You know, you know. I want to tell Mom that Maya wants the spell book you gave to brother, too."
"Okay. I'll let you know."
"Please."
By the way, Maya-chan. It's like I couldn't even read the words on the cover of the spellbook in my study. I can't read either, so it's the same thing, but I honestly don't know if Maya's magic level is low, or if it's a spellbook with a different attribute magic than ours.
"Hey, brother."
Is it about that spellbook we talked about?
"Hmm?"
"Maya's appraisal keeps getting rejected. I think Maya might not have enough level. Can I borrow it?"
So by appraising the spellbook, she can level up her Appraisal Skill. Knowing whether she gained experience points or not feels like cheating, you know. Yeah.
"Sure."
"Yay! Then I'll get ready and wait for you at Alesion-tan's place."
"Got it."
Seeing that Maya-chan's maid, Diemirena-san, isn't with her, she is probably feeding Alesion and Centrena by now. Well, it's about time to head to work.
"Tatsuma-kun"
"Yes?"
Compared to yesterday, Mother seems to be in a good mood since morning.
"Today, we'll be interrogating the Prisoner in the afternoon, is that okay?"
"Yes. Are we going to the underground guild with Maya-chan?"
"Yes, please."
"Understood. I'll be on my way."
"Ah, please go."
Privia-san is definitely taller than me by 20cm (0,6ft). She lightly pats my head. It feels like being treated as a child. Well, I am a child after all.
We descended the stairs and arrived at a place that used to be Centrena and the others' stable, but now it looked more like a small warehouse.
"Goshujin-sama, good morning."
"Tatsuma-sama, good morning."
Rosalier-san, that's what they call her in the mansion. And next to her is Her Majesty, Mylavirna. She's wearing a maid outfit in the guild colors. Is that alright? Like this?
"Good morning, Your Majesty."
"My-la."
"Ah, yes. Princess Myla."
"Myla-san."
"Yes, Myla-san. Good morning."
"As long as you understand."
What's with that smug face? You're cute, but it's troublesome, you know. Rosalier-san, you look like you're about to burst out laughing.
"Good morning, Rosalier-san."
"Oh, it's a bento...hahaha."
"You really have a low boiling point, huh?"
"M-Myl――hahaha."
"Hey, hey, big brother. Let's go already!"
"Oh, right. Rosalier-san, Myla, see you later!"
"Yes, have a safe trip."
"Goodbye, take care!"
Mii-cchan, also known as Rena-san, is laughing awkwardly next to Alesion. Stop laughing and do something about it, geez...
Before Maya-chan, I rode Centrena like Mother. Then she stands up and jumps as if she knows where she's going.
So, with Rosalier-san, Queen Myla, Diie Remina-san, and Alesion seeing us off, we headed towards the shrine.
* * *
"New Record!"
Maya-chan raised both hands in excitement.
"Did your Holy Attribute Magic level up?"
"Yeah, kinda. It's more like an increase in experience points."
"Wow, that's impressive even if it's just visible."
"Thanks. Alright, shall we go, dear brother?"
"I told you, it gives me the creeps, so please stop."
"Thank you for your hard work, Tatsuma-sama, Maya-sama."
"Yes. Ah, looks like we're busy."
"Yeah, yeah. You're right."
After greeting us, Gefi-san quickly left. Being the head of shrine must be tough. After all, more than a hundred people visit every day for treatment of the Oso (Dreadful element) poison.
But now, I'm pretty sure we've already exceeded half of them. I've heard that Tigerman (Kojinzoku) and Cat-people men in Ensgard are about the same number as the Watterhill's. There shouldn't be any severely ill people left.
We're using the Magic Tool for water, and the water in the water bottle seems to still be safe. With Gefi-san and others detoxifying the vegetables and meat, we should be able to ensure a reasonable level of safety.
It's about time we make plans to return to Watterhill's, but maybe after the issue of illegal fishing settles down?
Maya-chan seems to be in contact with Mahiru-chan, and Swiglefen seems to be doing well. The area is less affected by the Oso poison compared to Ensgard and Watterhill's. With Mahiru-chan and Asaya-kun there, that area should be fine.
After all, there are a decent number of people with Healing Attributes, so it seems to be well managed. Risleyria-san is sharp, after all. As for Seteas-san, as long as he doesn't go punk, it should be fine.
Still, I, well, I'm not allowed to walk outside. People around this neighborhood know me pretty well, so I think it's okay.
But if things with Wareels aren't settled, I'll cause trouble for the people here. I really want to go for a walk soon...
Even though I'm so close, I keep getting transported to Centrena every day. Oh, huh? Why is Alesion here?"
"Hey Maya-chan, what's going on?"
"Oh, mother gave me permission to go. She said it's okay for Alesion-tan to give me a ride within the country."
"Oh, I see. That's why you've been so busy this morning."
"Yeah, so, Alesion-tan, could you take me to the guild?"
'Guu'
"You're ahead of us!"
Well, it looks like it's going to be fun. I'm going to lie down on the back of Centrena, who's waiting face down.
"Alright, should we go too?"
'Kuu'
But in just a few seconds, Centrena takes off and effortlessly arrives at the rooftop of the guild.
Wait, what's that? What's going on? There's a small building on the guild's rooftop, like a temporary tent, no, more like a wooden structure.
"Hey, brother, brother!"
"What's up, huh?"
Diemirena-san bows her head politely.
"I heard they made a temporary stable for Alesion-tan and the others. They work fast, don't they?"
"No way, really?"
Alesion is already eating lunch.
'Kuu'
Centrena lies down next to him, mouth wide open, waiting eagerly.
"Here, Centrena-san, please have some too. Oh, right. Your Excellency is waiting downstairs."
"Oh, I see. Mother is already here, huh?"
"Let's go then."
"Yeah, we can't keep them waiting."
Maya and I walk into the guild building.
