"May I ask you something?"

"What?"

As I was wiping her sweat while trying to help Camilla recover once more, Reno spoke to me, with Galahad and Eagle, who were still recovering. My recovery has the effect of healing illnesses, but Camilla doesn't seem to be getting better, whether it's the fact that I can only take away the heat with <> or the level of my recovery is too low.

"I'm a dragonut, but I was proud that I've become relatively good at applying various patterns to human subtleties..."

"Yeah?"

You can read the air better than I can, Reno. But the nuance of your words suggests that you were not expressing emotional sympathy, but rather making an assumption based on your experience.

"For the sake of posterity, can you tell me why these two men are clutching their underwear and devastated?"

"...... Why is that?"

I know that Reno is eager to learn, but this is a difficult question to answer. Moreover, it is terrible when put calmly into words.

"...... I am devastated by the fact that this piece of cloth performs better than all the equipment I have worked so hard to acquire. And when I made a life-threatening decision to go to Mount Huaguo, the absurdity of the problem being solved by a pair of underpants. Above all, I can't accept the reality that I have to wear these from now on.

A very weak voice came up from below.

"I don't understand why my hardships, worries, weaknesses, and struggles that have been going on for a while now have to be solved by pants. ......"

A tired voice crawled up from next door. It's funny, I thought I was recovering and refreshing earlier, but why are we both so tired?　I think, "What is this? Just store it away when you're not using it!　There were three of them in my luggage, which bothered me immensely, but now that I finally have a purple one, I'm kind of relieved!

"Is it really that great ......"

You look awfully suspicious, Leno.

"If you want to see it, go ahead. I can't give it away because it's non-transferable."

Eagle, who seems to have recovered a bit, offers his pants to Leno.

"It's quite a surreal sight."

Whose fault is it?　Whose!"

"Yes!　Why the pants!　If this had been a cape or normal equipment, it would have been acceptable!"

I mumbled something and my emotions got the better of me.

"It's not my fault, okay?　Tell that complaint to the Goddess of Shame."

I'm one of the bewildered ones!　

"Wow, [Resistance to all weather conditions], [Steel Body], and [Musubi Body]. The defense is also unparalleled. And it also has [charm], [non-destructible], and [non-transferable]. ...... is indeed a divine weapon. Why he has two of these is a mystery.

Reno is stunned by the performance of the boomerang pants. No tweaks to the pants?　Is it okay that it's pants?

The [Steel Body] and the [Demonic Body of Yui] are increases in physical and magical defense, respectively. The purple pants I have do not have such a high defense, but since they have the same effect, they can beat the white equipment in terms of defense alone. If I have to say so, it is weak against mental anomalies. The defense alone was much better than that of my equipment when I got it.

And instead of the defense being lower than that of gold and silver, the effect of "charm" is uselessly maximized when it's fully exposed. What is she thinking, that unfortunate goddess?

......How about the charm that doesn't work when it matters most? Is it recommended to take off half of your clothes?　

"There's no point in staying here anyway. Shall we go to my store?"

"Shop?"

"Oh, I remember you said you were going to open a store in Fast."

Eagle says as if he has an idea. He did not give details because he did not start the general store in earnest until after he and Galahad had defeated Far Farshi.

Homra, that store in Fast is convenient for us. Even he can't touch the temple and guilds of Fast. But it's not good news for you.

Galahad says with a serious face, and Eagle tells him of the disadvantages.

"We are dealing with a wizard who is over 1,000 years old. We're not clearly hostile to them yet, but from the looks of things, they'll probably try to kill us just as soon as they meet us.

Is the guild an adventurers guild?　I've never met the head of the guild in Fast, but I wonder if he is a messenger?　Presumed name Mr. Mac-Donald .

"Me and Cal are fine, but I'm a little worried about Lapidus and Noel."

"It's uneconomical, but Galahad and the others are banned except for transfers. It's a little late for that, don't you think?

"Oh, you always do ......, then there's no way they'll know where you are."

Reno agreed. If they are enemies with the wizard, presumably Merlin, then the three of them are not knights chasing Cal, and we have no problem welcoming them.

"Are we going to involve them?"

It's too late for that.

That's why I came back to my store.

I moved and put Camilla in my room. The bed she had never used became her sickbed.

"I'll ask the clerk downstairs to take care of Camilla and then we'll leave. I want you to rest assured that nothing will leak out, including Reno.

Yes, please.

I'd like to say hello too.

"Hey, ......!

"Lord, who are these two?"

Greetings to the waiter on site. Cal is squinting, wary, and his voice is lower than usual. Galahad and the others seem simply surprised.

"Ah, so you know each other. I heard he escaped from a wicked wizard."

He waves his hand in the air and quickly announces that he is not in a hostile position.

Why are you here?

Are you all right?

I wasn't safe, but I am now. I wasn't safe at the treatment site either, but I'm safe now.

"Lapidus, there is a sick man in my room. Can you manage to change her? In my robe for now."

Something like an emotional reunion began, so I decided to do my job. I am somewhat embarrassed to see tears welling up in the eyes of Galahad and the others.

Camilla is still equipped for battle. I have used life magic to make it clean, but it's not suitable for sick clothes. I want to change her, but I can't take it off myself.

For the time being, I decide to leave Galahad and Eagle alone and take care of Camilla, whose thoughts seem not to have caught up with Kal's appearance.

"Lift her up on your back, Lord."

Like this?

That's it, I'm having a slightly naughty shounen manga protagonist-like experience of supporting Camilla's body while blindfolded. LAPIS instructs me to lift up her arms, legs, etc. Yes, I'm blindfolded, so I can't help but touch myself in all sorts of weird places!　The blindfold is making me paranoid, doctor.

"Lord, I'm in trouble. I don't have any underwear."

"Boom!"

"Can I just wear a robe?"

I feel Lapidus tilting his head.

No, I've cleaned up with that [life magic], you didn't have to take off your underwear, Lapidus!

Camilla, are you naked under the robe now?　No, before that, were you naked before you put the robe on!　I was lifting my unclothed legs!

"Do you mind if it's a drop from a demon?　I don't know about women's underwear."

Gently pulls out a scanty of a succubus with a lust for pleasure. I think I was quite confused when I put out the scanty. I wonder if Asha's "glimpsing instructor" had worked in this situation.

"Hmm. No problem."

I'm glad to see that Lapidus is so nonchalant, but I'm also worried that he might do something terrible.

"Lord, Lapidus, you did your best.

I finish dressing Camilla, who is thrilled and pink, and when I remove the blindfold, Lapis hugs me and buries her face in my clothes. Her ears are twitching, as if she wants me to pet her.

"Yeah, you worked hard."

In more ways than one. You're doing a great job.

I pat him on the head. Noel likes to be stroked gently, but Lapidus likes the top of his head between his ears to be stroked a little harder, including the ears.

What's the excuse for the succubus scanty when Camilla wakes up: .......

"Ittee-tet-tet-tet-tet."

I went downstairs to find Galahad holding Cal by the head with a magnificent iron claw. How did this happen after the emotional reunion? Galahad is teary-eyed in a different way than before.

"You son of a b*tc*, of all people, you're bothering the Lord!"

Get off me!　Old f*cker!"

Geezer?　Cal, how old are you really?

"Geez!　It's creaking, creaking, creaking!"

Beside Galahad, Eagle was drinking tea gracefully. Noel or Reno must have served it. He was making a lot of noise, but did it bother him? Eagle seems to be used to it, but Reno and Noel are also driving normally.

"Lord, Lapidus, welcome back. How are you?

Noel notices me and offers me tea.

"I'm just getting her dressed and putting her down for the night. You've got a terrible fever, as they say.

I thought a fever over 40 degrees for more than three days could cause brain damage.　Men can't have it either. Or is it different from the real world because we have a tolerance in this world?

"<>" is a disease, but it is a outbreak of fire. If you are lucky, the fever goes down as if nothing happened, but when you wake up, the fire is gone and the M! is also reduced by half. If it doesn't go down, the fire inside me will consume my life. Camilla is still okay.

"Fire seems to be a strong attribute. Are they going to be okay?

"It's hard to say. After all this time, I'm starting to think that this disease might be artificially caused by that ...... wizard Merlin. The reason why Lancelot-sama was targeted first may be because he is the only knight who doesn't have the fire attribute, in addition to his strength and popularity."

At last the name is out in the open, and it comes with a "sir".

That's not easy.

Sorry to drag you into this. Sorry to drag you into this. ......"

What?

"Homura, why is that man here?"

Eagle smiles.

"Because I hired you as a bouncer?"

"I've never heard of a man with the name of the mightiest knight being a bouncer in a grocery store!"

"Oh, my God!"

He grabbed me by the cheeks!

"It's lively, isn't it?"

Reno, who is drinking tea without a care in the world.

Noel and Lapidus look at me and Eagle and seem to be at a loss as to whether they should stop.

The night at the general store is colored by the screams of Galahad and me.
