Both quests were completed and now I can be freed from the mandatory work for Lilith.

“We made a small fortune~!” She was happy and now we have enough money to focus on the other things.

We walked out of the guild and just when I was about to slip away I had my sleeve grabbed by muscular hand.

“My dear friend, do you think you can escape the serious talk I promised you?” Lilith was looking at me with a creepy smile.

While I was in confusion Xera grabbed the other hand and now I am led outside of the town. Soon we arrived to a desolate place where we are not going to have unnecessary people around.

As I was turned around towards my captors I could only sigh and introduce myself again.

“As you already know I am Delight. While we met under very eccentric circumstances I am not here to harm you. I am…”

“The sage, right!” Lilith was still having that misunderstanding so I hurried to clear it once and for all.

“I am not a sage, neither I am a mage. I… how to say… a soul of a warship which took a human form.” Judging by the girls’ expressions they expected everything but that.

“I am Her Majesty’s ship Delight and I am sure I have zero traces of magic.”

“How…?” Those were the only words they squeezed out.

“The world is much crazier than the craziest of our dreams~.” I chuckled.

While they were feeling like fish out of the water I checked the stats.

Now I have almost 50/50 chances of exploding. It is still terrible but I hope one day I will be able to focus on something else.

“Am I crazy? No, it shouldn’t be the case… I am sure it's because you are just a complete dumba*…” Xera was as confused as she was before. I was somewhat calmed down by the fact that she is not freaking out.

“N-nice joke! Miss Delight surely knows how to make the best jokes! Ha-ha-ha! You don’t need to hide your powers, I am sure people will understand.” Unlike Xera who assumed that I am crazy, Lilith was just going crazy herself.

I showed them my gear. Xera curiously checked out the details: she amply touched every ladder and gun. She kept on asking questions about everything on the deck. Lilith on the other hand did not do anything but look at me from a distance.

“Lilith, are you alright? Might I do something to help you?” I approached her but she stepped back.

[If I can’t talk to her properly then I should just use a bit of force persuasion.]

I almost flashed behind her and hugged her from behind. Right after I stopped moving I felt something inside my chest. It soon turned into pain but I ignored it.

“M-miss Delight!” I strengthened the grip and whispered.

‘You don’t need to be concerned. If you want to believe in what you imagine, then so be it. I might not be the perfect person for the image but I will not break apart your dreams.’ With this I released her.

“What do you think you are doing?!” Right after I released Lilith from my hands, I had a swords aimed at me.

“Mister knight, calm down please~.” I swear I saw a vein popping up on her forehead. Bullseye?

“Alright, girls. What are we going to do? Should we go and deal with the orc request? Should we go and deal a lethal blow to the slavers?” I summoned them to approach.

“Now that I see how crazy you are, tell us what your plan is.” Xera shrugged her shoulders and pretended to listen to what I am going to say.

“Do you remember that we have some money? I would like to have all of them to pretend to be a rich noble girl. The slavers look like they took the bait and might want to invite me to buy their ‘special’ offers.”

“It’d be naïve to think they really trust you are stupid money waster. Wait…” (X)

“Oh my, did you too believe in my acting skills? I am pleased~.” She rolled her eyes and started mumbling something into the sky.

“I trust you! Now shut up [to Xera] and take my money [to me].” Lilith was full of energy but I think it is a part of her charm.
