21 . Twenty-first episode: Unification of the Makai and Barbatos

Hey! I see Ren and the others are here too.

Mr. Randy?

Sitting at the table was Randy, an adventurer from Guild=Dunames. When we met up with Randy, Serena spoke to him.

Do you want to join the round table?

'Well, Gilmour can't get out, so me and two others are joining in. 'Hey! I'd like to introduce you to Serena and the others, please come.

Randy called, and a boy and a girl ran up to Randy.

'Could it be,' Randy said. 'Guild-Azma! It's real!

'Calm down, Esther. Excuse me, Azumas, my name is 'Alan'.

Ren, with his short black hair, yellow eyes and a hint of concealed but competent competence, was next to me when Alan greeted me. Estelle steps forward.

'I am Esther-Allekilde! Nice to meet you~!

What? Could it be that Esther-san is the same Esther who conquered the Forbidden City Dungeon?

Her long, slightly light green hair is pulled back in a ponytail and she's wearing an armor plate across her chest.

Serena gives me a look of happiness that I've never seen on her face. Myu approaches with Rem as I'm thinking about how I'm that famous.

''Serena-sama is a 'fan' of Esther-san. She's the first woman to conquer a difficult dungeon, so that's one of the reasons why Serena-sama wants to be a Gilmouth.

I see. So now Serena is happily shaking hands with Estelle-san to ask her to shake her hand, and when I hear the click of armor nearby, I turn around and see a man standing there in easy to move plate armor and a mithril helmet (headpiece).

I'm sorry, but do you know where we can get a snack?

Snacks?

Len looked around and found a snack area with sandwiches, snacks and water.

'Over there. 'Erm?'

I'm Zeon.

He calls himself Zeon. If you look closely, you can see that the midsword and armor on his waist are dirty, but something seems off.

My name is Azuma-Ren.

Ren, hmm? You care about my armor?

'What? No, it's a little different in the way it's dirty.

No... and why?

Zeon asks a question. I answer, "Yes.

I've been wondering if it's because of the dirt, even though it was originally a difficult area to get dirty. I'm wondering if the weapons and armor are dirty on purpose.

That's right. This is a deliberate defilement, to catch a hexenbiest by surprise.

I knew it. When you've been making armor for a long time, you know where it's easy to get dirty.

"Thank you for showing me.

No!

Zeon goes over there for refreshments. Then Randy taps Ren on the shoulder.

'Ren! You knew Zeon!

You see the look of surprise on Randy's face? Mr. Zeon, you just look like an ordinary adventurer.

I've never met Zeon-san before. He looked like he was looking for a snack bar.

Seriously?

Randy lets out a little sigh.

'Like Zeon talking to a guy he's never met before! You are a very rare sight, man.

Zeon-san doesn't talk to me much.

I look at the snack section and let him approach my sandwich with his helmet on and disappear, Zeon-san mumbling and moving his mouth. He's eating with his helmet on.

I'm not going to let him go! Rude!

I heard a yellow scream. I looked in the direction of the scream and saw Serena holding a little girl in her arms.

Let go of her, little girl! A mistress is not a child!

'Little and pretty... where did you come from? Lost! Then I'll take care of it.

You wait, my lord! Campanella! Why don't you help me when my mistress is in trouble!

Who is this little girl Serena is holding? It was the sister I met earlier when I called her Campanella. Is it the same guild as that little girl?

''Hmm? Please continue to have Serena's place for protection. I'll take care of Diabolos (Demon Unity Coalition) Gilmouth.

Campanella said as they ate their snacks, and the little girl exclaimed with tears in her eyes.

'Campanella's excuse! Wow! Somebody help me!

The little girl looks a bit cute when Serena catches her, it can't be helped.

'Serena, he's with the guild over there. Let her go.''

Hmmm, okay.

I tell her that and Serena gets a little depressed, but it's a crime to protect a little girl without permission.

I mumble in my mind. Then someone tugs on my sleeve.

'I don't know who you are, but thank you for saving me, boy! What is your name, my dear?

I'm Azuma-Ren, and you're an adventurer of the Guild-Diabolos?

'Hmm. The name of my straw is Nero Luci Barbados. The Guild of Diabolos, Gilmouth! I love it! Will you join your concubine?

Hiye!

'I knew it! I can't leave you alone, me!

Nah!

Nero was held by Serena again.

I let Nero go from Serena before the roundtable began, and the roundtable finally began as we took our seats.
