463 - - Episode 23 Miya & Quone, Protecting

Miya(Yami)...... is going to have a very important issue.

......Quone(nene)sis, what kind of problem is that?"

In the living room of a suite of luxury inns in the United Beastmen States, Quorn raises the issue with a serious expression to Mya, who is sitting on the front sofa.

She tells him in a grave voice, as if in penitence.

I'm about to get fat and lose my health from all the delicious food and sweets I've been eating indoors.

............"

1As a woman, it is hard to say 'fattening,' so I used the word 'health-damaging.

Mya herself anticipated Quone's statement and pointed out that he had told her before that he was advising her.

"I know that food and sweets are delicious, but since you can't exercise by staying cooped up in your ...... room, I told you all that time that 'overeating is not good.'"

I've heard that it's in the spirit of being an adventurer to eat when you can. ......

It depends on the occasion. ...... It depends on when you are returning from deep in the dungeon, when you are on a forced march, or when it is difficult to take a meal break. It's not like I'm saying, 'Let's eat to our limit' every day, you know?"

I mean, I've been duped!

I don't think it's so much a mistake as a deception, a self-inflicted wound, don't you think?"

As Miya and Quone are engaged in a comic conversation, there is a knock at the door.

"............."

Despite the fact that both men were having a comic conversation, they instantly switched to serious expressions.

This is a safe zone, but it is not absolute.

Although the Beastmen Confederacy had mentioned that they wanted to sell their favors to the "Witch of the Giant Tower," there was no possibility that they would sell themselves to the goddess religion or the heroes.

Therefore, the two still call each other Miya (Yami) and Kuone (Nene) sister, and they also took turns bathing in the indoor bathhouse for short periods of time.

They took turns bathing in the indoor bathhouse for short periods of time so that if they were stepped on while bathing, one of them could escape and call for help in the worst case scenario.

Mya and Kuone believed in the Alliance of Beastmen up to a certain point, but they did not trust them completely.

The two nodded to each other and casually took a position where they could escape at any time.

Mya approaches the door and replies.

Yes, can I help you?"

I am sorry to disturb you while you are relaxing. You have a visitor.

I understand. I will open the door.

The "guest" is the bear-breed beastman who introduced Mya and her friends to this place.

He visited the inn once a few days ago.

The reason for his visit was to explain that he had sent a trusted adventurer with a letter for the Witch of the Giant Tower.

He also said, 'I will come back to report if there is any progress.

This was so that he would not attract unwanted attention from those around him by visiting the inn too many times.

（I don't think so... (Did he already make progress?)

Mya wonders, exchanges a glance with Quone, and opens the door.

It was only a few days ago that we received a report that the adventurers had departed.

Normally, this would be impossible, but since they were dealing with the "Witch of the Giant Tower," common sense would not apply.

In the corridor, there were two people waiting for them, one of the bear race and the other with a hood over his head.

It seems that the Inumimi clerk had already been lowered.

For a moment, Mya is surprised to see the hooded figures waiting behind the bear race. ......

'Don't worry, Mya,' he said. These women are waiting for the two of you."

'......!　Please, come in the room."

The sudden dialogue caused his consciousness to turn white for a moment, but he quickly rebooted.

He invites the three into the room.

As they enter the room, the person standing behind the bear species beast race - the fairy maid x2 - removes her hood.

They were working in pairs, considering the possibility of a trap.

'As stated in the letter, I am sure it is Mya-sama and Quone-sama.

Thank you very much for your protection. We will certainly convey this achievement to our Lord.

Oh!　Thank you!"

The reply from the fairy maids made the bear race smile with delight.

The fairy maids turn to Mya and Kuone, who are still not quite following the situation.

The fairy maids turned back to Mya and Kuone, who were still not sure what was going on.　If you have any luggage or other belongings, rest assured that we will come back later to pick them up."

No, I'm fine.

Thank you very much. Then I will come back to visit you later.

We're fine anytime, even on a day that is convenient for the 'Witch of the Giant Tower'.

Mya managed to reply on behalf of the group, and after the fairy maid exchanged greetings with the bear species beast race, she took out her "transition" card and released it.

In an instant, the view switched from the Beastmen United Nation's high-class inn to the interior of the "Giant Tower," which was, in a sense, familiar to them.

The ones who moved were Miya, Kuone, and two fairy maids.

The other fairy maids were waiting inside the "huge tower" where they had moved.

They greeted Mya and the others upon their return.

The representative fairy maid steps forward and announces.

Mya-sama and Kuone-sama, thank you for your long journey. You are already inside the "Giant Tower. There are no more beings that would harm you two. Your safety is assured. I'm sure you have many questions, but first, please go to your room inside the "Giant Tower" and relax your body and soul.

"............"

Hey, sister Quone (Nene)!

The fairy maid's words caused Quone to slump down on the spot.

Mya is startled by her sudden slump, and she screams.

To Miyah, Quone smiles poorly with teary eyes.

She says, "Mya, Mya ...... I felt so relieved, I just fell off my back. ......"

Realizing that he is finally completely safe, Quone sits back and no longer calls Miya "Yami".

Mya made a smile at the response and, likewise, sat back down on her haunches.

Quone-chan,...... we were able to reach the "Giant Tower" without incident, weren't we?"

Yeah, yeah,...... I'm really glad we got there,......

In reality, the "Infinite Gacha" card was used to transfer to the "Giant Tower," but it would be uncivil to go into that.

The fairy maid understood their feelings and watched them for a while without saying a word.

The fairy maid understood their feelings and watched them for a while without saying a word.

"You protected Mya and her friends!"

The office at the lowest level of "The Abyss.

I received a report from May that Mya and Quone were safely protected along with the documents.

May gives me the information she has in her hand without hesitation.

Mya & Kuone had disguised themselves to escape from the eyes of the "Goddess Church" and the heroes after they were transferred by the professor. Miya was dressed as a man, and Quone had cut off her long hair and was acting as a sister and brother.

The two shook off the search for the Goddess cult and headed for "Giant Tower Town" via the Beastmen Alliance to seek help from the "Witch of the Giant Tower.

In the capital of the United Federation of Beastmen, Mya and her sister encountered a bear beastman who had previously tangled with us in a dwarven dungeon town, and Gold had taught him the "chivalrous spirit.

The bear-breed beastman recognized Mya's male attire by her scent and approached her.

After moving to a different location, after hearing what was going on from the two, the beastmen of the United Beastmen Nations, the bear race of beastmen, moved alone and sent out a messenger to contact the "Witch of the Giant Tower".

Instead of using regular methods, they trespassed into the forest and approached "Giant Tower Town.

At first, they thought that the beastmen with a grudge against the "Giant Tower Witch" were approaching "Giant Tower Town" to harass them, and caught them. ......

The bear-breed beastmen, who were approaching by trespassing, hurriedly revealed their identities and offered a letter.

The content of the letter was, 'We are the bear tribe and we have protected Mya and Quone.

Understanding the contents of the letter, we unofficially took them inside the "Giant Tower" as they were.

After hearing the details of the situation, the information was immediately given to Ellie, the "Witch of the Giant Tower.

While considering the possibility of a trap, Ellie immediately dispatches the "Infinite Gacha" card and fairy maids who have been equipped with the necessary equipment.

As she was informed, she made contact with Miya and Quone, and immediately moved them to the inside of the "Giant Tower" with the transfer card.

The two women are now under our protection in a guest room inside the "Giant Tower. They are mentally exhausted from the attempt on their lives by the Goddess of Mercy and the heroes, but they have no physical injuries and their lives are in good condition.

I'm glad we were able to get them both to safety. ...... I had no idea that they were going to "Giant Tower City" via the Beast Alliance. I thought there was little chance of them going that way due to the trauma of Quorn's death.

Of course, just to be on the safe side, we had also sent a manpower team in the direction of the Beastmen Alliance to track the whereabouts of the two men.

However, the speed at which the two were moving was unexpectedly fast, and the fact that Mya was dressed as a man and Quone had cut her hair and used makeup to disguise her age was not what we had expected.

Also, the bear tribe protected them almost perfectly to prevent any information from leaking out.

We were able to do this.

I doubt that the goddess religion and the heroes are still able to trace the whereabouts of Mya and Kuone even in the shadows.

But I never thought that the bear beastman who tangled with us in that dwarf dungeon town would end up helping Mya and the others. ...... You never know where fate will lead you. ......

As far as I've heard what happened and scrutinized the information, it really seems to be a coincidence. It just so happened that he happened to be at the river landing that day and happened to walk by the two of them, and I think it was thanks to his scent that he recognized them."

I nodded in agreement with May's report.

It was not that I had intentionally targeted the two swimmers and made contact with them under the guise of coincidence.

It was really just a coincidence.

I'm sure he didn't protect them out of the best of intentions, but I'm sure they were saved. We have to give something back to the Beastmen Confederacy, especially the bear tribe, for this achievement."

I would be happy to discuss the details with Ellie and submit a draft to you.

Mae, I'll leave it to Ellie and the others.

Thank you.

May smiled and bowed, looking genuinely happy that I had been given the job.

When she looked up, she made a cold expression unlike the one she had just made.

She looked up at me and gave me a cool-headed look. "Next, Goddess Church, regarding the brave men, according to ...... information, it seems that we are almost ready for the adventurers who will lead the attack on the "Natsura" dungeon. Also, apart from the "Abyss" dungeon attack, the heroes are getting ready to leave for various locations to investigate the whereabouts of the two adventurers. I am sure that the heroes will be leaving soon and committing violence. What are you going to do, Mr. Wright?

I leaned back in my office chair and laughed at May's question.

I'll deal with her as planned, then. The price for joining the party is their lives and information. It's the path they have chosen. We'll do our best to make sure they have as much fun as possible.

I am in awe of you. As you say, Mr. Wright."

May bowed more deeply than before and replied.

At this moment, the fate of the heroes was decided.
