393 - - 391 Episode: A dull morning

After the confession of the Gulli clan had been echoed all over the city, it seems that Sylphy dumped them in front of the King and the Grand Master of the Adventurers' Guild.

I wonder if it is safe to deliver them directly to the king, let alone the grand master.

"Yuta, what are you going to do now?　Should we go back to the labyrinth city now?"

"Yuta, let's go back and have a banquet."

I was feeling slightly uneasy, when Sylphy asked me what I was going to do next. If wants to go back and have a drink as soon as possible. What should we do?

The interrogation of the Galli family took longer than expected, but we still have enough time to get Gina and the others.

"Well, If, I'd like to check on the situation in King's Landing a bit more, so the banquet will have to wait a bit. Sylphy, keep an eye on the kings and the Grand Master. Let me know if there's any movement on my part."

I am afraid to go back to King's Landing without gathering any information after causing such a commotion in the city. I know I won't get caught, but if the king is pissed off, I'd like to know first.

"I think the king knows it was Yuta. He told me to send Barotta after the finalization work."

They already knew. Well, I had no problem with that since I knew they would find out, but it was too soon. And Barotta ...... is probably a great guy, but I guess he was chosen because he's a genie magician as well. I'm sorry about that.

"Was the king angry?"

"Well, he wasn't angry, but he's stunned. If it is confirmed that Yuta did this, I'll send Barotta to teach him how to use the dagger. Do you want me to say hello?"

You're talking about me in the present tense. Greetings from ...... I've been thinking about the possibility of meeting with the king in the flow of things, but I don't think I want to force myself to meet with him.

"I guess I should meet him?"

"You don't have to see him, do you?　Instead of Yuta, he seems to be busy investigating the crimes exposed by the Galli family and sending the Knights to get their hands on the military."

It's like he's prioritized getting the domestic pus out of his system. If you're not mad and you're busy, it's not nice to bother you. I'm an airhead, so I don't make unannounced visits to places that look busy.

Where's the grandmaster?

"They seem to be convinced that Yuta did it. But they haven't been harmed, and they're working hard to investigate the Gulli clan."

It seems that the Adventurers' Guild has been getting into trouble with the Gulli clan and the nobles, and if they're on a roll, then it's not my place. Then I'll go back to the labyrinth city. I've caused a lot of commotion in the city, but I'll give them a break if it means there will be fewer stupid nobles.

"Thank you all for everything today. This is all I have for you, but please drink as much as you like."

We quickly returned to the labyrinth city, picked up Marco, Kikka, Belle and the others from Mel's place, had dinner at the inn, then went to pick up Gina and Sara and started the banquet as promised.

It would have been too small for all the spirits to gather at Mr. Toruku's inn, but the spacious rooms at the high-class inn allowed for plenty of room for a keg of sake.

Belle and the others stayed in Gina's room, so I can drink at my leisure. Well, I'm going to drop Gina and Sara off tomorrow morning just in case, so let's enjoy ourselves in moderation.

"So, how was your day?"

Nomos asked me after taking a swig of ale. He was at least a little interested in how the Gulli clan ended up.

"Woohoo, my sister did a great job! She built a pond in King's Landing!"

It is true that Deene played an active role, but is she more proud of having built a pond than of having defeated the enemy? This is very spirit-like.

"Hmmm ...... why are you building a pond?　I thought you were going to defeat the enemy."

Nomos quickly gave up on the conversation with Dine and asked me about it. I think it's the right decision, but Deanne, who was ready to be praised, looks bloated, doesn't she?

He pours a glass of alcohol for a disgruntled Dine and explains the situation to Nomos after giving her a proper compliment.

"I see, so you have shown us how to use the necromancer to improve the environment instead of only destroying it. Hmmm, that's a good idea. Well done, Deanne!

"Hmph, she is a maiden of pure water..."

Dine, who has been praised by Nomos, drinks up her drink in a good mood and says something out of context. Those are the words I've kept inside of me. Forget them.

"What is it?"

"It's nothing. Come on, Nomos and Dine, your mugs are empty. I drank. I drank.

It may seem pointless to hide it, but there are times when you still want to put up a futile resistance. Let's offer him a drink to cover it up.

"That's right. I must drink!"

"I'll have one too, sister!"

If you can fool them so easily, it makes me worry about you as a contractor. Well, in Nomos's case, it's probably because he wasn't interested in it in the first place.

Well, I'll have a drink too. I've worked hard today, I should be able to drink well.

"Yuta, are you okay?"

"Belle. I might ...... be a ...... loser already. ......"

I can't get out of bed because of a terrible headache, and Bell calls out to me in a worried tone. I reply with all my strength.

"Whoa!　Shilfu, you're in trouble!"

The sound of her high-pitched voice, peculiar to children, echoes in my head.

"Phew, it's just a hangover, don't worry about it."

Sylphy, who was called by Belle, came over to me looking like some kind of a bother and guessed my symptoms precisely. She was right, but shouldn't she be a little more concerned?　Dolly, who came with me, is looking at me with concern, okay?　I hope you will learn from his kindness.

"Is it good?"

"Yes. It's a symptom of a bad adult who drank too much without knowing his limits. You should all take a good look at it. That's a bad person.

Sylphy's being a little harsh. I was just in a good mood after beating up the Marquis de Galli, so I had a little too much to drink. ....... I drank too much because I was being encouraged by a big spirit who drank too much alcohol.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! ......"

Oh, the innocent gazes of children hurt.

"Stop this nonsense and get Moon to fix you up. Or have you been groaning in bed all day?"

Well, of course. Let's get you fixed up quick.

Moon, please.

Moon shudders and lies on my forehead. It's smooth and soft and a little cool, and it just feels good. Oh, here it comes. This feeling of toxins being cleansed out of my body is ...... becoming a habit.

"Whew, I'm back!　Thank you, Moon."

Moon is shaking at high speed. He seems happy to be working. But you know, the only job I've ever asked Moon to do was to cure my hangover. We don't get hurt at all, so Moon doesn't have much to do.

The spirit of life who specializes in curing hangovers...... is a luxury, but is it really enough?

And not only Moon, but also Vita, the Great Spirit, is under contract. It seems like a waste of money. No, Vita also collects and manages yeast fungi for us, so it's not a waste of money at all.　

"Yuta, I'm fine!" "Cue," "peace of mind," "coo," "it was good!" ......"

I'm just recovering from a hangover, but I'm so relieved to play with good kids who are happy to see me. I'm so happy.

"Yuta, what are you going to do today?　Do you want a day off?"

"Oh, I'm feeling fine, but what should I do?"

Now that I've finished my work, I feel like I can take a rest and relax at least today. We can ask Sylphy to deliver the materials to the labyrinth core for disposal soon, and we can spare some time.

"Hmm?　Huh?　Speaking of which, where's Gina and the others?"

"Gina and Sara went to help out at Torque's place. Marco and Kikka are in their room practicing their spiritual arts with Uri and the others after breakfast."

Oh, it's that time already. I was drinking late last night and overslept. But I'm a little proud of my students who are working hard. Hmm?

"So, Gina and Sara went out alone?"

I guess it doesn't matter since Shiva and the others are with them, but I guess I messed up. Even though I've almost closed the case with the Gulli family, I was going to drop them off and see how they were doing until today or so. .......

"Just in case, Vita went with Gina and Sara, so you don't have to worry."

Oh, good. I'm quite thankful to have the great spirits who follow me around when I'm out of my depth. I'll make sure I pick you up on my way home.

"Thank you. Then I'll take the rest of the day off and relax.

We've been a little busy the past few days and haven't been able to communicate with Belle and the others as much as we'd like, so let's pamper them, Marco and Kikka as much as we can today.

"Okay. Oh, and as you can see, Dine and the others are still drinking over there, so get them out of here."

Sylphy looked at Dine, Nomos, and If, who were drinking with a large number of barrels of liquor lying around them. ......It was already past breakfast time and they were still drinking.

I asked Marie to make it easier for me to collect alcohol, so I'm sorry I treated them so well as a celebration for defeating the Marquis de Galli. It's endlessly bad for Sarah and Belle's education.

And now I know the reason why Sylphy is so subtle and strict. Maybe Sylphy was drinking with them until Belle called her. And it's so easy ...... to understand that Sylphy is in a bad mood because she can't drink and they are still having a good time. Is that right, Great Spirit?

Also, Vita who stopped drinking and dropped Gina and Sara off, and Dolly who stopped drinking and came over even though she wasn't invited, are very kind. I will thank Dolly and Vita, including Sylphy who seems to be a bit of a pain in the ass.

First, we'll clean up the banquet hall with the barrels of liquor lying around, and then we'll have a full day of fun with Belle and Sara. Let's enjoy our holiday to the fullest.
