Chapter 71

There were various expeditions after a long absence.

Beginning with the phantom monster “Stardust Oaks”, a great uproar with the participation of the Knights of Carneria. And I will never forget the excitement of “Stardust Milk” that I drank for the first time.

And I returned to my home country, Carneria. Reunion with my disciple for the first time in a long time. I didn’t expect to see Henderone again after that.

The destruction of the Kerunea religion and the audience of King Carneria ….

I said “various”, but it’s beyond the scope of the word “various”.

However, the most memorable one is the success of Pamela and Kure.

In fact, I couldn’t get “Stardust Milk” without Pamela and Kure, and for Kerunea, I, Rir, and Prim alone might have been fine, but it might have taken some time.

Also, when I saw that destroyed village, it was great that Pamela was on my side.

Pamela knows when I used to be called “Black Despair”.

If it weren’t for Pamela, I would be the same as at that time.

“Chaaaaaaaaaaaaa! !! “

Screams.

I lay down on the bed in the assigned royal palace and thought about my itinerary, so I jumped up.

The next room.

There must be Pamela’s room.

I headed to the next room, looking sideways at Prim, who was exhausted beside the bed and slept soundly with Rir.

Pamela is a precious “Elementaler”.

Far from being able to communicate with spirits, there are only a few people in the world who can contract with them.

It wouldn’t be strange for someone to hear her rumors and try to kidnap her.

“Pamela !!”

I hold the cannon sword and open the door.

“Chaaaaaaaaaa! What’s this !! It’s amazing !! My skin suddenly became plump. It’s a royal palace to have such amenities for free. It’s not a high-class perfume …. I wonder if it’s really okay to take it home. I want it! I really want it! If I go to my inn, I think more female customers will come to “Estrona”. Before that, I had to get rid of the ugly men — what? Zelet, what was it? “

Pamela turned her face, glossy with lotion, toward me.

While asking “what?” she pushed the high-class perfume she had.

Apparently it was a misery.

If I think about it, I’ll be more certain if I’m in Estrona, where the draft is terrible, rather than aiming at Pamela in the hard guards of the royal palace.

“Zeret, right now you just made a fool of ‘Estrona’ , right?”

this guy, was she a telepathic messenger?

“You have a face that says so”

“What kind of face is it?”

I shook my head.

“I’m the landlord. I’ll know right away.”

“Then, please understand my feelings that came in a hurry when I heard my childhood friend’s scream.”

“Oh? I’m sorry. Did you rush in with anxiety?”

“…………”

Pamela laughed when I glanced at her.

“I’m sorry. Because it can’t be helped. This is a place where princesses can stay. As a girl, it’s inevitable that the tension will rise.”

Bed with canopy. There are several dresses with TPO in the closet. Now, the mirror of the dresser on which Pamela is sitting is beautiful, and if you open the drawer, you will find luxury cheeks and so on.

The beds and sheets are clean, which is a difference from “Estrona”.

All of them are far from ordinary people.

Speaking of the world in the hero tan, it certainly is.

“Are you a princess … In that case, you are the one who is kidnapped by the dragon and trapped in an underground cave.”

“It’s okay. There’s a prince who is itching to kill a strong dragon.”

Is that about me …

I won’t deny it.

“Fufufu …”

When Pamela started laughing, I was caught in it and laughed.

“” Ahahahahahaha !! “”

There were various things, but it was a very enjoyable expedition. With Rir and Prim, it’s noisy by itself, but this time it’s fun.

It was a hunt that wasn’t bad, although it sometimes reminded me of the past.

“It’s okay to frolic, but go to bed early, because tomorrow we’ll be leaving here and returning to the Kingdom of Vanahia.”

“Eh? Are we going back? Can’t we find the rest of the ingredients in the Kingdom of Carneria?”

There are a total of 5 ingredients that I have been asked to do.

First, “Stardust Milk” squeezed from Stardust Oaks. This will be the main one.

Furthermore, it is the meat of Kerunea, who was said to be the “messenger of God.”

Three ingredients are added to this.

One is a flower onion.

This is not a monster, but a demon grass. Eating it raw has a strong effect of relieving fatigue, and infusing it has various effects such as improving constipation.

It is famous as a magic grass and as an ingredient, but it is a rare magic grass that grows only in the Kingdom of Carneria.

The second is the missile carrot.

It is a D-rank magic tree, and it is a troublesome monster that shoots fruits like red carrots as shells. By the way, the word missile seems to mean “shell” in ancient language.

The last is the Bomb peony.

Like the missile carrot, it is a kind of magic tree that blooms beautiful white flowers at first glance, but when you step near it, the stem that swells in the ground explodes.

It’s easy to blow off a human foot, and it’s a magical tree that sucks the magical power contained in the blood and lives.

“Look, touch it.”

I take one out of the tool bag. I threw it towards Pamela and it fits nicely in the palm of her hand.

The outer skin is black and a little grotesque. However, the rugged epidermis is very similar to potatoes.

“Zelet, this …”

“It’s the bomb peony”

“Hi, hiiiiiii !!”

In a hurry, Pamela throws the bomb peony back to me.

“Hey! Hey! What do you do suddenly, Zelet. What if it explodes? This is the royal palace.”

“Don’t worry. I’ve removed all the “buds” that are the detectors. They won’t explode anymore.”

“I knew it because I heard it in the explanation in advance, but the impact of the bomb peony is amazing. That’s what you eat.”

“Most of the monsters are such creatures. Remember that they are desperate to live with us.”

With the spread of monster food, a little concern is that the edible monsters will forget that they are dangerous creatures in their own right.

Cows and pigs, which are usually eaten casually, are animals that are harmful to humans if they are encountered in nature.

It will never be forgotten.

“There is a bomb peony here …”

“Oh, there are others.”

Rather than an onion, I present a flower onion reminiscent of a pure white astragalus and a fruit of a missile carrot that is even redder than a carrot.

“Unknowingly!”

“Hmm? I’m sure Flower Onion was borrowed while searching for the Kerunea hideout. The missile carrot and the bomb peony were collected so that they wouldn’t be found by the Stardust Oaks children when they broke up with Pamela in the Etowafu Forest. Was there a problem? “

“…………”

Pamela holds her head.

Yeah? Did I do something strange?

“I’m sorry. I haven’t seen that kind of thing in Zelet lately, so I forgot. That’s right. From your point of view, a D-rank monster is as easy as going to a pharmacist to buy herbs.”

That’s not the case, Pamela.

You need money to buy herbs at a pharmacist. It’s more expensive than a bit of a rush lunch, but it’s a lot easier than making that money.

“But that’s right. Then, this is the end of the trip.”

“Oh. You helped me, Pamela.”

“It’s not my power, but the Kure.”

“I’m listening because Kure is what you say as a contractor. It’s actually Pamela’s power. It’s time to get confident.”

“If a former S-class hunter says that’s right. Thank you, Zelet. I think I can do more in the future.”

“That’s it”

“Huh?”

“I’m glad Pamela was by my side at the time of the settlement. When I went to the hideout and found Henderone. Maybe I didn’t trigger that Marquis because you were there.”

“Well, Zelet … You admire me today. It’s kind of embarrassing, or even unpleasant.”

“I don’t feel bad.”

“Ahaha. Yeah. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”

Pamela smiles bitterly.

“One thing I can say is that without you, I might have been out of the way.”

“I understand. If everyone hears about the old days that happened to Zelet, I think they will understand the feelings of Zelet now.”

“Oh. You can’t kill. That’s because you and your teacher taught you.”

“I know that Zelet is still suffering from his childhood. I hope you’ll come to me if you’re suffering again. I’ll listen to you.”

“On top of that …. I’ve thought about it comprehensively throughout this trip.”

“Huh?”

Pamela and my eyes meet.

And I opened my mouth.

Without any hesitation.

“Hey, Pamela …”

Will you be my companion?
