As Shinji said, had moved from to . It is not only because of the Wolf family’s house where Shinji lives.
But also because the Wolf territory was severely damaged by the flood of monsters from . It made people and goods are now actively working for the reconstruction. In particular, the transportation of goods has been active, and merchants have been going from town to town every day.
Due to this, there is a growing demand for adventurers to work as guards in . Many merchants are concerned that there may still be strong monsters in nearby, and many are willing to hire high-level adventurers to escort them.
Though hiring a high-level adventurer requires a high cost, in the Wolf territory, the Wolf family pays a part of the cost of an escort only for the business related to reconstruction.
This policy allows merchants to travel safely, adventurers to get escort jobs, and the Wolf family to speed up the reconstruction of the territory by increasing the flow of goods. The also moved to to take a job as a merchant escort.
Now, the has risen to the rank of adventurer to the upper-intermediate rank. But, to be promoted to the upper-upper rank, they must accumulate achievements. After all, the more work one does for the people of the kingdom, the higher one’s reputation with the Adventurers’ Guild and escorting merchants is one of the best ways to earn that reputation.
The , who saved the town twice and rose through the ranks, is a special case, whose merits are to be accumulated steadily, which is the proper way to advance through the ranks of the adventuring party.
So, using the Adventurer’s Guild in as their base, the traveled around the kingdom, escorting merchants. Even when Alvin and the others were away for a month to attend a wedding, they were still active as adventurers.
Shinji is aware of their movements to some extent. He hears directly from Lila and the others through their thoughts.
But now, although they can communicate with each other without meeting in person, Shinji still visits the rented house where Lila and the other girls are staying to meet him. The reason for this is nothing but the study of magic.
”—That’s why, if we change this thing—”
”—Then, even more—”
The day after the visit to the pasture. Shinji had finished the work he was asked to do and was sitting across from Iris, discussing interpretation and ideas about the time magic circle that was spread out on the table. Next to Shinji sits Freri, who is listening to the discussion.
”Onee-chan, can you pass me the salt?”
”Here, Lili... Lilu, can you prepare the plate?”
”Yes. You two, dinner will be ready in a minute.”
With his student (Iris), who has made great strides since he first met her, surely he will be able to improve his magic. It seemed natural, and Shinji looked at Iris’s face as she cleared the table.
”...Senpai?”
”Well... You’ve become more dependable. I think I’m going to be the next one to be taught magic by you”
”...It’s all thanks to senpai, desu”
Iris looks back at him curiously and smiles.
If it weren’t for Shinji. Without his help. If he hadn’t introduced her to Lila and the others. If she hadn’t known that he was an apostle of the Goddess.
She can say with certainty that she would never have found the time magic she wanted to devote her life to research.
”I think it’s because of Iris’s hard work...”
”...No, meeting senpai was the beginning. So, from now on... Senpai is my only senpai”
Looking at Iris’s smiling head, Shinji gently stroked it with the thought that it was him who had guided her to this place.
Iris-chan is very talented in magic.
She is a magic-loving girl with lots of magic power, hard work, and inspiration.
Iris-chan is a “rainbow,” because she is a magician of the seven elements: fire, water, wind, earth, light, darkness, and time.
Next time, we’ll be back with dessert after dinner.
