Chapter 475: The Five with Antennae and Shells

『It's probably the time for us to head to Alessa huh?』

「Nn」

A few days after the incident. Fran's job was already gone, and Gallus and the others had decided to move on. I think it's safe to say that we've almost finished our business in the capital.

As for me, I was thinking if we could stay a little longer.

「Finally, training」

Fran is motivated. Besides, I'm curious about what's going on in the north.

In the end, we decided to head to Alessa. I heard that we had to apply for permission from the guild before entering the Plains of the Demon Wolf.

There are no penalties for entering without permission, but if we have permission, we can get support from the guild in the worst-case scenario, and complete a request for investigations and such.

In particular, the Plains of the Demon Wolf is a Grade A magical area, so it's not easy to get permission to explore it solo unless you're a rank B adventurer or higher.

Come to think of it, I've heard a similar story about the Crystal Cage near Barbra. It seems that not only were they able to receive higher level requests due to their higher rank, but also the restrictions on exploring magical areas were lifted.

「Nn」

『For the time being, let's greet the guild』

「Okay」

In case you're wondering, we received bounties and special rewards from the guild and the country. But the amount we spent on Gallus' protection request and the auction. Also, considering the amount of money that Fran donated to rebuild the orphanage and relief center, we are completely in the red. Even so, we still have about five million goldes in our pocket.

Besides, it made Fran's reputation even stronger. Fran's reputation for not only saving people with her healing power, but also for investing large sums of money to help the weak, was now beginning to be known as the Black Cat Saint.

I've heard that Fran likes the Black Lightning Princess better because it makes her seems stronger. But in the royal capital, the name "saint" has become overwhelmingly more popular. Wherever she goes, she is called a saint.

Even now, on our way to the guild, she was being approached by many people. At that time, everyone would call her 「Saintess-sama」 or 「Saintess-san」.

Well, Eliante will be begging her to stay in the royal capital. As long as Fran is here, the reputation of the Adventurer's Guild will remain high.

That state of affairs was no different in the guild. Right now, it's just the royal capital, but sooner or later, the name of the Black Cat Saints might spread to the surrounding towns. Although Fran would be unhappy about it.

「Stellia」

「Oya, what can I do for you today?」

「I'd like to speak to Eliante」

「Then you can go up yourself. If it's you, we won't have to worry」

「Nn」

It was a complete face pass already. It's not so much that her rank has risen, but that her trustworthiness in the capital has increased. Although it was highly possible that Stellia thought it was a hassle for her to act as guide for her.

『There's a sign of someone coming from Eliante's room. Maybe she has a visitor』

Shingen-kun. He looks like he's having a hard time, but hang in there!

「Eliante told me about you. She said she fought with you against a powerful enemy and saved her life. Thank you. Let me give you my gratitude」

「Wha, Robin! You're acting like a guardian!」

「She saved my friend's life. Isn't that a proper courtesy?」

「You're always so hot-blooded though!」

While saying that, Eliante's face looks not so happy. I guess there is a kind of bond that can only be shared between them.

「Th-then? What can I do for you?」

「Nn. Going to Allesa」

「Eh? You're leaving the royal capital?」

「Nn」

「Wha-wait a minute! I still have a lot of work for you to do!」

Eliante lamented, but Fran's resolve remained unchanged. It's a job that could be done by any other adventurer, and it's not like the nobles have completely stopped messing with us.

She must have understood that. Eliante nodded reluctantly with a pitiful look on her face.

「I understand then......So, when do you leave?」

「Tomorrow」

「To-tomorrow? C-can you at least stay for another weeksーー」

She was probably calculating in her head how to get Fran to complete the request before she left. But it was Robin, who had been listening to the conversation, who admonished Eliante, who was so shocked that he thought she might cling to her and stopped her.

「Eliante. Don't interfere with a warrior's departure」

「Uuh. You guys don't know how much work I do, so you can't say that!」

「We're going to stay in town for a while and take some jobs」

「Re-really? You sure about that?」

「Yeah」

「Yes, I heard that! I got your word! You won't get away with this!」

Hearing Eliante's words and actions, her friends gave her the same wry smile.

「Haah. You're the same as always huh」

「...Really」

「She never change huhー」

「You're right」

Eliante......She is a deplorable person huh. She's a woman with a good appearance but her personality is pretty bad......
