Part 5

Town of Faltra——

Rem was in the dining hall of the inn.

It was the place where she, Diablo, and Shera had a meal that morning.

Right now, on the opposite side of Rem, sat one more female.

It was the Chief of the Magician’s Guild, Celestine Bordorel.

She wore an embroidered mantle and a long robe that perfectly accentuated her body line.

She didn’t really mind it but……

For a Human, she was big.

At the very least, she was definitely bigger than Rem.

At her back, there were two escorts today as well. Naturally, they were people different from Galak.

Celes expressed a smile where one could feel her broad-mindedness.

「I beg your pardon for having you accompany me to continue last night’s conversation.」

「……There’s no need for you to fuss over me like that. I don’t want to become an enemy of the Magician’s Guild after all.」

「For me, I wish to get along with you better, Rem-san.」

「……I don’t want to be captured by the Magician’s Guild nor be given surveillance by it.」

Very well, I shall pulverize the likes of the Demon King Krebskrem’s soul for you.

Rem thought that she would try to believe in him.

However, even if she were to tell Celes that, it probably wouldn’t work as proof.

「I had someone that I could trust take a look at the remains of where he fought.」

「……Do you mean the Man-Eating Forest.」

「Just looking at it from the report, it gave me shivers. To be able to go that far with Chemical Elemental Magic, I’ve never heard of it before.」

「Ah, customer, right now, it’s in the middle of being reserved ☆」

「A lowly Demi-human shouldn’t touch me!」

「Ouch!?」

For some reason, disputing voices could be heard. Making a loud sound, the doors of the dining hall opened.

Galak appeared.
