Part 5

The next day──

Diablo’s group had lunch at 《Relief・Twilight Store》.

Since Alicia had State Knight work to do, she was gone since morning.

Rem left her seat.

「……This afternoon, I will be going to the Magician’s Guild. Since Celes has been looking after me after all, I had best make a report to her.」

「That certainly is true.」

「……Since I’m anxious about taking Krem along, I will go alone.」

「I shall allow it. Return by evening.」

「Yes.」

Shera waved her hand.

「Have a safe tri～p, and say hi to Celes-sama for me.」

Krem ate a biscuit and having no concerns. Is what he thought but──

She held out a single biscuit.

「I do not know where you are going, but if you get hungry, you should eat this -noda!」

After lunch, in the dining hall that had no other customers, Shera taught Krem a song.

He didn’t know what kind of songs this world had, but they were the so-called nursery rhymes. For some reason, they were all songs about food.

Shera pointed at the entrance.

「Sylvie-san!」

It was a girl who was wearing clothes that had excessively too little cloth. Only her chest and her waist were concealed.

Her red hair went down to shoulder length.

She was of a race called Grasswalkers, so she had rabbit ears on her head, as well as a round tail. And then, no matter how old she became, she would not change from her outward appearance of a child.

Sylvie worked as Faltra City’s Adventurer Guild’s Guildmaster. That should be a good indication of her age.

However, she displayed innocent behavior that suited her childish outward appearance.

She energetically waved her arms.

「Hey, Diablo-san! Everyone else too, how ya doin’!」

Subtly, Sylvie’s voice was chilly.

Conversely, with an atmosphere that had warmth, she called out to Krem.

「If there’s anything that you are troubled about, go ahead and consult me as well, okay? Do you know where the Adventurer’s Guild is?」

「Fumu, so you wish to serve Maou as well. So there are some among the Races that understand.」

「Maou?」

「I shall let you have this!」

Krem self-importantly stuck out her chest, and thrust her hand out.

What she held out, was a biscuit.

Going “ahh”, Sylvie made a wry smile.

「She really is a child of Diablo-san’s group. Thank you.」

She accepted it and tossed it into her mouth.

「Could this be from 《Peter》? It sure is deliciousー.」
