Book 10: Chapter 29: Hero’s Status and Prayer
By the way, is that Akaris pet? Or is it a familiar?
Eliza stared at Tet, who was still being hugged by Akari, while asking her.
Ah, yes. Shes my familiar
Tet!
Eh!?
Tet introduced herself, shocking Eliza.
There were monsters that could speak in this world, and they could also be tamed, but only a few managed to achieve such a feat.
It would be possible to form telepathic communication between the tamer and the tamed monsters, but it would be impossible to speak to other people.
A-Amazing. For you to have a familiar that can talk Akari, are you a high level tamer?
Tamer?
Akari knew that theres a job called Tamer in the Isekai world, but she didnt have an inkling about her own occupation.
A-Ahm, Eliza. How do you check your own occupation?
Y-You dont know!?
...Im sorry. I dont know.
Well, its not something you have to apologize for, Akari Just say [Status Open].
S-Status Open.
Akari chanted, and a transparent board floated in front of her.
Status
Name: Akari
Species: Human
Protection: Protection from the Goddess of the Other World
Occupation: Hero (Level 300)
!?
Akari shut the status board in a fluster when she saw the word HJero.
It wasnt such a big deal that she was a hero, but she got the feeling that it wasnt something Eliza should see.
Oh, was there something weird written on the board?
Akari was obviously hiding something, but Eliza was still calm.
You dont have to be worried about it. People around you wont see your status board unless you intentionally let them see.
I-Is that so?
Yes. Besides, our Guild has been really short of people for a long time now, so we accept people even if they have a bit of a problem. Its just that it will be a different story if Akari is cursed with something that will also affect other people
I-Im not cursed!
Is that so. Then there shouldnt be any problems. Ah, just in case, can you do this?
Eliza pushed the Crystal Ball of Truth towards Eliza while so saying.
She was telling Akari to prove that she didnt have a terrible curse on her.
I am not cursed.
Tet isnt cursed, too~
Ah, dont worry about us. My husband will also be glad that such a cute girl like you visited us. Besides, that guy wanted to have a child as soon as possible Ah! F-Forget what I said just now!
Eliza, you must really love your husband.
Elizas face is beet re~d!!
Y-You shouldnt tease adults. Tet, Ill reduce your share of meat, you know?
Aw, sorry!
Tet looked so cute apologizing so honestly.
Tet can say sorry properly, what a good child.
Eliza patted Tet on the head as she opened the door.
Im home eh?
Ah! Mr. Guard!
The person who entered was no other than the inspection guard Akari met when she entered the Royal Capital.
So Elizas husband is Mr. Guard.
Yeah. Lassies here in our home, so you probably got to know Eliza, huh. That means you listened to my advice when I told you to go to the Manufacturing Guild, right?
Yes! Ive been under Elizas care.
Oh my. Honey, youre the one who told Akari to go to our guild, huh. Thanks, because of you we got another precious member.
Elizas husband was called Eric, apparently.
He formerly worked in the military, but he retired and was now working at the royal capitals checkpoint station.
Eliza prepared dinner while Eric, Akari and Tet conversed.
Dinner is ready, everyone. Lets eat.
Yes!
Smells good! Looks yummy!
Eric sat beside Eliza, and Akari sat across her.
Tet was told that she could sit on top of the table, so thats what she did.
Akari, before we start the meal, its a custom in this kingdom to pray with gratitude to a certain person. (Eliza)
Prayer?
Youre not yet a resident of this kingdom, so its up to you if you want to pray or not, either way its fine. (Eric)
I dont really know about it, so if its okay with only the gestures
Tet will also pray.
Yup. Thats fine. That person wont get mad just because of that. (Eliza)
Yeah, thats right. Then (Eric)
Eliza and Eric crossed their fingers in prayer, so Akari and Tet copied them.
Our gratitude to Halt-sama for graciously forgiving our foolish conduct, and for giving us the opportunity to once again enjoy our meal with our beloved person
Thank you.
T-Thank you.
Thanks!
Lets dig in.
Lets dig in! (All)
