Chapter 143: Magical Whistle Candy

Chapter 143: Magical Whistle Candy

I went out to the dungeon early in the morning and took the teleportation portal to Luganda.

This has become my routine these days.

I receive reports from the aide Nakaram-san, replenish the goods in the shop, have a chat with the town’s inhabitants, and then return home.

Today I was going to do the same and return to the Royal Capital, when Merle and Mira approached.

[How unusual, are you off work?]

[Unnn, I have a favor to ask you, Yuusuke-san.]

Merle brought her mouth to my ear.

[Can we use the teleportation portal? We want to visit our parents’ house for the first time in a while.]

I’ve told the existence of the portal to Merle and a few other people whom I trust.

From what I heard, Merle and Mira wanted to give the money they earned to their parents.

The postal system in this world isn’t reliable, so it’s safer to give it to them directly.

Both of them are my oldest friends in this world, and they were my comrades who joined me in the war without even considering the danger to their lives.

At that time, Michelle, Merle, Mira, Regal, and Garm directly volunteered to help me......

I was so happy that I cried.

Marco had been exiled, but he said he would go with me even if he was arrested.

Well, it was a blessing in disguise that he was officially allowed to participate in the war, and that his military merits allowed him to erase his past crimes.

As thanks, I gave Prime Minister Essel, who was helping me out behind the scenes, a new type of Mani 4WD.

And so, it was no big deal for me to bring Merle and Mira to the Royal Capital.

[Alright. If that’s the case, let’s leave right away.]

[While we’re at it, show us your mansion in the Royal Capital.]

[Mansion? I just have my usual stand-alone house over there though.]

[Huh? Yuusuke-san is already a Count. Why is your house so shabby?]

[Oi, don’t call my place shabby, that’s just rude. Besides, it’s just the right size for me.]

[Ehhh, here I thought I’m gonna see a gorgeous room.] Findd new stories at novelhall.com

[Now, now, that’s just like Yuusuke-san, isn’t it?]

With Mira mediating on this matter, we set out together.

When I came back from the Royal Capital’s Dungeon, I saw a bunch of kids hanging out in the storefront even though it was still early afternoon.

Thinking about it again, today’s a rest day for school.

I guess some children with free time on their hands had come to check if the store was open yet.

[Ah, Yahagi-san is back!]

Kurtz, a regular customer, was the first to spot me.

[Hey, Kurtz. Yesterday was your first day of practicals, wasn’t it? How did it go?]

[Well, we somehow managed. Thanks to the dagashi, we got through a lot of situations.]

Kurtz also defeated a Slime and a Giant Spider.

Neither of those is a strong monster, but it doesn’t change the fact that facing them is dangerous.

I could see a sense of confidence in the faces of Kurtz’s group after completing their first battle.

[By the way, Yahagi-san, who are these people? Are they Yahagi-san’s girlfriends?]

[I see.]

[Other than that though, not only can it be used to call monsters, but also to lure them into traps.]

It would be beneficial for Kurtz’s group to hear advice directly from an active adventurer.

The three were listening intently to Mira and Merle’s advice.

Looking at them like this, Mira and Merle sure have grown.

[By the way, what will happen if we blow the magical whistle candy here? Will the monsters come out of the dungeon.]

[As expected, there’s no way that’s gonna happen. Not like I’ve tried it before though.]

[Then, I’ll give it a try.]

Kurtz quickly popped the magical whistle candy he had purchased into his mouth and blew in it.

Thereupon, the door in the back opened.

[Yuusuke, you called?]

It was Michelle who came out.

[Ugyehh, the Curse Witch!?]

Oi! Ah, no, that’s certainly her title but......

Well, Kurtz and the others are quite scared of Michelle, who has left behind many legends.

Even though she was so cute......

[This is bad...... I just blew it a bit and the Last Boss appeared. If I use something like this in the dungeon......]

Seeing Kurtz’s group trembling from fright, Merle calmed them down.

[Don’t worry, there’s nothing as dreadful as her in the dungeon.]

Seems like Merle’s got the same opinion as them.

[What about me?]

Michelle looked around.

[It’s nothing. I was just explaining to everyone again that Michelle is my fiancee.]

Michelle immediately smiled.

[Is that so? Everyone please take your time and enjoy your shopping. I’m going to go back to making lunch. Merle and Mira, you come eat with us too.]

Humming a tune, Michelle withdrew to the back.

[Fuuu...... The world’s equilibrium has been saved yet again......]

You’re overreacting, Merle.

Anyhow, paying close attention to the back of my home, Kurtz and the others quickly finished their shopping.

[We’re off to the dungeon then!]

[Don’t let your guard down over there, okay?]

[We know that!]

Gort and Kikka nodded to us.

[Don’t worry, we know what we should do.]

[I’m with them, so I won’t let them do anything dangerous.]

Kurtz is bold, Gort is calm, and Kikka is cautious, the three of them make a balanced combination.

[Be careful.]

I walked them off to the storefront.
