「I see.
I was almost attacked by Alfie, you know?」

「Please, stop it!」

Anorn muttered as she loaded her luggage into the wyvern.

「But I thought Alfie would be okay with it… just kidding.
Hey, why is everyone walking away from me?」

「I didn’t know Onee-sama were from that side… I’ll stop calling you Onee-sama after today.」

Lisa slunk away first.
As for Alfiris, she backed away in silence.
Albert took out a piece of paper and a pen from her pocket.

「Hmm, hmm, I see.
Anorn-dono prefers women than men…and」

「Hey, Albert.
What are you writing?」

「I’m writing a document for the church.」

「You don’t have to write anything!」

「I’m under strict orders to report everything in full.」

「Guh.
You should at be flexible.」

「No, it’s my duty as a knight.」

「If I were that person, I would never to do that to you, you know? …Alfie? Where are you going?」

「Iyaa—, don’t touch me!」

「Huh! You as well?!」

「…By the way, if you touch Lisa… I will cut you.」

「What are you doing with that sword?」

There was a lot of commotion.

「(Being a member in this group isn’t so bad… but I guess I’ll have to travel with them until I get back to Mysia.
It’s nice to travel alone with Anorn, but it would be great to have more companions on the road.
Lisa is also a good girl for some reason.)」

But, at the moment when Alfiris was so deep into her feelings, Lisa kicked Alfiris towards the pursuing Anorn who was chasing her.

「…I take back that consideration! Stop, Lisa!」

「It’s not my fault you’re in a daze, you giantess.」

「You—!」

「Hahaha, Alfie, I got you!」

After that, Alfiris was caught by Anorn and tickled her until her abdominal muscles reach their limit.

＊＊＊

The group then arrived in Mysia.
The sun had not set yet and the city had not yet shown its night face.

On the way back, the progress was even faster due to the fact that Alfiris was driving the wyvern.
They seemed to have gotten the hang of going faster in a vertical line, and Miranda, who was holding the reins of the wyvern behind her, was almost scared out of her wits.
She finished her meal easily on top of the wyvern, and it would have taken less than three minutes.
It was an amazingly fast pace.

To everyone’s surprise, Alfiris was communicating with the wyvern, the wyvern with the「Ku?」and 「Kukua!」, she was imitating the sound which the wyvern is making.
The people around her couldn’t understand what they were doing.

Then, Anorn suggested that they should have a「victory celebration for tonight」, so they decided to have dinner together.

「Then Lisa will go home.
I’ll be back here in seventh bell in the evening.」

「I’m going to report to Sister Millie foremost.」

Once Lisa and Albert had left, Alfiris and Anorn had nothing to do.

「What shall we do, Anorn?」

「…」

「Anorn?」

「……」

「Ano… Miranda?」

「What is it~?」

Anorn, but, Miranda looks back at her with a very nice smile.

「You should call me by my real name!」

「But I’ve been calling you by your real name since days ago.
But it’s still confusing.」

「Muh—.
Well, maybe you’re right.
I’m responsible for it too, so I’ll spare you for the embarrassing punishment game.」

「(And you’re still going for it…)」

Alfiris is somewhat stunned.
Miranda looks at her with concern.

「So, Alfie.
Is your right hand alright?」

「…Did you know?」

「I’m sure everyone noticed.
You’re clearly protecting your right hand.
It must been the spell…」

「Yeah, I think it was a reaction.
I might be able to handle daily life, but I might not be able to wield a sword for a least two or three days.」

「That’s quite painful.
If that’s the case when you’re traveling, you’re in a lot of danger, and you really shouldn’t use the spell mark for anything.
You should consult with me before using it.」

「Thank you… umm, Miranda?」

「Hmm! You’re quite honest!」

Miranda smiles at her.
Not wanting to worry Miranda, Alfiris decided to keep quiet about the fact of erosion of the spell had progressed a bit.

「So, what do we now? Miranda.」

「Let’s find a place to make some noise.
We can’t go to the guild after all.」

「You’re more considerate than I what thought, you know?」

「It’s not, I’d rather see how everyone reacts to us going.
Rather, I feel more sorry for Lisa.
She’s going to have to live in this town with the mess I made.」

「I see.
So… Lisa’s not coming with us, is she?」

「I agree with you as well.
But she’s stubborn and I don’t think she’ll once we start reasoning with her.」

「It sounds like there’s something going on, but can’t we help her?」

「That’s the thing.
At least, Lisa has to say something to us.
I think it would be counterproductive to ask her about it.
She’s pretty stubborn and proud girl.」

While pondering, the two of them came up with a plan, but there was nothing they could do when they didn’t know what was the problem in the first place.

「Let’s find a place to eat first.
Alfie, do you any idea where we can go?」

「There’s coming to my mouth yet… Ahh! There’s one!」

When they arrived in Mysis, Alfiris remembered the beastman who approached her.
Alfiris decided to go and check it out.

＊＊＊

「You’re back, Albert.」

「Yes, I have returned, Miliazar-sama.」

This was Miliazar’s inn.
Miliazar is busily writing a letter.

「How it’d go?」

「You’ve been watching them with your own eyes, haven’t you?」

「To some extent, yes.
What I want to ask you is, what do you think of Alfiris? That’s what I want to know.」

「Me? Then…」

Albert asked her back, but it seemed to Miliazar that it sounded suspicious.

「Don’t be silly.
Why do you think I attached a bunch of slow-moving people to an Archfiend that you alone can defeat.
It’s because that I want to witness if you can kill Alfiris when she gets out of control.」

「I don’t know if I could have slained the Archfiend by myself.」

「Such humbleness.
The members of the investigation team are not stupid.
I’ve received their reports, and I’m sure you’ve heard at least the outline.
In fact, you received the first report from the other side as well, right? If you’re the one who took Alfiris and the others to defeat them, then you must have thought that you could manage on your own.
It is a fact that defeating the Archfiend is the top priority, no matter what.」

「That’s for sure.
I just didn’t mean for Lady Miranda to get hurt.」

Albert lowered his eyes.
Miliazar hesitated for a moment, wondering what to say to him.

「Don’t worry about it.
It is true that this was your first battle against an Archfiend.
Not everything will go well.」

「Yes.
But, that’s not good enough for me.
Besides, you don’t care about Miranda-sama, do you?」

「I’m curious about that… I’m not in a position to be concerned to the sisters.
Well, if you have any points to reflect on, make use of them next time.
But we’ll get back to it.
What do you think of Alfiris in your point of view?」

Miliazar’s eyes were sharp.
She seemed to be asking seriously.

「…If I do it now, I will not be defeated.
However, if Alfiris-dono comes to kill me with all her might, I will only be in a predicament.」

「Is that all to it?」

「It’s swords and magic, after all.
I use a little magic myself, but her magic is extraordinary.
Didn’t you seen it, Master?」

「No, it was when Alfiris released the power of the spell that her thoughts were disturbed.
I did see how she defeated it.」

「It was a triple blow of magic that Archfiend had no time to resist.
I’m not an expert magic, but I think she used a very high level of magic.」

「Hmm, well, Aldreus seals it with a spell, so I guess she’ll do that much.
So, what do you think if I were to fight Alfiris?」

Miriazar asked rather nastily.
But Albert thought about it seriously, and…

「Alfiris-dono may be stronger than you.」

「What?」

Miliazar was surprised by this reply.
Inwardly, Miliazar thought that this might be a possibility, but she was nervous when others told her that.

「What makes you think that?」

「When she twisted the Archfiend, she still didn’t seem to be at full strength.
If she goes on a rampage without thinking about her surroundings or her own future, it may be questionable whether there is anyone in the world who can stop her alone.
She might lose her life in return.」

「I can’t believe I let you tell me that much…」

「It’s not normal, especially with that killing power.
I’ve had Miliazar-sama show me her full power in the past, and though you may have more experience in combat, she may have more output.
To be honest, I felt my legs tremble at Alfiris-dono releasing the spell mark.」

「I see.」

Miliazar crossed her arms involuntarily, muttering, and began to think.

「(Why someone with that much power was left unnoticed from birth… I may need to look into this in detail.
It’s a shame, but I’ll need to meet with the head of the Church of Magic.)」

Miliazar thought of the face of the representative of the Church of Magic.
He was not a person she liked, but it was good to know that he was not an enemy of his own.
Miliazar thinks that the matter of Alfiris might develop into a problem that cannot be left unattended.
Or maybe it was already too late.

「Miliazar-sama, will she be fine being left alone?」

「What? Are you thinking it would be better to cut her down?」

「I personally don’t like it, Miliazar-sama.
But, your orders take precedence over everything else.」

「That’s what you said with such a disapproving look on your face.
I’m not giving you such an absurd order like that.
I just thought it was better to be prepared for anything.
For example, fighting Miranda and Alfiris.」

「That may be so, but…」

Miliazar grins at Albert, who obeys with his mouth but puts on a rather dissatisfied face.
Apparently, Albert also likes Alfiris.

「There’s something I need to get to before you get too excited.
Follow me.」

「As you wish.」

Miliazar walked out with Albert.
