“…Seriously, why are you guys so careless?” (Yuki)
“I, I’m sorry, I’ll have a search party sent out right now!” (Captain)
The one snapping next to was the captain. The ones who were troubled by this situation were the SPs who were secretly following us as our escorts.
I had just parted with the captain and his wife at the hotel, but he was contacted imdiately and he rejoined our group.
Well, actually, to take one’s eyes off the subject of one’s escort, and to let them wander off…. I guess you could say that it was a huge blunder. I felt a little sorry for him.
“Do so. Notify the military stationed in the royal capital, call them in imdiately and seal off the area–”
“For now, calm down, everyone.”
Before it turned into a huge deal, I said this with a wry smile to calm everyone down.
“Shii will be fine, she’s not that weak. Besides, we’ll be able to confirm her safety soon.” (Yuki)
“! Oh, I see, you have the power to talk to monsters in the dungeon!” (Lefi)
“Oh… Your Demon Lord’s power?” (Captain)
“Well, yes. Well, keep it a secret. –Shii, can you hear ?” (Yuki)
I activated the [Far Talk] function, which I use when communicating with monsters in the dungeon.
The voice ca back imdiately.
[Ah, Master! Yes, this is Shii!]
I let out a breath of relief when I realized from the cheerful sound of her voice that they were not in danger.
“Seriously… I was so surprised when I heard you suddenly disappeared.” (Yuki)
[Hehehe, sorry!]
“What’s wrong, did you get lost?” (Yuki)
[No, you see, it seems that Sakuya wants to go sowhere! So, I thought maybe it would be better if I went along with that!]
Sakuya…?
“Okay, I’ll head your way for now. Do you know where you are?” (Yuki)
[A narrow alley!]
There were many narrow alleys in this place…
I could just fly over and check the area once, and it would fill up my [map], which was one of the dungeon’s functions. Then it would be possible to identify friend and foe.
I should be able to find them this way.
“Okay, I’ll be on my way, just wait for . If you think it’s dangerous, make sure you run away.” (Yuki)
[Yes! See you soon!]
With her cheerful voice as the last word, I disconnected the [Far Talk].
“Don’t worry, Shii and Sakuya are safe. Apparently, Sakuya wanted to go sowhere.” (Yuki)
I said, and they all looked relieved.
“See, I told you, guys. Shii is a girl who is usually out of it, but she’s not reckless, more so when she has Sakuya with her. I’m sure she has sothing in mind.” (Illuna)
“…Hmm. Recently, Shii has beco more like an older sister now that she has a younger sister and a younger brother. She’s usually laid-back, but when the ti cos, she’s dependable.” (Enne)
After Illuna and Enne’s words, the Wraith Girls nodded their heads to show their agreent.
In contrast to the adult group, the girls did not seem that worried, but I guess they trust Shii that much.
In fact, Shii might have such a cute appearance, but in terms of status, she was more capable than most people.
She may be naive and trusting, but now that she had Sakuya with her, she wouldn’t do anything reckless and would be able to use the dungeon return device to escape if the need arose.
I knew that she had matured.
I an, Shii may have been a child, but she was not so young that her parents had to watch her every step of the way. It would be alright as long as she could remain calm, and let find her.
“Well, yes… I’m sorry, I was a bit distracted. I need to get my act together.” (Captain)
“Oh, co on Lefi, I’ll leave this place to you. I’ll go find Shii, so don’t take it too seriously. –Captain, you don’t have to call in the army, but I’ll be asking permission for you to let fly instead.” (Yuki)
“Uh, yeah, okay.” (Captain)
With that, I made three pairs of wings appear on my back and flew up.
