Oh, Imperial Capital………… I ca back alive!

A sophisticated city, different from Toizant. The crowds of people and the horse-drawn carriages made feel a strong sense of nostalgia. My hotown is not the Imperial Capital, but I guess that ans I also beca attached to this city.

Perhaps it was because we had a lot of trouble on the way there, but on the way back, the escort was done with a large number of people. The power of numbers is truly great when I think about the fact that we were able to finish without a hitch.

After escorting up to the Imperial Castle, I was released and I stretched widely. Now I am free.

“Yup, that was easier than usual……” (Cry)

“Are you, serious, desu!” (Kruz)

Kruz pulled her cheek while saying that. And Kilknight was silent.

I always have a rough ti with escort-type missions. This ti, there was a lot going on as well, but my burden was minimal.

In a nutshell, all I did was… Dumping everything to soone else. All I needed was a friend to rely on. With that in mind, I guess you could say that it was easy.

On top of that, I got a carpet and a smartphone. Rare Relics are a once in a lifeti thing, and the rewards are wonderful for the effort I put in.

I *panpan* slapped the shoulder of the carpet standing next to , and it chopped back. Was it too extravagant to think that it was ti for it to let hop on and fly on it?

I went to the Clan House and then parted ways with Kruz, who had been very helpful to .

In terms of combat, in terms of emotional support, and in terms of recharging my Relics, she is the MVP.

“Hmph…… It was a complete disaster, desu. Don’t call that easily again, Yowaningen.” (Kruz)

“…… You don’t want to celebrate together?” (Cry)

“I have to report to Lapis, desu. Moreover, there are only Yowaningen, Kilknight and for the celebration, desu! What the hell was this guy, desu? He barely spoke at all, desu!” (Kruz)

Even though we were talking about him, Kilknight, who was in a bright red armor, remained standing upright next to . He would probably stay like this until Sytry ca for him.

“Who knows………… But he was reliable, wasn’t he?” (Cry)

“H-How could you say sothing like that, Yowaningen. I’m honestly impressed, desu.” (Kruz)

“It is better than bringing another mber of the “Fox (Kitsune)”, right?” (Cry)

“…………” (Kruz)

Although it had been useless in an ergency, it seed to have a chanism to transmit what you say to Sytry and the others, so if it hadn’t been for Kilknight, I wouldn’t have been able to call Sytry and the others in such a tily manner.

The armor of the taciturn Kilknight has been *banban* hit everywhere. The fact that he was quiet wasn’t a disadvantage in terms of protection. He was not as much of a hindrance as I thought he would be, and I could take him around all the ti. Although, when I do that, I have to rember to give it so raw at for his al……

Kilknight *pikuri* shivers in response to my friendly attitude.

As if he was a machine, he moved his arm in a powerful motion, and slowly removed his armor.

Kruz’s eyes widened and she froze up. What appeared――Was not his face, but a paper bag with two holes in it.

“Kilkil……” (Kilknight)

After saying a few words as if it was a greeting, Kilknight went straight into the Clan House in silence. The Hunters of 《First Step (Ashiato)》 who were used to fighting various kinds of Monsters were all giving way for him.

Kilknight went up the stairs and disappeared (presumably) into Sytry’s lab on the third floor.

“………… So, actually, it was Kilkill-kun.” (Cry)

Seriouslyyyyy…… Co to think of it, Sytry seems to have ntioned that……

Maybe because of his usual strong impactful appearance, it was really hard to tell that? it was him when he is in full body armor as it hid all his features.

When I was truly impressed, Kruz said quietly.

“………… If I wasn’t so kind, I would have punched you, desu.” (Kruz)

“As expected of Kruz, you are so kind!” (Cry)

“You are definitely making fun of , aren’t you, desu?” (Kruz)

Kruz pushed a little. And so my escort journey ca to an end.

§

For the first ti in a long ti, I took off my 『Perfect Vacation』 and slumped into the comfortable chair in the Clan Master’s office in my usual outfit.

I felt like I was finally able to be comfortable.

『Perfect Vacation』 is a very useful Relic, but it has the drawback of being too comfortable. Rumor has it that so other 『Perfect Vacation』 enthusiasts have worn it so much that they can no longer wear any other clothes. I guess I am okay with it because there is not much difference between when I am normal and when I am comfortable. Because, you know, I am not working that much.

After all, *daradara* lazing around in this place suits the most.

Eva makes tea as usual. Everyday life is the best. I am the worst for having her do all the clan-related work and even having her make tea for .

And like every ti, Eva verified what happened.

“Cry-san. How did your escort request go? I have heard rumors about it……” (Eva)

“Around thirty points, I will say. Was everything okay on your side?” (Cry)

“There were no problems at all. The only thing that changed is that――《Torch Knights (Touka Kish-Dan)》 have returned from their expedition. They have already left, though.” (Eva)

“Heh, too bad, we just missed each other.” (Cry)

“They are rcenaries…… Most of them were also absent, but Touka-san, their Leader was also disappointed about it.” (Eva)
