Fuwafuwa mofumofu strategy meeting

***---***

I went out after having dinner in the garrison's cafeteria with the chairman and Manon.

It was already dark and the stars were twinkling in the sky.

I lit a portable light magic tool and invited the two of them to the edge of the training ground away from the dormitory.

If it's here, no one will come at this time, so we should be able to talk slowly.

"Kento, how far are you going?"

"Yeah, is this area okay?"

The city of Volzard was surrounded by ramparts, so the wind didn't blow very strongly, but when the sun went down, it got cold and even the slightest breeze felt cold.

"Kent, isn't it warmer in the dining room?"

"Don't worry, you'll get warm soon."

"Me and Kento, wrapped in a blanket together ..."

"Eh ... Yuika, did you say something?"

"Nothing ..."

I wonder what it is, the chairman is in a bad mood.

"First of all, I'll introduce you to my new genus."

"Eh, Kent's new genus?"

"Kento, did you receive another dangerous request?"

"Now, now, let's talk about that later, it's cold, so I'll introduce you in a moment. It's a little big, but don't be surprised."

The chairman and Manon looked at each other and tilted their heads.

"Then, Nero, will you come out?"

When I put out a shield of darkness and raised the light magic tool so that we could see it clearly, Nero suddenly appeared from the darkness.

"Nya, did you call me nya? Goshujin-sama."

"Eeeehhhh ..."

The surprised chairman and Manon hid behind me.

"K, Kento, th, th, this is ..."

"This is Nero the undead Storm Cat, Nero, this is Yuika, and this is Manon, they're both important people to me."

"Nya, Nero nya, nice to meet you nya."

Even when Nero greeted them, they both froze.

Unlike in the daytime, its big eyes shone brightly in the dark, so it's like double the power.

"Then, Nero, can you lie down like this with your head over here?"

"Nya, this way nya?"

"Yeah, just like that. Nero, is it okay if we learn on your stomach?"

"It's okay nya."

I asked Nero to lie down with its back against the wind, and the three of us sat side by side, leaning against its stomach.

"Wow, wow, wow ... Kent, it's so 'Fuwafuwa' ..."

"Hafuuu ... Warm, soft, soon ..."

Yeah, it's such a satisfying feeling that Manon and the chairman are melting.

"I hope you won't hug me too tight nya ..."

"Got it, got it, hooooooo ... so warm ..."

In place of a blanket, Nero wrapped its thick tail around us, so it's really warm.

Nero behind me, the chairman on my right, Manon on my left, Nero's tail in front ... Paradise.

"Dangerous, it's dangerous ... I think I'm going to fall asleep."

"Hey, Kento, I want to borrow a big warehouse and sleep like this."

"I also agree with Yuika's idea."

"Hmm ... I want to do that too, but I can't do it without Beatrice, and Mart-tachi are here ... Everyone, come out."

"Wafu, we sleep together."

"Pat me, Goshujin-sama, pat me."

The three of us decided to hold one each so that Mart and the others wouldn't burn with jealousy.

"Fuwaa, 'Fuwafuwa' and 'Mofumofu' ... It's the best ..."

"Hey, Kento, didn't you have something to talk about?"

"Ah, that's right, I almost forgot about it and fell asleep. Actually ..."

I told them how I was summoned by Donovan-san to meet with the Guild Master of Headquarters, and told them that I had been promoted to S-rank.

"It's amazing, Kent, there should only be a handful of S-rank adventurers in Landshelt."

"Congratulations, I'm not surprised. If it's Kento, it's natural."

"Mmm ... Yuika doesn't know how amazing an S-rank adventurer is."

"Oh, I wouldn't be surprised even if I knew about it. Kento doesn't even fall within the S-rank frame ... Right, Kento."

"I, I too think Kent is above S-rank!"

Whew, I'm so happy to be in close contact with them from both sides ...

This is a privilege of an S-rank, isn't it?

"Hey, Kento, what kind of person is the Guild Master of Headquarters?"

"That's right, the Guild Master of Headquarters, Reese-san, is a dark elf."

"Kent, in fairy tales, dark elves are said to be very long-lived and use dark magic, but ..."

"Yeah, I heard that Reese-san is also dark attribute and over 250 years old."

"Two hundred and fifty years old ... Is that true?"

"Yeah, that's what she told me, but she looks like she's in her late twenties."

Both of them were very impressed when I told them about Reese-san's background.

"Amazing, I respect her for changing the structure of the world with just one person."

"I also learned about the liberation of slaves at school, but I didn't know that Reese-san was the center of that."

"Somehow, she feels like a representative of women who can do it ..."

"Yes, I would like to meet her too ..."

Both the chairman and Manon seemed to have respect for Reese-san as a woman.

"That person, Reese-san, seems to know how to bring a living person into the shadow world."

"Eeehhh ... Then, Kento, will you be able to bring everyone back to Japan?"

"No, I haven't been taught how to do that yet."

The chairman was happy that I had found a way to return to Japan, but when she heard that I hadn't learned how to do it yet, she looked dissatisfied.

"Why? Why didn't she tell you?"

"Umm ... I was presented with a condition in exchange for teaching me."

"An exchange condition? Could it be that you were asked to do a dangerous request?"

"Hmm ... Dangerous, is it?"

"What kind of request is it?"

Both the chairman and Manon were interested, but also worried.

"That is. I was asked to be Reese-san's companion."

"Eh, her companion ... Eeeehhhh!"

"Ke, Kent, no way ..."

"I haven't replied yet ... but I'm thinking of refusing."

"Haaaa ... I was surprised."

"That's true ..."

Both the chairman and Manon let out a big sigh and lost their strength.

"But, if Kento marries Reese-san, she will tell you how you can get everyone to return, right?"

"According to Reese-san, there is such a method, but she doesn't know whether I can do it or not."

"I think that method is dark-attribute magic, but can Reese-san use it?"

"No, Reese-san can't use it, but I heard that there are dark elves who can use it."

"In other words, does that mean that she knows the precedures and theories?"

"Maybe ... I wonder if that's the case."

The chairman, herself, wants to go back to Japan and see her family, and she is thinking about it with a very serious expression.

"Kento, do you think you know how to do it?"

"Hmm ... I don't really know at this point. Hey, Manon, is there anyone doing that kind of research?"

"Eh, umm ... I don't think anyone is in Volzard. If anyone is, I think they would at least be in the academic city of Bakkenheim ... But I don't know if anyone is ..."

There are almost no dark elves, let alone dark elves who use dark-attribute magic, so it seems that research itself is not possible.

"However, my genus, Basten, etc., had heard stories about dark-attribute mages during his lifetime, so if we collect such rumors, we might be able to find a way to do it."

Although I said it myself, I wasn't very confident, but when I thought that the chairman would agree, she looked more serious than Manon.

"Yuika, what's wrong?"

"Hey, Kento, how long will it take until you find a way to return to Japan that way?"

"Sorry, to be honest, I have no idea when it will be. Yuika wants to go back to Japan, too."

"If you ask me if I want to go home or not, I will answer that I want to go home. But, I'm going to live in Volzard, so it's fine, but there are some kids who are a little nervous ..."

Led by Sagara-san, who works at Flavia-san's clothing store, many of the girls seem to have become accustomed to Volzard and enjoy their work.

However, on the contrary, it seems that there are also girls who are unable to get used to Volzrd, are not doing well at work, and are withdrawing.

"Several girls ask me every day if we haven't figured out how to return yet, they want to return to Japan as soon as possible, and they even asked Kento for help and ended up crying."

As I was living in the boarding house, I don't know about the situation, and the chairman seemed to be silent because she thought it would put pressure on me.

When I decided to talk to the chairman and Manon about Reese-san's proposal, I also decided to refuse.

"But, Yuika and Manon don't like having me get married to Reese-san, right?"

"I don't like it. I definitely don't like it."

"I don't like it either ... but when I hear about Yuika's friends ..."

A heavy silence fell between the three of us.

Even though polygamy is allowed in the Landshelt Republic, I don't think it's a good idea to put aside the chairman, Manon, and Beatrice and marry Reese-san, who I just met.

Then, if you ask me if it's okay if we get to know each other better, I don't think that's the case either.

[ Buhahaha, Kent-sama, why don't you get married to everyone together? ]

"Hey, Reinhardt, it's no laughing matter."

[ Buhahaha, no, sorry, sorry, but Kent-sama, think about it. Would the Guild Master of Headquarters turn an S-rank adventurer into an enemy? ]

"Eh, that's ... she won't?"

[ Of course not. For the organization called the guild, turning Kent-sama into an enemy brings a great disadvantage. ]

"So, if I ask ..."

"Kento, what's wrong?"

"Yeah, Reinhardt says if it's the Guild Master of Headquarters, she wouldn't turn an S-rank adventurer into an enemy."

"Ah, I see. Manon said that there were only a few S-rank adventurers in Landshelt. Let alone making Kento your enemy, if you think about it normally, you wouldn't do it."

To be honest, I don't really understand that I'm an S-rank adventurer at all, so I don't really understand my worth.

"But, how should I say it? If you don't tell me, I'll become an enemy of the guild ... I don't think it's a good way to say it, considering our future relationship with the guild."

"That's right. We live in this world, so we want to maintain a good relationship with the guild."

"Hmm ... As expected, I'll tell her frankly that it would trouble you girls and ask for it."

"Hey, Kento, I wonder if maybe I should go with you. We're both women who were enslaved once, so I feel like she'll understand my feelings."

"That's right. It might be better to have Yuika talk to her rather than me doing so."

If she told her that we were suddenly summoned, deceived, and had slave bracelets put on, and were forced to live a terrible life in Lastock, I feel that Reese-san would sympathize with our situation.

Yeah, I'm not sure if I can avoid the proposal, but it's worth talking about.

"Kento, what are you thinking?"

"Yeah, I wonder how Reese-san will respond to our persuasion ..."

"Yes, she may be able to teach you how to bring people into the shadow space, but I have a feeling that she'll continue to demand her proposal."

"Yeah, but let's talk for now."

"By the way, Kento, what happened to Camilla's apology video?"

"Ah ... U, umm ..."

It's bad, I was so busy that I completely forgot.

Camilla's video apology, I asked the chairman to check it after it was done.

"You forgot, didn't you?"

"Uuu ... I went to the dungeon at the guild's nomination request ... I'm sorry."

"Don't you have too much work to do, Kento?"

"That's right. Hmm ... I wonder what I should do ..."

"Are you going to ask someone to manage your schedule and request deadlines?"

"I think that sounds like a secretary, but isn't that a bit too much?"

"But, you're too busy with looking for a way to return to Japan, getting involved in the internal affairs of Resenburg, being nominated by the guild ..."

"When you say it like that, that's true ..."

Regarding communication with Japan, I have no choice but to do it, but for other situations, I feel that it would be more convenient if there was someone who could collect information and manage it, and there would be fewer mistakes.

"But, who should I ask?"

"Who, why don't you ask a teacher to do it?"

"Hmm ... That's fine, but wouldn't it be better to have someone familiar with the situation here do it?"

"Oh, I see ... That might be the case."

"Speaking of which, there are some stories that cannot be made public, so it's no good unless it's someone I can trust ..."

"If you think about it like that, it's hard to hire someone ..."

"That's right. Yeah, I'll try to talk to Donovan-san tomorrow. Depending on the situation, it might be better to recruit through the guild."

Tomorrow morning, I will pick up the chairman, go to the guild with her, and ask for a meeting with Reese-san.
