I asked Guilmas of the Adventurers' Guild to be my witness and did a simple act with Gina to inform the enemy. If this works, the preparations are complete. All we have to do now is to run until the destruction of Gulli and his son. Hopefully. .......

"Sylphy, what's going on?"

After the play is over, he returns to his room and quickly asks Sylphy. Gina and the others followed me to my room and stared at me, as if they were curious about the result. The only ones who seem to be taking it easy are the spirits, except Sylphy.

"Yuta, don't be in a hurry. Those two haven't even returned to their room yet. I'll let you know when they're done talking. Make sure you explain tomorrow's plan to Gina. You've only explained it briefly."

You just got back. I thought I had managed the play, but he seemed to be in a pretty bad temper. I'll try to calm down while explaining the plan to Gina.

"Yuta, they're done talking.

As I was once again explaining the plan to everyone, I heard a long-awaited voice from Sylphy.

"Yes, sir. Sylphy, tell me what happened."

"Yes, I was wondering why you suddenly told me about your plans in front of the inn's receptionist. But since I haven't had any contact with Yuta yet, the prevailing opinion is that he can't have found out about it.

I see. I guess the fact that I hardly left my room today worked out for the best. It's true that normally you wouldn't think that they know what you're up to when you've only passed each other in the street and never talked to each other.

So what happened?

I ask him about the rest of Sylphy's story, telling it to Gina and the others.

"So, the spiritist who had called Yuta a monster started saying that we should back off if we had any suspicions about him. But the leader of the army said that if he was acting suspiciously alone, he should at least monitor him from a distance, and the leader and the genie magician had a heated argument.

He didn't call me a monster, he called Sylphy a monster. And good luck with the leader. If the cautious necromancer's opinion is taken, all my work will have been for nothing. I've already given him the healing wand up front.

"...... Who won?"

"The soldier won. Tomorrow I'll put two tails on Yuta and the other six of us will keep an eye on Gina. The two necromancers will be on Gina's side. And he's going to ask for about ten reinforcements in case there's any chance of an attack.

Ten people are within the margin of error in front of the Great Spirit.

"Reinforcements are unscheduled, but I guess that means Gina will be in charge tomorrow. If the Great Spirit isn't with us and it's just Shiva, she'll probably attack us, so please be nice to her."

"I don't feel comfortable saying hello to someone who's going to attack me. ...... Well, I'd feel safer if Sylphy would put up a wind wall, but I'm in a delicate mood. Do I have to act again?"

I was so happy that the plan was going to work that I didn't think about Gina's feelings. But I'm pretty sure I'm safe since I can't break through Sylphy's wind wall. Well, it seems that Gina is more concerned about her performance.

"You don't have to act. I'm sure she'll attack me on her own if I just go home to my parents' house like I usually do. But make sure you go through as many back alleys as possible so you'll be more vulnerable. Oh, and if you don't get attacked on the way there, say hello to your parents and return to the inn immediately."

It's best not to let them take too long, since they might try to get home.

"It's not a problem if we just go down the alley, but I don't think my dad will let me go ......."

Gina says, a little uncomfortably. That's right, that's her dad. If we just show up and tell him we're leaving soon, he's going to make a big show of disapproval.

"Well, ......, you just hang in there," she says.

I can't help it. If I show my face, it'll be even worse.

"Well, if it comes to it, I'll beat the shit out of you, but I'll handle it."

Don't say anything dangerous with a nice smile on your face.

"Well, Gina's getting stronger as her level goes up, so don't kill her, okay?"

"It's okay. It's easier to go easy on them than to act weak or feminine."

Gina smiles with a relieved expression. Gina is a beautiful woman when she doesn't talk, but she still doesn't seem to understand herself. Maybe I should buy her more clothes and accessories.

Well, she might be nervous if a guy comes on to her out of the blue, so I want to make sure she knows who she is.

"Gina. It's strange for me to say this, but Gina is very beautiful and feminine. You may not have been aware of it before, but from now on you should be careful. If you are approached by a man you don't know, don't follow him.

Compared to the time when she was wearing her brother's hand-me-downs, she is much more sophisticated, since she is dressed properly and Sarah has been working on her hair and stuff. If she didn't talk, she would be a very beautiful woman. She's just a clumsy person who doesn't know how attractive she is. 

"Ha-ha-ha, master, don't say embarrassing things out of the blue. No one would ever ask me out."

You're still a clunker. I guess the insensitive protagonist is a type like Gina. Well, Gina is definitely more likable than the male protagonist who is totally unaware of his popularity.

"...... Sarah. Please take care of Gina for me."

"Hmmm, okay."

Sara smiles gently. For a girl, Sara is very reliable. Gina, don't apologize for looking at me with a disgruntled look on your face. This time I'm definitely right.

However, it's Gina who has to work hard tomorrow. Let's get her in a good mood so we can work out the strategy for tomorrow.

*** I'm sorry about that.

"Good morning, guildmaster."

In the alleyway of the rendezvous point, Guilmouth enters with three men. I guess those three men are his men who will be witnesses with him.

"Good morning, Mr. Yuta. Did I keep you waiting?"

No, I'm not waiting for you at all. Thank you for coming. Thank you for coming. I apologize to the three of you who are with me this morning.

I'm not really waiting for that one. It was hard to find a good time to get rid of the annoying tail, and I was almost late for the meeting.

I know I was cautious because my tail had been knocked down once, but the two tailers were so far away from me that I wondered if they could see me.

Moreover, they were afraid of being eliminated, and they only moved where they could be seen. In the end, I asked Sylphy to force them out the moment they were out of sight, but I think they might have been the most troublesome enemies I've ever had.

"No, no, the recovery wand you gave me, I tried it out and it works great. Compared to that, this is nothing.

Guilmouth is in a pretty good mood. I visited him quite late last night, but he has already finished checking the performance. Well, if he is satisfied with the performance of the cane, it will do its job well.

"I'm glad you liked it. So, who are these three?"

One of you is wobbling and shaking. Hmm? A cute little deer spirit appeared from behind the trembling person ....... I see, so this person is a spiritist. And it seems to be a lower level spirit, not a floating spirit, so he might be a good spiritist.

Now I know why I am trembling. This time he summons not only Sylphy but also Dolly and If to scare the enemy spiritists. Three big spirits would scare them.

Belle and the others seem to want to play, but I've asked them not to move too much this time, so they seem to have learned well and are patient with me. I'll have to give them a lot of praise later.

Oh, that's right...let me introduce you three. This is Robson, the liaison officer in King's Landing. We thought it would be more credible if we had someone from King's Landing, so we asked him to join us since he was just here. And this is Ubaldo, who is the head of the purchasing department of the guild. The last one is the spiritualist, Licinio. I brought him here as a guard and for study.

"This is Robson. I've heard a lot about you.

"My name is Ubaldo. I'm always available for purchases, so please contact me anytime."

"............ I'm Licinio. Pleased to meet you."

Rumors or ...... not good rumors, that's for sure. But it would be more trustworthy to have someone from the headquarters, even if it is the same adventurers' guild.

I guess the department heads wanted ...... Guilmouth to have a face to face meeting. But if you compare Uncle and Marie, Marie is definitely the better choice, so give it up.

And Mr. Licinio looks pale and about to faint, as if he senses the presence of Sylphy and the others. This is usually the reaction of all but the most friendly genie-surgeons. He said he was just trying to learn, but how can he learn in a situation like this?

"Best regards."

I thank the three of them for their hospitality, and give them a brief overview of what I have planned for the rest of the day. It's almost time for Gina to get moving, so let's hurry.

**

"Yuta. Gina has left the inn. The enemy is moving too, but two of the necromancers noticed that Gina is surrounded only by Sheba, and they're in a hurry to talk to each other.

Good, good, you noticed. Now just hit me as fast as you can. Gina's dad might beat her up if she tries to hit him on the way home.

Oh, Marco and Kikka look sleepy. It's so boring to be quiet in the back alleys. Bell and the others look a little bored too.

"Yuta. They've decided to attack Gina. They've started to surround Gina, so let's get going. There's going to be one guard, so get ready for the chanting."

I knew there'd be a lookout. Chanting in front of Guilmouth and the others is embarrassing.

"Guildmaster, it's almost time to go.

"It seems that Yuta-dono can see the other party's movements."

He says something subtle and sharp.

"Ha-ha-ha, we're just making sure we have a good meeting to coordinate where we're going to be attacked and when we're going to arrive there.

It's a complete lie.

"Yuta-dono is not only strong but also careful."

Guilmouth nodded in admiration. I'm starting to feel embarrassed about lying. Oh, Sylphy is starting to move forward. Time to go.

"It's just cowardice. We're leaving now. Please follow me..."

I warn Guilmouth and start walking with Marco and Kikka. Sylphy will take care of the rest, and we should be able to arrive at the site in good time. Everything's going well.
