The Strongest Onmyoji and the Shikigami With AI are Unparalleled in Another World ~ A Second Life Properly Enjoyed Using Artificial Intelligence ~ - Chapter 16

“To your house? You’re saying something that would be extremely inappropriate in the world I was from.”

“…Ah, when I said ‘my house,’ I didn’t mean my room. Actually, we belong to a clan, and we stay at the clan dormitory. There are guest rooms there, and it’s fine for you to stay for a night or two.”

So, Alice and Natalia are staying in a mansion together?

“Sorry. What’s a clan?”

“…Think of a clan as a collection of parties. In addition to our party, there’s another party under the clan leader.”

Hmm, hmm.

I see, more or less.

“Do I need to get permission from the clan leader?”

“…It’s fine for a night or two.”

Hmm…

“AI-chan, what do you think?”

“I think it’s better to rely on their kindness than to borrow money.”

Yeah, that’s true.

“Natalia, what about you?”

“Yeah, I think it’s a good idea. There are empty rooms, and it’s fine with me.”

Natalia nodded with a smile.

“Then, I’ll take you up on your offer. I’ll definitely repay this favor.”

“…It’s fine. We should help each other when we’re in trouble.”

Alice is kind, too.

I had ended up in an unfamiliar world, but it seemed like I was blessed with good connections.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll do as you suggested and take the job tomorrow.”

Now that I had a place to stay for the night, I turned to Pamela.

“Alright, I’ll look for a suitable job for you.”

“Thanks.”

After asking Pamela about work, I left the guild with Natalia and Alice.

♦ ♦ Pamela PoV ♦ ♦

Natalia, Alice, and Yuuma the reincarnate, along with the mysterious AI-chan (?), left the guild.

I saw them off from the reception desk, then stood up and headed towards the back office, knocking on the door.

“Are you okay, Jeffrey-san?”

‘Yeah…’

I heard a lifeless reply from inside the room, so I opened the door and stepped in.

Inside, Jeffrey was sitting at his desk, staring blankly at a talisman.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing much. An expensive talisman is broken.”

So, it’s broken…

“It was a powerful fire spell.”

“Yeah… I’m glad I didn’t do the mock battle, thanks to my long years of experience.”

I thought so, but Jeffrey had looked incredibly uncool earlier.

“That talisman, is it a C-rank one?”

“This is a B-rank talisman. It costs 50 gold coins.”

A B-rank talisman…

“That’s incredible…”

“Yeah… It’s incredible that the fire wasn’t even at full power.”

That’s what I had felt.

Listening to AI-chan’s conversation, it was clear that he was controlling and suppressing the fire.

“He could change the fire at will. Not only the firepower but also his control over it was impressive.”

“Yeah. He’s a monster whose true capabilities are unknown. Natalia and Alice went on a bandit hunt, didn’t they?”

“Yes.”

“Dispatch an appraiser to them. It was probably that guy who did it.”

I thought so too.

It was probably as I expected, since they were easily lending money.

“Understood.”

“What happened after?”

“I made Yuuma-san a D-rank adventurer. After that, they asked me to introduce them to a job, but since it’s already this late, it will be tomorrow. Yuuma-san and AI-chan will be staying at Natalia’s clan dormitory, it seems.”

“I see… So, they’re already making their move.”

Well, that’s to be expected.

They wouldn’t just let such a powerful sorcerer go.

“They seem to have acted before anyone else could take him.”

“Probably. The adventurers who were training in the underground area disappeared in an instant.”

The other adventurers who had been training underground were astounded by Yuuma’s fire magic and immediately left.

They had probably gone to report to their party leaders or clan leaders.

“What do you think we should do?”

“For now, they’ll probably come to this guild, right?”

“Yes. They said they’ll come tomorrow.”

“Then, it’s fine. As long as they don’t go to a guild in another district, it’s not a problem.”

This town is divided into four districts, each with its own guild.

Of course, they don’t get along with each other.

“It’s hard to predict the actions of people from another world. I hope they don’t transfer to another guild…”

Their culture and way of thinking are different from ours, so it’s difficult to know what might offend them.

“What kind of person is he?”

“In his previous life, he was probably either from a high-class background or a person of power. His speech, attitude, and behavior are that of a noble.”

In other words, he’s arrogant.

“Yeah, that’s the impression I got too. Anything else?”

Umm…

“He doesn’t seem to remember much, but he apparently had twelve wives.”

“…Seriously? That’s amazing.”

Even Jeffrey was taken aback.

“Royalty, perhaps?”

“Who knows. Is he a womanizer?”

“I don’t know. He seemed like an ordinary young man to me. His speech was a bit odd, but he gave a serious impression.”

I wouldn’t say he’s normal, but he doesn’t seem like a careless person who would seduce women that much.

“Well, that’s often the case with those kinds of people… No, never mind. Anyway, make sure you treat him well. Whatever you do, don’t let him go to another guild.”

“Understood.”

“Also, inform the clan leader of the Wind Wings.”

The Wind Wings was the clan that Natalia and the others belonged to.

“Layla?”

“Yeah. I don’t know what kind of decision she’ll make, but make sure she’s aware of the situation.”

“Understood.”

I don’t like that woman…
