The Strongest Onmyoji and the Shikigami With AI are Unparalleled in Another World ~ A Second Life Properly Enjoyed Using Artificial Intelligence ~ - Chapter 111
After finishing the tea party with the king, we returned to the inn.
We relaxed in the room until dinner time rolled around, and everyone gathered to eat together.
“How was it?”
Natalia asked as we were enjoying another luxurious meal.
“I received 30 gold coins and a fancy sword as a reward.”
The small bag contained 30 gold coins.
There’s not much else to say about it.
“A sword? That’s amazing.”
“I’ll show it to you later. If I sold it, it would fetch a high price. But there’s no way I would.”
“You can’t sell that. The king would definitely get angry.”
He wouldn’t be angry, but he’d lose trust in me.
It’s an unthinkable act.
“And sorry, but I’ve got some work. We’ll be staying for seven days.”
“Work? What kind?”
Should I tell them?
No, it’s better not to get them involved.
“It’s royal business, so it’s better if you don’t ask.”
“Ah, that’s true. Anything I can help with?”
“No, no. I’m not particularly enthusiastic about it either. So, let’s just spend these seven days together.”
“I don’t mind staying for seven days.”
It seems Natalia doesn’t have any issues.
“I’m fine with it too. I wasn’t planning on doing much work anyway, and since Clive has returned, there’s no need to rush back.”
It seems Annie doesn’t have any problems either.
“…I’m fine too. Either way, I’ll follow Yuuma. If I’m bored, I can always do some work.”
As Alice said, we could take on some work at the guild in the royal capital.
“Seven days is just perfect. It feels like a nice break.”
Lily seems happy.
“That’s right. Seven days is just perfect.”
Ten days would be too long.
Seven days feels like just the right amount of time.
“Master, should I send out Crow-chan to check for any suspicious people? While we’re at it, we could also make a map. Though I’m not sure if anyone would buy it.”
Shall we do that?
“Please do. Also, for tomorrow’s dinner, you guys can eat without me. I’ll eat out.”
“Eat out? With someone?”
Natalia asked.
“I made a promise with the guilmas.”
“With guilmas? Hmm.”
“That person is completely captivated by Master.”
AI-chan joined the conversation.
“Huh… huh? That guild master? That person is a noble, right?”
“…I can’t picture it. Chibi-mas is known for being condescending and arrogant.”
It was like that at first.
“She’s totally like a maiden now. Today, she was with Otto, an A-rank adventurer, and she completely ignored him.”
I felt sorry for him.
“Otto, that guy?”
“…He’s the genius who became A-rank at just 17.”
I didn’t realize he was that amazing.
But because of Leanne, he didn’t seem that impressive.
“You’re expanding your collection again.”
“As expected of Yuuma! But what are you going to do? It’s the guilmas of the royal capital?”
Annie and Lily join the conversation.
“What do you mean by ‘what are you going to do?'”
“Are you going to stay in the capital? That would be a problem.”
Lily shook her head.
“I’m not staying. I’m an adventurer belonging to ‘Wings of the Wind,’ and I’m your leader. A leader doesn’t do irresponsible things like that.”
“That’s true. It’s awful to invite someone and then have the leader leave after a few days.”
Annie gave me a stern look.
“That’s why I’m not staying.”
“But what will guilmas-san do?”
Lily tilted her head.
“I don’t know. Whatever happens, happens.”
“Translation: ‘She should follow me.'”
AI-chan made a mysterious translation.
“You really have no problem saying that to a noble… oh, well, I guess that’s just how Yuuma is.”
What does that even mean?
“I just don’t let things like that control my life.”
“The other day, you said, ‘It’s not that I’m following a woman, but that the women just follow me.'”
“I didn’t say it, I didn’t say it.”
Not a woman, but a person.
Pamela just said it sounded like I was talking about a woman.
“Ah, yeah… it feels that way.”
“Right? Otherwise, having 12 wives would be impossible.”
“…Good words. They really show Yuuma’s character.”
“No comment.”
Everyone had a wry smile.
“…Well, whatever. What are you all going to do for these seven days? If you’re going to work as Alice suggested, I’ll go along.”
I don’t care about the king’s request, and Otto can take care of it.
“I’ve never really worked in the royal capital before.”
“Oh, me neither. The capital is more of a place to have fun.”
“We’ve only registered, but haven’t done any work, right?”
“…Yeah, none.”
None, huh…
Or maybe it’s just too close by.
And these girls, except for Lily, are pretty quiet, so the idea of working away from home doesn’t occur to them.
“By the way, do you have enough savings to get through the winter without working?”
It’s important to check.
“Of course, I do. And I’m an apothecary, so I can still earn money in the winter.”
“…”
“Of course, I have enough.”
“…I even have enough to send to my parents.”
…
“I see…”
We all stared silently at Lily.
“I mean, I didn’t work because I went back home, and it cost money to go back, and… I also spent a bit when we came to the capital last time…”
She wasn’t around during the stampede, so she didn’t get any reward money either.
“What were you planning to do?”
“I can still hunt in the winter!”
Sounds cold…
“I could lend you some, but it’s better if you work.”
“That’s right. Let’s stick together.”
“It can’t be helped.”
“…Well, it’s not like we won’t work at all during the winter, but it’s better to have some savings.”
All of us, except for Lily, nodded in agreement.
“Thank you, everyone! You’re all such good people. I love you!”
Lily had tears of gratitude in her eyes.
“Watching her gives me a sense of déjà vu.”
Why is that?
“Master, that’s something you don’t need to remember.”
Ah, it’s that.
