The Strongest Onmyoji and the Shikigami With AI are Unparalleled in Another World ~ A Second Life Properly Enjoyed Using Artificial Intelligence ~ - Chapter 127

“Hmm, where should I start explaining…?”

“What happened to my letter?”

Let’s start from there.

“I went to the guild as soon as I arrived in the royal capital and handed it over to Kenneth.”

“Kenneth… the big shot at the guild in the royal capital. The guild master’s right-hand man.”

Well, he seemed competent enough.

Leanne was trying to kill that right-hand man, though.

“And I haven’t seen that receptionist named Sonia at all.”

“Did it really have that much effect?”

Hmm, I wonder?

“I’ll explain it very concisely. The guild master of the royal capital, Leanne, took a liking to the Master and separated Sonia, who seemed like a rival. And then she followed him all the way to this town.”

That’s concise.

“Wait? The guild master? Uh, do you know her?”

Pamela asks.

“She’s the king’s niece.”

“You know her…”

“There have been various incidents, too.”

“Incidents, huh… Oh, and do you know that she’s a reincarnate? And that she’s super conscious about her age?”

Is that well-known?

“I know.”

“At first, she acted all high and mighty, but when she realized the Master’s total age was higher, her attitude changed immediately. And then her eyes turned into hearts, and she was totally smitten.”

AI-chan adds an explanation.

“Uh… I can’t imagine that.”

“I think you’d be surprised. I believe Pamela was stared at intently because she was observing someone in the same position.”

“Observing? Isn’t that more like hostility?”

Normally, it would be hostility.

“That person saw the Master’s unyielding attitude—excuse me, the Master’s absolute refusal to give in—and she broke.”

“Broke?”

“I think Leanne wanted him to stay in the royal capital.”

“Well, Yuuma is talented, after all. But is that without considering that?”

Is this something we should be discussing in front of me?

Tama-chan, come here.

Just as I thought that, Tama-chan came over.

“Good girl.”

As I patted Tama-chan, she seemed to enjoy it.

“Yeah. But it seems she realized the Master would never stay, so she followed him here. Leanne’s gift is teleportation.”

“Teleportation? Can she go anywhere? That’s an amazing skill.”

“It seems she can only go to places she’s been before. That’s likely why she teleported to Jeffrey’s office.”

She probably came here for work.

“I see… Even using that kind of power, she’s still after Yuuma… she’s serious about it.”

“She is. It’s likely she got permission from His Majesty the King as well.”

It seems she used my achievement of saving the princess.

The king did say he would take action for his family.

“Scary.”

“It’s okay. That person won’t go against the Master, so she’s not thinking of doing anything to Pamela and the others. The Master is very good at handling these things.”

“I see… So that’s why she doesn’t see them as enemies. I feel a bit relieved. Being glared at by the guild master of the royal capital would be the worst.”

Especially since she’s part of the royal family.

That would make things difficult.

“Don’t worry about that. The Master dislikes those kinds of things, so she understands very well.”

“Anyway, I get it now. I was curious why the guild master of the royal capital is here, but that explains it…”

As Pamela stared at me with a piercing look, I picked up Tama-chan and tossed her back toward Pamela.

“Nya.”

When Tama-chan landed on Pamela’s lap, she curled up right there and started to swat at Pamela with her tail.

“Alright, alright.”

Pamela, prompted, began to stroke Tama-chan’s back, and soon Tama-chan started to doze off.

“Sleeping already?”

“What a handy cat…”

She really knows how to read the room.

“She’s a good cat, isn’t she? It’s really cute.”

“Yeah.”

Pamela nodded, gently stroking Tama-chan with a happy expression.

“So, how’s the guild? Clive and the others should be back, right?”

I still haven’t met them, though.

“Yeah. They came back the other day, and I think they’re still in the western forest. Plus, other adventurers have returned too.”

“That’s great.”

“Yeah, but winter seems to be coming earlier than expected… It’s cold today, right?”

It is cold.

But the kotatsu is warm.

“It suddenly got chilly, huh?”

“Exactly. So what are Yuuma and the others going to do?”

“We’ll discuss that at dinner. I think someone isn’t feeling motivated, but then there’s Lily…”

Of course, that someone is the girl dressed for cold weather.

“Is something going on with Lily? Did she lose it in some gamble in the royal capital?”

You can tell how people view Lily…

“I won’t allow gambling as long as I’m around. It’s not that, though; she went back to her family, right? And it seems she hasn’t been working, so she’s probably short on travel funds. She asked Leanne in the royal capital for a good job, but who knows how much she saved up in just a few days.”

“Oh, speaking of which, Lily wasn’t around until recently. Plus, she has that strange hobby of collecting odd things.”

It’s true; I bought her a weird ornament in the royal capital.

I didn’t get its appeal at all, but she was happy about it.

“That’s why she might need to do a bit of work. Also, Pamela, I have a souvenir from the royal capital.”

Saying that, I looked at AI-chan, who took a box out with spatial magic and handed it to Pamela.

“Ah, thanks… Can I open it?”

“Go ahead.”

Pamela carefully unwrapped the paper and opened the box.

“A mantel clock?”

Pamela took the item out and stared at it intently.

“I found something amazing. Apparently, if you set it, it will chime at a designated time. You can wake up in the morning without being disturbed by Tama-chan. Isn’t that awesome?”

I wanted one too, but AI-chan said she would wake me up, so I decided not to buy one for myself.

Even though I’ve been sleeping in lately because it’s cold.

“R-Really? Ah, yeah, thanks!”

Pamela looked satisfied.

“Nya? Nya-nyan.”

Tama-chan lifted her head and looked up at the clock Pamela was holding.

“Tama-chan, that’s not a toy. It’s a gift from the Master to Pamela.”

“Nya.”

“That’s right. It’s not that rare of a thing.”

It was pretty expensive, though.

“Nya, nya.”

“Oh… I see…”

What are those two talking about?

“Hey, can’t you speak in human words?”

I don’t understand just “nya.”

“She’s saying you’re a lame guy for wanting to mark time together.”

Tomorrow morning, be startled by the alarm sound, you calico cat.
