The Strongest Onmyoji and the Shikigami With AI are Unparalleled in Another World ~ A Second Life Properly Enjoyed Using Artificial Intelligence ~ - Chapter 213

“Ah, welcome back.”

When we returned to the dorm room via Leanne’s teleportation, Pamela was there.

Or rather, only Pamela was there.

“We’re back. Where are the others?”

“They went to get food. Tama-chan got up on the kotatsu table and started thumping with her tail.”

Telling them to serve food?

“Ah, I already told them we’d be back soon.”

AI-chan said with a smug look.

“Ah, I see.”

Satisfied with that, I let the two of them down and got into the kotatsu.

“Leanne-sama, how was the air travel?”

Pamela asked Leanne.

“Not bad.”

“You were clinging to Master the whole time though.”

“Little fox, shut it. Unlike you, I don’t have that so-called good sense of balance.”

Leanne’s body is flexible, but she can’t really exercise and doesn’t have stamina either.

Well, most of us here are magic users, so it’s not just Leanne.

As we waited like that, Natalia, Alice, Annie, and Lily brought food, and we all started eating together.

“You didn’t have to wait to eat, you know?”

It makes me happy they waited, but they must’ve been hungry.

“Hmm? Well, meals are something you eat together.”

“…That’s right.”

“It was like that at my parents’ house too.”

“I haven’t eaten alone much.”

Maybe that’s a unique trait of this clan?

Thinking that, I looked to Pamela and Leanne.

“At the dorm too, we’d eat with someone.”

“Same for me. Back in the capital, unless I was really busy, I ate with my parents.”

Seems this world’s culture is like that.

“When I was a kid, I ate alone…”

Because what I ate was different from everyone else’s.

“Master, meals are something families eat together… and in your past life, there was a dining table with your wives and children all lined up.”

That’s amazing…

It’s like a banquet every day.

“Sounds noisy…”

“Well yeah… the kids are noisy, and the moms scold them.”

When you’ve got more than 30 kids…

The women seemed to be subtly watching the others around them, but I didn’t pay it any mind and continued eating.

And then, after the meal, we took a breather.

“So? You were later than I thought, but did you make it to Lian?”

Annie, not in disembodied-head form, asked.

“Just before Lian. So we’ll walk a bit.”

“Well, that’s probably better, isn’t it? If a giant bee got too close to the town, it’d get attacked.”

It could easily be mistaken for a monster.

“Make sure Leanne gets Koma-chan, okay?”

“I know, I know. It wouldn’t look good if little Leanne had to walk while I was riding.”

Even though AI-chan and Alice, who are also tiny, walk instead of riding Koma-chan.

“So, we’re all going together tomorrow, right?”

As I asked that and looked around, everyone except Pamela nodded.

“Yuuma, Natalia, Lily, could I have a moment?”

Pamela looked at the three of us, myself included.

“What’s up?”

“Whaat?”

“Did I do something!?”

It’s okay, Lily.

She called Natalia too.

“I’m giving you these.”

Pamela said that and handed us some cards.

“Hmm? Adventurer cards?”

“Ah, it’s ranked B!”

“It really is!”

The two looked surprised and happy, so I checked mine as well—it said A-rank.

“Oh right, I became A-rank, didn’t I.”

“Yes. It hadn’t been updated, but since you’re going outside, it would be necessary, so I prepared it in a hurry.”

“It wasn’t updated?”

You should have.

“Normally it would be, but since you and the others only come to me, I figured it could wait until spring when you properly restart work…”

Since we’re close, it didn’t really matter because she knew our rank anyway.

“Fine. So with this, I’m A-rank in Lian too?”

“Yes. And this document serves as proof that your party is B-rank.”

Pamela handed over a piece of paper, so I took it and looked through it.

“Hmm… the party name field is blank?”

“That’s right. You all don’t have a party name yet. Do you have one?”

Even if you ask that…

“Can’t we use Wind Wings?”

“That’s your clan name, isn’t it?”

Well, true.

“Is it necessary? I’ve never heard the names of other parties.”

Do Clive and the others have one too?

“There aren’t many adventurers in this town who have one. A party name is required to enter the labyrinth.”

“I see…”

Maybe it’s because they need to manage it?

“It can be anything, really. The most random party name I know is ‘ABC.’”

That’s terrible.

“Hmm… AI-chan, do you have anything?”

Time for artificial intelligence to shine.

“Kisaragi.”

“That’s a family name though?”

And only mine.

“Since anything is fine, let’s just keep it simple. We’re like a family.”

“Is that okay?”

I check with the others.

“Sure.”

“…………Well, I guess it’s fine.”

“I think it sounds cool.”

“You’re the leader anyway.”

Seems like no one objects.

“Pamela, write ‘Kisaragi.’”

“Understood. Also, should I put Yuuma-san as the leader, and Natalia-san as the sub-leader?”

Pamela asks while writing “Kisaragi” on the document.

“You need even that?”

“The labyrinth is special. It’s managed by party rather than individual. There are hardly any solo adventurers in the labyrinth.”

Hmm…

“Then make it Natalia. That’s basically how it is anyway.”

“Not Annie-san?”

Everyone besides me is B-rank, but the one with the most experience and the most reliable as the sub-leader of the clan is Annie.

“I’ll pass. I’ve decided to let Yuma carry me all the way.”

“Are you sure?”

“There’s no way I’m being the sub-leader of this group.”

Why not?

“Ah… yeah, Natalia-san is probably better.”

That’s definitely not about an adventurer party.

“That’s how it is.”

“Understood. Then, I’ll do it that way… Also, AI-chan and Leanne-sama aren’t on the member list—is that okay?”

Those two, huh…

“AI-chan is a skill, and even if it’s another country, having a guild master be an adventurer would be bad.”

“Well, that’s true, but only adventurers can enter the labyrinth, you know? AI-chan can disappear, so that’s fine, but Leanne-sama won’t be able to enter.”

Hmm… I don’t think Leanne will go into the labyrinth…

No, but with teleportation…

“Pamela, register AI-chan and Leanne as adventurers. Lowest rank is fine.”

“Are you okay with that?”

Pamela checks with Leanne.

“That’s fine. It’s not like we’ll misuse it. Even if we’re found out, they won’t complain if it’s low rank.”

“Understood. I’ll make them first thing tomorrow morning and bring them.”

“Thanks.”

“No, it’s my job. Then I’ll also add the two of them to the member list.”

Pamela writes their names on the document.

“What about you?”

“Definitely not. I’m never going into the labyrinth.”

I thought so.

“Then, I’ll leave the house in your hands.”

“I’ll do that.”

“Wife move!”

Ignore, ignore.

“Also, this is the letter of introduction.”

Pamela handed over an envelope.

“Sorry for bothering you on your day off.”

“No, no. I’m free. Yuuma-san, I think you’ll be fine, but please be careful. Lian has many powerful adventurers from all over the world, and B-rank and A-rank aren’t that rare.”

Pamela stopped her work mode and gently took my hand.

“Otto, I mean, Ludgar-level, right? Not an enemy.”

“That’s right! Who do you think the Master is! Other adventurers are just food for Big Spider-chan or Big Centipede-chan!”

“Please stop with that…”

I won’t do that.
