Luckily, Elisa got away from me. She seemed to like the compliment.
Of course, that doesn't mean she's completely lost interest in me. She stares at me intently. I wiped my face several times to make sure there was nothing on it, but her gaze remains fixed.
"Do you have any complaints about me?"
"No, don't worry about it."
"If you keep looking at me even if you want to, I can't help but care. Besides, isn't your position in the back now? You've come too far forward"
First, I kept my composure and explained my logic point by point to her. She seemed to understand and turned her head to the side.
Is that okay now? No. But that was an illusion. Elisa only turned her gaze for a moment because of a sound somewhere.
"Rabbit."
"I see."
"Why didn't you tell your teammates that a rabbit had appeared?"
"Yes? I don't think it's necessary to tell you since it's the sound of a small animal."
"What would you have done if that was a rabbit that turned into a monster?"
Any animal with a spine can be transformed into a monster. With modifications, it is not uncommon to find species that can transform into animals such as insects or cephalopods.
So, rabbits can also turn into monsters, but… even if a small, weak animal like a rabbit were to turn into one, it wouldn't be dangerous.
"My original role was scouting."
"I decided to leave it to you."
"I didn't agree?"
"Then shouldn't you be looking somewhere else besides my face?"
"… I'm watching."
It's like talking to a child. It makes no sense. It's not like you're throwing a tantrum, what are you trying to do?
"And you didn't even put gold on your face. What do you think?"
"It's burdensome. Stop it now!"
"I hate it."
This woman is not listening. Isn't this just a way to harass me?
If you're holding a grudge because you heard something from me, then that's a little bit true. In fact, it's not really that heartbreaking. It's just that the tone is a bit harsh, but it's advice that will make you feel good. It's advice that will make you feel good.
"Hmm, I see. Okay. "
"Ugh… ."
"You're shorter than I thought. Are you 150cm?"
◦It's over %◦!"
Actually, it's 149.8cm. If you round it up, it's 150cm, so you should consider it over! Probably.
'I don't want to be born with a body like this either.'
I don't know why I'm so small. I'm big everywhere else. My fellow creatures are all huge and monstrous, but I'm the only one who's so small.
Of course, the smaller the body, the more secretive it is. There is no chance of being caught. It is probably thanks to this body that I have survived until now.
Besides, if you have a cute face… it's easy to get favors from women.
"Your skin is pretty good. You didn't do any farming, did you? Hmm, your eyes are big… and there's a mole underneath. This is also charming."
"Well… I can tolerate observation, but why are you leaving a comment about the face?"
He ended up muttering in a somewhat irritated tone. If you're going to look me over, you should be quiet. Who would take kindly to you muttering so gloomily?
Of course, I'm not as sex-sensitive as men these days. I just get annoyed.
"Observation."
"Then how about writing it in your diary? I don't think it's necessary to say it."
"Write your story in your diary? Hmm. That's more blunt than I thought."
"Yes?"
"That guy who broke his neck."
Elisa spat out those words and fell back again. For a moment, her brain could not register the words because it was so stunned.
'Is the surveillance over now?'
At least the eyes that were watching my body are gone.
"Elisa, why do you keep looking down?"
"It's more delicious than I thought."
"Huh?"
"No. I'm just thinking about nothing. How should I deal with a man who keeps confusing my mind."
"What, did you have someone you liked?"
The elf archer snickered.
"I don't like it. I just want to make you cry."
"What? Then just hit him once. Should I do it for you?"
"I don't think that'll work. I'll hit you. Clap, clap."
"Oh, really? Do your best."
"Yeah. I guess I'll have to knock it down with force soon."
… I don't think you meant that to me. Still, I'm grateful that the surveillance is gone….
"Hello?"
No, that's not true.
So all the way back to the city, I had to keep Camilla's fingers from entering my clothes.
***
We returned to the city. We had finished our work, so we thought we could rest a bit. But the warrior didn't seem to have any such intentions.
Sloan paced around the bulletin board, going back and forth like a big dog in water.
"This request looks fun too… . No! It's too far! "
The quests given by the Adventurer's Guild are like this. For simple tasks, you post them on the bulletin board in the square. The first person to complete them is given the money.
High difficulty quests require you to become a full-time adventurer. Of course, the higher the difficulty, the more money you earn.
'And to become a full-fledged adventurer, you have to complete at least three of these quests.'
I've dealt with two so far, so all I have to do is quickly deal with the remaining one.
Sloan is… looking for quests purely for curiosity purposes.
'Is that a warrior?'
Rather than a divine warrior with a lofty goal who sets out to oppose us.
It's just… . I think they fight because it's fun. It just went astray.
"Ah! This! This looks like fun?"
She tore off the request form that was stuck at the very bottom.
[A group of goblins appear in the culvert, each one costing one copper coin.]
Another goblin? And on top of that, we have to go to a dirty sewer. This is not right… .
Besides, there are a lot of jobs out there that are much more dangerous and difficult than that.
"Sloan! That's a bit… . I'd rather catch a wolf. I'd rather find a goblin that I don't even know where it is."
"It seems like a treasure hunt, so it would be fun. Let's try it!"
"You're probably the only one who sees goblins as treasures."
In fact, if you look for them, you can find them right away. Goblins are also a type of greenskin.
If they were just wandering around in the wild, I wouldn't know. If I just paid a little attention, I could find the location of the goblins that had flowed into the city.
'It's something I can just do to give Uruk Heizen a break. The question is why do I have to go to the sewer?'
No, you're taking on this ridiculous request just for fun?
If you're a warrior, wouldn't it be right to choose something a little more difficult? Something that can save a lot of people… something like that?
"I think this would be good."
But we couldn't break the warrior's stubbornness. She was the leader of the party. That's only natural.
I sighed deeply and followed her. I felt like I was going to have to go through some mental fatigue again.
"There you are! Sloan! If you want to go to the sewer, it looks like you need to prepare a few things."
"That's true."
"I also need to get some potion ingredients…. So, can I go to the market for a bit?"
"Yeah, do that."
"Okay! Okay, let's go!"
Camilla grabbed my hand and pulled me closer. No, why me?
"I need a porter. As you know, I'm not very strong."
Don't lie! I almost fell over just now!
"Is it okay for me to go? Valley too."
"Valley Doctor is important. Can I come with you?"
I tried to refuse right away, but I couldn't help but see Camilla's cold gaze.
She stared at me as if she was going to crush me, based on the overwhelming aura that came from her tall height.
If I don't follow, what will this woman do? She will touch every nook and cranny of my body.
"I'll go…."
"Go alone."
But then an unexpected person stopped Camilla. I was startled and looked in that direction.
"Huh?"
"Go alone, Camilla. You can go alone, right? And don't hold Valley's hand like that."
"Ah, this is… Elisa. I don't think you know. We're close. "
Camilla's thin, white fingers dug between his fingers. The cold sensation seeped into his bones. At the same time, the white wizard's eyes became like that.
"They even just held hands. Actually, that's not a big deal. If a man and a woman are close, they can hold hands."
"It doesn't look like we're close at all to me."
"Huh? I have no idea what that means. Valley and I even slept in the same bed."
No, if you say so!"
"You."
"Oh, no. I did sleep, but… you were next to me at that time!"
"…Don't say things that could be misunderstood. People are watching."
"I'll be careful~ Sorry, sorry! "
Camilla let go of my hand. Thankfully, her eyes were as blank as usual. Phew, thank goodness. It seems like it just passed.
"Still, I think it's true that I'm the closest to Valley among the two."
The wizard looked at Elisa and smiled slightly. In response, she frowned, showing her irritation.
"It's annoying. Seriously."
I don't know why I was so annoyed, but I was dragged away by Camilla without even knowing why.
