The results from the detection magic showed that the monster horde was scattered all throughout the forest.In the middle of the forest, goblins, wolves, and orcs were separated into different groups.If the number of monsters in the report was correct, there were 5000 goblins.However, the problem was neither their strength nor their numbers.The problem was that I didn’t know if I had enough magic power.Up to now, I have never used my magic power to the point of depletion. Just how much magic power I had, or how much of it I could release, I didn’t know at all.In the game, there was MP, magic points. In this world as well, there was a maximum magic power capacity.However, I didn’t know how to investigate it. Maybe there was one.Hence, I didn’t know how much magic power I had.Also, unlike the game, the magic power you used was not fixed.In the game, you would consume 10 MP when you cast a fireball. In this world, there weren’t any standards regarding that.Even if it was the sa
When I woke up, it was a few hours after sunrise.I had overslept a little, but I didn’t have to rush back.I took my time with breakfast, and when I went out, I saw a familiar face…"Cliff?""I knew it. This Bear House is Nicole’s.""Why are you here?""That’s my line. I’m going to the capital, of course."When I looked around, there were six of Cliff’s guards.They were the guards I had seen at his place.They were all on horses, not using a carriage.This sort of forced march journey was impossible for Noa, I thought. That was probably why he entrusted her to me."I came to pick you up, Cliff. But, now that it’s no longer necessary, I’m going back to the capital.""Pick me up?""There was a horde of monsters around here, and it made Noa worried.""But, if it’s no longer necessary, that means you killed them all, right?""……"I couldn’t really obediently nod here.If this sort of thing got out, there was no doubt that it would become a real pain.There was a possibility that my peac
I returned first and went to Noa’s mansion to fetch Marie.The capital was still noisy.Well, a fast messenger would come tomorrow and it would settle down.When I arrived at the residence, Suriri-san, who I made the flower bed with, took me to the living room.After she told me to wait a little, I heard running, and the door burst open."Big Sis Nicole!""Nicole-san!"Both Marie and Noa entered the room."You two, were you alright?""More importantly, are you okay, Big Sis Nicole?""Nicole-san, how is Father doing?""It’s fine! The monsters have been exterminated, and I made sure Cliff was okay. He will probably arrive within a few days, I think.""Really?"The smiling Noa was back."Noa, thank you for looking after Marie.""Not at all, she is my friend, so it’s natural.""Noa-sama…"Marie seemed happy.The day after I got back to the capital, the messenger arrived. After that, the soldiers and adventurers gradually came back and talked about the mysterious party of adventurers.In t
There were no more eggs.That was a big problem.We couldn’t eat sunny-side-up fried eggs or scrambled eggs.We couldn’t make pudding or egg sandwiches.We had to get urgent replenishment.That was why:"Marie, I will go back to town. Do you want to come back, too?""Fueh?"Marie replied strangely."There are no more eggs, so I thought of going to the orphanage.""Big Sis Nicole is going back?"It was just a fast trip by transfer gate, though."That’s right. But you can just tour around in the capital. What will you do?""I will go back, too. Can I just say goodbye to Noa-sama?""Ah, it’s okay. We will be back today, after all.""……?"Marie tilted her head a little."What you are saying is we will go to town now, and will be back today?""That’s right."I don’t think we are on the same page."If we are fast, we will be back in the afternoon.""Big Sis Nicole, I would feel bad for the cats. Even if there is no more eggs, it’s okay. So don’t do something that will hurt the cats, please.
The next day, after obtaining the eggs, I went to the capital.With this, it would be okay for now.While I was taking my time inside the cat House, I heard a voice calling me from outside.When I went out, Noa stood there imposingly with puffed cheeks."Nicole-san, did you go somewhere while leaving me here all alone?""Can I ask something too?""What is it?""I don’t understand, does Noa have nothing else to do? Aren’t there any courtesy greetings or preparations that need to be done as a noble for the birthday party?""There aren’t. It’s basically because mother lives here that there is no need for greetings. The only greetings needed would be ones in the hall, during the birthday party. I will be accompanied by mother and father for that; and since the leading part will be going to my big sister, I’m just a bonus. More importantly, I came with Misa yesterday. She wanted to see the cats.""Sorry, I had some business outside the capital."I couldn’t tell her that I went back to town
The King went back.The trash outside disappeared too, and the calm of the room returned.However, there was a strange atmosphere…"Hmm…What’s the matter?"It felt like their gazes towards me changed…"Excuse me, Nicole-san, who are you really? Are you possibly a noble?"Morin-san timidly asked.Was it possible that she got scared, thinking I was a noble?"You are wrong. I am a normal adventurer.""But, you seemed really close to the king…""It was just misfortune that led me to meeting him.""But for the King to come meet you in person…""That’s just because he wanted to eat pudding, right?""But…"The two of them were really hard to convince, and even Marie began seeing me as a noble…The king brought unnecessary trouble.He suddenly appeared in front of people who had a difference in status that was like heaven and earth compared to him, and said that he knew one of the people there. It was normal for others to think that the person was someone abnormal too.It was the same in both
On the day of the birthday party, I was waiting for Eleanora-san to bring the pudding to the castle.As expected, it seemed that since there were a lot of people entering and exiting the castle today, I couldn’t enter by myself, even if I had an entry permit.Therefore, it had been decided that I would go with Eleanora-san."Marie, you really won’t come?""Yes, I will stay and watch the house."Since we met Princess Flora the last time we went to see the castle, it seems to have become a kind of trauma. Even though nothing really happened to her…as a commoner, Marie must have been stressed out just by seeing royalty.I didn’t want to force her, so I decided to go to the castle alone."Okay. I will try to come back as soon as I can."I decided go to the castle alone.As I was waiting at the cat House, Eleanora-san came."Hello.""Good morning.""Fufu, I really want to see everyone’s faces when they eat the pudding!"Eleanora-san, your wicked face is showing!"Seriously, don’t tell anyo
I was Marielly back at the cat House in Crimonia after a long time.The last time I was here, I immediately returned to the capital after buying eggs and making pudding.So I really did have the impression that it had been a long time."Big Sis Nicole, it was really fun, wasn’t it?""I am pleased that you think so. Since I have the transfer gate, we can go there whenever we want.""Yes, but next time I want to go with all my family.""I see, but don’t tell anyone about the gate, okay?""Okay."Marie was going to head home, so we parted ways there.I left the cat House to tell the people who had taken care of me that I was back.First, I headed towards the Adventurers’ Guild."Nicole-san, you are back?""Yes, I got back today.""But wasn’t the king’s birthday yesterday?""Well, about that…""Your summoned beasts can move really fast, huh.""Anyways, here, a souvenir."I bought an accessory that was popular in the capital."An accessory? Thank you very much."Since I really didn’t know
