So that people would learn about the change of opening hours even a little bit, I asked Tirumina-san to edit the posted pamphlets.Even so, there would still be people who came without knowing about it.To deal with this problem, I went to the Adventurer’s Guild."Nicole-san, what are you doing here at this hour?"I saw Helen coming out of the guild."Helen-san, are you going back now?""Yes, it’s closing time now, after all. What’s the matter, Nicole-san?""I came here to make a request.""A request?""Yes. I want to erase the troubles in advance, you see.""Troubles?"I explained what happened today."That’s why I thought of changing the opening hours for tomorrow, but…There will surely be people who will not know and will come earlier. It would be great if they went back after we apologized, but…""And that’s why you want to make a request?""There are only women and children working at our shop, after all. That’s why I want to hire adventurers who would protect them from violent c
While I was dealing with some tasks, Rurina-san came looking troubled."Nicole-chan, could you come here for a second?""Something happened?""Yeah, a little. A child that neither Gill nor I can handle came.""Who came?""A noble girl."There was just one noble girl I could think of, though…First of all, I didn’t even know how many nobles there were there in this town, so she might not be the one I was thinking about."If it is just a normal noble, I can do something about it, but…"We exited the kitchen, and as we went towards the entrance, we could see a blond girl charging at Gill through the glass windows.There was no doubt, she was the person I knew."Let me enter! I have some business with Nicole-san!""Wait a little. Someone just went to call Nicole."Gill was blocking the entrance.I knew it. The noble girl was Noa.The two were glaring at each other.It was no good just looking at the two of them, so I decided to go out and intervene."Noa, what are you doing?""Nicole-san!
A few days after the shop’s opening.The shop was doing great, without any troubles.The only problems were the potato and cheese stocks.I left the shop in Morin-san’s and Tirumina-san’s hands and went to the villages that made cheese and produced potatoes.The nearest one was the village that produced potatoes.I hopped on kurone and arrived there in less than half an hour.kurone’s speed had definitely increased.I was right, it increased when my level increased. When I became stronger, my summoned beasts became stronger, too.While thinking about that, I arrived close to the village gate and saw people going in and out. Thanks to my habit, I accidentally approached the gate while riding kurone."Who are you?!"A man standing near the gate shouted while looking at me.He must have been shocked, first thinking that a Cat was approaching the village, and then, when it came closer, seeing a girl in a Cat-suit riding it.Even I would be shocked if I saw something like that."I am Nicol
The shop was now doing well even without me, so I didn’t have to go there recently.The sales were great, Morin-san was trying to make new types of bread, and the children, who had gotten used to the work, were now doing it happily.We also increased the number of new dishes.Rurina-san and Gill also went back to their adventurer jobs.The two of them left Deborane’s party and accepted jobs alone or made temporary parties.They often came to the store as customers.I didn’t have anything to do, so I decided to go to the capital using the transfer gate.Even though the birthday party had ended, there were still a lot of people there.I went to the castle to take pudding to Princess Flora.When I arrived at the gate, the soldiers seemed to remember me and gave a relaxed greeting as I approached them."I want to go inside, is that okay?"I presented my guild card to them.There was a permit to enter the castle on my guild card, so that I could enter without any problems.When the guard a
"Are you really going there?"Terumi-san asked me with a worried look .At the orphanage, I told Terumi-san and Marie that I would go to the sea by crossing the mountain range."I want to see the sea, after all. That’s why, I will leave the shop in your hands."Even if I didn’t specifically say it, the shop was already under Terumi-san’s and Morin-san’s care. Even if I wasn’t here, there wouldn’t be any problems.To prove it, I gradually reduced the number of times I went to the store."That’s fine, but Erezento’s mountain range is steep, you know.""If I really find it dangerous, I will come back here. Not to mention, with Kurone, Shirone, and everything else, there won’t be any problems.""Big Sis Nicole…"Marie also looked extremely worried."There will be no problems. When things calm down a little on the other side of the mountain, I will contact you."I took two palm-sized cat Figurines from the cat Box and gave one to Marie."This is?""It’s a cat Phone that can call anywhere.
There were people in this snowstorm.They were probably adventurers like me.Did they come all the way here to kill some monsters?Thinking that it would be a pain if they attacked out of surprise after seeing Shirone, I decided to pass by them without making contact, but the signal from the detection magic didn’t move.Were they camping?It was hard to believe that they would be moving during a snowstorm.It was possible that there was a cave and they were just taking a break.Then, wouldn’t it be fine if I just continued on my way?In the end, after thinking deeply about what to do, I decided to continue advancing towards them .The storm was becoming stronger and stronger.Using the detection magic, I finally arrived near the signal.There was no cavern nor large boulders in sight, nowhere you could hide. In addition to that, nobody was standing around here. Still, the detection magic was reacting.The only thing I could think was that they were buried under the snow.Wasn’t that r
When I blew away the snow that piled up in front of the cave, we were met with beautiful weather.The weather was so beautiful, it was as if the snowstorm was just a dream.It was to the point that it was almost too bright for an ex-hikikomori like me.I asked the two of them to leave the cave before I put away the Cat House.When I left the cave, the two were having problems walking on the fresh snow."Nicole-chan, what will you do about your house?"Since we had grown closer during yesterday’s meal, they were now using 『chan』 instead of 『san』.It was more comfortable for me this way."I made it with magic, so I can put it away with magic as well.""Nicole-chan, you are really a strong adventurer, aren’t you?""I am just a normal, rank D adventurer, you know."It was a really dubious phrase, if I had to say so myself.If there were any other adventurers wearing a Cat suit, going through the snowy mountain alone, and even bringing out a house, I would really want to meet them."Then,
After filling my belly with a delicious dinner, the uncle led me to my room.Since there were a lot of vacant rooms, he let me take the biggest single room for the price of a normal room.I plunged into the large bed, took out the cat Phone, and called Marie in Crimonia to tell her that I had arrived in Mireera.Marie was relieved to hear that I arrived safely.I didn’t want to make Marie worried, so I didn’t tell her about the Kraken, or the state of the city.I just told her that I wouldn’t be returning to town for a while.When I opened my eyes the next morning, I saw a big white ball and a big black ball on my bed.Taking a better look, they were Shirone and Kurune that were sleeping on the bed curled in a ball shape.I remembered that I summoned them yesterday as crime prevention.A 15-year-old maiden was sleeping alone. This sort of precaution was necessary.However, the cats were sleeping so soundly. Would they wake me up if something happened?I trusted them though.I petted t
