Chapter 140 – Holy Knight Lishua

Following Lishua, we entered the city area.

During my last visit, I stayed in a lodging house further away from here.

The reason being the strict status system employed by the late city lord Rudolph Lanchester. Only the residents were allowed to enter the city, while a visitor couldn't.

Back in the day, the city was run according to the rules that the Lanchesters set.

But it's different now. The gloomy feeling that covered the city had been fading away. The faces of the passers by were somewhat more brighter. But it's just superfluous feeling…

[I can see it, the residents are anxious.]

[Yes, it's beyond my power to fix it. There is still a lot of reserves left, so it's not a problem at all…]

[So the desert monster is the cause? I can tell because similar thing happened in the capital recently]

[I regularly received reports about what happened in the Capital… just what is happening to this world?]

[Well, we are going to stop whatever it is before it bees even more disastrous.]

I pulled away my hand, which for some reason somewhat saddened Lishua.

[I'm just too inexperienced. To even trouble Fate-sama and the others…]

[As I said, it's not a bother. In any case, even if we managed to avert the disaster, it'll be no use if we lose what we are meant to protect. Of course, that includes everyone in this city, and Lishua as well.]

[Fate-sama…]

After I said so, Lishua then turned towards Roxy, Eris, and Mimir who were walking behind me.

She said to all three of them.

[Everyone… thank you very much.]

A short while later, we arrived at the mansion. It used to be the mansion where the Lanchesters lived, but now it's been turned into a dormitory for Lishua and her men to stay.

It's quite big for a mansion. A bit bigger and it could be considered a castle.

[This mansion really doesn't suit me. Anyways, please e in]

Acpanied by Lishua, we entered the mansion. She actually guided us to what seems like a weling banquet.

Maids had lined up in advance. Drinks and snacks had been prepared neatly on the tables.

Lishua chuckled when I thanked her.

[We are both Holy Knights, but Fate-sama is the head of Barbatos family, one of the Five Great Family. No need to be so humble.]

[I'm originally just a moner. It was Aaron who adopted me into the family. Roxy here is a more amazing person than me.]

I turned to Roxy who sat next to me on the left.

[No no, it's not that much.]

[I don't think so. Even when I was still a moner, I've always admired Roxy.]

[Fai, if you say something like that all of a sudden…]

Roxy started hitting my shoulder playfully. Her face was beet red.

Just when the atmosphere was about to bee unfortable, I felt Eris elbowed my ribs from the right.

[Gah! What was that for!?]

[A~gain, you're the one who started it. Please do that kind of stuff when there is no other people around. Don't we need to talk about something more important, do we now~? Do you two understand?]

[ [ Pardon me ] ]

[It's just as Eris-sama said! The recent lovey dovey Fate-sama and Roxy-sama is too much for me!]

There was no way to refute when even Mimir said it.

I didn't even realize that I did such a thing, which is a problem. The same thing applied to Roxy as well, as we looked at each other in shame.

In any case, all we can do right now is,

[ [ Sorry ] ]

[Good if you understand!]

I saw Mimir smirked right away after that. And Eris sitting on my right looking smug.

Those two are… so hard to keep them in line! Seeing both me and Roxy sighed in defeat, Lishua laughed.

[Fufufufu, pardon me.]

[No, it's fine. It's always like this.]

[Is that so…? But I'm glad.]

[You mean?]

She looked at us in what seem like a brand new light.

[I thought… that Eris-sama, being the High Queen of this kingdom, was a scarier person…]
