Life in Another World With Narration

14 – Magical Power Conversion

“The saint ran away?”

The Demon King Kuthranux.

Demon King Bersella was sitting on her throne, talking to Xaviel through spatial projection magic.

“That’s right. But don’t worry. “I have already figured out the location.”

“Isn’t that actually a good thing? Since the saint disappeared on her own, we can just elect a new saint.”

Versella didn’t seem to care much.

In any case, whether you kill the saint or run away and disappear, the saint’s position will remain vacant.

What is important to Versella is finding the hero.

The reason she ordered the killing of her saint in the first place was because she ran out of patience because she could not find her hero quickly.

“It’s just as you said…” … “There’s a bit of a problem.”

“Problem?”

“It seems that other churches that learned of this incident are excluding Preah Parish from their upcoming regular meetings.”

“Why is that a problem?”

“There is no possibility of a saint being selected from our diocese.”

Xaviel reported honestly.

It was fortunate that the former saint was chosen from the Diocese of Prea, controlled by Xaviel, but her reputation as the bishop of Xaviel also played a role.

Xaviel had been hiding among humans for a long time and perfectly portrayed the life of a bishop.

The original plan was to kill her saint and replace her with her next saint according to Bersella’s orders, but it went awry.

And that was a problem that would inevitably arise even if the saint had died as planned instead of running away.

Bersella was having a hard time in her head.

Actually, she wasn’t that smart.

At first, it was a simple matter of securing her saint and quickly finding her hero.

But when the plan went astray, her mind could no longer keep up.

“Ugh… “Then what are you going to do?”

“If a saint appears from another diocese…….”

“I don’t know! “I don’t know!”

“Mr. Versella… ….”

Bewilderment began to appear on Xaviel’s expression.

She had little experience as a demon lord and was the youngest among her demons.

So she sometimes made decisions based on emotions rather than reason.

That was also the case when he ordered her saint to be killed.

Rather than kill her saint, Javiel wanted to wait until she served out her remaining term, but her Demon King’s orders were absolute.

He was nervous because he could not predict what order the Demon King would give this time.

“Find the hero at all costs! And get rid of them first before they come to kill me!”

“Even if you say that… ….”

“aaah! I don’t know! You idiot! “Do something!”

With Bersella’s shout, the spatial projection magic that had connected her conversation with Xaviel was cut off.

“Ha… Demon King… ….”

A dark secret room filled with silence.

Jar Viel was sighing and missing her ancestral demon king.

Novice rank adventurer.

This refers to an adventurer who has not yet verified his or her abilities as an adventurer and has not yet received an official grade.

I had finally finished registering as an adventurer at the guild and was waiting for Tina, who was working as a receptionist, to get off work.

“Phew, shift is over.”

After a while, Tina, who had changed from her receptionist uniform to casual clothes, came out of the guild and approached me.

The reason I called Tina over after work was because I had something to ask her.

This is none other than the problem of Meruru.

I thought it would be difficult to take proper care of Meruru from now on since I started my life as an adventurer.

I wasn’t going to use Meruru’s special skills to dig up medicinal herbs anymore, and I wanted to make money as an adventurer.

Of course, he could have continued to take Meruru with him and made a profit by selling medicinal herbs.

But isn’t there a reason why she even had to stow away to come here?

Now that she had become an adventurer, she didn’t think it was right to continue using Meruru as a means of making money.

Furthermore, if such profits continue to occur, there is a risk that I will become complacent and become complacent.

However, it was impossible to send Meruru away alone without any measures as she was not well-versed in the world.

So what I thought was to ask Tina.

I think the kindness and tolerance she showed me when she was a saint is still in effect today.

Since I work at a guild where all the world’s information is gathered, I may be able to find clues about her older sister.

Wouldn’t Tina know a way to help Meruru?

“Meruru, hello. This is Tina. “She’s the one who helped me before.”

Meruru twitched her pickled radish eyebrows and looked at Tina quietly.

“Oh my, what a cute girl. Nice to meet you. “My name is Tina.”

Tina, who saw that, smiled and greeted Meruru.

When I thought the two of us had finished talking to some extent, I explained Meruru to Tina.

From the moment she first met Meruru and why she came to the continent.

Because of the unique appearance of the beast people, she had no choice but to cover her ears and tail.

She used her special skills to dig up her medicine and met her slime.

And even the reason why I feel anxious about leaving Meruru alone.

“…… I see. Is she a beast from the island of Helvetica? “It’s definitely rare here.”

Tina looked at Meruru and nodded her head as if she understood.

“So, if you are Tina, I was wondering if there might be a way to help Meruru…” ….”

More than anything, I couldn’t protect Meruru now.

Once you begin your life as an adventurer, you will inevitably encounter dangerous situations in the future.

He was already in danger once because of me, and I didn’t want Meruru to go through that again.

“Meruru, can you take off that hood for a moment?”

Tina, who looked lost in thought for a moment, asked Meruru.

I took off her hood for Meruru, who was confused.

Two large, fox-like ears fluttered out as soon as she took off her hood.

“Why… “I feel uneasy for some reason.”

Meruru pressed her ears with both hands, perhaps bothered by Tina’s gaze.

“It’s okay. “Because this person is not a slave trader.”

I stroked Meruru’s head and reassured her.

After talking about the slave traders on the Akbari, she was afraid to show her prisoner form to other humans.

“Well, there is no race like Meruru in Kubel, but other races visit from time to time.”

“Is that so? “I haven’t seen it yet.”

“If you’re in the guild, you can see it sometimes.”

Tina continued her words, looking closely at Meruru’s face as she removed her hood.

“Actually, I don’t think slave traders are a big problem to Mr. Meruru. “Because slave traders don’t mess with people who have a clean appearance or belong somewhere.”

Well, even if I were a slave trader, I would probably target children who were helpless and had nowhere to go.

Just like Meruru looked like when we first met.

But now, I bought him a new robe, and the dirty and frizzy feeling has disappeared as he travels with me.

If it looks like this, people will look at it with curious eyes, but it will not immediately become a target for slave traders.

“But there are still many things I feel uneasy about leaving Meruru alone.”

I said, looking at Meruru with her worried eyes.

“Then, Meruru, how about working at the guild too?”

Tina made an unexpected offer of her own.

“Is it okay?”

Obviously, if you can work in a guild, all your problems will be solved at once.

You will be able to live a stable life, and through the information gathered in the guild, you will be able to gather clues to find your sister’s whereabouts.

But that Meruru…… Is it possible?

“You said earlier that people of different races sometimes visit the guild, right? In fact, even if they are of different races, such people feel more comfortable being treated by people of a different race than by people like us.”

“Ah… That might be possible.”

“In human society, even if they are of different races, they are all grouped into the same race. “I think it would be more convenient if Meruru acted as a receptionist when dealing with such people.”

Somehow I felt like I could understand.

In Kubel, where humans are the absolute majority, it feels like other races are treated as just two types: ‘non-human race’ and ‘human’.

Whether you are a beastman, a lizard, or any other race, you will all feel like heterogeneous beings here.

And because of that subtle sense of social alienation, it may actually be possible to form a consensus among people of different races.

In that sense, Tina’s suggestion felt reasonable enough.

She will visit the guild often as an adventurer from now on, and she also wants to see Meruru working in receptionist clothes.

“Yunoaaa! Are you abandoning me?! I hate it! “It’s scary!”

“Wow!”

At that time, Meruru, who was quietly listening to her conversation, clung to me like a cicada and whined.

“Oh my.”

Tina was looking at the scene with her hand on one of her cheeks.

I barely let go of her meruru that was holding on to me tightly and not letting go, and I stroked her head to calm her down.

“Meruru, you have work to do too. You say we need to find her sister? “If you follow Tina and work at the guild, you won’t have to worry about going hungry every day, and the guild gathers information from all over, so maybe you can get a clue to find her older sister.”

“Ugh… ….”

“Or have you given up on finding your sister?”

“Her sister must be found… ….”

Both of Meruru’s ears drooped.

“And if you’re in the guild, I can see you often.”

“Woooooh…” I want to know… ….”

After persuading Meruru, I spoke politely to Tina again.

“Then, please take good care of Meruru from now on. “I get help every time.”

“I’ll tell the guild leader. “I think you can come to the guild right away tomorrow morning.”

Through Tina’s consideration, Meruru got a job as a receptionist specializing in different races at the Kubel Adventurer’s Guild.

She is truly grateful to her.

If the day comes that Tina needs help, then I will definitely repay her kindness.

For that to happen, I, too, must grow as an adventurer.

『Yunoa strengthened her will again and looked at Tina with her faint eyes.

Deep in his heart, a curiosity slowly emerged.

Does she wear underwear now that she is no longer a saint?』

No, narration.

Please understand the atmosphere.

She was currently strengthening her will.

… ….

… ….

…… I’m curious.
