Chapter 212 – Principality of Morph

On the day of our departure from Morph, we were able to meet Bella’s assistant.
Because the work of selecting people was carefully selected, it was only until the day of departure that the assistant was selected.

Until I arrived at the adventurer’s guild, I eagerly guessed who the attendant’s identity was.

‘Didn’t I choose a useful person among the adventurers?’

Barbarian nickel inspiration, and many other adventurers who are active between the silver and gold ranks. In fact, there were platinum and diamond levels after the gold level.
However, high-ranking adventurers have very tight schedules, so it is rare for them to suddenly receive a request. I heard that most of them are now away from Joensuu. So there’s a high probability that an adventurer of the same grade as us will follow us as an attendant.

When I arrived at the Adventurers’ Guild with Rebecca and Kate, Bella’s carriage was waiting for us in front of the building. It is the Guild Master’s express carriage that I rode during escort quests.

“Are you going to ride that again?”
“It’s okay! Of all the wagons I’ve ridden so far, that’s the best. It’s so comfortable that sometimes I thought I was at home and not at the wagon.”

The moment Rebecca and Kate saw the wagon as big as a camper, they jumped and cheered. It’s because the room has everything like a bed and cooking utensils. That’s actually not a wagon, but a camper from another world.

It was time for me to be just as happy as they were.
However, the moment he spotted the silver-haired half-elf strolling around the wagon, the laughter stopped.

“Delia…?”
“Hmm! Long time no see everyone.”

When we called her name, Delia turned her head to us. A little half-elf who can be said to be enemies with me. A kid with a bewitching body compared to his petite body.

“You heard that! You guys had a party with my Bella? The party members are fine. Everything looks fine except for one older brother who looks like a crap.”

Delia glanced at us with a judgmental gaze. Everyone else is fine except for someone? That Kampnyeon makes me angry as soon as I meet him!

“Who do you call a slut? You exhibitionist girl!”
“Older Luke, of course there is only one older brother out of these. Just looking at his face that looks like a parasitic brother, he looks like an idiot. Can you fight properly with such a smooth face? Kyahaha.”
“Who the hell is the Kamp who was protected by Heocheop in the labyrinth? Does that mean he’s more like a sucker than Heocheop? How about knowing the subject and messing around?”
“At that time…! Delia didn’t have a quarter staff! As long as she could use ancient magic, she could wipe out all the ghouls!”

The title Delia calls me has changed. Until the last time we met, he cheekily called you, blonde dreamer, Luke. Now you are secretly using the title ‘brother’.

So, is it good to hear your voice?
It’s a man’s instinct to feel happy when a cute girl calls him oppa. But I’m not at all happy to be called oppa by Delia!

Rather nasty!

‘Could it be that Delia was chosen as the secretary? She says she has to go on a trip with this little boy?’

Delia and I, who were fighting her nerves, came to a terrifying conclusion. Why is this Kampnyeon hanging around the wagon? Waiting for departure as Bella’s personal assistant was terrifying.

“…Could it be you? You’re not following us as a party member, are you?”
“Whoa, what if I follow you! Isn’t it something we should rather be happy about? It’s an opportunity to accompany the successor of Ninggard.”

I felt sick to my stomach. The thought of being beaten by Delia in the carriage is already stressing me out. Should I rather run away from this hell party now? As she was seriously contemplating her breakout, Delia shrugged her shoulders.
At the same time as her shoulders sway, her heavy breasts sway.

“…Unfortunately, Delia can’t go with her. She has to stay in Yoensu and investigate the artifacts with the Mage Tower researchers. I’m talking about the artifacts found in the labyrinth.”
“That’s good, that’s damn good! Then who else is following you besides you? Do you know who Bella’s assistant is?”
“Well? I haven’t heard who he picked for his assistant. Bella picked him, so he must be smart.”

My stomach was empty as if I had taken digestive medicine. I don’t know who the secretary is, but Delia says it’s not.

“I just came to meet Bella who is going on a trip. But why is she suddenly so happy? Luke, brother, don’t you want to go on a trip with me?”
“Would you like it to be like you?”
“No!”

We see Delia exclaiming that she never said no. We were dead set on trying to avoid each other.

As we waited at the carriage stop, Bella finally appeared in front of us.

“Did everyone wait a long time? I’m sorry. It took a while to choose an assistant.”

The moment Bella appeared, there was only one thing I paid attention to. She asked Bella directly who she had chosen as her assistant secretary.

“Bella, who did you choose?
“Yes, he’s coming over there. He’s someone you all know well. Especially Luke’s younger brother seems to be very friendly.”

Who do we know well?

I stick out my neck and turn my head like a meerkat exploring the surroundings. A familiar figure walked out of the guild building Bella pointed at.

“Mr. Wendy…?”

Why is Wendy out there?

I’ve pinched her cheeks with my fingers, but she’s not dreaming. A beautiful receptionist with a well-rounded body came up to Bella and nodded. Contrary to her usual appearance, wearing a suit feels fresh.

“Thank you, adventurers! I’ve been appointed as Bugilma’s attendant. I’ll guide you on the way to Morph comfortably. I’m very happy to be accompanied by the adventurers in charge!”

Wendy clapped her hands and smiled warmly. Rebecca and Kate were puzzled by Wendy’s sudden appearance.

“Um, the receptionist is following us? Who guards the reception desk?”
“Rebecca-sama! That’s right, the other receptionists share the work that goes back to me. There are many people who will keep the reception desk without me.”
“I suddenly followed Morph. Is it okay? I heard that it’s a pretty rough neighborhood…”
“What can I do! If you need Bugilma-sama, I’ll go anywhere. I was surprised to be suddenly chosen as an assistant secretary. But I’m the only one who can act as a guide in Morph. I have experience working in the Morph branch.”

As befits a senior receptionist, Wendy has often been assigned to adventurer guilds across the continent, she says. She says she once worked as a receptionist at the Morph branch, so her guide role should be sufficient.

“Do you know how to drive a carriage, Mr. Wendy?”
“Yes-. I intensively learned the work of a coachman at the receptionist workshop. I know how to handle most vehicles.”

As expected of a competent receptionist, she seems to have at least a driving experience. At least it would be much better than having Delia follow her as her assistant. It’s a bonus that my mental health is healed every time I see a huge rocking mamma barrel.

There are studies that show that looking at your breasts every day increases your lifespan.
This trip will greatly increase my lifespan!

Umm…
It’s all good, but there’s something bothering me. If the destination had been a safe place, she would have no problem with Wendy following. However, we must pursue the phantom thief in the Principality of Morph.

Dangerous things happen when you chase criminals.
She is worried about Wendy’s safety.

“I’m going to have to do the chase quest, but are you really okay? Her life could be in danger.”
“Luke-sama! You don’t have to worry about me. I received a separate magic tool from Bugilma-nim. It’s a contract-type magic tool called ‘Spirit Amulet’. I can summon intermediate level spirits, so it’s enough to protect me. Do.”

Wendy showed me her magic tool in the form of a necklace. Only then did I feel relieved to accept Wendy as a member of her party. It doesn’t matter if you have the means to protect her body. If it was a mid-level spirit, even if you summoned one, it would be no match for bronze-level adventurers.

“Eh… Intermediate spirits are said to have a range attack and a double attack function. I might be able to provide fire support from behind.”
“That’s enough. Welcome to the party.”

So, Wendy joined the party as an executive secretary. When it was time to leave, we said goodbye to the people who had come to see us off.

Delia wasn’t the only one who visited the guild to see her off. Wendy’s daughter, Mary, also came late to say hello to us.

“Mom! Have a good day!”
“Uhhhhh… Stay calm at Grandma Kuran’s house. Be a good kid and I’ll give Mary a nice present.”
“A nice present? What is it?”
“What Mary wants!”

We see a mini-sized Mary who looks exactly like Wendy. She is a cute little girl who looks innocent from the outside. Mary’s eyes widened at the mention of her gift.

“Can I decide now what I want to receive?”
“Tell me anything. What would Mary want to receive?”

Before parting ways, Wendy asked Mary what gift she would like to receive. Since he’s an ignorant kid, he’ll want a toy at best. It was when I was watching her mother-daughter conversation that was heartwarming.

Suddenly Mary smiled and answered.

“I want to get her dad as a present-!!”

What the fuck
What do you want as a gift?

“Me, Mary? Can you say that again?”
“Daddy! Mary needs a daddy! She wants a well-paid and good-looking person to be her daughter! If she can use magic, that’s great!”

Our atmosphere instantly stiffened. My lovers, who had just been looking at Mary with warm smiles, reacted in bewilderment.

“What is that kid? You asked for a present for your dad?!”
“Chew, it could be because he’s a child who’s not very immature. Children of that age need their parents.”
“I feel sorry for not having a dad… I’ll have to introduce a nice guy to receptionist Wendy.”

Wendy grabs Mary for her bombshell statement and leaves her at a loss.

“Mary. Money can’t buy Dad… And Mary is enough for Mom. Just the two of us can live happily.”
“Isn’t Mary enough? When she comes back, she brings a nice guy. My wish is that the three of us go on a family trip next year. It’s even better if there are four of us when we leave and come back!”
“Sigh…”

Mary made a wish to Wendy with her bright face.
But somehow Mary’s eyes weren’t looking at Wendy, who was talking to her.

She turned her head and looked in our direction.

“He’s handsome, makes good money, and is a wizard! He’s got a really good body. It seems like a candidate for a father is seen around him.”
“What, what do you mean by that…?”

To be exact, he’s staring at me.
He has an innocent face, but he is a kid who knows everything.

“Mom! Fighting!”

Mary cheered for Wendy with a cute pose, and then she ran away.
She was so distraught that she didn’t even think of catching Mary, who was running away.

“…”

For a while, the surroundings of the adventurer’s guild were enveloped in silence.
Wendy worked her ass off in a cold sweat.

“Su, shall we depart soon, everyone? Get in the cabin. I’ll take you to the morph quickly. …Don’t pay attention to what my daughter said! Ha, haha. I’m still a kid, so I don’t know the world very well.”
“So, what gift are you going to give your daughter?”
“Yeah? Ahhh… She can just buy her some toys in moderation. How can I give her dad a present?”

Soon we boarded the wagon and left for Morph.

Beast country.
A wild land imbued with the power of the World Tree was waiting for us.
