Chapter 196 – Quadrangle?

000

An adventurer’s guild located in Ellesia. The first floor, as always, was crowded with adventurers, and in contrast, the second floor, where office work was handled, was a quiet corridor.

Among them, in the guild master’s office, the most important room, the guild master ‘Wind of Happiness’ Luti, who could be said to be the owner of the room, and her little collaborator, the apprentice doctor ‘Ferdia’, were enjoying a tea party talking about the current situation.

“Yes… The mansion of the gold speculum is dismantled as expected.”

“Yes. Since the barrier was dismantled after Cleon-sama left, it seems that the view is that it should be dismantled before the monsters attach themselves to it again.”

Looking at the report Perdia gave her, Luti bit into a small cookie spread with strawberry jam, munched her little mouth, and spilled black tea.

“No matter how temporary it may be, the place that was used as a base disappeared. It’s disappointing.”

When Luti said that, Ferdia smiled a little and nodded her head.

Of course, the weight of the information dealt with was not very light, considering that originally only the Heretic Inquisitors of the Saint’s Protection Church knew this information.

Recently, Per Dia was gathering information about the continent from various places by joining forces with Luti.

Of course, there was also the purpose of helping Cleon, who was struggling to save Lesia, but after she broke up with him at her academy, Luti’s premonition that bad winds were blowing in the continent’s sentiment acted.

Now, Perdia rarely works as her assassin her, but rather she has washed her body her in the dark world to the extent that her councilor side her can be said to be her day job her.

Even so, she wants to help Cleon and Luti, one of her own benefactors of her.

By her side of her, she was to deliver necessary news to Luti, using the assassin’s unique ability to stealth and gather information.

The news this time was like that too, and the recent reaction of the divine magic that bothered me around here was the reason Luti asked for an investigation.

Moreover, seeing that the reaction moved from place to place in an instant, it must have been a person with special abilities, not a general member of the church.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t figure out the identity of that reaction, but it was a harvest to figure out the trend of her Heretic Inquisitors while chasing her.

Thanks to that, it seemed that he could deal with all the traces of Cleon’s party remaining in the mansion before they came.

“I’ll put a request on trustworthy adventurers, so I don’t think I need to worry about the mansion anymore.”

At Ruti’s words Her, Per Dia nodded her head as well.

“Okay. That’s all about work. Next time- voila.”

Saying so, what Luti took out of her drawer was a letter from Cleon that had not yet been sealed.

Ferdia saw it too, her hands her together and her eyes twinkling, just like her dog looking at her owner as she pulled out her treats her.

“I arrived yesterday. I want to see you with Perdia.”

“Thank you Ruti…!”

Hehe, Luti wipes her nose, and Perdia lowers her head looking at Luti like that.

Now, the two of them have a relationship like boss and subordinate.

Luti carefully unseals the wax seal on the envelope with a smile on her face.

And she took out Cleon’s letter from there and read it.

“Hmm~ I see… Hoohooh…”

As I looked at the contents of the letter with Ferdia, Ferdia’s expression her gradually brightened and Luti’s expression darkened.

The reason for this must be the content written in the second half of the letter.

[The monastery where I owe money seems to be short of workers. If it’s okay, I want Perdia to come to the royal capital. Think about it.]

“I’m going! Right now…!”

“Why only Ferdia~!!”

Ferdia raises her fist in victory, and Luti covers her head and buries her face in her desk her.

Seriously, it was because Luti’s work her as a guild master was busy, so it was impossible to leave Elessia for days like that.

Ferdia’s councilor is also open every day, and her customers come to visit her, but most of her are men with nothing to do who come to see her.

However much her awareness of her improved, she still seemed to have a hard time winning over the healing services of the temple.

When Ferdia held her letter her, her eyes twinkling and spinning around in her place as if excited, Luti pouted and looked at her, then smiled wryly with a sigh.

Her position her as her older sister her in charge of the children of her old assassination syndicate and her uniquely quiet atmosphere her make her unforgettable.

She is a younger girl than that Sasha.

After losing her tooth, which was different from her father’s her, it was understandable that she had special feelings for Cleon, who was a new dependable human being.

“It’s called by Cleon, so you’d better go quickly. I’ll prepare a wagon.”

When Luti says that, Perdia suddenly regains her senses, stops her body her, and clears her throat.

“Thank you, Mr. Ruti.”

That much, what, she shrugged, while Luti pulled out her pen to fill out her related papers.

There was a knock, knock, knock on the office door.

“Excuse me. Luti-nim, Ferdia-sister.”

Then, the door opened and revealed a guild receptionist who has been working diligently at the desk lately.

Not long ago, as she formally became an employee of the guild, when she saw her wing-shaped badge shining on the uniform she received, Perdia unknowingly put a smile on her lips.

She, too, is a girl who was a member of the old assassination organization, and she has been smart since she was a child.

That she was able to open her chest proudly and find something to do, Perdia felt relieved of her.

“What’s wrong? What happened down there?”

When Luti asked her girl that, she shook her head and walked towards Luti, her boss her, with her trot her.

“It’s not like that. The stock of request scrolls is almost out of stock. It’s probably going to run out by next Monday, so I’m here to fill out the order form and post it.”

When she says that, she hands the document she filled out with a nervous expression to Ruti, who also scans her document and writes his signature her.

“Now it seems like it’s completely one person’s share. The other employees were also praising it.”

“Go, thank you…”

Blushing at Luti’s praise her, the girl who had returned her spell turned around and met Perdia’s eyes her.

“…Sister, do you seem to be in a good mood somewhere?”

“Do you think you understand… ? Actually, I went to the royal capital. Cleon-sama called me.”

At Perdia’s words her, the girl also smiles brightly and rejoices as if it were her job her.

“Orca. Please take good care of the other children while Sister is emptying Elesia.”

The height difference is n’t that great, but when Ferdia put her hand on her head her, the girl called ‘Orca’ also nodded her head.

Orca also understood how precious Cleon was to Perdia.

One year difference with Ferdia.

When her assassination organization her was still in existence, she competed for the position of the next ‘Apostle of Shadows’, but she herself always felt that her assassination skills her were insignificant compared to her Per Dia her.

Besides, she’s like her family her. She also knows how much Perdia cares about her children’s future her.

What supports her her heart her is her father her, who saved her from the days when she crawled on her land and ate her bugs her, and her father her who saved her and took care of her.

Although he sacrificed his own life for failing his mission, it was in accordance with the discipline he took pride in as an assassin.

After that, a coward wearing the mask of a hero who attacked them.

It was Cleon who saved Perdia from touching her by holding them hostage.

In other words, Cleon was the benefactor of both Perdia and the children of the old assassination syndicate.

Orca herself also thought it would be nice if Cleon was married to Perdia.

And at the same time – Orca herself comes up with a subject in her head, albeit pale, but with girlish feelings.

Come to think of it, I haven’t heard from her since she went to the capital.

“Hey, Ferdia-sama. I have a favor to ask of you.”

“Ask? It’s rare for an Orca to ask. What is it?”

Orca shuts her mouth for a moment, then she hesitantly organizes her words her, choosing them.

“You, you-“

001

“I see… That child.”

Perdia walking down the aisle with a woman who is both Eustes and Justina.

When she arrived in the city, Iona, who was greeted by her, explained everything about her, but she could n’t easily believe that the beautiful girl in front of her was Eustes.

“I’ll have to write a letter. I’m healthy… I’m not lying.”

There seemed to be no masculine side left on Eustes’ face as he said that and smiled bitterly.

Ferdia clears her throat while watching Eustes, who has become more feminine than she thought.

After Cleon left for the academy, when Eusthes started over as an adventurer at her lowest level for a fresh start.

Perdia, who had witnessed many scenes of Orca and her strangely together, briefly followed him, examining whether she was a trustworthy human being.

After that, since she safely passed the examination, she has been in a relationship like a neighbor…

‘What happened to his body and mind his…`

She had heard from Iona that she was cursed by the Inma, but she could not know more details.

It is as shocking as the fact that all the women other than the nuns I saw on the way to this room were originally men.

Priority. Let’s start by telling what needs to be told.

“Eusthes-sama. Orca probably thinks that even if Eustes-sama becomes a woman, she won’t have any problems.”

“Huh? Ah, ah… That, yes.”

To what Ferdia says, Eustes replies as if he is not sure, and then looks outside the hallway to find women who are in the same situation as himself.

More than before, the number of people wearing men’s clothing was reduced.

“After I came into this body, I thought about it for a few days, and it was difficult again… But I’m fine now. I’ve finished organizing my mind. As a result, I realized that I haven’ didn’t change much.”

Looking at her with a sage-like expression on her face Her, Ferdia replied, ‘Ha, ha…’As if she did n’t know.

“But, I’m glad that Cleon allowed you to come here… Divine magic can’t properly determine whether you’re sick or not.”

“Yes. Fortunately, Eustes’ body was healthy itself.”

Saying that, Ferdia nodded her head as if she was glad that she had all the necessary equipment in her medical bag.

This is exactly what Cleon asked for.

Layla’s reagent is preventing people from becoming women, but there may be side effects of the drug that they are not aware of.

That’s why she asked Perdia, a person she could trust with medical knowledge, to come to the royal capital and look after the people of the monastery.

Eusthes, who glanced at the difficult jargon written on the medical examination table Perdia was holding in one hand, felt her head her spin, but shook her head and said to her.

“You’re young, but you’re amazing. When I was your age, I was just a kid who only thought of myself…”

As Eustes puts on her nostalgic expression of her, as if recalling the dark history of her own shameful childhood of her, Perdia shuts her mouth for a moment.

“Orca is like that too. To be honest, in that guild, there were a lot more people helping than me.”

At the words of Eustes, who continued to humble herself, Perdia stopped her steps for a moment and looked at him.

When she stopped her steps her, Eusthes naturally had no choice but to stop her, and there was silence between the two of them.

“I evaluate you-no, I admit it. Eustes, Cleon-sama, and I. Obviously, my first impression may have been close to the worst. With your courage, you have made Elessia- my younger siblings’ nest. You kept your seat.”

Saying that, Ferdia clenched her fists and looked up at Eustes.

“For that, I really appreciate it. So don’t try to humble yourself like that. It’s rather an insult to those who trust you.”

When Perdia said that with concern, Eusthes opened her eyes wide for a moment, then smiled softly.

“You’re talking about something similar to Cleon… Thank you.”

“No. I just said what I wanted to say.”

Perdia thought so, but should I say that her personality has softened a little? Looking at Eustes, who feels like she has become weak, she hypothesizes.

The curse affects not only the body, but also the mind.

As soon as she begins to accept that she is a woman, her human mind slowly becomes feminine as well as the more feminine aspects of her appearance.

He wondered if Eustes had entered such a stage.

However, there was still a masculine side to him.

Is it the usual way of talking? Or attitude toward others. The greasy expression that gave strength to the eyebrows of her.

On the other hand, other body parts other than features and face – chest or waist. The same part as the buttocks.

And even though the gentle way of speaking that is sometimes shown was entirely that of a woman.

Eustes acts like a woman at times and like a man at times.

‘… Considering that the other patients are leaning towards one side or the other, it can be seen that his current condition his is quite unusual … Why?`

With that thought in mind, if I open the door to the room where the last patient of the day is.

There, she saw Rosaria, a woman with pale pink hair who was sitting on the bed and staring blankly out the window.

In response to the sound of the door opening, Rosalia tilts her head as she looks at the two of them.

“You are-“

“You are the new ‘Rosaria’ who came today. I am Eustes. I am in the same situation as you.”

“…Same situation. Then, you were originally a man… No, I think you can tell from the way you talk.”

Rosalia nods her head knowingly.

And naturally, her gaze turned to Persia standing next to Eustes.

“Ah- I’m a doctor who came to check on the condition of the victims in the monastery. My name is Perdia.”

“Miss Perdia… She’s small and cute…”

“…Yes?”

“Oh, no… Nothing.”

Perdia asked whether she had heard the wrong moment, but she did and she unknowingly asked back.

Rosalia hurriedly threw her face away and cleared her throat.

Eustes also meets her gaze with her with Perdia, perhaps because she felt strange, but she approaches her as if she does not understand.

“I heard from Liza that she lost her memory of her… It’s a big deal.”

“That, is that so? … I myself don’t know anything, so I feel like I have less burden on my heart than you guys…”

Rosalia blurts out her words as if she’s feeling guilty.

“Amnesia… Is it?”

Perdia also listened to her words and thought deeply.

There may be many causes of memory loss, but there are also many types of ways to treat it, and it was really unknown which one would work.

Applying physical shock is, of course, the worst thing to do, but even without that, there was psychological shock therapy.

Maybe it’s the curse of the succubus, so purifying the whole body with divine magic could be a way.

“…Is there any way? Ferdia.”

“Your own opinion is the most important, but… How is it, Ms. Rosalia? Do you want to recover her memories of her?”

Rosaria heard Perdia’s question and shut her mouth for a moment.

“…To be honest. I don’t know yet. The me I know is a woman who treats male customers at Changgwan… But, before that, I was a ‘man’. There are things I can’t quite imagine…”

There was a point in her words, so the two of them nodded.

`Memory` `Past` `Truth`

When those keywords stir up inside Rosaria, Rosaria suddenly wakes up. She seems to have been talking to her at a time like this-

Same, reminds me of ‘memory’.

“However-“

“…However?”

Okay. Obviously, it’s not her friend or colleague of hers, but her own one of hers…

“But… If I had a ‘family’… I would like to get my memories back, at least in order to meet that family.”

At Rosaria’s words, Eustes and Perdia looked at each other once more.

Soon after, Perdia nodded her head and looked back at Rosalia to check her pulse her.

“According to the explanation I heard from Iona-san, I heard that most of the victims were men who lived in the capital. If you want your memories to come back, how about chasing traces of your past self?”

“…Trace…”

When Rosaria repeats the word as if she is not sure, Perdia spreads her right index finger and speaks as if explaining.

“Yes. While walking around the capital, he visits the place where he lived or his living area. Because he has no memory. He should go around the capital as he has.”

“But, according to Liza-san, she can’t go outside until her body returns to normal …”

“Don’t worry about that part. People who know the situation will accompany you, and if you’re careful, you can go outside.”

When Eustes answered that way, Rosaria looked at Eustes.

“…Then, Eustes-san?”

“Sure. I’ll help if I can.”

Rosaria made a very happy expression at Eustes’ words.

Soon after, she breaks down and runs at Eustes.

Eustes, who was the same woman as her body her itself, stiffened her body her as if startled at the soft touch of hers touching his own body her.

Rosaria clung to Eustes and rubbed her body while talking to her.

“I have something to tell you.”

“…?”

“Now, even though I am a girl, I like girls.”

At the sudden coming out, neither Eustes nor Ferdia could say anything for a moment and opened her mouth.

Rosaria singing her hum her.

Eustes blushed a moment later, and she replied.

“I-I have someone else I like!”

“!? Could it be an Orca!?”

When Perdia responded, Eustes immediately denied it.

“No! Cleon-“

“…”

And oops Ferdia looked at Eustes, who had the same expression.

Her gaze was at first astonished, then convinced, then- quietly …

It was to change to the eyes of containment toward the ‘enemy’.

“Eustes-sama…”

Due to Perdia’s visit her, Eustes has an ominous feeling that her life in this monastery will become a little more complicated.

All she really thought was that she wanted Cleon to come back soon.
