Chapter 604 – Episode 604 – Happy Meeting!

◈-Lant SIDE

“Miss Lelia… Is she running away?”

“Yes, I was too dull. Lelia, I don’t know if that child is suffering so much… Rant-sama, please. Please find Lelia.”

I nodded right away and said.

“Okay. And High Priestess Maren didn’t do anything wrong. Rather, it was my fault for asking her to keep the meeting a secret, saying it would surprise her.”

If you think about it, that could be enough.

While she is 32 years old, she has seen many confrontations, but all have failed and Ms. Lelia has accumulated a lot of stress so far.

There was room for her anger to explode at any time.

She quickly felt that she wanted to find Mr. Lelia and apologize.

“Priestess Maren, when did Lelia run away from home?”

“Yesterday. After Lelia ran out of the front in her stead. After hearing that she had gone out of the brush, she ordered the 13th Sightseeing Corps to search for it, but she couldn’t find it…”

Speaking of the 13th Knights, it was the Knights that Lelia-san was in charge of.

Lelia-san is in charge, so it must be a gathering of quite talented people.

If even those people can’t be found by mobilizing them, it’s clear that Lelia-san is really determined and hiding.

“I’ll go find it right away. High Priestess Maren, please wait in peace.”

“Thank you, Mr. Rant.”

To High Priest Maren, who bowed her head toward me, I patted her chest and said,

“What? I’m on my way to find someone to be my woman, of course.”

And I immediately left the high priest’s office and stopped at a store to get ready, then went out of the brush and used telekinetic power to fly in the sky and look around, thinking.

It was only yesterday that Lelia-san ran away.

Then she wouldn’t have gone very far.

If I had come here with my body, I would have immediately created a large number of duplicates and found Lelia-san.

But what is here right now is an alter ego.

No matter how much it is in the country, it is difficult to find Mr. Lelia who does not know where he is in the present state.

If so, there is only one way.

He was hoping for a new skill to find Lelia-san.

I closed my eyes and longed for the skill to find Lelia.

Woo woo woo!

Inspiration came down

The name of the skill is Mana Search.

It’s a skill that Tikia-san has had since she was born.

This skill allows you to feel the magic around you, and you can even tell who your opponent is by using your magic power.

And the range of detecting magic power is proportional to the user’s magic power.

In other words.

“Ha!”

If I use it, I can survey the magic around me in a wide range.

Centered on me floating in the sky, the range of mana search spreads at high speed.

In my head, I feel the creatures around me with magical powers.

Not only animals, but also bugs, plants, and people living in the brush.

I can feel the magic of many people.

First of all, I didn’t care about those magical powers, and I continued to expand the range.

Widening, widening, widening, excluding useless magical powers, only the magical powers that I seek.

I search for the magical power of Lelia-san, whom I have seen many times.

“… Ah, I found it.”

I could feel Lelia’s magical power over her.

I immediately flew to where Mr. Lelia was.

The place where Mr. Lelia was was by the stream, quite far from Sol.

He didn’t have telekinesis like me, but he to come all this far alone.

It must have been running with tremendous momentum like my muscle carriage.

Looking closely, Lelia was squatting near the creek, her face buried in his lap her.

Just looking at it, it looks very sad.

Deciding to talk slowly first, I went downstairs.

◈-Relia SIDE

Ah… I did it.

No matter how emotional he was, High Priestess Maren did nothing wrong.

To run out while complaining so pathetically.

When I came to my senses, I came to this stream before I knew it.

I’m really stupid.

Ha ha… , So there will be no men yet.

Should I go back…

No, but High Priestess Maren must have mobilized her men to find me after I ran out.

Neither my subordinates nor High Priestess Maren would have known that I had fled this far.

That’s because I came to my senses and I was here! Rather, where is this?!

What a crazy run!

“AA AA AA…”

I feel so pathetic about myself that my head is about to explode.

Growl.

“…”

However, the human body is hungry no matter how depressed it is.

It was around noon when I ran out of Sol, and I hadn’t eaten yet.

And since I ran around until night like this, it was only natural that I would be hungry.

I took out the portable jerky from my inventory and chewed it carefully before swallowing it.

“…Now.”

It’s already late at night, and if you try to go back now, it’s dark and you don’t know the way.

You should be able to illuminate the surroundings with your skills, but… To be honest, I didn’t want to go back right now.

I set up a simple tent in my inventory and cut down nearby trees to make firewood and gathered them all in one place.

Then he gathered his mana and started a fire using basic flame magic.

Finally, I took out a blanket, put it on my body, and went to sleep in a simple tent.

The next morning.

Having breakfast moderately and with beef jerky, I couldn’t get out of the stream.

The sun has already risen, so if you walk moderately, you will find a road familiar to your eyes, so you can go back to solo.

But even when I thought I had to go back, my feet didn’t come off at all.

“Ah ah ah ah ah…”

Know.

I’m pissed right now

You’re getting angry for nothing.

That’s why my body doesn’t move so childishly.

“This is why there are no men…”

Even if I said it myself, I let out words that made my heart thump, and I crouched down and buried my face in my knees.

“Should I just live leisurely like this? Yes, I’ve been working hard up until now. It’s time to retire. My subordinates have been well educated, so they’ll do well without me. Yes, originally, I made a manual in preparation for my retirement after I got married. It’s gone, but…”

Hesitatingly spit out words like escapism from reality.

I know it myself.

This is just a temporary measure to put my mind at ease.

I did this every time the line of confrontation was broken.

While grumbling alone, accept the reality and go back to your normal routine.

This time too, in the end, I will go back to solo after talking to myself a lot.

That was when I was thinking about it.

I saw the sign of something coming down from the sky, so I looked straight up.

“What… ?! Rae, Rae, Rant-sama!?”

Rant-sama was coming down this way.

Uh, why!?

Why is Rant-sama here!?

“Miss Lelia.”

Mr. Rant came down and called me.

“Rye, Lant-sama… Uh, why are you here…”

“I was asked by High Priestess Maren.”

“Ah…”

High Priestess Maren… It seems that you even contacted Lant-sama on purpose to find me.

It should be easy to ask since she’s already like Mr. Rant’s woman.

Ah, thinking about that makes me feel down again, and for some reason, a feeling of discomfort arises.

Really stupid

I have no qualifications to feel this way.

“Sorry for bothering you.”

“No. This much is not a big deal.”

It’s a request from High Priestess Maren, who will become her woman her, so it’s no big deal.

Alas, really.

Why am I thinking like this

You can’t think crookedly like this.

No matter how much it was High Priest Maren’s request, Lant came to find me.

… At the request of High Priestess Maren.

“Lelia-san, first…”

“I don’t like it.”

The stupid feelings start flowing again.

“Yes?”

“I’m not going back.”

Childish emotions make me like a child.

“No matter what Rant says, I’m not going back to solo!”

“Miss Lelia?”

“I’m fed up with dating now! I’m tired of looking for a man! The flower garden of my life has withered away!”

“Geez, calm down, Ms. Lelia. I’m not asking you to go back right away. Talk. Yes, talk.”

“I don’t like it! Rant-nim, who is at the peak of popularity anyway, doesn’t know my heart!”

Really i’m stupid

Why are you taking out your anger on Mr. Rant, who is innocent?

Lant-sama, embarrassed by my appearance of his, reached for the inventory at his waist of his and took out a bottle of alcohol.

“Alcohol! Yes, let’s talk while drinking! Ms. Lelia, you liked this drink!”

“That, that’s…?!”

The alcohol I often drink at the Adventurer’s Guild!?

In an instant, my mouth waters.

I’ve been feeling down lately, so I wasn’t in the mood to drink properly.

Is it because she exploded her feelings for High Priestess Maren yesterday?

The alcohol in front of me was very strong.

“Is this what Lelia-san likes? She has a lot in her inventory of her. Let’s have a drink here and relax.”

“Rant… Sir.”

He obviously bought that drink for me on purpose.

Come to think of it, when I meet Lant-sama, there are many times when I look drunk.

And when I’m drunk, Lant-sama never gets tired of it and always listens to me by my side.

Really… He has a really good personality.

Originally, they would have grown tired of it, fed up with it, or neglected it.

If Rant… What if you were my man

Maybe stop drinking right away and be sweet?

Mr. Rant is building a harem, but if he honestly loves me, he doesn’t care if he loves another woman or not.

However… That would be impossible

Those 3 days.

The proof is that nothing happened.

Ah, if I were to drink now, this inner feeling.

I’m going to cry and blow and pour out all these vain hopes.

… I know the numbers too.

There are also things I don’t want to tell you.

So, no matter how good the drink is.

Even if my mouthwatering flows out without my knowledge.

Even thinking about it myself, I didn’t want to confide this kind of regret to Lant-sama.

“That’s it… I refuse… I’ll do it.”

Good!

Said!

You said it right!

No amount of alcohol can move my heart right now!

Rant-nim pulled something else out of his inventory.

“There are also snacks.”

“Eww!?”

That’s a set of nut snacks that are perfect to go with that drink!

That, that, that kind of rain, cowardly tactics… !

My, I got the wrong person, Mr. Rant!

“Gulp…”

No.

You can’t keep looking at that!

My body, which hasn’t been drinking or snacking for weeks, is trying to move on its own!

“Ugh!”

Quack!

I took the sword out of my inventory and drove it into the ground.

“Miss Lelia?”

“Lant-sama…You’re using such a mean move.”

“Yes? Messi?”

“I know I say weird things. Yes, I’m being very childish right now. My emotions have exploded so much that I can’t help myself. To be honest, the alcohol and snacks that Mr. Rant showed me! I really I want to drink! I want to eat!

All this resentment! I want to shake it off! But now I’m sober! I know it wholeheartedly! If I drink it now, I’m sure I’ll look even worse for Lant-sama than I am now!”

“I don’t care…”

“I care! Even when I’m old enough… I’m a woman too. I don’t want to see that kind of thing from a man… Who had even the slightest hope.”

“Then let’s go solo together. Even if we don’t drink, we can have a meal together and talk…”

“I don’t like it because it’s embarrassing to leave such a mess and go back! High Priestess Maren has no face to see!”

“Umm…”

“So… So Rant-sama!”

I pulled out my sword and pointed it at Rant-sama.

“I know it’s an absurd and absurd request! Please fight me! I don’t think I’ll be able to relieve this pathetic feeling if I don’t move like a fuss!”

If you can’t drink alcohol and feel down, it’s better to move your body vigorously.

This is one of the truths I have learned through my many missions.
