Chapter 186 Party

The 29th day of training.

The day after Touko was kidnapped by Lily. As if yesterdays deadly battle was a lie, the mansion is truly peaceful.

Its so peaceful~

It sure is~

Its been almost a month since they got transferred to this world, and the unfamiliar environment of another world has been a series of hardships. Its been a long way to get here, but the days have been so rich that it feels as if theyve passed in an instant. Looking back on those past days, its rare to have a day with nothing happened like this.

Helping with housework, working as an administrator for the knight order, training together as a breather, and going to the counseling office. Theres no trouble-ish trouble. Chinatsu is earnestly enjoying this momentary peace today. As for Haruna, she is now helping Chinatsu in the counseling office to improve her Calculation skill.

(Well, if it werent for Deris-san, Shish, and Touko, this would be normal. Yep, the existence of troublemakers is big.)

Chinatsu suddenly thinks about such a thing after seeing off the first counselee today. She is uncertain about the safety of Touko who was taken away by Lily, but she decided not to think deeply since Touko probably wont die. Punishment is punishment, and the crime needs to be atoned for. As a person with common sense, Chinatsu thinks so.

(As for training her as a woman, well, thats on second thought, lets not think about it too much)

There are times when theres nothing she can do. With a slightly red face, Chinatsu shakes her head to brush off the thought. Following the flow, she also recalls about yesterdays underground training ground.

After Lily left, Aralkar regained her core and restarted. Haruna and Chinatsu were reflexively on guard, but she didnt seem to care about them and started to repair the damaged training ground. She took the broken rubble into her body, crushed it into small pieces, and reconstructed it. She used her body as a link to plaster the damaged walls and floors. Just like concrete that dried up, the flat pavement gradually hardened. Aralkar even finished repairing the iron door in such a way. By the time she returned to the back of the door, everything was back to normal. It was the appearance of the engineering slime.

I was wondering what to do with the tattered training ground, but Im really glad its fixed and that iron door too

Chinatsu-chan, whats wrong with you all of a sudden?

No, I just think that a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

?

In fact, the underground training ground has now regained its brilliance and is as good as new. Theres no rough spot no matter where you look, and its like the work of a professional. Nell probably would find out because of this, but its a hundred times better than showing her the destruction state. The cause was Aralkar, but they were the ones who started it, so Chinatsu is just grateful now. Thank you, former sixth rank-san. Chinatsu put her hands together in front of the iron door and thanked her. Namu namu.

By the way, did you meet Tachibana-san and the other girls that Touko-chan took out?

I went to greet them yesterday because I wanted to tell them that Touko is going to be away for a while. They sure are lively after leaving the castle.

Even though Touko is not here, the girls that she took out of the castle have their own lives. Leaving aside about Touko, Haruna seems to be worried about them.

There are five girls living in the community that Deris has prepared for them. Tachibana (level 4 fighter) and Asakura (level 3 chef) are members of the karate club headed by Touko, Kudou (level 4 magic swordsman) and Sae (level 3 merchant) belong to other club activities, and Oishi (level 3 hunter) is a glasses girl who belongs to go-home club.

Asakura-sans job is a chef, right? Then, I guess therell be no problem with their eating habits. I introduced the adventurer guild the other day when I went to see them, so I think they can earn living expenses normally.

Some of the girls have raised their level, so it seems that they can live normally. I wonder if they were trained by Touko?

A few days before Toukos disappearance, Haruna introduced them to the adventurer guild, and then they registered as adventurers. Since they were introduced by Haruna, the one whom the head of the guild has high expectations for, and they are all young girls, they were attracting attention in the guild.

Touko then became the leader and named the party. I didnt know there was such a custom because I basically act alone when taking a subjugation request.

The leader left immediately, though. Haha

The adventurer party in this world has a system of registering the party name in order to make the team name easier to recognize. If its just a temporary party, theres no need for a name. However, if you are teaming up with others regularly, registering the party name will make it easier to gain fame and get good works. By the way, it seems that the name of Toukos party is Flame Cat. Its said that it was named so because everyone is a cat person.

Party name, huh. Hmm.

Whats wrong?

Im thinking about what would be a good name if I and Chinatsu-chan were to form a party.

With me? Im not an adventurer, though

It seems that its okay to register as one even if you are the countrys soldier. Even Shish and Nell-san are still registered.

Eh, is that so?

Chinatsu is a little surprised since she was told that they had retired.

Well, its just that Gramps Gior didnt remove their registers and just left them on the document. He secretly told me about it the other day.

Haruna, you were shrewdly collecting amazing information, huh Um, they were adventurers, right? Did they have a party name?

Ah, I didnt hear that much Uhh, now Im curious. Chinatsu-chan, how about we go to the adventurer guild after the consultation work?

The party during the adventurer days of Deris and Nell. Chinatsu is wondering if its okay to look for their past, but shes actually curious too. Then, she carefreely accepted, thinking that its okay if its just the name.

Alright! Then, lets solve more of the worries of the lost lambs! Oohh!

Haruna, its good that you are motivated, but something like the answer you said a while ago is no good, okay?

At the consultation of Muno, the first troubled person today. He has some mixed feelings after he heard that Nell, the knight leader he respected and worshiped, is going to get married. He wants to congratulate her, but he also has hazy feelings. In response to his problem, Haruna almost proposed him to have a battle with the groom (Deris). The idea was if they exchanged blows on a riverbank under the evening sun, they will feel refreshed. Is that some kind of passionate story?

Considering Munos personality, Chinatsu quickly guessed that he probably would accept that proposition. Theres also a problem in Deriss personality, and itll be bad if its found out by Nell. Using her Fast Thinking, Chinatsu searched for the safest solution. She interrupted Harunas talk and changed the direction. She then proposed an alternative solution faster than Haruna, and it ended without incident.

Yes, Ill be careful!

If you understand, then its okay. Yep, today is peaceful~

This level of trouble is okay for Chinatsu. Rather, its calming.
