by volume 2
(Ahah, why does it sound like a man just like Bell-kun……)
Yes, just like that.
She found what was most suitable. When she tried to say it out, she finally understood.
If I could find a man just like Bell-kun, then it would be okay….ahhaha…, Eina finally got this conclusion in the end.
(……Huh)
Hey hey, she extended her hand towards this void space.
A person just like Bell, then——isn’t it already determined.
In a place where they was nothing, she blushed, in a place where no one was there, she “ahahahahaha!?” laughed by herself.
“Ah, it’s here, it’s here!”
Even though she was the only one who shouted, the heat on her face had not subsided. She walked and entered a two-floor high item shop that was constructed with jagged stones. The name written on the sign of the shop was
The reason for her to come here was in order to investigate the wine that the
Although there is a factor of only being able to select one of the remaining, but she was still suspicious of the unnatural act of selling little. Eina thought hard by herself and still could not reach a conclusion, so she wanted to come and investigate it herself.
(Compared to last time, it seems that the variety had increased?)
The clear crystal bottles that was harder than glass seems to be casually placed as it occupied the center of the shop. Eina turn her head around to look back and forth at the products high up.
There were many products placed onto the shelves. The blue liquid that was inside a flask that was round on the bottom was a recovery potion, the liquid in the slender tube was a antidote, and served inside the elegant bottle was the elixir……All of these were items from commercial-type
As long as it was a product from
After Eina roughly viewed the items that Adventurers use, she casually walked over towards the groceries area, which was indicated by the arrow mark inside the shop.
(WAAAA! They have it, they have it!)
Eina, who found the
What was placed on the wine shelf was a glass bottle without any decorations. The stuff inside was also transparent. Even if you were to look at it positively, it absolutely did not look like something that would taste good.
And under the situation where other wine still had many remaining,
(……
Looking at the white label that did not seem to have any motivation, Eina’s jade-colored eyes blinked instantly.
The name of the wine was the same as the Main God……Could it be that Soma, himself, named it?
Eina shook her head slightly while she prepared to call a shop employee to take out the product from the display box. At this point, she suddenly noticed the price.
60000 Varisu.
Don! Eina’s forehead hit the shelves.
(A….Ahhhhhhhh~~~~~~!? It is just only wine!?)
——Can’t believe it! It was more expensive than the entire set of Bell’s equipment!
Eina rubbed her forehead that was turning red while staring at
It was on par with the high-class Adventurer’s specially used items or equipment. It can also be said that it was even more expensive than that. Although it was by no means unattainable, but it is not something that a normal person can just “Hey, this one” and casually take it.
As a product for a hobby, the level difference was too big.
(T…The money I brought, there is no way I have that much…….)
Although the guild’s wage was in no way inferior than Adventurers, but it has not reached the point where you would carry 60000 Varisu around. Moreover, if she bought a bottle, Eina’s living fees would be cut down immensely. After all, she had even bought an armor as a present for Bell.
Standing in front of the wine shelf, Eina was suddenly caught in endless frustration.
“……Is it Eina?”
“Eh?”
A stern voice brushed through her ears. She heard someone call her name, Eina turned around.
Standing behind her was a tall elven beauty, even to a female.
The beautiful sparkling emerald-colored hair that seemed to extend all the way towards her waist was tied up into a bundle. The ears, which passed through the beautiful hair, seems to be pointed up like leaves. Even among the beautiful elves, this face can also be described as a divine and gem like beauty. It would not be wrong to say that she would be super popular.
She, who was wrapped by a never-ending awe-inspiring atmosphere, had a similar color eyes like Eina. No, it should be an even more clear jade-color.
This time, Eina was really surprised.
“R…Riveria-sama!?”
“As I expected, it was you……Long time no see, in the short period of time we have not met, you have become even more beautiful. I nearly did not recognize you”
Although it cannot yet be called a smile, but the corner of her mouth had gently bent. Towards Riveria Rios Alfr, Eina hurriedly became respectfully.
“I…I am deeply grateful! These words are too exaggerated, I deeply fear that…….!”
“……Do not use that tone. This is not our native home for elves. Speaking of which, you were not even born at our native home, there was no need to pay attention to that.”
“Although it is true, but my mother had taught me before that we should never forget and be reverence towards nobles…….”
“She actually taught something like this to Eina……That’s really sad, even though we were companions that left our native home together”
Fuuuu, she spat out what could be a charming sigh. Riveria cast a powerful sight towards Eina.
“Although it is necessary to master the ability to at least differentiate, but above that, it is unnecessary. I am annoyed of the cage-like atmosphere that comes from the bottom of my heart. If you wish to respect me, then please understand my feelings first.”
“H…How could it……”
Towards Riveria’s words that were mingled with coercion, Eina shuddered in fear.
Indeed, Eina was born in a city of freedom that opened the doors towards mixed races living together, and only had the knowledge about the native elf home……However, the person in front of her was from the royal family.
Half of her blood that flowed inside her body made her bow down.
“That said, there is no need for you to completely change your attitude. There is no need to be that sensitive towards it, that is what I am saying.”
“I…I understand……”
“Correct”
She nodded satisfactorily, but on the contrary, Eina still did not lay it down yet. Her eyebrows was twisted in a strange direction.
While pushing the words “I’ve really got to hand it to you” deep inside her heart, she was changing her own consciousness, and once again, she was able to become happy.
When she was small, Eina had returned to her hometown repeatedly, but she did not see Riveria.
Although when Eina had entered the guild and due to her work, she quickly knew about the existence of Riveria. However, because of the work arrangements, it became difficult for them to meet up.
Although it was not impossible to meet, she had always been afraid and was hesitant.
“Being spirited is good enough. I did not expect you to work at the guild”
“Sorry, I originally wanted to contact you…….”
“Don’t worry. I had been diving into the dungeon every day after coming to this city. There was no time to care about other things. Delaying thi
ngs until now”
Riveria elegantly nodded. Although Eina had also grew up through the influence of her mother’s good conduct, she still could not compare to her, who was born from the royal family. The dimensions were too far apart.
“Riveria-sama, why are you here?”
“Nothing much, I had used up my items in the exploration a few days ago. I am replenishing it.”
“Can’t Riveria-sama use Healing Magic……If I can ask this, isn’t it too silly”
“Ahah. After all, Magic is not almighty. If it is a situation where I could use items, I would not consider to use Magic. What about Eina?”
“Ah”
She remembered her own goal when she was asked. Under Riveria’s urge “Tell me”, Eina hesitated a little and tried to not involve the information of investigating about the
She made the judgment that it was to avoid unnecessary gossip about a member of the guild specially investigating a certain faction.
“Ho, this wine is it. A lot of people in my
“Eh……A…Ahh, Riveria-sama? Among the people who enjoys drinking this wine, is there any particular symptoms that showed up a little, such as dependency issues or similar?”
“If you want me to say it, I think everybody who drinks wine is abnormal……but there is no one that acts beyond the ordinary. Why do you ask this kind of thing?”
“That……Yes, although a friend had recommended this wine, but I heard that
A way of speaking that mixed a tiny bit of truth into it. Just asking about the contents of the past was indeed a good strategy. Perhaps asking Riveria, she may be able to get an unexpected reward.
“I see. Indeed, I heard that
“Riveria-sama, do you know anything?”
She was slightly looking forward to it, her voice even sounded slightly excited.
There was no success.
Towards Eina, Riveria closed one of her eyes and stared.
Nnnn, Eina was stumped. This was bad, she thought.
Riveria was very sharp. She could easily see through the secrets inside the inner heart and then following it to understand the real intentions of the other. When she was small, as long as she was in front of her, she could not hide any secrets.
The fact that she was investigating
While Eina was in cold sweat, she waited for Riveria’s response.
“……Forget it. Unfortunately, what I know about that
“I…Is that so”
Did she let her go, Eina, who was not further inquired, rubbed her chest.
Riveria only just temporarily looked at her, then she began to talk.
“Although I am not clear……but I do know a person who understands clearly about that faction”
“……Eh?”
“Want to come along? To my
× × ×
A long lodging house.
If you had to use words to describe it, you would call it like this.
(Although I have heard of the rumors……As expected of one of Orario’s top exploration
In the north most area of Orario, beside a street that was a little bit far away from the Main Street Area.
A long and large hall was built roughly on the land. The tall towers seem to be overlapping each other like a forest, and complementing each other. The top of each tower formed a flower frog.1
Although the red copper colored hall’s height was far less than Babel, but it was still to the extent where staring at it would be painful to your neck. The top of the highest central tower stained the sunset slightly green.
It was as if it was a house built from pieces of fire.
This was the expression most appropriate for it.
“Riveria-san, welcome back”
“Excuse me, this is……a member of the guild?”
“This girl is my friend. I hope you can bend the rules a bit”
After explaining to the male and female guards, Eina and Riveria passed through the door of the hall.
Although the two of them standing together looked like sisters, but truthfully, their age difference was definitely more than doubled.
Among the demi-races, elves could be considered as a race with a long life.
“About this, it might be too late to say it……But is this really okay?”
“What happened?”
“Allowing me, who belong to the guild, to enter the headquarters……If
“If you won’t do it, then don’t say it, Eina. If you have ulterior motives, then I would not invite you in the first place. Or are you insulting me in a roundabout way?”
“N…No. That’s not the case……”
She slightly recalled her childhood scene, while Eina was brought inside the hall into the reception room.
The room, that used an orange-yellow color, gave off a calm feeling and was facing the hallway. Several sets of seemingly expensive sofas and cross-placed round tables were configured around. Compared to using a high-class studio to describe it, this reception room seems more like a room where friends gathered.
Just by seeing this space, it feels like she was able to experience the atmosphere within
(Eh, not bad, I want to look around a bit more……Nnnnn?)
While Eina looked around the room, a scene entered her view. Looking at the back of the armchair. A group of golden colored things were lying alone onto the back of the chair.
No, it was a person’s head. Long golden hair poured out from the armrest.
A person was sitting on the chair, she twisted her slender neck and slowly looked over to Eina’s side.
Soon Eina gasped.
“Welcome back, Riveria”
“Ahah, I’m back. Aizu”
A beautiful girl that was younger than Eina.
Delicate facial features that was filled with gentleness and the eye-catching awe-inspiring body lines. Also, the beautiful golden eyes seemed to be crystal-clear, and could only be described as spotless.
Inside her body, there indeed coexists sublime battle spirit and adorable childishness.
Just as Eina had previously said to herself, she was a beauty that others could not help but sigh.
Aizu Wallenstein.
Bell’s crush, a golden-haired, golden-eyed Adventurer.
“That person……Is who?”
“Ah……I…I am”
“A person that is just like my relative. The two of you also should do a simple greeting.
Being urged to self-introduce herself. Aizu looked directly at Eina and clearly said her name.
Aizu, who was not wearing any equipment, seemed like a lady that was nurtured in the greenhouse. The pure white dress wrapped along her skinny body gave off a strong impression of her being delicate. Even her boobs, that could only be regarded as average, seemed to be slightly bigger.
The pure white bare foot, that was not bounded, seemed to be as smooth as snowflakes dripping down.
……I can’t calm down.
Although she felt sorry to Aizu, but Eina still thought like this. Even though the two parties did not meet each other directly, the feeling of the dilemma of Bell and Aizu still came.
Despite her being somewhat stiff, Eina still sat down together with Riveria facing Aizu around the table.
“Aizu, did you replenish the items you consumed? 10 days later, there will be another expedition”
“Yes……I’ll go tomorrow.”
Aizu, who was sitting on the chair hugging her knees, quietly muttered. Her voice, that was like the shaking of wind chimes, echoed.
While facing the same thing
a long time ago, Riveria, who seemed as if she was looking at her own child, was slightly surprised. Eina could not help but quietly ask about a thing that she was concerned about from the beginning.
“That, Riveria-sama”
“What is it?”
“Do you not think that Wallenstein-san is slightly depressed?”
From the body of the girl that had half her face buried under the white cloth fabric near her knees, you could feel that she was somewhat not spirited. Her long golden-hair also bowed down depressingly.
Even Eina, who had never met her before, was able to detect it to this extent. That was how depressed she was.
Towards Eina’s inquiry, Riveria revealed a rare laughter sound.
“What, it seems like a male that she was concerned about for a while now had escaped”
Isn’t it very interesting, Riveria continued to tremble, but this was not something that Eina could laugh at. “Huh……” The hand she was holding her forehead slightly began to hurt.
Looks like the spring for her cute little brother will temporarily be impossible.
Must hide it from Bell, Eina decided to seal the thing she heard today inside her heart.
“……Riveria-sama. It is almost time, about the matter that I mentioned earlier……”
“Ahah, sorry. Let’s call her here”
Riveria, who was laughing lively, brought her hand into the bag she carried.
What she took out was, that
“About that, Riveria-sama? Aren’t you going to call someone……?”
“Leaving here to search will be very troublesome. Ultimately, there is a possibility that we will not be able to find her. Letting her come to us is the right choice”
Ignoring Eina’s puzzled face, Riveria took the cork of the wine that she purchased ——By submitting an application to
Soon, the sweet and unique smell, that did not seem like wine, overflowed through the entire reception room.
“Waaaa……What a refreshing smell”
“Fumu. Although I have long been accustomed to the smell, but still”
Eina, who was temporarily immersed in the fragrance, unconsciously took the glass that Riveria delivered. When she noticed that she let her, who was royalty, to pour for her, she almost fainted on the scene.
