'"Alessia... Alessia... Alessia..."'

'"Mm?"'

'"I'm leaving. I might not be back all night."'

'"...okay"'

'After making love in our room, Alessia fainted from pleasure. But since I have things to do, I woke her up to say goodbye.'

'"I left you a present on the nightstand. Make sure you see it when you wake up."'

'"Mn, okay"'

'Being half asleep, her vocabulary is quite limited. It seems she will respond with 'Mn' or 'Mn, okay' to anything I say to her. She looks adorable, so I don't care about her responses. Let her keep it up.'

'I say her goodbye with a kiss on the forehead, and then cast the Space Travel magic.'

'***'

'"Then... Do you want me to make a spear using this [Protective Bone]?"'

'"Yes" I nodded.'

'"Won't you want a coffee too?"'

'"Hmm, okay" I nodded.'

'Erick: ''..."'

'- It was irony!'

'I'm currently in the capital at Erick's blacksmith shop. This time I got lucky. At the entrance to the capital, there were Knights marked with blue dots. So, without hesitation, I went to them and paid the entrance fee.'

'Erick looks at Jack and nods to him. The latter nods and then returns with a coffee in hand.'

'Wow, even though I knew Erick meant it ironically, he brought me a coffee. He's too good. I'm afraid someday I'll meet a bad person and get ripped off.'

'"Do you think you can do it?"'

'This time, I said it in a serious tone. If he replies with a negative, then I'll call it a day and buy a normal spear.'

'"Haa... I'll have to give it a try. A mistake might happen, and the materials might break in the process, so you've been warned."'

'"It will be a pity if that happens, but it's okay. I understand that it shouldn't be easy to make a weapon with loot as a material."'

'Loots are not minerals that can be melted and then molded, so the process is much more bizarre and magical from what Erick told me. Of course, it will be incredibly expensive... But if successful, there's a good chance the spear will possess three empty slots and be stronger than any other.'

'While drinking coffee, at some point the conversation changed the subject, and we talked about Knights.'

'"The rumors of Knights forcing Adventurers to go to war is already something known to everyone. Recently, the Knight Order gave a statement where it regrets the facts, and that it promises that those involved will be punished." and, smiling a little, he adds "I don't think they will be punished. But, with this, there won't be Knights doing such actions again. In other words... You and Alessia will be able to return to the capital sooner than you originally thought."'

'I see. That's why I was able to enter through the wide gate without being stopped.'

'I don't deny that being able to return to the capital is truly a dream I want to see come true. But it won't be that easy. It is illogical to think that, because the Knight Order gave a communique, all the Knights will stop immediately. I will have to wait a while until the waves calm down.'

'Finishing my coffee, I get up from my seat and say goodbye to Erick.'

'"I'm a little busy now. I'll come back another day for the spear. There is no need to rush"'

'"Good, good. Come with Alessia next time," He said with a smile.'

'"Yes, I will... Ah, by the way, I freed Alessia from her slavery. So, from now on, treat her the same as me."'

'"Huh?!" He said surprised.'

'"Goodbye" I waved my hand in farewell.'

'"Hey! Don't leave me curious!"'

'Smiling, I leave the smithy without another word and then get on my horse.'

'This is the same horse that I bought in Danes City, and which is usually in Delia's care in the Solitary Temple. While it costs to push it through the illusory gate, it wasn't as much as the first time.'

'And as for Alessia... I didn't free her. I just hid her slavery in the status. But since only she and I know about it, I decided to lie to Erick for Alessia's sake. When she finds out, I feel I will increase my points a lot with her.'

'"Giddy up!"'

'Much faster than a carriage, I rode through the streets and avenues of the city. This time, the horse performed better. It must be because the terrain is flat, which has made its job much easier.'

'In a few minutes, I arrive before the adventurers' guild.'

'After leaving the horse tied up nearby, I enter and make my way to an unoccupied receptionist.'

'"I want to know if my mission has been accepted."'

'"Understood, please give me your details..."'

'After handing over the mission number and corroborating my identity through a magic object, the lady nods and speaks again.'

'"A Warrior accepted the mission. According to the information you handed in, he should be around in about 30 minutes."'

'"30 minutes... Could you leave him a note?"'

'"Yes, what do you want to tell him?"'

'"I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of the Bajamira labyrinth."'

'"It has been noted down. As soon as he arrives, I will let him know your message."'

'"Thank you"'

'Leaving the guild, I get on my horse and ride in the direction of the nearest exit.'

'Minutes later, I manage to ride out of the capital and find myself far enough away to cast magic.'

'"... Space Travel" The illusory door appears in front of us.'

'"Giddy up!... ... Giddy up!... Giddy up..."'

'Emir: "..."'

'I got off the horse and, through the reins, forced it through the gate. The only good thing about all this is that, this time, it didn't put up too much resistance.'

'After creating a custom marker on its blue dot, I left the horse grazing in the vicinity of the Solitary Temple. Then, I recited the magic spell to teleport me to another location...'

'"Ahwawa! I can never get used to the sudden appearance of that gate!"'

'"Anyone would be surprised." I smiled.'

'The one standing in front of me is Delia.'

'How was I able to travel directly to her without attracting attention? It's simple. I do it through the tent that belongs to her. This should be used as her temporary housing, but now it has become the perfect hideout to come and find my fox girl.'

'"Are you ready?"'

'"Mn, we can leave at any time" she nodded.'

'"Well... ... ... ... Space Travel."'

'Again, an illusionary door appears in the center of the tent, and I'm the first one going through it to avoid Victor seeing me. Supposedly, we are traveling through an unaffiliated [Traveler]. So, it will be very strange if he sees me here.'

'"Victor, I'm leaving. You can stop standing guard at the entrance, go rest."'

'"You are the one who should go to rest, Miss Emilia. You have been working all this time. I'll leave someone else to look after your tent tomorrow. You'll be back, right?"'

'"Mn, I will. Bye, take care!"'

'"Likewise, miss."'

'After finishing her conversation, Delia walked through the illusory door and appeared in front of me. During all this time, I could only hear what happened behind the door, but I couldn't see anything through it.'

'This is a grand discovery. If I can use it wisely, it can be very useful.'

'"Emir... You look pale," she said worriedly.'

'"Yes?"'

'I concentrated on my own body, looking for the cause of the problem... And when I quickly understood why this was happening, I withdrew an MP potion from my inventory and drank it in full. The next second, my body was back to normal.'

'"Now your skin is back to its normal shade," she said, relieved.'

'"Lack of MP, I've done a lot of traveling without proper rest... Speaking of which, you look tired. Did you rest when Victor ordered you to?"'

'"Mn! I took a lot of breaks and MP potions throughout the day. In fact, I feel very energetic!" She raised her arms to highlight her muscles, indicating that she has strength to spare.'

'Seeing her like that, I couldn't help but smile. Delia indeed looks a little tired. I can tell by the movement of her body and the tone of her voice, but she's not lying either. Her eyes have a special light in them, the same as you can see in the soldiers who protect their nation.'

'She may be tired, but she has a vitality like never before.'

'Seeing the words above her head, I couldn't help but smile again.'

'[Emilia] [Priestess Lvl 17] [Saint Lvl 5] [Adventurer Lvl 13] [Believer Lvl 17] [Lancer Lvl 16]'

'The Saint class leveled up.'

'This is an event whereby the Solus Temple would hold a ceremony on her behalf, where all the most prestigious nobles would attend to give their congratulations to the Saint in question.'

'I'm sure Delia wouldn't be interested in such a thing, so...'

'"Hehehehe.'"

'"Good girl, good girl.'"

'I stroked her head.'

'"Deer, bear, or rabbit?"'

'Delia: "!!!!"'

'Delia: "Deer!"'

'With a few words, we decided what we would eat for our dinner.'
