Seeing Elsie running around makes me feel good.

Even in urgent moments like now.

I used to stop Elsie every time she tried to run away, but she was the most beautiful when she was running around like she is now.

When I see white hair blowing in the wind, I think of a healthy running colt. As if it was born to run on the earth and just live that way.

It was a shame that I couldn’t see that hair now because of the mask.

Sometimes, I wonder if I’m really doing the right thing by trying to restrain Elsie. She’s always been a child who likes to live freely, but trying to keep her in my arms… … .

“Intruder—Oops.”

Elsie ran up to the last of the guards in front of us and stuck a tap into his neck, and he immediately lost consciousness.

“… … Where did you learn that?”

When I got closer and asked that, Elsie thought for a moment and said,

“Hmm… … .I haven’t learned anything in particular. Maybe it’s because I had to figure out the body structure of animals while hunting?”

I answered so simply.

As expected, it was an answer befitting the people of Delki City, who live by dominating nature itself. Of course, Elsi is a descendant of somewhat unique beings who lived ‘together’.

“I can hear people coming.”

“Let’s move quickly.”

That’s what Elsie responded to Adele’s words.

“I will follow from the back. I will use flash magic when necessary, so please respond appropriately.”

“Yes!”

Elsie responded happily to my words.

“After saving Diane, Adele, Diane, and me and Amelia will run together.”

“Yes, I remember.”

“And the person going up there is also Adele.”

At Elsie’s words, Adele looked up at the top of the outbuilding.

The outbuilding was a neat building on the outside. The royal castle was shaped like a pile of large stones, so it seems like Elsi was able to climb on it, but the outbuilding had a smooth exterior because white plaster was applied on top of the bricks. It looked like it wouldn’t be easy to climb up by crawling on it.

“Aren’t there people in the outbuilding?”

“Oh, there’s nothing to worry about.”

When Adele spoke as if she was a little worried, Elsie responded.

I imagined Elsie taking the lead and taking care of the security, but—

“… … What about that?”

When Elsie rolled up her arms, a blue rope appeared, wrapped around her arms.

No, when I looked again, it wasn’t a rope. The outside was too smooth to be a rope made by weaving several strands together.

Just like a single plant.

The ivy-like plant fell from Elsie’s arms, fell down, and began to wriggle.

“Nerve tendrils?”

“Nerve tendrils?”

As I muttered, Adele tilted her head.

Elsie smiled at both of us and planted the vine a little away from the wall.

And he used his abilities towards the roots.

The vine, rooted in the ground, slowly rose upward.

… … Is it just my mood? It seems like it’s gotten a lot bigger than the last time I saw it?

“There it is! It’s an intruder over there!”

It seemed that reinforcements had already arrived while Elsie had not yet completely finished her work.

I concentrated my magic power in my hands.

“Elsie, Adele.”

When I called the two people, they both closed their eyes tightly.

… … It was just my mood, but Elsie seemed to laugh a little this time too.

I closed my eyes and exploded my magic power.

“Ugh!”

“The magician… … !”

I suddenly saw something bright in a dark situation, so people’s eyes were completely blocked. I was covering my eyes with one hand, so there wasn’t a big problem.

Probably the other two—

Coo thump.

… … ?

I heard something unusual, so I opened my eyes and—

“The magic and timing were perfect.”

Elsie smiled and said that to me.

Elsie’s hands were glowing green enough to be clearly visible even in the dark.

“L—”

Before I could even call Elsie,

“Uh, kya, kyaaa!?”

Adele was rising as if she had been launched high up.

A tendril of nerves was growing upwards, holding onto Adele’s waist.

“It looks like it can’t grow without light.”

As I was looking up at the annex with my mouth open, Elsie said that.

“When on earth did you do research?”

“I’ve been thinking about it for the past few days. If they grow like this, they seem to reproduce by stems. After experimenting with the growth speed, I thought it was possible.”

“… … But, if we leave this as is, won’t they immediately realize that we did it?”

Well, I’m sure Count Hoover will eventually realize what we did. Still, I hope no material evidence is left behind.

“Krrr… … .”

But there was no time to worry about such things.

The wolves we had ridden in—seemingly strange horses with mouths below their necks—were making growling noises.

“Wait a minute.”

Elsie grinned and picked up the wooden sword. It was a strong wooden sword made from Delchisi wood, which was said to not break easily.

“I’ll take care of it first.”

… … You look really excited.

What can I say, seeing Elsie running wild like that really makes me feel like I don’t care.

When this is over, should I just run away with Elsie?

*

When I was launched upward, I felt my heart pounding, but I was able to calm down a little after confirming that my waist was being held securely.

That’s right. Adele had to work hard to manage her expression in this situation.

Wasn’t he a knight who came to rescue a loved one? If such a person comes up with a distorted face, the picture doesn’t come to life.

It’s like a human instinct to want to look good in front of someone you like.

The plant called nerve vine somehow knew how to lead Adele towards the window.

“Ah, I see.”

When I think about it again, this was the only place where light came out of this dark place.

Looking through the window, I saw Diane and the maid with their ears pressed to the door.

Adele’s heart was pounding.

“Thank you.”

I patted the nerve tendril that had brought me here and tried to say that, but the person I was dealing with was a plant. I couldn’t tell if he could hear sounds or not, so I wasn’t sure if he understood my thanks.

Adele took a deep breath, then exhaled.

smart.

When Adele knocked on the window, their faces turned towards us at the same time.

Diane’s eyes widened.

Diane quickly ran to the window, opened it, and tried to let Adele in, who was squatting on the slightly protruding window frame.

But before Adele went inside, she grabbed Diane’s cheeks.

Then, while squatting by the window, he stole Diane’s lips.

“Ugh!?”

Diane seemed embarrassed at first, but soon all the strength left her body.

Adele entered the room step by step, but did not let go of Diane.

Diane’s arm wrapped around Adele’s waist. Adele also let go of Diane’s cheek and held Diane’s back with one hand and the back of Diane’s head with the other hand.

As deep and deep as I haven’t been able to do in a long time.

So that you can hear a squishing sound.

“Puha!”

When Adele finally let go of Diane, Diane barely exhaled and pulled her face back slightly.

Diane was crying. Her eyes were bloodshot and her cheeks were a little red.

Adele decided to think they were tears of joy.

side.

Adele kissed Diane’s cheek and hugged her tightly.

Diane also clung to Adele without saying a word.

“… … Huh.”

Until the maid who was watching the scene finally couldn’t bear it anymore and cleared her throat to get attention.

… … It wasn’t a good situation to confess my love.

But even when Adele let go, Diane didn’t try to get away from Adele.

I didn’t say anything. Diane just clung to me like she wanted to stay like this.

“Are you Lady Carlins?”

“Yes, that’s right. Are you Becky by any chance?”

“Yes.”

The person dressed as a maid greeted Adele politely. Judging by the fact that she wasn’t too embarrassed in the current situation, it seems like a professional is a professional.

“As you said, we have made all the preparations. The door is securely blocked so that people outside cannot enter, and we have also prepared a letter.”

“Thank you. Then… … Right now I have to remove the items in front of the door, but can you help me a little?”

“I see.”

“Adele?”

Diane Dee Dee opened her mouth.

“Why are you cleaning up the things in front of the door?”

“We have to show that we broke down in a hurry to make it more persuasive that we left the letter. We have to make it as if we missed it because we were in a hurry to leave.”

“In that case, I think it would be a better idea to drop it near the outbuilding rather than leaving it in the room.”

Maid: At Becky’s words, Adele nodded.

“I will follow the advice of someone with more experience in this area.”

After hearing Adele’s words, Diane clung to Adele tighter.

Adele loved that body temperature so much.
