Black Iron Magician

Chapter 398: Goodbye!

Chapter 398 Goodbye!

After a hellish moment, I escaped the crisis. I kept eating with Haru, so I felt a little sick. However, it was definitely better than blurting out something again. If I leave it to my drunkenness and say something irresponsible, I could no longer guarantee the safety from my neck and above. Knowing that alcohol is a scary thing, I chose the courage to retreat.

…… Let’s stop talking about that. I myself was a little shocked. Why did I say those shitty words? Ah, let’s forget it. I want to forget it.

?Everyone, welcome to my house~??

In contrast to my negative mode, Satella, who seems to be in a good mood from the alcohol she has been consuming, is in a cheerful mood. Is she that happy to invite acquaintances to her house?

So, the reason we came to Satella’s house is, of course, to return to the Jiba continent with Weerel. The teleportation magic that Satella used to bring Weerel here could be activated regardless of distance, as long as the smell can be used as a catalyst. However, Weerel is not in Adelheit, and only her smell remains there. In this case, it seems that the difficulty is higher than when she was brought here, and it’s necessary to match the places. Well, in this case, the places are Satella’s house and the place where Weerel and Therese were having a dinner party.

?Please help yourself~ ??

I’m grateful that she even served tea and snacks, but I’m a little worried about whether she can properly use the difficult teleportation magic in that state. I hope she won’t send us to Snowtail’s snowy mountains by mistake. I’ve had enough of mountain-related stuff.

?Um, Satella-san…. You seem strangely excited…. Are you sure it’s going to be okay…??

Weerel asked the question on behalf of me, who became quiet due to my previous offense.

?Hmm~, I wonder about that~. Well, the number of people has increased and it has become even more difficult, but I have left behind the feeling of tension by alcohol, so it will probably be fine~ ?. After all, my teleportation magic is the best in the world~ ?. My hands are shaking from drunkenness, but the axis of the destination is unshakeable~ ??

?Crap, I’m really worried…?

?I wonder if it’s okay to leave behind that feeling of tension…??

?Deris, let’s think of the countermeasures in case we got teleported to the sky or into the sea. In the worst case, we may end up scattered in different places, but well, the girls will be fine no matter where they are sent to.?

?I don’t even want to think about the worst case scenario, though. In preparation for the worst, we should at least make sure that Weerel will be sent properly. …… No, maybe we shouldn’t use the teleportation magic??

?Jeez, you guys are too worried! Please believe in me!?

I would believe in you if you are sober, though. Thus, I’m seriously considering canceling this return method.

???Deris, don’t worry. My wife’s magic works best when she’s in a good mood. In short, now is a perfect time. I’m sure that she will be able to send you to your destination. Also, you did a great job this time. I’m looking forward to our next meeting. Farewell!?

A voice came from out of nowhere. The voice wrapped things up nicely and forcibly changed the flow of the talk into using teleportation magic to go back. Rimudooo…!

?Ah, it’s Rimudo-san’s voice. Goodbye! Let’s have a serious match next time!?

?Honey, nice assist! That’s right, now is a good time to do good deeds~ ??

?I guess he thought that his wife wouldn’t be trusted at this rate….?

The husband couldn’t bear to watch and forced his way into the conversation. Still, how can he even know what’s going on in the house when he’s still a rocky mountain?

?Goshujin-sama, it’s about time.?

?…… I guess I have to prepare myself for the worst. Weerel, where is the destination??

?In a part of the castle under my jurisdiction…. If Therese-san saw the message card from Satella-san… she should have cleared out people from the room and made the necessary arrangements…?

?I see.?

Even if we were able to teleport safely, it depends on Therese’s ability whether or not there will be a commotion over there. It’s my personal opinion, but I trust her more than Satella. As expected of Therese-ojousama.

?Well then, Satella-san. I feel a little reluctant, but please send us. Please.?

?I won’t ask why you said it twice! Everyone, gather here~ ?. Get closer~??

Satella told us to squeeze into one place so tightly that no space was allowed at all. It was like being crammed into a crowded train, especially in the women-only carriage. Lily is shrewdly clinging to me, and Touko is pressing her breasts to me, probably she received some advice from Lily. Behind Lily, Nell is making a furious expression?? please send us quickly.

?Raptiolenis~ ??

Satella released her magic power while still drunk. Then, the windows and doors all over the house opened at once, and the magical wind filled the room. I feel that the wind is a little rough, probably because the number of people is large. Then I quietly closed my eyes, hoping that this is not a sign of failure.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The wind disappeared. Even if I didn’t open my eyes, I could feel it on my skin. Fortunately, there was no strange flow of magic during the teleportation. I was abandoning my vision and was using my nerves to confirm it, so I’m sure of it.

?Ohohohoho! Oooohohoho, desuwa!?

Just as I was about to open my eyes, I heard a very familiar loud laughter.

?You came back on time as promised desuwa! Welcome back desuwa! Wee, a big problem occurred when you were away?? ara? Not only Wee, but there are a lot of people desuwa!?

I thought that there was a grand welcome for us, but it seems that there was a slight misunderstanding. Therese, the noble newcomer of the knight order, was stunned while in a loud laughter position.

?Therese-san, I’m back…. Leader Nell and the others were there… so we came back together…?

?That’s right. Therese, I’m back.?

?I see. I understood everything about the situation at this moment desuwa! Welcome back, Leader Nell! Now, let me give you a brief report. This Therese Batten has been doing a great job while you’re away desuwa! From the paperwork to organizing the outdoor party with the locals, and even helping the interaction between Hund-sama’s subordinates?? wait, the person himself is here!? Hund-sama, weren’t you supposed to be missing!??

?No, you see…. Many things happened, and I was working together with these people. It is also a confidential matter, so I’d appreciate it if you didn’t ask me more than this.?

?I-I see. There are reasons wider than the sea and deeper than the bottom of the valley desuwa ne! I understood it completely at this moment desuwa!?

In fact, he was abducted by Maria, but I won’t say anything. Even Hund-kun has his honor after all. Still, Therese sure talks a lot, in a good way, of course. I thought it was going to be more chaotic, but with her exceptional speed of understanding, we didn’t have to waste time explaining it. However, I felt like she said something that shouldn’t be ignored.

?By the way, Therese, did you say something earlier? Something about a big problem.?

If something troublesome is going to happen anyway, it’s best to hear it first. The longer you put it off, the more complicated it will become.

?T-That’s right desuwa! This is bad! The neighboring country in the south, Crocus, the country of flowers, has been taken over by the Great Eight Demons!?

It has become complicated already.
