Later, the culprits who took Mina away were taken away by adventurers sent by the Adventurer’s Guild. The city’s Adventurer’s Guild also serves as a police force.
“Apparently, the perpetrators had a falling out, so they fought each other.”
“Eh? Didn’t they say Mina had defeated them?”
“It’s ridiculous that a little girl defeated them…… Well, the truth is absurd too.”
I was a little shocked by Anje’s story. Mina had done her best too.
“I mean, the guild already found out, so you didn’t have to bother hiding it.”
I had concealed the fact the baby who was kidnapped with Mina was me. But Anje may be right. However, that’s part of my practice of living as inconspicuously as possible, and that’s what I wanted to stick to.
“But I’m glad that Master is with her.”
“That’s right. I didn’t have to worry about it at all when I heard that you two had been kidnapped together. But then again, it couldn’t have been more unfortunate for those kidnappers.”
As we are talking about this, we heard a knock in the room. By the way, there were three of us, and we are staying in the largest room in this inn. The accommodation fee is also the most expensive, but it is fine for us, A-rank adventurers, as we are financially well off.
“I wonder who it is?”
“The innkeeper?”
“Hmm, it doesn’t look like it’s the innkeeper. The one outside is strong.”
When Fana opened the door, there was a girl who seemed to be about the same age as Fana and the others.
“Excuse me for the sudden visit. I’m Chris. I’m an A-rank adventurer.……Fana-dono, Anje-dono, and Reus-dono, right?”
“Mmm, I’m Fana.”
“Auaah-”
“Anje. I’ve never seen you before in the A-rank adventurer list, though?”
“I just came to Vegaltia recently and was just promoted to A-rank.”
We invited Chris inside the room. For some reason, her gaze was always on me.
“So, what do you need from us?”
Fana asks with her usual expressionless expression.
“Well, actually, there is something I want to check with Reus-dono there.”
“To Master?”
“Auaah-”
I continued to pretend to be a baby, but Chris shook her head.
“Certainly, no matter how I look at it, you look like a baby but…… I know you’re a baby who can talk. And that you are also an A-rank adventurer.”
“……Au-?”
“Are you really a baby? N-no……, that can’t be. I don’t think Colette-dono is lying……”
Apparently, she is an acquaintance of Colette’s.
“There was a rumor in Volante too. That a strange baby suddenly appeared and solved a number of cases. In addition, he taught Colette-dono how to heal the magic circuit, and the adventurers in Volante have greatly improved their level thanks to it. I was one of those who was treated.”
“Auah-?”
“Hmm…… Maybe it was a different baby……?”
“Auah- ah-?”
“Hey, it’s troublesome so stop pretending to be a baby.”
Anje got angry with me, and I had no choice but to start talking.
“Well, I guess I’m that baby. I’m Reus.”
“I wonder if there is such a baby other than Master.”
Chris looks at me seriously.
“U-uh…… you really can talk…… But I…… with only such a small body I really can’t believe you defeated a wyvern, king orc, and even demons.”
“More than that, Oneechan, what do you need from me?”
“Oh-, that’s right.”
By the way, I feel like I’ve seen this girl’s magic somewhere.
“I’m actually from the Brazel family, known as a prestigious family of magic.”
“Mmm, I know that.”
“Heh~, that famous one huh.”
Fana and Anje nodded, but I didn’t really get it. I’m still a baby, so it’s inevitable that I’m not familiar with the world today.
However, it does seem like I’ve heard it somewhere.……
Chris asked as I tilted my head.
“Isn’t Reus-dono the first child of His Lordship, who is said to have died shortly after his birth?”
