After stopping Tina and Yulina''s fight, I leave the place alone.
I make sure there''s no one around and activate the magic tool in my pocket.
I''ve never done it this early in the morning before, but I wonder if it will get through.
After waiting for a while, there was a response from the magic tool.
''''Yes, this is Yele. Is it an emergency?''''
The Commander of the Order, Yere''s voice comes from the magic tool.
This magic tool is something that allows you to contact people in the distance.
The voice can be delivered well and is essential for spying.
During the previous Christo''s escort trip, the deputy commander, Liberto-san, had it with him.
At that time, that magic tool was not able to get through, and it turned out that the royal capital was under attack.
''''This is Eric. No, it''s not so much an emergency, but it''s a situation that''s a bit hard to judge...''''
I tell her briefly that I met Nina when I arrived in this village and found out about Elena-san.
''So, since we have the same goal of finding Elena-san, Nina wants to accompany me...''
...Eric, there is one thing I can tell you.
Yes, can I help you?
You forget that you are traveling on a top secret mission, and that you are working on the premise that the search for Elena-san is supposed to be kept from being discovered by us.
''Oh....''
That''s right.........
I told Yelle-san and Liberto-san because they already knew about it, but if it''s true, looking for Elena-san is something you shouldn''t do because it''s a public/private matter.
Nevertheless, I talked to him about it.
I can hear Yele-san''s sigh from the magic tool.
''''Um, sorry........''''
''''No, we know that too, so I hope it doesn''t interfere with the mission. Please keep that in mind.
Yes, I understand!
When I''m reminded, Yele-san thinks about what I''ve told her.
''''Nina Grazio.......that Felix Grazio, you were his sister-in-law, right?''''
Yes, I do.
Is he trustworthy? If you''re going to accompany me, I''ll have to tell you our mission and ask you to help me. If you don''t have the ability to do so well, there''s a good chance you''ll be a drag on the mission.''''
It would be natural to be suspicious.
She is the sister-in-law of the man who was trying to destroy the Begonia Kingdom, or indeed the man who destroyed it in a previous life.
But..........
I think I can be trusted.
Nina has a bit of a venomous streak, but she is honest and straightforward.
She doesn''t have a backstabbing personality.
Still, the fact that you came to attack me when I was stupidly honestly sleeping is proof that you are not good at hiding the truth.
Most importantly, he''s working that hard for Elena-san.
To find her best friend from when she was in the underground city.
Since they were friends many years ago, they could just let it go.
But Nina is looking for her best friend, Elena-san.
-- as if I was looking for my best friend Christo in my previous life.
''''My abilities are low in terms of offensive ability, but my defense probably surpasses that of Vice Commander Viviana.
Nina can use protective magic.
It seems that she can''t use offensive magic, but that magic is difficult and normal wizards can''t even learn lower level magic.
Nina, who can handle it to an advanced level, would be better than Viviana-san and Tina when it comes to defense.
''''I see. Eric-kun, do you think it''s okay for Nina Gladio to accompany you?''''
Yes, sir, and it will improve the efficiency of the mission.
Even so, it would be hard to believe it as Yele-san.
He wouldn''t allow me to take a suspicious companion in the middle of a very important mission--''''
''''I understand. I will allow Nina Gladio to accompany you.''''
What ... are you sure?
"Yes.
He forgave me more easily than I thought.
Why was it so easy?
"We''ve been looking into Nina Grazio originally.
''Oh, really?''
''''Yes. Sister-in-law of Felix, from the underworld of Harzion. I didn''t know you were friends with Elena Millwood, but that''s about it.
I didn''t think you were looking into Nina.
But I met Nina on a previous trip, so I could find out from there.
No. Did you really know her long before that?
''So if you''re that okay with it, Eric, I have no objection to it.
Thank you.
I don''t know how much he knew, but he managed to get Nina to allow him to accompany her.
''''That''s all we''ve heard from you,''''
Okay, then....
''Oh? ''What are you doing?''
I felt like I was already out of touch, but there was something wrong over there.
I heard another voice except for Yere''s. I couldn''t hear him, but he was talking to someone else over there.
I can''t hear him, but he''s talking to someone else over there.
And then I heard another voice over here, but it wasn''t Yelle''s voice.
"Hey, Eric, are you taking Nina Grazio with you?
What ... uh ... uh ... Mr. Liberto?
''Yeah, yeah. It''s been a while.
Apparently, he has been replaced by Mr. Liberto, the Deputy Commander.
Why did he take over all of a sudden?
''''Liberto, please don''t speak without permission.
"Come on, man, it''s a bit of a stretch.
''''But Eric, you''re taking Nina Grazio with you.......''''
''Yes, yes, but...''
Does Mr. Liberto disagree?
What are you trying to get your harem together?
...What?
What''s he talking about?
''One man and three women traveling together, right? That looks like fun.''
''No, it''s not like that, but...''
"Keep it to yourself. There''s nothing good about having an affair.
....
''Whoa, what''s the matter, shut up? Don''t tell me you''re really doing this...
So I''ll see you on time.
I said and turned off the magic tool.
I heard Liberto-san say something before I turned it off, but I ignored it.
.........She was probably drunk, this early in the morning.
