Jikuu Mahou chapter 407: Gossip

「Laila. Sorry for this so late at night」

「Se, Seiji. What happened? Didn't you return?」

「No, I wasn't supposed to let those 10 girls stay in my house, but they fell asleep, so I have no place to sleep now」

「Th, Therefore, you come to me?」

「Well, that's about it」

「Se, Seiji...... will go to bed late at night....... With me...... to, together!? My first time is finally Seiji......」

Laila...... started to murmur something. It's so late, did she fall asleep and is sleep talking?

Laila, who is sleeping while standing, let's let her be.

-----

I moved to the large room where the residents were evacuated in.

「I'm sorry, can I use this place?」

「Ah, yes」

I took a small place inside the room and decided to sleep there.

However, although it is a fairly large room, I am a displaced man. I can hear other people's speech.

「Laila-sama is a very kind person. Opening her house, for us」

「More than that, a magic wall is wrapped around the house. There's no rain or wind coming in」

Residents are talking about Laila. It seems that the approval rating from residents is quite high.

Well, I was the one who put the barrier on, though.

「If Laila-sama becomes the queen, will this country be more livable?」

Laila becoming queen ~. King, the people are thinking of replacing you.

「Laila-sama is great, but Princess Elena is also great」

Oh, they're also talking about Elena.

「Princess Elena seems to be healing the wounded people everywhere」

「Ah, what kindness」

「Princess Elena has a perfect status and is very likely to be the next queen」

「Queen Elena～. She is going to be a gentle queen」

That's good! Shall I quietly kill the king who is useless so as not to be noticed by Elena, and then put Elena on the throne.

What! I won't do that. I have wanted to lie for some reason, and it's not on April 1st. Why??

「Besides, it seems that the adventurer of Princess Elena is also amazing」

Hmm? Maybe something about me? Even though I acted as stealthy as possible. I'm troubled.

「She uses fire magic, though she is younger than Elena-sama」

What? It's about Hilda....... Well, Hilda has been working hard recently. It can't be ruled out that it is a rumor.

「Speaking of which, I've only seen them occasionally, but there is also a black hair」

Oh, is this about me now? I'm troubled.

「Oh yes, a woman with dark hair and an unseen dagger」

Eh? Now it's about Aya!

「Only women are active」

「Speaking of being active, a man......」

This time is it me?

「Rondo-sama」

「Yes, only Rondo-sama」

「It seems so」

......Stop making noises. I decided to sleep.

～～～～～～～～～～

Doson!

Midnight. A loud noise rang, and my eyes opened.

「Wh, What's wrong!」

「I heard something awful!」

The evacuated people are also waking up and are beginning to make a fuss.

Doson!

「Ah, Again!」

「What's going on?」

The sound I don't understand well is repeating again and again. What exactly is happening?

Sounds and vibrations seem to be coming from quite far. However, it is neither lightning nor an earthquake, so I really don't know what it is.

A soldier broke through the evacuated people and was approaching me.

「Seiji-dono, Laila-sama needs you」

Did Laila's men come to call me?

I moved to Laila´s room in a hurry.

-----

「Laila, I'm coming in」

What? When I entered the room...... Laila was crouching in the middle of the room.

「Laila...... what are you doing?」

When I call out again.......

「Se, Seiji!」

Laila finally noticed that I was here and rushed to hug me.

「Hey, Laila, what happened?」

「Seiji! No more! I'm scared! I want to return home」

Hmmm, it seems like she is acting like a child out of fear.

「Hey, Laila. Calm down」

However, Laila is swaying while hugging me.

「I can't help it, but this late at night I need to call Elena」

The moment I stumbled so much. The shaking of Laila stopped.

「Why, Elena-sama?」

「Hmm? Because, here, there is a [Twin Magic Stone String Telephone] for the communication relay with each town. If Laila can't move, they won't be able to communicate with each other. It's just Elena that can replace you, right?」

「Iya!」

I don't even know what she dislikes.

「I'll...... keep in touch!」

「I see, Laila is great」

I guess she hasn't been able to get rid of her childish behavior. Even so, it is great that she tries to complete her work. I stroke Laila's head.

「Then, I will go to check the true nature of that sound」

「Se, Seiji! Are you going?」

「Yes. I'm just looking at it. Well, you don't need to worry, I'll come back as soon as I see it」

I took off the arm of Laila who is holding me to start the action.

「Se, Seiji. Don't go」

There is nothing to worry about. Indeed, Laila is afraid.
