A Place to Live

「......Icha, yoi?」 (Little Girl)

「It’s Izayoi.」 (Izayoi)

「Icha......yoi.」 (Little Girl)

「......Izayoi.」 (Izayoi)

「......Ichayoii.」 (Little Girl)

「............Ichayoi.」 (Izayoi)




The guildmaster prepared a place for us to live.

Located at the opposite side of the guild building, it was a rather secure home with a garden.

「The gryphon, would it be fine for it to not be in the house?」 (Izayoi)

「......Family.」 (Little Girl)

「If it’s family, then it can’t be helped.」 (Izayoi)

「A-as I thought, you’re going to be with the gryphon for a long time, aren’t you?」 (Lilia)

Even now Lilia is afraid of the gryphon.

「Don’t tell me you’re also thinking of staying with me for a while?」 (Izayoi)

「I’ll be monitoring you as much as possible since you are an untrustworthy person.」 (Lilia)

Although it’s really bothersome, I’ll have to endure it, huh.

「If something gets in my way, I’ll remove it.」 (Izayoi)

「Remove?! Coming here and making a serious threat, can you win? If I call for help do you think you can win?!」 (Lilia)

At that moment, the gryphon entered the s.p.a.cious entryway that was seemingly created for it.

「Wait a moment、I’ll really call for help, you know? D-Don’t ignore me.」 (Lilia)

The inside of the room was completely clean, including furniture and the like.

「Please listen to me, hey...... Izayoi-san?」 (Lilia)

「What does this gryphon eat?」 (Izayoi)

The girl’s animal ears had drooped down, and she was restlessly looking around the room.

Her face was expressionless and both of her animal ears slightly moved in an alternative fas.h.i.+on, I wonder how she’s thinking of answering.

「......Eats anything.」 (Little Girl)

「*Kueh!*」 (Gryphon)

‘If it’s food it’ll eat anything!’ I thought to myself as the gryphon let out a cry.

Although I’ve never actually seen a gryphon before, it unexpectedly had a high level of intelligence.

「Please stop ignoring me Izayoi-san! ......Ichayoi-san?」 (Lilia)

「Eats anything, huh......」 (Izayoi)

I s.h.i.+fted my attention to Lilia. Her face lit up. She had a cheerful expression that had a “Paaa” noise to it.

「Does it also eat people?」 (Izayoi)

I turned back my gaze, and asked another question of the girl.

Her animal ears continued alternatively moving without changing, and closed her eyes with an awkward expression.

「......Eat people?」 (Little Girl)

「*Kueh?*」 (Gryphon)

The gryphon had thought about for a few seconds.　

「*Kukeke!*」 (Gryphon)

「......Relatively tasty, it said.」 (Little Girl)

「I see, tasty, huh. That’s good eh, go ahead Lilia.」 (Izayoi)

「It’s not good! I’m not going. I’m still a young 16 year old you know?」 (Lilia)

「Don’t worry. I’m also about 16 years old.」 (Izayoi)

「Please don’t think of grouping me together with someone like you!」 (Lilia)

「*Guruu...*」 (Gryphon)

「......Hungry, he says.」 (Little Girl)

「I see. Alright then, the live feed is――」 (Izayoi)

「Ah, I remember! Since I have errands to do at the guild, I’ll be returning for a bit!」 (Lilia)

With a pale face and sweat on her forehead, Lilia dashed away.

She had left the wide entryway, but contrary to expectations turned around and took a peek.

「While I’m not here please don’t do anything strange! Please don’t misbehave!」

And with that, Lilia had left.

「*Guruu?*」 (Gryphon)

The noisy girl had left, and the room had become calm.

The gryphon tilted its head, and the young expressionless girl motionlessly stared at me.

I suddenly felt exhausted. I’ll think about a few things and what to do from now on tomorrow......

「For the time being, shall have dinner......?」 (Izayoi)


「*Kukekeke!*」 (Gryphon)

Bread, meat, fish, vegetables, and fruit. It really does eat everything, I guess.

Although it originally did not have much stored food, the food stored in Astrea was almost gone. Judging by the gryphon’s physique, it eating this much was obvious.

「I’m going to sleep. Leaving the tableware like that is fine. If anything happens, tell me.」 (Izayoi)

I bought food from a store and served it on a plate, and the girl took her time slowly bringing the food to her mouth till the end.

Separated by the living room, the both of us left to our individual rooms.

Lying down on the bed, I let out a sigh.

Two weeks, is it? There seems to be quite a bit of trouble to deal with.


「Izayoi! Why are you nonchalantly adding more heroines?!」 (Astrea)

「Shut up. I’m resting here. Don’t bring your thoughts over here Astrea.」 (Izayoi)

「The one that Izayoi exploits, who nursed a dying fairy-chan on the brink of death, the Super White Spirit Astrea, is treated with this kind of att.i.tude? You should normally be saying something like, ”Thanks Astrea. I love you.”」 (Astrea)

「The normal you’re speaking of has never once happened.」 (Izayoi)

An infinitely pure, white room. Peering into the room with my head was something similar to the room, a girl with pure white hair and pure white clothes. She was puffing out her cheeks in displeasure.

「Also, if you don’t have any business with me, don’t go about dragging me in here alright?――」 (Izayoi)

「*――Kyaa!*」 (Allele)

Straightening my body, in front of me was a girl with blue eyes and transparent wings sprouting from her back.

Surprised, I quickly got up. There was a girl who had fallen on her backside.

「The Water Fairy?」 (Izayoi)

「Yes, how terrib-terrible!」 (Allele)

「Sorry. I didn’t mean to use magic.」 (Izayoi)

「It is fine, it is fine, Hero-sama.」 (Allele)

「......Quit it with the hero thing. I’m no longer a hero.」 (Izayoi)

「No, such a thing, such a thing is not the case. The Hero-sama is a hero.」 (Allele)

「Even if that’s the case, call me Izayoi. Since Astrea refers to me like that, do the same. ......Water Fairy, I understand the situation regarding the exhaustion of magical energy. Tell me about the rest of the fairies.」 (Izayoi)

「That’s unfair Izayoi! You’re cold to Astrea-chan, but kind to Allele-chan? After everything, Astrea-chan is just a girl of the past. Your feelings have turned towards a new girl, there’s nothing I can do right? A girl of the past. A girl from long ago right?」 (Astrea)

「How unreasonable、you should realize you dug your own grave with how you act.」 (Izayoi)

「......The other fairies, the other fairies, Ah, I remember! We are in big trouble! Fiere-chan was coming to save me, but since she immediately lost her way, she is probably crying from loneliness right now.」 (Allele)

This world is divided into two continents. In each continent there are two fairies each, and in the one I’m on right now are the Water and Earth fairies. In the continent with many beastmen and elves are the Fire and Wind fairies.

The other continent has not had much of a decrease in magical power, so there isn’t much of a worry for the fairies on that continent、but the problem is the Wind Fairy.

If she had gotten lost on the other continent it would have been fine, if she was lost on this continent, she might use up all of her strength due to a lack of magic. The Earth Fairy would have to quickly retrieve her.

The magic depletion had started from the outer edges of the continent. The Water Fairy who was near the edge would be weakened, while the Earth Fairy, who was inland, would be fine.

There’s no expectation for finding the Wind Fairy, and there’s no urgency for dealing with the Earth Fairy I think.

Adding to that there’s no intention to do nothing for two weeks either.

There shouldn’t be much of a risk, so I’ll see if I can bring the girl and the gryphon along to search for the Wind Fairy.

「Speaking of which, Astrea, Allele. We’ll be searching for the Wind Fairy soon. Although I say that, the ones searching for her will be you two. Help me out. ......Since I have business to finish, I’ll be going back.」 (Izayoi)

「Wait a second Izayoi! That’s not enough grat.i.tude you’re showing!」 (Astrea)

「Goodbye Hero-sa......Izayoi-sama～」 (Allele)


「Izayoi! Hey! Wait right there!!」 (Astrea)
