Chapter 80: First Party Conference


    Returning from Margrave Volton’s estate, I called Sophia and the girls to the living room to discuss what we’ll be doing from now on.


    「ーーso that’s how it is. I’ll be strengthening the defenses of this house as well, but I want to hear everyone’s opinions.」


    I said that it would be dangerous staying with me.


    Releasing them from their slavery contracts and leaving is one way to protect them.


    It seems Margrave Volton and Barack-san will back me up, so I proposed this while keeping that in mind.


    「I have been Takumi-sama’s guard from the beginning. If there is danger approaching, then it is all the more reason I can not leave your side. Furthermore, my heart and body already belong to Takumi-sama. In life and in death, I will be with you.」declared Sophia, in a very compelling tone.


    「My future is being together with Takumi-sama as well. Even if I am freed, I have nowhere to go. I don’t want to leave.」said Maria, teary-eyed as she stared at me.


    「It has only been several months since I was purchased by Takumi-sama, however my family is not starving because of Takumi-sama. In addition, I’ve only just started my studied. I want to create more and more new things with you, Takumi-sama.」


    Laeva said she doesn’t want this to stop.


    「Thank you, everyone. Then, let’s get stronger so we can get through anything that may happen. Let’s do everything that we can.」


    Having confirmed everyone’s intentions, I decided to make preparations so I can respond to unexpected situations.


    「(Haa, I’ve finally got my hands on a lot of cheese and milk, and yet I don’t have the time to challenge cooking with it.)」


    「So then, what will we do, specifically?」


    「Un, we are being trained together by Barack-san, but Knight Leader Dorn-san will take over our sword and spear training.」


    「That is very much appreciated. Mock battles between ourselves is fine, but experiencing the Knights’ swordsmanship and spear handling will be very educational as well.」


    「Maria and Laeva will receive training from the people in the Magic Division.」


    「I will do my best at both magic and the spear!」


    「I will continue to study alchemy for magic and staff arts.」


    Maria and Laeva are brimming with determination.


    「Our equipment, both the weapons and armor, are all good. There is probably no adventurer party with better equipment than us in this continent. Also, this is a precaution for the house, but I plan on improving the barrier magic device used in camp so that it would prevent unregistered individuals from trespassing.」


    This time, it just so happened that Kaede noticed the intruders and eliminated them, but it might not be possible for Kaede to deal with it as simply as this time if a large number of people attacked.


    If it was in a life or death situation, Kaede would likely be alright against a lot of people though.


    「And I believe that our party, 『Wings of Norn』 should immediately search for an attacker or tank.」


    「Sophia, you think so too? Barack-san and the others gave the same advice.」
