Neta Chara Tensei Toka Anmari da!

In the riverbed near the forest, there was an unbelievable wide flat land.

The width should be around four hundred square meters, and it was good enough as a building foundation.
However, the most surprising thing was how long it took to make it.
Just two seconds.
Because it was the result of Nacht’s Earth Magic.

“I kind of noticed that you are not normal, but are you human?”
Although it was rude, Nacht only showed a wry smile to Crysta’s word.

“Well, half of me.
Although in my knowledge even humans could do this.
I have a human Wizard friend who could use magic that devastated mountain, and they challenge the raid boss with it.”

“…I doubt they are human…”
Although that word was often directed toward her, this was the first time Crysta uses this line to someone else.

“Well, it is too early to feel surprised.”
Nacht then took an item like a gem from her item storage.
The name was Simple Tent Creation Orb.
It was an item that was usually sold in high-class stores which allows players to spend the night without gaining FP (fatigue point).

After Nacht threw it, smoke appeared, and then a giant round tent instantly built in the flat land.
It looked like something the nomad tribes use and from a glance, it was easy to notice that it was pretty sturdy.
When they entered they noticed something even more amazing.
On the floor was a luxurious carpet, and there were two wooden beds and seven mattresses.
Chilled fruit and glittering glasses of juice were placed on a table that looked like kotatsu.
It was luxurious enough that anyone except maybe Nobles would surely be willing to live.
Plus the heat insulation was good.

“””Ha–!?”””
Of course, none could hide their astonishment.
The ex-sex slaves were looking at the spectacle mouth wide open while the top-class adventurers also turned dumbfounded.
For those who could use magic like Sasha or Crysta, they guessed that it was something that was created through magic.
They could imagine the price of the two orbs that Nacht used should be worth an enormous amount of money.
If it was sold at the action even Royalty and Nobles would fighting to obtain it.

“By the way this item was one-off.”

“””Ha!?”””
That place quickly filled with ‘then please let us take the carpet later’ and the likes.
Nacht only said ‘just don’t fight’ and then took another item from the storage and left them.

“Aisha, we will use this one.”
The ones that she used before was one-off.
But the one in Nacht’s hand was different, it was sub-home, a type of base that could be carried away.
It was a reward of a common quest that could be taken by player level 70.
It was a pretty unique item that could also be decorated with cash items.
Nacht’s base has a small entrance, but the inside was so vast because of its space manipulation properties, with a  ceiling like a night sky decorated with bright stars.
Although it was kind of dim due to the light source only from the stars, it was perfect that way.
The dome-shaped room was like a slice of the universe.
The transparent floor has an effect to increase MP regeneration just by sitting on it, the sofa has an effect to reduce fatigue, there were also warehouse to keep materials, a safe to deposit gold, etc.
Due to cash items, it has become really convenient.

It was the first quest that Nacht took when she reached level 70 other than the third job advancement quest.

After Nacht brought Aisha inside, she let Crysta who was also invited to sit on the sofa.

“Just who are you? Although this kind of imprudence, even if you said you are God, I might believe it…”
Due to the magical space she brought into, a slightly shocked expression appeared on Crysta’s face.

“Haha, that was a funny one.
My half is still the same as you, a human.
I will allow you to call me ‘Nacht-chan’ casually.”
Right after Nacht said that a darkish pressure assaulted Crysta.
Aisha was clinging toward Nacht with darkened expression, directed a gaze filled with something close to bloodlust toward Crysta.

“N-no I will refrain.
And so, what’s Nacht-dono business with me?”
Nacht looked closely toward the usually expressionless Crysta.
She could see that it was stiffer than usual.

“I want my reward, for saving your, and your comrades’ lives.”
Of course, there was no way Nacht would take anything from the slaves that have nothing.
But Crysta and co were top-class adventurers.
They were pro in their field, and thus asking for compensation with equal value should be the norm.

“Understood.
I will give what I could.
Even like this, I am still an A rank adventurer, I have enough wealth that could rival a noble.”
Crysta quickly agreed.
She didn’t have any reason to refuse, and she was not so ungrateful to not repay the favor she received.
Although, when looking toward Nacht, Crysta could only wonder what kind of reward she would demand.
Since Nacht has power, wealth, a home, a place to belong, and even a beauty.

“I don’t need money.
Ah, if we need money to enter the city, please pay it though.
I mean I don’t need monetary compensation.
There are two rewards I want to ask you guys.”
Even if Nacht received this world currency, she doubted she would have any use for it.
Nacht continued with feet crossed.

“First, please give at least the bare minimum support to the slaves that I saved until they could stand on their own.
And the other was to spread rumor, that I am the one who defeated Duran who you and your comrades, A-class adventurers could not handle.”
The first half was just Nacht being a busybody.
There was no way the women that were captured by the bandits could live a proper life right after released.
That’s why until they were able to return to society, some support would be needed.
Since Nacht just saved them, if they died due to something stupid, it would give a bad aftertaste to Nacht.

The other one was to prevent unnecessary trouble.
Nacht was charming enough to draw people’s attention just by being there.
Her appearance was beautiful enough to warrant such worry, many people would surely call out to her.
That’s why just let it all out.
Tell them that although her appearance was just a beauty, she has power that rivals A rank adventurer so you shouldn’t mess with her.
Although some might took it as a joke and still approached them, after sending one or two groups to submission, none would make a move on them.
Nacht would not do something like disguise or hide.
Because that would deny herself, and Aikawa Tooru has decided to live fully as Nacht.
Even if that would invite troubles, Nacht refuses to live in falsehood.

“Is that all?”
For Crysta that did not count as a proper reward at all.

First, the life of an A-rank party was not that cheap.
When reached A rank, it would be easy to earn money to make a single village live without worry for a year.
That’s why the first reward was easy for them and would not hurt their pocket.

And the second one was simply common sense.
For adventurers, they have a duty to report the result of the commission.
Of course, that would include Duran and Nacht’s involvement, their team failures, and the fact that Nacht should be the one receiving the reward for the request.
And rumor would spread in no time.

But for Nacht, that reward would be enough.
Because she didn’t have anything other in mind after all.

“Well, no need to be so tense.
But yeah, if you think it’s too little, I will ask one more.”
Nacht looked toward Aisha.
Aisha tilted her head in confusion, Nacht returned her gaze toward Crysta.

“I want Aisha’s mother’s information.
Her name should be, Floria.”

“!? Nacht-sama, that’s…”
Aisha was shocked and looked at Nacht stiffly.

“A female elf.
Should be beautiful like Aisha.
Just ask your acquaintance is fine.
If you have any information, relay it to me.”
Crysta nodded at Nacht’s words.
Of course, Crysta still felt it was too little, but since Nacht already said ‘one more’ there is no sense to ask for more.

“Understood.
I promise you in my name.”

After Crysta left, Nacht and Aisha were alone in the enormous space.
A star fell and disappear.
The silent light illuminates the space.
Nacht could see Aisha’s face under the veil of the night.

“Are you dissatisfied?”

“…No, of course not…”
Although she said that, she looked really dissatisfied.
She did not remember the face of her mother.
Since she could understand things she has lived only with her father.

“Do you hate your mother?”

“……yes.”

In Aisha’s mind, her mother had abandoned her.
Of course.
During the most miserable and painful period, there was no one with the same elf blood like her to accompany her.

“However she might be alive.
And you might be able to meet your biological mother.
I don’t have any chance like that–That’s why I am envious–”

It was part of Aikawa Tooru’s residual memories.
Tooru died without leaving any messages to his parent.
Just like Aisha, Tooru could not repay the favor to his parent.
He has not left them any messages and has not done anything for them.
In the first place, to die before his own parent might be his most unfilial act.
While that thought crossed her mind, Nacht’s expression became cloudly.

“Nacht-sama……”
But Aisha still had her biological mother.
And she was someone her father loved.
So it is unlikely that she just left Aisha irresponsibly.

“If you have any dissatisfaction, tell her when you meet her.
If you have any complaint, say it to her face.
It would be a waste if you deny it without even experiencing it, Aisha.
–Well, of course, I know you have a lot in your mind, but we have times.
Just go with it slowly.”

“……Yes.”

Nacht looked at Aisha.
She was the important bond she got after cross over.
Surely, meeting with her was the reason Tooru could live as Nacht and move forward.

“Let’s sleep together, Aisha.”
Nacht smiled looking at Aisha who turned red and flustered.

***

Free city, center ward.
A place that was never quiet and has intense traffic was also called a neutral ward because a lot of public buildings like adventurer guild were located.
Inside the biggest building, at the innermost area, the guild master office, a man grunted with a difficult face.

“How is it, Guild Master?”
A bespectacled girl asked.

“……Hmm.”
However the Guild Master, Nigurd Howl did not have a clear answer so he kept his silence with a pained expression and looked down.

“How is it, Guild Master?”

“……Ughh….”
Looking at the numerous reports on his table, there was no good idea comes to mind.

“Just get over with it, old man!”
The bespectacled girl, Irina, brought up a thick book and then swung it down without mercy.
“Aww! It hurts! Stop! I am the guild master you know, an important person! Why are you treating me like this–”
But he could not continue.

Because she put the book up once again.

“Okay, I am sorry.
Forgive me! No, please forgive my insolent self!”

“Then what should we do? The A-rank adventurer Crysta Neve Branrichter accepted the request to subjugate the bandit and hasn’t returned for one week.
Additionally, there are reports of increasing monster activity in the Yorn forest.
There were already seven injured new adventurers due to it.
The reported high-rank monsters included a number of Ogres and Liches.”
Irina who still has a trace of childishness supported the fruits that disproportional with her body with her arms and said that with composure toward Nigurd.

“For the first one, let’s believe in the power of rank A adventurer.
Crysta is always coolheaded.
Even if there were troubles, she should be able to solve them.
If she did not return in three more days, let send B rank scout to check.
As for the forest issue…..What do you think?”
Nigurd sent a sharp glance that would make even top-rank adventurer shiver toward Irina.
But Irina just calmly stated her opinion.

“In my opinion, there were two possibilities.
One, a stronger monster has appeared so the high-level monster lost its place and come to the forest.
The other one was an accumulation of mana because of some reason and make some monsters become more actives.”

“If only that then we should be able to handle it.
Even the Nobles who at odds with us would send their private troops.”

“Is there anything else?”
Hearing Irina’s word, Nigurd expression became gloomy.

“Just a hunch…But I have a bad feeling about—”

Irina’s pupils were hidden by her glasses.
And then even though it sounds stupid and impossible, she said another worst possibility.

“By some chance, one in a million chance…the ancient seal–the seal at the spring was broken……”
That would explain the current monsters’ activity.
The ancient Demon race was said to have the power to befriend monsters.
But that was just a legend.
Saying that made her feel stupid.

“By chance, if that really happens, what would you do?”

“Runaway.”
Irina answered instantly.

“In this free city, we have two ranks A.
I was also A rank before, and you are also not worse.
Even with Crysta who holds a title, you still run?”

“Yes.
Because otherwise would be folly.”
The ancient demons’ tales were many, but the most famous one was how they cross the blade with a dragon.
From the mount of those that have met the ancient demon in the current era, they said “You will die if you meet them, my luck was just good.”

“I see…First, we need to check the forest.
Ask rank C party or above to check the forest, and also make subjugation requests.
Additionally, call Housman.
Ask him to check the spring.”
Receiving Nigurd order, Irina quickly moved.
