Laptiricia-sama’s trip to Veneer would end with tonight’s banquet. We still did not know if Cactus and Styphnolobium had decided to give up on assassinating her. But I wasn’t optimistic that they had. They were unlikely to attempt an attack during the banquet, but we shouldn’t be any less vigilant.   When we arrived at

One of the assassins who attempted to attack Laptiricia-sama was killed after he’d fled. The identity of the mastermind aiming for her life is unknown. But we did manage to get information from the one assassin we captured. The first bit was the name of the Dark Guild that’d been hired which was called ‘Cactus’.

After I killed 3 of the 5 assassins while capturing one alive, I then reported back to the Pavillion and Laptiricia-ama. I let the last one escape only after I’d attached a GPS tracker to them with my VMB Original Gun. Now, I dragged the captured one by the neck as I returned to the

Laptiricia-sama should be asleep already as her first day in Veneer came to an end. After a meeting with the escort commander, I walked from the Pavillion’s main building to the detached house where I was staying. The meeting confirmed there’d been no abnormalities to be found around Laptiricia-sama. Plus, there was an unexpected tidbit

As we neared the city gate of Veneer, you could finally see the guards that hadn’t been present throughout the city’s outer suburbs we’d passed through. In other words, if you thought about it, you could say that they didn’t check who you were outside the city. How is this related to security? As you

After watching the opera at the indoor theater, we prepared to return as my embarrassment lingered. A sudden call from the guard outside was heard. “Shaft, there are people here who want to see you.” The guest room door opened slightly as the guard peeked in. Someone wanted to see me? Within the capital, the

Note: Malta is now Marida, Marida is Marta. The daughter stays the same.  The indoor theatre was built in the first district, utilized magical building materials; otherwise known as magical architecture. The difference between it and the ordinary-buildings was that magic reinforced its strength. Its appearance was had a rich and formed a large hall.

Today is the second day of the escort mission in the Capital. The plan today was for Laptiricia-sama to visit the home of an adventurer clan called “Camellia” during the day. And in the afternoon, to watch the opera play at the indoor theater with Duke Barga and his wife… The opera was called the

A black bear with elegant white deer-like antlers appeared amongst the tall autumn trees. Its deep black eyes observed the sloping forest, its floor covered in a myriad of orange, yellow, and brown leaves. It’d rained a week ago, but with the chilling air, the ground was still moist. It’d even began to form near-transparent

I returned from Duke Barga’s office to standby-dorm next to Laptiricia-sama’s private room. This is the room I’d sleep in and have my meals during my stay in the residence. The other escort, Ashley, would take her meals with Laptiricia-sama and the duke couple, but then return to the standby rooms.  As such, the standby

Three days into the trip to the Royal Capital, and while being escorted by the Western Barga Knight’s Order, we’d stayed at the rest spot east of Barga. However, nothing occurred such as a bandit attack like during Marida Company’s escort. And the city gate’s came into view as we went. Duke and Duchess Barga

After the quickly organized mock battle, everyone gathered in the one-story building near the training ground. The official name of the building turned out to be “Training Room”, but to me, it looked like a regular classroom with a simple school office attached to it. There were no chairs or tables in the room, just

A hiss filled the gravity-absent, white textured plastic paneled tunnel. The kind that looked like it belonged on the dash of a low-budget ABC car the poor drove, and Doctor Jeremy White hated it.

As I was visiting the Western Barga Knights’ training facility while escorting Laptiricia-sama during her scheduled magic training, the instructor had proposed a mock battle. With me as a participant… Although it was a sudden request with the unlikely event I would fight against a team of knights and mages during this escort mission… “Shaft,

As the sun began to descend in the north-east, Syfa watched as the white clouds slowly turned lilac; rimmed in pink. The brilliant sky blue was chased by the purple, followed by the night sky as the moon became visible. Several stars had begun to poke out from their hiding as if joyous the sun

“We can use these,” Haiafe told Opal, who commandeered BD-A, as he picked out several deep purple flowers that grew along the beach of the lake. “We can crush them and turn them into the paint.” Off in the distance, several more Spider-Drones kept their distance from Haiafe.
