That’s what happened yesterday.

It seems that Alfiris is not a good sleeper, and while she was sleepwalking, Anorn was already getting ready.

「Ahh, ohh What’s wrong, Sister」

「Hmm What do you, mean you’re preparing to take down an Archfiend」

Instead of the usual fluttery sister’s clothes, Anorn was dressed in a light, form-fitting outfit.

Her hair was tied up in a bun at the back, she wore small hand and shoulder pads, and a leather pochette around her waist that held many small items.

She is preparing to pack them one after another as she produces medicine that Alfiris have never seem before.

She also has a huge hammer-like mace propped up on the wall.

「Sister, that appearance is…」

「Oh, I never told you, did I I used to be a warrior, mostly in the vanguard.

This is my equipment from that time.

The church was kind enough to deliver it to the inn for me.」

While saying that, Anorn was preparing quickly and efficiently.

Alfiris thought to herself that Anorn surely had such a strong arm.

「So.

I’d like to ask you a question, Alfie.

You can also use a bow, right」

「In a way.

But I haven’t used it much in practice, have I」

「You can use magic to increase the distance and accuracy, just like you did with the dagger before.

How many shots can you do」

「Hmm, I’d say about 40 or 50.

I haven’t tried it lately, so I don’t know exactly what can I do.」

「Then I’ll take it as 40.

This time, the vanguard will be me and Albert.

Alfie will be Lisa’s escort and backup.」

「It’s alright, but… can’t I be in the vanguard too」

Anorn explained to a disgruntled Alfiris.

「… I’ve defeated multiple Archfiends before.

You’re still not strong enough to be the vanguard.

And Lisa’s escort is always necessary.

The archfiend is rarely alone, and usually has its army with it.

It is dangerous to leave the rear guard behind.」

「I don’t know if I agree with you, but I’ll defer to the experienced.」

「Good to see you being so honest.」

Anorn smirked and looked at Alfiris.

It’s true that this warrior’s costume suits Anorn better, and she may have originally had such a simple atmosphere around her.

「But it’s great that you’ve done fiend subjugation before, isn’t Did the sisters also register with the guild」

「Hmmm, yeah.」

「By the way, what’s your rank」

「…B .」

「Wow, that’s amazing! Isn’t that the best in some towns and regions」

「No, it’s not.

Okay, that’s enough boring talk.

I have to buy some food, so I’ll leave first.

Alberto said he would meet us at the west gate as soon as he was ready.

By the way, since I’m not dressed as a sister anymore, you can call me 『Anorn』 instead of 『Sister.』 If you make a mistake, I’ll bare it in front of Albert!」

No sooner said than done.

Anorn had left.

「W—What the hell」

Alfiris changed her clothes.

「……Norma」

Lisa peeked through the crack in the door and called out to her.

「Damn, this is hard…」

She was supposed to be blind, so there was no need to worry about her seeing spell mark, but Alfiris felt strangely uncomfortable.

***

After a quick meal at the inn, she went to pick up her sword, which was still unsharpened, and thought about giving it a tip, but being a naive girl, she didn’t know what the going rate was.

「(I knew I had to do what Sister said… No, no,no I haven’t even held hands with a man yet.

No, not even if I’ve held hands with a men before but… Hmm Then, where do I even start)」

As Alfiris agonized by herself, Lisa, who was frustrated, asked the shopkeeper something.

The shopkeeper then rushed to take out Alfiris’ sword and sharpened it at the speed of light.

「(Well, I was saved, but what should I say)」

In addition, she tried to procure a bow and arrow, and for some reason, the owner offered her a service.

「(Hey, did I do a good day’s work The shopkeeper looked a little pale for a man of his age… Let’s pretend I didn’t see Lisa smirk…)」

Then, as Alfiris left the store ahead of Lisa, she heard the shopkeeper’s scream from inside the store.

What kind of exchange was going between the two of them was already beyond Alfiris’ imagination.

***

Then at the west gate.

「Oh, you’re early.」

Anorn has already bought food and other necessities, and loaded them into the flying dragon.

「What’s that」

「What’s that A wyvern.」

「From where」

「In larger cities, wyverns are used for urgent logistical transport.

It’s worth remembering.」

Albert explained and Anorn added.

「It can fly over low mountains.

It can also carry large loads, so it’s convenient.

It’s still early in the morning, so we can be neae the forest we want in the evening and find an inn.」

「Don’t worry about lodging, I’ve already made arrangements.

We were supposed to have one wyvern this time, but the big ones, the one that can carry four people, are out of stock, so we’re down to two flying dragons and two riders, if you’ll forgive me.」

Albert bowed his head to everyone.

Many knights are quite pompous, but Albert keeps a low profile.

It’s a shame that is the only thing that makes him likable.

「You’ve never been to a wyvern before, have you, Alfie」

「Ahh, yes.

That’s right.」

「You’ll be fine.

I’ve driven a wyvern before.

Most of them are well-trained these days.

so it’s easy.」

「You’ve driven it before, Anorn… but I’ve never done it before.」

「Neither Lisa has.」

Admiringly, Alfiris looked at the wyvern, and somehow Anorn was behind it.

「Anorn, what are you doing」

「Tsk, you’re calling me by my name.

If you hadn’t, I’d be stripping in this weather under the sun.」

「Such a pity.

It’s a shame, because I could have made a lot of money out of nothing.」

They both made a「good grief」 gesture, but apparently they were serious.

As expected, Alfiris turned to Anorn in disgust and annoyance, she was licked on the cheek by a wyvern from the side.

「Hyaah」

「Oh, I can’t believe the wyverns even like you.

You’ve got a talent.

You might be able to become not only a Beast Tamer, but also a Dragon Tamer.」

「I— I don’t mind that but please help me~!」

Alfiris is being licked and rubbed against by two wyverns, making her squirm.

「No, please don’t… You can’t me lick me like that… Sto— Nnh~」

「What are you doing in this morning, screaming like that, you disgrace.」

「I— I’m not doing this for the love of… No, don’t do that!」

She may not be aware of it, but it was quite a sensational sight.

It’s also nice that her voice is not so deliberate, Anorn thought.

「(Hmm, I was going to help you, but do you mind if I observe a bit more No, but this is a bit…)」

As Anorn was thinking about this, she noticed that everyone passing by had stopped to take a look at the scene.

A small crowd had begun to gather.

Anorn thought that she should leave it at that, but then…

「What’s all the noise What’s going on」

「Oh, the guards at the west gate.

This is a problem again」

When a man who looked like a guard came out of the crowd, Anorn made an annoyed face.

The guard strode forward towards her with a frown on his face.

「Where the hell do you think you are You’re a suspicious lot, come over here so we can check you out!」

The man who grumpily called out to Alfiris was a greasy-faced, very unattractive looking man.

He looked like the type of man who would do something shady like a physical examination.

「(It’s troublesome, I can’t just punch the guard here and cause a mess…)」

As Anorn pondered what to do, Lisa approached the man with a look in her eyes that said, 「It’s alright.」

「Guard, we’re not suspicious.

We are on our way to Kalam in the northwest on business.

We will be on our way soo, so I hope we won’t bother you too much.」

「What! Your panic is getting more and more suspicious! I’ll have to look into this at all costs!」

With a disgusting smile on his face, the guard reached out to grab Lisa.

But Lisa glared at the guard with a blank expression on her face.

「Is this good」

「Good for what」

The guard’s hand stopped reflexively.

Lisa quickly approached the guard and asked.

「You’re Ron from 3rd Street, aren’t you The one who lives on the second floor of a house with a red roof.

You kissed your boss’s wife in a drunken stupor st a banquet among the guards the other day, didn’t you If your wife and boss find out about this, it’s going to be a very entertaining scene.」

Lisa chuckled, but the blood instead drained from the man’s face.

「Y—You, how did you know…」

「Who do you think Lisa is It’s not just things and people I’m looking for, but also rumors of sorts, you know」

「Hiek—! Please don’t tell my wife or my boss!」

「Now then, what am I going to do… that’s what I am supposed to say but, I’m going to let you off the hook on the condition that you don’t tell anyone what Lisa and the others are doing at the West Gate.

Is that okay」

「I understand…」

Even though he deserved it, the poor gatekeeper wobbled back.

Alfiris knew that what kind of thing she had said to the arms dealer earlier, but she might not want to know the details.

「Ahh, I’m saved.」

「That’s the second time since this morning.

You’re really a pain in the ass.」

「That’s why I’m saying thank you…」

「A thank-you note will not add anything to your life.

I would have asked you to get down on your knees, but that would only be fun for a moment, and there are more effective ways to get you naked.

So let’s call it a bill, and let’s make sure you pay it sooner or later.

If it can’t be turned into money, it’s not worth anything at all.

Remember that.」

With that, Lisa walked off to the wyvern.

Alfiris felt that as if had been told something very scary.

「I’m going to go defeat the archfiend, but I wonder if I’ll be able to do it properly…」

The lack of tension and coordination was beginning to worry Alfiris.

But perhaps that was unavoidable.

Except for Anorn, their knowledge of the Archfiends was limited only to books, they didn’t know that the Archfiend in Kalam was far from the fiends Alfiris had known until now, at this point, there was no way for anyone to imagine it.
