Returning to the city, he quickly headed to the guild. When we entered the guild, Elena was at the reception, so we walked towards Elena.

"Mr. Lena and Youre!

Then Elena, who noticed us, called out to us in surprise.

"Mr. Elena, what's wrong?

"Oh, well, I haven't seen you in the guild lately and wondered if something happened..."

I might not have come to the guild recently when they said that. Besides, it's not a mistake to say that something happened to Elena...

"... and also about the director of the orphanage where Youre was, didn't something happen to you guys!? I thought so and worried. I've never been to the guild in a long time, so I'm relieved to see you well."

Mr. Elena was grinning bitterly as if she was relieved to say so.

"Well, it's, uh, it's been a little bit of a long time, but we're good now."

"Really...... I know a lot's happened to you, but are you okay with your health or something?

"Yes, sir"

"I think Yua's feeling pretty much better than she's ever been, don't you?

"Huh?"

When I said that, Yua seemed surprised and turned to me. Meanwhile, Mr. Elena nodded as if she was convinced to look at Youre.

"I'm sure you might."

When Elena said that, Yua came to see me and Elena in a bewildered manner.

"... how are you convinced to look at me?

"Because Youre feeling a little better. Look, I hunted demons today, but they were easier to hunt than ever, right?

"That may be, but because Lena dated me as a practitioner and gave me advice and so on..."

"There may be some of that, but I think solving a more fundamental problem also leads to Yua's good health, right?

Yes, I told Yua, but Yua didn't seem to understand why she was doing well. Uh-huh, maybe there's something about my life so far that I haven't noticed? and with that in mind, I told him how Yua was doing well.

"Yua's been eating a decent meal here lately."

"... when you say that, Lena, maybe you've had more decent meals since you had it right?

"I think Yua has often been unable to move well because she hasn't had a proper meal so far. But I'm eating a decent meal right now, so my body's lighter than usual and it's not easy to move?

"... maybe when they say so"

Youre seemed convinced by what I said.

Then Mr. Elena spoke to us loud enough to hear us.

"I may be a little careless, but I think Yua's missing that party also affects me. Yua is better than ever..."

"Ugh, yeah...... But, Lena, I think we've met a lot. Because I've taken care of a lot of things."

Yua smiled shyly when she looked at me as she said so. I gave Mr. Elena a look of surprise for a moment when I held Yua like that from behind. But he immediately looked at us with a smile.

Then remembering that I hadn't sold the demons I hunted today after a while, I asked Elena to appraise the demons I hunted today.

"The assessment of the material has been completed. The purchase of materials, etc. will total four gold coins and seven silver coins."

That's how I received the reward given to me by Mr. Elena.

"And you hunted a lot of demons, even though you had to cut them up early today."

"Because finding demons is not that hard in itself"

"Does that mean you've only fought part of it so far?

"Well, that's the place. Because there was something about Youa, and I avoided the demons in the group."

"Huh?"

Yua raised her voice to her surprise that I was talking about that. Speaking of which, maybe he didn't tell you anything about meeting Yua?

"How come there are so many of them today? I know it's been a long time since I've been active..."

"To see how Youre doing. Unlike before, I had multiple enemies fight because my body was in good motion. Well, Youre seemed to have a little more room, but it's been a long time since I've had an activity, so I've been cutting it up early."

"Really..."

and we had a little conversation with Elena while we had that conversation.

When I finished the conversation, I thanked Elena and walked out to leave the guild behind, and Elena called out loud enough to hear me.

"Mr. Lena," what is it? I thought so and when I looked at Elena, she looked at me with a serious look.

"Regards, Youre"

That's what Elena said and came with her head down. I was a little surprised by the behavior, but speaking of which, I thought Elena was worried about a lot of things because she had known since Yua entered the guild.

"Okay."

When I said that, Mr. Elena looked up and looked horrible. Then I had a little chat with Mr. Elena and then I chased Yua who was walking forward.

Then Yua and I went to the orphanage and spent the night before leaving the orphanage behind.
