The Strongest Wingless Gargoyle

I've learned about Ginn's past.

Then there's the reason for pursuing personal information…

Why the Sahagin people's guins who live in the sea live on land...

The reason for this was to search for the Trident lost in the sea, a being that the Sahaggins call their partner.

"Trident... or I hope it's a clue"

Thanks to Ginn for the past few days, I'm having a good time working.

If it weren't for him I would have been alone in this city...... but Leese and Cliff are busy so we would have been in a similar situation.

Thanks also to Ginn for talking to me then.

It's still a mystery why we talked about it.

From me, I may have felt a charisma or something like that, unlike those gargoyles out there.

Well, whatever it is, I think we're doing pretty well now.

Even if you subtract the first minute you tried to fool me, you've been helpful enough.

You can look for my people in the shadows.

I hope I can repay Ginn in any way.

It's somewhere in the city of Menardo, Gin's Trident.

Trident is a demon spear, and we're talking about Gin's magic, so you can look all over the city for magic similar to Gin's.

I can look for spears if I can detect magic.

However, if we can get some closer to the spear...

The city is the largest in the territory of Demon King Cliff.

It's huge.

No matter how much more extensive magic sensing I can do than others, I have a maximum radius of 100 meters at best.

I can't tell whose magic it is without approaching the subject somewhat.

Hundreds of meters is also the biggest story, and if you use magic sensing too extensively, you get too much information coming in and it flakes in your head.

There are things like a 10-meter radius that can be used all the time without having to.

I mean... what are you trying to say?

Finding a Trident is extremely difficult.

At a radius of ten meters, you'll know if you're just wrong with the guy in possession of the Trident.

(Still better than nothing)

Ginn is right, if you really have a Trident in this city of Menardo, you should be a little bit careful when traveling.

If we sense similar magic, let's get closer.

Well, I can't help but think in a hurry.

It's not like I can think about it or come up with a good idea right away, so let's look for it in temper.

If someone is in possession of a demon spear and not on the move all the time or something, if you look around the city to smudge and crush it, you'll find it sooner or later.

Change your mind and leave the Gin Trident thing alone for now.

First things first, how we're going to spend it.

This afternoon is free time.

I've been working on a request lately, and just like Ginn, I'd like to stretch my wings a little.

Well, where should we go?

Even if you return to the castle, Liese and Cliff are busy, so it is Nashi's direction to return to the castle.

Whatever, I can't help but roam near Ginn's house.

In the meantime, let's just say we move this place.

Do you want to go to a park with a view of the sea, which Gin showed you before?

The park is about a foot north of here.

There's a stall open nearby, and we'll figure out what to plan for the afternoon with a pinch of snacks.

I ate lunch, but I still have room in my stomach.

I relax and walk towards the park.

Then I saw him somewhere.

"Hmm? Is he..."

When I got to the park, a girl with blue hair ponytails was sitting on the bench.

The first time I came to Menardo's guild, I talked about it, it's a girl named Luminaria, a water dragon.

She hasn't noticed what I look like yet.

She opened the book with both hands, how she was reading.

On the left side of the bench was a container containing a beverage, supposedly bought from a stall.

…………

Memories of the retrospective past......

She's been asking for a handshake of friendship, but my spirit was unstable, so you snapped your hand.

Yeah, whatever it was, that response wasn't very popular.

Just a little reflection.

(It's a good opportunity...)

My mental state is calm now... but relatively stable.

There will be no rejection as before.

(Apologize for a word...)

I don't even have anything else to do today.

It's easier to get this done early.

Maybe we can team up together at work in the future.

Keep your friendship up and you won't lose it.

But... what.

(What can I talk to you about...)

It's easy for someone who doesn't care about details like Reese.

I'm a little confused about talking to you, too.

When I look at her from afar...

A stranger appears before her.

When they notice you're staring at it, it's me.

I hide in the shadows of an affordable tree and observe her from a slightly remote position.

I wonder what you've been doing since daylight.

He's a complete suspicious man if you look at him from another guy.

You sound like a stalker. Me.

"Hey Luminaria, how are you?

"Oh, hello, Sagina"

Speaking to Luminaria was a yellow and black tiger striped wartiger.

"Are you off today? Thank you for your help in the meantime, but I think I can make some new gear out of Cesar Pent's tail."

"No, I have a relatively surplus of Cesar Pent material..."

"Because I'm really bad at sea fights because of my race traits, it's very helpful. Thank you. I'll have dinner next time."

"Yes, you're looking forward to it"

Apparently, a fellow mercenary who's been asked to join us.

Properly public speaking, Wartiger left.

A few minutes later, a woman appeared this time with an elf wife-like atmosphere.

"Oh, Luminaria, how are you feeling?"

"Hello Franço"

"Ugh, you look cute today. Oh, beautiful necklace. Hey, I got it from my boyfriend, huh?

Necklace Hey, it's fashionable...

It's a girl, and it's not weird.

I'm not interested in Reese doing that.

It feels like some kind of fresh conversation.

"I don't have a boyfriend, I bought this the other day from an open-air dealer in the harbor."

"Really? I wish I could make someone nice because I was born in a pretty face."

"Haha, well, I'll think about it"

Talk appropriately, Luminaria.

Even then, a few people greet her...

Ginn said I've been in this city for three months, but you look a lot wider...

"Hey Luminaria, are you free today? Here's a pair of tickets to the Razors Troupe..."

"Sorry, I saw that play three days ago with Mr. Andro..."

From inviting dates, thanks, consultation for every concern.

It seems true that Ginn said it was popular in the city as well as in the guild.

All right, I can't help but observe forever.

Come on, I have to go apologize...

The reason I'm confused isn't that I'm nervous because I'm a pretty girl.

Because unless the other guy is a DM, my impression of me is definitely a negative one.

Talking to someone like that is only a little brave.

I hope you're not too concerned about the handshake.

It's not like me stepping off into the personal space (private bath) of the first demon king I met.

Well, if you have to, you just need to storm with momentum.

I want to create a flow of apologies that feels natural if possible.

That's easier to feel.

When I think in my head of crap...

The ball rolled over to Corollo and Luminaria.

Eventually the trick and the ball touches her shoe tip.

"Hmm?"

Notice that Luminaria has touched the ball and place the reading book on the bench.

And pick up the ball at your feet with both hands.

"I'm sorry."

It was the young boys in the elves who came running to Tokotoko and her (Luminaria).

I was playing ball and the ball seemed to roll at Luminaria's feet.

"Yes, ball. Be careful, it's windy."

"Thank you, sister!

Luminaria hands the ball to one of the boys.

The other boys continued, "Thank you," and left.

Luminaria then returns to reading time again.

(This... might work)

Seeing the boys interact with Luminaria, the idea behind my brain flashed.

All you have to do is make a kick-ass talk here.

I'm nervous because I try to apologize.

Apologize to the public (...) and it feels light.

Wouldn't that be a nice flash inside?

All you have to do is think about what kind of kick you want.

Do you take the form of things flying up to her feet, like the elf boys?

But I don't have a ball, do I?

Do you use something else?

Well, I only have about a luggage bag.

You can't just throw the poisonous grass in it, and what are you gonna do?

…………

Well... okay, even a luggage bag.

There is also a slight problem with the way the changes are shaped.

Let's set it to "I'm feeling like a wolf, I'm in good shape, and I'm walking in a luggage bag, and the bag slips out of my hand and falls to her (Luminaria) feet."

Let's go pick it up by accident until I get to her and mix the apology from the other day into the conversation.

... That was a bit of a long setup, sorry.

Pretty strong, but I'll think about the details later.

Never bothered me to think.

I also simulated the conversation lightly in my head.

The results are good.

Luckily no-one is near her now, it would be the best time.

All right, let's go!!

I stop hiding in the shadow of a tree, swinging my luggage bag around, approaching her.

"Phew Phew Phew."

It's okay, I can... It feels natural, it feels natural.

All right, here it is!!

"Humph, ah!!

Predicting the timing, I'll let go of the bags.

Of course the surprised voice is acting.

I don't throw too cluttered because it's a bag that Didarian made for me.

At best a part of it is dirty with sand.

I want you to forgive me because this bag will be a bridge of friendship between me and her.

All right, in good shape, the luggage bag is for the luminaria...

At the foot of the luminaria at the target landing point, a parabola is drawn and the luggage bag flies away.

Yeah, control's perfect, that's me.

But... it was then that I was convinced of the success of the operation.

Buuuuuuuuuuu

"Ah!!

A strong wind blew... at the worst possible time.

I just couldn't calculate it to the wind.

The bags are light because they don't contain much luggage.

Naturally...

The flying distance... increases.

"Humph!!

A luggage bag hits the face of the luminaria directly.

A citrus-like yellow liquid falls freely from the beautiful face…

The book is well... a lot of damage.

When she bumped into her, she (Luminaria) seemed to have just tried to include a drink in her mouth, which was too bad.

Besides, I guess I didn't notice the luggage bag flying from the top because my gaze was on the book at hand.

Also, he seemed to concentrate on reading the book and my voice wasn't in his ear either.

Have a drink in your left hand, a book in your right hand..., your eyes below...

Luggage bags flying in there.

The result is... as you can see.

Direct hit.

You behaved properly, put the book on the bench, and then a drink wouldn't have turned out so badly...

Without checking on her, I threw a baggage bag. Me, too.

…………

Not if you say so.

(Yabe, it's catastrophic)

The place is filled with silence.

Kick, awkward...... too awkward.

Uh, hey, what the hell am I supposed to do after this?

My head panics lightly.

Calm down, I, calm down!

Remember, the dialogue I simulated with my head...

Yep...... yes!!

"Thanks, sister!!

"Huh!!!

Chi... you're not!!

You're not. Me!!

This is the elf boys' dialogue earlier.

I didn't envisage a pattern of failure.

If this happens, I'll have to go adrift.

"Uh, sorry, the..."

Silence doesn't make things any better.

Speak to her with the utmost courage.

I want to compliment myself for not running away here.

…………

After generating 'Water Bullet (Water Ball)' from the palm of your hand and washing your face.

Remove the handkerchief from the back and wipe the face Luminaria.

It's silent... the air stings.

Luminaria with her face cleansed and her vision secured.

Her gaze captures me.

I can see a little surprise from that look.

To her, I seemed like an unexpected opponent.

"Oh, about me... remember?

What if they forgot?

I think to myself that only impact was an encounter.

I'm pretty sure my presence in this case was engraved into her memory.

"Mr. Alberto...... right? of Gargoyle, who was next to Elsa when she previously ordered Kraken's request…"

"Oh, oh... yeah, it's Alberto. Chi, I need to talk to you for a second, okay?

Keep the conversation going, even though you're stuck in words.

Ugh, sweat is coming out of my whole body.

"... one thing before that, okay?

Her face is laughing, but those eyes aren't laughing at all.

I'm scared...

"Oops... come on, come on"

"Mr. Alberto... is there something resentful about me, too?

…………

Long time no see...

How do we get through this?
