Chapter 170: The Information That Came After
While I was relaxing in the living room, I heard a knock at the front door along with someone's voice. The owner of the voice was Leon.When I headed to the entrance and opened the door, Leon was standing there with impeccable posture."Leon, what's up?""I've received some new information regarding that matter, so I came to inform you. If it's convenient, I can explain it immediately. What do you think?""That matter... Ah."Crap. I forgot.I'd asked Leon to look into Lise."About that... there's actually something I need to tell you too.""Then shall we talk inside the carriage? This way, please."Leon gestured toward a luxurious carriage.As always, it looked like an expensive, magnificent carriage.Just as I was about to step outside, I noticed Teresia in the back."Ah, Teresia. I'm going out for a bit, so if anyone comes looking for me, could you let them know?""Eh? Ah, yes. Understood.""Teresia...?"As I stepped outside and headed toward the carriage, I noticed Leon had frozen
Chapter 169: Lise's Proposal
The next day. After waking up in the morning, I left my room.As I walked toward the living room, I spotted Teresia. She seemed to notice me immediately as well."Ah... Lord Zest...""G-Good morning...""G-Good morning..."...It was awkward.After all, that had happened yesterday. There was no way either of us could simply pretend it hadn't.We both stood there in silence, but Teresia was the first to move, walking over to me."I'm sorry about yesterday... I wanted to express my gratitude to you, Lord Zest, but I couldn't hold myself back and got a little carried away...""I-I see... Well, I understand getting excited after being able to see again. So don't worry about it. I don't intend to blame you over something like that.""Uu..."That's right. So what happened yesterday really was just a momentary lapse of judgment.There's no way Teresia is actually like that. It was only temporary, like someone getting drunk.Let's forget about yesterday and just treat her normally from now on.
Chapter 168: Teresia's Gratitude
After Teresia arrived, we talked things over for a bit, and in the end, we decided she'd basically stay here at the mansion, just like Lise. Since she said she'd take care of all the household chores, I decided to leave everything to her.Even though she could now see, she was still blind.As an adventurer, that was far too severe a handicap.So, for the time being, she'd be living here.With this, Lise shouldn't have to feel lonely while we're out on subjugation missions anymore. Fortunately, she and Teresia got along well, too.I never imagined I'd find the kind of person I was looking for in a situation like this. You never know what life's going to throw at you.That night, I was relaxing alone in my room.It was then—"Lord Zest. I'd like to speak with you for a moment. May I come in?""Hm? Ah, sure.""Then, excuse me."The one who opened the door was Teresia. She slowly opened it before stepping inside.She then began walking toward me, but..."...!""Whoa! A-Are you okay!?"Som
Chapter 167: A New Resident
Now that Teresia could see, we decided to return to Celestia for the time being. We'd accomplished our objective, and there was no reason to continue hunting any further.With that, we arrived back in Celestia and headed home to the mansion."Lord Zest, thank you so much for everything today. I will never forget this kindness for as long as I live.""I learned something new from this too. Honestly, it was more like I had you help me test a theory. You don't need to make such a big deal out of it."After all, I hadn't known that Shared Vision would work even for someone who was blind.There might be other skill applications that even I didn't know about. Just discovering that possibility alone had made today worthwhile."If there is anything I can do for you, please tell me. If it is your wish, Lord Zest, I will do anything. This debt can never truly be repaid. Even if it takes my entire life, I shall devote myself to serving you.""N-No, you really don't have to go that far...""But I
Chapter 166: The Light That Illuminates the Darkness
There was no sign of any monsters nearby. It seemed the Queen Ant they had just defeated had been the last one. After confirming the area was safe, I walked over to Teresia."That should keep things safe for a while. Now that the Queen Ant is gone, they shouldn't be able to multiply anymore. Are you alright?""Yes. Thanks to everyone protecting me, I was able to remain unharmed and avoid any attacks from the monsters. Thank you very much.""Glad to hear it. Though honestly, this level of threat could've probably been handled even without me."Big Ants were numerous, but weak. Even the Queen Ant wasn't particularly strong. The others could have dealt with them just fine on their own. That said, I still stayed alert just in case something unexpected happened."That was my first time fighting so many monsters at once. There were even more than when we fought the goblins...""Monsters that appear in numbers like that are pretty rare. Big Ants are more the exception than the rule.""I see.
Chapter 165: Exterminating the Queen Ant
As Big Ants continued pouring out of the nest one after another, everyone moved into action and began taking them down."At this rate, we'll never finish if we kill them one by one... Ah, I've got it! Fiene! I'll gather them together, so wipe them all out at once!""Eh...? O-Okay. Leave it to me."Fiene immediately began chanting.While she did, Lapis raised her bow and activated a skill."They're packed together nicely... There! Gravity Point!"The arrow shot into the swarm and struck one of the Big Ants, killing it instantly. But the skill's effect continued.Using the arrow as its center, the surrounding Big Ants were pulled toward it one after another. They struggled to escape, but more ants kept getting dragged in and pressed against them, blocking each other's movements. Even those that managed to move were hindered by other ants trying to do the same.In no time, a huge cluster of Big Ants had formed around the arrow."Here I go! Flame Javelin!"Fiene finished her chant, formin
