In the blink of an eye, a week has passed since I arrived in La Noscia.
Almost a month has passed since the disaster in Collins Town. Although they came to this foreign country with the intention of finding their family, they have not received any information.
Guided by the "human god," he participated in the mission to defeat the desert dragon, but returned empty-handed, not even knowing who his family members who had been transferred to Robebia were.
Lilith did the same thing, though she kept inquiring about the Seg couple during this time.
Julius was right. Even if one knew what the family members looked like, finding a person in such a vast country as Robebia would be like finding a needle in a haystack, even with the kingdom's army.
Katya was having a great time, and after becoming an adventurer, she went to the guild to take on quests almost every day.
Of course, since she didn't know many words, she could only ask the front desk to take on tasks like eliminating goblins. However, the goblins were truly pitiful at the moment, being chased and killed every day by a novice adventurer. It must have become a psychological trauma for them.
As for the man mentioned in "Melocas", he has not appeared again. In other words, even if he did appear, Lilith might not recognize him.
Lilith mentioned going to the next town to inquire about information, but I rejected that idea, even though we didn't get any information in a week.
But at least I can be sure of one thing: according to the advice of the "human god," one of my family members is currently in "La Noscia."
Although his wicked sense of humor prevented me from easily meeting my family, I knew that as long as I stayed in La Noscia for one more day, we would eventually meet.
I don't know why, but ever since I saw the fragments of Sylvie's clothes, I've had this feeling that she was the one who was transferred to Robbie. Although Nighold said it was hers, I still have a vague feeling that something is wrong, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
Julius suggested that I visit Niggold's house, hoping to find some useful clues. Although it seemed a bit presumptuous and impolite, I did intend to go in a couple of days, but not now.
That concludes our second operational meeting, and ultimately, we still haven't come up with any feasible solutions.
~~~
This time of day is noon in La Noscia, with plenty of sunshine and warmth. However, the temperature drops drastically at night, making it a city with extreme temperature differences between day and night.
I walked quietly in the alley.
Alone.
I don't know why, but I seem to have developed a habit: whenever my inner emotions are complicated and intertwined, I prefer to stay in these very quiet places hidden in the city.
I don't know where Lilith went. Anyway, she's a mature big kid now, and I don't need to restrict her movements. Besides, when I was participating in the raid quests, Lilith was busy running in and out of the guild, so she really needed a rare break.
Katya, on the other hand, was making a fuss about going to fight goblins. She was almost turning into a yelling, problem child. I don't know why. Is this a common problem among girls?
In short, it seems that all the problem children I've encountered so far have been girls, the youngest being Isabel and the oldest being Leah—all of them are quite a handful.
To prevent Katya from becoming such a problem child, it seems I need to find some time to wipe out the goblin's lair so that Katya can give up this idea.
At this point, the goblin's opinion is: "You're so great, so arrogant!"
In short, my thoughts are in a mess right now and I need to sort them out. There are always things worth noting in the advice of the "human god," but I just haven't thought of them yet.
"But where exactly is it? The desert dragon? Or someone from the extermination team?"
To be honest, I didn't have much contact with the members of the extermination squad.
A black-bearded uncle who likes to drink and always laughs?
That's normal... It seems like every adventure team has someone like that who livens up the atmosphere.
The vice-captain, Ogakugi, who enjoys educating children and spouts eloquent platitudes?
To be honest, I don't really like this kind of person. They always have this lecturing look on their face, and although what they say isn't entirely unreasonable... most children don't like this kind of person.
Lu Xiu, the taciturn and taciturn white-robed magician?
No, no, no... Aside from introducing myself, I don't think I managed to say a single word to this guy.
Panty, who is of average appearance?
Um... nothing particularly noteworthy.
Finally, all that's left is our problem child: Yuna.
The guy who kept finding fault with me and targeting me the whole way.
However... during the battle with the desert dragon, his relationship with her began to improve... was it because he saved her many times, thus leaving him with a good impression?
After all, I was betrayed by my teammates before... and in that crisis, I didn't choose to run away, so will their feelings for me change?
But frankly, he's just an immature kid...
There's absolutely nothing worth paying attention to...
The only thing worth paying attention to is... that guy has an A, right...?
No, no, no… It’s noticeably smaller than Isabel’s, smaller… Come to think of it, the problem children in this world are surprisingly well-developed…
If I could just touch and knead it... it would definitely develop into a huge boob like Sylvie's...
No, no, no... wouldn't that be too much of an exaggeration...?
Damn it!
What am I thinking?
Is it because I'm in a quiet place that my thoughts wander to places far, far away?
"Ah! Hahahaha! The great Demon Emperor Cocoshiri Chisilica has descended upon this place! Mortals! Tremble before me! Hahaha... cough cough... hahahaha..."
Just as I was pondering a world-class question, I heard this speech coming from the alley.
Curious about what was happening over there, I leaned out and peeked over.
There was a girl with two goat horns on her head, her hands on her hips, screaming wildly.
—Oh no! Another problem child!
I would immediately give that assessment and then escape into another alley.
Speaking of which, are alleyways in this world places where some kind of problem children hide? How come every time a strange guy pops up in such a place?
"Hey! You brat over there! You've seen the Demon King! Why aren't you coming over here and submitting to me? I'll allow you to become my first subordinate and bestow upon you the title of Demon General!"
—Oh no! We've been discovered!
Realizing this, I quickly started running through the alley. I didn't want to get involved with such a guy. If I caught something strange, that would be really bad.
Yes, our Demon Emperor Cocosiri Chisilica is very lonely, even though she has visited many cities like this before coming to "La Noscia".
Without exception, no one responded to her voice. Even when she stood in the street and roared, she was simply seen as a troubled child with some kind of mental illness who had run away from home.
Now that Leon has appeared, she naturally can't let him go easily, just like the first little brother she took in back then, poor slime.
If you can't mess with the adults, then mess with the kids.
Yes, that's exactly what our Demon Emperor Cocosiri Chisilica was thinking at that moment.
