“While we are on the subject, I will tell you this, Rita.”
“Mm?”
“From here on you will surely have dealings with nobles as well. If you judge it necessary, you may use my name. The name of the Witch of Scorching Flame has a fair amount of force. Nobles of about a count’s standing I can silence.”

And this, Mireille says, handing me a small knife. A crest is drawn on the hilt. A knight astride a horse, I think is the motif. Cool.

“The crest of House Balzas. Magic is cast on it, and that alone can prove it is something I held. If you are doubted, you may use that as well.”
“Mm… Thanks.”

This is a huge help. I still don’t understand this world’s human society well. So I want to hold onto anything I can use when it comes to it.
Of course I know it would trouble Mireille, so I don’t intend to use it if I can help it.

“Then, me too.”

I don’t have anything I can hand over like a knife. So what I can do is only a promise.

“If something you can’t handle happens, or you’re in trouble, I want you to come to the Spirit Forest. Call me at the entrance and Spirit-sama will quietly guide you.”
“That is… Is that all right?”
“Mm. What I can do is limited, but.”

I think I can only brute-force things with magic or so. But even so, if you need my power, I want you to rely on me without holding back.
I like Mireille, so I think it’s fine to help her.

“Thank you very much, Rita.”

Saying that, Mireille smiles softly.

‘What a nice talk’
‘It got pretty serious so I stayed quiet’
‘Me too me too’

I thought just a little that I wanted them to stay quiet like that…

 

The next morning. I get up with the sunrise and go outside right away to start streaming. I start the magic as usual.

“Morning. Please give me sweets that could be breakfast.”

‘She’s greeting properly today’
‘She can greet, good girl’
‘But the demand is pretty unreasonable lol’

I think it might be hard. But if there’s something, I want it.

“Well, I’ll leave it to everyone. If I pick, it’ll just be any sweets are fine.”

While I say that I start collecting sweets, and of course a huge amount comes in. This time I expected it so I stop early. Sorry, people who were trying to give and I couldn’t collect.
Looking at the contents, the main things are stick sweets and chocolate bars with writing like they have lots of nutrition.
Also sweets with letters I can’t read. Clearly not Japanese. And there’s no Japanese. From a country with a different language, I guess, but sorry, if I can’t read it I’m scared to eat. I’ll seal these, maybe.

“Thanks for lots of sweets. I’ll eat them with Mireille.”

‘That’s fine’
‘Rather I want to tribute more’
‘Leave it always open, please’
‘If you do that something amazing will happen lol’

Agreed. In a week the Spirit Forest would be buried in sweets, I think. That’s how it’s a little too much lately.
Gon-chan and Pheni-chan eat them too, so maybe I can take a little more, I do think.

‘By the way is Mireille still sleeping?’

“Mm. She’s in a sleeping bag in the living room. I said she can use the bed in Master’s room, but she refuses, says she doesn’t want to soil the memories.”

‘Mireille really is a good person…’
‘Betraying that Mireille really shows how incompetent that trope prince is’
‘But Rita-chan, then you could’ve slept in the same bed, no?’

That’s a bit much. A little embarrassing. And I don’t want my room seen either.

I keep streaming, erase the blackboard, and go back inside. Then Mireille is just getting up.
She crawls out of the sleeping bag, a big yawn. She stretches slowly, turns, and our eyes meet.

“…………”

Mireille going bright red might be a little cute.

‘Cute’
‘Defenseless, nice!’
‘There’s a pervert…’
‘You’re one too’

I think everyone is about the same.

“Morning, Mireille. Here, for breakfast.”
“Ah… Thank you very much… What is this?”

What I put on a plate and handed her is a chocolate bar. A chocolate bar that’s supposedly packed with nutrition. Something like that was written on the bag.
I did take it out of the bag, of course. Mireille would probably keep the secret, but just in case.

“A chocolate bar. It’s delicious.”
“Ahh… So this is chocolate.”

She’s observing the chocolate bar from above and the side like she’s looking at something rare. This world should have chocolate too, but maybe it’s a luxury item?
I think I should have checked, but it’s too late now.
Mireille picks up the chocolate bar and puts it in her mouth like she’s made up her mind.

“Munch… This is a texture I would not think is chocolate. It is crunchy.”
“Mm. Delicious, right?”
“It is extremely delicious.”

She seems to like it, and the chocolate bar is gone in no time.
After breakfast, about the plans after this. There’s just not much to decide. After this we only go back to report.

“I think it again, but working with you, Rita, in a sense seems to throw off one’s sense of time…”
“Mm?”
“Normally a survey request ending in a day is impossible.”

That’s, yeah. It’s only that I already knew a lot. I want her to think the work went easy.

‘This is in a sense a knowledge cheat… is it?’
‘Feels a little different’

I want them to think of it as about as much as a coincidence.

“Then, shall we go soon? I’ll teleport to near the town again, so be careful not to forget anything. If you forget I’ll bring it when I notice, though.”
“I am fine. I have the documents I put the information together in as well.”
“Mm.”

Preparations complete, then. I look around the room last too, confirm I don’t seem to have forgotten anything, and teleport.
