Yup, that looks great on you.
You look lovely, Lady Luka.
"Lady"? No, I'm not a lady.
I do beg your pardon.
But you are my master's daughter.
Therefore, I shall address you as "Lady."
Alrighty, why don't we go out?
Go out?
Where are we going?
I'm going to introduce you to your older brothers and sister.
And I need to go say hi to some people who helped me out before we move.
Okay?
An Introduction, a Carriage, a Maid, and Moving
I bet it's surprising to see this many people, huh?
That's the marketplace. You can find anything you want to eat there.
That's the Adventurers' Guild.
That's where we adventurers get a lot of ques—we get a lot of jobs.
That's the castle.
A castle... Like where a king or a princess lives?
Yup, exactly. And...
This is the Ejidd River. We're going to take a boat and head over there.
You adopted her?!
This is Luka, your new little sister.
It's nice to meet you, Luka. I'm Mai-Mai.
You can call me Big Sister Mai-Mai.
Big Sister Mai-Mai...
I love the sound of that!
And that's...
I am Roxilius.
I never knew you had a butler, Mother.
H-Here you go, Miss Cayna, Little Miss Luka.
Thanks, Lonti.
Thank you...
Um... Would you like some tea, Roxilius?
I am fine, thank you.
I-I see...
You're always full of surprises, Mother.
You went to look for some Palace of the Dragon King and came back with a child.
And when you came to the royal capital...
You caught a runaway prince,
sent the High Priest flying into the ceiling,
annihilated the bandits that were giving the knights trouble all on your own,
and defeated an Event Monster like it was child's play.
Mother, your life is so eventful.
I can't help but think I'm some kind of deterrent in this world.
By the way, Mai-Mai...
Now that I've got a new daughter named Luka,
I'm going to build a house near my tower,
and I'm going to settle down there.
Not in the royal capital?
I want Luka to grow up carefree and surrounded by nature.
Besides, if I stay here,
I'm afraid Skargo will try to attack me every day.
True...
True.
Now, then...
I'm going to go see Skargo and Kartatz. Could you let them know for me?
Could you also tell Kartatz, "I'm going to build a house, so I'd love some lumber.
It'd make me so happy to have a lot."
Very well.
Ah, a new little sister!
Welcome to our family!
Skargo...
I'm very sorry, Mother Dearest!
It's okay. He's just a weirdo. He's not actually scary.
He's just a weirdo?
Let's try these introductions again.
This is my son, Skargo.
Big Brother Skargo?
Ah, my precious little sister!
Just think of him as your pathetic, weird older brother, who holds a high rank,
but is only remembered for producing his own special effects.
'Kay.
Mother Dearest, you don't have to say it like that...
You deserve every word of it.
But, Mother Dearest...
These effects are what make me who I am. They are my identity!
I'm telling you to get rid of that identity.
But... you're the one who raised me to be this way, are you not?
He's got a point, Cayna.
So this lad is Master's son.
I see.
So, yeah. I'm going to be living in the village near my tower.
If you need anything, you can contact me there.
Very well. In that case, I think I'll also move my church over there—
Yeah, don't.
Mother Dearest...
Okay, I'll be taking all of this.
That should be plenty.
Yup.
This should be plenty to build a house or two. Thanks, Kartatz.
I'm not a kid. Stop patting me on the head.
You're my little sister, huh? Pleased to meet ya.
It's nice to meet you.
What a good little lass.
You're such a good boy, Kartatz.
Damn it, stop patting my head.
You're so personable, unlike Skargo.
I wonder if it's because you're so old and wise.
Old and wise? You're way older than I am.
Ah, I see.
So you've adopted a daughter.
And you're moving to that village? We sure will miss you.
It's not like we'll never see each other again.
I was hoping you'd be our caravan's dedicated bodyguard.
And we wanted you to join the Flame Spears, too.
I guess we'll just have to give up.
Yeah.
You can call me at any time, though I may not be able to help every time.
Oh, by the way, Cayna...
Moving will be an expensive proposition.
Yes, I'm sure it will.
If you need anything,
please stop by my shop. I assure you, it's got everything.
Maybe she's tuckered out from meeting so many new people.
I'll try to get us a ride for our journey.
Could you take Luka back to the inn for me?
You can count on me. Where are you headed, Master?
I figured I'd stop by Elineh's shop since I'm here.
That's, uh...
Elineh has been beautified by 300 percent.
One Cayna... Two Caynas?!
Meow, meow. Meow, meow. Meow, meow...
Are you trying to change your image?
Hello?
Welcome. Is this your first time here?
Oh, yes.
This employee is another kobold, just like Elineh.
Um, what kind of shop is this?
We have everything from household items to swords you can use as an adventurer.
Uh-huh...
I see. It's probably like Ama•••. I definitely used •••zon a lot.
I got my stuff immediately, even at the hospital.
Miss?
Oh, um... I was looking to buy a carriage. Do you have one?
We have everything other than the things we don't have.
Ooh! Way to go, Ama••• Prime!
Right this way, please.
These are our latest models.
Wow, there are a lot to choose from.
This one is an older model,
but its elaborate decorations make it quite popular.
It's so fancy.
I mean, pretty much anything will work, but...
That one is not for sale,
but it's the model our caravan had been using until recently.
It's old now, so it's slated for disposal.
So that's the one Elineh was using?
Come to think of it, it does look familiar.
That's the one that was attacked by the laigayanma larva.
Oh!
Please excuse my rudeness!
Huh?
Would your name happen to be Miss Cayna?
Uh... Yeah, it is.
Very well!
Then you needn't pay for this item.
Please go ahead and take it.
What?!
Miss Cayna,
I'm sure you must be wondering why,
but those are the president's orders.
President... You mean Elineh?
Yes.
He just instructed me
to let you have your first purchase for free if you stopped by.
I appreciate it, but Elineh doesn't need to do that for me.
You're just as my husband said you'd be.
Husband?
I should've mentioned this earlier.
My name is Armuna. I am Elineh's wife.
What?!
Oh, hello! It's a pleasure to meet you!
Oh, please! You don't need to bow!
I had no idea Elineh was married.
My husband deeply appreciates everything you've done for him.
Please consider this a token of our gratitude and a housewarming gift.
Okay... If you say so.
Yes. What shall we do? Would you like it delivered to the inn later?
No, I'll just take it with me.
Take it with you?
Item Box
Elineh's Carriage
Like this.
Oh, I see.
Please come again.
Sure. Next time, I'll do some real shopping. Say hi to Elineh for me.
I will. We'll be waiting for your return.
We'll be waiting for your return.
Right...
So, yeah.
We're going to be leaving tomorrow.
We'll go to the village, build a house, and live there.
What should I do?
Hmm... I guess you can do some chores for a while. Like cleaning up and stuff.
I don't actually know what household chores are like.
I was always at the hospital, so I wasn't home much.
I wonder what kinds of household chores are essential.
I guess I can ask a professional housekeeper.
So, Rox...
Yes, Master?
I don't know what I should have Luka do at our new home.
I see... Then why don't I run everything in your household?
What? But your statute of limitations...
You're making it sound like I've committed a crime.
Wait, are you going away?
Well, you see... There is nothing left in the place where I once was.
I'm not even sure if I can return there.
Ah, I see.
Since Leadale's not running anymore,
I guess maybe all the systems that were in place are in limbo.
In that case...
Can I have you look after Luka at our new home?
Of course.
Isn't that great? Rox will teach you all kinds of things.
Yeah.
Also, if I may...
Huh? What did you need?
I was wondering if you could summon Roxine.
Summon Cie?
I believe it would be beneficial to Lady Luka if she had a female attendant.
Though I would much rather not ask her for anything.
I guess you two never got along very well.
If she didn't start these petty squabbles, I would never retaliate.
I see. I guess we're calling Cie, too.
That actually sounds like it'll be pretty fun.
Let's not wait.
It has been too long, Lady Cayna.
I, Roxine, am at your service.
It's been a while, Cie.
Seeing that you have summoned me while this numbskull is already here,
is it safe to assume that this numbskull acted inappropriately?
Cie, this is Luka, my daughter.
My name is Roxine.
I-I'm Luka.
I'd like you to take care of Luka at our new home.
As you wish.
I, Roxine, I will make sure to raise Lady Luka into a fine lady
who will never bring you shame, wherever she may go.
Uh, you don't need to raise her into a lady.
Just raise her normally so she can be herself.
I see. Very well.
Meaning, you are requesting the minimal amount of care.
Yeah, just let her be. I don't think she's used to people pampering her so much.
Um... take care of me?
From getting dressed in the morning to your bath at night,
Roxine will help you with everything.
But I don't deserve any of that.
Then let's have them take care of both of us.
Is that better?
Okay...
But honestly, if you were going to bother summoning this numbskull,
you could've summoned me first.
Who are you calling a numbskull? Know your place.
You and I both live to serve our master.
They really don't get along, even though they're so much alike.
We're all going to be a family, so try not to fight so much.
No cutting down trees in the city, destroying homes,
or throwing people, either!
Make sure you behave yourselves so you can set an example for Luka.
I owe a lot to the village we're about to live in.
If you mess with the people or the common property, I'll get mad.
Very well, Lady Cayna.
Understood.
Jeez...
All right, let's go!
Where's the horse? This carriage won't move without one.
Oh, don't you worry your pretty little head.
Just watch.
Don't be frightened, Lady Luka.
Yes. It's not as frightening as Roxine, Lady Luka.
What was that?
You must be hearing things.
Tch...
Well done, Master.
Excellent, Lady Cayna.
All right. Hop in.
Let's go!
I'm thinking about moving here with my daughter and attendants.
I hope you don't mind.
Oh, I see. All right. I'm sure everyone will be happy you're here, Cayna.
So you're going to stay here forever, Miss?
It's sure gonna get lively.
I'm Lytt. I'm the daughter of this pub's owner.
It's nice to meet you.
I'm Luka. It's nice to meet you.
Yeah! Let's be friends!
Oh, sorry. Did that hurt?
No... I'm okay.
Thank goodness!
Luka, was it? I hope she enjoys living here.
Yes.
So... who are these two?
I apologize for my late introduction.
I will also be living here along with Lady Cayna as her attendant.
My name is Roxilius.
It is a pleasure to meet you.
Yes, he is nothing but a lowly servant. Please use him as you will.
Use him like you would a dirty rag, until there's naught but fur left.
I am also an attendant. My name is Roxine. It's a pleasure to meet you.
What a rather mean, er, unique attendant you've got there.
I'm so sorry.
Once our house is done, it'll probably be best not to let Roxine out too much.
So considering you've got these nice attendants,
you must be from an important family.
It's actually a long story... More importantly,
how's Mimily doing?
Oh, Mimily is...
There is a song
That you can only hear
On a night with shooting stars
The blue wave guides my fin
She's doing laundry.
Why is Mimily doing laundry?
Lytt found out that I can control water, so she suggested I run a laundry business.
Lytt ended up telling everyone in town before I could give a proper answer,
and then this happened.
I guess I underestimated how proactive kids are.
Yes, but I'm having fun.
It makes everyone in the village happy,
and I can earn a wage, so it's killing two birds with one stone.
She always gets everything so clean. It's a huge help.
We don't have to spend time on laundry, which is great.
Yeah.
It's wonderful.
I see.
She's pretty reliable.
Lullaby...
Well, I need to start the preparations, so I'll be heading back now.
Preparations?
For what?
What else?
We're throwing a welcome party to celebrate you two living here.
It's going to be huge!
We're having a huge feast tonight!
Okay.
N-No, I'm good on parties...
What are you talking about?
You're officially becoming a member of our village.
A welcome party is a necessary ritual.
Uh, well... Okay, but please go easy on me.
Looks like you're going to get black-out drunk and have a hangover again.
