Chapter 179.2. My Adorable Younger Brother And Sister

This is not a good thing. I’m deeply remorseful. I never imagined that there would be such side effects from my recovery magic.

I think my mother might be happy even with the struggles and hardships she went through.

I believe in that time. It will become a cherished memory.

So, deep down, Mii-chan is feeling down.

I need to make up for my mistakes and raise my spirits.

“If everything is fine, let’s go back home and have a party for the twins!”

Maybe they won’t even need to start solid foods. Well, they won’t need them…

We should turn our failures into lessons and welcome them wholeheartedly.

“We need to prepare lots of treats!”

“Oh, then how about going hunting for the Greater Hornbear Cow? Tamamo and the others might be able to join in the hunt!”

“Oh, that mysterious meat! I want to go!”

Finally, we might uncover the true identity of the Hornbear Cow, and I fully support it. What kind of monster could it be?

“In that case, we need to obtain permission to enter the Ranch Dungeon. I’ll take care of the preparations.”

Yamiyo smiles and starts operating her wristband-shaped device. The Ranch Dungeon is a dungeon where people raise edible monsters. From growing rice and vegetables to raising various monsters, each family cherishes this dungeon as a source of income.

“When it comes to big dungeons around here, where could it be…? Any place is fine, but let’s go with the Teijou Marquisate’s dungeon.”

“Ranko-san, what about the Yakuno family’s Ranch Dungeon?”

I ask Ranko-san, who is using Iron Claw on the peacefully sleeping while hugging a stuffed animal Nimue. I wonder if Nimue is truly Mii-chan’s guardian.

“I’ll ask you to wait for a moment. I’ll quickly search for the relevant dungeon.”

Ranko-san also operates the wrist-type device and begins searching. As she excitedly holds hands with Tamamo and dances, Mii-chan’s wrist device also lights up. Wonder what it is?

“Sorry, it seems I received a message from someone.”

She removes it slightly and steps out of the room.

“It’s Mii-chan!”

She presses the communication button.

“It’s from Poyo Poyo Trading. It’s about the plush toy you reserved. But due to limited stock. There will be a delay in delivery.”

A cheerful woman conveys the message, and Mi-chan’s face turns disappointed, saying, “Aww, I wanted that plush toy to be palm-sized. So, when will it be available?”

“Yes, I wanted to discuss the date and time.”

Mii-chan, full of disappointment, negotiates with the person on the other end of the call.

However, the reality is different from what it seems.

Another person appears before her through thought communication. Of course, only Mii-chan can see them.

[Eunor. Is there something wrong?]

[Yes! Your Excellency, we received an urgent message. After conveying it to Frigg-sama. We get instructed to inform you as well.]

Saluting sharply is Eunor, one of the Nine Heroes. He’s a former military man with a stern personality and a military-like way of speaking. With a serious and strict expression, he is a tall man.

He fully utilizes his military background and is responsible for information assessment and commanding combat units.

He’s essentially the leader. After all, Nimue can’t become a leader. I believe she lacks any potential.

[What happened?]

Leaning against the wall and discussing the plush toy, they communicate through telepathy. It’s unusual to receive contact during the daytime. Although it would be acceptable for Frigg-oneesan to contact me, it’s unlikely to be an emergency.

It was probably a training exercise to see if the organization could operate normally. Mii-chan is also a possible training candidate.

[We received a report from our subordinate that people have appeared searching Scarecrow.]

[People looking for Scarecrow itself? They specifically came for Scarecrow?]

[Exactly. They inquired about the whereabouts of Scarecrow.].

Narrowing my eyes and crossing my arms, I contemplate the situation. Indeed, this could warrant an urgent message.

[I had thought it was meaningless since Scarecrow had been left alone for a while, but it seems we’ve finally caught a fish in the net. Any information on their identity? Have you investigated?]

[No, they used a high-level disguise artifact, so their identity remains unknown. We are currently tailing them.]

[High-level, hmm… In that case, be extremely cautious during the pursuit. There’s a possibility they’re skilled magicians.]

[Of course. I have instructed my subordinates to tail them with the utmost care. Yashibu and Saksara are scheduled to take over the surveillance.]

It seems they have given clear instructions. That’s where Mochi Shop-san’s expertise shines, and it’s reassuring.

[I’m curious to know who these people are, coming to meet Scarecrow.]

The abandoned detective agency in the mixed-use building was bought and transformed into a small shop selling miscellaneous goods. Now, it seems someone who piqued their interest has finally appeared.

If it turns out they knew about Loki, it could be interesting. With a sharp gleam in her eyes, Miu expressed her anticipation.
