Adventurer's Guild Café: I Was Wrongfully Exiled by the Saint, So I Will Enjoy My Second Life with My Fluffy Friends-Chapter 1V2. .3 - Fat Piyo

Today is a day off. I used to work as much as I could, but I was told that after working for four days, I must take at least one day off, so now I make sure to take proper vacations.

At first, I didn’t know what to do on my days off and often felt lost, but recently I’ve gotten into organizing my room and going out to the city.

Today as well, I went out to the city with the fluffy ones while enjoying the pleasant morning sunlight.

“By the way, this whole thing seems a bit suspicious, doesn’t it?”

“Indeed, it’s strange,” Kurona replied.

Walking next to me are Ellen and Kurona, both guild staff members. They live in the same dorm as me and are my friends.

Today is a special sale on clothes, so the three of us took the day off to go out to the city.

Ellen, with her beautiful golden hair swaying, furrowed her brows.

“After all, there’s supposed to be a Saint, but nothing’s getting better, is it?”

“In the Eastern Guild, they say adventurers are being sent to the Aluda Kingdom.”

Kurona is a species known as a fey cat, about my waist height, and looks like a two-legged cat. With her sleek coat and well-defined features, Kurona is a very beautiful cat.

“It feels like, not too long from now, adventurers might be sent from the Silver Wolf King’s Shield as well,” Kurona continued.

“Really? Is that so?”

“If the unrest doesn’t calm down, it’s possible,” Kurona said.

Hearing about the current situation in the neighboring country, Aluda, I felt apologetic.

Aluda is supposed to have the Saint Meltia, but the situation hasn’t improved at all. On the contrary, it seems to have gotten much worse.

Due to the monsters that have appeared in the city, going outside is prohibited, and even the academy has been shut down. Aluda was once a peaceful country without the threat of dungeons or monsters, so the current situation is causing quite a stir.

“The Saint who kicked out Kuna... she’s definitely suspicious. Just from hearing a bit of information, I was already tilting my head,” said Kurona.

“...Is that so?”

“Well, if there is a Saint, why isn’t she driving away the miasma?”

“Th-that’s true. I wonder what Meltia-sama is doing now...?”

“Maybe, just like my healing power, the Saint’s abilities might develop gradually. If that’s the case, that would be bad...”

“Suspicious. Too suspicious.”

Ellen, sucking her fruit juice, puffed up in anger.

By the way, both Kurona and I are holding fruit juices as well.

It’s currently popular in the city to drink and walk around like this.

“Ellen, you’re angry because if adventurers are sent to Aruda Kingdom from our guild, there will be more paperwork to deal with,” Kurona said.

“Ah, you figured it out?”

With a playful tongue-out gesture, Ellen laughed.

“Well, I just really don’t like that Saint who kicked out Kuna!”

“...Do you think this situation might cause damage to Grantania as well?”

When I asked, Kurona shook her head.

“If damage happens, it will be fine. This country is large, and anyway, there are plenty of skilled adventurers.”

Hearing that, I felt a little relieved.

It’s not my fault, but since it’s about my country, I still feel a sense of guilt.

“Ah, right! Didn’t you say you wanted some accessories for Pipi and the others?” Ellen suddenly clapped her hands.

“Since we’re here, let’s go look at some accessories!”

Wandering around the city aimlessly, we decided to go look for accessories for Pipi and the others at Ellen’s suggestion.

“Wow...”

I couldn’t help but let out a subtle sound.

“R-Really, you all have grown so much...?”

“Pip?”

We had come to a shop that sells imitation jewelry. Since you can buy cute accessories at a cheap price, the store was full of young girls.

Lulu likes to wrap ribbons around her neck, so I thought I would buy matching ribbons for Pipi and the others... but...

“Th-There’s no neck...”

That’s right. Before I could put ribbons around their necks, all three of them had gotten so round that there was no neck to wrap the ribbon around.

It must be because I’ve been giving them too many sweet things. Before I knew it, they had grown so big and chubby... I could hear Ellen laughing while holding her stomach.

“This definitely calls for a diet!”

“Are they going to explode like last time?”

When Kurona said that, both Ellen and I froze, instinctively pulling away from Pipi and the others. After all, when they were raised in Solaris’s barn, the turned into a huge Mocomott. It had exploded into the Pipi we know now. There’s a chance... isn’t there?

As we were panicking, Kurona added, “Could they be about to evolve soon?”

I looked at the Mocomotts. They were sparkling with excitement, looking at the accessories. They were a little chubby, but I remember thinking that Lulu had also gotten fat around the time she evolved.

“That might be possible.”

I couldn’t help but murmur.

“Maybe it’s better to get the accessories after they evolve...”

Still slightly nervous, I led Ellen, and that day we only bought a light blue ribbon with imitation pearls attached that Lulu liked, then left the store.

“Huh? Kuna-chan?”

As we were heading back to the guild, we passed by Beryl’s bakery, which was Solaris’s family business (the Silver Ribbon gets their bread supplied from this bakery), and the aunty called out to me.

“That’s strange. I swear, I just saw you walking down this street a moment ago.”

“Huh?”

The aunt tilted her head.

“You didn’t seem to notice when I called out to you earlier, so I thought maybe you were busy, but was it really someone else...?”

It happened again. This sounded very similar to the story Rouge-san told me the other day. Maybe, just maybe, the White Wolf Clan really has come to this town.

That day, I returned to the guild, carefully observing the town. But in the end, I never did come across the person who seemed to be from the White Wolf Clan.
