「Zeph…!」
What a coincidence .
Being extremely surprised, both Silverie and I stood rooted to the spot .
Startled, Silverie hurriedly adjusted her collar, thrust her hands into her coat, and cleared her throat .
「…T-T-to meet you here, wha… what a coincidence right, Zeph?」
Your voice is all shaky, Silverie . It’s obvious that she’s losing her composure .
Realizing that I was shocked, Silverie started to explain herself before I even said anything .
「Don’t be mistaken . It’s really a coincidence that we met here . I do have some things to do around here . 」
「Ah I see . It’s quite an amazing coincidence though . 」
「Y-yeah I think so too!」
What is unsettling her?
It’s just a meeting after a long while . It feels like she’s overreacting, but anyway it’s good to see that she is healthy .
「…even so, I’m glad to see you, Silverie . 」
「…! G-good that you understand… but I also feel a little… y’know, that too . 」
While speaking, Silverie pulled her hands out from her coat and crossed her arms .
Putting her hands in and out of her coat, what a busy person .
Silverie calmed down a little .
「…more importantly, didn’t you mention that you wanted to pass me something?」
「Oh, that’s right!」
Silverie was supposed to hand me a fragment of the crystal ring so that I can initiate contact with her by telepathy .
The ring which was stuffed into Shirushu’s pocket previously has already been returned to me . Since Shirushu is already a guild member, we no longer need the fragment for telepathy .
Thrusting my hand into the pouch, I was about to return my crystal fragment to Silverie .
「Heyy, I was thinking of using this though…」
Milly’s voice was heard from behind me .
「Mm still~, isn’t that fine too? Since it’s big . 」
「This one’s cheaper, and cute too . Which one does Shirushu-san prefer?」
Next were Lydia’s and even Claude’s voices .
「I’m fine with anything, Zeph-san can decide . Ah, Zeph-san . 」
Last to speak was Shirushu .
The four people approached me in succession .
Seeing a frozen Silverie, they looked towards her with curious eyes .
「Oh? Is this someone Zeph-chi knows?」
「Nice to meet you . 」
「Zeph, who is this?」
「…! You are…!」
Each person spoke, but only Claude seemed to be on guard against Silverie, having met her before while together with me .
Hmm… how should I go about explaining this?
「Ah that, how do I say this? About this girl…」
At that moment, Silverie abruptly turned around and walked briskly away .
「Oi, Silverie?! Where are you going?!」
Without paying any heed to my voice, Silverie teleported somewhere far away as soon as she left the shop .
Everyone was in a daze at the situation .
Just what had happened?
「…so, who was that?」
Milly was lightly tugging at my sleeve .
Umm, what is a good way to explain this…
「She’s a fellow magician I got to know before . Her name is Silverie . 」
「Hmm~ but, why did she run away upon seeing us?」
「She gets shy easily . 」
「Hehh~ a shy person, I see~ 」
Claude glared at me with a reproachful look .
Previously, when we defeated a boss, the drop item was taken away by Silverie . Although it was considered acceptable conduct, Claude was infuriated at that . It appears that she is the type to bear deep grudges .
「…well, I’ll introduce her again when the time comes . 」
In any case, Silverie did not manage to hand me the crystal fragment again this time . Guess I’ll have to wait for her to contact me again .
In the end, we bought the tent which Milly chose, and other clothes, food and daily necessities to end our shopping trip .

We also took a look at the guild house, but it was expensive as expected . The cheapest room was said to cost at least fifty million rupees .
By the way,we currently have about five million rupees . Most of it is from the reward we received from Daville .
Well I can’t really afford it .
As we were looking around the guild house, Ain was being especially talkative, complaining about how expensive the place was and that it was more important to feed her well . Perhaps I have raised her in a weird way .
Well, even if I stop taking Ain into account, I still can’t go without earning money .
After having a meal with everyone, it was already night time when we returned to our inn .
「What’s the matter, Zeph-san?」
To enhance her magic lines, Claude and I proceeded to Shirushu’s room . There, she greeted us with a messy appearance, probably because she had just come out from the shower .
As expected, she wouldn’t wear her priestly clothes to sleep . A gown was draped over her fair, bare skin .
Speaking of which, in the afternoon, Claude had picked out some clothes for Shirushu . I wonder if this was it?
Her pale pink hair clung onto her flushed body, and her white gown further accentuated her beautiful hair .
Hmm, nice choice, Claude .
「Ah, after this I’m intending to manipulate Claude’s magic lines for her training . It’s a daily routine . 」
「Is that so? Is it okay if I tag along as well?」
「Nope! It’s probably better if Shirushu-san doesn’t watch, I think…」
Claude who was sitting on the bed interrupted in a panic .
Certainly, it could be as Claude said .
The stimulus is strong, and if poorly done, it could go out of control .
「…you’re right . Sorry Shirushu, can you wait in my room?」
「Eh~ but I’m curious…」
「Go on, move along!」
After chasing out the discontented-looking Shirushu, Claude laid down on the bed .
As expected, it was not possible to do such things in a coach, so it has been quite a long time since the last session .
「Mm… then, please go ahead, Zeph-kun . 」
「Mm . 」
I took off Claude’s coat, and inched my hand towards her fair back .
I gathered magic in my hand, and traced my finger along Claude’s back, from the nape of her neck to around her shoulder blade .

「Hn…!」
Claude’s shoulders twitched and trembled, and she let out a tiny sound .
As I was moving my hand, the room resounded with Claude’s muffled sounds .
Perhaps because it has been awhile and Claude couldn’t endure it, her voice gradually grew louder .
As I was about to move my hand lower, the room door was thrown open with a bang .
「Whwhwhwhat are the two of you doing!?」
「Eh…? Shirushu-san?」
Her hair, eyes, face and the rest of her body was red and she was clutching on to the door as she trembled in anger .
The door was creaking as if complaining under the stress .
–damn!
I jumped away from above Claude’s back, quickly grasped onto Shirushu’s shoulders and chanted Sleep Code .
「Haa…」
Letting out a small sound, Shirushu lost consciousness and fell down .
Before coming to the capital, we did a few tests, and it seems that apart from being angry, whenever Shirushu’s hair turns red, she becomes unable to control her strength well .
Even though she does not lose her reasoning and start to rampage, it would still get troublesome when she loses her composure like what happened a moment ago, therefore I immediately put her to sleep .
「Phew, that was dangerous . 」
「There are cracks on the door now though…」
「…we have to fix it I suppose . I’ll go over to Lydia’s place to borrow the toolbox . 」
「Haha, I’ll help too . 」
Claude put her clothes back on, and we repaired the door which Shirushu had destroyed .
It was late in the night when we were done with the repairs . As I stretched out on the bed in my room, I recalled about Silverie who parted from us at the general goods store .
In the end, Silverie never contacted again huh?
Nevertheless, I can’t believe that Silverie ran away from that situation .
I knew that she hated people in general, but even so, that was over exaggerated .
Even when she was talking to me, she was somewhat unsettled . It would seem that the current Silverie had a bigger communication difficulty as compared to the Silverie in my past life .
The next time we meet would probably be when she forcefully intrudes again… I suppose .
I kept the crystal fragment I was fiddling with, and fell asleep .

「Alright, from today onwards, I’m thinking of officially starting the countermeasure to deal with Shirushu’s beast transformation . 」
The next day, from early in the morning, I made my way to outside of the city, with everyone in tow .
Milly was still sleepy, and yawned with her mouth wide open .
Before coming to the capital, I had investigated if Shirushu’s everyday life was ever put in dangerous situations, and it turns out that whatever happened, she had never transformed into a beast out of fury .
However, probably because of a disposition which makes it difficult for her to defy her beastly instincts, there were instances where Shirushu turned all red and pinned me down when I touched her body too much during the investigation process .
I had immediately put her to sleep, but if I had a choice, I would prefer a less thrilling method of investigation .
「Shirushu . 」
「Y-Yes . 」
When I called, Shirushu stepped forward nervously .
I would’ve let the church in the capital take a look at Shirushu, but it seemed like the people who could use curse-sealing magic were not around .
It appears that curse-sealing magic was not converted into scroll form, and can probably only be used by high priests who have spent years in training and amassing experience .
Until then, Shirushu’s beast transformation ought to be controlled to some degree .
I was acquainted with one Beastman in my past life, who I had accompanied to go through intensive training to improve his control . Now, I will be trying the same methods .
「Lydia, help me . 」
Saying that, I took a rope out from the Pouch, and handed it to Lydia .
「Okay~」
Together with Lydia, the two of us bound Shirushu with the rope, tightly restraining her .
The rope was eating into Shirushu’s body, and perhaps due to fear or pain, sometimes her body trembled .
「Mm… it hurts…」
「Endure it . 」
「Hehe~, I’m good at things like this right~」
Lydia was binding Shirushu’s body with rope, but she was using strange binding methods, as if forming a tortoise’s shell pattern .
The bound Shirushu appeared lewd somehow .
「It’s done~」
「L-Lydisan . That binding method was circulated to a foreign country…」
「Oh? You know about it, Clau-chan?」
「I-I don’t know!」
For some reason, Claude was blushing furiously as she looked down .
