Chapter 4- Emergency Meeting

✦✧✦✧

Living Quarter

7:38 PM

That night, my parents didn't come home. I'm on page 128 and bookmarked for the next read. I put it in my bookshelf and asked Margarita-san.

✦✧✦✧

Our Library and this librarian are so quiet that you feel like you are in the forest and feel a pleasant atmosphere. The beauty of silence. So, I'll interrupt your quiet reading first. Sorry...

「 Margarita-san, can I come out for a moment? 」

「, Of course, Hanaka-chan, but what are you wearing?? ... 」

Margarita-san tilted her head, out of concern. Maybe?

「 Ah, these are my usual clothes? That's you Margarita-san why don't you wear the same outfit as Father and Mother casual clothes? I mean casual clothes fit for your size... 」

「 Ah yes Hanaka-chan, my other clothes are in the guestroom. An adventurer, just want to use it. And I'll go with you, you know your level 1 status, right? ... 」

Level 1? ... Status? What's the status? ... It brings back memories even though I didn't open Memoria. If I have something to worry about someone shows up in my head. Nargh the pain again...

「 Your headaches. It's better not to ... 」

Yeah, status ... yeah know ...

「 ~ Sta .. 」

「 Hanaka-chan ?? 」

「 Ah sorry Margarita-san. What did you just say? 」

「 No, you look fine. I'll be with you, whatever your status, can you tell me that about... everything? Hanaka-chan. 」

The status of an adventurer is the privilege of your whole being that musn't share information with anyone ... Hmm I can share it with her.

「 Margarita-san, when it's time and they're here. 」

「 I hope so .. 」

Her eyes glowed like a gift-giving child. The tension was gone, and she was replaced by me. That's fine, though.

「 I'll change for a bit ... 」

「 Perhaps I can help? 」

「 Eh? no thanks... 」

Her weirdo, plus my weakness maybe and she's also a girl... so no problem. But I don't need to, even though I'm a girl and her... I'm still shy.

「 Wait for me here, Margarita-san 」

「 O-okay ... 」

✦✧✦✧

Outside Griego Residence

7:44 PM

Wallop Town is really simple, very simple, and comfortable living here. And the breeze hanging in the cold. Ngyahh to say goodbye, the lightness of the mood and the beautiful blue moon illuminated all night.

「 Where do we go first, Margarita-san? 」

「 Adventurer's Guild, where the elevators meet. I'll cast a defense spell on you 」

「 -Oh-okay .. 」

「 ~ Invisible Barrier ~ 」

[ You Have 'Protection' Buff By Invisible Barrier For 10 Minutes ]

Eh?

What comes out in front of me? you have protection buff by the invisible barrier for 10 minutes ... and there's a female speaker in my brain. Nothing to worry, It's a fantasy world and a concept game after all!

「 Hanaka-chan is there a problem? you at lost? 」

「 Ah eh nothing, just thinking ... 」

「 Well, please right next to me... I got your parents order 」

「 O-okay .. 」

Iiihhh !! This is how the sister loves her younger sister. Ahmm, there's a wrap-around myself, and the whole warm hug and protection unto me by her sisterly love...

Ehhhh?

What else do I think of her? Fuhuhuu is another Hanaka a lesbian? .. scary, as well as my thinking has become fuzzier...

「 Hanaka-chan, you're looking red, have a fever? 」

His warm hand applied to my head. My body was very cold but I was used to this temperature and it was common bizarre.

「 You haven't fever and your cold Hanaka-chan 」

「 You can hold me even when I'm under defense spell? 」

「 I'm the one who cast, of course. 」

Got it, I still have a lot to learn. I can't even imagine Memoria. If necessary and forcefully dominate the unknowns.

I stopped being bullied, my sister, and my best friend. There's no destination to think of in vain and only a sense of wonder ...

Margarita-san was a kind and happy companion inside.

「 Already in front of the guild. 」

Small for a guild, twice as large as our living quarter but still small. Also, the town is small and the population is also small in numbers.

「 Can't accept! Man 」—man shouting

「 The adventurers aren't here ... so we have to ask for help with the upper elevators?. 」

「 Three, no ... two days! No, no, not the whole town .. 」—another man's voice

「 It's impossible to count the numbers, making the lives of some adventurers meaningless deaths. Foolish idea... 」

「 If we leave ... what about the whole town?! Man 」—man shouting again

「 The victory of our adventurers is uncertain, but we'll lose the town as we all go. And there's no guarantee that we'll be welcomed to the nearby village. 」—A mediator tone.

I know someone's voice, Father? What's the town going to lose, how do I live here and the library? ...

「 Let's go Hanaka-chan 」

You smiled, that sweet smile that I don't worry about my surroundings. And you stand by me, protect me but why I am so close to her even ... The warmth of her right hand ...

「 Oh-okay 」

✦✧✦✧

Adventurers Guild, Wallop Town

7:50 PM

「 Stay away from the neighboring village? ...they'll follow and follow us and then will be killed too! a foolish idea! 」—Another complaint

「 If we kill them and protect you powerless at the same time, its impossible for us guaranteeing to survive and at the same time, if we don't succeed, they'll also likely kill or making playthings the girls and young townies ...」

「 Any other idea, which ones are safer and less dangerous way? 」

⟨Door opening⟩

All their gaze came to us, focused. Why are you pretending to have a ghost in front of you? Margarita-san breaks the silence please, this isn't what I want ... Father, Mother, I beg please help me, so embarrassing...

⟨Hug in instant⟩

Ah? Mother... very tight... you hug me ...

「 Mother, I have a hard... time breathing ... ahk 」

「 Sorry baby, Mom is worried about you. 」

「 Ahem ...Is that Hanaka?Ascon-san? Quinna-san? 」

「 Yes Wallard-sama, fortunately, she's alive and well 」

Are they standing in their seats? Why is it said to your facial expressions that it was so impossible and that you wanted me to die?

The unbelievable for the goodness sake of one of your townies.

Toms Von Wallard- the Viscount and Land Lord of Wallop Town. Middle age man between 40-50. Wears official formal clothes as noble.

Joss Von Warv- a Baron and his wife Laire Von Warv. A noble couple ages 20-30 who wore fancy clothes. With full accessories in their neck and fingers.

Guildmaster Father and his secretary Mother.

The two sons of the Viscount an Elite Knight, Ralph Von Wallard, and the Elite Magician Karin Von Wallard are both 7th Star —the lowest rank in the Royal Army. And wears high esteemed clothes.

Also present were Gelli Wasson and Nemma Wellow, both adventurers and also working with the guild as receptionists. And in cute black-white maid uniforms.

There were 11 of us here with us, depending on their position. Mother and Father? Don't be surprised ...

「 Aaaaarrrrgggghhhhh !!!! It hurts! 」

「 Why did Margarita-chan, you still send her here? 」

「 Sorry Uncle, Hanaka-chan wants to see you. 」

「 Your vial, Hanaka. 」

As I drank a few times, I felt better.

「 I'm feeling better now Father 」

「 Is there any hurt baby? 」

A worrying expression draws in her gentle face...

「 No Mother 」

I replied with a wryly smile.

This is how a motherly love feels. Thank you so much for giving me a loving family.

「 Mother, you hug me again, it's a bit embarrassing 」

「 I can't hold back my baby, to avoid the smile off my dearest child, no way .. 」

Being close to other people here can be at home, Mother.

「 Ahem we're in a meeting ... the red liquid in Quinna-san's vial, Hanaka's medicine? 」

「 Yes Wallard-sama, the medicine is the pure juice of Reddingan Fruit. Coincidentally we gave it to her and she got better. 」

「 Good news for a bad situation, you two stay here, it's late ... Let's go back to the problem, do you have any other ideas? 」

We sit at the adjacent couch of the large round table, which they use now in serious discussion. A few minutes of silence and no one spoke. The problem is so serious, I want to help at least ...

「 Eh Ah ehh ... Wallard-sama can I ask? 」

「 You are free to ask young Hanaka. What's that? 」

「 I want to help even its small thing from me and you haven't found a solution to the problem. I would like to ask you what the problem is and in detailed, I'll help if there is something I can do... 」

「 Hanaka-chan, don't talk freely with the higher ones ... 」

Margarita whispered right next to me.

Eh? foolishly intervened in this intense conversation ... I was just a guild master's daughter and another matter, I was a commoner, great people were here, so ...

「 Young Hanaka, don't be afraid, we nobles here are different in general nobility. Those who are with me, we think continuously of no better solution ... 」

「 Hanaka, all those here are kind, just agreeing with him. Help us... 」

Father...

「 Young Hanaka we know that you're studying and preparing for your admission to the Magic Academy even in difficult situations you've experienced

Your parents tell us something about you and you rarely go out at night. The problem young Hanaka is ...

A huge horde of Goblins, some Elite Goblins and Hobgoblins. Their direction was towards the town supposedly. According to the report, like the Goblin's information, if you didn't know it ...

when they see the victim, they speed up 3 times, Elite Goblin 5 times, and Hobgoblins, instead of agility, 3 times stronger than their normal Strength and Vitality.

The latest is the single Goblin King, 2 times all stats increased.

10,000+ Goblins, 200+ Elite Goblins, and 10 Hobgoblins. They are high in stature, killing men and making women playthings... Threat-Level D for goblin and Threat-Level A for Goblin King.

Fortunately, they can't cast spells and no brain but fiercely in flesh and blood, just starting out and aggressively ... their evil deeds that scare us, we're desperate now what will be happening in my town ... 』

「 Wallard-sama ... have you asked for more help? 」

「 Capital City in the neighboring country and I asked the dear President for assistance... it's already late since we heard about this problem 」

He spoke in that serious face umuu..

「 With so many of them, we can't handle that considerable numbers, Hanaka-chan. A Difficulty quest that can be achieved by several A and B Rank Adventurers. And multiple C and D Ranks for Weak Goblins ... 』⟨Ralph speaking⟩

「 Hanaka my daughter, only 33 active adventurers are living here in town, with us present here... ready to fight ... 」

With that number Father, it can't be ...

「 Wallard-sama and others here ... 33 makes it very difficult to fight 10,211+ in face-to-face combat. And it is also impossible to protect the townies from invasion. If you would Wallard-sama ... 』

[ Congratulations! Your Ability "Calculator" Been Upgraded From F To B ]

[ Upgrade Terms Condition: Faster Mind Calculation With Specific Time To Upgrade ] ⟨pop out notification⟩⟨robot girl SFX voice⟩

As expected they cannot hear it. As ever I should learn spells more ...

「 No formalities young Hanaka. 」

「 Gratitude. {bowed} Can you tell me what your rank is? 」

「 Yes young Hanaka. Answer Quinna-san your dearest child 」

「 Baby, I am a C-Rank Adventurer but if I am fighting till now and rising levels, I am at B-Rank with your Father, Ralph-kun and Karin-chan C-Rank, Gelli-chan and Nemma-chan are D-Ranks, and some of them are E to F Rank as well as other adventurers, there are several D-Ranks and three of your Father in the Promise Party are also B-Ranks ... 」

「 Thanks. We can count on young Hanaka and you feel like you have a good suggestion? ... 」

「 Winning against them is possible and that plan with a win rate of 89% maybe... depending on the execution of the plan if everything goes well or higher than expected 」

「 WHAAT?! Tell us! 」 ⟨all shouting except her parents⟩

Eh? Don't look that way, their gazes melt me ... Father, Mother, help me ...

「 If so ... be patient with Hanaka-chan and be good to her. I hope you understand all... 」

Thanks, Margarita-san, you saved me.

「 Apologies Ascon, Quinna-san, and young Hanaka. We're desperate 」

「 No problem Wallard-sama 」⟨ Quinna replied⟩

「 How can you found out the plan's success rate? 」⟨Ralph speaking⟩

「 Yes, a little. It depends on how to execute the plan. We'll not fight them face to face or leave as we do, death will come at the end of the two roads as you mentioned ... 」

「 And?! 」⟨All - Hanaka's Parents and Viscount⟩

「 We're leaving Wallard-sama. 」

✦✧✦✧

Margarita Short POV

I say calm, annoying nobles just like ... take it, calmly...

I'll not let you use Hanaka-chan as long as I am here, for whatever reason. For her as an adoptive sister and a friend ... I am willing to sacrifice and fight even if its a noble or royalty.

✦✧✦✧

Margarita-san isn't affected by me?. Let me help too.

I could feel her getting angry and holding my right shoulder firmly. Father and Mother also sat next to me.

「 Can you calm down? 」

「 If you force my adorable daughter, we four will go home together. Set aside now this meeting's agenda 」

「 Keep my commands, you four. Including you. 」���

He gave them serious look, what instinct of leader umuu...

「 Understood Wallard-sama 」

The noble couples agreed as if there's force tied in their necks.

「 It's all right, besides... I want to help anyone... 」

「 Young Hanaka apologies again. If we could find some explanation for what you said and additional ideas, perhaps? this isn't a command but a request from us 」

Synchronize nods up and down... I can't help it though...

「 All right, we'll fight without getting harm. All it takes is careful planning. Let's cast spells as defenses throughout the town and use the defense as an offense to eliminate them or briefly - big traps. 」

「 It seems impossible to make many traps young Hanaka, for 10,000+ monsters .. 」

「 We mustn't create a massive but a large strategic defense.

And as you said before, they have no brains, the bait will pull from their current position and run to it, they'll come and go in the trap we have created.

Our strategic offense is going to up success and that's it. 」

「 It's hard Young Hanaka to get the others in the trap and the Goblin King terrible monster if only an A or S adventurer is in here. Ah yes, what trap young Hanaka you said? 」

「 I'll call it the 'Lava-Village Canal Defense to Offense Strategic Plan' or the 'Lava Wall Project' shortly 」

「 Wooaw .. 」⟨all amazed by splendid words⟩

「 I got half ... How could Lava be a wall? 」

「 We can't make walls by Lava, they will not see us inside so they'll not attack us and stay outside the trap, meaning ... the wall I said is a defense from the outside. Just like the royal walls so no one can break in ...

Better to open up so goblins will not hesitate to push forward without noticing the trap.

Wallard-sama brings together all the adventurers. I promise you ... nobody will die unless everyone cooperates tomorrow at the start of the Lava Wall Project. 」

....

「 8 am, young Hanaka. I'll meet you here... meeting place, the guild and I will call them all. Need something else? 」

「 If you have another Wallard-sama, another copy of the Wallop Town Map as it in on your front-desk. I'm going to make a plan all night and get everything ready. 」

「 This map is now your young Hanaka. Something else? 」

「 There's one more hmm .. 」

「 What's that? 」

「 Will you accept my plan even if everything I say isn't clear enough? 」

「 No one will complain to you young Hanaka. No matter what our two plans are, death is waiting. Right companions? 」

Sir Ralph said and all nodding for yes smilingly...

「 Everyone feels that you've got a good plan and your words are true ... 」 -⟨Baron Joss added⟩

「 Thank you very much for the compliment though I am just a commoner, and you all believe me. 」

「 You're not! 」

They say something I didn't understand hmmm...

「 I promise to protect the entire town with you. Lend me your strength and at once, see the coolest Wallop Town war fight in history.

Goodbye to everyone 」

I smiled at them, bowed then leaving.

We left the Adventurer's Guild and they obeyed likely. This is my map ... Tomorrow begins the preparation of the most shocking and epic battle in Wallop Town history! fuhahaa hopefully all plans succeed without further through...
