Before leaving Talian, Ian decided to leave all his companions except Belenka behind.

They wouldn't be much help dealing with a duke, and there was more potential for them to be useful in the domain than on the battlefield.

"I'm counting on you, Kira."

"Leave it to me."

Kira flashed Ian a smile with her eyes.

Since Lucy and Ian had to be away, they needed someone trustworthy to look after Talian.

Baron Damon and Kira were perfect for the job.

"I've already told Baron Damon. There shouldn't be any particular issues."

"Well... Baron Damon and I aren't complete strangers anyway."

In the past, Kira had been forced to work for Baron Damon.

At that time, Kira wasn't a real wizard but a fake one, and had no way to escape the baron's coercion.

But the current Kira was different.

Not only did she have Ian as a reliable wizard companion, but she had become a fire wizard who could wield the power of flames.

It should be fine to entrust the domain to her.

"Lady Kira! There's something I'd like you to look at..."

"Wait a moment. Can't you see I'm talking to Ian right now?"

Kira, who was already excellent at acting, had become even more capable of playing a prickly wizard now that she had the background of a real one.

She could now intimidate country barons to the point where they couldn't even breathe.

"I-I'm sorry..."

Despite being a noble, Baron Lantro couldn't say a word against Kira.

This was the typical status of imperial wizards.

Wizards had tight connections among themselves, so if you offended one carelessly, you might witness a fantastic wizard assembly like the one that unfolded in Baron Vincents' domain.

Kira approached Baron Lantro with a smile curling the corners of her mouth.

Smiling with her bright red lips, Kira was the very image of an enchanting sorceress.

'Kira really is pretty.'

"Hehe. I'll come see you when I have time. A good noble can wait until then, right?"

"Ah...! I can wait!"

"Good. I really like that about you, Baron~"

As Kira whispered, Baron Lantro grinned with a dazed expression.

Is a beautiful face some kind of ma?gic?

Ian was seriously worried about Baron Lantro, who looked like his brain had melted.

Being so weak to temptation. If an evil black wizard like Karenne attached herself to him, wouldn't she ruin the domain's finances?

"Well, I'm off then. Ian."

"Ah. Wait a moment."

Ian held out the fairy silk he had received from the Fairy Queen.

It was an item that Sister Mionia had processed into a ribbon.

"Oh my."

Kira hurriedly covered her mouth.

Her fingertips were trembling slightly.

"W-What's this?"

"A gift? Souvenir? Well. I'm just giving it to you."

It was truly a gift prepared without much thought.

Kira had been through a lot following Ian around.

Also, he had heard that she envied Lucy & Belenka's fairy silk accessories.

"A gift... you say?"

"Yeah. You've been through a lot so far. And I'm also asking you to help manage the domain."

The last part was more of an afterthought.

Ian knew well that Kira came from the streets. He didn't expect her to actually manage the domain.

Anyway, Kira was like a human totem that lowered the chances of incidents just by walking around looking important.

And she could spit fire in emergencies. How useful.

"..."

Kira fiddled with the ribbon silently for a while, then.

"... Sniff."

She suddenly started crying!

Ian was flustered seeing Kira's tears.

It was the quick-wittedness of a man who had majored in science and engineering in his previous life.

"It's pretty? Suits you well."

"...!"

Male Language Macro #1. Mindless complimenting.

if input_word == "mindless compliment"... and so on.

As expected, the macro's effect was tremendous!

"Umm... thank you, Ian."

Kira spoke in a gentle voice, her face flushed.

Unlike when she was cosplaying as a confident wizard, the shy Kira now just looked cute.

Kira couldn't meet Ian's eyes until the end.

'I've successfully diverted her attention.'

Ian decided to leave Kira alone so she could fully enjoy(?) her new ribbon.

"Well, I'll be going then."

"Okay... take care, and come back safely."

Kira finally looked up at Ian.

"..."

"..."

A moment of silence passed.

"Countess! Over here! She's here!"

Bang!

Suddenly the door opened, and Lucy and Baron Lantro appeared.

Lucy looked back and forth between Ian and Kira, her eyes widening.

"Eh?"

Lucy stammered, addressing Kira.

"Um... I heard earlier that you were fighting with Ian..."

Kira glared at Baron Lantro (reminding herself that Lucy would be away soon) and answered Lucy.

"It's a misunderstanding, Countess."

"But the tear stains..."

Kira slowly wiped away her tear stains.

"I was surprised and happy to receive a gift from Ian, so I cried."

"Ah..."

Only then did Lucy notice the beautiful ribbon tied in Kira's hair.

The atmosphere was somehow awkwardly strange.

Ian stationed all his companions except Belenka in Talian.

From what the Knights of Santiago said, orcs and other monsters were very active, so they needed to maintain vigilance.

Fortunately, Talian's forces weren't weak.

Baron Damon's subordinates, the Knights of Santiago, the werewolf Lewis, and Jubal could all serve as warriors.

With Kira providing magical support, they could easily fend off most monster invasions.

It would be different if a dragon flew in directly, but the black dragon had apparently been beaten by the Margrave of Haltramm and fled.

So Ian could leave Talian with a somewhat lighter heart.

The party consisting of Ian and Lucy, Belenka and Salvador, and the Knights of Santiago moved quickly towards Duke Araz's territory.

"What did you say?"

The Knights of Santiago, who were acting as guides, returned with unexpected news.

"Duke Araz isn't in his domain right now."

"Then..."

Ian let out a hollow laugh.

He really went to hunt the dragon...!

"They say he left for the Golden Mountains with the Margrave of Haltramm."

Ian immediately changed their destination.

Since he needed to meet the duke, there was no point in visiting a domain without its lord.

Ian's group changed course for the Golden Mountains.
