But, Lela tries to drag me inside the ladies’ restroom.
「Wa-, it. I’m going to wait here.」
「I-, In front of the stall’s door. Since it’s fine in front of the door, please wait there. Please.」
Are you the『female ghost dragging girls down the toilet1』!? Such a ghost doesn’t exist!
「Please, i-, it would leak……」
Lela tries to drag me with watery eyes.
What should I do if I’m seen at such a place by someone?
But, I’ve been dragged inside by the ghost.
「Stay here, please.」
It can’t be helped so I stood here.
I heard a sound coming from the inside.
「D-, Don’t listen! Cover your ears!」
I ignored it and decided to wait with a stunned expression.
「S-, Seiji-sama! What are you doing in a place like this!?」
Uh oh, I’ve been caught by Elena. W-, What to do?
「Ahh, over there is Lela. Because she said that goblins might attack while in the restroom, she asked me to stand guard.」
「Elena-sama, I’m sorry. It’s my request……」
Nice follow up, Lela.
「T-, Truly, I thought……」
『I thought』what!?
「Seiji-sama, I’d like to use it as well, will that be alright?」
「Well then, I’m going to go out.」
In front of the ladies’ restroom, I waited for the two people to finish their excretion.
***
The next morning, we were having breakfast inside Lela’s room―
A soldier entered in a hurry.
「Reporting. The reconnaissance unit have discovered a horde of goblins! If we infer from their current speed, they’re expected to reach this town by noon.」
「I-, I understand. Notify the soldiers and adventurers of the situation and start the preparation for the defense.」
「Yes, understood.」
The soldier went out hurriedly. Lela tried to eat breakfast but midway, her hand trembled and dropped the knife.
Lela tried to pick the fallen knife up but dropped it again.
Are you so scared?
Elena, unable to remain indifferent to such appearance, approached Lela and tightly hugged Lela’s frightened face in her chest.
「It’s alright because Seiji-sama and I will come with you.」
As she said so, she stroked Lela’s head while hugging her.
Lela, you sly. Unforgivable!
Together with Lela, who regained her composure, we finished our preparation and left the inn.
Upon exiting the inn, the townspeople crowded around the inn anxiously.
「Hey, Lela. Say something to the townspeople to reassure them.」
I whispered in a low voice.
Lela braced herself, stood in front of everyone and loudly declared.
「I am『Iron wall Lela』, daughter of the Aristocracy union knight leader, Lyle Gewalt! I will defend this town on my name『Iron wall』! People of this town, take refuge and wait with peace of mind!」
「「Oooooo!!」」
「Iron wall Lela-sama will defend our town!」
「Lela-sama annihilated the orcs, the goblins will meet a similar fate and gain easy victory!」
The townspeople cheered and praised Lela unanimously.
Along with Lela, who has a blank expression, we boldly advanced forward through the cheering crowd.
