After coming out from the underground passage, they really came out to the second floor of building.
From the window, they could see the first floor’s main street.
「……That is, the Feudal Lord’s house.」
Rem pointed her finger.
Within the town that was lined with short buildings, there was a sole large estate that looked like a castle.
──Influential people sure do like tall buildings, don’t they.
There was even the shape of a tower that he recognized.
「There’s even a barrier towner?」
「……Faltra City kept them separate, but Caliture City’s Magician’s Guild is within the Feudal Lord’s house.」
So they had that close of a relationship.
After advancing through a corridor where small shops were lined up, then descending the stairs, they were finally in the central district.
However, it was really surrounded by guys who weren’t normal.
They were all Pantherians.
It could be understood at a glance that they had all trained plenty. Going by their standing posture, they looked strong.
There were more than twenty of them.
「Tsk……Are they companions of the guys from earlier?」
Diablo extended his hand to his pouch. He didn’t want to use his Magic Staff in the middle of town, but it would be dangerous to go against this many people while barehanded.
Rem made a reluctant-looking face.
「……You people are.」
The Pantherian man who stood at the lead, had a quite rare panther head.
Normal male Pantherians had mostly Human figures with panther ears and tails.
However, there would seldomly be those with heads that were that of a panther’s. Only their outward appearances were different, but the interior didn’t change──that is what was said.
That panther head Pantherian was a size bigger than those around him, and was clearly much more burly than Diablo.
Going by his tempered fists, he was most likely a Fistfighter. Moreover, he was of a considerably high level.
They should have already entered his range.
It was a distance where he could break their necks in an instant if they were to lose focus.
Diablo focused his sense on him.
「…………」
*Niyari* The panther head man curved his mouth.
*Gabah!* He lowered his head.
「Ojou, welcome back!!」
It was a very deeply respectful bow towards Rem.
Even the other guys did the same, putting their hands behind them, bending at the waist until they were close to being at a right angle, and greeting her.
「Welcome back!」「Ojou!」「We have been waiting for you!」
The people walking on the road stared at the scene wondering what was going on.
A child that pointed at the scene was hurriedly carried away by their mother.
The thug-like men turned around and ran away.
Rem’s face turned red.
「……This is why……I didn’t……want to come back.」
Diablo unconsciously exchanged glances with Shera.
──Ojou?
The panther head man formally talked to Diablo.
「Sir, are you Ojou’s companion?」
「I am not a stranger to her.」
「The assistant instructor says they would like to meet you. Could you obediently come with us?」
「So they are summoning me. Who are they?」
Rem opened her mouth with a reluctant impression in her voice.
「……These people are apprentices of the Gado clan. And then, the assistant instructor he mentioned is, my……aunt.」
「You had a blood relative!?」
She hung her head.
「……I had, already intended on casting away my home town though.」
The panther head shook his head left and right.
「That is unthinkable. The assistant instructor worries about you almost every day, Ojou.」
*Pon!* Shera hit her hands together.
「Come to think of it, what the Gado clan is──Rem, you promised that you would tell us, didn’t you!?」
Hearing that remark that didn’t quite read the atmosphere, the surroundings froze.
Even if they did have that kind of talk, would you really say that in front of the people themselves?
The panther head answered with a gentle sounding voice.
「Friend, the Gado clan is, about the people who are taught the Gado style of martial arts. The instructor is the parent, the apprentices are brothers, and that bond is stronger than even that of a real family.」
「Ohー」
Shera nodded with a face that said that she didn’t really get it.
Rem made a declaration.
「They’re mere yakuza.」
Diablo went “Uwaah……” and drew away in his mind.
