{ Notice and Apology }
As I mentioned on Twitter, Lunamaria’s story in Volume 11, which was released on May 19, overlapped with the one in Volume 8.
I completely forgot that I added it on Volume 8 due to the lack of word count. I am very sorry.
I’ll be more careful in the future, so please just skip those six pages this time.

After successfully accepting the quest, we continued to move around the city on foot while receiving Hapti’s explanation.
[Incidentally, it’s natural, but monsters basically live in places far away from human settlements, so you have to be well-prepared, because it would be difficult to replenish your supplies along the way. Above all, it’s always a good idea to bring extra water. Well, it seems like everyone has their own magic boxes, so just make sure you have some in them.]
[I see…… By the way, where are we going now? The teleporter?]
After nodding at Hapti-san’s words, Aoi-chan asked. The teleporter, just as its name implies, a shop that made teleportations its business.
This is because, basically, not many people have Teleportation Magic Tools to begin with, and not many teleportation points could be registered.
In fact, even the latest Teleportation Magic Tools can only register up to ten Teleportation Points, and their reuse time is about an hour.
In addition to that, Teleportation Magic Tools is one of the most expensive magic tools out there, and there are basically very few people who personally own one, so the only people who have them are relatively large Trading Companies, some of the rich merchants and nobles.
For businessmen, Teleportation Magic is a very beneficial magic, and a magic tool that allows them to cast such magic is worth its high price…… but not everyone could afford it.
In the case that one couldn’t afford it, if one were to be asked if they’d have to give up on teleporting and had to go down the road in a horse-drawn carriage, that isn’t necessarily the case.
It goes without saying that there is a high demand for Teleport Magic, and since that was the case, there would naturally be people who make a business out of it. Those people are called Teleporters.
Well, it’s still much more expensive than riding a horse-drawn carriage or a flying dragon, and it’s less flexible since you could only be teleported to famous tourist spots or big cities, but since it’s still much cheaper than buying Teleportation Magic Tools, the demand is high.
There is also a Teleporter in the royal capital of Symphonia, which can teleport you to several cities in the country, as well as the royal capitals of Archlesia Empire and Hydra Kingdom. There may be many opportunities that the two of them would use their service in their future activities as adventurers.
[Unnn? We’re going back to Kaito’s home.]
[Eh? My home? Why?]
[I heard it from the Phantasmal King-sama…… You had that, right?]
[What are you talking about?]
[A treasure that allows you to teleport in any place you want, as long as its coordinates have been registered in the magic technique imbued in it, possessing no restrictions on usage or number of people…… Let’s use that. Teleporters are expensive, and if we teleport towards the city using their magic tool, we’d have to travel from that city towards our destination.]
……Come to think of it, I had one of those outrageously efficient gates in my room…… Registering world coordinates is a difficult task for me, so I can’t add them myself, but there is no limit to the number of teleportation spots I could register, no limit to the distance, and its gem created by the god of the world made it so that it could ignore Null: Teleportation Barriers……
Whenever Aoi-chan and Hina-chan needed to go out in the future, they wouldn’t need to go to a Teleporter. I can ask Alice to register the major cities in the Teleporter, so it will be convenient for them. For me personally, the only time I need to use that gate is when I’m going to the Sanctuary, and the rest of the time, the Teleportation Magic Tool I’ve been using would suffice, so letting them use it might be a good idea.
[Fumu…… Even so, it might be good if just like this, you two would be departing for your quests, but I guess it might be better if the two of you have Teleportation Magic Tools for when you’re going back.]
[……No, Kaito, Teleportation Magic Tools are very expensive. Well, you can certainly buy it for them, but I think they would be reluctant to receive it.]
H- Hmmm, I guess it really would be too expensive to buy it for them huh…… Even if it’s not a problem in terms of money, if I were in their position, I’d be too emotionally apologetic to accept it.
I wonder if there were some other way……
(No problem. If they use that gate to teleport, they can return to the entrance of Kaito-san’s mansion when they silently think of returning…… is a “function I just made available just now”.)
Eh? The heck is that, that’s amazing…… That’s a completely awesome feature. That way, both of them could return home without any problem, and since they would be coming back to the entrance instead of my room, it properly considers my privacy too.
Shiro-san’s amazing, that was a flawless forethought and job quickly finished…… I could really depend on you, or rather, thank you so much for everything.
(Fufufu, I’m your dependable and caring lover after all. You can praise me more, you know?)
There have been a lot of times that you’ve been in your help lately, and I’ve always been in your care, so please let me thank you again some other time.
Thanking Shiro-san in my heart for her excellent help, I then turned to Hapti-san and the others and told them that Shiro-san had made the adjustments and that there were no more problems with their means of return.
[……Hey, Aoi, Hina? I don’t really know what Kaito’s talking about here…… N- No, I know what his words meant, but my mind just couldn’t keep up…… Am I the strange one here? Or perhaps, was it the world that’s the strange one? Also, is it just my imagination? I feel like I’m looking at a really big “doya” floating in the sky……]
[Hapti-san, please give it up. This is what Kaito-san usually is like. As Lilia-san often says, you only had to think that if it’s Kaito-san, it couldn’t be helped.]
[Well, it’s Kaito-senpai after all…… Also, I believe that the word floating in the sky isn’t your imagination because I can also see it.]
