The next morning.
Ronald and Catherine woke up together, then headed downstairs to the travel agency to enjoy today's breakfast.
The people in Harmonano have quite light fare for breakfast.
At least at the travel agency, besides a serving of fruit, they offer a choice of several refreshing beverages.
Considering the feast they had last night, they definitely won't serve a pathetic breakfast to the guests, so this should be the local custom.
...
Ronald and Catherine quickly finished their breakfast.
As they got up, their gaze swept across the travel agency lobby and saw at the entrance, the demon Lama standing there, nervously pacing back and forth.
In accordance with the agreent with Ronald from yesterday, the demon Lama arrived on ti.
But when he actually arrived, he hesitated as if the place he was going to was a perilous pit.
"Haha—"
Seeing Lama's conflicted look, Catherine chuckled softly and walked directly to the door, casually casting an invisibility spell on herself mid-way.
"Hey, demon, what are you looking at here?"
"..."
"Huh?!"
Lama was startled by Catherine.
Because in his perception, there were clearly no living people approaching him, where did this familiar and terrifying voice co from!
Then Lama turned his head.
When he saw the mischievous look in Catherine's eyes, the demon Lama realized it was Catherine intentionally teasing him!
"Master, didn't I ca here as per last night's agreent?"
Lama quickly replied.
The hesitation he felt at the door turned into bitterness at this mont.
After answering Catherine's question, he quickly smiled and continued:
"I wonder if there's anything specific you and Mr. Ronald need to do today?"
At this ti, Ronald also stepped over.
After what happened last night, his relationship with Catherine took another leap forward. So directly interrupting Catherine's tease on Lama didn't make her feel unsatisfied:
"Lama, I hope you can take us around the city."
"Although we have nothing specific to do right now, rather than wasting ti in the room, it's better to explore the city and gain so insight."
Although Lama was reluctant in his heart, he imdiately nodded after hearing Ronald's request, indicating his willingness to accept the task.
"Mr. Ronald, there's no problem with your idea."
"So, you asked to co early this morning, are you planning to start exploring the city right away?"
Catherine took the conversation and replied:
"Of course, hurry and lead the way!"
"..."
So Lama took on the task of leading the way again.
Under the leadership of the demon Lama, Ronald and Catherine walked through Harmonano city, avoiding much trouble.
As for their experiences within the city…
Compared to when they first arrived with a clear goal of getting things done, Ronald and Catherine now had more leisurely ti, allowing them to understand the city in detail.
Ronald was most admiring of the wonderful aspects of the city.
Just like when dealing with Councilor Darman, as the latter had said.
Over seventy percent of the city's residents felt cheerful and had a friendly disposition towards others in Ronald's perception.
Such a city and such residents… calling it a city of wonders is no exaggeration!
Reflecting in reality, just walking through the city.
Ronald and Catherine, obviously outsiders by their attire, frequently encountered hospitality and cheerful greetings from the city residents.
Having walked for more than an hour.
Ronald and Catherine's hands were filled with gifts from kind residents.
...
Honestly, this kind of special treatnt is rather rare.
Ronald quite enjoyed it himself.
After walking for another hour, Catherine, having tasted so of the snacks and fruits in her hands, suddenly turned to Lama to inquire:
"Demon, there are so many Summoners and summoned beings in this city, hasn't there been any issues?"
Lama, walking ahead, replied without hesitation:
"Of course, problems have occurred. But due to the earnest attitude of the Summoners and the unified opinions of the summoned beings, issues typically get resolved swiftly."
"Unified opinions of the summoned beings…"
While the initial part sounded alright, once Lama ntioned this phrase, Catherine's expression changed imdiately:
"You're saying that the summoned beings in this city have ford a solid unified alliance?"
"Haven't they considered, should key personnel within the organization get sent back by the summoners, it would cause huge disruptions?"
Lama paused his steps and turned his head.
He showed a look of admiration for Catherine's foresight:
"This kind of situation existed initially, but later, we optimized our organizational structure. Now, if similar situations arise, there are established rules to resolve them."
Catherine, disregarding Lama's gaze, continued to question:
"You summoned beings must have a gathering point in the city, right?"
The summoned beings in Harmonano city have a gathering point.
After the dissemination of mystical knowledge, this beca a common understanding among all city residents.
So Lama had no reason to conceal it:
"Of course there is, Miss Catherine, are you interested in visiting?"
"Not just ." Catherine decisively nodded and then turned her gaze to Ronald beside her, "Hearing this, Ronald, you're curious too, right?"
Faced with this inquiry, Ronald showed a slightly awkward smile:
"Um… I've seen the gathering places of summoning creatures before."
Catherine imdiately understood the aning behind Ronald's expression.
"The gathering places you've seen wouldn't be the intruders' nests at the North Pole, would they?"
"..."
Being exposed by Catherine, Ronald could only divert his apologetic gaze towards Lama.
anwhile, observing the interaction between the two Casters.
The demon didn't dare to express any extra opinions.
As the weakest among the three, Lama eventually put on a formal smile and asked the two:
"Since neither of you has seen it, how about I take you there?"
"Our gathering place for summoned beings welcos visitors for tours and recreation."
Before Ronald could speak, Catherine imdiately agreed:
"Sure, please lead the way!"
Having decided on the destination.
Still under Lama's leadership, they started heading towards the southern part of the city.
