After we humans finished dinner and took a moment to relax…
“I’m so sorry, we of the cooking squad are at our limit…”
“No, no, you all worked incredibly hard.” I expressed my gratitude, and it seems they were going to wash the dishes and head home. I had briefly considered making the angel race, who had eaten their fill, do the washing up, but…
“For us chefs, cooking isn’t finished until the dishes are clean!”
Ah, I learned that in school on the Movermas Continent, too. Just like how a field trip isn’t over until you get home. Helen and Nastasia tried to help, but they were refused!
(They said it’s while they have their debriefing.)
Speaking of which, how did it taste to the angel race? I decided to ask, belatedly…
“It was normally delicious.” “Satisfied, satisfied.” “I want to eat it again!” “Perfect score!” “I can’t complain about what was made for us.” “Delicious!” “It was very tasty.” “Perfect!” “Thank you.” “Phew, that’s good.”
I decided to ignore the last one, who sounded unnervingly like he was in sage mode, despite his boyish good looks.
“Um, Anju isn’t here yet, so please go back with this for now.”
I handed the Teleport Scroll to Harmy. One should be enough, right?
“This item, th-this is!”
“It’s an item that can teleport you to an Adventurer Guild in a town you’ve been to. So, to Lurs Village… Ah, be sure to use Concealment Magic!”
“Angel Village Settlement is also displayed! We can go to our village too!”
“Huh? You have a Guild?”
“We don’t have a Guild, but…”
Then I guess they have something similar.
“When you hold it up, a range appears. Everyone, step into it.”
“Um, like this? I can see it!”
“Ah, it’s a bit small, let’s move to a wider area.”
Along with the angel race, I left the cafeteria for now. They all bustled out, Amari and Helen too. Nastasia as well, and finally Anju… Wait?!
“You know, it might take until tomorrow.”
“I see, thank you for the message.”
“I’ll send everyone back to the mansion.”
Ah, that’s why you came.
“Ehh, Amari, I want to sleep with Deles *onii-chan*!”
“No, don’t call me *onii-chan*! And I’m not interested in someone so much younger.”
“Ehh.”
“Also, Anju, all the angel race are going back together with the Teleport Scroll.”
“Okay.”
The angel race went off to find a teleportation spot. They’ll probably look for a suitable terrace or garden. Amari easily said goodbye with Anju’s teleportation.
“Phew, I’m somehow tired. I’ll take a bath and go to sleep.”
“Yes, Master.” “Yes, Master Derus.”
They followed me all the way to the changing room?!
“No, I’m sorry, I feel like being alone today.”
“Understood. Then I shall help you undress.”
“And when Master Deles comes out, I’ll wipe your body.”
“Just stop already!”
Not wanting them to wait in the changing room, I shooed them out and, while soaking in the bath, considered what I still needed to do.
(The luggage from the Dwarf Princess should have arrived by now.)
They say it’s full of high-class items. I should have received a reply to my message too. I hope that princess gives up.
(When was the wedding ceremony that was originally planned, I wonder?)
I can’t do something as cruel as just holding the ceremony and running away. Well, I’m already doing plenty of cruel things, but to begin with, I never agreed to the marriage! It was solely in exchange for this body and temporary use of equipment and items…
(But a marriage registration by paper alone, no, no, that’s absolutely bad!!)
Alright, let’s change the subject, at least in my own mind.
“Next is the angel race’s aerial dungeon, or that flying Demon Lord’s Castle overflowing with demon-like creatures…”
The aerial dungeon is full of mysteries. The Demon Lord’s Castle is also full of mysteries. Yes, mystery solving is Clarice’s specialty.
(Preferably Anju too… When is her school day off again?)
Between exams and tournaments, she’s been attending two days and taking five off recently, but it seems to be slightly out of sync. Well, with less than a month left, it’s just a little longer of enduring this…
(One more thing to do is check the Teleport Scroll.)
If it can really take me to the Milishitan Continent in an instant, that would be amazing. At that time, Nina and the others would go to my home, the Avakane Mansion, to pay their respects. Hmm.
(I need to check if Ric and the others are there first.)
Was there anything else? I feel like there was, but what was it? Oh well, I’ll probably remember it later. After warming my body, I got out of the bath and…
(Hmm? It’s noisy in front of my bedroom.)
When I went there, two of the angel race, Helen, and Nastasia were facing each other, looking ready to throw down!
“We just want to give Master Deles a night as thanks!”
“I won’t allow any night visits, Master is with us tonight!” “That’s right, that’s right!”
(What is this, a final battle between angels and demons?!)
Yes, two angel-like figures who look pure, and Helen dressed as a complete villainous female leader… no, more like a female succubus. Nastasia, who is with her, is also in a similar villainous costume. Why the cosplay?!
“Eh! In any case, both of you, calm down!”
“Y-yes!” “It’s a little scary.”
“We apologize for the disturbance, Master.” “I’m sorry, Master Deles…”
Well, they probably couldn’t hear much downstairs, so it wasn’t too bothersome, but I need to get them into my room and talk.
