“What?! The female students at the academy, are they folding their skirts like that?!”
The hero, who came from the Shamanias Continent, is shouting like that from the morning.
This is the cafeteria of the Great Heavenly Tree Building 1. He is having a meal while conversing with two female heroes from the former hero dojo.
Oh, and the sickly-looking angel from the Angel Race, Shinosa, is also here. Seriously, she looks like she’d fall over if I just poked her. She attacked me, though!
(I don’t need to tell them that there are also types that cut the skirts, do I?)
With Kaito and the others behind me, well, they’re quite a distance away,
Niina, Clarice, and Anju are lined up in front of me,
And Helen and Nastasia are on either side, eating breakfast. Nataira and Otuha are at the next table.
(Nare?! After what happened, she’s a maid for a while!)
She’s standing behind me,
She’s practically bursting out of her maid outfit.
“So, Derus, about the final battle.”
“Ah, yes. How many floors down is the dungeon?”
“Helen,” “According to the latest information, it’s ten thousand floors. And for each floor you descend, there’s a toll of one platinum coin.”
So I need ten thousand coins.
That demon lord is such a miser.
“If only we could descend rapidly with Anju’s ‘Dig Hole’.”
“But there’s something we need to try first. Anju,” “I made lots and lots of candies ~”
“We’re thinking of every possible plan in case that doesn’t work,” “But it’s soon, right?”
The Stampede seems to be approaching.
“So, Derus, do you have any lingering regrets?”
“Me?” “Yes, if there’s anything you want to do, now’s the time.”
“Well, I have about three things. One will be over quickly.”
I think I’ll save that for last.
“Then, what about the remaining two?”
“One is a secret. I’ll tell you later,” “And the other one is…” “I’ll need everyone’s cooperation, though not all of you.”
I look around at everyone.
Yes, they’re nodding.
I should also do what I want to do.
“Then, today…”
“I’ll go to that place I want to go to after this, and I’ll be back tomorrow morning.”
“When you get back…” “We’ll adjust for the time difference. The other two…” “Both of them?” “Yes.”
“Understood. We’ll do whatever cooperation we can,” “Then, let’s discuss the second item…”
We discuss it while enjoying our breakfast dessert.
“Hmm, so who will be on the team?”
“Niina, Helen, and Nare are definite.
Ah, but maid outfits are not allowed, okay?” “Yes, then I’ll put my all into it for that occasion.”
Then there’s…
“Um, I…” “Clarice and Otuha, I’m sorry.”
“What about me? What about me?” “Yeah, this time it’s a different kind of thing, so I’m sorry.”
“Eeeh, I have to stay home?” “I’m doing something called ‘Momotetsu’ with an Otherworlder.” “Okay, okay.”
Next, I look at…
“What about Nastasia…”
“Mine is also different from Anju’s, in terms of the element…”
“No, if you can act seriously, it might work. Nataira, though, maybe not.” “Is that so?” “No, don’t be dejected!”
I’m actually praising her.
“Then Derus, you’ll be with me, Helen, Nastasia, and Nare.”
“I have an idea of two more based on appearance. One is…”
“Hmm, then the other one is…” “At the brothel…” “Then, Husband, the one you recently captured…”
And so, the meeting ended.
“…Then I’m off. I don’t expect it, but if I don’t come back…”
“Ah, we’ll rescue you. Still, how conscientious. Derus is truly a good-natured fellow.”
“That’s fine with me. And when I’ve done what I wanted to do,” “It’s finally time.” “It is indeed.”
Yes, the final battle.
“Derus, should I carry you~?”
“Ah, Anju, can I ask you to?”
“Then, here I goooo, EーーーーYYYY!!”
And she instantly moved us to…
It was nothing special, just the underground Commercial Guild within the Great Heavenly Tree. Several merchants were at the reception desk, doing something in the morning.
“…So, the lamp to use the Teleportation Magic Circle…”
“We’re out of stock, so you’ll have to place an order.”
“How much?” “Well, if you don’t mind waiting for a while…”
Has information about teleportation magic circles using magic power not been released yet?
It seems like they’re trading other unique goods here as well.
“Then, see ya!”
“Thank you, Anju. Is there anything else?”
“Someone’s looking at you from behind~” “Huh?” “See you tomorrow~”
When I turned around as she said that…
There they were! Through the gap in the door,
A Dwarf was staring intently at me!!
(This is a little scary!!)
The one who was truly scary was the Dwarf.
But that’s not the point. As I approached,
The door opened completely, and Mariu emerged.
“Good morning, darling.”
“Yes, I’ll spend the day with you today.”
“Really?!” “I was too busy the other day.”
Yes, for the past while, I’ve been sequentially…
Well, it started with my “Pot Rolling Race,” but
I’ve been accompanying my Main Wife Niina’s family, then concubines in turn…
(It won’t do to just end by going to the home of Nare, my Eighth Wife, who is the lowest in rank.)
Even though I’m not the Ninth Wife,
I need to properly give myself to Mariu, who is exclusive to the Dwarf Country.
“I’m so happy, I’m genuinely so happy!”
“But, is it okay with the blacksmithing requests?”
“Spending time with you is more important than anything else!”
Yes, being loved this much makes me genuinely happy.
“Just in case, until tomorrow morning, so I can drink alcohol too, but– Wait!!”
Suddenly, with a Teleport Scroll,
We were in front of the Guild in the Dwarf Country…
I don’t care about my clothes, they’re sooty from being in a blacksmith’s style.
“Well, first, let’s take a bath together!”
“Huh? In the morning?!” “Yes, in the morning!!”
So,
I’ll leave it to Mariu today.
