The past days.
We did a few field and dungeon works and earned some money but I didn’t see Alzein returning—.
『Beside the Arena: High-cla.s.s inn』
「I’ve poured tea, everyone.」
Said Rei while pouring tea in tea cups from a small teapot.
「Ah, is this? Did you buy new tea leaves, Rei-san?」
The little girl bowed proclaiming how knowledgeable she is in tea!
「……. Fumu. It has quite the aroma…… I like it」
Praisingly said by the current Maou about the tea.
You might become human ya kno……
「…… Even so, she’s late. That Tao…..」
At the same time I said that, the door opened vigorously.
「I-I’ve finally arrived! A really shocking request! A request from the prime minister of the 《Rakushadia Republic》 has personally requested our mercenary party! ……*zee ,zee,zee/ panting sounds*……」
Just now, your “taoming” is the one that’s shocking……[a witty word play for timing]
Open the door slowly when entering, Tao-san.
「Oh my, Tao-san. How about some tea first? I’ve just poured them so they’re good, yes?」
Without getting surprised Rei-san offered Tao a tea cup and poured tea.
「How can you calmly pour tea!! It’s a request from the 《Rakushadia Republic》!! The payment is……! The payment is……! ……*bukubukubuku/ bubbling?*……」
Ah. She fell.
Well, it is a request from a 『country』 so I can grasp the amount of the payment……
「…… Can you tell me the details? Don’t tell me it’s a 『simultaneous attack on the Maou’s castle』, right……」
Asked Selen with a stern face.
「…… uhmm, that is…..」
Ruru descend from the stool, and took from Tao’s hand a single paper and started reading.
「Hou hou…… Uhmm….. 『From the ancient munic.i.p.al of Amzeria 《ancient library》 the offered ancient doc.u.ment, a decipher effect has been found from an essential theory in accordance with the history, even as important confirming fact of the world……』 and the like……」
《Ancient library》?
Something being deciphered?
Wait why did you hire a 『mercenary party』?
「……So, uhmm, the payment is 145,000,000G……? …… It said」
OOHH!
Suddenly over 100,000,000!
Lucky. A step closer to my dream!
「…… Fumu. It suspicious. No matter how high the payment is…… 『a decipher effect has been found from an essential theory in accordance with the history』? Surely the books dedicated for the 《ancient library》 is almost about the 『demon race』, 『spirit』 and the 『Spirit-demon war』 and almost nothing about descriptor, no?」
Ooh, Maou’s so knowledgeable.
Why don’t you get a human doctorate degree?
「…… About my understanding. The enthrallment of war even thousand of years……. At the end of that fight the 『spirit army』’s king -『spirit king』- simultaneously attacked the demon army troops and killed them, and changed this world from being a 『demon race』 ruled world……」
Indifferently said Rei-san while pouring tea in my cup.
「……」
「……」
(…… Well, don’t stay silent…… You 『spirit』 and you 『maou』……)
Isn’t getting influenced strongly from something that had happened long ago more weird?
From the world where I came from there were a lot of wars too you know?
Even my country did some pretty cruel things but now were living peacefully.
It’s too peaceful that there are people who will kill other people nonchalantly…….
……
Just what is happening to the house wife who stabbed me to death right now….. ha ha……
「…… Hm……」
Ah, Tao-san is about to wake up.
As always you “Taoming” is impeccable, Tao!
「Hey~, Tao. If you’re already awake then come seat and have a cake and tea-」
「……. Eh? Ah, is that so? …… Okay, it has a great aroma to it!」
I’m really glad that China girl is a simple girl.
「…… What will you do Kazuha? ……. Are you going? 《Rakushadia Republic》……」
I don’t know why but Ruru questioned with an anxious face, looking up to me.
Looking like that makes me think that you really just a human’s child……
I pet Ruru’s head and said.
「Yeah. …… Well, knowing something about decipher is something you’ll have no interest in. Ruru is Ruru, right?」
I sometimes give a proper answer.
Even if I look like this I properly look after Ruru.
Because she’s 『my first Ally』 in my 『third time』.
「…… Kazuha……」
Oh? Are you moved little girl?
Have I stolen your heart with my amazing line?
「…………. Your face is really creepy」
「………………. Un」
Then I, in my whole life.
Will not say any emotion filled warm lines.
Only to Ruru.-
-Hardly, hardly, swore to my heart……..
