Chapter 417 Each Person Has a Different Method

After that, we exchanged information, and it was officially decided to aim for the liberation of Crocus in three days. I couldn’t deny the feeling that the date was set forcibly, but it’s also true that we couldn’t spend much time. As a good-natured person, I gladly accepted the proposal. Good grief, if it wasn’t me, Zex would have melted down.

「FUHAHAHAHA! Long time no see!」

「…… Eh, why are you here, Zex-dono?」

「Well then, my wife is waiting for me at home, so I’m going back now.」

「Eh, hey, Deris!?」

Since Zex’s body can’t be left at the mansion until three days later, I decided to leave it in the guest room of the royal castle where Hund-kun is staying. Hund-kun is very caring, so I’m sure he can keep up with Zex.

「Then, I’m going to change my body into the one inside Crocus. Hund-dono, please don’t mind me!」

「E-Even if you told me that…. Hey, Zex-dono? Zex-dono has stopped talking!? Deris, is it really okay to leave Zex-dono like this!? Deris? Deriiiiis!?」

Just before I closed the door of the room, I heard a pleasant conversation from inside. Nice, I’m glad that they are getting along. Let’s talk about the schedule tomorrow. I can’t make Haru and Gobuo wait any longer after all.

With the shout at my back, I went to the knight’s headquarters and reunited with Chinatsu who had finished her rest time. Our destination is the same place, Nell’s mansion, so we decided to go together.

「Deris-san, if I’m being beyond recovery, please take care of Haruna for me…」

「It seems that you’re suffering more mental damage than I expected. Come here, I will give you a serious 『Refresh』 magic. So, please do your best in the afternoon as well. Yeah.」

「I will try my best, but…. I wonder if I can last for three more days…」

Chinatsu has a distant look. It’s correct in terms of ability operation, and it seems that the power of her Unique Skill will be great in three days. However, if Chinatsu is not properly cared for at the same time, there’s a great risk of self-destruction before the scheduled date. She sure has learned a very unfortunate Unique Skill. So, I’ll do my best to heal her after the afternoon training session.

「If Chinatsu is like that, I’m also worried about Touko…. Is she okay?」

「I think she’s tired, but… she went to the cafeteria as soon as the break time started, saying that she was going to store up food until the last minute. So, I think she has more composure than me.」

「S-Store up food….」

On the other hand, Touko is living a strong life. Training under Lily is not for nothing.

「Then, I’m going…」

「Y-Yeah, live strong.」

I parted with Chinatsu in the garden of the mansion and headed for Haru. It seems that Chinatsu and Touko will do their best. We don’t have much time, so let’s raise the difficulty level of Haru’s sparring to increase the survival rate even a little.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

「G-Good work….」

「Gobuu…」

Haru uses her Doggan Staff and Gobuo uses his sword as a support, and they return to the mansion with the gait of a newborn fawn. Haru is having wounds all over her body and is about to collapse, but she says that she’s going to take a bath and go to the kitchen to make food with her all. It seems that if she makes delicious food and eats it herself, she will feel better, and she will be able to make more food and eat again, and repeat the process over and over again. Such an unreasonable way won’t work if you think it with common sense. However, it’s possible with Haru’s cooking. Even a single bite of Haru’s cooking can alleviate fatigue and stress from the body and mind, and even help with recovery through sleep. Of course, Nell and the others also eat these dishes with gusto. The effect is tremendous, perhaps it’s the effect of the 『Cooking』 skill that she has developed.

While Haru and Touko were stuffing their mouth like squirrels and kept eating, I was visiting my former room in my previous house. The sun has completely set and the moon is rising. Without a light, the room is completely dark. And then, I can hear the faint sound of someone sleeping when I listen carefully in the darkness.

「Hey, it’s already night, you know? How long are you going to sleep?」

「Muu~…? …… Ah, Goshujin-sama~. Good morning~…」

「It’s night, you useless maid.」

Lilyvia, who was sleeping in my bed all day, stretched out her arms while yawning and greeted me. She seems to be still half asleep. After a few moments of pause, she goes back into her blanket――

「――Hey, don’t sleep again!」

「Aha~. It’s a sharp retort, Goshujin-sama~. But that’s a no~. Lily’s priority right now is her desire to sleep~. Just because I’m the queen of the country of lust, please don’t think that you can do it with me anytime, anywhere~」

「What the hell are you talking about, you idiot! Haa…. The disciple is storing up food, and the master is storing up sleep. You’re awfully motivated, huh, Lily?」

「…… Aha~, I knew that Goshujin-sama would realize it.」

「We’ve been working together for many years after all. I’ll leave you alone for the usual lazy sleep, but just like Nell concentrating on her training, you have been sleeping seriously, right? Are you trying to overthrow your older sisters?」

「Hmm, it’s not that I have such intentions, and I don’t have any grudge…. I mean, I’m a part of the Great Eight Demons, and I’m already superior to them. But well, Goshujin-sama’s enemy is my enemy. I want to make at least three of them kneel ♪」

「…… You’re eager to beat them, aren’t you?」

Even though she just woke up, she was talking fluently unlike her usual self. I knew that the sisters aren’t on good terms, but I didn’t know that it was this much.

「If Lily can reduce the sisters, I couldn’t ask for anything better. In that case, we can focus our other forces on Maria.」

「I know, right!? Lily cares about Goshujin-sama, so she unconsciously thinks so! Lily is perfect as your maid and mistress!」

「I-I see…. However, most of the sisters are as strong as you, right? Are you going to be okay fighting a lot of them?」

「It’s okay. …… I won’t let them lay their hands on Goshujin-sama.」

「I-I see….」

Today, the women group is menacing, huh. My weak heart has been scared since a while ago.

…… Seriously though, the current Lily is not a mere useless maid. While she’s in her usual state, she’s also wearing the air of the Great Eight Demons Lilyvia. Just like Nell, she’s also pushing herself to the limit.

「….. It seems that the date has been decided.」

「Yeah, three days later. Zex decided it on his own, though.」

「I see. Then, I’m going to sleep until three days later, so please wake me up on that day. Good night~」

「Hey, wait. You haven’t even eaten, right? At least, you should stuff your body with nutrients every day before going to bed.」

「Eh~, I think it’s better to sleep~. It’s good for my skin~」

「Don’t say that. It’s a dish made by your precious junior, you know? You should believe in Haru’s cooking. If that doesn’t work, then I will force you to believe in me.」

「Muu…. Even if you don’t say that, I believe in Haru-chan. Jeez, Goshujin-sama, you calmly say something that will make women fall for you! You’re a seducer!」

「Wha!? Hey, don’t say something misleading!」

Saying so, Lily jumped out of bed and flew away from the window toward the mansion. Why are the people of the Great Eight Demons relentlessly trying to damage my reputation?

―――― The 68th day of training is over.
