Volume 2 Chapter 22 Carrier’s Morning Starts Early

Good morning, Axel.」

「Good morning, Master!」

When I woke up early in the morning, a half-naked Saki was standing beside my bed.

She was grappling with Berzelia, who was also half-naked, with their hands locked in struggle.

「I’ll ask just in case, but what are you doing?」

「Well, I thought that I want to gaze at Axel-san’s body in the morning and openly entered through the window, but this Dragon Monarch Hydra came to restrain me…」

「That’s because when I came to borrow the bath in master’s room, I found this Lysnoir approaching your bed half-naked! Of course, I would immediately put a stop to it.」

「I see. You two, thank you for your detailed explanations. In other words……Everything is as usual.」

Looking around, I see that the window was thrown open and outside it was visible a trail of ice. Most likely she came through it from the room next door.

Back in my dragon knight days, such situations happened from time to time, and it seems hardly anything has changed from back then.

「Mmm, and here I thought that in the morning Axel will finally give me permission to dive in……」

「I wonder if it’s appropriate to strip before you even got permission, Lysnoir……!」

Both release their holds and look at each other with fake smiles.

While thinking that this scene looks pretty nostalgic, I get out of bed and stretch.

I completely woke up around the time I heard their explanations.

「Okay then, we are going to have breakfast, so put on your clothes.」

Even if it’s hot, we can’t go to the bar where breakfast is served while half-naked. So I said that—

「Mmmm…」

Saki turned to me and spread her hands.

「What is this stance?」

「Well, I just thought it would be nice if you dressed me.」

「Are you a kid?」

「I’m not a kid. Rather, I’m so grown up that I’m ready to have your kids any time! Yes, if you want children, just tell me. And right now, we can view this as a practice for that, how about that?」

「Don’t approach me with a how about that… Good grief, just raise both of your hands.」

I pick up Saki’s clothes lying on the floor and dress her.

「Fufu… Somehow, this reminds me of the times you took care of me when I was sick, Axel is really nice after all. Thank you.」

Then, she smiled delightfully, with a slight blush on her face.

Looks like she also remembered the old days—

「T-That’s unfair! Me too, me too!」

Next to us, Berzelia was calling for attention with clothes in her hands.

「You surely can put them on yourself. Berzelia, you are getting too influenced by Saki.」

While saying that, I dress Berzelia as well.

When I’m done with that, Berzelia also showed a satisfied smile.

「Ehehe. But you did it anyway, I love you, Master.」

「I can put them on you, but please adjust small details by yourself.」

「Yees.」

It somehow was a lot of hassle right after I woke up, but now they are finally wearing clothes.

Now we have no problem heading to the first floor.

「Then, let’s go.」

「Yes. It might be a bit late to say that, but today we are having breakfast quite early.」

「Well. Yesterday, Lilac was saying that she might have to rely on us for some work. I wanted to hear more about this matter, so I thought we might go a little earlier.」

「Work for Axel? What kind of request is that?」

「Well, I don’t know that much. That was a topic that came up when we were drinking yesterday.」

It seems that Lilac is assembling parties of adventurers and fighters from different guilds. Then she said that she might make a request for me related to that matter.

「She said that for now it was only hypothetical and she will tell me the decision in the morning. So I want to get more details during this time.」

「Understood, Master. Whatever the request might be, I will do my best to assist you!」

「Got it, Axel. Then I will cooperate to the best of my abilities as well.」

And so, early in the morning, bringing along two girls who were shouting like they were trying to compete with each other, I head to the bar, where Lilac most likely was.
