146 - - After One Night

When I logged in, I was on the bed.

I was supposed to be sleeping on the floor, but Camilla woke up while I was logging out and put me on the bed instead. And there are black-and-white hot-water bottles on either side of me. He came back near dawn, and it is now just before noon.　Lapidus and Noel are under the covers.

"Hmm. "Hey, Lord, are you awake?"

"Good morning, Lord."

"Good morning."

I was greeted while I was at a loss as to where to start, such as the fact that I was carried in my sleep at my age, or the fact that I was put on the bed after Camilla had used it, or the fact that the two of us were under the covers... I was not sure where to start. Well, it seems that the bedclothes are not damp with drool like when I slept with a big dog. I half sit up and stroke their heads softly. Normally, they seem to be territorial and seldom come upstairs, but I wonder if it's because they've been sleeping with other people besides me here, or if they've expanded their range?

"Camilla noticed that, didn't she?"

"Yes, I'm downstairs. He drank a lot of water and has been bathed.

"Camilla, she said she was tired of sleeping."

Noel and Lapidus tell us the current situation. Lapidus presses his forehead against me. Scenting?　Are you smelling me?

But still, isn't Camilla still not in her right mind?　I don't know if it will heal that fast.

After washing my face and feeling refreshed, I went downstairs and found Cal Reno Galahad Eagle Camila in the common room.

"It's so small!"

"That's the first thing you say!"

No, it's not a room big enough for four men of around maximum height, plus five if you count me. Plus Camilla, Lapidus and Noel. We are completely over capacity. I thought I understood why Lapis and Noel were in my room.

...... and I can also see the handprints on Galahad and Eagle's cheeks, what happened?

"Good morning, is Camilla all right now?　Or we could remodel the third floor of the liquor store."

The third floor of the general store (here) could also be remodeled a bit, so that people can come and go between the three floors.

"Good morning. I'm glad you're at peace with your troubles. Thanks to you, I'm fine now.

"Good morning, Lord. It was taken care of quickly and there seems to be no after-effects. However, he has lost a lot of weight in a short period of time, so don't push yourself too hard.

Cal adds, "Don't overdo it," and nails Camilla.

"Shall we eat anyway?　We also have opening hours."

"Yes, sir."

Today's menu is Gorgonzola cheese spaghetti with flat noodles. Green papaya salad, oven-baked pork loin, onion soup. Gateau chocolat with plenty of fresh cream and ruby berry sorbet. Tea or coffee.

Gorgonzola spaghetti tastes bad as soon as it gets cold.

"As delicious as ever!

"Excellent."

Thank you."

The reputation is good, but in fact it is not a very high ranked dish. I guess I'll have to go on a trip to gather ingredients, and I'm also wondering about the meat that the gods have rammed into the labyrinth. It's worthwhile to make it when someone eats it with relish.

"By the way, I want to thank you again for saving all three of us.

You're welcome. Galahad and Eagle are the stars of the rescue play.

"It must be hard just to keep going in that scorching hot place, isn't it?　I heard that a well-known knight once went to Mount Huaguo to cure the same disease, but he was not only unable to obtain the fruit, but even his own life was in danger.

Galahad and Eagle looking away at all costs. They don't tell Camilla about the boomerang pants.

"Anyway, can you introduce me to Reno again?"

Eagle changes the subject casually, but is suspicious of his behavior when he sees it. I feel sorry for him, so I'll give him a ride.

"Ah, Reno is a dragonet in the service of Paltin, the Golden Dragon, and he's on a field trip with us.

""""Parthin!"""

"You don't have to be so surprised: ......"

"A dragonut is rare, but a parthin? I thought if there was a dragon that served him, it would be Narn, the blue dragon."

"Yeah, it's water-based, Reno."

"No, no?　It's better that Partin the gold dragon doesn't actively go outside his territory, but he's just as belligerent as Grasha the red dragon, you know?　Normally, I wouldn't have a chance to interact with them, you know?"

"Not as good as Homura's pet, though."

"Well, you did get a setback cross on your arm the first time we met."

"No, no?　Why are they scaling back so much?"

I told Galahad that Paltin was belligerent and he denied it when I told him about my experience.

"It's true," he said, "that with Mistiff's case, Paltin-sama has been mercilessly exterminating any willful or harmful thing he finds in his territory, as soon as he sees it.

Reno adds.

"Is that so?"

"Basically, I'm a pain in the ass, so I get rid of them before I ask them why. If there is a reason, it is usually unrelated to Mr. Partin. We're not messing with where the cavalry is, and if you don't want to die, you don't have to come here.

"I'm the one who broke in, but I think it's important to separate the people, don't you?"

I'm pretty sure dragons lived here before humans did. No, I entered the area of the Mystiffs, which is not affected by the Parthians.

So?　Why is Homura safe?"

"I sometimes look around the cavalry and when I find someone who has mistakenly entered Master Partin's territory, I give him a warning once. There was a little incident there..."

"Ah, Reno. These three know about White."

"Master Partin is protecting the Mistiffs, and since Homura has the same species (Mistiff) as a summoner, he is going to help us with the other Mistiffs as well. In order to broaden my horizons, and also to return to my original attributes, I have separated myself from Mr. Partin and am now working as a cavalry beast as a means of transportation for Homra under his order."

Camilla is stunned, Galahad is scrunching his brow, and Eagle looks like he's about to sigh.

"We've risked our lives to get through the dragon hunting grounds, praying that Paltin the Golden Dragon wouldn't find us. ......"

"You made it through there, you guys. ......"

Kalu looks at Galahad and the others with a complicated look on his face.

"I thought that if they found us, they would kill us without question, no matter what we said. ......"

We should put up a placard that says, "I'm a friend of Homura."

Camilla shrugs her shoulders and looks frightened.

"Paltin seemed to be able to communicate better than Narn. ......"

"If we ask Narn, the blue dragon, to do something separately, he's more likely to do what we ask, even if it's just to get us through his territory. Most of the other dragons are very difficult to get to the point where they will listen to you.

"So, you've already encountered Narn, the blue dragon?"

"He was blue and pulled."

"Pull ......"

"Old Nalung is indeed an old man, but I don't think he was that weak. It was a hundred years ago when I met him."

A bewildered Reno. I don't know if I should tell him that he's supposed to have threatened me by mistake.

"I'm glad we're both okay. Homura, can I ask you something?

Camilla smiles.

"Uh ......, I had Lapidus change my clothes. Sorry about the underwear, Lapidus asked me about it and I just took out the drop!"

"......,I meant Master Lancelot."

"......"

I dug a grave.

"Homura?"

"Did you give Camilla a bikini too?"

"And?"

Two more grave diggers.

"......, you guys must have had a pleasant road trip."

After being told the whole story from the time he met Galahad and his friends in the labyrinth city until now.

"I didn't wear them because I wanted to!"

"Same as on the right."

I have a SS if you want."

""Hey!""

Destroy it!　Turn it off!　Camilla sighed as they struggled with protests such as "I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

"Before I lost consciousness, the situation couldn't have been worse, I hated being slowed down, I was anxious and unworthy ....... When I regained consciousness, I found you guys lying in a strange room, and no matter how much I called you, you wouldn't wake up. Lapidus and Noel both recognized my voice and came to the room, and no matter what Homura did, you wouldn't wake up."

Yeah, I was logged out.

"The three of us were fussing and finally Galahad and Eagle woke up and realized they were just sleeping. I hit them before I could thank them."

Camilla says with a tearful smile. --That's why the handprints are so clear on their faces.

"And Homura. I'm sorry I made such a fuss that I had to teach Lapidus and Noel about the sleep of the Gentiles.

You hid it from me, didn't you?　And.

I didn't know what he meant, so I kept my mouth shut. Apparently, is irregular, lasting for a few hours or a few days, and sometimes they go to sleep without waking up. It seems to be such a perception that makes the residents who have become close to them very uneasy, wondering if they will really wake up.

I'm sorry, but I didn't sleep here simply because I forgot to buy a futon and I liked the inn because it was hassle-free. ...... the atmosphere is very unspoken!

......This is why Lapidus and Noel were so attached when they woke up!

I'll pet them both for now.

"Camilla's fine, her powers haven't diminished, and the old man's fine. There's nothing to say.

Galahad, too, can't stand the dark or damp atmosphere, he says cheerfully and laughs.

"I don't know how many times I've said this, but I never thought Master Lancelot would be with Homra.

"I didn't think you and your ungrateful disciples were acquaintances of the Lord, either."

"Galahad is a disciple of Kal?"

Yes, Galahad has been an unruly brute since he was Lapidus' or Noel's age, and I can't tell you how many times I've had to beat him with an iron fist.

"Geez!　Don't say anything you don't have to!　"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no."

I was wondering what I would do if you told me we were father and son. I'm relieved to see Galahad iron clawing at a smiling Kal.

"It's an unusual group of people for a grocery store, isn't it? I hope it's peaceful.

"I don't think Master Lancelot is ready to retire, though."

Camilla and Eagle argue.

"There's no tension, it's peaceful. We've had our first visitor, a dragonet I've only heard of in the lore, and a cardinal for some reason.

Cal. answers by disarming the iron claw from Galahad.

"...... is that peaceful?"

Camilla was puzzled by something, but generally peaceful.

And the succubus's underwear was still a non-issue. ！！！！！！！
