83 - Episode 3 Nemm

--One day. Nemmu, who is serving as an adventurer and escort for the moving lights on the ground, was returning to "The Abyss".

And so, Nemmu-sama!　You slept in a tent with Master Wright!"

'Yes, I know it's disrespectful, but Master Light said, "Nemmu and Gold have no experience, do they?"'　We slept in the tent together, taking turns on the night watch.

Ugh, ugh, I'm so jealous!　I envy you too much!"

In a corner of the Nasu basement cafeteria, Nemmu was taking advantage of her day off to enjoy conversation with four fairy maids who were also on their day off.

Today is the day when Wright himself has to return to "The Abyss" and do some paperwork and other chores. On such days, Nemmu and Gold, who work together as adventurers on the ground, were also treated as on holiday.

Gold went to a bar in the city on the ground, while Nemmu chose to return to the "abyss.

I want to stay with Mr. Light for as long as possible," he said, "but the entertainment environment is much better in the Abyss than on the ground.

Delicious food, snacks, baths, bedding, etc., all of which can be enjoyed without worrying about being seen, are all better.

From Nemmu's point of view, she could not understand why Gold would rather go to a bar on the ground.

The topic of conversation was, of course, about the lights.

We sat at a table in the dining room and talked over a cup of tea.

Nemmu played with her silver hair with a sullen look on her face.

The fairy maids eagerly took up the subject of the lights.

The bespectacled fairy maid frequently pushed up her frame and asked, "What is it that you want to talk about?

If you have experience in encampment, does that mean that you have had dinner prepared by ...... Mr. Wright?"

Phew. ......"

Her question makes Nemum laugh uncontrollably.

She made enough of a pout and then told him with a smug look on her face.

I'd rather eat the dinner that Mr. Wright so happily cooked for me because I don't usually get to do that."

How was the taste of Light-sama's homemade cooking?

Of course it was great. No matter how extravagant I may be, I will never in my life eat a dish that can compare to the dried meat and bread soup that Mr. Wright made!

As Nemum said, Wright made a really simple dish.

Rather, Wright originally camped out many times when he was an adventurer. He was in charge of miscellaneous tasks, which naturally included cooking.

So for Wright, he just wanted to cook for the first time in a long time, while reminiscing about the old days.

He rehydrated dried meat, chopped up wild plants, and added some bread for preservation.

Even the simplest dish available in the "abyss" is superior in taste.

But for the girls, who adore Wright, "Wright's homemade food" is worth it.

The fairy maids surrounding Nemmu voiced their deepest envy.

Nemmu-sama, I really envy you.

We'd love to try it.

Ah, Shimo, I want to try it.

I'd rather preserve Master's creations forever than eat them.

You will have the chance to eat it someday. I've already had one myself!

Nemumu, pampered by the fairy maids, let slip a rather flippant remark.

Then, she receives a word of cold water.

Kekekekekekekeke!　I really envy you wholeheartedly. Sleeping in a tent with the master, shopping, adventuring, protecting you, and cooking your meals by yourself.

What?

Everyone present, nemmu + fairy maids x 4, turn around at once.

Before they knew it, "UR, Chimera Mela Level 7777" stood by their side and entered the conversation.

She is a woman over 2 meters tall, wearing a hat, hair that extends to her back, and red eyes. Her mouth is rather large, and when she smiles, jagged teeth can be seen. She also wears a long skirt that covers her ankles and clothes with sleeves that extend to cover her hands.

She is tall, level, and intimidating. Above all.

Kekekekekekekeke!"　Ata I can imitate a scout if I change my body. ...... I wish you would replace Nemmu."

Huge eyeballs, tentacles, etc. undulate out of the wide cuffs.

Because Mera is a chimera, she has the power to change her body as she pleases. From the perspective of Nemumu, who specializes in assassination techniques, it is an extremely poor match.

She is also intimidating, as you never know when she might eat you from the head down, so Nemmu is not very good with her.

I can't say for myself, since it's Light-sama who decides. ......

Kekekekekekekekeke!"　I know, but I can't help feeling jealous. Can't you ask your master once through Nemmu's mouth?"

What?　By yourself?

Nemum's expression is drawn back at the hot recklessness.

He notices a look that follows him further.

............"

My partner says that I also have scouting skills. So, if you want to recommend me, you should do it yourself.

Even Tin-sama?

UR, double gunner Suzu level 7777, who usually prefers to eat alone in the corner of the cafeteria. He even enters the conversation with "The first time I saw him, he said, 'I'm not sure I want to talk about it.

She is shy and rarely interacts with other residents of the "abyss" because of her shyness. She even uses a long musket lock in her hand to carry on conversations instead.

She is unusually aggressive in selling herself.

She must want to spend time with Wright on the ground.

Kekekekekekekekeke!　Hey, hey, tin. You can't just come out and sidle in after me. I was the first one to talk to Nemumu, remember?"

"............"

I'm the one who deserves it, considering my abilities, so stop staring at me!"

We were chatting and laughing happily when the level 7777s started staring at each other.

The fairy maids, who were around level 500, shrank back and hid behind Nemumu. Even Nemmu is level 5000.

It would be impossible to stop them if they went on a rampage.

It was doubtful that they could even protect the fairy maids hiding in the shadows.

（Oh, no, that's not good!　If I had gotten carried away and bragged to the fairy maids, I never thought this would happen!　Rather, who could have seen this coming!)

Kekekekekekekekekekekekeke!"

"............"

I'm not sure what you're talking about, but I'm sure you'll be fine.　It would be unfashionable to go out of control in a place like this, wouldn't it?"

The only lock in Tin's hand manages to stop them by saying a few words.

Everyone in the room, except Mera and Suzu, put their hopes in the lock.

However, the glaring between the two is quickly calmed down by the voice of the light.

The two men are now fighting in the cafeteria, but their glare is quickly subdued by Light's voice: "Yes, yes, you two shouldn't be fighting in the cafeteria, okay?"

Master Light!"

Everyone present falls flat.

With a familiar look on his face, Wright told everyone to raise their heads.

Ice Heat, dressed as a maid with an escort behind him, glares at Mera and Tin.

Light smiles at Ice Heat, who glares at them, and waves his hand to admonish them.

While admonishing them, he called out to Mera and Tin.

I'm glad you feel that way Mera and Suzu, but you two are too strong for me to bring you up on the ground yet. Sorry?"

Kekekekeke!"　No, it's my fault for getting a little overzealous. I'm sorry.

"............"

My partner is sorry for what he did.

Thank you, both of you. That's very kind of you to say. It's time for a break, so why don't we all have a snack?

Everyone responds to Wright's suggestion with joyful smiles.

I'm with everyone else, 'What kind of treats do you eat?'" and move to the side of the light while conversing happily.

Nemmu reflected as she walked after him.

(Next time, let's be a little less boastful about being with Mr. Light. ...... I don't know how many lifetimes and stomach walls I'll have if he keeps doing this to me. ......)

Alone, Nemum reflected on the situation.
