304-298 Selection

Until late last night, the War Maiden Holy Knight Squad, who had finished adjusting their reinforced and maintained armor, and Lydia, Nadia, Estia, Keti, and Kefin were holding a mock battle in the underground arena, assuming a real battle.

My mentor, who was the referee, talked to Bazak, who was refereeing in the middle of the fight, and I, who was made to be a recovering officer and referee, didn't have time to rest slowly and watch the fight until the end.

I couldn't stop the War Maiden Holy Knights, who were happily checking their enhanced armor, halfway through the battle, and when I told Kefin and the others that they could give it their all, they gradually heated up on each other.

I thought it would end soon in my opinion, but with everyone being unexpectedly competitive, it was already close to midnight before the fight was over.

Afterwards, I knew that there was a big bath in the mansion as well, but everyone didn't seem to have the energy to do so, so it was decided that I would use my purification magic to clean everyone, and they fell asleep in what I called my private room.

And at dawn, it was Alice in a maid's uniform who came to wake me up.

I stuttered at the sight of her, and my sleepiness was blown away at once.

''........What's that outfit?''

'I'm going to be working as an apprentice maid from today... nice to meet you, Master.

Apparently, Alice is going to work as an apprentice maid in our house... but I refuse to admit it!

Speaking of maids, cleaning - don't mix it up - is the pattern that causes the most danger.

'I thought we were going to work on ideas together at Lyna's?

'I don't know anything about technology, and ideas don't just pop out of my mouth like that, do they?　That's why I asked Mr. Nahlia to help me.

"...no cooking, no mixing with chemicals. It's also forbidden to make poisonous substances and to say, "Hey, I'll mix it with this." If you do, you must leave immediately. Understood?

'Don't worry about it so much. After all, that's what I got my appraisal skills for.

"...Huh, well, you can go to the dining room first then.

There's nothing I can do to help you, and I'd be bored if you didn't let me play a little more.

I'll let you choose if you want to be fired and thrown out, or if you still want to keep going.

'Just kidding, please don't dismiss me. Excuse me.

I said with a smile, and Alice immediately left my room.

"When you get used to living like this you're stuck with it.

Having won a mock battle against my masters yesterday, I feel a little more confident and stronger now that I've won.

However, I also understood that if I had to fight all of the War Maiden Holy Knights last night, or multiple classes of Kefin and others, it would be a battle of how to survive.

I was desperately trying to stop the days of peace I had envisioned seeming to crumble without a sound, and I renewed my resolve to focus all my energy on taking care of the demon race and the matter of the light dragon first.

After finishing the meal, he would have the factory-grown vegetables harvested and then stored them in the magic bag.

Of course, they also had some honey and mead for diplomacy, but it seems that a few people, including Miss Cassie, had been asked to share the mead last night, and they had given them a barrel of it.

Naturally, Lumina didn't know, and the other members of the squad, who hadn't been able to find the mead, pursued Cassie and the others about the whereabouts of the keg, and the fact that the keg had been empty last night.

'I don't know how you drank that much and it didn't affect your early morning training.

It seems that the War Maiden Holy Knights were already conducting early morning training.

''That mead, it's very delicious and doesn't give you a hangover. ........Captain, let's make the secret of Luciel-kun's power the honey wine. And I can actually feel the power coming up.

What do you think, Luciel?

When Cassie told her that in an angry atmosphere, Lumina thought for a moment and asked us a question.

But as expected, there was no reason for the mead wine, and I was sure that the reason why I became strong was because of my master's training, Mr. Gruger's diet, and Object X.

'The secret to your power?　If it's object X and mead, it's definitely object X. I've only drunk more mead than I can count, so...

'Well, I suppose so.... Now, those who drink mead, including cassie, without asking for it, will be suitably penalized, so look forward to it.

Oh, no.

Lumina looked a little disappointed and told Cassie that.

'You got what you deserved,'

"The War Maidens of the Holy Order are a squad that shares all our joys and sorrows, and yet they slipped away.

Miss Queena and Elizabeth looked at Lucy and Saran and Bearyce, who were probably having a drink with Miss Cassie.

'That's what I mean. So ... Mr. Luciel, would you be willing to distribute the mead to us as well?

Lumina-san was also apparently interested in the honey wine.

''Yes, if it's in the form of a sale, it's possible to accommodate the War Maiden Holy Knight Squad a little bit. We have no intention of producing either honey or mead until the Hatch tribe is forced to do so, so we can't provide you with that much, so please understand that.

Thank God.

Lumina's face was clouded a few minutes later as she smiled at that.

She had found out that the maximum amount of mead she could offer in a year was five barrels.

The punishment for Cassie and her friends was soon to be decided. Cassie and her friends made a desperate apology, but it was never forgiven.

Although the departure was a bit of a slap in the face, the departure time arrived safely, and we were now on the bridge of the amphibian, watching Lionel and Nahlia's heated embrace as we waited for our departure.

It was me, Master, Lionel, Lionel, the War Maiden Holy Knights, Doran, Paula, Lisian, Nanya, Nadia, Lydia, Estia... and Bazak who finally boarded the amphibian.

It seems that Bazak bowed to his master many times and asked him to ask me to ask him to let him accompany them.

After breakfast, they came in together, and after being bowed to by Bazak, I decided to allow him to accompany me, with the encouragement of my master.

This time, I chose to leave Keti and Kefin behind to protect Yenis in case the demon race attacked us.

''So, Luciel, is that dragon valley far away?''

'Yes, I know Master didn't sleep last night either, so please go to sleep.

I will. Get there, or when the dragon shows up, make sure you wake him up.

I'm sure the only people who would tell me to wake them up to fight, not to escape, would be a group of people on this amphibian.......haha~.

I let out a sigh in my mind, made a smile and nodded at my master's words.

Yes, sir.

Then, after confirming that Lionel had boarded the amphibian, I finally launched the amphibian and landed it just as the untamed forest came into view.

''Lydia, Estia and Lisian, I think I explained the situation this morning, but I'm going to go see the water spirits now, so follow me. You can all go outside, but please don't act too recklessly.

With that much said, we stepped quickly into the uncharted forest to see the water spirit.
