Yesterday morning we guided Mel and Meral around and saw off the spirits, in the afternoon we set up the gravity stone, and in the evening we had a meeting about Sake Island. I had a busy day, even if I don't think about it too much ....... It's not like I'm being pressed for work, so I'll take my time. What's that?　I think I thought the same thing before.

"Good morning, everyone. ...... Um, are you sure we haven't been talking about this the whole time?"

I woke up in the morning and went down to the living room while equipping Bell and the others, and found Sylphy and Ruby and the others all there. Gina and the others at the other table may be different, but Sylphy and Ruby seem to be completely devoted.

"Yes, we're going to build an island for the spirits, an island dedicated to drinking. We don't have time to rest."

Even without booze, just talking about booze can keep you going all night long.

"Yes. I've got a lot to think about, and I've got a lot of buildings to think about."

"Hey, nomos don't have to worry about buildings. Don't be too hard on yourself."

"Hmmm, Nomos, you're not good at design, are you?"

"Well, maybe we should ask Citrine to do the ...... design."

Sylphy and Nomos are very enthusiastic. If and Dine give their comments to Nomos, and Vita sums it up nicely. Dolly ...... is looking at them with a smile on her face. It reminds me of the school festival.

I'm glad you're so excited about it, but are you and Ruby ready to set up store?　The spirits are coming to visit tomorrow, and there will be more of them, right?"

"Oh, I was right. I was going to prepare a stew, but we stayed up all night discussing it!"

Ruby starts fidgeting, probably completely absorbed in the discussion. I imagine that stewed food tastes better when it's cooked slowly.

"Can you make it in time?"

"Well, we still have time until tomorrow's lunchtime, don't worry!　Everybody get ready!　We need your help!"

Ruby and her friends are rushing out of the living room. If everyone helps, we'll make it in time. But they look too busy to dismantle the light and dark dragons. I think I'm a little off schedule.

I think it's not a good time to ask Nomos to appraise the treasure, or to equip Gina and the others, ...... seeing Sylphy and the others eagerly discussing about the sake island. It was a mistake to talk about sake island yesterday. I should have told them after I finished everything else.

"Hmmm......... let's have breakfast for now. What do you want for breakfast?"

"Not today. Yuta and the others can enjoy themselves."

I kind of had a feeling. Let's leave the grown-ups talking and we'll have breakfast.

"Master, what are you doing today?"

Sarah asked me what my plans were for today. I haven't thought about it yet because so many things have gone wrong with my schedule.

"...... I guess so. I'm sure you'll want to use the slides in the morning, so we're free to go. In the afternoon we'll train, including Mel and Meral. Tomorrow you'll go to the nest of the undead, so you can work out your formations and attack methods."

We would love to see Mel go down the slide. Gina and the others are eating at a faster pace, and Mel seems to have lost his appetite. Yesterday, he said he was going to try the slide today, but he is still not ready for it. That's just like Mel.

"What are you going to do, Master?　Do you want to go down the slide with me?"

Gina asks me with an excited expression like a child. She has the same expression as Marco who is standing next to her, but as a daughter at her age, is that right?　......Well, if they look that happy, I'll say it was worth making.

What would I do if Gina, Sara, or Kikka found someone they liked?　I feel that there is even a possibility of eliminating the other guy. ......I hope Gina and her family will always be children.

"......I've been busy lately, I'm going to relax at home and play with the Belles."

I've lost my temper due to my weird imagination and I need some healing.

"Play!""" Cu-cu-cu!""" What are you doing?""" Coo!"" I'm gonna get a moan!""" ......!"

We're in the middle of breakfast and the Belles have gathered. They were excited to play together. We spend a lot of time together, but we don't get a chance to play well together.

I'm going to play with them as much as I can. But we'll play only after breakfast. I stroke the belles, who are all tugging at me, to calm them down.

"We'll play only after we've finished eating," he says.

When the belles had calmed down, I warned them and they returned to their meals at once. The Belles are eating at a faster pace than usual. ...... I have a feeling that today is going to be a hard day.

The bells are going to have a hard day today.　Do you want to go on the slide?"

After breakfast was over, I called out to the fidgety Belle and her friends, and they got into a dumpling and started talking to each other. They are so cute that I would like to relax and watch this scene. ...... The belles flew in happily. It seems that the consultation is already over.

"Yuta, let's go to the room!"

"Room?"

"So. Belle and her friends' room."

You mean the nursery. I thought they'd go outside to play. They're so active. That's a little unexpected.

"Okay. Let's go to your room."

The rushing Bells take me upstairs and show me to Bells' room. Come to think of it, I haven't been in the children's room since we made the furniture for them, since the Bells usually storm in the morning when I leave the room, and at night I let them do whatever they want. It hasn't been that long since we made the furniture, but let's check how it feels to use.

"Come in!"

Belle urged me to open the door to the nursery ...... and I found it to be quite a colorful affair. Are you using Emme's grocery store when you're away from me?

"Cue cue."

I was a little frozen at the unexpected sight, when Rain pushed me back. He said, "Come inside quickly.

"......It's a very unique room, isn't it?"

He enters the room, looks around, and gives his impressions. It feels strange because the sundries are displayed wherever they want, not only for their intended purpose. But I don't feel any discomfort, perhaps because I have a good sense of color. It is a mysterious space.

"Yuta!　Here, look at this!"

Flare pulls me to the desk he made for Flare last time. Her words are a bit plain, and I guess she really wanted to show me something.

"...... Lots of red bits and bobs. But I think it's all nicely organized, with the fire-lighting tools and the shades of color. Flare does a good job of arranging the accessories."

I'm tempted to do a little experiment to see what would happen if I gave ...... the scales of a fire dragon. I'm a little worried about fire, but I'm sure the fire spirit will take care of that.

"Of course!"

Flair is making a smug face with his chest out. This little bit of cheekiness is surprisingly cute.

"By the way, there's the treasure that everyone picked out in the labyrinth. I'd like to see them displayed, but I haven't had Nomos appraise them yet.

"I forgot!　Hmmm, can you give it to me as soon as you're done?"

"Yeah, well, Nomos is a little busy right now, so it might take a little while, but I'll give it to you as soon as I'm done."

Then, wait for it!

They said they'll wait. Satisfied with the introduction of his desk, he sits back in his chair and smiles.

"Yuta, this is Belle's desk.

"Here's mine."

Following Flair, Belle and Tulu show us their desks. Belle's desk is ...... messy. It looks like she has collected a lot of things she likes. The room itself is nicely decorated, but why is there chaos on the desk?

On the other hand, Tulu's desk has few things. It is as if he has carefully selected and arranged the things he loves. It seems like a spirit of the earth that there are many ores, earthenware, and metalware.

What's that?　...... three desks in a row......Bell,Tull,Flare......If you think of soil as yellow, green,yellow,red is a traffic light?　......I got excited for a moment that I noticed something interesting, but no one knows what a traffic light is. At times like this, I wish someone from my hometown would be there. I wonder if there are any Japanese people around?

I don't know if they are Japanese or not in Beryl's kingdom, but I felt traces of otherworldly people, so there is no possibility. Well, it seems to be a very small possibility, so I don't think I'm going to look for them myself.

"Yuta, what do you think?"

Oops, Bell is waiting for your thoughts on the desk. And he doesn't seem to suspect that he will be praised. ...... probably would want to tell her to clean up her desk a little bit if a normal parent saw it.

But ...... of course they can't say that to me. I have to praise Bell, but also mix in some advice to make it a little bit better. It's not easy.

"Yeah. ...... Belle's desk is full of cute little things. Are they all Belle's favorites?"

"Yeah!　Beru's treasure!"

It's a treasure. Yes, there will be some treasures in the labyrinth if Bell and his friends give you what they choose, but right now it's just a bunch of green stuff. But for a child, something he likes is as valuable as a treasure.

"I see, so many treasures, that's great for the bells. But it's a little hard to see since he collects so much ......?"

I say a little harshly with a sense of excitement.

"Is it hard to see?

"Yes, I think it would be more fun if the treasures are easy to see.

Belle nodded her head in agreement. Where did she learn to put her hand on her chin?　A little doubtful, but I think I can manage to alleviate some of the confusion on my desk. Good job, me.

"Which one do you like?"

...... Just when I thought I had solved the conundrum, more conundrums came flying in. Am I supposed to pick out the good ones from this mass of green sundries?　I don't want to answer Bell's question in a random way. But I don't know which one is the best. Think, think, me.

"Well, I think it's best if Belle chooses the one she wants. I'll give you the treasure chest to put her treasure in. And what if we put Belle's treasures in the box and change them every day?"

"A treasure chest!" I want one too! Me too!""" Cue ""koo-koo"""......""

When I came up with the idea of giving them treasure chests as containers, all the belles bit the bullet. Well, we don't have any chests, and a room full of treasure chests would be cool. I take the six gorgeous treasure chests out of the magic bag and place them on the wall.

They look so sparkly. I don't know about the value, but I wouldn't mind using them as chests rather than storing them in the magic bag. I'll give it to Gina and Fuchu and the others later.

"Kukk!　Coo?"

"Tamamo, what's wrong?"

Tamamo is trying to tell me something. It's so cute the way it moves its right hand.

"Tamamo wants a wooden treasure chest. I want a silver one. ......"

I see, so they have their own preferences for treasure chests. I guess they prefer wooden treasure chests to gorgeous ones because they are spirits of the forest. Tulu seems to prefer silver to gold.

"Okay. Okay, I'll trade you. Is there anyone else you'd like to trade?"

I don't think so. The treasure chests are replaced, and we watch as Bell and his friends quickly fill them with treasure. Perhaps we should also ask Rain, Tulu, Tamamo, and Moon what they think of their treasures. I hope they don't come up with any difficult questions.
