369 - - Episode 367 The Spirit Kings After a Long Time

Yesterday I asked Belle and the boys to clean up with their magic brooms and I took off into the sky with my magic carpet and ended up groggy. I guess you can't be reckless with magic tools, no matter how fun they are. After that, Gina and the others were escorted by Sylphy and sent up to the sky on the magic carpet. It was impressive that they all enjoyed a leisurely walk in the air taking turns and came back with smiles on their faces. A magic carpet is a wonderful tool if you don't do anything crazy and have a spirit of wind.

"Yuta, do you want to clean up today?"

After breakfast, Belle asked me a question. Yesterday, when you came to report that you had finished the cleaning, you were extremely excited, weren't you? She explained in detail how she had worked hard and how the magic power she had put into the broom had lasted until the end. I guess they enjoyed cleaning so much that they want to do it again today.

The belles had cleaned the place up so nicely yesterday that every nook and cranny was spotless. It doesn't matter if you don't clean.

But if you're asking me, it means you want to clean. There's nothing wrong with cleaning often, and the spirit kings will be here at noon, so I'll ask them to do the final cleaning.

Well then, I'll ask you to finish up the living room and the hallway one more time.

I took out a magic broom, put some magic power into it, and handed it to Belle, who was overjoyed as she began to sweep. Gina and the others, who had never seen a magic broom in action before, watched with great interest.

It would be good to ask the labyrinth core to make other magic tools for cleaning, since it would make the room clean and interesting to watch. It would be fun to have a mop, a dustcloth, a brush, and so on.

It seems that we can choose the demon, but can we make any kind of magical tool we want?　Come to think of it, it is the type of labyrinth where the treasure chests are not replenished, and it would be troublesome if we have to create a new layer in order to bring out new treasure chests. I'll check this when I meet the labyrinth core next time.

"Master, should we help with the cleaning?　I don't know what to do. ......"

Gina speaks to me in a puzzled tone. Bell and the others are basically just cheering us on, and I don't know what I'm supposed to do to help.

"We'll leave the cleaning up to the Bells, no problem. I don't know what I'm supposed to do to help... I don't know what I'm supposed to do to help.

Ruby, Nomos and the others seem to be busy with the King of Spirits, but there is little I and Gina can do. Then we should do what else we need to do.

"The magical tools we use?"

"Yes, I found some magic tools that might be useful for exploring in the labyrinth, so let's try them outside for now. Maybe it will lighten the load of Fuku-chan and the others."

At first I thought of using it myself, but with Sylphy and Belle and the others I could almost manage. It would be better if Gina and Fukuchan, who are still weak and do not have all the attributes, could use it.

We leave Belle and Fukuchan and the others, who are engrossed in their magic broomsticks, and go outside. Meral came outside with them, and it might take a middle-class spirit to resist the magic broom's charms. Well, you'll get bored after a while. .......

"First, this tent. Come inside."

He takes out a magic tent and invites Gina and the others inside.

"Wow, it's huge!"

It's true!　It's huge!　Master ...... why?"

Marco and Kikka are surprised at how spacious the tent is. That in itself was a pleasant surprise, but they were curious as to why. I didn't think you would ask me that. I guess I can't just explain that it's a magical tool.

"Well, you know, ...... it's because the magic power makes the space bigger. ......"

I think it is the same as the explanation that it is a magic tool.

"Magic, wow!"

Kikka is impressed by my poor explanation. I hope you will always keep this honesty. Sylphie, Gina, Sara, stop that subtle expression.

"Uh-huh... so this isn't the only grimoire..."

Take out the spring water jar, the blower, and the clean toilet and lay them out.

"Master, this is the pot that gushes water when you put magic power into it. What are the other two?

This one is a magical tool that produces a cool breeze when you put magic power into it, and this one is a magical tool that turns into a private toilet when you put magic power into it.

"""" Toilets! """"

Oh, Gina, Sara, Kikka, and Mel are all biting. It seems that the toilet conditions in the labyrinth are not so good for women.

When they look at me for an explanation, I respond by showing them the actual toilet. I think the water gushing pot and the blower are quite useful, but the impression is somewhat diluted. Instead of showing them all at once, they should have been shown in order, and the toilet should have been shown last.

After the visit to the toilet is over, I explain the spring water pot and the blower to Gina and the others who are in a good mood, and move the beds from the mobile base that Gina and the others are using.

Hey master, this tent is as comfortable as an inn, isn't it?　Is this what being an adventurer is all about?"

"Master, I think so too. Maybe it's a magical tool used by the best adventurers.

Gina and Sara ask questions. Mel must feel the same way, because he nodded his head.

"If you put it that way, the equipment you have here is the equipment of a top class adventurer. Well, you should make use of what you have, since you have it. It'll keep Gina and the others safe and reduce the burden on Fuk-chan and the others, so there's nothing wrong with that."

It looks like a normal tent, so there will be no raids on tents. The only disadvantages are that you don't get the ...... spirit of weed, and the quality of the products are so good that they grow on you.

Sarah and the others know what a tough situation they are in, and Mel's personality will make it difficult for him to grow. Gina should be fine ...... because she's a straight shooter even though her father and brother dote on her so much. If someone gets carried away, confiscate their useful tools and maybe they will understand?

I'm usually the one who seems to get the most carried away. Instead of worrying about Gina and the others, I need to tighten my grip and not get carried away.

******

"Hey, it's Mr. Wind, isn't it?"

The inside of the magic tent has been set up and the belles have finished cleaning up. It was almost time for the spirits to come and play, so we waited outside to greet them, when a large dragon flew in.

"Yes, Mr. Wind. I think he brought them all back again."

I knew it. The wind spirit king is like a vehicle ...... well, I guess a spirit doesn't care too much about that."

I came to my own conclusions along the way. A human king would value dignity, but a genie, right?

"I don't care."

Right. Oh, it's smaller. When Mr. Wind's huge body shrank, a small figure of a spirit appeared. Sixty little ones, their attendants, and the spirit kings......... That's quite a crowd! The genies are coming toward us with the genie kings in the lead.

Oh no. The number of little kids is increasing and the destructive power of the group is growing. It's like babies, kindergartners, and elementary school students playing with baby animals in the petting zoo. Even those who don't particularly like children or small animals can be compulsively made to feel happy.

When I check on Nomos, he looks like he's chewing on a bitter bug ....... He must be desperately trying to keep his face from turning into a blubbering mess.

"Hey Yuta, thanks for the invite."

No, no, no, no. Welcome, everyone. We are also grateful to have the spirit kings here, so if Mr. Alvard gives you permission, you are welcome to visit us anytime.

"Haha, you need Alvard's permission. And as I told you before, I don't like to be formal, so please take it easy."

I know, but there are so many little ones that I have to be a little polite at least at first. Also, without Mr. Alvard's permission, I'm afraid that Mr. Wind will be mixed in with the children before I know it. Mr. Alvard looks like he has said well, so I guess my decision is right.

I understand. I'll try to avoid honorifics as much as possible for now. Then please greet Belle and Gina and Fuchu and the others. Oh, Mel is meeting the spirit kings for the first time, so why don't you greet them with me and Meral?

The little army + Gina, who know each other, go to greet the spirit kings and other spirits, while I greet Mel, who is very nervous about meeting the spirit kings.

I had told Mel beforehand that the Spirit Kings are friendly people and that he would be fine, but it seems I couldn't even get him to ease his nerves. Well, it can't be helped. I also get nervous when I hear the king is coming. Especially since I've seen Master Wind's huge dragon.

Once again, we greet Master Wind, Water, Earth, Fire, Light, and Dark, introducing Mel and Meraru.

Mel is stumped, but completes the greeting without incident. Somehow, she seems to have relaxed a little after interacting with Mr. Light. The sight of the cute little ball rabbit trying her best to talk big has a very soothing effect on me. I can't tell Mr.Light but .......

After the greeting, I looked around and found the situation quite interesting. The little kids who came to visit, our little army, and Gina are all mingling in a group. I'd like to mix with them a bit.

Ruby and her friends seem to be having a meeting with ...... the spirits accompanying them. I guess it's safe to leave the other side to them.

"Yuta. It's a little distracting for the concubines to be with the children. Would you mind if we took a rest at Yuta's house first?　I would be glad to have some tea or other refreshments."

......I think Mr. Light's eyes lit up in anticipation when I said tea. This probably means that he is expecting tea cakes.

"Are you sure about lunch?"

"Yes, did the concubines say Paradise Restaurant?　We will have lunch at Ruby's cafeteria. Therefore, it would be better to wait until the children are settled.

I guess the name "Paradise Restaurant" is popular among the kings of spirits. I don't know who named it, but I doubt it will be changed anytime soon. Well, it's a simple and easy-to-understand name.

"I see. Let's go home for a short rest. A chef from the labyrinth city named Mr. Toruku has improved the dessert, so I'll serve it as a teacakes.

I thought about using the Gravity Stone tea room for the tea party, but since the little ones would probably be flying around paradise, I decided not to do it this time.

"Yes, well, sweetness is childish, but I promised you a taste before, didn't I? Take care of it."

Mr. Wright beats his chest in a "mmmmmmmm" kind of way. I'd like to see a sullen Mr. Light without serving him something just a little ...... sweet, but I'd probably end up feeling too guilty, so I'll hold off.

Light-sama is definitely cuter when she is looking calm and peaceful, even though she is filled with anticipation, than when she is sullen.

"Okay. Let's go to the house then. Mel. Mel, please work with Meral, Gina, Belle and the others to support the spirits who came to visit with us.

"Oh, yes, I understand."

Mel leaves with Meral, looking a little happy. It was a good decision to evacuate them since they were going to go to the house together. Though the tension has eased up a bit, it's still hard to have a tea party with the spirit kings. Well, I'll entertain the Spirit Kings as much as I can.
