Chapter 382 – Suite Room
After a while, the room was ready, so the four of us, Grande, Driada-san, and Gerda, who accompanied us as an attendant, went to the prepared room.
“This is a magnificent room. It’s as good as the rooms in the royal castle in Merinesburg, isn’t it?”
The room is a so-called suite room. It seems to be connected to several bedrooms from the spacious living room.
“Umu, I see. Kosuke, I think I’d like to sleep there.”
“Yes, yes.”
Grande points to a pile of pillows in a sunny spot near the window. Grande prefers this kind of bed to a real bed because the wings on her back and the tail at her waist get in the way.
“The master bedroom seems to be this room.”
Gerda’s voice checking the room caught my attention, and I went to check the room and found a bedroom with a very large and magnificent bed. It was big enough to sleep three adults. How on earth did they get it into this room? Did they assemble it here?
“Hmm? What about this door?”
I found a door discreetly placed in the corner of the bedroom. It’s not a closet… When I opened it, I found three ordinary beds in a row. The decor is a bit plain, but it’s a normal bedroom.
“Why is there a door in the master bedroom that connects to the other bedrooms?”
“It’s a connecting room. It’s a place for servants and guards to wait.”
“I see. Is the door of this room… connected to the hallway?”
“Yes, it appears so.”
Looking at the other rooms connected from the suite, there was another room almost the same design as the master bedroom I had just seen and another twin room that seemed to be one or two levels down. The other master bedroom also seemed to have a connecting room.
“I think six of the maids will be in the connecting rooms on either side, two in the twin room, and the master bedroom will be used by me, Driada-san, and Isla, right?”
“Kosuke-kun. You’re using the ‘san’ suffix again, aren’t you?”
“Mm… It’s hard for me to get used to.”
Driada-san has a strong older sister vibe from the beginning. It’s not easy to change the way you address her. It took me a while to call Amalie, too. Well, let’s wait patiently.
“I’m fine here. You can sleep with Kosuke.”
Saying this, Grande jumped into the pile of pillows and adjusted the position of the pillows to create an ideal sleeping place. The pattern of pillow placement is different every time and changes every day, so it is impossible for anyone else to create her ideal bed. It might be a good idea to use it as a random number generator or something. No, actually, there might be some sort of pattern. Is anyone going to do any research? I think not.
“Since the bed is so big. I think three people could sleep on that bed alone.”
With a bed that big, Grande would have no problem sleeping on it. Well, sometimes, when I sleep with Grande, her tail and her scaly arms and legs attack me. It’s actually quite dangerous, so a slime cover is essential when sleeping together.
“By the way, will the three of you be sharing the two master bedrooms?”
“That’s how it’s going to be. Well, it’s a tricky situation for me to say who’s sleeping with me in the master bedroom, so…”
“I see… will Isla be in charge this time?”
“That would be good.”
Isla is one of the women who has been in a relationship with me almost from the beginning.
“Isla, this is Kosuke. The maids and our rooms are secured. The other staff quarters are also secured. However, we have decided that half of the magic rifle squad, half of the Harpy bomb squad, and some members of the R&D department will remain on the ship to maintain the ship and provide security, so please select the personnel who will remain on the ship. During their stay, they will rotate between the ship and their quarters. All civilian personnel will be assigned quarters here.”
“Hmm, okay. I’ll let Ted and Darko know.”
“Do that. Anything from your end?”
“Nothing. All good.”
“All right. I’ll see you later. I’ll leave the comm set up in my room, so call me if you hear anything.”
“Hmm, okay.”
After ending the call, I set up the golem communicator in the living room of the suite and looked around the room. Let’s get our stuff out first.
“When you’re done here, Gerda, you’ll be in charge of the maid corps. What about the food preparation on the ship’s side…”
“I think it is normal for the host to prepare the food in such a case. I’ll ask the people at the castle later.”
Gerda smiled as she said this. It’s a relief to see Gerda smile.
“So… what else should we do?”
“Once we get our personal belongings out, we just have to take our time. At a time like this, the leader of the group should just take it easy. It is the superior’s job to be calm and reassure the subordinates.”
“Is that so? I don’t feel comfortable.”
Is that called being poor? I do not feel comfortable with the idea that I can rest while others are working. I understand that there are many problems when a person in charge does everything because it is faster for him to do it himself.
“Kosuke-sama, when you finish sorting the luggage, will you let me use the communicator?”
“Oh, yes. Use it as you like.”
And so, in the end, Driada-san―Driada urged me to spend time in the living room of the suite, drinking tea that Gerda made with Driada in a restless mood and preparing snacks for Grande, who was fussy about her hunger and feeding her.
