Chapter 1906: Intermission: At the End of a Long Journey - Part 2

After a certain amount of time had passed, and at the time when Canaris, who was sobbing like a child, finally calmed down, Nebula prepared a table and chairs, told her to take a seat, and began preparing tea.

The time flow of this phase-shifted other space, so it was decided it wouldn't be a problem for them to spend a leisurely time.

[Even so, what's with that face?]

[Tahaa~~ Well, it worked for the first time in a really long time earlier, but it instantly returned to its not working state. It might be that my facial muscles have developed a habit of slacking off.]

[Fumu, well, if you yourself don't mind it, then there's no problem. Here's a cup of tea made from the tea leaves I made.]

[My oh my, this is quite awe-inspiring. The very fact that I'm having Nebula-sama make tea for me is at the pinnacle of awe-inspiringness......]

[Since this Absolute me is better at brewing tea than you are, it's only natural that I should brew it for us, and there's no such thing as disrespect in that. What would be disrespectful is you being too awe-inspired that you couldn't taste my tea.]

[Tahaa~~ How should I say this...... That's just like Nebula-sama...... Ahh, it's so delicious...... I feel like I'm going to cry again.]

Canaris had also served for a long time until Nebula's end, so she has a good understanding of Nebula's personality. Because she believes it's natural for a superior to take care of subordinates, considering her personality, it's understandable that Nebula herself would brew tea in such a setting.

Well, she does feel ashamed sitting there and letting her revered master, whom she hasn'e seen in a while, make her tea......

[Are the others in good health?]

[Yes! We weren't convinced that anyone other than Nebula-sama could be at the top of our group, so in the end, each of us just went wherever we pleased, but we still keep in touch from time to time. I think everyone will be overjoyed to hear that Nebula-sama is back!]

[It's alright for them to be happy, but if they come to this world in droves, they will just cause trouble for Milord and the others. I'm aware that my life had already been brought to an end and this would be my second one, and I do like my current life to a certain extent, so I have no desire to reign as I did before.]

[......I have a favor to ask Nebula-sama!]

[Unn? Speak.]

[I will not interfere with Nebula-sama's present life! I will be courteous to Shallow Vernal and ask for permission! I will definitely adapt to the common sense of this world! So please...... Allow me to serve by Nebula-sama's side again!]

[......Fumu.]

It's a truly heartfelt wish, and upon hearing it, Nebula seemed to be pondering about it a bit.

[......I don't mind, but there are conditions...... or rather, there are some things you will have to adapt to. As I said before, I recognize that my current situation is a new life, and with it a change in status and other aspects. If you are to serve by my side, you will need to become accustomed to these changes.]

[Yes! I will show you that I can accomplish anything, no matter the difficulty!!!]

[I see, well then...... In this world, you are to address me as "Nebula" without the honorifics, or you either opt for "-chan" or "-san". You are also not to humble yourself like that, treating me frankly. And as I will also call you with "-san" and "speak to you in a polite tone", you must adapt to it without feeling uncomfortable at all.]

[..................Ahh~~ Umm...... Please wait. I was too awe-inspired that I feel like throwing up...... The extreme loyalty to Nebula-sama within me just......]

Seeing Canaris' enthusiasm from a moment ago and her face, still as expressionless as ever, turning pale, Nebula thought "Seems like this is going to take some time" to herself.

<Afterword>

? ? ? : [It seems like the story will be returning to the party next chapter huh.]

Serious-senpai : [Eh? Umm, seriousness...... happened? While I was gone...... again?]
