CH 125.3

“You seem to be all right now… Oh, your half is back…”

As soon as the four of them walked away in a friendly manner, Aidle’s split body flew down to La Veil, still in her fairy form.

“After all, Cielo didn’t convert everyone to the ‘fairy religion’ on that spot, did she?”

“If you show such an impactful image with the appearance of a fairy and then do such a thing, the heads of everyone in the whole nation would boil, Lord…III.”

“The third…well, never mind. I’m going to disappear now, but shall I send La Veil over there before that? I think I can do that, since the main body has become a huge presence.”

“Oh, then I’ll have to ask you to take care of it.”

The half-body then touched La Veil and transferred her to Aidle’s main body using “spatial magic”. After confirming this, the half-body disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving nothing behind…

When La Veil arrived at the Forest of Sweets, she saw a huge slider while feeling a sweet aroma. Hinomoto came down with the “little girl” from there. La Veil was surprised to see Hinomoto smiling like never before, a big difference from a week ago.

“Another ridiculously peaceful place. The terrain far below is a wretched mess.”

“It’s all because Aidle felt Sacchan’s wish and built it.”

Then Arena approaches and rests her head on La Veil’s shoulder. Arena, who is in “S.A.T.” mode, seems to like doing this to La Veil for some reason. La Veil’s cheeks blush a little.

“I see…and you’re in a dream world with a little girl, aren’t you? How I envy you.”

“Shall we go too? The three of us were playing together earlier.”

“No, that’s okay.”

“Ah!”

“Oh?”

Then the little girl, Aidle, spotted La Veil and pointed at her. Hinomoto, caught up at the moment, saw La Veil who waved back, then Aidle came running toward her, her ahoge swaying around.

“La~~~Veil ～～～～♪ Apu.”

“Oops. You became little again, my Lord. I love you.”

“I’ve changed~~~♪”

“Mmm, precious.”

The little girl lifted her face from La Veil’s chest. La Veil caressed Aidle’s head, who was smiling like a sunflower, and rubbed her head against La Veil comfortably.

La Veil looked at Hinomoto, who was not wearing armor or a sword, but was dressed in simple clothes of this world, and smiled at her.

“You too, have changed your mood since the last time I saw you.”

“Thanks to that girl, I’ve been freed from the things I was entangled in. I’m now excited because I lost all of my adolescence to the ‘hero’.”

Hinomoto smiles as she says this, and for her, there is nothing to do now that every single reason to fight is gone. It had been several years since she had been freed from the collar of slavery.

Kuh~!

“…Nihehe, pon, pon, hungry~♪”

“Ah, it’s that time already. The sun was already setting.”

“Have you been playing so long you’ve lost track of time?”

“Yes~”

“Okay, let’s all have dinner together, Aidle, do you know how to cook?”

“Leave it to me…”

La Veil, with her shoulders on the floor, and Arena and Hinomoto on either side of her, holding her hands, boasted with her nose in the air, “Mmmm”, I’m so excited, I’m so excited right now! The three of us all laughed and said, “Yes,” and Aidle laughed with a look of genuine happiness on her face.

The four of them sang a song called “Sunset Sunset Sunset” as they cooked a meal at the house of sweets and sat around the table, tucking into a warm stew. Hinomoto cried a little during the warm meal, but everyone agreed to keep it a secret, which made her smile again.

“I want to sleep looking at the sky~♪”

“I guess Master likes to look at the stars the best. Then so be it.”

“Aidle is quite romantic, isn’t she?”

“That’s one of the best things about it.”

We pulled the futon from the hut onto the grass, and the four of us laid down side by side, with Aidle sleeping on top of La Veil, still holding hands from both sides.

We talked about trivial things until late into the night, feeling that the stars we saw that day were the most beautiful we had ever seen, thanks to the clear, cloudless skies.

“Lord, what meat is this?”

“I don’t know~♪”

“No, don’t say that with such a big smile…”

When I later asked, it turned out to be meat that was randomly taken out from ‘Storage’.
