155 Lesson 3: Long time no material collection ①

"Please. Permission, please!

Right now, I was asking for a dungeon toward Bell.

There's a place I'll never be without permission from Bell...

"No! Whatever they say, I'll never give you permission!

I knew it would be so easy to forgive me.

But I'm never gonna give up either.

"Do something there! You're right, please."

I asked for it as I rubbed my head against the ground.

I want to go anyway!

"Not if I say no! You promised you wouldn't go to the Devil's Forest until you were grown up."

Yes, I want to go to the Devil's Forest.

I want to go, but I promised not to go with Bell, so I'm trying to get forgiveness to break it.

Well, negotiations are pretty hard to navigate.

"Oh yes... uh... the material is missing more... especially the larger demon stone..."

The demon stones I collected in the Demon Forest were all used to build the walls, so I don't have the demon stones I need to build the school.

We're still going to need the Demon Stone... but we can't make good things if we keep doing this!

"I just heard that. But no!

Kuh, shit. How do I......

"Well, could you do something about it? From now on, it will be absolutely necessary to win the war. You don't want me to die in the war, either, do you?

Yes, this is for war.

Never, you need a demon stone because you want to demonize a school hobbyistically, right?

"Oh, that's..."

Oh, the fierce momentum that Bell will never forgive until just now has weakened!

This is your chance.

"Right? So good, right? 'Cause this isn't going to die either."

I looked up and hit the bell.

"Uh..."! I was about to be tortured by a dangerous flush. "

For a moment, he was about to forgive me, but Bell hastily shook his neck to the side to return to the mode he'd never forgive until just now.

Oh, how can you forgive me?

"Eh - can't you?

"You can't have anything that doesn't work! In order not to die in the war, if you die in the Devil's Forest, isn't it the end of the fall!

Damn... you're too honest to say anything back.

Think. Whatever, give me a plan that Bell might forgive.

"Well then... how about Belle come with us? Because I promise I'll be home as soon as Bell decides it's dangerous!

Aren't you glad you came up with that?

Bell's level is fine now...... I don't think so, but I'll just have to take him down in a flash and reassure him there.

"Wow, me too!? Is it okay if I go to the Devil's Forest?

"Also, of course I'm fine. Conversely, if Bell's in danger range, you're okay to go, right?

I told you, so I can't help it, but are you sure you're okay?

Well, if it doesn't work, should I run away with the transfer as soon as possible?

"You're really safe, aren't you? I'd be mad if you were lying, wouldn't I?

Ugh, it shouldn't be a lie...... no, it might be a little dangerous......

"Well, he said it was okay. Right? So let's go. It's been a while since Belle and I had an adventure together."

"Just the two of us...... ok. Well, then, let's give you permission. But please keep your word that I'll be home as soon as you decide I'm in danger, okay?

Heh heh, that last sweetness worked.

Good thing I managed to mislead you.

"Of course! I'm looking forward to tomorrow."

"Already...... So, since tomorrow morning?

Yeah, because I'm going on a day trip.

"Right. Will you wake me up tomorrow morning?

"Hehe ♪ I came up with a good thing. I won't wake Master Leo tomorrow."

What do you mean?

"Huh!?"

"If you fell asleep, it means you didn't have plans for tomorrow."

Oh, shit! You had such a hand!

"Oh, no."

How many years do you think you haven't been alone?

I can't believe I woke up alone...

"Hehe, this is a punishment for breaking a promise you made to me. The truth is, it didn't work until I was an adult, so it's natural for me to be harassed like this."

"Wow, I get it..."

Can I wake up tomorrow?

I don't think I can.

The Next Day

(Please wake up. Please wake up. Please wake up. Wake up! Wake up!

"Ugh, wow!

When I jumped out with a hell of a loud scream, there was nobody around.

However, it caught my eye that there was a clock near the pillow that I used to build in a dungeon.

"Hey, what, are you awake... I knew I didn't want to use this wake-up call..."

Something sounds like cancer directly in the forehead, about five times more disgusting than a normal wake-up call.

"Well, I could get up on schedule, okay? Well, then, I'll get ready. Oh, speaking of which, is Bell awake? Usually, it's time to stay awake..."

On second thought, you forgot to tell him when to wake up.

I forgot about it because I was filled with my head with what happened to me.

Worried about what I would do, I just dressed and tried to get out of my room.

"Uh-huh. Looks like nobody's awake after all. I can't help it. Why don't we head over to Bell's room..."

There was no sign of anyone awake, and I walked down the hallway where the golem of security was just wandering off to Bell's room.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time you've entered Bell's room, including the dorm room, the imperial mansion."

I tried to knock while I said that.

Concon

"Belle. Are you awake?

I'll try to call the bell in front of the door, but it's not responding at all.

Yeah, you're sleeping on this...

"I can't help it. I'm sorry to bother you."

You may get mad at me later for going in on your own, but because I got up early in the morning, it's a waste of time waiting until Bell wakes up!

So when I went inside ready to be pissed off, I heard Suyasuya and sleeping from the bed in the corner of the room.

"Oh, I knew you were asleep. You have a lovely sleeping face ~"

I proceeded to the side of the bed and checked the Lord of Sleeping and he was a proper adorable bell.

"All right, do you want to wake me up? Still, Bell's room is tidy and... hmm?

As per my serious personality, I guess Bell's room is tidy with no extras - and when I tried to say it, I looked at the pictures on the walls and the objects placed on the shelves.

This is definitely the guy I should have seen.

"It's my... figure, isn't it? Besides, this is my picture. When did you take this?

You're scared of boulders for having so many of my figures on the shelves.

Probably got something Elsie made out of her creative magic practice, but this scares me.

And then there are the pictures that are embellished in the frame... this, when dorm life was just beginning, Bell cried and I'm just comforted.

This too, Elsie would be the killer... but that guy, how long have you been asking his master for a camera?

I can't see Elsie anymore, and it hasn't been that far, has it?

"There's something scary about me."

There are other clothes on shelves and desks that I no longer wear... no, I haven't seen anything.

"Yeah, do you want to wake up the bell by deciding you didn't see anything"

I slipped away from my shelves and desk and went back to the side of the bed.

"Belle, wake up."

"Yeah...... Master Leo? Hehe. I smell like Leo ~"

When I shook my body as I called my name, Bell clinging to me with a voice I didn't know if I was awake or not.

"Oh, hey! Wait! He's chewing! Because he's chewing on me!

You're definitely falling asleep with this! Oh, my dog's teeth are so pricked and it hurts!

I sleep with you occasionally, but you weren't such a bad sleeper!?

Minutes Later

"Ugh, I'm finally free..."

In front of Bell's room, I waited until just now for Bell to finish dressing as he healed his shoulder with holy magic that had his teeth stabbed.

No...... it was hard for Belle to wake me up.

So, when I thought I woke up, Bell gave me a great deal of momentum to get out there.

"Okay, it's healed. No way, with such eyes..."

I didn't expect to get hurt before I went to the Devil's Forest.

"I deserve it. What are you thinking of sneaking into the sleeping girl's room!?

A grumpy bell came out of the room as I was checking my scratched shoulder.

After all, it seemed like it didn't taste good to go into the room on your own.

"Yes, because..."

Yeah, I can't think of any excuses.

"Because neither is this! More than that...... did you look in the room or something?

Yeah, this is a bad guy if you say you saw it.

Mr. Bell, my eyes are so scary.

"In the room? Is something wrong? It was dark and I couldn't see anything."

This is the best act I've ever done.

"Yes, no. If you haven't seen it, fine. You really haven't seen it, have you?

"Ugh, yeah."

Beh, Mr. Bell, your face is close.

"Especially under the bed"

"Beh, under the bed?

Did something happen under the bed too!? You mean, there was something hidden that sucked worse under the bed than shelves and desks!?

"Did something happen to your face, under your bed, too? It says... After all, have you seen anything else?

Ah! It's so shocking, it's on my face!

... Yeah, let's reopen this.

"No, I haven't seen anything, and I don't remember anything"

Yes, the only thing I remember is Bell's sleeping face.

"Yeah...... ok. Let us forgive you for that this time."

Apparently, 'I didn't see' means he'll hit me in the hand.

Well, Belle, it would be embarrassing to see that one too...

Whoa, I didn't see anything.

And then it sounded bossy, "Good. I haven't been seen. If they had peeked under the bed, they would have imprisoned me, Master Leo, somewhere." Let's also erase that from memory.
