Chapter 220.5: —Side Dianeia— Girls’ Lazy Nighttime Chat

Dianeia sat in the cottage drinking tea and chatting with Sakura.

「I heard that you worked with Athena today. I have to thank you Sakura-dono.」

「No no, it was just something I did while cooking. It wasn’t anything much Dianeia-san. It’s just some simple seasoning and knife skills.」

「Uumu, it might be some simple skills for you Sakura-dono, but they’re considerably incredible to us.」

Just watching from the side you could see Sakura’s extreme proficiency with housework.

It was to the degree that Dianeia wished she could learn from her.

「More than that we’re grateful that you let us use a place like this.」

「Of course, in the first place this was to thank you and Daichi-dono so don’t worry about it. Plus I had been wanting to invite you here some day.」

「Fufu, then I’ll simply accept it with gratitude.」

Sakura said with a small laugh.

At that expression Dianeia couldn’t help but think…

…..somehow she was strangely nervous.

She had walked with Sakura and was in a calm environment. It had been a while since they had spoken, so Dianeia was being conservative with her words.

It wasn’t to the degree of Daichi, but Sakura had a suitably enormous amount of magic power.

She had become used to strong magic thanks to her interactions with the Dragon Kings, but as expected Sakura was in a different category altogether.

…..she was the one who gave off the most pressure after Daichi-dono.

Thanks to the gentle expression on her face Dianeia could somehow face her with some semblance of calm.

Feeling thankful for that at least, Dianeia continued to speak.

「Come to think of it Daichi-dono just grabbed his fishing rod and net and headed back to the cottage quickly, is he getting ready for something? Hesty-dono followed him too…」

「Yes, he’s going to bed early to go fishing tomorrow morning. I think Hesty is simply sleepy.」

「I see, dawn fishing huh? Daichi-dono has some stamina…..」

Though he was getting enough sleep he had been doing activities all day for the past two days. Even after that he still had the energy to plan for fishing early in the morning.

What’s more, most of the things you could catch in this lake were either powerful or very large.

It would be strange to consider it as normal fishing with those creatures as opponents.

「If I get up early enough maybe I can participate. If Daichi-dono agrees that is…」

「I wonder. I think that Master wants to know more about the fish in this area so it might be helpful. Especially since there are plenty of huge creatures in this lake.」

「In the past they never used to get this big…..」

Never before had there been such huge creatures appearing in this lake.

Since she was a child the only thing special about this lake was that it was prohibited to go past a certain point. Other than that it had been normal.

….thinking about it now that limit had probably been due to Katarakta’s influence.

「——oh oops. I got a bit off topic. What will you be doing Sakura?」

「I was thinking that I would stay by his side as he fishes like always. Just like this morning I’ll make breakfast for when he takes a break. Normally I’d spend my time watching Master’s sleeping face, but Hesty-chan is there right now. If I go now I’ll just end up waking them.」

Sakura said and looked over at the cottage that Daichi was sleeping in.

The lights had already been extinguished and you couldn’t see inside.

It seemed as if they were already asleep.

「Fumu…….then I’d like to take Daichi-dono’s example and be early to bed early to rise….but would you like to drink a bit more Sakura-dono? I’d like to talk to you a bit more about Daichi-dono’s everyday life.」

「Fufu, that’s fine with me. I can’t speak about Master’s private matters, but normal things are fine. He is my prided Master after all.」

Dianeia and Sakura enjoyed their chat for a while longer.
