Chapter 78 – Rest (3)
Thanks to Sati, I was able to safely buy all the things Hoaran told me to buy.
Whether it was Mandragora or Hundred-Year Hasuo, they were sold separately at the place that sells elixirs, so it was fortunate that I would have been quite lost if I didn’t have Sati.
It’s a bit surprising that a small local supermarket sells something like this, even though it’s a low-level elixir.
In the case of low-level elixirs with ambiguous effects, I decided to just call it a day because it was a world where farming had become easier due to the mana concentration being almost oversaturated.
Anyway, after I finished shopping, I spoke to Sati, who didn’t look very good, probably because she still couldn’t digest the rice I ate earlier.
“I bought everything thanks to you, thank you.”
“No, it’s like this… By the way, brother.”
“Ok?”
Sati said, looking up at me.
“Really, nothing bad happened, right?”
Seeing Sati asking that question while looking at me with concern, I chuckled and placed my hand on her head.
“Tsk…”
“Don’t worry about me, take care of yourself. Don’t go around starving. “Only then will you repay your debt.”
After saying that, Sati blushed and muttered.
“I’m paying it back, really… When I get my paycheck this time… No, not this month, but next month…”
“Yes, because I understand. “Work hard and pay it back.”
I stroked Sati’s hair as if tousling it.
“Really… Your hair is all messed up…”
As she said that, she was ruffling Sati’s hair, who did not reject my hand.
“Wow,” A vibrating sound came from her pocket.
“Oh, wait a minute.”
I removed Sati’s hand from her head and took her smartphone out of her pocket. And when I took a quick look to see who the call was from, it was Aileya.
“Aile?”
I thought it was Lilith or something like Hoaran, but I was a little surprised because it was a call from an unexpected person.
Unlike usual, it wasn’t a text message but a phone call.
After thinking about it for a moment, I decided to just take it.
“Hello?”
-Oh, hello~? Are you on the phone right now?
Aileya’s voice.
I spoke to the voice that seemed to be slightly hesitant and asked that question.
“Yes, it is possible. “What’s going on?”
– Well… I’m just reading the text message because I’m at work. You haven’t come out lately, right~? In the text message, you said you’ve been sick for a while, but I wanted to ask if you’re feeling better… Sorry, was that too vague…?
I said this to Eileya, who asked that question in a voice that seemed to be growing more and more timid as she spoke.
“No… Well, I would even call it foolish… Anyway, thank you for your concern. “I’m all better now and I’m fine.”
To be honest, I’ve never been sick, but since I texted that I was sick and took a break, I decided to answer that way.
At my words, a sound that sounded like a sigh was heard over the phone.
-I’m glad to hear that… Ah, I heard it’s coming out tomorrow, but has it already received a nomination?
“No, not yet.”
-Then…
I thought for a moment when Eileya asked if I could ask for a favor tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
“Sister, isn’t it still too far before estrus comes?”
Aileya’s estrus season ended a while ago, so she should be fine for a while. Since the estrus period usually lasts for about 2 to 3 days a month, it was quite easy to calculate the customers’ estrus cycle.
Anyway, I roughly calculated that Aileya’s next estrus period would be approximately 3 or 4 weeks later.
So, when I asked that question, Aileya answered what I said.
-No, it’s not necessarily because of that… Do you dislike it…?
There was nothing to say no to.
To be honest, Aileya, at first, I didn’t see her with colored glasses because of Lilith, but she wasn’t as bad a person as I thought. Rather, he was a good customer who had a lot of money and didn’t do anything special. Moreover, since I was planning on going to work tomorrow anyway, it was okay to just assume that I had been nominated in advance.
There is no rule that says you have to use the dispenser only during estrus.
“No, it’s not that I don’t like it. Yes, then I will assume that is the case.”
While we were talking about things like the time and place to meet tomorrow, Aileya said something to me.
-Oh, if it’s okay, how about making the promise you made last time this time?
I paused when I heard Aileya say that.
That’s because Aileya’s words were completely unheard of.
The promise you made last time?
What was that?
-Well, we were supposed to have dinner together…? What I said I would buy for you… You probably forgot…?
“Ah, ah, that?”
Now that I think about it, it seemed like I had made that promise.
I completely forgot about it.
Well, there was nothing I could do because I didn’t have the presence of mind to keep such things in my head at the time.
I was just thinking about how to relieve Lilith’s anger over losing contact.
Evening, evening…
Free food was welcome, but it was a bit difficult to promise something like that to Aileya right now.
“No, dinner is a bit… Sorry, but I guess I’ll have to wait and see then.”
I thought I should at least talk to Lilith or Hoaran about having dinner outside, so I said that, and Aileya, who was silent for a moment, spoke to me.
-Yeah, really? Still, it’s okay to see you tomorrow, right?
“Yes, that’s okay.”
-Okay, see you tomorrow then…
Aileya said that in a somewhat despondent voice.
“Okay, see you tomorrow.”
After answering Aileya, I ended the call.
And as I was putting my smartphone back in my pocket, I saw Sati staring at me.
“What?”
When I asked Sati, I saw her slightly biting her lip at my words.
Then Sati wiggled his fingers and said to me.
“…Who’s calling?”
Who is calling?
“You know what, what are you going to do?”
“No, just… Well…”
Sati hesitates at my words.
Soon, seeing Sati lowering her head, he placed his hand on Sati’s head again. Then he ruffled Sati’s hair and said,
“Don’t worry about it because it’s just a call from a friend of mine who knows business.”
“If it’s work… The dispenser side?”
“Then what else is there besides that?”
Seeing Sati asking the obvious, I shrugged my shoulders.
“Anyway, I’m going to leave now, so you can work hard too.”
“Ah… Yes.”
“Then I’m going. “Goodbye.”
“Yeah… Goodbye, brother.”
Sati said that while covering my messy hair with her hand.
I was worried for no reason about Sati, who seemed to have an even worse expression than before.
Did you pretend to eat too much earlier?
I should have eaten a little bit together, I thought, and headed home.
On my way home with both hands full of groceries, I saw Hoa-ran outside, as if he had come to meet me.
Just as I discovered Hoaran, Hoaran must have discovered me as well. Hoaran approached me at a fast pace and said to me.
“It’s a little late, did anything happen?”
“Yes, I met a guy I knew for a while. What about Lilith’s mother?”
“He hasn’t returned yet.”
Well, it wasn’t time for Lilith to leave work already.
As I was thinking about coming back in the evening, I saw a doll jumping out of my pocket and being hugged by Hoa-ran.
“Jump,” The doll hugged as if buried in Hoa-ran’s breast opened its mouth.
“Hoa.”
“Hmm? “What happened?”
“Hoa, hoa…!”
“Hmm…”
What?
Hoa, Hoa, I was looking at the doll that seemed to be saying something and Hoa-ran who was nodding to what the doll said, when Hoa-ran suddenly spoke to me.
“It looks like you became friends with that satyr kid from last time. “It’s Hanzo.”
“Yes?”
No.
I was wondering what on earth he was doing now, but it seemed like he was telling Hoa-ran about what happened when he met Sati earlier.
It was more convenient than I thought, and it looked cute, so I was going to ask Hoa-ran how to make something like that, but I didn’t know he would hit me in the head like this.
No, it’s not the back of the head…?
I didn’t do anything particularly strange.
Since he was Hoaran’s alter ego and doll, there was no need to say that he had stabbed me in the back or anything.
Still, I bought a married fox, but it was a bit embarrassing.
I didn’t do anything wrong, but the thought of Hoa-ran finding out what I did made me feel uncomfortable.
As I was looking at Hoaran with some nervousness, Hoaran smiled brightly and said to me.
“Forgiving others is a difficult task, but Hanzo, you have done that difficult task. Indeed, he is the original woman’s son.”
“Oh, well… Yes…”
Lilith for forgave Sati and called me such a brat and all, and Hoaran praised me, saying I did a good job.
Is it because their personalities are so different that they are bickering like that?
I couldn’t figure out how Lilith and Hoaran, who are complete opposites in many ways, became friends.
“It’s cold. Now, let’s go in.”
Hoa-ran said that and gave me half of what I bought.
If it had been Lilith, I would have just carried the bag containing the beer…
Is this Mamang?
Then what is Lilith…?
No, there was no need to compare the two.
Lilith was also good to me in her own way.
Rather than comparing, I decided to think that each had different advantages.
The release…
He also gave me Ssingsingi. Unlike Hoaran, he was also a powerful person who held a position in an organization under the jurisdiction of the world government.
By the way…
Something has been bothering me since a while ago, but I’m not sure what it is.
An uneasy feeling, like I missed something.
I wondered if there was something I didn’t buy, but after checking it several times, I found out that wasn’t the case.
“Why are you doing that? “Is there something you’re worried about?”
I shook my head when Hoaran asked me, looking at me as if I was asking what was wrong.
“No, it’s nothing.”
Well, if it was something important, it would come to mind right away. If you don’t do that, it won’t be a big deal.
With that thought in mind, I followed Hoaran.
“You’re a little late.”
“I see.”
I checked the time and it was now almost seven o’clock.
Even when she went to work with me, Lilith got off work before me and was lounging around at home, so she didn’t come home even though she normally would have come home a long time ago.
“Should I call to see when you’ll be here?”
“That would be a good idea. “The meal has already been prepared, so it wouldn’t be a good idea to just wait.”
I was about to call Lilith after nodding to Hoaran’s words.
A text message came saying, “Wow.”
-It will arrive soon, so wait.
They say that even tigers will come if you tell them to, and as they were talking about Lilith, it was a text message from Lilith.
“Oh, they say they’ll be here soon.”
“Is that so? “Then I guess I’ll have to warm up the food again.”
“Can I help you?”
“No, there is no particular need for that. “All you have to do is simply warm it up.”
“Ugh,” Said Hoa-ran and went to prepare dinner.
I was quiet too, so when Lilith came, I was setting the table to prepare for dinner as soon as I heard the sound of the door opening.
“…What? Did you really eat without me? “You sent me a text too?”
“No, I was just preparing dinner after seeing the text message. Anyway, have you been there?”
When I answered that to Lilith, who was frowning when she saw me holding the prize, Lilith said that’s fine and threw something at me.
“Huh?”
I threw it away and when I received it, it was a golden bracelet.
“What is this again?”
“The new body checker, although it is a prototype. Anyway, change your body checker to that from now on.”
“The new one?”
“Yes, different from the previous one… Ah, that’s enough. “We’ll talk about this later. I’m hungry. How about food?”
“It will be ready soon, so just wait.”
When Hoaran said that in the kitchen, Lilith sighed and sat down next to me.
“No, why don’t you sit down right away. “Help me set the table or something.”
“Noisy. “It’s hard to come to work.”
“No.”
I, who was suffering from his body aches and muscle pain, went grocery shopping and did everything else.
Well, that’s it.
It was a luxury to ask anything from Lilith, who had the same expression on her face, saying, “I’m not going to do anything anymore.”
After calmly setting the table by myself, Hoa-ran brought some food.
While I was admiring the table that had become abundant thanks to the grocery shopping, Lilith spoke.
“Uh… Mushroom casserole? “Is there any meat?”
“I bought it. Should I eat it like shabu shabu? It works, right? “Hoaran maman.”
“Nothing can’t be done. However, in order to do that, I have to set aside what belongs to her.”
“Oh, you don’t like meat?”
“It’s not that I don’t like it, but I don’t particularly feel like it. “Then, let me bring a pot to make the stew.”
Hoa-ran says that and gets up again.
Hoa-ran doesn’t like meat very much.
In this respect, it is also different from Lilith.
How did you two really become friends?
“What about beer? Doesn’t exist?”
“I bought that too.”
“Young…”
At my words, Lilith came and put her arm around my shoulder.
Thanks to this, my whole body ached.
“Oh, kinda…”
“So? “Did you buy my panties?”
“Ah.”
Was this why I had been feeling uneasy ever since?
Lilith looked at me sheepishly and opened her mouth.
“Could it be that you didn’t buy it?”
“No, that’s it. “I don’t have time for that.”
“So, you’re saying you didn’t buy it?”
My whole body screamed as Lilith hugged me even more tightly.
Normally, I would have enjoyed the feel of Lilith’s breasts touching my body, but I had no time to do so because my body was speechless.
I could hear the crunching, crackling, and physically screaming sounds coming from the joints of my body, but I couldn’t afford to enjoy it.
“…Enough with the jokes, get some food, Lilith.”
Fortunately, Hoa-ran, who came with a small pot to eat the hotpot, stopped Lilith.
“Just try not to buy it tomorrow.”
I thought about Lilith saying that as she released me in response to Hoaran’s words.
The muscle pain will subside tomorrow anyway, so if that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to just not buy it?
“I thought it was because I was going to beat you up if you didn’t buy it tomorrow.”
While I was thinking that, Lilith said that to me.
“Ah.”
With Lilith’s words like that, I decided not to forget and buy it tomorrow.
