Chapter 842 – Ep.840 Demon Continent
He thought he must have spent quite a long time in the bathhouse, but for some reason he was still busy organizing his luggage outside.
‘No, it’s not like we’re going on a picnic somewhere…’ …’
When I allowed them to put it in their personal luggage instead of the Mimic case, I couldn’t help but sigh at the sight of them trying to pack their luggage as much as possible into the backpack or bundle they didn’t know where they got it, which had been filtered out by Rita.
Rita, who was watching this, was also glaring at the three people packing their personal luggage with a very disapproving gaze, but since I gave permission, she did not touch me directly and just glared at me.
“Rita.”
[ Yes. Master. ]
She skillfully adjusts her expression and turns around.
“I’ll ask you to prepare dinner. And could you please find a horse or horse that can take care of my hair and bring it to me?”
[I will prepare it soon. ]
Rita bowed with all her courtesy as usual and then turned to leave.
I watched her back for a moment and then left her body comfortably on the sofa.
Then he gestured to the twins and Agnes, who were quietly sitting on their bed and looking at them.
The twins smiled brightly and ran to each other, clinging to each other side to side, while Agnes calmly walked over and stood behind them.
We’ve been together for a month, but she’s still reluctant to make contact.
Of course, now that I knew the reason, whenever I kept my distance from her like I did now, she actually came across as cute to me.
“Hehe~”
“Hi-Hi…”
When I caressed the cheeks of the twins who were clinging to each other in the same way, they both smiled and smiled in a similar yet individual way.
“Are you really going to follow me?”
“Ta, follow me!!”
“I-I’ll try not to be a burden…”
“It’s not a burden, it’s just that I’m worried.”
They seemed to follow me no matter what unless I forced them to stay here, so I lightly pinched the cheeks of the two people I was stroking.
“Okay. “I followed you from the border forest, and now how can I leave you behind?”
“Ubuuu~”
“Ugh…”
I chuckled at the two of them pretending to be in pain, even though it wasn’t, and naturally climbing on my thighs. I let go of the cheek I was holding and tilted my head back.
“If anything happens, take care of the twins first, not me.”
“All right.”
‘It’s amazing.’
Normally, you would only be able to see the chin or the sharp bridge of the nose, but our companions had such outstanding chests that when they tilted their heads back like this, their underchests, which made you want to peek out and smell them, filled your field of vision.
I wish I could spend some time biting or tickling the twins’ soft cheeks that are on my thighs.
Rita and the monks brought a much more plentiful and diverse variety of dishes than usual and laid them out on the table.
Still, we must have been hungry again, and when the fragrant smell began to spread, we stopped packing and gathered on the sofa, pressing our butts together.
“Mr. Smith. This!”
“Hey, this is delicious too.”
Originally, Genoa and Ruel were serving dinner, but the twins, who happened to come out and joke around and sit on their thighs, helped them eat dinner instead.
“Now, to help you digest the food, take whatever you want to take with you.”
“Yes~”
After cleaning all the dishes, I let the twins out of my arms and Agnes got up and followed them.
The other three headed back to their original seats to pack their belongings, and I quietly asked Rita, who was standing behind me.
“What about the head?”
[ Come this way. ]
When I followed Rita out of the bedroom, there was a chair in the lobby where all her furniture had been removed.
Slurp.
Before she could open her mouth to say anything, a pair of scissors and a comb fell from Rita’s wide sleeve and were held in her hand.
“Do it yourself?”
[I have a bit of a knack for it. ]
“Okay?”
If it had been anyone else, I would have been suspicious, but since the person I was dealing with was Rita, I sat down with peace of mind.
“Just trim it short overall.”
[ All right. ]
Sigh.
I started brushing and closed my eyes for a moment.
If it had been really serious, he would have just left it alone, but every time he looked in the mirror and saw his forehead broken into pieces and exposed, his anger towards Mariel rose and he touched her countless times.
Well, even if that wasn’t the case, it was time to cut it…
[ It’s done. ]
“Already?”
I feel like I closed my eyes for just a moment, but it’s already over.
When I opened my eyes, Rita had moved to the front and was holding up the water mirror she had created with her magic to reflect my reflection.
“Oh…”
[Do you like it? ]
“If I ever need to touch her hair in the future, I’ll have to ask Rita.”
[ … Huh. Gladly. ]
Unable to hide my pride, I left Rita alone for a moment, the corner of her mouth twitching, and took a close look at my appearance in the mirror.
‘It’s really good.’
Before I came, Giena had sorted it out and it looked less messy, but after the bangs disappeared, the hair on the sides became frizzy and annoying.
But Rita showed off her skills by trimming her hair into very neat two blocks using only her scissors. In addition, her bangs, which were a mess and had fallen off like a bowl, were symmetrical and made very natural.
“Great job.”
[ No. I will clean up after myself and then go in. ]
Even if I were to clean up after myself, it was all my hair, so what was there to do?
I could just burn it.
But for some reason, I looked at Rita, who was tucking my hair that had fallen on the floor into her sleeve, for a moment and then turned around to look at her.
‘… Well, I won’t do anything strange.’
When I opened the bedroom door again, leaving Rita collecting my hair, I made eye contact with Genoa, who jumped up from his seat as if he had just finished tidying up.
“Uh…”
“Why?”
“Oh, no, uh… Uh, um…”
“… ?”
The guy who refused to sleep with me for a while, saying I looked tired, suddenly blushed and started rubbing his thigh.
‘No way…’
The only thing that changed from before I left the bedroom was my hair.
‘… ‘Okay then.’
On the other hand, I was touched because I thought he was still worried about me, but now I see that he just didn’t feel hot at all because of his broken bangs.
“Mr. Smith!!”
“Well, get along well.”
As if to prove it, the twins who were packing a very small bag with Agnes came hurriedly over to us, their cheeks turning red and their eyes sparkling.
… After all, men have red hair.
Of course, appearance is more important than that.
“Hmm! Well, I’m leaving tomorrow… Tonight… How is it?”
“Huh. I’m tired.”
“Shall I give you a massage? Huh?”
“No thanks?”
“Ah~!! “You’ve been patient for ten days!!”
Pushing away the clinging Genoa, she grabbed her twin’s hand instead.
Of course, Genoa doesn’t know how to give up, so she hugged my waist from behind and dragged me along, continuing to help me.
I felt bad about it and wanted to ignore it for the time being, but I could clearly see that if I did that, I would be grumbling and groaning the entire time I was moving.
Moreover, before I knew it, Ruel and the other two were looking this way, swallowing their saliva.
‘Anes… ?’
While I was doing this, I tried to subtly involve Agnes, who had been ignoring me for a while, but she, who had been standing next to her twin’s bed just a moment ago, had disappeared.
‘Well, you can’t force yourself to hug someone you don’t like.’
“Aye~”
“OMG…”
The twins who were holding her hands pinned them to her sides and threw them onto the bed.
And Genoa, who was holding her waist, released his hand and hugged her.
“You’re stubborn until today?”
“Okay then. “As expected, my master.”
“If you can’t speak… Ugh.”
I immediately hugged my neck and headed to her bed, massaging Genoa’s firm buttocks while gently shaking her legs.
**
“Now, drink it all up.”
“Master. “This too.”
“…”
I guess I was very satisfied with last night, so I woke up early in the morning, checked my luggage, and wandered around. When breakfast was ready, Genoa and Ruel snuggled up next to me and served me more carefully than usual.
It wasn’t inconvenient since I could fill my stomach without lifting a finger, but as their sincerity grew, the shameful feeling also grew.
[ Master. Mariel says she will be waiting in front of the castle gate. ]
“Let’s eat quickly and leave.”
You should never take the devil’s words at face value.
I’m sure she would wait patiently for us to come out at first, but perhaps because she had been having nightmares in the small room for so long, she couldn’t stand being bored for long.
You probably don’t think much of it for the first ten minutes or so.
But as soon as ten minutes pass, your eyebrows will start to curve a little wildly… I’m sure I’ll be very bothered by it for a while on the way to the system.
Because next to eating, the next thing she enjoyed was making fun of me.
Even though she knew that, Mariel’s ability to scratch people’s hearts was so great that it could almost be said to have reached the sky.
“No. Still, chew and swallow a little, right?”
“…”
Since it was a breakfast carefully prepared for the day the dreamers were leaving, I couldn’t bear to leave it, so I just shoved it into my mouth, chewed it roughly, and swallowed it.
“Whoa, everyone, please bring what you packed yesterday.”
I got up first and took out the Mimic case I had kept under the bed. And the women’s bags and bundles, which were bulging as if they were really packed, were pushed into Mimic’s mouth.
“He’s a really amazing guy.”
“Can’t I just go in there too?”
Genoa looks curiously at Mimic, who has swallowed her ridiculous amount of luggage, and Giselle wants to go inside Mimic with the swallowed luggage.
“You didn’t forget anything, right?”
[ Yes. I checked everything at dawn. ]
“Then let’s go out.”
Since Giselle hadn’t been like that for a day or two, she just ignored it and we took the stairs and she left the hall.
“It’s very quiet?”
[The master did not want to see me off. ]
She wanted to leave quietly as Rita said, so she told the demons through Rita that there was no need to come out and greet them separately.
So, walking along the quiet path as usual, we passed her inner gate and reached the outer gate, where Mariel, wearing the same traditional attire as Rita, waved her hand at us.
“You came earlier than I thought.”
“Anyway, who would be late to wait?”
“Guy. “It’s nice to see you full of energy in the morning.”
Goosebumps appeared on her forearms at that moment, but since she had no training starting today, she calmly calmed her heart and said to Rita:
“Please guide me──”
“For a moment.”
Marie Elle interrupted me, took one of her rolled-up pieces of fine parchment from her arms, and handed it to Rita.
“Let’s go along that route.”
[ … This is difficult. ]
Rita unfolded her parchment and shook her head.
[ If you follow these signs, it will take you two months longer than expected. ]
In response to Rita’s answer, I quickly checked the parchment in her hand.
‘Map?’
The picture, which was very similar to the map recorded in the archive, had red lines drawn on symbols indicating whether it was a city or a fortress.
That red line is probably the route Mariel suggested.
‘It’s not like going on a tour, it’s a city… ?’
“Mariel.”
“Why are you doing that?”
I asked, taking the map from Rita’s hand.
“I’m just asking, just in case, but you’re not stopping by to try specialties or dishes, right? “Is there another reason?”
“After all, you are my disciple. “I can’t believe you understand your teacher’s mind so well.”
“No, you crazy teacher… ?”
“Just tell me whether you are a bitch or you.”
“Then bitch… Evil?!”
I was caught off guard for a moment by the dizzy feeling rising from her shins, and Mariel quickly snatched the parchment from my hands and placed it back in Rita’s hands.
And she said to me, who was jumping up and down holding my shins.
“I will make sure you can cross the forest within a month, so don’t talk nonsense and let’s just keep going like this.”
[ … ]
Rita, caught between me and Mariel, waited for my answer, wondering what to do.
“Ha, you have to keep your promise?”
“Don’t worry.”
Nodding, ruffling her hair, Rita took the lead, placing the parchment in her arms. And she naturally smiled and whispered to the damn master next to me.
“If it takes two more months, you just have to move that much faster. “Why are you making such a fuss?”
“…”
I expected it, but it looks like the road home will be much more difficult than expected.
