ăNevertheless, it seems that General Clasus wants to celebrate our success so letâs chill out for the time being before moving to our next plan.ă
I spoke with a slightly indignant voice.
It seems that General Clasus wants to celebrate the matter of us freeing the people that were imprisoned in the labyrinth.
ăCelebration huh, sounds good. Having to eat the poor meals in the labyrinth made me miss the delicious meal out here.ă
Nao spoke as a thread of drool hung down from her mouth.
ăYou bet!! Now itâs time to take a breather after being locked down in that place for a long time!ă
Rino spoke with a strong tone.
ăYeah. We need to take a breather.ă
Reiji approved Naoâs suggestion too. Since many beauties would be coming to the celebration, his smiling face must be a result of imagining those scenes.
ăCelebration huh⊠Kuroki, who contributed the most, isnât even here thoughâŠă
Shirone spoke with a gloomy voice.
Surely, the one whoâd contributed the most this time around was him. And yet, that very same person wasnât even here to celebrate with us.
ăYeah. The one who really saved the people in the labyrinth is him, not me or Reiji. We really have to praise him.ă
I spoke while giving a sidelong glance towards Reiji.
Reiji was clearly displeased upon hearing that. But, he couldnât talk back and refute it either since he knew very well that we wouldâve literally been doomed if it werenât for Kurokiâs backup.
My mood suddenly improved a lot upon seeing Reijiâs vexed face.
I had yet to thank Kuroki for his help back in the Rox kingdom too. I felt the goodwill behind his actions that saved my life. I guess Iâm with Shirone in regards to wanting to save him too. Though Reiji and Sahoko might be against it, I think we should make him our comrade.
I wonder where he is and what heâs doing right nowâŠ
âDragon Priestess; Regena
ăWell then, please take care of us, Regena-san.ă
ăUhm, are you sure about this?ă
ăDonât worry, Tormalkis will help you in that regard.ă
ăPlease take care of me, Regena-sama.ă
The plump man besides her cupped his hands while bowing to me.
The mansion that we were using was previously his properly. But then, heâd fallen under suspicion of tricking the Hero since his wife, Atlan, whose whereabouts were currently unknown, was an Evil God.
But aside from that, he was only a normal human whoâd goten tricked by the Evil God. It seems that even he didnât know of Atlanâs whereabouts.
But, Kaya-sama wasnât so kind as to let him off scot-free. Sheâd seized his assets and turned them into Kyouka-samaâs property.
The mansion, which had become Kyouka-samaâs property as well, was currently being used as the Midou companyâs Ariadya branch. And just a moment ago, Kaya-sama had made a request for me to take care of Midou companyâs Ariadya branch.
ăIn addition, Iâll invite the people from Holy Republic Lenaria. You can rest assured with the girl who I trained personally, Regena-san.ă
Despite her words, I shook my head to show my refusal.
ăUhm⊠I think itâs impossible for someone like me to handle a trading company!!ă
And why me of all people? There should be many more competent people that would be better for this position.
ăItâs okay, Regena-san. Youâre someone who got Kuroki-sanâs recognition after all. Thatâs why I feel that thereâs no worries in entrusting this branch to you.ă
Kyouka-sama smiled as she said so.
For some reason, Kyouka-sama held my master(husband) in high regard. I feel like itâs a good thing to have more people that had a high evaluation of my master(husband). And her words had hit my sore spot.
How could I refuse when sheâd brought up my masterâs(husband) name?
ăYouâre qualified for this matter, Regena-san. I mean, you can use the Lizardmans for the transportation of goods via Quiche river. That will give you an upper hand against the other merchants who canât do the same thing. Youâll gain enormous profits from that for sure.ă
It seems that Kaya-samaâs expectations for me were completely different from Kyouka-sama.
Their gazes were fixed on me.
If possible, I wanted to escape from this place.
ăShall we test her idea⊠master(husband).ă
My masterâs(husband) appeared in my mind as I looked up to the sky.
The place I reunited with Kuna was close to the center of the mountain range.
Kuna quickly embraced me as soon as she saw my figure and looked up at me with moist eyes.
After not seeing her for a few days, I noticed that Kuna had become even more beautiful than before. And I was currently embracing such a beauty.
It was something that had never happened to me back in my original world.
I was almost brought to tears upon recalling those painful memories.
ăYup⊠sorry, Kuna. You mustâve been lonely when I wasnât there with you⊠You too, Glorious.ă
I gently caressed Gloriousâ head.
Glorious let out a spoiled growl when I caressed her head.
ăI missed you so much⊠Kuroki. Letâs go back togetherâŠă
I shook my head in response.
ăKuna, how about we take this chance to enjoy the Republic of Ariadya?ă
Kuna tilted her head, asking with a puzzled look on her face.
ăYeah, Iâll take you along for a date around the Republic of Ariadya.ă
Iâd done my research for dating spots within the Republic of Ariadya along with Rena. Plus, we could also go see the opera now.
ăKuna will follow you wherever you are, Kuroki.ă
Kuna smiled sweetly at me.
That smile was truly an angelic smile. I could finish three bowls of rice with this smile as a side dish. Naturally, a big bowl of rice.
I ended up letting out a strange laugh. As if that wasnât enough, it was even accompanied with drool.
ăIs something the matter, Kuroki?ă
Kuna asked with a curious look on her face.
ăNo, itâs nothing. Shall we go then?ă
I got a grip on myself and wiped the drool at the edge of my mouth.
Thus we proceeded to fly towards the Republic of Ariadya on Gloriousâ back.
The sun had set already by the time we realized. We were currently bathed under the silvery moonlight that illuminated the night sky. Different from the sun, the moonlight was a gentle light that caressed everyone equally.
And we continued to ride on Gloriousâ back, bathing under the silvery moonlight, as we headed towards the Republic of Ariadya.
