After the Underworld Kingās camp, War Kingās camp, and the World Kingās camp, the place we went to nextā¦ā¦ is my house.
[No, we donāt have to go to Isis-sanās castle, since sheās over there, you know? Iris, I mean.]
[Ahh, the next one is Iris-san huh.]
[Iāve already told her to swap with the clone in the basement bar in advance. Iris is also quite good at Space-Time Magic, so she quickly learned the magic of swapping her main body with her clone.]
In other words, the next place weāre heading to is Iris-sanās bar, since sheās in the Death Kingās camp. Nodding in understanding to Aliceās words, we walked to Iris-sanās bar, where we were greeted by Iris-san.
As soon as we were seated at the counter, Alice began to make small talk with her.
[And so, Iris. Youāre a Duke-rank now.]
[ā¦ā¦You have no intention of explaining huh. Well, I had heard some things about this beforehandā¦ā¦ Even so, isnāt my pace quite strange?]
[Well, in just 2 years from your resurrection, youāve gone up to Duke-rank. That honestly makes you the fastest in history, but in Irisā case, you have an unfair start over everyone.]
Iris-san was originally Aliceās clone that has almost the same physical abilities as herā¦ā¦ Errr, something like a Perfect Clone or something like that, so needless to say, it could be said that her basic level at her starting point was on the level of the Six Kings.
Well, in fact, it seems that she wasnāt able to use that extremely strong power, and I heard that she was only able to draw power as much as a mid Count-rank.
After Shiro-san had given her the item that allows her to generate her own magic power, even though her basic abilities had been reduced due to adjustments, it seems that allows her body to grow.
[ā¦ā¦Speaking of which, it just occurred to me, but Iris-sanās body was originally Aliceās clone, right? I heard she was amassing a large number of those clones, but isnāt there any strain on Aliceās?]
[It used to have some strain on me back then, but it isnāt a problem now. To be honest, the me right now can easily make a few hundred million clonesā¦ā¦ Also, as for Irisā current body, in the first place, it has already been rebuilt in a different way from a clone.]
[Ahh, so Iris-san doesnāt have your clone as her base?]
[Yes, I had her body created based on the items given to me by Shallow Vernal-sama.]
ā¦ā¦āHad her body createdā? Who did? Did she ask Shiro-san, or perhaps, Kuro, just like how she created Zwei-sanās bodyā¦ā¦
As I was thinking about this, Iris-san spoke.
[I donāt mind the idea of becoming a Duke-rankā¦ā¦ but didnāt I hear how youāre gonna raise two people from each camp?]
[Ahh~~ I intended to do that, but the number of Death Kingās subordinates is too small at the moment, so for the time being, it would just be Iris. After a while, when your camp has more people under your command, I will have another one become a Duke-rank.]
[Fumu, well, do whatever you want. Itās not like being a Duke-rank changes anything. Especially since Iām still new to this world, I have no special thoughts about the Peerage systemā¦ā¦ It does feel a little uncomfortable that Iām classified as a Demon instead of a Human.]
[It is a fact that the current Iris isnāt a Human after all.]
[Well, I guess thatās true.]
Hearing Aliceās words, Iris-san wryly smiled. The conversation between the two of them is light and casual, but being best friends, their conversation really has this calm mood around it.
Itās like, they have this air around them that was open for the other person.
[Even so, going from one place to another in the morning, it must be rough for Miyama Kaito too.]
[Come to think of it, quite some time has passed huh.]
[ā¦ā¦Guess thatās the reason you came at this time?]
[As expected, Iris quickly gets it. We leave our lunch to you.]
Ahh, I see, the reason why we went to the bar instead of Isis-sanās castle at this time was that she was planning to have lunch here huhā¦ā¦ Indeed, looking at the clock, it was exactly noon.
Letting out a sigh of dismay, Iris-san snapped her fingers. Thereupon, a small pot appeared in front of Iris-san.
[ā¦ā¦Are you fine with dry curry? I made some yesterday, so I could easily prepare it now.]
[Iām OK with anything.]
[Ah, Iām alright with it too. Iām sorry for the suddenness.]
[No, donāt mind it. Iāll prepare it right away, so wait for a bit while I make you some drinksā¦ā¦ As for you, Alice, I pretty much mind it, so go prepare your own drink.]
[Thatās strange, isnāt it? Even though youāre so kind to Kaito-san, why is this best friend of mine not kind to me at allā¦ā¦]
She suddenly barged in and demanded lunch, so I guess her acting like that canāt be helped.
Even so, as Iris-san began to prepare a drink for me as she said, them bantering like that really feels like they were close, making me smile a bit.
