In the early morning, the sun shone onto my eyes and woke me up. I had rested well, settled in between Kurone and Shirone.Morning already, huh. Luckily, we had gone to sleep early, so I woke up easily."Good morning, you two."I greeted Kurone and Shirone then got up.Sleeping between my Cats felt nice, but snuggling up in a bed was still the best.Zelef stirred in his blanket next to me, most likely woken by me."Good morning, Nicole.""Morning. Let’s eat breakfast and then head out quickly.""Okay."We ate a simple breakfast, packed up, and headed out in no time.I looked at the Cat Map and saw that we were already getting close.Based on the distance we had already traveled, we should arrive at noon as long as nothing happened."Zelef , are you feeling okay? You’re not too tired, are you?""I’m fine. Riding on your Cats is comfortable unlike horseback, where I get all sore in a couple of hours. I’m not feeling tired at all."Yeah, it seemed like everything would be fine as long as
Since the troublesome conversation continued, I decided to just get up and leave.I didn’t understand noble etiquette, so I found it boring.Zelef felt the same way, so we promptly told them we had to start the food preparations and rushed out.We then told Meshun we got permission to start, so she took us to the kitchen.I wanted to see the girls first, but since I was holding onto the ingredients, I had to go to the kitchen before that."This is the kitchen. Feel free to use anything inside. I will fetch you some help now, so please wait a moment."Meshun said and left promptly.Zelef had requested for some people to help him with some basic things like fetching and washing ingredients.Gran had asked him how many people he needed, and Zelef had said that three people should suffice.I had thought that only three assistants was a bit insufficient, but he had explained to me that there wasn’t that much he needed help with."Well then, Nicole, could you bring out the ingredients?""Yo
The girls and I walked into the kitchen, where Zelef was in the middle of giving instructions to the maids while also doing some preparations himself. The boxes of ingredients I had taken out earlier were already all scattered around. Well, that most likely couldn’t be helped, as they had to open them to see what was inside.Botts was sitting on a chair very close to Zelef , watching him intently.He seemed to be doing quite fine, not counting his injured hands.He had seemed full of energy when he had been talking to Zelef earlier, even though his livelihood had just so recently been targeted."Please place that box into the refrigerated pantry. I will need that box today so bring it closer…"Zelef was so focused on his preparations that I was unable to find a good time to ask if we could borrow some space in the kitchen.As we stood there wondering how to approach him, Botts noticed us."Misana-sama? The Cat?"When Botts called out to us, Zelef Finally looked our way as well." Nico
The party was well underway now.All the maids and other employees were very busy due to the amount of guests that had arrived.As much as we would like to help, both Marie and I knew nothing about noble parties.We just hid ourselves in our room to stay out of the way.If I walked around the mansion in my suit, I would only draw attention to myself, which would only end up causing a commotion."Marie, what should we do?""Hmm, how about some dismantling?"She said after thinking about it for a bit.She came all the way here, so she should stop thinking about dismantling and just take a break."You don’t have to do that right now.""Okay, how about cleaning?""You don’t have to do that either.""Uuu, Big Sis Nicole. I can’t calm down. I’m in a Noble-sama’s mansion; I just can’t stay still knowing that."Marie couldn’t stay calm even though this was her third day here already, huh.I had to help her feel comfortable staying at mansions, somehow.Noa and Misa were her friends, so they w
The next day, Gran and Cliff came to thank me while we were in the middle of breakfast.Noa and Gran explained how Zelef had helped save the party yesterday.Many merchants and influential people had agreed to listen to Gran , but they were mainly talking about Zelef .It made sense that if the royal head chef appeared, the people doing shady deals in the background would take notice and would have to pull back, knowing that the king might hear about what they were up to. After all, nobody was stupid enough to go against the king.The other people that stayed wanted to learn more about Zelef , of course.The reason given for Zelef coming was that it was because he was acquainted with Botts , and because the Foschuroze family’s Eleanora had requested him to go.Now nobody would know that I had actually been the one who asked Zelef to come.In the first place, most people would question us if they found out that a Cat had brought him here.I always hated dealing with troublesome things,
As Marina started to lead the way, Misa happily darted to her side.She must really trust Marina, huh.Well, I did find her party to be quite trustworthy as well. When they had been attacked by the orcs, they stood and fought without trying to run.I noticed Marina was looking at Misa with a warm expression, too."Marina, where is the rest of your party?"I asked her as we approached the gate.When her party had been escorting Gran , there had been four of them. I couldn’t recall their names at all, though."Oh, Masurika and Euri are off doing something else. Bringing Elle here with me is more than enough for this request."Ah, without her, she wouldn’t be able to get the moles out from underground.The fields came into sight a short while after we passed through the gate.How vast. I could see several people working on them.When we got close enough, Marina called out to one of the workers."Excuse me. We are here because there was a request for mole extermination at the Adventurer’s
Accepting Isacia’s helping hands. Light hope of glimmer upon Mayu’s eyes. She turns her sight toward Akane and Sasa.“Before I send you back three days from now. I must tell you some points about the happening before the World destruction ritual begun. First is the true dragon's planned attack on the tournament held by the princess. Second is the revival of the true demon king Azalea in one of your friend's body Megumi and the Third movements of the genesis bearer Noah. Those three are the most important points in this battle. You must stop these three at all cost.”“Megumi? Does that mean Megumi was taken over?”Mayu asked.Sasa was dejected worried and replied.“Megumi was taken over by the demon king's soul. She is not on herself right now…”“That's the second one… The demon king Azalea is only the being in this world capable of rivaling the power of the princess. The star falls earlier that kill most of the kingdom citizen can be expanded ten folds by the magical power of the prin
Within three days the world destruction ritual will begin. That suppose to be the case, but when true dragon Fei is out of the picture everything already changed. The smallest thing can truly change anything in the future.“The tournament was cancelled?”Mayu said with a surprised expression.“Apparently the princess cancelled the tournament for some reason. That princess is true oddly weird but she is a good person deep inside…”Rosalie said and then presented me a newspaper that was spread out through the whole country this morning.I took the newspaper in her hand and read.Now that the tournament is gone the accident that supposed to take place there will never gonna happen. I don’t know what kind of ability the princess has, but it feels like she predicted this to happen. Even that’s the case. There was still a possibility of the true dragon attacking the princess because she is a genesis bearer like me. Also, Noah is going to attack.The tournament might not be really necessary
