Seijo no Kaifuku Mahou ga Dou Mitemo Ore no Rekkaban na Ken ni Tsuite Chapter 47

Spent yesterday TLing No Fatigue (but it’s currently being used as an editor’s test and I won’t be releasing it until ch50). Thanks for all the offers of editing!~

Also, I’m sorry to tell you guys but the cliffies continue until at least ch51… (at least the plot is moving?)

……Not that it means I’m going to be doing it XP

The Jet-Black Saviour has Arrived!!

“In commemoration of the ogre subjugation, Cheers!!”
“””CHEERS!!!”””

Right now, I was partic.i.p.ating in the party held at the guild.

Then, we cleaned up the blood-stained guild and have now reached this point.
In reality, the matter with Weiss is yet to be settled, but we should just enjoy ourselves for now.

“h.e.l.l yeah guys, let’s do a lotta drinkinggggg!!”
“”YEAHHHhhhhhHH!!!””

As expected of adventurers, the way they get excited at these times is different.

……What am I doing then? That would be [cooking].

Thus, the number of people who could cook were inevitably few so…..

The ones cooking were two groups: Lily and I, and Aura and Asha-san.

T-Tré’s inability to cook was.. well, it’s like that. She’s currently at home.
In other words, Lily and I were cooking as a pair but……

“Together with Nest~”

I didn’t know what there was to be so happy about, but she stuck to me every time she found spare moment when cooking. Well when I think about it, it might be that I’ve been too busy lately and haven’t been playing with her much.

“Lily is a cute one.”

I pat Lily’s head, who was sticking to me.
She was being obedient like this, unlike a certain somebody.

“Lily isn’t holding a knife behind her back, right~?”
“Hm?”

Her little head tilts at my words.

After that, having enjoyed myself patting Lily’s head, I resume cooking together with Lily.

We finally managed to obtain food when the cooking was almost finished.

“Oh Nest!! I heard you made this!! It’s super delicious!!”

Yup, that’s the one Asha-san made.

Gradually, all the adventurers drunk themselves into a stupor, and started laying down on the floor of the guild.

At last, staying awake was just me alone, so I decided to go sleep soon.

“Before sleeping, toilet……”

If I remember correctly, I saw one in the middle of the guild corridor.

??????????????Crash.

“……”

I think I heard it from the room next to the lavatory.

If so, it would be trouble. I timidly extend my hand to the door.

However, it was dark so I couldn’t see any more than that.

“The Jet-black saviour has arrived!!”
“Hey, who are you!!??”

Who could blame me for unintentionally retorting.

“!!”

When the self-proclaimed [Jet-Black Saviour] realised I was there, he tried to hide himself in great haste but honestly, I couldn’t help thinking it was too late.

“Wait!”

I should catch him and check his ident.i.ty just in case.

“……Your Majesty!?”

The ident.i.ty of the self-proclaimed [Jet-Black Saviour] turned out to be the king.

“I-I’m sorry!!”

In a panic, I lower my head and apologise. However, the king also seems to be in a fl.u.s.ter.

“N-no, you’re mistaken!! I-it’s not like I was trying to pretend to be the [Jet-Black Saviour] or anything!!”
“………”

If he’s trying to hide it then I should probably start with not attaching -sama……
Perhaps the king also didn’t think he concealed it well now, but his face was pale.

“……Shall we head outside for the time being?”

If someone was to see us when we’re discussing here, it might trouble the king who had apparently come incognito.

With me in the lead, we were able to come to the vicinity of my house without anyone seeing.

“……Er, first of all, do you remember me, Your Majesty? We’ve met once before.”
“Yeah, I remember. You were one of the healers brought along to heal my daughter.”

I’ve only met with the king once, so I thought for sure he would have forgotten me but, unexpectedly, he remembered.

“Yes, we met there. And as far as it goes, I’m also Aura’s master.”

I heard from Asha-san that Aura guided the king when I was away, so I added that as well.

“Oh, so you’re Aura’s master. Please tell her I’m indebted to her this time. Also, I also said this to Aura, but it’s fine not to use honorifics when it’s just the two of us.”

It looks like he said it in pa.s.sing, but that’s usually no good.

Using it with Asha-san is because it has already become a habit so it can’t be helped though……

“Understood…….And so, just what did your majesty come to the guild to do!?”

When I ask that, the king comes before me and grasps me strongly.

“This is my once-in-a-lifetime request!! Please don’t tell anyone about the thing just now!!”

With the king pressing closely in desperation, I nod in a panic.

“I-I understand. So please let go for now.”

However, the king’s state seemed to be strange for some reason. Sinking into silence, he was staring at me with his eyes wide open

Then where was he looking……?
If I follow the king’s line of sight then.. my [ear]?

“Umm.. Your majesty?”

Despite being surprised by his abrupt change, I call out to the king.

“………I-I’m sorry but may I make another once-in-a-lifetime request?”
“Uh, well it’s fine but……?”

The king still had his gaze resting on my ear as he said that.

I didn’t think that he’d say something difficult, but I was still a little nervous anyway.
……Several seconds later, the king finally gave me his request.

 “P-please shake my hand!!”

 Bending his waist deeply, he held out both his hands before me, while???
