Chapter 350 The Delinquent Maid

After that, I reminded them to pick the related Skills for the newly available slots and explained about the upcoming activities. Haru’s eyes lit up, Chinatsu let out a sigh, and Touko gave me a meaningful look. After the lecture was over, Nell took Chinatsu to the training ground. It seems that they are going to practice the newly acquired Unique Skill. Come to think of it, I haven’t asked Chinatsu about her Unique Skill. I wonder what kind of Skill is that?

?Eh? You’re going to leave when Lilyvia-sama completely wakes up??

?Yeah. Sorry, but there’s a reason to hurry. We’re going to leave Al Nova two or three days later and head to the island of the dragon god, where Rimudo’s nest is located.?

When I and Haru were walking through the corridor while checking her Unique Skill, we happened to run into Zeta. Since it was a good opportunity, I decided to tell her about our departure schedule.

?I see. We’ve been getting along for the past few days, so I’m going to miss you when you leave….?

?Uhh, I’m going to miss you too…. Ah, that’s right! Let’s go together, Zeta-san! That way, we won’t feel lonely!?

?Hey, what are you saying all of a sudden? Zeta will be troubled, you know??

?Fufu, I’ll just accept your feelings. I have a job that Zex-sama asked me to do, so I have to go back to Snowtail soon. It seems that Alezel-sama also has a business on the Jiba continent. Depending on her schedule, I will ask her to take me along.?

?What, Alezel is leaving too? Well, she’s the president of a big company even if she looks like that, so I guess she’s busy, huh.?

?Uhh, I’m going to miss you….?

I was thinking that it would be convenient if I could borrow an airship, but it seems impossible. The island of the dragon god is located further north of the northernmost tip of the Zen continent. It’s not the same as traveling around the country, and walking there is not realistic. But if we run, it’s going to be a death march again. Hmm, do we have a future?

?Haru, don’t ask Nell what our method of transportation is, okay? If it’s her, she would decide to go there by running and swimming.?

?Eh, we can’t??

?Even if you and Nell are fine with it, it’s not fine for me and Chinatsu. I’ll take care of it before the day we leave, so don’t ever say anything about it. I’m serious, okay??

?As expected of Shish?, you’re reliable! Okay!?

We give each other a thumbs up. Now, let’s practice her Unique Skill.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After leaving the meeting room, Touko came to the bedroom where Lilyvia is sleeping. This is to convey to her master, Lily, what Deris and Nell talked about in the name of a lecture.

???So, Lily-shish?. Danna said that we are going to leave this country when you completely wake up. …… Hey, are you listening??

?Supi~…?

?Hey, listen to me! You were the one who asked me to be a messenger, weren’t you!??

However, Lily is sleeping on the bed while blowing a snot bubble and has no sign of waking up at all. Since there are no other Great Eight Demons here, she’s just a useless maid now. Her sleeping face looks so happy that you can’t imagine her as the same person who showed off the magnificent techniques of Haruna at the beach volleyball yesterday.

?Uhh~… so noisy nya~. Don’t worry~, I’m listening~?

?Can you stop that calculating way of talking? I think Danna doesn’t like that kind of thing, you know??

?Seriously??

?I’m serious. Hey, you are actually awake, aren’t you!? Just get up already!?

?Uhee….?

Lily unwillingly got up only her upper body from the bed. She then yawned grandly and shed tears in her purple eyes.

?Touko-chan, your respect for me is lacking lately, isn’t it? You look at Goshujin-sama with a passionate gaze, but when you look at me, it’s like you are looking at a troublesome boss, you know??

?You understand it well, huh? If you put your hand on your chest and think about what you’ve done, I think you can understand more.?

?I can’t help it~, this is who I really am~?

?Uwah, stop struggling! What are you, a child!??

Lily lay down on the bed again and flailed her hands and feet. Even though her arms are slender, her physical strength is much higher than Hund’s. Therefore, it’s extremely difficult for Touko to stop her even though she has reached level 8. If she’s careless, she will get hurt the moment that attack touched her.

?Crap, I’m tired….?

?I’ve been thinking about it for a while. Lily-shish?, you’re an idiot, aren’t you??

?And who’s the delinquent who was rehabilitated by that idiot? You don’t have enough gratitude after all~?

?If you always act like this, anyone will get tired of you! Aah, don’t spread the cookie bag on the bed! The crumbs will fall all over the place!?

Even though she says so, Touko continues to clean and take care of Lily. The habit has completely permeated her body, and she does what she has to do despite what she says.

?Still, the place where Rimudo is, the island of the dragon god, huh~…. Until now, we’ve been paying attention only to Mama, but that place is also dangerous~. You girls have become stronger, but I’m not sure if you can come back alive. Also, these cookies are delicious, really delicious.?

Lily, who’s chewing the cookies while sleeping, said something ominous. Touko was thinking about punching her, but she dropped her fist because of Lily’s lack of motivation.

?Useless Maid-shish?, when you say something like that, at least make a serious face. I want to react seriously, but I can’t get into the mood.?

?I don’t want to. Also, don’t call me useless maid. After all, the one who can call me that is only Goshujin-sama whom I swore loyalty to~?

?Danna won’t be pleased if you talk about loyalty while eating cookies.?

?It’s okay because it’s not in front of him.?

Lily, who had finished eating most of the cookies, seemed to be satisfied and began to wrap herself in the blanket. Her eyelids are getting heavier and she seems to be on the verge of falling asleep.

?Yawn~…. Well, don’t worry. The next time I wake up, I will train Touko-chan and the others~. Maybe about two days later…? Until then, you can train with Haru and the others….?

?Uwaah, I can’t feel relieved at all. Okay, I got it. I will take care of you, so just go sleep now.?

?Okay~. By the way, why are you wearing a maid’s outfit, Touko-chan??

?You bastard was the one who told me to wear it when taking care of youuuu!?

Touko launched a fist while using Berserk, but Lily brilliantly avoided it. And then, she fell off the bed.
