Chapter 396: Triumphant Return

Chapter 396 Triumphant Return

After watching the trial together, we are waiting for Haru and the others to come back. It is the return of my proud disciple who had surpassed my expectations and passed Rimudo’s trial in one shot. I couldn’t participate in the trial for some reason, so I feel refreshed, and above all, I feel proud. Well, I won’t participate even if I could, though.

?Hmm, they are about to come down.?

?Okay, let’s welcome them. They cleared it faster than I expected, so let’s celebrate it properly.?

?If we’re going to celebrate, let’s have Haru-chan cook the best food!?

?No, you should make it by imitating Haru’s movement, Head Maid. I mean, it’s to congratulate them.?

?If I do that, I will have to sleep all day again from tomorrow, you know??

…… Is that, by any chance, a threat?

?Ooh, look. Dragon God-sama has come back…! Thank heaven!?

?I can’t believe that such a huge mountain is a living creature. As expected of Dragons! Also, this Dragon God Pancake is delicious!?

?H-Hey, is it really going to be okay? If something like that fell, it would cause a huge tsunami, right? I think it’s not the time to be eating that….?

?Everyone~, the limited-time sale will end soon! The Dragon God Rock will fall to the sea soon, and it will be the finale that will be the biggest spectacle of the Flying Rock Festival! For that reason, please make your purchases while you still can now!?

The people around us became noisy. Rimudo would fly away suddenly, but his landing on the water could be predicted to some extent. That’s why everyone wants to see the climax of the festival, which can be seen even by ordinary people.

We also followed that attitude and decided to wait for the return while looking up at the sky. After a while, a huge falling object can be seen from the other side of the cloud. Still, this Dragon God Pancake sure is delicious.

???? DOOOGOOOOOOON!

Immediately after Rimudo collided with the surface of the sea, a tremendous roaring sound rang out. Thanks to the barriers around Rimudo, the things that the tourists worried about didn’t happen. Rather, the ones who have it hard must be Haru and the others. They are being hit directly by the big earthquake, floods, and various impacts inside the barriers.

?By the way, Goshujin-sama, how are we going to pick them up from the eighth island??

?If there’s no problem, they will be back riding on the Hund Ship.?

?No one seemed to be injured, so they’ll be okay. Look, we can see them already.?

?Shishooooo!?

In the direction where Nell pointed, I saw Haru waving her hand with a smile while riding the fast Hund Ship. It seems that the previous pandemonium wasn’t a big deal. She’s still energetic and she’s waving her hand real hard. She also doesn’t mind about the islanders and tourists who are watching her. As expected of the high school girl start player, she doesn’t care about the attention she’s getting.

Hund-kun also seems to be in good shape, and his swimming is getting better. As for Touko, it seems that she doesn’t want to lose to Haru that she’s also waving her hand in a somewhat reserved manner while blushing. Even Chinatsu is?? hmm?

?…… Why is Chinatsu crouching while covering her face with her hands??

?How strange. She wasn’t supposed to be a shy person, right??

?A maiden’s heart is complex~. But Lily can guess it~. For Chinatsu, the way she fought earlier was unintentional.?

?Why? Chinatsu was in good shape, right??

?That’s the reason~. Wait, you haven’t noticed it even after I said it this much? Are you serious??

???

?…… Well, I think Nell will never understand.?

Nell tilts her head with a big question mark on her head, and Lily is amazed while letting out a big sigh. However, I understood. With Lily’s hint, I understood why Chinatsu was in such a state. During the trial, Goddess Chinatsu was very excited and was showing a very different side of her. It was a disgraceful behavior for her, and it was so great that misfortune befell me, her worshiper.

?Uhh…?

Look, she’s really worried. Now that she has descended from Rimudo Rocky Mountain, she has returned to her usual self. I’m sure that she wants to enter a hole if there’s one.

?Okay, we’ve arrived at the first island. Everyone, don’t forget your belongings.?

In the meantime, the Hund Ship arrived. He’s completely become a proper ship, and he even made an announcement to prevent things left behind when the girls were getting off the ship. Then, Haru and Touko ran toward us at full speed.

?Shish?, I’m back! I’ve successfully cleared Rimudo-san’s trial! Victory!?

?D-Deris-danna, did you watch me? H-How was it? Did I do well??

?Yeah, you two did really well.?

?Hey! I understand how you feel, but Touko-chan, you have to come to me, your master, first! I will cry, you know!??

?That said, Lily-shish?. If you were in the same position, where will you go first??

?What a stupid question! I will leap to Goshujin-sama’s armph hmmph!?

Following Chinatsu and Haru, this time Lily’s mouth is closed in a hurry. Touko is working really hard, huh. The moment they returned, it immediately became noisy. However??

?Chinatsu, what’s wrong? Raise your face!?

?I can’t, Nell-shish?. I’ve done it again…. I thought that I could restrain myself, but I got carried away and made those kinds of remarks…. After all, Gii-kun is the best for me. It keeps a moderate speed, it’s lovely, and it’s a healing for me…. Ah, jeez! Just remembering about it makes me feel like my face is on fire…!?

?I don’t understand what you’re talking about. And Chinatsu, you haven’t learned that kind of magic, so there’s no way your face is on fire! Even I have never done that!?

?? However, the master-disciple duo wasn’t on the same page. Hey, Nell, don’t act stupid in front of the current Chinatsu. She doesn’t have the composure to make a comeback now.

?Hey, Haru. How long is Chinatsu going to be like that? Is she like that every time after riding a thrill ride??

?Yes, she’s like that every time. Normally, she will recover in a few minutes and enthusiastically embark on the next ride…. But this time, there’s no next ride. Also, the time she was riding on Rimudo-san was long, so….?

?The longer she got excited, the longer the shock would be. I see.?

In conclusion, Goddess Chinatsu is suffering. It’s good since she could accumulate power for her Unique Skill, but it will be troublesome later if she gets too depressed. To make up for the next ride, let’s have Haru bring out Gii-kun and let Chinatsu ride it until she’s satisfied. I’m sure she will be fine after that.

?By the way, Haru. How was Rimudo’s trial??

?The reward was very delicious!?

?…… Really, you’re always stable, huh.?
