Chapter 19 The Master's Room (1)
?"Ah... I want to laze around..." Lyan muttered as he lay on his bed.
(Laziness is not a good habit, master) (Arturia)
(My head's killing me...) (Griselda)
(Me too... *Blegh!*) (Lilith)
(Y-You! How filthy! Don't carelessly vomit in the living room! Go to the toilet and vomit as much as you want!) (Hestia)
(Freeze) (Eira)
(T-The vomit got frozen...) (Sylphia)
(Ugh... The smell is horrible, big sis Lilith) (Azelia)
(Purify, purify, purify, purify, purify, purify) (Cynthia)
(Holy big sis had gone nuts!) (Azelia)
(Hey! Shadow Hob! Clean this succubus's vomit now! It's too disgusting!) (Hestia)
The boozes from last night seem to have made quite a mess inside the house of the grimoire's space. Since Griselda and Lilith drank the most, they're having the most severe hangover, while the others seem to be rather well.
Lilith's sudden vomiting made a big commotion. Eira froze the vomit in disgust, Azelia got bothered by its smell, Cynthia became weird, and Hestia angrily commanded the shadow hobgoblin to clean up Lilith's mess.
(That shadow hobgoblin, they really made him into their servant, didn't they?) (Lyan)
(Make sure you don't leave even a single drop of the vomit here! I'll burn you if it even has the smell remains, okay! You hear me!?) (Hestia)
(How unreasonable...) (Lyan)
*Knock!* *Knock!*
"Excuse me, dear guest. This is the breakfast you ordered," The inn's waitress's voice sounded from outside the room.
"Ah. Yes," Lyan opened the room's door and let the waitress in.
"Please enjoy yourself, dear guest," The waitress gave a bow after finishing arranging the food on top of the table.
"Yes, thank you for your kindness," (Lyan)
Of course, the food brought by the waitress has a portion for nine people. When the waitress went to Lyan's room last night to collect the plates and the mugs, Lyan ordered the same portion for breakfast.
"Fufufu!" The waitress let out a small laugh.
"Hm? Is there something, miss?" (Lyan)
"Ah. Beg your pardon, it's just that I found it amusing how big your appetite is, dear guest. There are lots of guests that love to waste food here, but all of your plates are completely clean yesterday, you must have a very big appetite," (Waitress)
"Ahahaha. Sorry for troubling you..." Lyan replied with a wry smile.
"Please don't be. I'm happy to help and see your clean dishes," said the waitress with a beaming smile.
"I hope you have a good day, dear guest," The waitress gives a bow before she left.
"Now what do we have for breakfast..." (Lyan)
The breakfast prepared for him today is two bread-bowl stews, three bowls of porridges, three sandwiches, a huge jug filled with milk, and a huge jug filled with water.
"They gave me quite a variety today... Ah! Since it's already a new day, I could now enter the grimoire's space again, couldn't I? Let's just eat together, I guess," (Lyan)
Lyan summoned the summoning grimoire, and warp himself together with the table full of foods for breakfast with him to the grimoire's space.
*Whoosh!*
Lyan appeared in the dining room of the house. But when he appeared there, the eight spirit girls had already gathered with their personal plates and personal mugs ready on top of the dining table.
Lyan shifted his gaze towards the living room, and saw that the shadow hobgoblin is still busy wiping the floor with a towel and a bucket filled with water on his side.
(Good work, shadow hob. I'll go buy a gift for you next time. But more importantly...) (Lyan)
Lyan shifted his gaze back to the girls sitting at the dining table.
(W-Why are they staring at me like that? Don't tell me... Did they catch me going to the brothel last night!? But I didn't even get the chance to do anything since I got kicked out of the brothel! And I properly cut off all of the connection with the grimoire's space before I went out!) (Lyan)
"It seems that you and the waitress look chummy with each other back then," (Griselda)
(Eh?) (Lyan)
"Indeed... The expression of the waitress is sure quite unusual just now," Arturia affirmed with a nod.
"Hm... Yesterday, all of us got knocked out by the booze. It's no wonder that you took that chance to woo that girl last night," (Lilith)
"The one getting knocked out by the boozes are only you and that ferocious knight, you stupid succubus. The rest of us fell asleep because we're full from eating the food," (Hestia)
"I-I don't really mind e-even if you do such things, m-master. I-If I stay in my room, I-I wouldn't be able to hear t-the sound from the magic screen, after all," Sylphia uttered with a small voice and a flushed face.
"What did master do?" Azelia curiously asked the others.
"He laid the waitress," (Hestia)
"He made love with her," (Lilith)
"He fucked her," (Griselda)
"H-He d-did... Master is indecent," (Arturia)
"M-Master... You want to make the waitress lay eggs...?" (Azelia)
(Eh? Lay eggs? Azelia, why are you hugging yourself as if you're trying to protect yourself from a pervert? Trust me, I didn't touch any woman yesterday. Well I did touch someone, but I got kicked out of the brother immediately afterward, you know?) (Lyan)
"Calm down, everyone. If he did do something to the waitress last night, we would have seen her saying 'ah... Good morning, Mr. Lyan,' when he woke up just now, no?" Cynthia suddenly uttered a sound argument.
"Indeed... But when we woke up, he had already woke up first and was reading a book. We didn't know whether the waitress had already left his room at this moment," (Arturia)
"Then let's ask the person that already arrives at the living room at the beginning," (Hestia)
"If I'm not mistaken. The ice girl is the one that arrived at the living room first before me," (Griselda)
"Then Lady Eira, did you see someone when he woke up?" (Arturia)
"I didn't. When he wakes up, he immediately takes several books from the bookshelf and starts reading them on top of the bed," Eira answered without changing her expression.
"Oh. I see... Is that so..." Arturia muttered as she let out a breath of relief.
"Huh! What a chicken!" (Griselda)
"You're not fun at all, aren't you..." (Hestia)
"Even though I gave you some space to vent out your hidden urges, master..." (Lilith)
"Yeah, yeah. If we're done with this stupid conversation, then let's eat, okay?" Lyan weakly said as he takes a sandwich and munch it.
As if losing interest in Lyan, everyone started to take their own portion of food to their bowl and drink in their mug before starting to eat.
Their plates and their mugs are something that were already prepared inside the dining room. The color of the plates and the mugs are prepared the same as their hair color.
(No wonder I felt something's off. They no longer used their outfits and had used modern pajamas. Did they get them from the house as well? Even the colors and the designs suits them individually...) (Lyan)
The breakfast went with little conversation filled between Lyan, Lilith, Azelia, and Hestia.
(I guess they're still quite wary of me, huh. Well, that's not strange since I felt the same way and we have only met each other yesterday, after all) (Lyan)
"Ah!!!!" Lilith stands from her chair in an exaggerated manner.
"What is it, Lilith...?" (Lyan)
"That room! The locked room! I'm dying to know what's inside it, you know!? Try to open it, master! Come on! Come on!" Lilith pulled and pestered him to go upstairs.
"You're right! I tried to blast the door away but I couldn't! My full-powered punches and kicked wouldn't even leave a small mark on that damned door!" (Griselda)
"Fine, fine, I know. Let me finish my drink for a second and I'll try," Lyan frees himself from Lilith and gulped his drink.
"Let's go," (Lyan)
Lyan is also interested in what exists inside the room that was said as the grimoire's space master's room.
(I wonder if there is something like a control room inside it that I could use to manage the space and the house? Or something similar like that? I'm starting to get excited...) (Lyan)
Lyan followed Griselda and Lilith upstairs to see the room.
(So this is it...) (Lyan)
Lyan arrived in front of a black door that has the same design as the summoning grimoire's cover. The room is located on the top floor of the house, and is rather big.
"Try opening it, master," (Lilith)
"Open it already!" (Griselda)
"Open it! Open it!" (Azelia)
"Quick! I'm dying to know!" (Hestia)
"...." (Eira & Sylphia & Cynthia & Arturia)
Lyan looked behind him and found out that the ones here are not only him together with Lilith and Griselda.
"I-I'm also quite interested with what's inside..." (Arturia)
"M-Me too..." (Sylphia)
"I could feel holiness from the door..." (Cynthia)
(Holiness...? That was just an excuse, isn't it? You're secretly interested in what's inside too, aren't you...? But well...) (Lyan)
Lyan shifted his gaze back towards the black door and holds the knob of the door.
Suddenly, black particles gathered on his hands and the door, and suddenly-
*Click!*
"""I-It opens!!!"""
