Volume 6 Chapter 3 Something Common In Light Novels
In life, the experience of moving is surprisingly rare. It's not uncommon for some people to never have done it even once.
Moving to a new base is a very troublesome matter.
Especially for someone who likes to laze around at home, there is nothing more troublesome than moving.
I myself hated moving from my parents' house to my current apartment.
So, when Kagami-san mentioned the word "moving," my immediate thought was, "Huh?"
To go as far as telling us, it must be something like that, but I confirmed just to be sure.
"Kagami-san, are you moving somewhere?"
"It's not me. It's you guys who are moving."
I knew it.
"Whether they are a new force or traitors, the problem is that humans are hostile. Unlike demons, they don't necessarily attack at night."
"That's true."
Demons have immense magic power, but their fuel efficiency is not great. During the day when Aether is thin, it's like they are in a high-altitude area with low oxygen for them.
"In other words, the time we need to be cautious has increased. You can't continue living in that apartment as you have until now, right?"
"That's true."
"Above all..."
Kagami-san paused there and looked down at me with half-closed eyes. More accurately, at me and Sharla sitting right next to me.
"If Sharla-san is going to live with you, it will definitely be cramped."
"Huh?"
When she looked at her and said that, Sharla nodded with a natural expression.
I see, because of the consecutive incidents, I had completely forgotten, but there is no way Sharla has a place to live in Japan. She can no longer use magic, and it's safest for her to be with us.
Above all, this girl has no life skills whatsoever.
Even though she has been living as the bride of the god of hell for a long time, it's a big mistake to think that she has undergone the typical bride training. I mean, Sharla wields a curved sword instead of a kitchen knife.
And since the concept of time has disappeared, her daily rhythm is completely messed up. In the Asteris era, Eris had a hard time waking her up.
Living alone is impossible. And to Sharla, this place is a different world.
"Now that I think about it, it's tough for four people in that apartment. Well, even with three people, I already felt the limit."
"I was actually impressed that you were able to live like this. Kanami-san, weren't you living in a bigger house in Asteris?"
"Uh, yes. Well, that's right. But I have no complaints about my current life."
That's not true.
In Kanami's perspective, it's about the size of her room and the toilet in Asteris. If you think about living with three people in a toilet, it's too terrible. Quality of life is immeasurable.
"What, what's with that gaze? It's not like I've only lived in a castle, I've slept and stayed in harsher places during training. It was normal to sleep outdoors and it goes without saying when there are lifelines and walls and roofs."
"My room, compared to sleeping outdoors..."
"It's different, it's just a figure of speech!"
Yeah, well, compared to a castle and sleeping outdoors, my room is better.
"But even if you say we're moving, I don't have that kind of money. When it comes to finding a place for four people to live, it becomes quite expensive."
That's the biggest hurdle. Right now, thanks to the assistance money from the Anti-Demon Special Forces, our daily life is not difficult, but moving is a different story.
The former Hero has no money.
Kagami-san nodded.
"Don't worry about that. We've prepared it on our side."
"Huh, you prepared the moving expenses?"
"No, it's not that."
"Then what did you prepare?"
"A house."
Huh?
Kagami-san said it again.
"So, we've prepared a house for you all. The best place for the five of you to live."
It took some time for the meaning of those words to sink in.
Lisha tilted her head with a smile, Kanami nodded, and Sharla leaned on my arm.
And instead of me, Tsukiko spoke up.
"Wait. Didn't you just say five people?"
Come to think of it, Kagami-san did say that. It's strange. It must be me, Lisha, Kanami, and Sharla. Even if we all live together, it's only four people.
Maybe I miscounted, I must be tired.
Thinking that, I looked at Kagami-san, and she nodded calmly.
"Yes, five people. You too, Tsukiko, will live here."
"Huh?!"
"What?!"
My and Tsukiko's voices overlapped.
"Don't worry. I have permission from your family."
"That's not the issue! To suddenly live together like that——"
As she said that, Tsukiko glanced at me. Her white cheeks were flushed.
Kagami-san shook her head with a sigh at those words.
"That's why it's work, work. There might be enemies even within the Anti-Demon Official, and Yuusuke and the others don't know the details of our situation. It's only rational to have the most trustworthy person live with them."
"That may be true, but..."
"I have work to do at the branch, and it's better to have fewer people who know Yuusuke's true identity. If it comes to that, there will be no one else but you."
"..."
If it's put that way, Tsukiko can't say anything and fell silent.
I understand it logically. I understand, but my emotions can't catch up.
After having a proper discussion after six months, we're skipping straight to living together.
No, is it even living together? It's more like staying overnight at the workplace? But regardless of the name, the result is the same.
While we were confused, Kagami-san raised her hand with the energy of someone who stayed up all night.
"All right, let's go to the new house!"
"G, Go?"
Only Lisha raised her fist behind Kagami-san.
And that's how we, who were left behind in the situation, ended up being taken to a new base.
