Chapter 80 We'Re Back At Watterhill'S
It's been about 10 minutes since we caught a glimpse of the lights. Centrena, smoothly gliding through the sky above Watterhill, seems to know exactly where to land. She's heading straight for a specific spot without any hesitation.
In the middle of Watterhill, there's a wide open area. This is probably the guild's stable. I never thought there would be a ranch-like place right in the middle. So, this is where those horses came from.
Centrena gracefully descends.
"Thanks. Good job."
"Thank you, Centrena-san."
'Kuu'
The buildings here kind of curve like a golf practice range. Oh, isn't that Alesion running over from there?
'Guu'
'Kuu'
They're probably saying "Thank you for your hard work."
"Good evening, Alesion-san."
'Guh'
"Good evening, Alesion"
'Guh'
It looks like they're heading to the stables with his guidance. Wow, what a magnificent building. Oh? I think I've seen someone familiar somewhere.
"Welcome back, Soutome-sama, Rosalia-san."
"Thank you for your hard work, Orvitta"
She's Orvitta-san, a young woman from the Black Forest Human tribe. Even though she's called young, she's older than me, right? Of course. But I see, she's working here.
"Thank you for your hard work until this late."
"No, I was thinking of heading home soon, but when Alesion-san started running, I thought maybe something was up."
"I see."
"Yes."
"Oh, by the way, has Alesion had dinner?"
'Guu'
"I see. Well then, let's have dinner when we get to the stables, Centrena."
'Kuu.'
Rosalier-san jumped down gracefully. She lifted her skirt lightly with both hands and gave a slight bow.
"Tatsuma-sama"
"Hmm?"
"I will return to the mansion ahead of you, if you allow me."
"Ah, I see. Please go ahead."
"Yes, understood. Orvitta, please take care of Tatsuma-sama."
"Yes, understood."
It's so bright now. It was pitch dark until a moment ago. There are thin pipes running like power lines, and there's a Magic Tool on the ceiling that provides light. It's just like my mansion.
Seteas-san's inn had indirect lighting on the walls, but it's not as bright here. Only the stables for Alesion and Centrena seem to be well-lit. The rest is dark. Maybe the horses are already asleep.
'Guu'
I look at Alesion, and gently stroke his cheek as he leans in closer.
"Alesion, good night."
'Guu'
'Kuu'
'Guu'
Alesion swiftly returns to his stable. He really came to pick me up. Thank you.
"This is Centrena-san's stable. I will start closing up at the reception, so please let me know when you're leaving."
"Yeah, thank you."
"No, you're welcome."
'Kuu'
"Also, Centrena-san"
Ovitta waves and goes back.
Unlike the horses, Centrena's stable is covered with soft fabric. When I'm taken down, Centrena lies down there.
"Alright, wait a moment."
'Kuu'
I took three items out of the inventory. One is bread as it is. One is water. The other one is the main dish. A hot skewer without skewers. Lightly sprinkled with salt, ready to eat.
I placed the meat and water in front of me and sat down in front of me.
"You can eat, huh? Oh, wait a minute."
Should I cut the bread with a knife and sandwich vegetables and meat between them? Ah, she's waiting with her mouth open.
"Okay"
She closed it with a snap and smacked it. She then purred deliciously and drank some water. What is it? Oh my, it's so cute.
Then, this, this, and this. I cut the bread in batches, sandwich the meat with the vegetables, and it's done
"Okay"
'Kuu'
It's like Rosalier-san drinking alcohol. In no time, she ate 10 pieces of bread and enough food for 10 skewers. I have to buy it again.
'Kuu'
"I see, you're full. Anyway, thank you. Please get some rest."
'Kuu'
"I'll come back tomorrow. Well then."
'Kuu'
She just plopped her head down and fell asleep. The sound of her breathing is just like Rosalier-san's. Quiet and all that.
"Well, let's see, uh, this way?"
"Can I close up now?"
"Yeah, sorry for making you wait."
"No, it's all part of the job."
"Alright then, give my regards to Corbett-san and the others. I'll drop by tomorrow, so tell them that."
"Got it. Good night, Soutome-sama."
"Good night, Orvitta-san."
When I checked the time, it was already almost 11 o'clock. There's probably only taverns and such open at this hour.
Growll.
My stomach's growling. Ugh, I'm hungry...
It's been a while since I've been back to my mansion. The lights are on. It's probably Rosalier-san. It's nice to come home to lights on, huh?
"Welcome home, Goshujin-sama. How was your time with Centrena-san?"
"Yeah, I'm back. She ate a lot and already went to bed."
"I see. Your meal is ready, so please come to the dining room."
"Yeah, thanks."
▼
Wow, it was so delicious. Even though she only had about 30 minutes, there were so many side dishes, and the bread was crispy and fluffy. The mayonnaise-flavored sauce on the fish was delicious too. I spread it on the bread, and it was also tasty. I'm drinking liquor right now.
"Oh, by the way."
I take out my smartphone from the inventory and turn on the power immediately.
'Ping'
'Did you arrive?'
"'Ah, yes, I did.' Sent."
'Ping'
'It was tough, you know?'
"'What happened?' Sent."
'Ring-ring, ring-ring, ring-ring'
I turn on the call button.
'Uncle Tatsuma!'
"What happened?"
'Just because there's no prefectural ordinance here...'
"Hmm? Prefectural ordinance?"
'It's a violation of the protection ordinance.'
"Oh, I see. So that means..."
'Ugh, they were all lovey-dovey, hugging and kissing each other without caring about the place.'
"Ohhh."
'The officials and the knights were even feeling awkward. Thanks to that, we finished the morning training and it's already past lunchtime.'
"I see."
'Until around 6 p.m. for dinner, there won't be any escorts or surveillance. It's nice to be able to move freely. Even Maya, who is usually cautious, ran away to the lake.'
Oh, so that's what it means to be able to escape.
"I see, you're in such a state."
'Today is really bad.'
"What's wrong?"
'They were sticking out their tongue, you know. Sticking out their tongue.'
"Oh wow, seriously?"
'A world just for the two of them, within a one-meter radius. And it's in the courtyard, you know.'
"In front of everyone, seriously..."
That would make me feel uncomfortable too.
'Also, you know, around here, some people get married at 15 or 16.'
"Oh, in Daioraden, is 15 considered adulthood?"
'Exactly. But even as her sister, it makes me cringe...'
"Well, if I were there, I would feel awkward and uncomfortable too."
Hello everyone,
We have several works to share with you. Below are the details:
- A work set in a fantasy game world, similar to but not an isekai, where the MC, along with his childhood friend, becomes an adventurer. However, when his childhood friend discovers that he only has a level cap of 1 and the weakest magic, she betrays him and joins another party. What happens next? Read on here.
- An isekai work about the MC returning by death before being transported to another world along with his classmates. There's betrayal and conflict among them. Discover more here.
- Another fantasy project about an MC who is a magician with only enchanting spells. He is a member of a guild, reputed to be one of the strongest on the continent. However, due to the guild master and his fellow members not needing him as he is just an enchanter, he is exiled. Discover more about it here.
- Another project revolves around the MC whose heroines aspire to become his mother instead of his lover. Read this unusual story here.
- Our latest work also into the genre of Second Life. It's about the story of a former s*x worker who wants to avoid loneliness and find fulfillment in his second life. Experience his conflicts and resolutions as the protagonist progresses. Read it on here.
- Additionally, we have a worth-to-read project about someone who has returned from an isekai. The main character is a hero who has defeated the Demon Lord. However, for some reason, the human-demon war has resumed and will take place in the MC's original world. The MC, unaware of this, meets a Saint from that world and she asks him to join the war. But what does the MC say? He refuses. Is it because his pas love was rejected by the princess when they adventured together in the past, or is he simply fed up? Discover the answers by clicking here.
We hope you enjoy reading these works!
