"So the so-called exercise is to deal with pests?”
"Hahaha, warming up before showering is also very important. Otherwise, you'll easily faint.”
Smiling lightly at Sakuya's dissatisfaction, Sixteenth Night bent down and picked up a few pebbles.
They were now in front of the villa where more than 120 children of No_Nome lived. The night wind blew through the trees and forest, which looked a little scary because it had not been taken care of for a long time.
" However, it's better to get it done quickly before taking a bath."
He casually threw the stone and then gently threw it out.
"Boom!"
"-better,"
The scene was filled with an exaggerated explosion that could not be imagined from his casual movements. The surrounding trees were all blown up, and at the same time, the figures that appeared were thrown into the air, causing the glass windows of the villa to shake for a while.
"Humph."
In the blink of an eye, Sakuya disappeared from where she was standing. She laughed lightly and shrugged her shoulders before jumping to the same height as her figure. She didn't know how she did it, but a white cloth-like object the width of an arm flew out from the cuff of her deacon uniform as if it had its own consciousness. It drew a beautiful arc in the air and firmly tied the scattered crowd in front of Sakuya, landing steadily on the ground.
At this moment, Ren, who heard the loud noise and ran out in a panic, looked at the two problem children in a daze.
"What…what's wrong?"
"Just a few bug-like intruders. They're probably the guys called 'Fores-Garo'.”
Sakuya dragged the white cloth that was so strong that even swords and sabers could not cut through it as she approached Hitoshi. Several intruders were dragged along the ground and groaned as they stumbled.
"What…What kind of power is this…? So the news of defeating the Naga God was true!”
"Hmm…if that's the case, we might be able to win against Jared in the game…!”
There was no hostility in the intruder's eyes. Perhaps sensing this, Sixteen Nights walked towards the intruder.
(…Aiya, aiya…Looks like I'll be busy.)）
"Then Sixteen Nights, Benevolence. I'll leave these guys to you."
"Oh? Are you going to peek?"
"No, I'll do it later. I have something to do and need to go out again.”
"Do you really want to peep at me in the future…"
Ren's face fell when he heard Sakuya's smiling face, but he couldn't tell if she was joking or serious.
After walking to a location far away from the building and confirming that there was no one around, Sakuya once again used the same speed as the spacecraft.
His destination was the white yaksha's boudoir that they had agreed upon earlier.
===================================================
"Hmmm ~"
Standing on her tiptoes, her small hands skillfully unfolded her companion's change of clothes and hung them on the rope. Lily's iconic two black fox tails swayed left and right, showing her master's good mood.
"Hmph hmph hmph ~ After hanging the clothes ~ I'll prepare breakfast ~ for the problem children ~"
Although Lily had been working since the sun rose, she was not dissatisfied with her duties as one of the representatives of the 120 children and a member of the older group who could help. In other words, she was very proud to be able to serve the "problem children"(Black Rabbit Language) who had solved everyone's water problem on their first day.
Today, the problematic children and adults were going to participate in the competition with other communities, so they had to prepare quickly. Fortunately, after planting the water trees yesterday, the water source for daily use had been ensured, and the preparation of food was much more convenient than usual. Although the community didn't have much food left, they had to prepare as much rice as possible for the four lords.
"Ah!"
Perhaps because she was in high spirits, Lily, who was unsteady on her feet, took a few steps back. Realizing that she would probably fall, the cute fox-eared girl hugged her clothes tightly in order not to dirty them.
Thump.
"Are you alright?"
Then, a refreshing voice came from above, making Lily open her eyes and look up in fear.
"…Ah!"
The upside-down face in her line of sight had a warm smile on it, and the thin frame of the red glasses made her red pupils much gentler. Because both of his hands were holding something, the handsome big brother in the black deacon uniform was obviously using his body to block the girl who was about to fall.
After thinking for a moment, Lily, who had reacted, escaped from his arms in a panic. She kept bowing and apologizing.
"Ah, ah, ah, Lord Huang! I'm really sorry! I'm sorry!"
Although she had only met him once yesterday, this quiet gentleman who always smiled had left a deep impression on Lily.
"You…are called Lily, right? She started doing housework early in the morning. She was really a good child…and very cute.”
"Sigh, sigh, sigh, sigh. There's no such thing! It is our duty to support the members who are participating in the Gift Competition. Please don't say that! Moreover, my family is a fox of the Inari lineage, so housework can be considered my job!”
"Oh, Inari, no wonder you have such a cute tail and ears…There used to be a cute little fox like you who always escaped from the shrine and slept on me.”
…Is this a joke…?
Not knowing how to respond to Sakuya's words, Lily tilted her head in confusion. However, Sakuya, who seemed to be talking to herself, covered her mouth and chuckled. She turned to Lily and asked,"
"May I ask where the kitchen is? Although he wanted to ask the black rabbit, he had sneaked into her room just now. She was kicking the blanket away and clutching her belly button, sleeping soundly.”
"Ah, yes! The kitchen is on the first floor of the villa…"
…Eh? Sneak in? Scratching the belly button?
Before Lily could react, Sakuya thanked her and walked towards the villa with two bags of things. Lily decided not to think about the strangeness of the sentence and hurriedly chased after him.
" Ah, ah, ah, Lord Phoenix, we will prepare breakfast and send it to you later. Please wait a moment…"
"It's okay. I'm just here to prepare breakfast.”
Sakuya placed the things she was carrying in front of Lily, her tone sounding as if she was asking about the weather today. Lily then realized that everything from raw rice to live fish to pickles, toast, cheese, eggs, Japanese and Western breakfast was here. And this amount was obviously enough to feed dozens of people.
"Where, where did these things come from…"
"I bought it from the street. If it was possible, he would have prepared the ingredients for lunch and dinner as well, but he didn't have that much time to participate in the Gift Competition.”
"... participate in... the competition?"
"Ahhhh! Last night, I went to the outskirts of the Sandbox Court to challenge some magical beasts. I took some ingredients and vegetables from them and exchanged them for these things after the shop opened in the morning.”
"…Since last night…did Lady Huang not sleep the entire night?”
Furthermore, it was not an easy task to travel between the outside and inside of the Sandbox Court, even though this was the outermost street of the Sandbox Court. Sakuya's casual words made Lily freeze on the spot as if she had seen a ghost.
"Hmm? What's wrong, Lily? Are you hungry?"
"No, no, no, nothing! Lady Huang has already prepared so many materials, I definitely can't let you trouble me to prepare them! Please leave it to me!"
"Hehe, it's okay. This is the job of a deacon. Lily, you don't have to be so formal. Just call me Sakuya.”
"How, how, how, how can you be so rude! This is absolutely impossible!"
"Hmm…then how about Brother Sakuya? I really hope Lily calls me that."
“……”
…He felt that the atmosphere around this person was completely different from when he met him yesterday.
Sakuya, as a follower, had always been at the back of Yao's command. She hardly took the initiative to speak when the black rabbit communicated with the problematic children. Lily had always thought that her status was lower than the other three problematic children. However, when he was alone, he was unexpectedly as friendly as a big brother next door.
"Well, how about we prepare breakfast together? I haven't even learned what the children like to eat. Can you help me, Lily?"
"Ah, yes, Huang Da-"
"..."
Under Sakuya's forced smile, Lily placed her hands in front of her and nervously grabbed the hem of her maid uniform with a red face.
After lowering her fox ears and tail in embarrassment, she finally muttered the name.
"... Brother Sakuya..."
"Hehe, good child."
The problem children and adults (in Black Rabbit language) were not as far-off as she had imagined. Lily understood this as a matter of course.
