I feel something moving, and at the same time I can touch it.
It's so fluffy, and feels so good to the touch.
"Master's smell."
Sniff, Sniff, Fooh.
What is this feeling?
It feels so good, I like it.
"Master..."
Who is that person talking?
I don't care though, I just want to keep playing.
"Master, Master, Master."
My eyes open little by little.
My consciousness begins to emerge and I know I'm close to waking up.
"Whoa!"
"?"
When I sit up, I see Kaede in front of me.
"Good morning."
"Yes! Good morning!"
...?
What is this strange feeling?
I looked down, and found that my chest is slightly damp.
When I looked at Kaede again, her face was very red and her fox ears were flattened.
She looks at me with downcast and wet eyes.
Toph!
"My Lord! Let's have breakfast!"
"Kyui!"
The door slams open, and Frau and Panda burst in.
Monica enters a few seconds later.
"Let's go have breakfast at a restaurant that serves pancakes,Kaede. We'll eat lots of sweet things together!"
"Hey, wait, Monica-san!"
Monica grabs Kaede's arm and forces her to go with her.
What's this?
Under the bed, there was a scroll used to enhance the sense of smell.
Pancakes with honey on top.
Kaede's face immediately breaks into a smile.
"Isn't it delicious?"
"Yes, it's very delicious."
"It's the sweetest thing I've ever tasted, I'm a bundle of happiness."
The three of them happily ate their breakfast.
I took a bite, but it wasn't too sweet, it was moist and it was the kind of pancake that makes you want to take another bite.
We only visited stores recommended by Monica, the Marquis' daughter.
"I was surprised to learn that elves live by the sea. I thought they never came out of the woods."
"Of course I like the forest, but I can't give up the comfort of living on the abundant food and ruins."
Is it safer and more comfortable to live by the sea than in the forest?
If Alusha heard that, she would say, "You're a disgrace, you've abandoned your roots!" and then get very angry.
"Monica, can you also use spirit magic?"
"Of course. I have a contract with a water spirit."
I used my dragon eye, and saw a fish around Monica's shoulders.
The fish noticed my gaze and hastily hid behind Monica.
I always felt that spirits were sensitive to my dragon eyes.
"From here you can clearly see the giant sword."
"It's so big, it's a wonder they made it."
We gaze at the towering sword from our seats on the terrace.
It is about 300 meters tall.
It's a simple design, but its overwhelming size makes it seem so majestic.
It's another spectacular sight, which you can't see unless you come here.
"Today we'll visit some ruins."
"Are they near here?"
"The ruins of Sinus are by the sea. It's a popular place for adventurers. And it hasn't been explored yet. There's a locked gate at the end, so no one has seen it from the inside."
I like the sound of that.
It's not a bad idea to get some valuables here for the trip.
If only for the fact that it's a ruin by the sea, it's even more exciting.
Ruins of Sinus... The ruins of an ancient species, whose purpose of construction and use is unknown, located by the sea.
The exterior resembled a temple, made of stone and crumbling in parts.
Near the entrance to the ruins, we saw several adventurers.
Apparently, they have come in search of materials to hunt monsters.
But why are they always wearing bathing suits?
We quickly went deeper into the ruins with Monica's guidance.
"There is water in the passage."
"That's natural, since it's by the sea."
"Isn't the lower level almost submerged...?"
"Yes. But we have taken all the necessary precautions."
Suddenly, Monica opened her chest to reveal her swimsuit clad breasts.
My gaze lingered as I watched the two mountains move with great intensity.
"Master, don't look!"
"Hueeh!?"
Kaede hurries to cover my eyes.
But she's in a bathing suit, what's the problem?
Besides, she didn't react fast enough when she covered my eyes.
I've already seen everything.
"If you need to change into your swimsuit, you should have said so."
"Oh sorry, do you need one?"
"I already have one, I have it in my luggage. But next time, be sure to give us a heads up."
"I'm sorry, I apologize to the cute Frau."
"Cute!? Hueeh!"
Frau blushes at the compliment.
"Aero Slash."
The monster in the hallway was slashed by the wind blade.
