When I went to the island cottage, Aine and Leticia were waiting for me.
Leticia is wearing a swimsuit and a jacket, but Aine is in her usual maid outfit.
'............ n'
When Aine's gaze collided with mine, she looked embarrassed and slumped over.
It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.
...... We all know what happened yesterday: .......
"This is the 'sticky coconut' that Iris and Reggie found for me,
It's great. I can make a tropical juice out of this.
How did you find such a rare fruit?
Leticia extended her hand towards me.
I held out the 'sticky coconut' towards Aine.
'...... Um, Nagi? Why Aine?
Because when it gets on my body, it's gooey.
....... I know, I know. That's why I want you to go to .......
Because when it gets on your body, it's so sticky, it's a disaster.
...... I know that. You have to give it to me.
Leticia reached out her hand from the side and received a 'sticky coconut'.
Puffy cheeks puffed up and looked at me.
...... because it's hard for Letitia to get covered in fruit juice.
It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for, because there's no way I'd know how to wash my body while checking with my best friend.
Rita brought some fish for you earlier. Now we have everything we need for dinner.
Now let the cooking begin. Let's go! 'Sis's Lair'!
Aine's wards wrapped around the cottage.
I couldn't hear the sound of the waves anymore.
It was as if they had closed the double windows, and the room was silent.
Come on out, 'stove. Give me some fresh water, 'tap'!
As Aine declared, a fire broke out on the kamado. The part where the pot is placed is made of bronze and has a shape that looks like a tangle of ivy. It's a bit different, but it looks like the stove in my world.
If you look closely, you can see that there is a faucet on the wall. This one is shaped like a dragon's head.
Is it like this?
As Aine knocks the horn over, water comes out of the dragon's mouth.
With the mouth on, Aine is making circles with her fingertips. It looks like it's properly fresh water.
'...... It's amazing, Aine. When did you acquire these skills?
Girls are automatically stronger when they're with Nay-kun.
I know that, but these skills are in a class of their own: ......
Letitia rolls her eyes.
'With this skill, you can live ...... any place. You can continue to fight during difficult quests without returning to town. What an amazing ...... skill it is. ......
Yeah. Letitia is right.
With this 'sister's hideaway', you can cook a meal anywhere. There's no need for water or fire. Furthermore, if you combine it with the storage skill "Big sister's treasure chest," you can travel empty-handed.
This is the strongest 'life force' skill worthy of the family-oriented Aine.
...... I never thought that becoming Nagi's slave (Dorei) would bring out ...... such an order of magnitude difference in her abilities.
Letitia got a lot of skills from you, too.
'Yes, but ......
Letitia held her forehead.
"It's still inferior to ...... and the true 'Chiitira' I'm not going to be the only one who's going to be able to do that. It's not that I don't like it, of course,......, but my position doesn't allow me to do that,......
No pressure, Letitia.
"Yes, and ...... I'm not the only one who is Nagi's slave but my best friend because I'm not one of ......'s friends? Are you all alone, by any chance? I ...... only one ...... only me ...... only me ...... ahhhhh.
'Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
'S-Sorry, sir. I was just a little tempted. ......
...... You don't have to sign a master-slave contract, Letitia is a very important part of my life.
I said.
'And Letitia is the 'righteous aristocrat', right? If you have something you want to be, he said, you had better go for it first. Aristocrats who take the side of ordinary people are very valuable.
...... That's right.
Letitia looked up.
She seemed to be convinced.
''I'm a 'righteous nobleman'. I can't be Nagi-san's slave.
Yeah. I'll do whatever it takes to help Letitia, too, if she asks.
Yes. I mean, we're best friends.
Then Letitia took my hand.
I'm kind of embarrassed.
Leticia is an aristocrat, but she knows everything about our situation and is here with us like this.
I was happy about that, and somehow, I was embarrassed. Letitia knows everything about me and what we're all doing and everything else. ......
'So, then! Let's go for a swim before dinner. Mr. Nagi!
Letitia feels the same way, she coughed out shyly.
I'm a good swimmer. Would you like to compete to see who is faster?
Okay. But I can only swim as well as a man?
Then we'll try to be fair.
"Fairly?
'It slows me down and makes you faster. If you're smart, Nagi, you're not going to be able to make that kind of adjustment.
...... adjustment.
Then we'll figure it out.
Okay. Let's get on with it.
Yeah, let's do it.
Hang on. I'll get Rita and Iris.
'Yes, Rita and Iris at ......, hey. Um. Mr. Nagi?
Ten minutes later
'Ilis, Ilis. I'll swim. Let's swim and forget the embarrassing memories! I will remember the scene when I washed my brother's body but ────!
Oh, wait, Iris. You're too fast.
So me and Letitia decided to put a handicap on it.
Leticia is a good swimmer. But I'm not so good.
So I had Iris to support me and Leticia was pulled by Rita (who was walking on the water) and we each went into the sea. First, we accelerated for about 50 meters and then...
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 8, 8, 8.)
Me and Letitia counted down to each other.
We counted down 10 seconds to each other.
(DETACHMENT!
I let go of Iris's hand and Letitia let go of the rope Rita was holding and started swimming on her own.
Me and Letitia made a mistake in direction and went to the beach.
With the momentum of Iris and Rita pulling us, we both rolled in a tangle and fell down, covered in sand.
'Was that ...... reckless?'
When I thought about it, both Letitia and I were going faster than I could control.
Iris in her awakened state is insanely fast in the water, and Rita is advancing through the water as if she were walking on the ground.
If you accelerate as fast as you can and let go of your hand - that's what happens.
There was no ...... competition, no ...... handicap or anything.
Me and Letitia looked at each other's sandy faces.
And then we both started spewing.
Ms. Nagi, what's with that face?
Letitia has mussed up hair too. And her swimsuit is off.
More. I don't care what. Hmm. Hahahahahaha!
You're right, it is...
Dusk.
Aine's cottage smells delicious.
Iris and Rita have returned and are looking at us with worried faces.
It's strange to see ourselves, covered in sand and with matted hair, in the midst of such a commonplace scene.
Leticia and I were on the beach, holding our stomachs and laughing.
-Cecil, Rafilia edition
Night.
After filling my stomach with teriyaki and soup from Giant Seabass, I come to the underpass.
It's quiet here, since Lane and Leanne the fairy are above ground, and the geothermal heat makes it warm enough for an evening stroll. It's warm because of the geothermal energy, so it's perfect for an evening stroll.
Besides, it's also the remains of ancient elves. You should take a look at them when you have time.
─ I'm not the only one who thinks so: .......
'Huh? Mr. Nagi? Master, what's going on?
After a short walk, I found Cecil and Rafilia standing in the middle of the two islands.
They are both in their loungewear, staring at the wall of the passage.
Hmmm. Hmmm... I guess it's an investigation. And I had a feeling that you two were there.
'That's great, Nagi-sama. Do you understand: ......
They are the remains of our ancestors. I'm curious, too.
Cecil looks sleepy.
Rafilia's is ...... somewhat different from the usual.
"You look difficult, Rafilia. What's wrong?
'Yes. I've been thinking. I've been thinking about how the ancient elves died.
Raphilia nodded with a serious expression.
''I've been thinking about how they had facilities like this and the technology to create 'replicas of the ancient elves' like me, but why did they perish?''
Surely you even had the technology to over-specify the islands with an underground tunnel to connect them?
The elves said that the original cave was converted by the ancient elves.
And there's even a 'childlessness spell' on the entire island: ......
I'd hate it if the only reason they died is because their magic went out of control.
No, that's how it ends: ......
How tragic the end is, that is. I don't think so, though.
If there was such a great tribal event, the earth dragon, heaven dragon or sea dragon would know about it.
''My ancestor ...... demon race was also unraveled.
Next to me, Cecil murmured, muttering.
''It's because the demon race chose to disappear quietly and not fight with other races.
''But the ancient elves made all sorts of items and facilities, didn't they? They were good friends with the earth dragon. So why did they perish?
I get scared sometimes.
Rafilia reached out and grabbed the hem of my nightgown.
"I'm afraid that in just a moment of time with the master and all of you, I'll disappear like the real ...... ancient elves one day.
I don't think so.
I took Raphilia's hand in mine.
I pulled her slender body closer and put my hands on her shoulders.
'No, I don't. It's not going to be like that.
What makes you think that?
"Rafilia and I are engaged.
I said, "I won't let Rafilia disappear alone or anything.
"I won't let Laffilia disappear alone or anything. You know that, right?
Can I go to ......?
Of course. What do you say we do it now?
Hmm.
Raphilia put a finger to her lips (lips) and thought for a moment.
That's enough for now. I'm a bit lonely at the moment. It's not so cool to have you as the master of ...... in that situation.
Okay.
I'll get you a skill that will allow you to "engage your soul" in a very cool way. I'll get you some really cool skills that you can put together to make a really cool skill.
How practical is it?
That's a secondary consideration.
Raphilia shook her large chest and giggled, haha.
It was the usual Raphilia.
'I will see the ruins of the ancient elves sooner or later,' she said. At that time, I want to boast to the graves of my ancestors, 'I became such a cool being because my master gave me to you!
No, but rather, the ancient elves only existed for the sole purpose of creating slaves for their master. I'm going to scream in a voice that echoes throughout the ruins!
'Don't do it because the ancient elves will be offended if they hear you!
Raphilia and Cecil declare with some kind of hot eyes.
''There's no ancient elf's tomb or something in this underpass, is there ......? You'll be pissed if you hear that, I'm sure.
That's okay. I'm not trying to pick a fight with you. Just .......
Raphilia thought about it for a moment, then formed her hands into a megaphone.
You ancient elves made me, and I'm having a lot of fun at ────!
I shouted in a voice that filled the tunnels.
"I just want to say...
I've been happy ever since I met Nagi and I've been ...... happy ever since I met you.
You're still embarrassed, Master Cecil.
Oh, really?
Since the fairies are on the ground, no one should be able to hear this underground voice. So I don't have to be shy about it.
But, but...
Tell him, Master. This is an uninhabited island, and there is no need to be shy.
...... Sure, maybe.
Tell him, Master. This is an uninhabited island, and there's no need to be shy about doing something a little embarrassing.
'No, I think you should be shy about that.
But don't you get a thrill when you come to an uninhabited facility like ...... these?
Raphilia held her cheeks with both hands.
'No one is watching ...... but you all are on the ground, and someone might come ...... inadvertently, and I'm about to become my open self. I feel like it.
...... I don't know what to do.
For example, you see that big mirror in the corridor here?
Do you have one?
Do you have one?
Raphilia and Cecil take me by the hand and start walking.
We arrived at the corner of the passage, a little ways from the entrance to the basement.
There, on the wall there, was a large mirror. There is a two-meter high mirror on the ceiling and on the opposite wall.
Is it some kind of magical equipment?
I investigated with Cecil-sama during the day. The only thing in this subterranean passageway is that room where the masters used to make love and this mirror.
I was expecting a hidden mural or a magic circle.
Raphilia and Cecil are nodding their heads.
There's nothing like it, sir.
It's just that they were built for stargazing.
I remember that they used the elves as observers and made them look at the stars to predict the future.
In the end, it's unknown if the ancient elves could read the future, and this facility is the only one left.
Maybe this facility is only responsible for 'breeding elves' anymore.
If the facility is still alive, there may be face recognition or biometric authentication.
I waved my hand in front of the mirror, but there was no response.
You can see only the reflection of me, Cecil and Rafilia in their pajamas.
"It's like a ruin or a ruin where only some of the functions have survived.
I'm excited.
I know.
And we're the only ones who know about it.
We're the only ones who can get in here and we can explore again whenever we want. Nobody else comes, the ruins.
Sure, it's exciting. ......
If you stay put, you won't be able to find anyone.
Cecil is looking into the mirror with a twinkle in his eye.
''It's like the 'secret base' from Nagi-sama's world story that you told me about before.
...... Oh, by the way, did we talk about that too?
I used to tell Cecil and the others about how I used to make games in the original world, and the anime that it was based on. Speaking of which.
'A secret base or ...... sure, something like that.'
That makes me want to study 'cool poses'.
With a jolt, Rafilia poses in her pajamas.
Ah. I've turned on a weird switch .......
'I know, but come on, .......'
That makes me want to study 'cool poses' in an open way.
Why do you have to take it off?
Because if you don't look cool with your clothes off, it's not a true 'cool pose'.
I don't know about that: ...... No, I think I know.
Maybe it's because it's the middle of the night and I'm getting weird.
I'm starting to feel like Raphilia is saying something plausible.
'How about ...... in your underwear?'
Raphilia looks at me with expectant eyes.
I wonder if that's the kind of thing I would ask for permission to do. I wonder.
This is the kind of thing that makes Raphilia so tight.
If I'm in ...... underwear, I'm just barely ...... there.
Permission granted.
Bah.
Raphilia untied the sash of her nightgown and took it off.
She was now in all sorts of risqué underwear.
Well, I've seen her in her bathing suit many times, and if you think of it as the same, there's .......
Then, I'm going to take various 'cool poses' from now on, so please rate me. Master, Cecil-sama!
Rafilia declared and posed in a pose similar to that of a shape-shifting hero.
Rafilia is always fawning, but she has ...... an artistic sense.
So the pose in underwear, with the arms stretched out with a swoosh - that's very cool.
And in a weird way, she's a perfectionist, so when she looks in the mirror, she adjusts the angle of her fingers and raises and lowers her arms. Before I knew it, Cecil and I were being influenced by his enthusiasm.
Ta-da!
You mean like this?
''Cecil-sama, you should raise your arms a bit more, your body looks bigger and stronger. Yes, Master too!
......?
It's nice. But it's difficult to see your body shape because your nightgown is in the way. Please strip me down, master.
Yeah.
Nuh-uh, if you put your off-duty pajamas on top of ...... my pajamas, I don't think you'll get sand on them. ......
...... I can't help it.
The tension in the middle of the night was still dangerous.
...... but by the time I realized that, it was already too late - and
'Ha! Huh. You've decided on your current pose, haven't you? Master!
This pose was ...... kind of magical!
Maybe next time I'll shoot some magic at you in that state. It might make a difference.
As expected of a master. It's a good idea!
We continued to practice our "cool poses" in the tunnels until we fell asleep.
......
...... Fluffy. It's cool, Mr. ...... Nagi.
...... muuuumuu. Now that's decided. Master.
What the hell is going on here at ............ ......?
The next morning, a horrified Aine finds him.
A few hours later, in a lake on the island.
My sister ...... is still beautiful today.
Hey, sweet Lane.
I was just strolling through the underpass earlier and I found a crystal ball, remember?
Well, the skill crystals. What's going on?
...... There's a Jiryuu no Enja-sama now.
...... Those people may have flipped a switch of some kind.
All that's left of ...... is a horribly complicated authentication process, but ......
Have you broken through ...... the authentication triggered by the movement of ...... limbs that even we couldn't decipher?
""What ...... wonderful people ......"
The fairies held the glowing crystal in their arms as they washed each other's bodies.
'Let's give this to them.
This is what they deserve.
The legacy of the ancient elves, the things they used to do.
"'Star reading skills'
With that, Fairy Lane and Leanne nodded to each other.
