Chapter 93 – An Eraser in the Head

「Lucio-chan! Look at this?」

Balthazar suddenly entered the room, and showed me a bentou box.

There were colorful dishes placed inside the bentou box, and it looks very delicious.

「That looks delicious. What’s up with this」

「I asked Sylvia-chan to help, we made it together you know?」

「He〜. Balthazar made it huh」

「Call Bal, Hacchan?」

Balthazar said just like always.

Nadia is calling her “Hacchan” just like she wanted to, but somehow, I feel uncomfortable calling her that.

So to dodge the question, I reached out my hand and tried to pick one of the dishesーーthe octopus sausage.

But, she pulled it back before I picked it.

「No, this is Bal’s you know?」

「Ahh, you didn’t make it for me to eat」

「Bal is going to go out a little right now, so it’s a bentou for that you know」

「You’re going out」

I got a little surprised.

Balthazar who had always stuck with me since she came to our house is going on a trip huh.

Looking at the bentou, it looks like she’s going out alone.

I’m a little worried.

No, although she’s like this, she’s the incarnation of the Demon King so there shouldn’t be any danger, but somehow, I’m worried.

「Do you want me to go with you」

「Lucio-chan shouldn’t come you know」

「I shouldn’t huh」

「Un, Bal’s going alone」

U〜n.

I dunno. I couldn’t figure out her movement pattern that is different from usual.

The more I got clueless, the more I got worried.

「Should we ask Coco to go with her?」

Behind Balthazar, Veronica said from the corridor outside the room.

「You were listening」

「Yes」

Nodding, she turned towards Balthazar.

「Can I ask you to do that? Coco has yet to go on her walk」

「……un! Okay」

Balthazar thought for a moment, then nodded clearly.

The three of us went to the yard, and Veronica called over Coco who was playing in the yard.

「What is it〜, Mama-sama」

「We’re going for a walk. Today, she’s going to take her with you」

「Wa〜i」

Coco got very delighted, and took out the lead from her pocket.

She put it on her wrist, and pa.s.ses the other end to Balthazar.

The dog-eared Coco, just like this, she puts on the lead on her wrist, and likes to be taken for a walk with someone holding it.

Recently it’s Mama-samaーーVeronica who is always doing it.

That’s why, she reached out the lead just as usual, but.

「Wa〜i」

Balthazar didn’t receive it.

She raised a happy voice just how Coco did, and hugs her.

She places her arms around her, and embraces her just like hanging on her.

Coco who was holding the lead got confused.

「Mama-sama?」

「Since it’s she’s like that, just go along with her」

「……yes, I understood〜」

She started to walk like, “Since it’s the order of Mama-sama that I really love”.

Balthazar hugs her like hanging on her while holding the bentou box, and walked with her walking tiptoed.

We saw off the two, finally, they went out of the mansion, and we can’t see them anymore.

「They’re making us worried」

「Honestly, I completely agree. It’s the first time that Balthazar would leave alone after all」

「If you’re worried, you want to go? You could use magic that would make you invisible right. Shouldn’t you just follow them while using that?」

「It’s Balthazar after all, if I do that, I feel like she’d find out like『Wa〜i, it’s Lucio-chan’s smell〜』」

「That’s seems very likely」

Nodding, Veronica agreed.

「Then, you can only keep your fingers and wait」

「……『Telescope』」

I searched inside my head for the magic, and used the suitable one.

A fly-like creature appeared on the palm of my hand. And on its side, a holographic panel also appeared.

「What is that?」

「It’s a magic spell that would make what this one looks at, be shown in this one」

I have the controlling rights. I made the fly fly just like a radio-controlled toy, or you could say brain controlled.

And then, the panel’s footage also started to roll. It’s like a game screen.

「He〜, there’s also this kind of thing huh」

「I’ll follow her using this……if she finds out, I’ll think of it then」

I followed behind Coco and Balthazar by controlling the fly.

Immediately after I made it fly towards the direction where the two disappeared, I found their back appearance.

I boldly approached them, while thinking about the next magic to use if they find out.

「It looks like they haven’t found out」

「That seems like it」

The two haven’t noticed although it approached them very closely, so for the meantime, I got relieved.

Balthazar advanced while closely sticking to Coco’s neck.

After they had gone out of town, Balthazar got very interested in a lot of things along the way, and she would try to go there with flighty feet, but every time she does that, Coco stops her in a hurry.

「You wouldn’t know who is the real one that is letting her go on a walk」

「That’s exactly true」
