Chapter 46 – Morning of the 8th Day, Returning Home in the Morning for the First Time

The morning came.

I gaze up the unusual ceiling with a half-asleep head.

The smell of wood. There was a drafty wind, a thin wind caressed my skin and I shook my body.

I remove the multiple poor quality cloths that covered me. I lift my upper body.

This is the village chief’s house.

I was sleeping on a simple bed made by spreading straw, binding it, and putting a cloth on top of it.

If you look at the floor, everyone sleeps quietly with Sainos as the lead.

Somehow, these guys get up later than me. But I don’t think that I woke up too early.

「Mu, my liege, you’re already awake?」

I wonder if Sainos reacted to the sound so I raised my body.

Then, the other guild members gradually awaken too. Everyone has greeted me in turns.

「Good morning.」

「Morning.」

The last one who greeted me was Mira and I returned all their greetings with a single word.

I went out of the bed and moved to the entrance door but the village chief did not appear.

Suddenly, I remembered last night.

We all stayed at the village chief’s house for the whole night but the s.p.a.ce where the village chief can sleep has disappeared.

「Where did the village chief stay?」

「Dan’s house.」

Mira answered my question.

Is that combination alright? Does the village chief have no friends?

I thought about that in my head but I thought that it was not a problem for me to worry about.

If the village chief is not so popular, let’s make Miera the mayor.

「For the time being, let’s return to G.I.Jou and talk about some stuff.」

I told that everyone and left the village chief ‘s house.

Well, we have already made a rough shape so there might be nothing to talk about.

「Ah, apostle-sama! Did you sleep well?」

When I went outside, the village chief was already waiting for me. He lowered his head and greeted me.

「Ah, thank you. We have to return at once and prepare for the finis.h.i.+ng touches  of the castle. I’ll be back soon.」

「Is that so…? Then, we will be waiting for your return.」

When I told the village chief that we will return home, he replied in a disappointed manner.

「Ren-dono, we want be be of some help to you so do you have anything you can ask us to do? We’ll do any kind of ch.o.r.e.」

Dan, who was standing behind the village chief, took note of me and the village chief’s greeting and took Miera and Sherry in front.

Listening to Dan’s request, I thought slightly, but now I just found out that I did not have any job to ask.

「Okay, I’ll introduce you to everyone in our base.」

When I said that, the villagers who were watching the situation raised a fuss.

Apparently, it seems that only a legendary man,  like the one who built the foundations of the five major powers, were invited to apostle-sama’s castle.

Dan was unusually excited because of that.

「Welcome home.」

「I’m home.」

Head Maid Proudia welcomed us who returned by flying magic.

Proudia and the maid troops behind her, who bowed, raised their heads.

「Are they visitors? You didn’t contact us through the night and returned with guests suddenly… It looks like a typical example of an absolutely wonderful bad father, don’t’ you think?」

「I don’t think that’s absolutely wonderful.」

When I said that, Proudia looked at Dan and tilted her neck.

「The guest is exposing his foolish face but…」
