Chapter 13 As Expected, The Absurd Demons Friends are Absurd As Well (2/2)
[Thank you very much.]
[No, we’ll be leaving shortly, so please ask any questions you may have.]
[Ah, yes.]
I don’t know what his name is, but he moved to the driver’s seat of the carriage and we began leaving shortly.
For the time being, I checked the bag I just received—– as if it’s something common, a letter appeared in the air.
“Dear Kaito-kun,
We’re having barbecue, so I brought some comfortable clothes for you to wear~ You won’t be able to see the inside of the carriage from the outside, so you can change your clothes there~”

Ah, I see…… It was called a dinner party, so I came out in formal wear, but I’m pretty sure Kuro said we’re having barbecue right from the start. In that case, I’d rather wear rough clothes than formal wear in such an event.
To be honest, I honestly thought I was invited to a place more extravagant and dazzling than the royal palace, so I was a little bit relieved to change into the clothes that were given to me. It looks like a very ordinary shirt and trousers with a black color base, but I feel like it’s very light and easy to move around in, probably because I changed out of my formal wear.
Afterward, while looking out from the carriage which hardly swayed for a while, the carriage crossed a large gate and after about 20 minutes of driving, the carriage stopped and the man opened the door for me.
[We have arrived. Please be careful on your steps.]
[Ah, yes.]
[The venue is just down the road at the river’s edge. If you’d like, I can keep your clothes here for you to change into later.]
[I’d like that.]
[Yes. Then, I’ll pick you up again when you’re ready to leave.]
Bowing deeply again, I thanked the man who was receiving my change of clothes and looked in the direction he pointed at…… The open area on the river’s edge where we would have barbecue was immediately in sight, so I made my way towards there.
[Ah, Kaito-kunnn~. Over here~!]

After walking for a bit, in front of me…… was Kuro in her black coat she’s usually wearing, widely waving her hand at me.
A petite woman in a maid’s uniform, about 150cm in height, standing next to Kuro. She deeply bowed as I approached. (T/N: 4’11” pfft)
[Let’s have lots of fun today~]
[Y- Yeah…… Or rather, you sent me an outrageous invitation…… Thanks to that, the people on our side have been really nervous.]
[Ahaha, sorry, sorry. But, it’s alright. As I said yesterday, I’m only inviting my close friends here today, so you can relax~. Ah, let me introduce you. This child here is Ein.]
[It’s a pleasure to meet you, Miyama Kaito-sama. My name is Ein.]
Her platinum hair is slightly longer where the sideburns should be, while it’s relatively shorter around other areas. A petite woman in a maid’s uniform that doesn’t even have any wrinkles—– Ein-san deeply bowed her head as she greeted me.
I don’t know what to say… Should I say she has an unordinary aura around her or she has a very relaxed atmosphere around her? She’s supposed to be looking like the Lunamaria-san, who’s the same maid like her, but there’s something different about Ein-san’s vibe.
[Now then, since Kaito-kun’s here… Ein~ get ready to go.]
[I respectfully obey.]

[Eh? Ehhhhhh!?]
When Kuro announced with a leisurely smile, Ein-san bowed….. and immediately afterward, a wire mesh that seems to be for barbecue, outdoor tables, and chairs, which were not there a moment ago, suddenly appeared in front of us. What the heck’s that? Is that magic?
I’m surprised at the scene as if I’m watching a magic trick, but Kuro doesn’t seem particularly concerned about it and just turned her bright smile towards me.
[Since this was decided so suddenly, I’ve asked the other children to get some ingredients for us…… But I’m sure they’ll be back soon, so I’ll introduce you to them.]
[Ah, yeah……]
Trying to calm the surprise in me, I nodded at Kuro’s words—- but I heard footsteps getting louder with every step. When I turned around, I stiffened.
What the heck is that? My eyes must be playing tricks on me again…… but some kind of black, full-body armored knight walked towards me, carrying a winged lizard that looks about 5 meters long…… Is that a dragon? Is that a f*cking dragon?
[Kuromu-sama, would three flying dragons be enough?]
[Unnn. I think that should be enough~]
[ !? ]

Three!? Did he just say three flying dragons? ……Ah, it’s true. He’s also dragging two of them behind him, besides the one he’s carrying. No, no!? Wait a minute, my brain can’t keep up with what’s happening, you know!?
The sudden appearance of a fantasy-esque dragon, driving my brain to a complete overload, brings my mind to a halt. And from another direction, I could see huge green blob—- or rather, I could see a bundle of vegetables floating towards us.
[Kuromu-sama~ I brought the vegetables~.]
[Thank you~]
[ !?!? ]
Looking in the direction of the childish voice I heard, I saw a girl about 50 cm underneath the flying vegetables. Eh? A fairy!? A fairy appeared now!?
[Oiii~. Kuromu-sama. I brought the fish.]
[Ah, nice timing.]
[ !?!?!? ]
The one that appeared this time is really big! A giant!? No no, wait a moment!? I’m begging you, just wait a moment! My brain can’t keep up at all!

[Are these all the condiments we would need?]
[Ah, that’s right~]
[ !?!?!?!? ]
A full-length skeleton in a gorgeous outfit is flying in the air!? What the heck is with this situation!? A young demon girl, a maid, a full-body armored knight, a fairy, a giant and a skeleton!? That’s a whole lot of fantasy-esque beings gathering here, don’t you think!?
Dear Mother, Father—— I went to a party to eat barbecue. And now I learned—– that I should have expected it, the absurd demon’s friends would be absurd as well.
