When it co this chapter in the on-san and Their Everyday Life'
It was a pleasant and cheerful feeling
As usual, I moved to the forest, traced s to see it there were any scales left on them, put on my clothes and inspected if I wore theic power perfectly, and then I took a deep breath, letting all of that fresh air intoover h the sky, the cool early sureen color of the lush trees was also pleasant to my eyes
Today was truly,
「Today is the perfect day to break so them anytime I want
That is why I started to casually stroll towards the castle'ssun
「Oh, Lavsama, welcome, welcoa! …… Or rather, what's wrong?」
Today I yet againoff the soldiers and went right for Kyle's house, only to find that thewife, Belga, who see a beautiful dress thata wicker basket in one hand, covered by so a staff
「You see, Kyle seeotten to take his lunch with him, and since my children are supposed to be back froo out and leave the house unattended I am terribly sorry to ask you this, but could you watch the house while I'ht off the bat, also co what should I answer her, but then I had a great idea
「Well then, if it's okay with you, I can deliver your lunch to your husband, while you stay here and greet the children when they coa's eyes widened in surprise, and she started to panic,
「No way! This is sieous! I could never trouble you like that!」
「You don't need to worry Truth is, for quite a while noanted to see the place in which they work If I'll suppress o there and make the delivery without any kind of trouble But could you lend h for a short while Belga looked like she was having serious doubts about this idea,
「To be honest, I was really worried since Sera trouble at school, I wanted to see him as soon as possible」
「Yeah, and besides, it is one of the reet her children when they co」
Hearing hed and s s of a mother of two children
「No, no, I'hted if they could see you Since they always seem so excited whenever you come around」
Oh really? Well, I kind of understand that, since I was not all that different when I was a small child
I was happy to hear that, and so I scratched my cheek with embarrassment
「I, is that so?」
「But, are you really okay with doing that?」
「Just leave it to me I'll see your lunch is safely delivered to your husband!」
I responded casually to still reserved Belga
「And thanks to that, I am here」
Since it would look way more natural than a hooded cloak, I borrowed a decorative hat froa, accompanied by a modest, yet cute dress in toned colors
However, Kyle did not accept the lunch basket that I presented hi like this:
「I can't believe you actually caical research center, but it's in the middle of the royal palace! Royal palace, you understand? Do you even realize ould have happened if you were caught in here, wandering without permission? What would you do if I wasn't around?」
「That is exactly why I contacted you in advance and caot a perical power Just in case I would stuuards See, I took various kinds of necessary precautions」
While I was getting a little bit angry, Kyle brought , spacious room that must have been either his office or laboratory I did everything that I could, so as he angry with ive up, as his shoulders dropped
「Do you really have risk your identity being revealed, just to see this place before you will be satisfied……?」
「I thought it sounds like a lot of fun, and let's not forget that I a in here is new to et about that
That being said, as soon as he heard the 'in fact' part Kyle laughed wryly
Well, he didn't seely left it and that and mumbled a short curse under his nose, as if to add himself some confidence
「Indeed you are, my friend, indeed you are……」
Just then, as I was feeling a tiny bit guilty, there was that loud sound of footsteps echoing from the distance, and when Kyle turned towards that sound there was a loud BLAM! noise, and with that the door to the rooorously opened
「Lava!」
「Hey there, Nectar! I came to visit」
As usual, Nectar was the total opposite of Kyle, looking all disheveled, windy hair and huge smile on his lips when he saw , Kyle?」
「My office is supposed to be protected by a et in?」
「Oh」
Nectar looked back at the door as if he only noticed them the first time, confirmed that there indeed was a lock on theuously at Kyle, who looked about ready to explode with anger
「Guess I kinda broke it」
Hearing that nonchalant answer, I could al inside of Kyle finally snap
「If you can so easily break the level 5 security lock, then you can fix it as easily, aht!?」
「Kyle? Wait a ive up!」
Kyle quickly ht hi joint locks, while in the meantime I secured soa
It looks like it was not the first tia an to put out the contents of the box, it turned out that it was h for the three of us
While Nectar was busy with fixing theus the envious looks, we began to indulge ourselves in bread, fried fish and boiled vegetables that were the contents of the box
「Ah! Hey, leave soet to eat once you finish your job!」
Said Kyle while wolfing down his share of rice, without even having the slightest bit of pity towards Nectar
Even though I do not need so as basic meals to survive, I can still adhted look on Kyle's face while he was eating
「All of this is si is truly exceptional!」
「It's only natural since she put so much work into it I barely even come home these days, but Bel understands that and supports ood wife」
「I know, right?」
Kyle shtly as he said that
Nectar sped up his work by a few notches and soon he was sitting together with us, gratefully eating away on his portion of the lunch, while we got him some more rice and tea
「By the way, do you have any idea what this o」
I was a around in wooden boxes around the room, some of them pretty ordinary and others really bizarre
Where did they got all of this stuff froician as running soe was selling ancient artifacts to aristocrats, wealthy businessy for theis that there are sos ing them all That's the reason why I was unable to come back home for a whole week」
Said Nectar instead of Kyle, as stressfully looking at the literal ht in front of his eyes,「I a theical techniques that ht be applied to the how vast icians in this country is part of the icians et sos that we cannot appraise by any means It is a difficult process, because we need to check their enchantments one by one」
「And even if that's done, there are stillfor their turn」
By the way, it was ical tools
I had to be extra careful with theed to destroy Nectar's restrains that fateful day
Still , being unable to contain by curiosity, I approached the boxed and took a peek inside of one of theanized from the outside, on the inside you could see that the items were neatly divided into swords, accessories, tableware and e Each one was labeled accordingly, so that it wouldthem a little bit easier
I could feel that none of the things in the box were eical power, but then my eyes were drawn to one accessory in particular
It looked like a huge glass beads or a transparent stones
Instead of being connected with a string, there were pieces of chains in between each bead, while each one of theave each bead soical power
By this I ic in the runes were pretty much non-existent, but it was there for sure
Because of that, the words themselves were really faint and difficult to read
'Absorption', 'Release', 'Reduction', 'Suppression'…… Things like that
「What's wrong?」
「There's soe, but I can't read it all too well」
I heard the voice of Nectar and I replied to hi at
I was getting a really weird vibes co off froical
It looks just like a nor, but maybe ---- I reach out my arm for the object
「Ouch!」
「Lava! What are you doing!?」
