Chapter 81 Extra Chapter 5.1 - Yuri’s elegant Heavenly Castle life, Part 1 (1/2)

Extra Chapter 5 – Yuri’s elegant Heavenly Castle life, Part 1

A beautiful morning sun that changes the color of the sky. The clouds are dyed in dark blue and only the edges are shining in white by basking in sunlight. The sky is much deeper blue than seen from the ground. Because of that, the change of the color of the sunrise sky was more spectacular.

While looking at the sky from the window, I am savoring the delicious tea in my mouth and drinking slowly. A pleasant gentle taste and warm temperature spreads throughout my mouth, and a rich aroma tickles my nasal cavity.

「Aah, delicious……」

Unconsciously, such words escaped from my mouth.

Not only the taste and aroma of the tea. It may also be related to the superb view that can be seen from the window, and the quiet and comfortable place called guest room. A super comfortable bed that wraps up my body, and a clean bath and toilet that doesn’t have any smell at all. Furthermore, a mysterious box that always provides cold drinks.

Everything is strange and interesting, yet wonderful because it is comfortable and relaxing.

「Or should I say, as one would expect from the Heavenly Country, with both its country and island floating in the sky. It is an unbelievable lifestyle.」

I muttered that and leaned my weight on the back of the chair. Although it looks like a slender and simple chair, its material is unknown and the level of comfort is unexpectedly good.

No matter what I see, I have convince myself with ‘As one would expect from the Heavenly Castle’.

After all, it is a strange country where its island and golems fly in the sky. Even Yanual-niisama wracked his brain to the point that he said 『I give up. I can’t understand it at all. What’s its mechanism?』

Ditzen-sama even seemed to have used an entire night and kept on investigating without sleep, but he still said that it ended without understanding anything.

「…… Well, it can not be helped. We will not understand what we don’t understand.」

I give up thinking about it and slowly take the tea into my mouth again.

Ditzen-sama as well, why can’t he enjoy the life of the Heavenly Castle obediently? He would have such a comfortable and new enjoyable castle to see.

While I was thinking such things, someone knocked on the door of the guest room where I’m in.

「Who could it be?」

Since it is early in the morning, I wonder if it is a maid or a butler? It is unlikely that Taiki-sama would personally come.

「Yes, come in.」

As I am walking towards the door while answering the knocking, the door opened from outside.

「Excuse me.」

The one who appeared while saying that is a lovely cat beastman girl. Today as well, her outfit is a beautiful yet cute dress like a dancer. Actually, I would like to wear it a little, but I gave up because of the high exposure.

「Good morning, Yuri-sama」

The girl greeted me with a lovely voice that suits her appearance. While looking fondly at her and nodding, I return her greetings while looking at her eyes.

「Good morning. Mea-sama.」

When I said that, Mea, the lovely cat beastman girl, was stunned for a while with her eyes wide.

「Eh?」

To such a voice of Mea, I tilt my head and a question mark floats above my head.

「What is the matter? Ah, perhaps, did I make a mistake in your name? I thought I had surely heard it was Mea-sama, though……」

When I asked that, Mea shook her head from side to side with her eyes wide.

「N, no, that is correct. I am Mea.」

「I see. I am glad if that is the case.」

As I gave a sigh of relief with ‘Hoo~’, Mea stared at my face and stopped moving. I tilt my head and a question mark floats above my head again at her state.

「……? Did something happen after all? Allow me to apologize properly if I was making a mistake in your name, so please let me know when that time comes, okay? It would be very rude within the royalties and nobles to make a mistake in the name, especially the family name. I received training to remember people’s faces and names since I was a child so as not to make that kind of mistake, but……」

When I said that, Mea waved her both hands in front of her chest with a panicked look.

「No, my name is really Mea, so you didn’t make a mistake……」

After Mea answered that, she drops her gaze as if to think for a while, and raise her face again and opened her mouth.

「…… Um, I have heard that Yuri-sama is a royalty. So, I presumed that Yuri-sama would also make fun of us just like the other royalties, or you might persecute us as filthy because we are a beastman…… so I didn’t expect that you would address me politely like this…… 」

Hearing Mea who said that perplexedly, I looked at her cat ears while wondering.

「I would never do something like making fun of you, you know. I have heard that the beastmen have a higher physical ability than us and they are a race with a strong sense of friendship. I have rarely heard of a magician beastmen, but there are many beastmen who left their names as great warriors. Why would I make fun of you?」

When I explained that, Mea smiled happily. It is a wonderful smile as if a flower bloomed. Her cat ears that are twitching with ‘piko piko’ are also very cute.

It is ears with long and fluffy fur. The fur’s tip is sticking out from the triangle of the ears. Her hair should also look good and soft. Her slender tail which peeking from under her skirt is also nice. Even though it is a thin tail, the glossy fur are neatly arranged while swaying restlessly.

And the person herself is also cute. A small and delicate figure, and big round eyes. Her mouth that turns into a へ shape a little when she is silent and becoming a pouty face is also cute. When she is surprised, her eyes become even more round and when she laughed, the corner of her mouth suddenly raises up. Her expression that changes frequently like that is also cute.

Looking at such Mea, I naturally broke into a smile.

「…… Oh, how cute.」

A part of my thoughts was leaked out from my mouth unintentionally.

「E, eh?」

Mea, who was suddenly told something like that, cannot hide her confusion as well. After glancing at the surroundings, I look down at her who was looking up at me. Seeing that her face is becoming slightly red, it seems like she is feeling embarrassed.

「That, is it okay if I pat your head?」

I said that without being able to bear it and took a step closer to Mea.

Then Mea draws back with her tail standing up and turns back hurriedly.

「You, you may eat breakfast anytime! So please come to the dining hall anytime!」

After leaving that much words, Mea disappeared from my room as if rushing out.

It is probably because I asked for a skinship. She may have been too surprised. It is a little sad.

After being alone in the guest room again, I stared at the door where Mea left and turned my head to look at the scenery outside.

Oh, the sun that shines brilliantly is dazzling. On this island, that floats in a place higher than most of the clouds, the sky is always clear. It’s inevitable because there is no factor that causes rain.

And I noticed when I was looking aimlessly outside.

The sun had completely risen when I noticed it. Mea probably came to wake me up because I didn’t come out at the usual breakfast time.

It must have been because my tea time while gazing at the scenery outside was so wonderful.

「…… Well then, let’s head towards the dining hall.」
