91 Episode 91: "When I squeezed a slaves swimsuit, someone was listening next to me.".txt (1/2)
By the time we were done walking around town and shopping, the sun was nearly gone.
Aine's face was a little red from exhaustion.
We stopped by the Adventurer's Guild at the recreation area and shopped at the market, and while we were at it, we explored the market trends and went to buy a swimsuit, which was the last thing we did. Considering the budget, there weren't that many choices, and Aine didn't seem to be particularly particular about it either, so the swimsuit selection went smoothly.
'I would have loved to see Aine in her swimsuit, though.
'No. ...... It's ...... yeah. Not now.
Aine hugged her bags as they walked side by side along the seafront.
'You're my sister, you can put it on the back burner. Aine's swimsuit will be ...... after everyone else.
Aine nodded with satisfaction. With her usual placid smile.
And when we returned to the villa...
There was an altar in the attic for The Heavenly Dragon's Egg.
It's a ...... hobby.
...... It's not a job.
It's just to pass the time.
I'm just playing.
No, you don't have to make that excuse.
The altar was built by Cecil, Rita, Iris and Raphilia.
The villa of the Ilgafa lord's family is a two-story stone building with a ladder in the corridor that allows you to go up to the attic.
Originally, it was a place where the lord used to hide documents that he couldn't take out, but now it's empty, probably because we were going to come. The height is just barely high enough for a person to stand and walk. There is a small window on the wall.
Cecil and the others made an altar to place the Heavenly Dragon's Egg there.
Of course, it's not such a magnificent thing, they just laid a soft cloth inside the small treasure chest they retrieved from the Valley of the Mist to prevent the egg from rolling around.
The rest is in a vase with flowers that I picked near the sea and a board in front of the treasure chest that says 'You are welcome'.
It seems to be the first thing they say when a child is born in this world, but I wonder if it goes to Tenryu: ......?
What do you think: ”What do you think: ...... Mr. Nagi?
Me and Cecil came up to the ceiling.
Rita and the others went back to their respective rooms. It seems that from now on, they are going to show each other their swimsuits. If possible, I'd like you to continue until I return, but - as for the ”Heavenly Dragon's Egg” - it's a job that Raizika, the mummy flying dragon, asked me to do. I have to do what I can.
I'm going to check around the altar.
The box is solid. The lid is light, and can be opened from the inside.
The bundle of cloth is tightly packed to keep the 'Tenryu's Egg' from rolling around.
'Come to think of it, I wonder how big a child of the Heavenly Dragon is?
Mr. Rafilia said it was about the size of a man.
Cecil told me as he adjusted the position of the cloth.
''Then they say they suck in more and more magic and get bigger and bigger. So I'm told that when it hatches, it can open the lid by itself and fly out the window.''
Okay.
With a puff, I put my hand on Cecil's head.
'Very well. I think that's good for now.
...... was great.
As I stroked her hair, Cecil let out a breath of relief.
The Mummy Flying Dragon said that it would take about a year for the 'Heavenly Dragon's Egg' to hatch.
So, as a temporary place to put them, this is fine.
We'll put curtains on the windows later. Don't let direct sunlight in.
I've asked a merchant in this town to manage the villa. He has a close relationship with Ilgafa, so he shouldn't be prying. There's also the possibility of signing a ”contract” with him.
We're negotiating with the lord to let us use this place for a few years at a time. And since Iris and I are the brave men and women of the sea dragon, we shouldn't be able to refuse.
And no one knows that we're in charge of the Heavenly Dragon's Egg.
If possible, I'd like to set up traps to avoid intruders, but that's only after we cash in the gems we received and create a special skill.
We're going to be here for a week, so we'll figure out what the problems are and fix them while we're here. Debugging is important.
Eventually we're going to make room under the floor to hide the eggs. I want to make sure no one notices and that the hatched celestial dragons can easily come out of the ground.
So, that's why.
''Then stay here and be quiet until it hatches.
I placed the 'Tenryu's Egg' on the cloth.
The pure white egg was as warm as human skin.
When I was in the guild, it had been beating small, but now it was quiet.
I held it in both hands in offering and placed it in the center of the 'altar' that Cecil and the others had made for me.
'Then, Nagi-sama, please go to everyone.
Cecil stretched out his thin fingers and checked the location of the 'Heavenly Dragon's Egg'. Checking for anything in the way between the altar and the attic window. Checking for sharp objects on the floor.
Perhaps because the demon tribe is closely related to the celestial dragon, they seem to be more cautious.
''I'm going to stay here for a while and watch 'Heavenly Dragon's Egg'.
'Cecil can rest. This is the job I got from Raizika the Mummy Flying Dragon.
But Cecil is so serious.
If you don't force him to give you a day off, he'll try to find a detailed job to work on. Even now, she's changing into her normal slave clothes, but it looks like she's been cleaning the attic with Zorkin.
'Even Cecil would like to try on swimsuits with you guys, wouldn't he?'
............ It's all right. It's all good!
With that, Cecil gripped the hem of his slave uniform.
Looking up, looking at me. Lips glued together.
Then she closed her eyes, lifted the clothes at once, and pulled out the top of her head with a bang...
You know, I'm trying on a bathing suit for this kind of thing.
Brown skin and white fabric jumped into view.
Silver hair spread out like wings and clung to the thin body.
What Cecil was wearing - was a white bikini.
To be precise, it was an otherworldly swimsuit in the style of a white bikini.
The top is made to wrap cloth around the chest. It's what is called a tube top. The bottom was in the form of shorts that were cut down to just barely the base of the legs. The cloth is similar to the ”Chokoukyuu na Yuumigi” that Aine bought before, but it seems to be thicker than that one. If it's not thicker, it will be transparent. It's white.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work for you.
It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what to do. How is ......?
I couldn't get the words out.
Yeah ...... good. I like it a lot.
It looks so good on you.
I've been thinking for a while now that white looks great on Cecil's brown skin. The innocent color makes Cecil look pretty. And the silver hair tangled in it makes the mysterious atmosphere 50 percent more than it usually is. This is amazing.
''Doesn't ...... still look good in ......? I've never worn a bathing suit before, so ............?
Cecil is holding his face in embarrassment.
But I'm the one who's embarrassed.
I'm totally out of my mind. I can't believe I've just realized my lack of imagination.
I've been designing cute game characters in my original world, but I've never been able to catch up with Cecil in front of me. I'll admit it. My imagination is still not up to snuff.
More importantly, I'm wondering if it's okay to put ...... Cecil out in a swimsuit.
I'm glad it was a woman who was present when Aine was trying them on, but if we go swimming, men will see them too. I wonder what that would be like. Wouldn't that cause a stir?
I'd rather be banned from going out while wearing a swimsuit ...... No, that doesn't make any sense.
We've decided that we're all going to be swimming together on this trip.
If that's the case, should we choose a ...... less popular time? Cecil and the others, so that no one can see them.
”............ na, Nagi-sama. Please say something .......
What do you want me to say other than ”great”?
────?
If I had to sum it up in one word, it would be 'fairies dressed in pure white' - I guess.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out what the meaning of the name ”demon tribe” is. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work for you. I understand. I'm sure you'll be able to find it all in Cecil, its descendant. To be honest, I didn't expect it to go this far.
Nagi-sama. ...... Um. Hey.
I was going to take Cecil with me if I had to go back to my old world, but I think you should reconsider ....... Cecil in this form is too destructive. If you are outside in a bathing suit, there might be a localized panic. But I can't just ban Cecil from swimming for the rest of his life, so ...... that's a conundrum. What should I do ......?
'Nagi-sama ...... oh no. Oh no, wait, wait, wait for such ......!
'I couldn't bring my phone into this world. I was all by myself except for my clothes. It's a waste ...... it's really a waste. If I had a smartphone, I could have taken a picture of Cecil in this form and carried it around as a wallpaper .......
”I'm sorry ............ sorry Nagi-sama ...... I'm at my limit. Please forgive me ......
............ Huh?
