150 146 Leaving oneself to the stream.There are times like that. (2/2)

”Oh, sorry.

”No, I'm fine.

Katsu also returned to his usual form and made a fresh cup of coffee, and his Occan skill was activated.

I was just about to sit down in a chair to see if I could finally take it slow and wait for you in this atmosphere, when I heard a sound like something flapping its wings.

Lord, I've brought you lunch.

Isn't it early?

”What, I'm doubling as Suela's bodyguard. No wonder you're early.

”I'm telling you I'm fine,

”Suela is a pregnant woman, you can't wait until something happens to her.

”Himik is a little overprotective.

These days it is a familiar feather sound.

The slightly peculiar sound source was, as you might have guessed, a Himik with three pairs of black wings.

In the past week, it has become a familiar sight to see a four-tiered stack of boxes in each hand, led by Suela, who is a little more loosely dressed behind them.

And even though the fallen angel (Himikku) has appeared, no one is alarmed, rather they are lightly exchanging greetings.

I honestly admired Himiku's character for creating such a scene.

I remember one day a little while after the day I brought Himiku home.

At first she was confined to her room, but despite her fall, she didn't become lazy.

Rather, she said, ”Lord, what can I do?

”Lord, is there anything I can do for you?

After a short break, within a few days Himik actively sought work, wanting to be useful.

It's like a workaholic office worker who doesn't know what to do on her days off, and because she had no time to spare, she immersed herself in her work, but the feeling was understandable.

But now that we live together, me, Suela and Memoria were a little lost in judgment.

It's not a good idea to have a fallen angel roaming around the company, even if he's well aware of it.

Letting Himik wander around is like letting a rabid animal out of its cage.

In other words, now she's just taking a walk and could get into trouble.

But at the time, we thought it was a bad idea to ignore Himik's intentions without thinking.

Then how about some housework?

”Housework?

It was in our common understanding that it would be just as well to give them some kind of role, so Memoria made a suggestion.

It's true that the three of us have work to do, so it would be helpful if you would take care of this room.

”I see!　Then I'll take care of it!

Perhaps God himself did not expect an angel to do such a chore.

Perhaps because I nodded in agreement with Memoria's suggestion, rather than a crane's call, Himikku began to work on her chores from that day.

Of course, at first she couldn't clean, cook, do the laundry and other general household chores, but with her inherent earnestness and good physical specs, she steadily improved, and now she was better than any of us.

I once mentioned that she had a talent for this kind of work.

Really?　Lord!

”Oh, yeah, I think so,

”I see!　Then I'll have to try harder!

”In moderation, don't take it easy, okay?

”Oh!　I know!'

It's still fresh in my mind that Himikku was so happy that his dog's tail was fantastic.

Cleaning, laundry, ironing and cooking was completely left to Himikku's own devices.

In her room, there are more and more cookbooks on her bookshelf, or perhaps I go out and buy them from time to time.

However, Himikku's appearance has been changing.

At first she was dressed in casual clothes like jeans and a t-shirt that was easy to move around in, but after seeing some Japanese clothing in a fashion magazine, she ended up wearing a kappogi (Japanese cooking uniform) as her daily wear.

How do you like it, Lord!　Do I look good?

”Oh, yeah, it looks good, but what's up with that?

”Prepared by Memoria!　In Japan, you would be dressed like this to clean?

I failed to react when I saw the fallen angel dressed in a light green kappogi, but that didn't bother Himik, who was pleased to hear that I looked good.

And it's not hard to move at the sight of the joyful Himikku, is it?　And I couldn't make my comment that it's not common.

Well, I was convinced that it was fine because it looked good on me.

It was natural for Himiku to get involved in bento making.

It's a good idea to have a good time.

So in order to be of some help, Himiku started making bentos for us.

But here's a little problem.

We need ingredients to make our lunches and we need to go outside to buy them.

At first, Memoria, closest to the mall, was to do the shopping.

Himik would buy the ingredients he ordered and make his lunch.

That was the cycle, but I made a mistake.

I didn't have a bento these days, and I forgot to bring Himiku's bento with me.

Himiku noticed and tried to go outside to deliver it to me because we were in the same building.

It was well-meaning in spirit, and I never meant to offend, but the problem was Himiku's tribe.

As she floated about with her wings out in her usual manner, she was caught in the act of collapsing a staff member carrying equipment for a music video.

At the moment of the catastrophe, Himitsu held up the equipment at high speed and prevented it from collapsing, but the sudden appearance of the fallen angel caused everyone around him to panic even more.

I was called to the scene, and when I rushed over to investigate what was going on, there was Himiku, who was sitting there, looking like he was in a bad mood, surrounded as if he was being guarded.

It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

”I'm sorry Lord, I've caused a scene.

He sat there still like a child afraid of being scolded for his mistakes.

I was aware that if I did something wrong, there would be more commotion.

The only thing I could do for Himiku was to do my best to clear up the misunderstanding.

She had no malice in her mind, and she helped with good intentions.

Even if she was the same kind of vicious angel from the old stories, she had no intentions of doing so now.

Just that she was trying to deliver my lunch that I had forgotten.

Fortunately, the people carrying the equipment knew each other, and they understood and agreed with Himik's actions.

I think that was the beginning.

Rumors spread quickly, and before I knew it, the existence of Himikku was once again known throughout the company.

A fallen angel carrying lunchboxes and...

Thanks to that rumor, there was no need to panic and we were able to go shopping, even though one of us had to lead the others.

First the mall, then me, Suela, and Memoria, all involved in the lunch delivery route.

Before I knew it.

Oh!　Girl!　Don't we have one for us?

I'm sorry, but I only made it for the Lord. I'll get you something to eat.

That will be fun!

Combined with Himikku's naturalness, I blended in completely.

The supervisor's dismay at seeing this scene is best known to me, who was warned.

Come on, Lord, eat up.

At any rate, I'm glad Himikku has adjusted to it.

Now, let's have some before Kaido and the others eat us.

Word of the Day

That's a man you can't hate.
