293 287 宴の後の寂しさというが (1/2)
The cherry blossom viewing party has ended without incident, but unfortunately it's still going on.
The instructors, the president, the parents-in-law and the wives of those who stayed behind, however, are still drinking with the cherry blossoms at night.
Incidentally, Keely was also there.
Kaido was crushed by the instructors and carried to his room by Amiri and the twin angels, while Amelia returned with her sluggish mother.
The underage group was drinking soft drinks, but left at the right time.
Then, after cleaning up, we said.
Lord, dinner is ready.
”Yeah, I'm coming.
Every last one of us in the hall is coming back.
Ladies, over here.
”Tatte, you don't have to do that.
However, it's not just me, Suela, Memoria, and Himik, but also Evia and Tatte are coming home.
I couldn't push the pregnant Suela for a long time, so I originally planned to stay only during the day.
I got permission from the instructors to lightly clean up and went ahead.
Some battle-crazed demonesses looked disappointed, but I let that pass.
I was sorting the tools, bottles and other trash that I brought back until Himikku finished preparing, and just as I finished sorting the trash, she calls out to me.
I was washing my hands because I had just touched the trash and went to the dining table.
I saw her there, as she usually does.
Tatte was pulling a chair to support Evvia, but she stopped him with her hand and sat down by herself.
You will find that you will be able to get the most out of your work, but as an aristocrat, she is also an aristocrat.
I'm impressed once again, and I'll be sitting in my seat.
Suela and Memoria were sitting ahead of me, and Himik had brought the last meal.
”Please sit down, Tatte-san.
No, I don't.
But Tatte didn't sit down, she was standing behind Evvia.
Tatte, the landlord here is Jiro. It's only polite to obey the landlord's words.
”Okay, I'll take your word for it. I'll take you up on your offer.
At first Tatte wanted to work as a waiter, but unfortunately we are not the kind of house to do that, so I suggested she take a seat.
At first, she refused my invitation, but at the word of Evia, she took a seat next to me.
Smiling at that, I look at my seat and see Himikku sitting there too.
When everyone was seated, they clasped their hands together and said, ”Let's eat.
”Itadakimasu.
I say, ”Let's have it,” and Suela and the others say, ”Let's have it,” and Evia and Tatte follow suit.
The ratio of male to female at the table is strange, but that's a little late for that.
And since we are eating for Hanami, it's not a full-fledged dinner, but a light meal prepared by Himik, plus drinks on the table.
It's not a full-blown dinner, but rather a snack prepared by Himik, plus drinks on the table.
I don't know what to do.
”There are that many?
The after-party began with light chit-chat, but I was drunk and Evvia and I were still drinking slowly.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of your time with us.
It's not that you're dissatisfied, but at the same time you still want it to be fixed, but you admit that the act itself has an effect.
Evvia's face shows no signs of dissatisfaction, despite her complaints.
It's not so much a lot. She knows her place, so she weighs herself. But not if you think it's necessary. When the time is right, as it was here, and the effect on others is minimal, there is no one to stop her. She'll vanish and then appear.
She may be drunk, but still conscious, and the president's actions spoken from her mouth are unusual, but seemingly often witnessed.
”So it's like a ghost story. Do Suela and the others know about this?
I've only heard of it through rumors, but I've also heard of a secondhand account of the demon king's sudden appearance.
I've seen it from a distance. I think it was when he came to inspect the underground facilities, and then it was a disaster.
Hearing such stories, I wondered if this was a story known only to the top brass, and I asked Suela and her friends if it was true, but surprisingly, that's not the case.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.
When was that?
”Well, the only thing I remember about being an idiot is that they don't take me seriously anymore.
It's like a retired person holding an Inroku or a magistrate with cherry blossom tattoos,” he said, thinking about the fact that his impression of the Demon King is very different from the one he had imagined.
I'm sure it's the same when I first met him, but our president is a far cry from the image I had of the Demon King, is that normal?
In my mind, the demon king is a guy who smiles broadly, conquers the world, and brings destruction.
But since I joined this company, I don't even come into contact with that image.
......... I don't know what kind of image you have of the demon king, but that man is different even from the previous demon kings. I don't know what kind of image you have of the Demon King, but that man is different from the previous generations of Demon Kings.
When I told her that, Evia chose her words a little and then told me about the president.
It's a bit of a unique background, normally the position of demon king would be impossible to attain without a miracle on top of a miracle. However, he created that miracle with his abilities and stood there. Perhaps because of his unique background, he understands the importance of establishing a firm foothold better than any other demon king of all time. That's why he came to your banquet and said such things.
Shaking the ice drifting in the glass of whiskey, Evvia explains the reason for the president's appearance at this flower viewing.
The dungeon is the wedge that makes our longing come true. It's only natural for her to be concerned about the existence of a person who will change the dungeon. I've never heard of this in the past,
In the past, there was a vampire who became the Demon King, the famous Demon King of the Red Moon, but his nature and character were opposite to the current Demon King, and he was feared by both humans and subordinates.
There have been Demon Kings from the Dark Elves as well, but there are some who are highly elective and exclusive, and others who have a strong spirit mentality, but it's rare to find one like the current Demon King.
The more I listen to the story, the more I get the impression that the president is not like the demon king.
