Chapter 88

c88: Gift

A strong nighttime oke me up

The sound of wind resounded within the roo s

I seee hour

Though if I speak of the hour I don’t knohat hour it is

I’ve grown used to a lifestyle without clocks but, there are times when I miss them

「……Maybe I should, go wash my hands」

It’s cold and, theis still distant

I want to avoid causing an unexpected incident by enduring strangely here

……I want to avoid that

Getting out of ht’s chill permeates my body

Since it’s a harsh season to wander about with only a negligee, I put on a cardigan

Exiting to the hallway the ives dim illumination

Even at night the securityaren’t they

Night shi+ft, good work

It’s a good chance sotheir best a shout out

Going around calling out to theit at a level that doesn’t trouble the from the first floor’s book room

When I tried looking inside, the person that I expected to a degree was staring at a book

「Saira」

「A, Alice-san」

Calling out to her as I approached, she raised her face fro around

「You’re still studying this deep in the night?」

「Hai desu nya, since it seee for oneesan’s sill firm with a bit more effort」

「Is that so, thanks then」

When saying either sorry or thanks, it’s thanks isn’t it

「Since I’ nya……」

Saira looked at the book, while

I circled around Saira’s back and took a look at that

It was a book with a picture of a katana on it

I guess that for blackse are precious?

「The real thing huh, since oneechan’s sword broke」

That wouldabout the royal capital’s weapon stores and searching them?

「Saira, want to see about searching the weapon stores?」

「Actually I’ve already finished searching through most of the royal capital’s weapon stores……」

She’s that coent Saira after alll

Then what should I do?

If it’s not in the royal capital then, Wilton?

No, rather than that if it’s the weapon called a katana then isn’t it most likely to be in Sacrament?

The Raikiri that Leoneil held was also like that

If I’ to Sacrah

U～n

But before setting out to distant lands, it wouldn’t be bad to try and look into connections in the royal capital besides the weapon shops would it

「Saira, want to go out to though」

「Of course it’s okay! In order to al with effort nya!」

Her eyes sparkled in such depths of night

「Then please keep it in moderation and sleep okay?」

「It’s alright!」

Though I feel that that reply is strange issn’t it

S bitterly, I embraced Saira’s body that was smaller statured and more delicate than my own from behind

「Forcing yourself is

forbidden you know」

「A, Alice-sann」

It ht have been from nervousness, Saira’s ears perked up

Those ears, are co arren’t they

Huh, saying that since Saira has cute animal ears……a tail is?

Though we’ve entered a hot spring together, I didn’t look that far

……No, didn’t look, I didn’t look

「Ah, ano……Alice-san?」

Saira looked up to me as she was bewildered within my embrace

「……Saira, you, do you not have so from me?」

「Eh, eeh!?」

The Saira flusteredlya commotion is cute

I sed my breath, and resolved myself

「……Your butt, for instance」

「buttt!?」

Saira’s face turned pale, she flusteredly held her hand against her butt as if to hide it

……What could I be saying, me?

「tsu……ah, unya……」

Saira becomes pale, then she becomes red, she seems like she’s rather busy

……Isn’t this, sexual harassment?

「Please forget that……」

I separated fro on my actions

「Ah, ano! I, don’t dislike it so……」

When I thought that I would apologize I was preempted and, Saira raised her voice

Looking down as aze

That forhtly colored cheeks, made my chest throb

「That, so? Ano, un……Pay attention to your body okay?」

「Ha, hai desu nya」

Since saying that is the best I can do, I finished at that place

Leaving the book room, I returned to my room with a quick pace

Ah～, that surprised me

Saira you, really are a girl……

Her habits are kind of cute

Entering the rooh

「……Ah?」

I didn’t go to, wash my hands did I?

「……」

I’m sure it’s fine

Un, I believe it’s fine

It’s grown troublesoed into my bed

The next day, I visited the slave co with Saira

Along the way the town’s appearance entered my eye as it steadily proceeds with the preparations for the soon to be opened thanksgiving festival

In contrast to the soitated city, the company stands silently

I was made to sit down and wait in the reception rooiven out

It’s the third time

I suppose at this point there’s no poison

Thinking that when I tried to take the cup into my hand, I was softly stopped by Saira as she sat next to me

I tilted my head and, Saira stared at the cup’s contents

「……It’s okay nya」

「Impressive……」

Does she have a judgment skill?

Does she know even this sort of thing?

Receiving authorization froain set out to partake in the black tea

It’s probably a high class good I suppose, I don’t sense the cheapness of iteot from Kran at some point

Enjoying that with the two of us for a while, a faed man with an eyepatch came out

「If it isn’t ojousaain」

「Beltran-saood speaker as always」

It’s the same man as always isn’t it

We finished our greetings while sether and the eyepatch

eyepatch lowered his hips onto the sofa facing me

「For whatever reason the surrounding countries have beena ruckus lately, it seems like this state of affairs won’t calm downIt would surely be best if ojousama took care」

「I am sorry for your considerationI will act with adequate due consideration」

I’ve been getting caught up in battles here and there or rather, I’ve been sticking h haven’t I

「However because of those sorts of circumstances is it not a business opportunity? Beltran-sama」

「Fufu」

Without denial or confirmation, eyepatch took the black tea left in front of ht it to his mouth

「Then, what sort of business brought you here on this occasion?」

After eyepatch turned his eye toward Saira as she sat next to ave me a question

Just now did this man, estimate a purchase price?

「It’s regrettable but, I believe it is not like what Beltran-sa」

「Oya, that is regrettableI had thought I’d be able to carry out a very good transaction though」

Saira’s value isn’t just what’s apparent to the eye

As if I’d let her go

「I was thinking doesn’t Beltran-sae of businesses but」

「Hou? Is this a conversation about so outside the slave trade? I suppose I certainly have spread my hand a little」

「In these ti aren’t you also well informed about the floeapons」
