(164) When leaving the island

Translator: Tseirp

“Ichino-sama, you’ve worked hard.”

In a certain hidden room in the center of the labyrinth, Carol came to greet me.

Sheena told me that night had already passed and it was about ten minutes past seven in the morning. In other words, I had continuously hunted monsters all night.

“Carol, did you not sleep by any chance?”

“Yes. Pionia-san has been constructing the ship so Carol figured that the least Carol could do was prepare everyone’s food — Pionia-san has already had her dinner and breakfast. Ichino-sama, would you like to eat now?”

Carol said as she showed me the breakfast arranged on top of a table beside her. That table wasn’t there yesterday so did she bring it over? I did leave the door to My World open after all.

Delicious dishes were lined up on the table.

Fruits took up the majority of the dishes but there were meat dishes as well. It looked like it took quite some effort.

“Did Carol make all of this?”

I considered Carol’s cooking ability. It’s a little rude but I don’t think it is possible for her to make this meal with her ability.

” … No, Carol isn’t really good with cooking so Carol had No.3-san’s help.”

I see, so Sheena made it. Just like Pionia, their specs are superb.

“I see. Thank you for helping too. I only munched on dried meat for dinner so I was feeling hungry.”

I looked at Sheena as well and said,

“Thank you too, Sheena.”

“Don’t mention it, it is Sheena No.3’s duty to help master. I am glad to be able to aid master before the end.”

As expected, Sheena had already given up.

Soon, the revived monster would come to destroy this island.

I went to train in order to do something about that monster but I couldn’t tell Sheena about it. I knew that she would oppose it and there was also a selfish reason.

(If I find that my life is in danger, I would most likely abandon this child.)

That in itself gave me an intense sense of guilt.

If I die here, Carol would also perish with me. Even if I sent Carol to My World, she would not be able to open the door that connects back to this world without me.

It’s not only Carol. If I die, I can’t tell what would happen to Haru and Malina who are registered as my slaves.

I ate breakfast together with Carol. Since I had to replenish my physical strength, I filled my belly as much as possible.

When I was about to drink my final gulp of tea, a large tremor hit our breakfast dining table.

“Master, please, it is about time you left this island. It is dangerous. The ship is already complete too.”

I thought that we still had more time but,

“I will ask once again. Even if I order you or appeal to you, you will not come with us?”

“Yes. Since it is an order from grandmaster.”

Sheena answered without missing a beat. She was adamant in showing her intention of not budging.

That Demon Lord Famiris‧Raritei also gave such an unnecessary command. Even though she has already died, that command still can’t be withdrawn.

” … I see. Thank you, I’ve been in your care. I want to show my thanks somehow but do you have anything you want me to do for you?”
