Chapter 393 Masters’ Quarrel, Master’s Crisis
「Oh…. At this rate, they will clear the trial, huh.」
「It was unexpected, in a good way. It isn’t that Rimudo is holding back, so it’s perfect.」
Nell and I returned from the seventh island to the first island and are enjoying sunbathing on the beach in swimsuits. Ah, no, I was wrong. The sunbathing is just an extra, and we’re watching Haruna and the others using the 『Book of Hawkeye』. We may look like a harmonious couple who stand up a beach umbrella, lay out a sheet, lie down on and read a book together, but we are always nervous as we watch the trial. We are by no means doing it for half fun.
「Not only Haruna, but Chinatsu seems to be in good shape, huh. She was unwilling at first, but now she’s making a good face.」
「In Chinatsu’s case, rather than in good shape―― no, it’s nothing. You’re right, she’s in good shape.」
「U-Um, you two… what are you doing…?」
「「Cheering on our disciples.」」
When asked by Weerel, who seemed to be surprised while being expressionless, we answered in unison.
「Really…? It doesn’t look like that at all…」
「Fufu, you still have a long way to go.」
「Eh…」
「You mustn’t judge something by its appearance. Don’t worry, you will be able to understand eventually.」
「I-Is that so…?」
Yes, the other half is just for communication between a married couple, so we are not playing. I’m serious. Make no mistake about that.
「Ara ara~, you’re so passionate in front of the public. It’s nice to be young~」
This time, Satella came to tease us with a meaningful smile. That said, she’s also wearing a swimsuit.
「Setting Nell aside, I’m not that young anymore. Besides, age doesn’t matter in front of the sea. It’s the same for the others, right?」
「Well, it might make you feel young at heart, but… only you two who are doing that right now, you know?」
Saying so, Satellaa spreads her hands as if to tell us to look around.
「Uoooh, awesome! The rocky mountain is flying!」
「B-But, isn’t it dangerous if that falls? Won’t it cause a tsunami or something?」
「To think that I can see the gallant figure of the Dragon God for such a long time…. Thank you, thank you.」
「Everyone~! We’re holding a limited-time sale only during the Dragon God is flying~! We have a wide variety of Dragon God goods here~!」
Around the beach, people stopped swimming and sunbathing to enjoy the sight of Rimudo flying in the sky. Tourists were surprised by the sight, while the islanders began to hold their hands to pray. The shop’s employees, most of them are probably dragons, were eager to take advantage of the opportunity to do business.
From what I investigated before, it seems that Rimudo sometimes flies in the sky like this to have some exercise even if there’s no trial. On the other hand, the islanders celebrate it as a lucky festival called 『Flying Rock Festival』, and the whole island becomes a great fuss. However, since Rimudo doesn’t give any notice and it starts suddenly every time, the tourists who are present on that day are said to be lucky. It happens only a few times in a year at random timing, so it’s no wonder if they are excited.
「Well then, would you like Dragon God’s Island specialty drink for a couple? It comes with two straws, and it’s exactly the drink you should buy right now.」
「Crap, Satella-san is a saleswoman now, huh.」
「It’s just a part-time, though ♪. So, what will you do?」

「……… *Stares*」
「Okay, okay. I will buy it.」
I lost to Nell’s appealing gaze. Well, we can only do something like this now that Lily is sleeping soundly. Besides, I won’t be punished for doing something like this occasionally. Isn’t that right, Goddess Chinatsu?
「No, please make it three straws. Isn’t that right, Goshujin-sama?」
「…… L-Lily, when did you get here?」
When I turned around at the disturbing voice, I saw Lilyvia in a swimsuit next to me. What the, I was punished as soon as I said it. Goddess Chinatsu, just what did I do to deserve this? Ah, come to think of it, Goddess Chinatsu is in a state of confusion now. Damn, I never thought I would make such a careless mistake…!
「Hey, what is a useless maid doing here? Your bed is in the inn, you know? You can go and get some more sleep. If possible, don’t wake up again.」
「I don’t need your poor consideration~. I’ve slept a lot and my skin is in good condition. Rather, I think Nell is the one who doesn’t get enough sleep. Compared to me, your skin looks rough, doesn’t it? Or is it your youth that you lack?」
「I felt like I heard a lazy succubus, who has lived many times longer than me, said something about youth. Well, it must be my imagination. There is no way that someone who can’t even count their own age would be here.」
「I’m worried about your head when you put a human and a succubus together, but right now I’m most worried about your ears. Hello~, can you hear me~?」
Hey, you guys quarreling is not something new, but stop gripping my arms while doing so. You’re going to break my arms!
「Uwaah, it’s a real shuraba. Lol.」
「I don’t want to be like that. I’m going to live a healthy life. I’m going to be clean and righteous like a pig!」
Yuba and Zuha, who were helping Satella’s shop while wearing an apron, passed by just in time just as I was in a pinch. Hey, this is not a show! If you’re going to watch, please stop them! My arms are in danger!
「Excuse me. It’s bad for my children’s education, so could you do that in a private place?」
「It hurts, so please don’t suddenly become so distant and use honorific. Also, please help me…!」
Satella suppresses Lilyvia, and I calm Nell down. I was about to be driven to the brink of death, but I was saved. However, the two are still energetic.
「「Grrrrrrr!」」
「Deris-san, as someone who seduced them, you have to control them properly, okay? You see, it will be a nuisance to other customers. Also, stopping a member of the Great Eight Demons is not my job, you know?」
「I’m sorry about that, but please don’t act like a stranger all of a sudden. Nell, calm down. Now is not the time for this.」
「Muu. Well, you’re right….」
「That’s right! As Touko-chan’s master, I think I have an obligation to check the situation with that book too! I mean, that was my plan! I don’t care about Nell or Hund or whatever, but I’m worried about Touko-chan!」
「「Hee…」」
It was a passionate speech that’s hard to believe coming from someone who was just sleeping soundly a moment ago.
「Cough! The trial of Rimudo is coming to a climax, and as their masters, it’s not the time for us to be fighting. For now, let’s just watch them. Look, they almost reached their goal.」
「I totally agree. Come on, Goshujin-sama! Join us to watch over our cute disciples!」
Nell and Lilyvia, who have regained their composure, urged me to take a seat. They are not wrong, but I somehow can’t accept it.
