The greeting and thanks to Gluttony-san went off without a hitch, although I was a little worried about the future. As a side note, during the tea party, a very happy Gluttony-san asked Natasha-san if she would like to sit with us.
However, Natasha politely refused, saying that “her position doesn’t allow her to sit on the sa level as ”, but her face looked slightly pale…… I think that unlike Gluttony-san, her taste buds are normal.
[Miyama-sama, may I ask about your plans for the rest of the day? Should I guide you to the next executive?]
Once I ca back ho, Pandora-san asked that. Her eyes were slightly muddy, but she was still in her proper work mode.
I an, the first executive I’ve visited, Gluttony-san, had quite the deep personality…… but they did say how “they’re starting with the decent ones”, right? Thus, from here on out, it would be people with characters deeper than …… Phantasmal King’s subordinates are kinda amazing……
[It’s still early afternoon, and there’s plenty of ti to spare…… The next one is errr, Astaroth-san, right? Is that person available?]
[There is no problem on her side. As a mber of the Phantasmal King Corps, as long as the timing is convenient for Miyama-sama, they should put off everything else and free up their schedule. If there’s a person who can’t even do such a perfectly normal thing despite being an executive, I’ll consider them unnecessary and I’ll get rid of them.]
[……I- Is that so……]
……Her loyalty’s too heavy…… Your king isn’t , it’s Alice, rember? No, seriously……
[……E- Errr, is it really alright if you lead to the next person?]
[Of course. However, please wait a little while. I’ll contact her once before we leave…… and tell her to take off her “stuffed costu”.]
[……H- Huhh…… I’m counting on you then.]
Did she just say stuffed costu? Unnn, I’m pretty she said that. Pandora-san said that she’s going to have her take it off…… Does that an that the person nad Astaroth-san is usually wearing a stuffed costu?
The first thing that cos to mind is the exquisitely annoying stuffed costu that Alice often wears……
As I was wondering this, Pandora-san turned to as if she had sensed my question, she spoke.
[Astaroth is an extrely loyal executive, and she loves to wear that stuffed cow costu that Shalltear-sama gave her a long ti ago. There is nothing wrong with that, but it isn’t respectful to wear that stuffed costu when eting Miyama-sama for the first ti without being able to see her face, so I will tell her to take it off beforehand.]
[……I see.]
Just by listening to the information she’s given , I can already tell that she had quite the deep personality…… She’s definitely one of those with buggy loyalty.
Visiting two people with buggy loyalties in a row…… and Pandora-san having an extrely heavy loyalty, how should I say this…… I shouldn’t be physically carrying anything now, but my shoulders feel rather stiff.
While I was thinking about this, I glanced out the window without minding Pandora-san, who was probably communicating with Astaroth-san using her magic tool, and suddenly felt sothing out of place.
Arehh? The World Tree in my garden…… “Has it always been that big”?
It kinda feels like it got bigger than it was a while ago…… H- Hmmm, I guess it’s just my imagination, right? I just replanted it from my room to the garden, so I guess it just looked bigger because of the change in the surrounding scenery.
As far as I can tell, just because it’s a World Tree, it wouldn’t grow particularly fast, and it also doesn’t feel like soone else made it grow larger…… I an, I just couldn’t understand why anyone would do that.
[……Miyama-sama, thank you for your patience. I will now lead you to Astaroth.]
[Ah, yes.]
As I was thinking about this, Pandora-san seed to be ready to go.
……Arehh? Wait a mont, “what was I thinking about again”? I feel like I was wondering sothing…… but I forgot what it was about.
Well, since I forgot about it, I guess it really isn’t that big of a deal……
[……There doesn’t seem to be a problem. It would be more of a surprise if people don’t notice it until it could grow accustod to its surroundings and manifest itself, so let’s strengthen the effects of “being unable to feel anything out of place” and “even if they do feel that sothing’s out of place, they would quickly forget about it”……]
[Shiro? What are you doing?]
In the Sanctuary, hearing Shallow Vernal mutter, Kuromueina, who was drinking tea with her, tilted her head and asked.
[I was creating a watchdog.]
[Hmmm, you’re “creating”…… a watchdog?]
[The details are still a secret.]
[……You’re not doing anything strange, are you?]
[I don’t think I’m doing anything strange though?]
[H- Hmmm…… I feel a certain anxiety with what you said, but Shiro-san hasn’t been acting so strange lately, so I guess it should be alright?]
[I also don’t rember doing anything strange before though?]
[……As expected…… I really feel anxious.]
Although she felt uneasy about Shallow Vernal’s secretive actions, Kuromueina didn’t pursue the matter any further. Since the incident in the past in the God Realm, Shallow Vernal hadn’t committed any major eccentricities, and in fact, she seed to have cald down due to her ntal growth.
……However, it was “just her imagination”. It is true that Shallow Vernal has ntally grown dramatically, but that doesn’t an that her true nature has changed or that her airheadedness has diminished.
Her ability to do random things on the spur of the mont is still the sa, and the reason why she has seed quiet lately is that “she just hasn’t thought of anything strange lately”.
