Back at ho, I asked Lina to cook so als before I told her that I have sothing to discuss.
"Lina, I have sothing to ask of you."
"Okay, I’ll do it."
Before I said anything else, she just agreed to help . That was too fast of an answer.
"Well, I expected that reply, but I didn’t expect it to be that fast. I’ll tell you what I want first before you tell whether you are willing to do it or not," I said.
"Okay, I’ll listen first," Lina said.
"It’s about your newest familiar and also one of our oldest ally, Sonia. Let’s call her here first," I said.
Then I tapped the soil that I carried around all the ti. There were no imdiate reply, but soon after, Sonia appeared.
"Sorry, I had to finish washing the dishes first in the hotel in lk. If it’s here, everything is done by Lina most of the ti. So I rarely had the ti to do chores. Also, I think that since it’s you who called , there’s nothing ergency that you need my imdiate help with. So I took my ti to finish doing the dishes first," Sonia said.
"...Why do you want to do chores?" I asked the ghost.
"It’s your fault to not use much anymore. I got bored," Sonia said.
"But you have lived your life for over a thousand years as a ghost and unable to leave this place at all. What did you do all those thousand years then?" I asked.
"I was not alone. I had the ghosts of my harem around . Even though we’re ghost, I could still have things for us to do," Sonia said.
Even then, she should not have any problem at all now since she’s helping taking care of the orphans. But why did she insist on doing chores?
Whatever. Not like I will know the mind of soone who has lived for over a thousand years as a ghost.
"Anyway, now that you both are here, I’m want to ask for your help. And Sonia, you will probably be busy again. So there’s no need for you to do chores. But for Lina who is already busy taking care of the house, you will be even busier," I said.
Sonia who heard that was waiting expectantly for what I was about to say. As for Lina, it was already obvious that she will do anything I say. She just calmly checked if the parfait in front of is still cold.
Yes, parfait. Usually, when there’s a discussion, there would be so tea to be served. But since she knew very well, there’s a parfait in front of . And since it has been a while since the parfait was served, so of the ice already lted.
Since I want her to focus on what we’re about to discuss, I started scooping the parfait with my spoon and eat it while we’re talking.
Whether anyone is thinking that I’m doing it because I want to eat so parfait and not because I want Lina to focus, I don’t care.
"Lina, since you have reached expert level, your mana must be improved. I want your help in opening portals to help us transport people to the designated location. After the previous battle, I felt like I was using too much magic. And there will probably a ti when I will do it again. So I need to make sure that for the next battle, it won’t happen again," I said.
"So by opening portals, I will help you to not waste your mana?" Lina asked.
"Exactly. Good thing we have already spread Sonia’s soil to many people. Sonia then can just go there, and Lina will open a portal to that location. Then Sonia will teleport again to the destination target, and Lina will open another portal there for everyone to enter. I won’t ask you to transport the people in the middle of a fight. But just to be safe, you can bring Elsie or Sunny with you. Will you do it?" I asked.
"Sure. I’ll do it. This way, I can help you a lot and not just at ho, right?" Lina said.
Yeah. She’s very supportive at everything I do. I’m really glad that she’s with . Though she was like the easiest recruit for us and the easiest to fall in love with . But I will make sure that her love will be rewarded.
"Lina, you can’t just agree with him. I’m fine since I’m your familiar and you’re the master. I’ll do what you want to do. But even though Roy said that you won’t be put in danger, that doesn’t an that there’s no danger at all. Ask him for a reward. Maybe even a very personal reward just for you. You need to be active once in a while," Sonia said to Lina.
Right. Lina, even though she cooks and do a lot of things to , she never asked for any reward. Just so praises and she will be happy.
"That’s right, Lina. I have never really give you any reward before. You can ask anything. As long as it’s sothing I can do, then I will do it," I said.
Though if it’s her, even if it’s not a reward and she just asked to do sothing, then I will do it as long as I have the ti.
I’m sure that Sonia and Victoria who often peeked at when I was with other girls knew that. But Sonia told Lina to actively asked for reward because she almost never ask for anything.
And hearing that she can ask anything, I can see her heartbeat was increasing. She’s excited. I wonder what she’s going to ask ?
"Then tonight! I’ll co to your room tonight and tell you what I want you to do! Just us two. Not even Sonia or Victoria!" Lina said.
"That’s okay. Even if I have to, I will give an order to Victoria to not approach my room later tonight," I said.
So is it so kind of night activity? Then I will gladly do it.
"So let’s inform the other first. Sonia, you can go to where Albert is and when it’s safe, you can tell Lina to get us there. Just by showing it to him, I’m sure that he already knew what we’re going to do," I said.
"Is that so kind of telepathy between brothers?" Sonia teased.
"No. It’s just what I expect from soone who is a king. Except for Lynn perhaps. I’m sure that even the other kings will know what to expect when they saw Sonia appeared and then a portal opened," I said.
Yeah. I don’t expect much from Lynn. Unless she’s actually really smart but she hid it really well. Though I don’t think that’s the case. At least Claudia is smarter than her. With Claudia by her side, they can rule the Empire well.
Sonia then disappeared. And then soon after, Lina opened up a portal to where Sonia was. And it’s right in front of Albert, Marie, and the twins.
"That’s not Roy’s portal. That’s Lina’s. I see, so that’s how it is," Albert said to himself.
As expected, he understood. Perhaps there’s really a telepathic connection between us brothers.
"Lina can get Sonia to teleport to anywhere where her soil was and then Lina herself will open a portal there. That will be really helpful for us," Albert continued.
"That’s right. Though she’s still just an expert level summoner, so she won’t be able to open up portals as much as I could. But it’s still helpful. As for transporting sothing huge like the floating island, I will still take care of them. Also, Lina won’t enter the battlefield. I won’t allow her to open a portal to the battlefield," I said.
"That’s already much better than if we just rely on Roy to do everything. Lina, I’ll ask for your help from now on. Also, you can also do this to the other kings. They have seen Lina before, but it’s best for them to rember her. Since she’s also your lover, they won’t dare to do anything to her," Albert said. Though he’s not looking at us at all. He’s just playing with his phone.
Soon after, I got notification on the phone. Albert wrote sothing in the forum.
[Prepare for a nice surprise]
I guess that’s how he’s telling the other to be prepared.
Then we did the sa to the other kings. And I properly introduced Lina to the others.
They have seen her several tis during eting. And they also saw my past. So they knew who she is.
But now, she won’t just be known as my maid anymore. But also will help us in the war. Though she won’t be put in any danger. I hope.
Then Albert told to go back to where he was when I’m done. Lina suggested that she will be the one to open a portal instead of when I was just about to open my portal.
"Roy, because Shirley and Miguel are not here, we have significantly lower security than before. So at least until one of them returned, I want you to take care of my kids. Luna is also in Cassau, right? They can play with her, Daniel, and the others there."
I was only going to be here to inform Albert about Lina’s participation. But I ended up becoming a babysitter instead?
Well, that’s fine I guess. I can show them how cool their uncle is. Though I’m sure that they already knew it.
