Chapter 383 - This May be the Beginning of the Hardest Battle I've Ever Had

The Central Tower, just as its name implied, stood in the center of the city. The area around it was a huge plaza wide enough that it could house an entire village.

Even though there was still a day before the actual event started, there were already lots of people here. The population of the Demon Realm, where most were immortals, seemed to have a tremendous number, and even though you could only attend this event by invitation, it seemed that a significant number of people had still gathered.

Kuro led me into this really huge tower.

[Speaking of which, is this tower going to be used for anything other than the last days party?]

[Yes, this is where my family and the others subordinates were staying. However, the top 30 floors are for Kaito-kuns accommodation.]

[The size of this place is strange.]

Its almost as if the whole building was my inn Seriously, what kind of place is this?

As my mind was filled with both antic.i.p.ation and anxiety, I walked into the tower. The first floor was a large lobby with huge magic circles set up here and there.

[What are those magic circles?]

[You use them to teleport to each floor. There are so many floors in the Central Tower that it would be difficult to move around with just stairs.]

[I see Then, lets go there]

[No, no. Kaito-kun will be using the central magic circle. That magic circle that was built for Kaito-kuns exclusive use!]

Whoa there, Im being subjected to shame play even in this place too? Having to move to the middle of this wide lobby just so that I could use a magic circle that was exclusively for me The treatment I received was seriously so much of a VIP treatment that I couldnt calm down at all.

Feeling the stares pouring down on me again, I walked to the central magic circle with Kuro and we finally reached the accommodation s.p.a.ce prepared for me.

[What is this place? Whats going on?]

[Ehehe, what do you think? Isnt it amazing?]

[W- Well, rather than about this place being amazing and all that Im pretty sure Im inside a room, but why can I see the blue sky!?]

[We can also go fis.h.i.+ng here!]

When I arrived, I was greeted by a vast gra.s.sland and a lake No, no, this place is all sorts of strange.

And in front of my gaze, there was that enormous

[Why the heck is there a castle here!?]

(T/N: . Imagine j.a.panese castles.)

[Its styled just like the castles in Kaito-kuns world!]

No, no, theres no one living in castles in my world anymore!!! W- Well, there might be some few but

Anyway, its not just a castle. The area around the castle was filled with Teleportation magic circles just like the one I had seen in the lobby, and I can imagine that those magic circles are connected to many other places.

[By the way, what are those Teleportation magic circles?]

[Lets see. Theres the swimming pool, arena, shopping district Theyre connected to a lot of places! Moreover, the magic circle in the back of the building can teleport you to various areas of the venue! Also, theres a magic circle in your room that teleports you to a hot spring!]

[Thats too many. I mean, theres even a hot spring.]

[Unnn. I think you call it a natural hot spring back in your world.]

[And where the heck is its water supposed to come from!?]

Everything was completely beyond my common sense. Feeling like my head was starting to ache, I walked along the edge of the lake to the front of the castle.

Reaching the front of the castle, the huge gate opened as if it had sensed my arrival, and Ein-san appeared from inside.

[Kaito-sama, welcome. As you may have heard, I will be taking care of you from today until the end of the Six Kings Festival.]

[Ah, yes. I- I will be in your care.]

[Well then, this way please]

After a polite bow, I followed Ein-sans invitation to enter the castle, and when we entered the castle The hallway looked like a palace.

[The interior is western styled!?]

[Ah, its alright. There are tatamis and such inside the rooms.]

[Unnn. I dont even know whats alright anymore]

Even so, this place was amazing. Every single decoration I could see in the hallway looked absurdly expensive I was really treated like a state guest, which made me strangely nervous.

Then, Ein-san showed me around and for some reason, we ended up seeing the bedroom first.

The bedroom was a tatami room but it had a bed placed in the middle. Yep. Theres a bed on the tatami. Lets not say anything anymore.

Also, the bed was too big. Its so huge that even Megiddo-san could lie down on it, and its on the level where I dont know what to do with that much s.p.a.ce anymore.

Also, for some reason, there are four pillows placed side by side

[Hey, Kuro.]

[Unnn?]

[Why are there four pillows?]

[Eh? I mean, ones for Kaito-kun, one for me, one for Isis and one for Shalltear!]

[..]

Eh? Why is she acting like its so obvious? She just nonchalantly said that us four are going to sleep together Eh? Seriously? Was that really the case?

[I- I dont think its possible but Are you also going to stay here, Kuro?]

[Thats right though? Were going to sleep together, so lets take a bath together again~~.]

[.]

Shes trying to kill me. Shes totally trying to wipe out my reasoning.

Being in a situation like this for 7 days, what the heck am I supposed to do? No, this isnt a joking matter here.

As I was stunned by the words I heard, Ein-san came close to me and quietly whispered into my ear.

[If Kaito-sama so desires, I can also take care of the nightly duties. At that moment, please feel free to instruct me however you like.]

Why the heck are you partic.i.p.ating in the battle!? Stop it please! Dont whisper in my ear with that erotic voice of yours! Thats super effective on virgins like me, you know!?

I- I wondered why, but I somehow felt faintly anxious about the future Will I be able to get through the Six Kings Festival in one piece?

Dear Mom, Dad The accommodation facility that I was shown was out of the ordinary in every way. What was even more shocking was that I would be staying with Kuro and the others during the Six King Festival. Perhaps This may be the beginning of the hardest battle Ive ever had.

Today is the first anniversary of this work. Thank you for everyones support. It is thanks to everyone that we have come this far.

Im holding a popularity contest for the first anniversary in the activity report, feel free to partic.i.p.ate if you like.

Also, theres a reason why I put an end to the chapter here Its because the next chapter is in Kuros POV. No, its not that the author is trying to make sure that the main heroine gets the votes, you know? I do favor her, though..
