A+ A- Chapter 45

Chapter 45 Alchemist of Peach

Chirp, chirp, chirp.

Good morning everyone, Nobusada here.

The pain on my head gradually worsened by the last volley of liquor. Wonder if Cure Potion doesn't cure hangovers. Yet, I still got up, was it because it's an occupational disease?

Sefi-san has loosened her grip too, she's currently lying listlessly in the bed.

Hey you my neighbor, Sefi-san. Did ya always take off your clothes when sleeping. She's so sexy I feel like I'd lose myself and attack her, but the gentleman known as pervert inside me gradually dawn that's not what I want, so I quietly get out of the bed.

Mitama and Bell are also sleeping in this room after all.

I used Clear on the scattered plates all at once and collected them. I put the remaining food into lunchbox sized stone storages, leaving out only the Flame Dog's furnitures. I'd wager that Bell and Mitama would probably eat them later.

I finished with around three lunchboxes worth of food with me.

But really, Mitama looks real blissful in her sleep. It tickles my mischievous mind.

Squish squish

I poked on her smiling cheeks. The feel of the soft squishy skin is so good. Oh crap, does this count as some form of assault?

Squish squish

I can't stop, I won't stop. No I should stop. I should control my slightly tingled sadistic heart and return the plates back to the first floor.

With the Lunar Cat on my waist, I got out of the room while carrying the plates.

I met Storm-san's mother at the kitchen when I brought the plates in, thus I gave my thanks and apologized for the racket last night, but she laughed it off saying Oh don't sweat it, it was tame compared to our regular adventurers. This very image of lady of character laughed heartily while her chest was launching up and down. Really, no-bra huh.

I asked if I could do practice swings at the backyard, and she gave me the OK, so I went out to it.

SWOOSH SWOOSH

I focus myself and wield the Lunar Cat. Swinging it while imagining myself squaring off against Master, carefully choosing my Kata. I could feel the katana getting ever so slightly more familiar in my hand. I want to be able to wield it like it's part of my limbs one day.

After sweating for about an hour, I went back to the room and was met with the sleepy faced Bell.

"Oh, you're awake huh. Bell, wanna get breakfast?"

"Yesh, good morninf.... Ha! I will, I'm eating!"

Bell knows no reserve when it comes to food. Probably a habit from his extreme poverty days.

I brought a packed box of food on my way back, and toasted the bread that Bell gave yesterday after slicing it thin with magic.

I put some cheese on the toast, warmed it a little more and handed it over to Bell. Looking at Bell who stuffed his mouth full with it makes me rethink how much he looks like a squirrel once again. My niece was like this too when she was little, I thought a bit seriously. Bell is a man though.

"...Something smells nice."

Growl----

Mitama who woke up from the scent let out a cute growl.

"Mitama, want some?"

She nodded and took a seat, her eyes were asking, 'is it ready yet~?' I broke into smiles when I saw that. I quickly make another like earlier for Mitama.

"...By the way."

"Hm?"

"...Are Sefi-san and Nobu, in an adult relationship?"

BWOFH

I reflexively spew out the juice in my mouth. What is this girl saying. Look, Bell on the other side is wet with juice now. I apologized to him and handed him a towel.

"What is

this about?"

"...You two were sleeping together in the same bed this morning. Unfair."

She saw that huh... but what does she mean by unfair. We did sleep together though yeah. Look, next to me Bell is turning beet red.

"We're still not in a relationship. I haven't done anything either."

"...Really?"

"Yup."

"...Then it's ok."

Just what's going on Mitama-san. She stealthily struck a 'hell yeah' pose.

"...Thanks for the food. Thank you Nobu. Later then."

"O-ou"

Then she quickly got out of the room. What was that anyway. Her free-spirited part is really like a cat.

And Sefi-san is still knocked out even now. I've checked out already you know.

Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves at the party this time.

There was that part where Master who was still suffering from hangover getting dragged away by his subordinates, but it was mostly problem free! Would be nice if we all can get together again sometime.
