顶级RAPPER潮水

「「………」」

The next day, after waking up with a not-so-pleasant feeling, we headed to where Haru and the others are probably having breakfast. Our steps are heavy. I won’t say the reason, but they are heavy.

「Ah, Shishō! Good morning!」

「Good morning. Um, you don’t look well, what’s wrong?」

「…Well, we’re just having a hangover. A few more hours and the alcohol will wear off.」

「That’s right. I hope that this bad habit also disappear together with the alcohol….」

「「「「? 」」」」

The four girls are tilting their heads. Yeah, there’s no need for them to understand now. Touko seems to have been corrupted by Lily, but after all, it’s just a dream. Yep, they don’t have to understand.

After that, we ordered a light breakfast and sat down at the same table. The food here is delicious, but I’m not completely satisfied because I have tasted Haru’s cooking. I guess this is another points deduction. This is a high-class inn, but let’s say just say that there’s someone better. It’s not that my personal feelings play part in it just because the owner is Alezel. It’s just that my evaluation is harsh.

「Danna, how long did you drink yesterday? After all, you didn’t come back while we were awake, you know?」

「Is that what you call the second or third party? You’re all grown-ups, huh.」

「「………」」

Touko asked so and Zeta looked at us with respect, but I and Nell couldn’t answer anything.

((What time did we come back…?))

Yeah, we have no memory of last night. It’s the usual thing. I won’t say anything more than that….

「W-Well, let’s forget about that. More importantly, from today, Haru, Chinatsu, and Touko will receive special training directly from Alezel. Are you in perfect condition?」

「Yes! I was refreshed by yesterday’s sightseeing, so my mind and body are in perfect condition!」

「Well, me too. If anything, I felt guilty for not working or training for a whole day.」

「You’re too serious, Chinatsu. I’m perfect in that aspect, you know? I do it when I have to do it, and I rest when I have to rest!」

「I see, that’s good. Right, Nell?」

「…… I want to puke.」

「Hold it for now.」

Unlike me and Nell, who have a hangover, the disciples seem to have had a meaningful day. I’m proud as a master. Oh, hey, hotel worker over there, do you have any medicine for overdrinking?

「By the way, what are you going to do now, Zeta-san? When does the ship to Al Nova depart?」

「Alezel-sama told me that it’s tomorrow. …… From what I saw from the battle in the snowy mountains, I felt that Haruna-san and Chinatsu-san’s abilities are very close to mine. So, if possible, I would like to watch everyone’s special training for reference. Ah, you can refuse it if it’s a bother. In that case, I’ll go sightseeing to adore Zex-sama’s inventions!」

「Ahaha, Zeta-san is so humble~」

「Oi oi, are you going to rub your cheek on something unknown again? Besides, being left out is not good. Let’s go together! Don’t you think so, Danna!?」

「Hm? Ah… well, yeah, I guess so.」

「See!?」

「That’s right, I also think that you should come with us.」

「Then, if Alezel-sama allows it, by all means.」

I’m sorry to say this when you’re enjoying your youth, but I have a question. What do you mean with sightseeing to adore the inventions? Moreover, rubbing your cheek on something unknown? …… No, let’s not think deeply about it. Zeta is a good and innocent girl. That’s just my imagination. There are things in this world that should be kept a mystery.

「Oh…. Everyone, how are you~….」

As we finished breakfast, Alezel arrived. Completely different from yesterday, she doesn’t look energetic. She’s holding her head with one hand and she’s looking pale. It’s not my place to say this, but she has a hangover, huh.

「Hey, isn’t your hangover worse than mine?」

「Who do you think was the one who started the drinking contest between us last night!? And by the way, did you two have fun last night? Hmm?」

「I don’t remember, so I don’t know about that.」

Well, I can guess it judging from our state when we woke up in the morning, but there’s no reason for me to say that. But hey, were we having such a stupid contest? It’s no wonder that we are in this state.

「Um, why don’t you take it easy and move the date? It looks dangerous….」

「If it ain’t Zeta-han. I’m sorry for showing you such a disgraceful figure. I want to do so, but I’ve got a lot of work to catch up on.」

When Alezel is dealing with Zeta, her complexion becomes a little better as if her merchant’s spirit is fired up or something. But even so, her face is still pale.

「That said, is it really okay? You’re going to have to deal with these four girls, you know?」

「It’s okay. I will manage it somehow――hm? Four? Wasn’t it just Haru-chan, Chinacchan, and Touko-chan?」

「You see, Zeta-san has decided to join us!」

Haru happily declared so. However, that becomes a burden on Alezel. It’s like going to play gold with a customer. Mixing business and golf while having a hangover, even I want to refuse it.

「…… Seriously?」

「Seriously. There are four people equivalent to level 7 that it’s dangerous even for Hund if the battlefield is not the sea.」

Well, in Alezel’s case, she’s probably confused about how to treat Zeta. Zeta is an important business partner. If I use the same metaphor as before, it’s like a professional golfer being immature by playing seriously against a client when the purpose is just to entertain them.

「Hmm, if Zeta-han is participating, I’m not sure how much should I hold back~」

「Alezel-sama, I’m the one who forcibly asked for it, so please don’t worry about my position. If that’s still difficult, then I’ll just focus on sightseeing today.」

I feel like the latter will be more satisfying for Zeta.

「Alezel-san, can Zeta-san join us, please?」

「Uhh, I’m weak when asked by Haru-chan…. Fine, I got it! I’m not a working adult Alezel-chan now! I’m the Unprecedented beautiful girl Alezel-cha――guehh! W-Wait a minute…. I feel sick….」

「Ugh…! Hey Alezel, you’re loud….」

The Unprecedented two women are leaning against the wall while looking sick. The hotel worker that I asked to bring medicine came back just in time, and I handed it together with water to Nell and Alezel.

「Deris-san, I’m very worried….」

「What a coincidence, me too.」

After a perfect mutual understanding with Chinatsu, we finally departed from the inn. Alezel hasn’t told us the place for the training, but I’m sure she’ll be fine after we reached there. Even though I have such a faint hope, I and Chinatsu’s steps are heavy. After all, Alezel is guiding us while walking totteringly.

「Deris, I’m sorry, but lend me a shoulder…. And if possible, don’t shake too much….」

I’m also worried whether Nell will puke on the way….
