BXBX NOVEL Chapter 68: Nanami 5
Chapter 68: Nanami 5
The beauties that are gathered inside the living room of Hanamura house are making a lot of different expressions.
This must be what people called the calm before the storm. Everyone kept their mouth shut and didn’t say anything.
It might be because there’s the finest sushi in front of her, Marino-san is making a cheerful smile.
Nee-san whose expression usually never changes is a little down.
Ludi who keeps looking at me with her reddened face.
Nanami whose natural act made me unable to guess what she is thinking.
And Claris-san who just got back and met with this these various expressions and chaos atmosphere is making a confused expression to the extent that I almost feel sorry for her. For a person (elf) that is weak to unexpected situations like her, this situation must be difficult.
“.....So, what is all this about?”
Marino-san opens the conversation.
I thought about how I should explain it to them for a while but it’s better that I explain it to them from the beginning.
The fact that I coincidentally found her in a dungeon.
“....So I was capturing this dungeon and found her inside...I formed a contract with her and decided to hire her as a maid at our house.”
“I see Fufu. I wonder why you did such a dangerous thing?”
Her reproachful gazes are piercing me. It’s not just Marino-san, Everyone except Nanami also has the same eyes.
I don’t really think about it when I enter the dungeon because I already take the safety measure for myself.
However, everyone doesn’t know that. They don’t know that I have the complete knowledge of the dungeon and that I already prepared all that I can in order to capture it.
Looking from the other’s point of view, it can’t be helped that they saw my action as reckless.
I happen to find an undiscovered dungeon and enter it alone without contacting anyone.
Yeah, If I was in their position I would be furious too. I might be angrier than everyone here. Report Contact Consult is important. Let’s be more careful from now on.
Not just Marino-san, Ludi and Nee-san also severely squeezing out the reflection out of me. After I apologize to them, we finally enter the main subject.
“Well, Umm, about Nanami-san.....”
When Marino-san looks at Nanami, She stares back at her without saying anything.
Nanami is strangely well behaved. She doesn’t cut into the conversation, joke around or even open her mouth at all.
As there was no response from Nanami, the room fell into a brief silence.
The one who breaks that silence was Claris-san.
“I am against it.”
Everyone gazes point toward Claris-san.
“It, it might be harsh of me but I don’t know who she is. I have the duty to protect Ludivine-sama. It would be too late if something were to happens to her.”
Certainly, I understand that she would feel uneasy if I bring in an unknown person into the house. Tentatively, Ludi is still a real royal. .......since I only see how she usually acts at home, I don’t really feel much sense of a royal from her.
Well, Claris-san’s concern is unnecessary.
“Unn. Isn’t it fine since this angel was already under contract? I can guarantee that the angel contract is safe you know? If there’s a problem then it would be from Kou-chan, the contractor.”
Well, since it’s Kou-chan then it will be fine. Marino-san indifferently follows up.
The contract made to angels or demons is absolute. That was the game setting. Well, this setting was only used with that sub-heroine’s event, it was practically a setting that everyone forgets about.
Anyway, I think there’s no doubt that setting also carries over to this world. That’s why Nanami said that if I were to order her to tell me all the secret information she would tell me even if it means her own demise. I don’t plan to actually make her do it so I can’t confirm whether she speaks the truth or whether will she be destroyed or not.
“.....As you said, there’s no doubt that the contract was already established. I can never go against Goshujin-sama.”
Nanami said.
Can’t go against me huh. Even though she clicked her tongue when I tried to use polite language with her and planning to start a bad rumor about me when we can’t live together. Eh, does that mean I just got duped? If that’s the case then I can’t say anything to that debtful-sensei (Luijya). This is bad, I’m getting anxious......
“B, But... t, That’s right. What do you think Hatsumi-sama? She might be obedience but you will have a complete stranger living under the same roof you know?”
She must be thinking that Nee-san will be against the idea. Well, that was what I thought too.
“I don’t mind.”
“Haeeeeee!?”
She was shocked. I understand your feeling well. That was the same reaction I had just now after all.
“Lu, Ludivine-sama! If it’s Ludivine-sama then.......”
Hearing so, Ludi look my way,
“M, my most trusted person is Kousuke too......!”
She said so with an upward glance.
As expected of Ludi, I know she would have my back. Claris-san was quite surprised, She couldn’t say anything as her eyes are wide open and her mouth is keep opening and shutting. If she knew about the event that happened before she arrives then she might be able to react to this situation but her timing was just too bad, she’s rather pitiful...... Since I am usually in her care, let’s throw her a lifeboat.....!
“Alright, since it’s already been decided, let’s dig in.”
It’s sushi you know, sushi?. Marino-san happily said so while preparing the chopsticks and started eating. She doesn’t seem to care about this at all, it seems this is her favorite food.
After we finished eating, I took a bath and head to Nanami’s place. Apparently, Nanami was assigned to a guest room. It seemed like she had a talk with Marino-san and decided on a lot of things. I don’t know the details though.
“Tomorrow? I understand.”
I tell her about my plan for tomorrow. I will not be visiting “Twilight Grotto” but a different dungeon.
I part ways with Nanami and head toward my room.
Based on this matter, I decided to make various preparations before entering a dungeon. First, I will take Nanami with me to do a survey and invite everyone to capture the dungeon together. Well, I can’t enter that dungeon with only myself and Nanami alone in the first place.
“Haa.”
I involuntarily sighed.
“It has to be that dungeon huuuuuuuhhhh.”
The time has finally come when I have to enter that dungeon......! In a lot of ways, it’s one of the dungeons that I don’t want to enter. It was fine in the game but it also because it was a game that it was the dungeon that I want to visit. I would even load the save file and repeated that dungeon many times too. But this time it’s reality.........
Damn it. The person who thought of the way to unlock that dungeon must really have a screw loose somewhere. But it’s a dungeon that was necessary for me to become stronger, there’s no choice but to capture it......
Well, more importantly.
Did I leave the light on?
I can see the light from the small opening at the door.
“.......Umu. Okay. Suuuuuuuhaaaaaaa.”
I open the door and take a look inside while taking a deep breath.
Good. I wasn’t the one who leaves the light on.
In front of my eyes my bed and pieces of clothes that have been taken off in its surroundings. The clothes that were scattered around the room are a brown sweater, a red skirt, and black leggings. Yeah, I remember the person who has been wearing these clothes.
Her back is facing me. I can’t say for sure but it seems like she is sleeping well judging from her body rhythm.
Well then, why is Nee-san sleeping on my bed?
Fuu, I took a deep breath again and fold the clothes that were scattered around. After that, I turned off the light and quietly left the room.
My destination is the sofa in the living room. I change the setting on the air conditioner, stretched my body and lie down.
Alright.
I captured a dungeon today so it’s a good day.
Let’s do my best again tomorrow, Goodnight.
