"Ah. Are you okay, Ena"

I don't know why you're so surprised that you just opened the door, but leaving a girl with a lump in the hallway is just not numb.

The prying of circumstances shelved for now, and I reached out to Ena.

"Oh, uh... su, sorry"

With a strange attitude, Ena took my hand.

I don't care what you think. Hold Ena's hand tight from this side and pull it up.

"... ah"

I should have added or subtracted once, but you pulled with stronger force than I thought, I'm going to bump into Ena with too much momentum.

It stopped on the verge, but that's when the scent of soap flowed from Ena's hair, tickling my nose.

"Oh, I'm sorry...!

But it was a moment.

Soon Ena takes a distance from me like she was played, she bows her head.

"No, this way..."

While I answered that, I was more distracted by how Ena was doing in a different atmosphere than the conversation.

Because AI was not set to remove protective gear in the house in "Cat Ear Cat," adventurers in this world usually spend time at home fully equipped as well.

Ena should have worn a set of misrill gear when we met earlier at the dinner table, too.

But now Ena dresses like a thin piece in a room, I wonder.

Ena looked more like a girl than usual, wearing that dress that looked familiar somewhere and flailing her face halfway into a floral cushion.

Besides...

"Oh, um..."

When Mojo and Ena move, the smell of soap drifts slightly.

Moving her gaze up, her bright chestnut-colored cat hair symbolizing her character was moist and wet at no time.

"Oh. Maybe you've been taking a bath?

"Oh, hey, hey!

As soon as I asked, Ena's shoulder bounced.

Then, I saw the cushion held by Ena, hugging her tightly and reshaping her.

It's an unexpectedly big reaction.

(Oh well. Shit......)

I thought it was a little insensitive to wave the subject of the bath to a girl, but things are a little different only in our case.

The bath in this mansion risks drowning from underwater continuous damage if put in without warning.

Just because it's awkward doesn't mean you don't pay attention.

By the way, if you put on a water dragon ring and put it in, you won't have to worry about drowning due to the underwater aptitude effect, but the effect of the water will be cancelled, so there's no point in taking a bath either.

"Oh, no, I'm sorry to ask you this suddenly.

But the bath in this house is dangerous.

If you're in there alone, you could drown to death, and the... "

I'm saying it myself, and it's going to break my heart to be so lying.

But Ena shook her head, probably.

"Oh, you know, I know.

Mr. Shark taught me and even kept an eye on me. "

"Huh? Oh, really..."

Apparently Mitsuki had already told me about the bath.

Makes me look like a battle freak, and Mitsuki turns her mind in pretty detail.

(You have to thank Mitsuki.)

I've had a lot to think about today, and in this world where I'm pulling game settings, my body and clothes don't get too dirty.

I tend to shy away from the bathing habits, but I guess Ena, a girl, doesn't either.

Then Ena nodded small to back up my thoughts.

"Yes. I really wanted to take a bath today..."

Speaking of which, from Ena's point of view, there should have been plenty of events today when I got on a demon-sealed ship trying to get to the King's Capital, crashed, fled the high level area, and, if I realized it, was in a weird mansion, and I was going to live in that mansion.

Then you'll even want to take a breath in the bath.

"But I'm sorry. Then you didn't have much time."

Because of Ena's character, it seems impossible to relax in the bath with Mitsuki on watch.

That's what I asked...

"Yes, no! Well, well, well, well, well, well, well."

Ena said that early and nodded half her face at the cushion again.

I was going to ask him if he could relax, but he thought he washed his body properly or pushed him out of the way.

Maybe for humans in this world, the bath is only a place to get dirty, and there's no culture of relaxation there.

Watching Ena thinking about it, I noticed her legs trembling small.

That would be cold if I wore such thin clothes in the bath.

"Why don't we just stand here and talk? Let's just go inside the room."

"Oh, uh..."

Ena seems confused, but I have trouble getting her to stand in the hallway and catch a cold or something.

"Look, we're going in."

When I pulled my arm a little hard to guide her, Ena took a small, deep breath,

"... yes, yes"

I replied with a slightly trembling voice before stepping into the room.

"This is Mr. Soma's room…"

Ena says so and looks around the room, but it's not like there's such a big thing in the room.

This room was originally a room of deceptive paintings.

I almost repainted the wall paintings with the help of the puppets at the mansion, but the majority of the furniture has become a lot of killer landscape room because it was a deceptive painting.

"I'm sorry, but I don't have a chair or anything.

Sit in that bed, if you will. "

"Beh, in bed...?

When I told him that, Ena's movements stopped looking around the room.

In a somewhat cuckoo move, we headed to bed,

"And excuse me, I will"

Speak like a frightened student entering the staff room and sit back there.

I just don't know if I've sat down and settled down, I'm hugging the cushion like that's my last stronghold, and besides, the way I sit is surprisingly shallow.

At the edge of the bed, it feels like you're sitting right there.

It seems like a small animal frightened by sound in a dangerous place, and although it may be splendid in some ways as an adventurer's heart, it is not the figure of a person relaxing in the final room.

I opened my mouth to say something.

- Conn, conn.

My door was knocked three times.

Thousands of customers today.

"Hih!!

You're surprised at the sound of it, when Ena jumps like a small animal who's really scared of the sound.

I walked over to the door with it sideways.

"I'm sorry I'm late at night. I need to ask you a few questions..."

What I heard from across the door was polite Mitsuki's words.

I'm kind of horrified,

"Mitsuki? Good. Just..."

Ena was just about to come too, I almost said, but I saw Ena shaking her neck to the side so badly that she could smash it on the edge of her sight, and she clasped her mouth.

"Just, what is it?

"No...... I was just about to go to bed.

If I was on business, would you do it again tomorrow?

When I said that, I breathed like Ena was relieved behind me.

They were right about this.

"Really? Then there's no choice."

"Oh. Sorry.... By the way, what kind of errand was that?

"It's not a big deal.

It's just a story that came to my mind because there are people (...) who are a little invisible "

To Mitsuki's words, Ena stunned flashly again and slipped off the bed.

(Ah. Damn, you totally found out...)

He talks in his mouth as if he were looking for someone who is invisible, but Mitsuki has a Seeker's ring and has excellent ability to detect signs.

You can't be unaware that Ena is here.

I don't know what your intentions are, but it might be reasonable to think that you've come to pressure me or Ena.

"Good night, then"

"Oh, I'll see you tomorrow"

However, it didn't look very sticky for it, and Mitsuki left lightly.

"... Oh, uh, Mr. Shark, did you go?

"Huh? Ah, oh."

I was clearing my ears in the footsteps of a dwarfing mite, but returned to me in Ena's words.

Turning around, Ena was sitting on the floor with a girl.

"Ugh. I thought my heart would pop out of my mouth..."

I felt sorry for Ena because I missed her, and I laughed.

"I knew you still didn't like Mitsuki?

"I don't like it, that's not what I'm talking about.

It's just that in these places, people see... ugh, ugh!

Ena slapped her leg just because she couldn't stand it.

That doesn't mean you'd die of embarrassment if they saw you where you were with me.

As far as Ena is concerned, I want to believe that there is no such thing.

"As it is, well, you're okay because you've already been there.

Ena's errands... "

- Conn, conn.

"Hih!!

From what I was about to say, the door knocked again and Ena jumped again.

"Now what..."

I open the door with a sigh.

Behind the door was an integral doll.

"Oh, my God, isn't that Christina? What's wrong with you?

Christina is the one inside this mansion doll, she moves on and helps with the chores, she's a nice girl.

I can say he's a very easy person to hang out with, except that his eyes are always vain and he doesn't know where to look and when he gets excited he brings out some red-and-black stained knife from somewhere.

Now he seemed excited, wiggling a red-and-black stained knife with his eyes not sure where he was looking and complaining about something, but he didn't know what he was trying to say.

When she realized she couldn't talk to me, Christina left with her eyes open.

I hope this doesn't bode well for some big incident, but I turned to Ena.

Ena is nonetheless sitting on the ground, pointing to the door, which is now already closed, and letting her mouth pound.

"To, the doll, the doll knives..."

"Oh, that's Christina.

See, at dinner today, you were carrying dishes. "

Well, the name Christina was appropriately given here, so I don't know her real name because it's the same as Kuma's.

"Oh, I don't know that."

And when I open my mouth trying to lecture Ena on how to tell each doll out of pity...

- Conn, conn.

Also, the door was knocked.

Ena was jumping to discipline and sending a frightened glance at the door, but as for this one, it's about time she got tired of it.

Only today do many visitors have anything to do with maybe defeating the Demon King?

I opened the door in vain, thinking without such a benefit.

Standing behind the hallway was still the inhabitant of the mansion.

"What is it, Mr. Poor Son? What's wrong with you?

Sadako is the only human form among the inhabitants from the original part of this mansion.

He's always hiding his face with his forehead, and as soon as something happens, he's the shygirl who runs into the TV.

It's a drawback when it comes to not being tall when you talk because your default posture is crawling on all fours, and it's a drawback when it comes to never looking me in the eye while you're talking, but I can literally say that if you close your eyes around it, you're someone you can quite easily hang out with.

The poor boy seems to have something to tell him, and he's desperately shaking his hair, but unfortunately he has no idea what he's talking about.

"Oh, yeah."

Even if I can't speak the language, maybe I can write the letters.

When I took the notebook and pen out of the porch, I handed it to poor boy.

It was just a thought, but when Poor Girl received the pen and notepad without confusion, she quickly began to write something down in the notepad.

You might expect this.

Wait a dozen seconds with such expectations.

Then the poor boy who put the pen down gave me his notebook as he crawled on all fours.

"Which..."

I take my notebook, I look at the letters written there,

"Grievance Curse."

Grievances, death grievances.

Curse.

Dead grievances.

Curse.

Grievances. Death.

Grievances, curses. "

"I lost it in anticipation!!

The moment I saw it, I slammed my notebook to the ground.

Most of the pages were filled with cursed letters.

And there's something about the subtle margins that makes me angry.

But still, he seemed confident as a poor boy.

When Sadako saw my reaction, she dropped her shoulder and crawled home on all fours.

But now I can finally talk to Ena.

Once again, when I turn to Ena,

"from the box, a woman, ah, bills on the wall, Jillillillilli, Jillillilli..."

Even some trauma irritated me, Ena in a cushion was trembling.

It took me another few minutes to get Ena back on her feet somehow.

And even though I think I'm calm because of it, every time I hear something, I say, "Hih! 'Cause," Hih! "I scream and get scared, so I put in a follow up every time.

"No, I probably got something flying in the window with the wind. Sometimes it is, that's what it is."

"Oh, really? I'm sorry."

Truth be told, the windows in this room are deceptive paintings, so things can't even hit the windows, but let's just say that.

And when I got cocky, no, I just thought I calmed down, and now the noise of chatter from the hallway.

Once again, I can smile at Ena, who is trembling.

"No, it's probably a hundred nights trip or something. Sometimes it is, that's what it is."

"Oh, really?... That's usually scary, isn't it!!

And that's the way it is.

Exactly. I can't help but have a conversation in this situation.

And since Ena seemed to care so much about the door, I decided to show her the whole story.

"Silence!"

On the door, cast the magic of silence.

I was worried because it was something I couldn't do in the game, but even if I tried knocking on the door, it wouldn't make any noise.

Success.

"Soma,?

"Now you're not supposed to hear any more noises outside.

Besides, maybe now you won't even hear the sound inside. "

However, this quickly cuts the magic.

The magic of the same effect cannot be overlaid or overwritten until it expires.

So when I spoke of the magic of silence again and again, I made an activation reservation so that the next magic would be activated by the time it ran out of effect.

If my calculations aren't wrong, this should work for about an hour.

But Ena's face was still anxious.

If someone suddenly opens the door that they find ineffective, I wonder what they think.

So the next thing I knew, I took the key to the room I had left on my desk and headed to the front of the door.

When you close the key without hesitation,

"Magical Pocket"

Now activate Wind Magic, Magical Pocket.

Throw the key into a magically born dimensional rift (pocket).

"Ah!"

A few seconds later, the rift in the expired dimension dissolved in the air and disappeared as if nothing had happened.

Naturally, the keys won't come back either.

"Oh, Mr. Soma!?

Ena shouts her surprise, but I calmly responded.

"Magical pockets are magic.

Simply put, the magic of invoking an infinite number of item boxes.

Now you can't take out the keys anymore except for me.

So no one can open the door. "

Truth be told, this is a big lie, and the security in your magical pocket can suck, but now it would be a prerequisite to reassure Ena.

I laugh at Ena while I think about taking out the keys just when I'm done with my errands, but without even giving it a bite.

"I can't hear the noise, so, no one can answer, and that's..."

Ena's voice snapped as she blushed red her face sounded slightly louder in that chamber, magically isolated from the outside world.

- Just the two of us. The night has begun.
