The next day after Rafe and I broke up. We were leaving the empire and returning to the kingdom. Me, Phee and Monica live in another room on the same floor, so we'll be together until we're on our way. By the way, like I said, Monica moved into the room next to Fee. He said Phee did all the rent and other various procedures. Surely Phee is competent.

And I open the door to my room.

""... welcome back, ah... did you?

……

Open the door, and... close it. Oh, I'm tired. I've done so many death fights in the empire. Both the primary material PrimaMateria and the magic were exhausted. Thanks to the treatment of Phee and Monica, they are fully healed, but I guess the mental aspect is still exhausted. I can't believe I'm seeing this hallucination.

And, not even if you're deja vu to recap. I felt like there were two of them right now. Alice doesn't have to tell me, but I felt that Rita was there... that serious, caring for the crop...

Hallucinations. Yes, hallucinations. This is... I got really tired of that fight. Yes, it must be.

That's what I decided to do, open the door again.

""... welcome back, ah... did you?

Oh, shut up. No more. I may end up in Shima.

"Hey first! Please react! Rita is doing her best too!!

"Ugh... embarrassing..."

"Hey, what are you doing? Both of you."

"Oh, my God, take care of me. I'm here to heal a tired teacher in the Empire for two!

"No I... tried to bring the protos here... but then Alice caught me... so... uuuuuuuu"

They're both talking in maid clothes, so they're like some kind of my exclusive maid. But there will be a lot of problems with royalty and the daughters of the three nobles wearing made-up clothes...

Ha...... for now, do you want to go inside the house?

"Doctor, would you like some tea?

"Hmm? Ah... give me the usual one... no, I'm gonna take a bath before then"

"I thought you'd say that, it's boiling."

"Really? It helps."

I'll leave my stuff and go to the bathroom. Then, as Alice said, the water was already tense. It's totally trespassing this time, but I don't even feel like complaining because it's so convenient.

Is that me? Is it possible I'm letting the princess take care of me? Not too bad, huh?

Hmm, but well... that's what he's doing on his own, and that's good.

I take it upon myself to conclude that, I go into the tub.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... nice water"

Long time no bath at home. I still calm down at home. I feel like I have everything here.

"Seisei ~ I! I'll make you some rice ~"

"Oh... I'm sorry. I asked for it."

I hear that from the outside. Actually, I had concerns about breaking into the bathroom this time, but it seems okay. I guess you're going to exhaust me thoroughly, showing me I'm seriously tired. A royal, but worthy one. Well... and I'm sweet on that. Me too...

And I got out of the bathroom, and when I got dressed and went to the living room, Alice and Rita sat and waited. Hamburgers and prepped corn and carrots for dinner today, plus corn soup. Huh, you seem to be using vegetables from my parents' house. If you look at that sheen and the even placement of the first material, PrimaMateria, you can tell. Boulder, home. No less powerful than me.

"Doctor, I made it with me and Rita!

"No... I just helped out a little... but Alice is amazing! Everything went so far... I thought she was a princess..."

"Surely Alice is somewhat lifelike. The future is a general meaning, but it will make a good daughter-in-law"

"Hehe. Doctor, did you want me?

"Honestly, that helps, but you're royal, aren't you? Not far away..."

"Ugh! I won't tell you that. It's a promise! Okay, let's have it for now!

"" "I'll have it" "

The three of us dine hand in hand. The last few days have been a bummer, so it's fresh. This is how you eat slowly. And Alice, anyway, I didn't know Rita was here. My house got busy, too. But this isn't gonna be a problem at the academy, is it? Yeah. Let's just believe it won't. And he's noble and royal. You should be able to do anything with power.

"So, Doctor, was the empire fun?

"Oh, that's what you told Alice... I was actually going to go talk to her, but it's going to be a fight with the demons."

"What!? What kind of demon is it?

Scorpion and Huge Scorpion.

When I say that, Rita blah! And cough up.

"Huh!? Was that in the Empire!!?

"No, there's a sudden outbreak in the West Village. Nearly a thousand individuals, and some subspecies used ice alchemy over 15 meters."

"So... what happened?

"Hmm? I killed him mundanely. It was quite a death fight, though. Almost there, you were dead. haha."

That's it, even if you talk too seriously, so I explained it lightly. Then Alice and Rita look strangely serious. And it was Alice who opened her mouth.

"First!! Even though you were impotent in the labyrinth, you were impotent in the empire!? My teacher isn't a convenience store anymore...... what were Phee and Monica doing!?

"No... that's a lot of things..."

"Well... I know that... I was worried. Sleep with me today as punishment."

"Huh!!? Alice and her teacher are sleeping together!? But that usually means sleeping, right? Doesn't mean anything weird, does it?

"Oh dear ~? Rita, what's wrong with reddening your face? What do you mean, weird?

"Huh!? Oh, it's... it's... it's for men and women... I mean... Ugh! You know that!?

"Yes, sir. I'm sorry. Rita's adorable, so follow me."

Then the three of us talked a lot. Then Rita says she'll show you something interesting. They brought the vegetables here this time because of this.

"Ooh... Number one to the proto, how have you been?

That said, everyone salutes Bishi.

Huh? What is this? Dejav?

"Doctor, watch!

Then there was a whistle on Rita's neck... whistle. What is that?

Rita turns the whistle to her mouth and starts making noises: pi, pi, pi, pi, pi, pi, pi. At that next moment, the vegetables suddenly began to march in a vicious reaction. The line is well aligned vertically. The spacing is also exquisite.

"Whole thing - move on!!

And the vegetables march beautifully on the desk to match the sound of pi, pi, pi, pi. After going all the way around, Rita opens her mouth again.

"Formation, deformation!! Whole thing, move on!!

Next, line up in a side-by-side row and march straight. Yeah. There's no variation in hands and feet. From the side, I can tell very well, but this is a roll. It's like an army march itself. Everything is neatly aligned. But... what is this?

"Okay! Whole thing, rest!!

When the vegetables salute Rita, they put their hands behind their back and pose for rest. I can feel the atmosphere like a military man in a war, not just from them, but from confidence. Yeah, what is this?

"What do you say, first born!? Don't be amazing. Awesome!!?

"Oh... wow, what is this?

"What's a march? In order for everyone to get along, group action is imperative. So while the teacher was gone, we all practiced marching."

"Ah... yes"

The vegetables seem to be entirely under Rita's command. Alice watched how it went and muttered, "Rita is a weird talent after all..." I agree with that.

That's when Gachari and the door open again.

"Hey, El... Shut up at night... think about me and Monica too..."

There was Phee and Monica at the front door. And look at Alice and Rita and solidify.

"Oh, oh? Did you say Phee by now? I'm already done... hehe"

Yes. The usual one begins.

Our night wasn't nearly over yet. But once in a while, I wonder if this atmosphere would be nice for us to start making noise.
