The Reincarnated Vampire Wants an Afternoon Nap

"Hmm... that's a big mansion"

Inside the queen's mansion was, naturally, a sumptuous construction.

Statues and kettles placed everywhere are mysterious about how much artistic value they are, but they are beautifully polished and look good. Probably recovered it from a sunken ship or something around here.

Servants coming and going inside, and of course the Sea Demons. A maid with eight legs, like an octopus, is still cleverly using multiple legs to wipe several windows at once.

I was impressed with my work and went further back.

According to what I heard at the entrance, Kutila is behind the mansion.

"The Mansion, that's the strangest part."

"Oh, if you ask me... I think of the castle of the queen, the castle"

It was my intention to speak to myself to spill the questions that arose, but Xeno-kun gave me your consent.

Now we're walking more than a castle. [M]

"Like a castle, it's not packed by soldiers, it's not like there's an assistant like a minister, it's not that broad. It's more like a one-lord residence than a queen."

"Well, the land isn't huge, he said something that could be taken even if it was just done, and maybe it's because of that... Oh, we're here. Xenokun."

The big iron door was reached by the directions as taught.

It reminds me of the sealed door of the Cyril Grand Vault, but it doesn't feel magical like that.

"Knock, do you need it?"

"Shall I come in once?"

From what I saw, it was pretty thick, so it was subtle whether it would beat and sound all the way inside the room, but I decided to knock once and then go in.

Once and for all, knock on the iron door, make sure there is no response as expected, and then gently press open.

The expansive view is a girly, tidy room. There is a sense of luxury in conditioning products, and is there a bed with a lid or a bookshelf large enough to reach the ceiling?

If you looked lightly into the room, the intended person was there.

Blue skin and purple hair. Small outfits, overflowing magic.

It's Kutila, the queen of the undersea city.

Kutila is turning her back on us and hasn't noticed our entry yet. She dresses like a feather she wears many times.

"Hmm... is this what this is all about? Wrinkles aren't perfect today... hehe, Guests must be kneeling to the splendor of wrinkles too!

"Oh, could you have been trying to come see me?

"Huh. Even so. Actually, I've been meaning to go see him every day, but I don't feel like I'm going to be able to dress up... I might as well postpone sticking around. Oh, but today's straw, isn't your forehead jumping a little......!? Guru, now you can't go see the guests..."

"Uh... Kutila's a perfectionist, isn't she?"

"Of course it is! Wasabi is the Queen of the Sea Demons! It has to be perfect! Otherwise I can't put it together! The sea is harsh. The weak are soon eliminated. In that tough world, building cities and laws for everyone to laugh at each other has to be perfect as a matter of course... since when?!?

"Is it something like this or is it from around here?"

I didn't think you'd notice me talking to you.

The opponent floats his purple hair loosely and seems quite surprised. Each one is quite thick, and maybe that hair is something that moves somewhat like an isoginchuk tentacle, unlike human ones.

"... waited"

"Again?"

"Because it's good! I've waited!

It's a story twice, but it's funny, so I decided to wait for you.

Kutila makes sure she looks like herself again, one cough.

Perhaps you want to be majestic. I sandwiched the flippant motion and then made the words.

"Well done, Guest! I came to the Mansion of Straw! This is the heart of the undersea city, that is, where the queen, Straw, lives! I praise you for not bothering the strawberry legs!

"Oh, uh, thank you"

Looks like I should knock you off, so I decided to thank you.

Kutila is satisfied with this reaction, yeah, she's nodded with satisfaction over and over again.

You thought that was a good time, Xeno-kun cut the story out.

"Queen. I let you stay in this town for a few days, but I think it's a good place."

"Wow! Is that true?!?

"Yes, the town is well maintained for residents to live in and ready for the surroundings. The crops we grow are delicious, and I think the amount of seafood is wonderful."

"Hooray...... well, well. If we develop a little more, we'll grow fish in this town... er..."

"Is it farming?

"Um, bye! So the production rate...? If we raise it, we'll make the soldiers go hunting with danger less often, as we do now!

When I threw the word at her to follow the clogged spot, Kutila smiled all the way and affirmed.

... you're really thinking about it right.

I don't know the actual age, but from what I've seen, I have the impression that you're young and stretching your back.

But she does seem to have a proper policy in mind and implementation as a rule of this city.

If you walk through town, you can't stop smiling, or the well-kept township, it must be there because she wanted to and did.

That must be her pride, something important. Otherwise, I wouldn't talk about the town like this in a heartfelt and enjoyable way.

"... Kutila. Let me ask you something."

"No. I want you to listen to me first."

"Huh?"

Why did you invite us? Before I heard that, it took a wait from her.

Unlike earlier, Kutila has a serious look.

The innocent face as the girl earlier disappears, and that face, which looks firmly at this one, definitely belongs to the queen. The atmosphere that was loose tightens at once.

"Why did you invite our guests? Would you have liked to know? I just wanted to ask your lords."

"What do you want to hear, sir?

"Hmm. How about a frivolous town?

"You agree with what Xeno-kun said. Personally, I'd love to know a little more about the sense of time, but I think it's a good place to take a nap"

"Heh heh, nap. I heard silver guests like to sleep, but it seems true."

"Yeah, 'cause it's the most important thing to me."

My purpose when I was reincarnated was to be fed with a three-meal nap. In other words, the comfort of a nap is more important than anything else.

If you want to apply it there, you can always rate this town as a good place to sleep like a waterbed.

Kutila listened to my assessment and nodded contentedly.

"Then, my guest. Let's ask a question. … does this city look like it was built by humans?

An unexpected word came.
