After I finished dropping Mr. Orfina off, I was back home alone.

Why one, because everyone else went to the Knights stronghold. That is how it became in Sona's house.

We were together until we were on the way, so I don't feel lonely. But I'm the only one resting, so I'm a little sorry.

"Well, Mr. Slade,"

I was in the living room with Cretta.

It is to discuss certain things.

In the first place, I'm home for a reason.

Of course, I have an assumption because I'm tired from yesterday's game, but I actually have another reason to stay home.

"What is it about Sona's welcome party..."

"Oh, I know..."

That's why Faraes was proposing to prepare for Sona's welcoming party.

Yesterday, after various consultations, it was difficult for Cretta alone, so I decided to help as well.

"First of all, I'm going to go buy some ingredients, but I want Mr. Slade to follow me as a luggage man."

"Oh, then I'm great at it. I'll take care of it."

The contents of the preparations were largely left to Cretta.

At the welcoming party, the main thing will be to eat luxurious food for everyone. It is Cretta who cooks the dish, so she is in command.

Therefore, my role is to follow the instructions of that cletter.

"Well, let's get out of here."

"Oh, okay"

The first instruction of such a cletta was to accompany her as a luggage holder for shopping. The hard work is the most active thing I can do, so of course I'll follow. In the first place, I'm not going to defy Cretta's orders today.

That's how me and Cletta went shopping.

◇ ◇ ◇

Me and Cletta were here shopping.

"Mr. Slade, are you okay?

"Oh, this much, I don't care."

Cretta shopping was very handy, toured various stores and bought a variety of things.

Sometimes for a total of five people, even if it was one ingredient, I bought quite a few quantities, so even in one store, it was inside the package.

My role is in luggage, so I have it all.

Worried about me like that, Cletta speaks up. It is Cretta who is kind at times like this.

But I can't fight as a knight or anything that seems to raise my value with this much. I mean, I'm perfectly fine.

"Hehe, you're reliable. Then don't hesitate, we'll keep going, won't we?

"Oh, that's where I want it too"

Cretta said that to my words, smiling.

Apparently, shopping is still going on.

That's how my shopping with Cretta went on.

◇ ◇ ◇

Me and Cletta were coming home after shopping.

"Yeah, it's still good today"

"Hehe, is that right? Good for you."

Now, I'm in the middle of lunch.

It's been a long time since I've been around so many different places, and Cletta made me lunch.

"But you may not eat too much. Dinner today is luxurious…"

"No, if you're cooking Cretta, you can eat as much as you want. So we should have no problem."

"Alas, you're happy to say something. But you can't have as many on a boulder, can you?

With all that talk going on, me and Cretta kept going for lunch.

◇ ◇ ◇

Me and Cletta decided to get ready for the welcome party some time after lunch.

As for the welcoming party, Cretta is the conductor, so I'm being instructed.

"Well, I'd like to ask Mr. Slade to decorate the dining room. I finished the cleaning while you guys were dropping me off, so all I have to do is put on some decorations..."

"Decorating the dining room..."

The instructions given by Cretta are to decorate the dining room.

I was a little nervous when I heard about the decorations.

Because I've hardly ever done anything like that.

Think of it, I feel like I've hardly ever done anything like party before.

When I lived with my masters, I was caged in the mountains, so I never welcomed anyone. That's why I have so little experience.

"Mr. Slade, are you okay?

You guessed about me like that, that's what Cretta tells me.

But if I can't decorate it enough, the point of me being here is diminished. That's why I have to be strong.

"No, I'm fine. I haven't done much, but I'll see what I can do."

"... no, that's just kind of disturbing..."

The dialogue I unleashed with that much confidence didn't really resonate with Cretta's mind.

Again, even if you're anxious in the back of your mind, maybe you can't.

"I'm sorry, I don't really know. A little bit of a glory."

"If you don't know, you can tell me that from the beginning, right? I'm not angry..."

"No, if I bother Cletta's hand here, you think I'll have no more meaning left..."

"Oh, that's weird seriousness..."

When I showed my thoughts, Cretta scared me a little.

Again, you might as well have honestly relied on Cretta.

"... nothing, it's perfectly fine to bother my hand here. With Mr. Slade, you'll have more hands, so you can work faster than me alone. So, there's a point in having Mr. Slade around."

"Right..."

Cretta says those words to me when I'm depressed.

That was a very grateful word, and I was so impressed by it.

Apparently, my presence, relying on Cretta, doesn't make it meaningless.

Then let's rely on Cretta while we help.

"Now, shall we begin our preparations together?

"Oh, okay. Tell me exactly what to do."

"Absolutely."

That's how me and Cletta got ready for the welcome party.

◇ ◇ ◇

Along with Cretta, I'm getting ready for the welcome party.

The decoration of the dining room could have been managed, under the direction of Cretta.

"Come on, Cretta, what do we do next?

"Right...... then, because of this, should I ask you to help me cook?

"Cooking..."

I think a little bit about Cretta's words.

When it came to cooking, I knew better than decorating. However, Cretta in front of you is a master cook.

I'm worried that I might be able to help such a master and pull his leg.

"Okay. Not really, I'm not sure, so I'm gonna need your support again."

Earlier, however, Cletta told me that it only made sense to have more hands.

Then you should give Cretta a hand, not think about anxiety.

That's what I thought, I was letting go of words.

"Yes, this time too, I'll give you proper instructions, so don't worry. I won't say anything so impossible..."

"Oh, I'll take care of it"

Cretta said that with a laugh, so I reply forcefully.

This is how I helped Cletta cook.

◇ ◇ ◇

I managed to get ready for the welcoming party by taking Cretta's instructions.

The dining room is gorgeously colored and the dining room is sumptuous.

As I was getting ready, I was getting excited.

Originally, I was looking forward to it, but I'm kind of excited to imagine that Sona would be happy with this.

Preparation for such a party seems to have such an aspect.

Anyway, now, all we have to do is wait for Sona to come.

Me and Cletta waited in the dining room, waiting for everyone to come home.
