Chapter 359

We somehow managed to get in touch.

“Lord, I have returned.”

Just as I was thinking of retiring to the bed because I was getting tired of waiting, Kurogane returned.

“It took you a while, didn’t it? I was thinking of going to sleep already.”“Sorry, that idiot Byakko detained me, so I returned late.”

Kurogane made a discontent face and quickly returned to his Sacred Beast appearances.

“Thank you for your hard work. Was everyone doing fine?”

I patted Kurogane as if comforting him and inquired about the situation of Sei and others.

“Umu. I met up with Byakko, but that fellow was needlessly vigorous. That fellow is so bored he made me accompany him for a drink.”“Oh, my goodness…”

Imagining the bored Byakko-sama and the complaining Kurogane drinking at the bar, I smiled wryly.

“I handed the letter to Byakko. I will be going to get their reply early in the morning.”“Thank you, Kurogane. Ah right, the bacon…”“No, it’s already late in the night. Let’s leave it for tomorrow after I get the reply.”“Eh, but…”“Hey there! We were waiting for you to return, alright! We won’t be able to eat if you keep saying something like that!”

Bang, bang! Kaguya who waited hit the floor in protest.

“Hmm? Why do you have to eat the bacon too?”“We are going to eat too, alright! Even though we were waiting for you to return, we will now be starving by tomorrow!”“Kaguya…”

I certainly told them to “Wait for Kurogane’s return” but…

“We did wait. But, it’s certainly late, so I am fine to wait for tomorrow.”“Wha-! T, traitor~!”

Kaguya thought that Mashiro was on her side, so it seems that she has received a shock.

“It’s already Cristea’s bedtime. Can’t be helped.”“Umu. I can’t think of eating when I think that it could harm Lord’s health.”

Oh stop it you, I feel ticklish from all the gentleness.

“Ugh… ca, can’t be helped then. Tomorrow is absolute, though!”

Feeling that she was at a disadvantage, Kaguya yielded.

All that’s left is to not act too unnaturally as acquaintances in the academy…
