Chapter 397 Joyous Occasion

That night, as a reward for passing the trial, a celebration is held at a restaurant attached to the inn. All the meals are of the highest quality, and theres even a stage performance by the traditional dancers of the Dragon Gods Island. That said, it doesnt hurt our wallet at all. The elder supported us in many ways, as he was present at the historic moment of the island.

Hohoho! To think that you would pass the trial of Dragon God-sama, you never know what will happen in this word! On behalf of the islanders, I would like to make a request to you. Please let us welcome the newly born heroes. If we let you go home without doing anything, its like dishonoring the name of Dragon God-sama. With our support (enjo), lets enjoy! Just kidding!

(TLn: bad pun)

The goodwill to welcome Haru and the others is very much appreciated. However, what happened after that was no good. We, who kept listening to the talk easily, received incredibly powerful curse magic from the old man. Harus smile unusually turned dim, Weerel froze, Nell had a severe headache, and Chinatsu had enough stress for several stocks. Anyway, the situation was terrible. The Dragon Gods Island is scary.

Well, he prepared this much for us, so isnt it fine to forgive him?

It was a big price to pay, though. Ah, Touko, bring that to me. That looks delicious.

Me too!

Yeah, yeah.

The venue was reserved and the usual members, Weerel, Hund-kun, and Satella joined the party. The number of people is not so large, but the variety and quantity of the dishes lined up on the table are tremendous, probably in consideration of Haru and Hund-kuns appetite. Harus eyes have been shining due to the tropical seasoning (although this place is in the north geographically).

And when I look closely, the dancers are Zuha and Yuba in human form. They are performing extreme fire dances, such as breathing fire and dancing in revealing clothes, as if they are competing with each other. They were supposed to be working in their aprons until a little while ago, though. Their movements are sharp and well developed, so they may be competing with each other on off-duty days. By the way, thats not a dragon breath, is that?

Puha~! This liquor is delicious, and its fun to drink with young girls~

Satella-san. I think its better for you to control yourself a little. Youre drinking too much.

Ehh, no way~. I mean, Wee-chan is going home today, right? If I dont drink today, then when~?

No, if you get too drunk Im worried whether you can teleport me home properly

Its okay, dont worry~. Leave it to me~

Auh

Satella is hugging Weerel and drinking liquor happily. Is it because Haru and the others cleared her husbands trial, which no one had been able to clear for many years? Anyway, shes really happy. Ah, thats right, lets try to ask her to send us as well.

Satella-san, about that teleportation magic, can you send us back to Adelheit with Weerel?

Fueh? Are you going home already? You just came here the other day, right? Im going to be lonely! You also havent visited any tourist spots, right!? What a waste! At least, leave Wee-chan here!

Shes bothersome when shes drunk, huh.

She has to come back since shes an important person, you know? Im sorry, but we have a promise. Since things ended faster than weve planned, weve got time to go back to Adelheit to make preparations. If Satella-san sends us with teleportation magic, we will have more time.

How mean~. Then, isnt it fine to relax for a while? I have promised to send Wee-chan today, so it cant be helped. But~, if Deris-san and the others are going as well, I will be lonely! You should stay for 3 or 4 days~

This mother is throwing a tantrum while hugging Weerel. How bothersome.

Theyve cleared Rimudos trial, so we have to go to Marias place next. If we go to her castle without any preparations, do you think the girls will be fine?

Well, thats impossible. They will die for sure. If the opponent is Maria-san, then it cant be helped.

In an instant, Satella returned to the sober face. Thats how much impact Marias name has. In a bad way, of course.

Eh, we are going to die!?

Hey, Chinatsu, eavesdropping is bad. Well, it was because Satellas voice was too loud.

Im preparing to make sure that doesnt happen. So, what do you think?

Okay, leave it to me~ Ill properly send you back! But in exchange, let me love on Wee-chan for another hour.

Ehh.

Weerel has completely become her doll. I feel her gaze asking for help, but please endure it.

Okay, okay. Thats acceptable. You can love (mederu) her as much as you want on this joyous (medetai) occasion.

(TLn: bad pun, again)

At that moment, the world stopped. The fire disappears from the fire dance performed on the stage, and the food falls from the fork that Nell is holding. Frankly, I think that its bad from the bottom of my heart.

Ah, well I wonder if the old mans curse is still inside me? My mouth moved on its own. Ha ha ha

H-Haha. I-I thought it was funny, you know? However, I think that its too advanced. Dont you think so, Chinatsu? Lily-shish.

Eh? E-Err I dont know much about comedy

Yep, it, was, funny~.

Their kindness is painful in this case. I would have felt better if they abused me instead.

Deris-san, thats no good~ . Whats with this atmosphere~. I even sobered up from my drunkenness~

Deris, are you trying to give me a headache? If Alezel was here, your head would have been flying, you know? Shes strict with half-baked jokes after all.

That said, its also mentally draining to have a real bloodlust directed at me.

Im really sorry.

I sincerely apologized in a dogeza. Old man, I will get you for this!

Hes in a shuraba again. Lol.

Maybe its because hes always doing bad things? After all, we have to live a praiseworthy life like water fleas!

Zuha and Yuba, you too!

Shish, dont worry! Lets eat a lot and get well!

Yeah, I will eat a lot.

After that, I kept silent next to Haru until the end of the celebration.
