Chapter 155: Fates Room
Chapter 155 Fates Room
My anxiety was proven right .
In fact, I couldnt even find Roxy and Mimir anywhere .
Probably realizing that Im getting impatient, Greed spoke to me via mind reading .
There is only one possibility left now . Have you cleaned up properly?
[I was in a hurry to return to the capital back then]
I just assumed that the maids working on the castle would clean the room up for me .
Thinking so, I went to my room . And of course, I heard voices coming from inside .
Those voices belonged to girls Im familiar with .
[Fumu fumu, so this is Fates room . ]
[We should not! Eris-sama, let us leave . ]
[But weve just entered . Shouldnt we look around for a bit? Dont you think so too, Mimir?]
[Yes, as a maid working for this castle, it should be my top priority . ]
[If you insist on leaving, then maybe Roxy should just wait outside . ]
[Why only me! That is not going to happen!]
It was a fuss inside . And the voices just kept getting louder .
Quick, I must enter and put an end to this!
When I grabbed the door handle,
[Just admit it, Roxy also wants to take a look at Fates room, right?]
[That is]
[Eeee~, then tell me why did you keep taking glances at the surroundings since we entered this room?]
[Wha!?]
Roxy was just trying to stop the two, but Eris alluding to her own curiosityit only made her upset .
And then, there were Eris and Mimir, making sounds as though theyre turning the room upside down without leaving anything unchecked .
You really shouldnt be talking about that, especially in my room .
[I couldnt enter]
Dont be such a dimwit . Just get inside already . Being so cowardly, and you still consider yourself the wielder of this Me
[Shu, shut up . ]
I had lost my timing completely . Anyone who looked at me standing there in front of my own room must be wondering what I am doing . Evidently, the maids who passed by the room could only look at each other in question as they didnt know my circumstances .
The lord of the castle returned home after a fairly long time But he had this troubled face that they didnt dare to even greet him . Rather than inquiring about the problem now, the maids decided to postpone it for later .
Can you just man up already?
[I know . ]
When I finally opened the door, the girls who had been talking to each other earlier suddenly turned their gaze towards me at once .
[Arara The room owner has finally appeared . ]
[Fate-sama, is there something wrong?]
[Something wrong, you ask? This is my room . ]
[Is that the case? I didnt know]
[How shameless . ]
Eris and Mimir stood there imposingly . Even though its my room and theyve been ransacking it right in my earshot .
On the other hand, Roxys face gradually turned red .
[Fai, did you hear what we talked about earlier?]
[ . . yeah . ]
[Uuuu . . ]
Unable to look at me in the face anymore at that point, Roxy stormed off from the room .
I had no chance to stop her .
While I was occupied with staring at the open door, Eris hand made its way to my shoulder .
Her expression spoke to me that anything I said wouldnt matter .
[Eavesdropping is not good . ]
[Are you really one to talk?]
[What do you even mean?]
[You are in my room, you know?]
[I dont see any problem with that . ]
There is a problem! This is MY room .
But Eris could care less about that . She sat on my bed while maintaining eye contact .
[This is a pretty comfy bed . Ill really get a good sleep tonight . ]
[You dont tell me . ]
[Ahaha, would you look at that! Fates troubled expression really is fun to see . Dont you agree, Mimir?]
[Indeed it is . ]
Mimir repeatedly nodded . What a nice teamwork! I guess the two really got along well during our trip to Hauzen .
[Please spare me . ]
Roxy did say that shell become my bodyguard at night .
But the way things are, it felt like Eris and Mimir would still vie for a position on my bed .
I . will I ever have a nice comfy rest?
[Whats wrong? You suddenly become pale]
[Arara, thats not good . I better take care of Fate-sama properly tonight . ]
[Its because of you people! Now get out of my room already!]
[ [ Eeee ] ]
Eris and Mimir shot me with disgruntled gazes . No no, it should be me who gave you two that kind of gaze .
I pushed the two girls from the back, trying to shoo them away from my room . But right then, a lively voice followed by a noise of destruction boomed .
[Fate, found you! I wanna play too!]
[My rooooom!!]
Owing to her immense status and the lack of control therein, Snow literally pushed the door out of the wall as she stormed into my room . The door itself brushed past my cheek before it broke through the window and flew away somewhere .
What in the world I lost my bedroom as soon as I returned back home .
[Ahaha . Look at the bright side, its more airy now . Im off to the guest room then]
[ . . Ill go find broom and dustpan . ]
The two left the room, leaving me alone with Snow .
The price was fairly hefty, but at least its quiet here now . At least I wanted to think so .
[Snow, you cant just break the door like that . Before this too, you also broke through the bathhouses wall . ]
[Ah! I forgot sorry]
This careless fellow! I wanted to pat her head, but if I did, the castle would end up full of holes . It would be a major crisis if the newly renovated castle collapsed so quickly .
This little girl tends to forget other things when shes already focused on something . At first I thought its related to her amnesia . But having stayed with her all the time, I came to realize that its just the way she is .
For instance, even if she remembered not to break the door this time, shell forget it some other time . And because shes an Area E already, her childlike appearance was very deceptive .
I suddenly felt a very strong tug on my arm, as Snow called out to me .
[Hey hey, I want to explore the castle!]
[I need to talk with Seto shortly, can we do it later?]
[I want now! Now, now!]
Fuuu~, even if I insisted on talking with Seto now, having Snow continuing to act like this would only hinder us . I should just take her for a small walk around the castle now . Shell fall asleep on her own when she feels tired .
[Okay, okay]
[Yay! Come on!]
Good grief . We exited the room through the destroyed entrance .
And right then, from the corner at the end of the corridor, was that glittering blonde hair there?
After whispering something quietly to Snow, I went to meet the owner of that hair .
I opened up with a [Boo] with the intention to lightly startle her before asking what she was doing right there .
[Kyaah!!]
But unexpectedly, she was actually surprised .
It seemed that the person in question was trying to hide herself, and for some reason didnt notice me approaching her .
[Fai, do not surprise me like that]
[Then, Roxy, what are you doing there?]
[Tha, that is]
I talked to Roxy . But when I looked at her in the face, she turned away from me .
[I was just curious about what Eris-sama and Mimir are doing . Then I heard a loud crash it would be weird if I didnt come to check . ]
[Indeed it is . ]
The servants of the castle had also started gathering due to the noise .
Ill explain the situation to them and have them conduct repairs soon . In my observation, the doors and the windows were newly installed, so it shouldnt take long to replace them .
[Until then, I think Ill have to rest in the guest room . ]
[If so, there is one free bed in my room, is it not convenient?]
[Do you really want me to sleep in the same room as yours?]
[Why of course! Eris-sama and Mimir are too dangerous if left alone! And did you forget about that?]
[Nn? About what?]
[Studying . I once said that I would teach you personally . There are various things that we had to postpone due to all the travelling . So I will make sure that we catch up in no time . ]
Eeeeee, studying!? I completely forgot about that . Now I have no right to call Snow forgetful .
As my shoulders drooped down, Snow tugged my sleeve .
[Castle exploring!]
[Right . What about you, Roxy?]
[There is no helping it, I guess . However, I will start teaching you at night, so you better be prepared . ]
[ . . I understand, teach . ]
[Good!]
After taking Snow and Roxy on a tour around the castle, I had a talk with Seto . Then, at night, Roxy would teach me about various things that are important to know as a noble .
Un, its already as hectic as it could get .
