Chapter 251 Dress
After leaving the knight order’s headquarters, Haruna and Chinatsu returned to Nell’s mansion. To be precise, they came back to Deris’s house, which sits in the yard of the mansion. This house is supposed to be managed by Lilyvia, but there’s no way the good-for-nothing maid Lily can clean and manage the house, so Haruna goes there in her free time to keep the house clean. That’s why it’s not a long time since Haruna visited here.
「Lily-senpai~, I’m coming in~」
Haruna knocked on the front door several times to announce her visit. However, there’s no reply.
「Now, let’s get in!」
「Eh, is that okay? There’s no reply, though….」
「It’s the usual thing, so no problem. I’m home~」
Haruna greeted as if she was returning to her parent’s home and boldly stepped into the house. Chinatsu couldn’t just wait here, so she also went into the nostalgic Deris’s house while saying her greeting.
It’s natural because Harua has been cleaning the house, but it’s so clean as if it’s not a vacant house. There’s not a single speck of dust on the floor, the air is clean, and everywhere is sparkling.
「Haruna, could it be that you clean the house every day?」
「No, only when I have time. But, I left it for a while during the last expedition, so I put a little more effort when cleaning it.」
「I see…. Hmm? I don’t see Lily-san. Lily-saaan?」
Chinatsu looked around the living room and the kitchen. However, Lily, who should be the guardian of the house, is nowhere to be found, and there’s no answer even when she called her name. Is she not home?
(Ah, there’s tableware on the table…. Maybe she was here a while ago?)
When Chinatsu thought so, she could see Haruna beckoning her.
「Ahaha, Lily-senpai is in her hibernation, so she won’t reply. This way.」
「I-I see?」
Haruna headed to Deris’s bedroom. There’s a bed in the room that seems to be the one Deris had been using, and the blanket is bulging for some reason. At this point, Chinatsu already has a bad feeling about this. Her Danger Detection Skill doesn’t react. However, there’s a dangerous smell in a different way drifting in the air.
「Lily-senpai, please wake up! It’s past noon!」
Haruna shouted while shaking the bulging blanket.
「………」
She kept shaking and shouting for a while, but there’s no reaction at all. Then, Haruna sighed and grabbed the edge of the blanket.
「――Hah!」
The blanket was flipped over by Haruna with great force. The next moment, Lilyvia floated up from the bed, hugging her pillow. Lily was blown up from bed by the mysterious force of aiki. And then, it was perfectly adjusted so that she will land with her legs down. Then, she landed on the bed with the position of meeting face to face with Haruna and Chinatsu while hugging her pillow.
「Fuaah…. Haru-chan… isn’t the way you wake me up a little rough…?」
「It’s because Lily-san is harder to wake up than Shishō. If I don’t do this, you won’t wake up at all.」
「Haruna, do you wake her up like this every day…?」
「No, today is special.」
Haruna usually waits until Lily wakes up by herself, but the current Lily is lazier than usual. Haruna judged that Lily would sleep for who knows how long if left alone.
「Uhh, I still want to sleep in the sanctuary like this…. I want to heal my physical and mental fatigue while being surrounded by the scent of Goshujin-sama….」
「But Senpai, it’s bad for your health to be like that all day long, you know? It seems you at least eat the food, though.」
「It’s a waste to leave Haru-chan’s food…. It’s my dream to become Goshujin-sama’s mistress and be taken care of by Haru-chan….」
Lily has passed the point of being a good-for-nothing maid and has become a completely useless creature. Her brave appearance when she was preaching Touko was like a lie, and Chinatsu feels a little headache. The price for acting as the Great Eight Demons was so great.
「Besides, I have to act as the Great Eight Demons again for the wedding of Goshujin-sama and Idiot Nell…. That’s right, now is my battery charging period in preparation for it…. It’s my duty to not work hard…. *Sniff sniff*」
Lily buried her face in Deris’s pillow and sniffed it. Even Chinatsu is shaken a bit by that.
「Senpai, please be careful not to drool on the pillow, okay? Also, we are here today to consult about that wedding.」
「Ehh…. Didn’t you come to make my meal…? Also, I want to take a bath….」
「If you help us, I’ll prepare it as usual. If you want, I will even add your favorite dessert today!」
「I’ll do my best, just a bit….」
Lily slightly shifted her face, which was buried in the pillow, and looked at Haruna and Chinatsu. It seems that she’s urging them to tell the content of the consultation with her eyes. She really only makes the minimum necessary movement.
「You see――」
Chinatsu tells her that they haven’t prepared a dress for the wedding and are currently looking for it. Lily’s eyes are listless and she remains so quiet that Chinatsu is worried that she may be sleeping during the talking.
「――Something like that. So, I was thinking that maybe Lily-san has a dress….」
「Yes, I have…. Chinatsu-chan has a similar style to mine, so I think it’s okay to use it as it is…. But, Haru-chan’s size is…. When disguising with such a party dress, I often disguise with one that has erotic feeling….」
「Ah, so you don’t have one for me, huh. I don’t have any sex appeal after all!」
Haruna’s mentality is strong that she can say such a thing with a smile. Then, the other options are buying from a shop or asking friends. When Chinatsu was thinking about the next plan, Lily muttered something.
「I don’t have any, so I’ll make one for you before the ceremony…. Haru-chan, let me measure you later….」
「Eh!? Y-You can make it!?」
「Yes, I can~…. Even this maid outfit I’m wearing is made by me~…. If I put a little effort and act as a first-class dressmaker, I will manage somehow~….」
「「………」」
Lily’s Acting Skill is more versatile than expected. Then, they wrote down the request on a piece of paper, and Lily will make the dress from scratch based on that idea. Also, it seems that Lily will make a completely custom-made dress for Chinatsu as well.
「A-Are you sure? I mean, with making one for me too….」
「It’s fine~…. I’m lazy, but I’m not heartless~…. Haru-chan has been taking care of me, and Goshujin-sama is indebted to Chinatsu-chan…. Ah, since it’s for a wedding ceremony, a less revealing white dress is a no~…. Other than that, you can request anything~…. Kuu~….」
「…… Did she fall asleep?」
「She did. Well, I guess I’ll prepare the bath and some food. Chinatsu-chan, can you help me?」
The two put the blanket on the sleeping Lily and left the room. Thus, the dress problem was resolved, and they managed to prepare their own dresses.
――――Meanwhile, in the guest room of Nell’s mansion.
「Ha!?」
「What’s wrong? Why did you suddenly look out the window?」
「No, I just felt like I lost a business opportunity for some reason…. Hmm, I wonder what?」
「Don’t be ridiculous. Let’s get to work on the plan.」
Unknowingly, Alezel’s business sensor was reacting subtly.
