Chapter 337 No Worries Even When Away

Maria, who’s resting her chin in her hands on the table, said such a thing in a dissatisfied tone. Don’t tell me, is she going to oppose it?

「Hmm? I have a feeling there will be some troubles before I get my turn.」

「Haha, what are you talking about? You’re getting old, Vakala. You see, troubles always happen around Maria!」

「Well, you’re not wrong.」

I want to agree with that opinion from the bottom of my heart.

「So, what do you want, Maria? Are you not going to give them your approval just because it’s boring?」

「I’m not such a small-minded woman, you know? You see, using the door with Agalia’s ability is something amazing! After all, it’s the same as being acknowledged by all of the Great Eight Demons!」

「I just heard that from Agalia.」

「I just want to say it! Jeez, Deris doesn’t understand a maiden’s heart~. You won’t be popular if you’re like that!」

「I’ve married, so there’s no need for me to be popular. So?」

「You haven’t come to my country yet, right!? You promised to play together, so make sure you satisfy me before you go home!」

Play together…? Ah, is she talking about the promise to train the girls? I feel that it’s slightly distorted.

「Hmm, if Maria says so, should I oppose it too?」

「Wow, Old Vakala too?」

「Oi oi, they opposed in succession….」

「Don’t worry. I’m just interested in them. After all, they are from the same town as that corps――cough cough! Sorry, because of my old age, my throat is….」

「Vakala-san, are you okay?」

「Umu, I’m okay. Just like Lilyvia’s maid, girls these days are very thoughtful, huh.」

Vakala, whose body is composed only of bones, should not have a vocal organ, though. Still, considering the course of the events, the next turn Agalia probably will――

「Okay, if that’s the case, I will oppose it too! I mean, it’s not fair the cute girls are playing with you all! Play with me too!」

――I knew it.

「Wait, let me get this straight. Maria, Vakala, and Agalia, are you seriously against letting them use the door?」

「「「I’m serious!」」」

The three said so in unison. These guys…!

「Five gave their approval, and three opposed it. The majority has approved, but you still can’t use it?」

「I can’t~. You see, I can’t use my power unless everyone approved~」

That’s what you call being useless.

「Well, that’s fine. The girls just need to convince you three to return to their world, right? Maria’s condition is to play with her. Vakala, Agalia, what’s your conditions?」

「Is it a fistfight!?」

Haru suddenly butted in. No, exchanging blows with Maria and Vakala is not good. As for Agalia, well… wait, it’s still early. It’s better to make a rule that allows for foul play.

「T-That’s a quite violent remark, Haruna-chan…. It’s not that we have to fight, you know? You just need to convince us. For example, if you can beat me in a card game――」

「――Is it a fistfight!?」

「………」

Even Agalia is overwhelmed by Haruna, who’s approaching him with sparkling eyes. Haru is honest to herself after all. Still, I think that’s better than playing a card game against Agalia since we won’t know what kind of trickery he will use. On the contrary, we will have a better chance of winning if we play old maid against Maria. But well, what Haru wants is a victory in a fight, so playing a card game is not an option.

「Hohoho, she sure is a gutsy girl.」

「There is no one who wants to get into a fistfight with Maria-dono and Vakala-dono nowadays. Ah, I’d rather not do that.」

「The one who wants it probably just Nell, ain’t it? I don’t wanna do it either.」

「That’s rude. I just want to settle our fight that always ends up in a draw.」

「Oh, you’re confident that it will end up in a draw….」

If we don’t set the victory conditions, it’s guaranteed that it will end up with a fruitless fight. Now, it’s about time to stop Haru. If it really becomes a serious and pure fistfight, the girls will lose their winning chance.

「A fistfight…. You mean that fistfight…!?」

「Gii?」

Chinatsu probably imagined the worst case that her face turned pale. Gii-kun seems to be worried too. What she meant by that was probably the fierce battle between Nell and Maria at the ceremony. Don’t worry, even I don’t want to enter there no matter what.

「Rimudo, while we are at it, you should come to our side too~. Join our group~♪」

「Hm? No, but….」

「That’s what I want! If anything, I want to challenge everyone!」

「Haruna!?」

「See, that girl is saying that too.」

「She’s really a strange girl….」

Rimudo changed from the approving side to the opposing side. Then, Chinatsu became absentminded. Hang in there, Chinatsu.

「Ahaha…. Deris, your disciple said so, but are you not against it? She’s making it more difficult for herself, you know?」

「Unfortunately, Haru can only live that way. I can only give her a push.」

「You’re just enjoying it, aren’t you?」

「Well, I’d be lying if I said I’m not curious to see if my disciple’s power will work against you.」

「Hmm…. Anyway, they need to convince the four of us to use the door. Let’s see…. We can’t do it at the same time, so how about they visit each country? At that time, the Great Eight Demons will present their conditions. Ah, something impossible is no good, of course! Children are the world’s treasure, so we have to cherish them for the sake of the future! Love and Peace!」

「「「「「「Love and Peace!」」」」」」

「L-Love and….」

Hund-kun is desperately trying to get used to the mood of the Great Eight Demons. Being too serious is hard.

「Love and Peace! … Is it like this?」

「Haru, you don’t have to copy them.」

「Um, Nell-shishō. Somehow it’s decided that we will go out again, but what about the knight order’s job? We’ve been away for quite a while now, right?」

「No problem. You see, there’s Therese who joined the order this year. Not only regional exchanges, but she’s also excellent with paperwork. It seems that she can manage somehow even if Chinatsu isn’t there, you know? She wasn’t the president of the student council for nothing. In the first place, I’m always away, so the situation isn’t that different. Even the Great Demon King who was a threat to the continent is with us now.」

Hund-kun shivered when Nell suddenly smiled at him. I’m sure he sensed danger.

「Still, there’s Galdevalan. I’ve punished them, but the possibility of them attacking isn’t zero. Hey, you 『Domination Craver』 over there. Do you want to try volunteer work?」

「What….?」

Thus, the army of the sea monsters under Hund-kun will hold an outdoor party in various places of Adelheit with Therese in the name of a social gathering to make friends with people. It was the birth of the Temporary Security Force in the absence of Nell, no, the Executive Committee of Therese Regional Reconstruction Outdoor Party.

『Desuwa!』

Oh no, I felt like I heard something.
