Chapter 498 Awakening Time

――――The 84th day of training.

With the final day of the war with Elderado finally approaching tomorrow, Haru is spending the day as usual. She woke up at the usual time, went for a run and did her morning workout as usual. She is now doing housework around the demon castle. Chinatsu and Touko are the same. Chinatsu is working on the accumulated clerical work of the knight order, and she also opened a consultation office for undead. As for Touko, she is taking care of Lilyvia and working as a maid.

There is no need to do special training anymore. If they live their lives as usual and greet tomorrow with the same attitude as usual, the girls will be able to complete the Vakala’s trial without worrying about the time limit. They have already reached such a level, even though they are human. I hope they have confidence in themselves. Especially Goddess Chinatsu.

「Short skirts aren’t good! Give them to me! I will become the best seamstress!」

While the disciples are doing their usual things, Lilyvia is surprisingly motivated. With her acting ability, which she hasn’t used in a long time, she’s going to re-tailor all of the skirts that were prepared by Vakala.

「Lily, did you catch a cold? Wait here, I’ll have Haru make you some porridge.」

「No, I’m healthy! But I want to eat Haruna-chan’s porridge!」

It seems that she’s not sick. Could it be that her pride as a master has been ignited by the fact that Touko and the others have reached level 9, the same level as her? Even among the same level 9, there is a considerable difference in power between the upper and lower ranks, but the speed of growth of those three is unparalleled. Lily is proud of her disciple, but at the same time, she doesn’t want to be overtaken as the master. Yeah, I understand.

「Lily, you also have a lot of things to think about, huh? I’m getting a little better opinion of you.」

「Huh? Ehehe, what’s gotten into you all of a sudden? I’m a succubus, so I’m thinking about a lot of things. I can’t let Goshujin-sama see the girls in such sensitive outfits! Don’t worry, before an incident happens, I will prevent it!」

「…… What kind of person do you think I am?」

「Huh, are you dissatisfied? Ah, I see. It can’t be helped~. If you want to see it so badly, I’ll wear it instead!」

「………」

I was an idiot to think of her in a better way. Kuh, I should have left her behind.

Still, since she was acting as the best seamstress, Lily’s performance was perfect. The skirts of the three were adjusted to a natural length as if they had always been like that from the start. In addition, a simple barrier effect, which didn’t exist before, was also added. It was a splendid result. In this respect, I can say that Lily did a really good job.

「Ah, I just leveled up.」

「…… Congrats.」

Incidentally, it seems that her job level has increased. Isn’t it time for a swap battle within the Great Eight Demons?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chinatsu borrowed a room in the demon castle of Vakala and opened a temporary consultation office. Since she didn’t advertise it, she thought that it would be enough even if only a few people came to visit. However, her expectations were soon overturned. As soon as she opened the door to put up the sign, there was a line outside the room that made her dizzy. It was like the scene before the opening of a famous restaurant where you have to wait in line to eat. Or perhaps it would be better to call it an elaborate Halloween costume parade, since the people in line were all undead.

「「「「「Oooooh!」」」」」

And the undead cheered for some reason. Chinatsu’s mind went black for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and decided to check the situation.

「U-Um, everyone, where did you hear about my consultation office…?」

「Y-Yes! Vakala-sama said that we can talk and shake hands with Chinatsu-sama, the 32nd rank of the Sixty Six Demon Generals, if we come here. That’s why we rushed here!」

「Ooh, that person is Chinatsu-sama, the one who just joined the Sixty Six Demon Generals! She’s beautiful as the rumor says!」

「I heard that she took part in the swap battle continuously and had winning streak.」

「Really!? She raised her rank faster than Kira!? I’m now her fan!」

「Hey, weren’t you a devoted fan of the Irygal family? You are going to disguise yourself as a human and go to Maria-sama’s live concert next time, right?」

「About that, Maria-sama is doing it on another continent and she won’t do it on the Dai continent for a while. As her old fan, I’m happy about it, but I feel a little complicated.」

「Excuse me! Are there the 31st rank Haruna-sama and the 33rd rank Touko-sama in the room!? Can I shake hands with both of them too!?」

「………」

Unable to bear it, Chinatsu held her head on the spot, and at the same time, she wondered what to do. The undead that have gathered are all saying things that are too unexpected for her. Surprisingly, Carmine’s undead are faddists. Perhaps they are hungry for entertainment due to the nature of the country that’s lack of other species.

(There are many things I want to say, but I have to correct the misinformation first. I feel sorry for destroying their dreams, but the information is wrong to begin with.)

Chinatsu made up her mind and raised her face.

「Everyone, please listen! This is not a handshake event, and Haruna and Touko are not here! The rumors you heard are wrong!」

「「「「「EEEEEEHHHH!?」」」」」

The undead cried out in unison, giving off a sense of tragedy as if they were about to die. Some of them even put their hands on the floor, making it very easy to see how disappointed they are.

「And here’s an additional announcement for everyone! I will now explain the original purpose of this place!」

But then again, it’s Chinatsu we’re talking about. She didn’t forget to explain what kind of place this is. The point is to solve the problems of the undead, so she just needs to have them use the consultation office.

(I was a bit surprised earlier, but thinking about it calmly, this many people are common even at the headquarters of the knight order! If I solve each problem carefully and precisely, I can handle them without any problems! Don’t underestimate me. This level of stress is just a mere child’s play!)

Now, it’s time for Chinatsu’s awakening――

「――Chinatsu-sama, thank you for your advices. I couldn’t shake your hand, but your help made my heart feel better. Please let me come again when I’m having trouble. Well then, I will take my leave.」

「Yes, just because you’re undead, please don’t overdo it. Please try to die in moderation. Take care.」

After seeing of the zombie monster, Chinatsu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that today’s work was over. He was the last visitor, meaning that Chinatsu has splendidly finished her work and successfully releasing the undead from their worries. Her messiah-like activity called even more fans, and even though the number of people in line increased midway, she managed to overcome it.

「To be honest, I was almost reached my limit, but I’m glad that the undead had the same worries as humans….」

――――Knock knock.

Just as she was feeling relieved, someone knocked on the door of the consultation office.
