68 In the moonlight (2/2)

'Where am I ......'

I don't know the room.

It was like I was tucked into a bed with my clothes in the middle of the room.

The soft comforter was very comfortable.

The bed was big, and it looked like it could sleep four or five people together. It looked like the room Rage-kun was using.

'Are you awake?　Lady Syrone.

Someone comes in.

'Regina, ....... Thank you, you carried it for me.

But Regina shook her head.

''No, it's not. It's not me.

'Eh, ....... Who then?

Could it be Mr. Raige? Then I should thank you.

'Where are you guys now, Rage?'

Probably still in the middle of the feast, sir.

Yes, .......

I realize that I'm about to get out of my bunk.

I've been sleeping with my clothes on and it's all worn out. Maybe I should change my clothes.

'Hey Regena, do you have anything to change into? I'd like to change if I could.

Regina nodded as I asked.

''Yes, in that case, I have some clothes that would suit you, Shirone-sama.

Rigena says, and holds out something from the room.

What Ligeena held out was an underwear-type armor. In other words, it was a bikini armor.

''Eh ....... Why ......?''

I couldn't help but mutter.

I pressed my forehead. Why not! I resist the urge to poke around.

This underwear-type armor is worn by female warriors who believe in Amazona, the goddess of hunting and warfare, daughter of the god of war, Thors.

In the mythology of this world, Toles did not get along with Heybos, the god of blacksmithing, and did not have his armor made for him.

However, Torls said ”I don't need your armor” and stripped off his clothes and replaced it with the fur of a magical beast.

The human warriors who are followers of Tolls don't wear armor because he doesn't wear it. And when they do, they wear furs.

The goddess Amazona, daughter of Thors, also decided not to wear armor and instead fought naked.

However, the goddess Feria was angry, so the two gods decided to wear only their underwear.

The goddess Amazona's breasts swayed when she fought, so she sought a sturdy undergarment, and so the Bikinia armor was born.

This bikini armor was introduced to the human world, and the Amazones, who were followers of Amazona, wore it for religious reasons.

Ligena offers the bikini armor to them with a smile.

There is no evil intent in Regena's smile.

She is seriously offering it to me.

It makes my head hurt somehow.

If it were Rage-kun or Nao-chan, I'd think it was a joke, but it's Regena.

It's not a joke for her as a resident of this world.

In fact, I've seen a number of women dressed up in amazing outfits.

But why is there a bikini armor in this room?

'I'm sorry ....... I need you to stop wearing that outfit if you can.

Regena looks at me curiously when I say it.

''What? But I'm sure Master Silone has worn this armor before: ....... He said it looked good on him.

I'm about to blow it.

I had no choice but to wear that one in order to see Kroki again. Now that we're reunited, there's no need to wear it.

I didn't expect Kuroki to see me in that form.

But still, what is he blowing into Regena? I'm not going to be able to get it right.

'No. ....... Preferably, really, a different outfit, please.

I plead.

'Well ....... Then I'll have another outfit for you.

Regena turns to leave with the bikini armor, looking a little disappointed.

'Wait, Regena, ......'

I stall Regena.

'Yes, sir?'

I won't wear it now, but I'll get that armor for later: ......

I'm going to get the bikini armor.

Maybe if I put this on, I can get Kuroki away from that girl.

It's a silly idea, but for some reason I feel it's effective when dealing with Kuroki.

The black-haired wise man Chiyuki.

Mr. Chiyuki. This is quite good.

Nao, who is next to me, says while eating the meat.

He is eating a grilled yamane (Japanese yamane) in honey.

A yamane is a mountain rat.

This mountain rat is not a wild one, but an edible one, farmed with spiral-shaped pottery.

Even though it's edible, it's rat meat, so I had some resistance to eating it at first, but it was surprisingly tasty when I tried it.

Anyway, I feel like Nao, who looks like a cat, looks better when she eats rat meat.

It's not just dormouse meat, but all sorts of other treats in front of us.

The party is still going on despite the appearance of Kalkinos.

I guess it's because we cleaned up so easily and didn't think much of the incident.

Besides, he seems to think that no matter what happens, we're here to help him.

It's already nighttime.

The moonlight shines on the ship, and it is as bright as in the daytime because of the magical lights.

Dancers are dancing and acrobats are showing their acrobatic skills.

Aside from the acrobats, many of the dancers and entertainers are followers of the goddess Ischthia.

As long as they do not contradict the Goddess Feria's doctrine, their existence is acceptable.

In the first place, I hear that even the Goddess Feria likes to dance.

In other words, you can believe in Ishtia as long as you do not engage in prostitution or gambling.

However, both of these are prohibited, but they are sometimes done openly.

However, there are various kinds of prostitutes. There is also a high-class prostitute like Hetaira of ancient Greece.

I heard that there is a person who becomes the queen of a country by her good looks among them.

But even so, they are not well thought of by the Feria faithful.

The upper class, where there are many Feriahs and Odysseus, want to do something about it, but there seems to be nothing they can do about it.

In the first place, there's nothing to be done about it, since some of the Odis congregation also fall in love with a prostitute from the Ishtia congregation.

Lust is not something you can suppress, even if you try. This is the difficult part of politics, isn't it?

People watching the dancers cheered.

Reno jumped in and began to dance.

Reno is a good dancer, having learned to dance in his former world as well.

The men watching are glued to Reno.

I frown a little.

The men's eyes are a bit dangerous because of Reno's revealing clothes.

He may not care about it, but I'm not comfortable with my friend looking at me like that.

Rage doesn't seem to care that Reno is looking at him like that. He's enjoying Reno's dancing along with Sahoko and the women.

And a little further away, Kyoka and Kaya are there. Surrounding them are mostly men, the opposite of Reige.

Apparently, they're inviting Kyouka to join them, but Kyouka doesn't seem to be interested in them at all.

Kyouka said she would go out with a man who was stronger than Rage and had a better face than her.

But there are very few men in this world who can beat Rage.

I know of only one person who seems to fall into that category, but what do you think?

Kyouka doesn't seem to be going easy on her, though.

'Oh, it looks like Shirone-san is back.

Nao looks up at the sky.

When Nao looks in the direction he is looking, he sees a white ne flying on wings of light.

Shirohne comes straight at you.

I'm back. Everyone.

Cyrone lands down to us and erases the wings on her back.

The appearance of the angel causes the people who were watching Reno to look at Sirone.

''Sirone. Are you alright now?

'Yes!　It's all right!　I'm sober now!

It wasn't the drunkenness that I asked about.

However, from the look on Syrone's face, she seemed to have regained her energy.

''You seem to have regained some kind of energy, what's going on?''

I ask, and Shirone shakes her head.

'Nope, nothing. It's just that I had a dream. I just knew I couldn't be depressed.

Cyrone laughs and replies.

She seemed depressed that her childhood friend was gone, but she seems to be fine now.

'You've already made Lino less noticeable now that Sirone is here.

Reno comes over to me and says with a slightly angry look on his face.

But he doesn't really look angry. The way he's angry is adorable.

''I'm sorry. Reno-chan.''

Cyrone apologizes.

'You'll have to dance with me as punishment,'

Saying that, Reno pulls Shirone along with him.

'Hey Reno!

Cyrone is forced to go with Reno, who pulls her along.

Cyrone hasn't formally learned to dance, but she must have good taste. She is as good a dancer as Reno.

Cyrone gives up and dances with Lino, giving up as she has no choice.

The two of them dance so beautifully in the moonlight.

'I don't know what happened, but you seem to have blown it.

Rage comes to me.

'Looks like it,'

I nodded.

'It's a good thing Syrone is feeling better.

'I was going to comfort her if it happened. ......

I look at the women behind Rage as I say this.

It looks like they were going to comfort Sirone, but do they have time for that?

But Rage was Rage, and he seemed to be worried about Silone.

'Rage-kun. We're going to be investigating tomorrow, so let's keep it in moderation.

I say to Rage and he gives me a strange look.

'Oh, the investigation. 'I forgot about that,'

I almost squeak.

But, well, this is Rage. Rage has no mercy on its enemies, but it doesn't take root.

It forgets what's past. That's a good thing and a bad thing.

”And that priest will do some research.

Rage says comfortably.

'Decius, the Law Knight of Odis, is not here for the investigation.

'Surely we can wait for Sir Decius to report back before we do: ......

Knights of the law are given authority by the state to investigate crimes, but their powers are small.

Sometimes even the best law knights are unable to investigate, no matter how good they are.

Therefore, we don't know how much progress the investigation will make.

Look at Rage. It's not very serious. He doesn't like investigations and other sober work.

Will Sir Decius be okay? I hope you can find some clues: .......

And what are the perpetrators of this incident doing now?

I looked up at the moon and thought so.

Dark Knight Kroki.

'Master. Master Sirone is back.

Regena reports back to me.

'Yes, thank you, Regena,'

'I can't let you meet face to face with Shirone, since Coona is here.

'Kroki, what's this?　You look like a cat's tail.

Coona picks up one of the contents from the box Zeal gave her.

The object she picks up definitely looks like a cat's tail. There is a round metal fixture at the base of that cat's tail.

Coona looks at the cat's tail curiously.

''Um. Maybe it's something to wear: ......'

I say in a blunt tone.

'Ho!　It's to be worn!　How do you put it on?!

Coona asks innocently.

I know how to put this trinket on. But I don't think it's a good idea to explain the truth to Kuna.

Hmm. ”Hmm, I don't know how to put it on. I've forgotten how to put it on. Ha-ha-ha.

I laugh and cover myself up.

What do you do when you're offered a box from Zeal and you get this stuff? And the reason inside me whispered.

But at the same time, the demon inside me whispered to me.

'Keep it,' it said.

So I had no choice.

All of the costumes are sometimes without the ability to hide the body.

However, although it's a good idea to get them, it's not good enough for Kuna to wear them.

This costume will probably go to the storage room.

However, one of the costumes was a bikini armor, so I left it with Regena to give to Syrone.

The reason being that it looked good on Syrone.

In fact, Syrone's bikini armor looked good on her.

I'd like to see it up close if I could, but probably not.

'Sir. By the way, what are you going to do with the daughter you brought home?

Ligeena asks.

The girl you brought home is Shenna.

Bringing Shenna home made Coona a little grumpy and difficult.

But she couldn't leave Shenna there.

If he left her there, she would surely kill him.

'Well, let's see what we'll do: ......

I don't actually think about it.

What should I do?

Nothing came to mind.

In the first place, it seems that Zeal does not intend to do any harm to this country.

That is why I will inform Turia of this.

I have no intention of getting any more involved with Zeal now that I have confirmed his intentions.

The problem is Talavos, the man Zeal was with. I sensed something dangerous about him.

I heard that the dwarves in this Ariadia city are using rare materials to prevent the wards from being put up easily.

If Zarxis, the god of death, tried to do something, he would at least be able to notice it. But there are many ways to do no harm.

I have a lot on my mind.

”Kuroki!　Does it look good on you?!

The cooner puts the cat's tail on his clothes and shakes his hips.

This is going to kill Moe!

Yes, she's very pretty.

I pat Kuna's head. Then Kuna looks happy.

Well, there's no point in thinking about it.

I'll have a better idea in the meantime.

For now, he decided to enjoy the trip with Kuna.
