Chapter 211 Running Dragon, So Cute
'Ping'
"Ah!"
I woke up to the sound of a message on my phone. The battery's almost dead. Oh, I fell asleep with my phone out. Let me put it back in my inventory and charge it.
"Let's see, what's this?"
'A red running dragon, so cute.'
"Huh? Does that mean they're already here?"
'Ping'
'Look, look!'
A photo of Centrena and a red running dragon side by side was sent. No doubt about it, they've already arrived.
I hurriedly got up, washed my face, and brushed my teeth. Then there was a knock on the door.
"Y-yes?"
"Tatsuma-sama."
It was the landlady, Liryardea-san, not the landlord.
"Yes, yes."
When I opened the door, she smiled wryly.
"Um, excuse me. Your guest is waiting in the dining hall."
"Got it. Please tell them I'll be there soon."
"Of course."
When I checked my phone, it was still only 7 o'clock. Who could be coming to pick me up? Could it be that Bergalide has something important to say?
But why the cafeteria instead of the reception? Is it Jagrute-san from Shrine? Anyway, I shouldn't keep them waiting. I should go quickly.
I opened the door leading to the cafeteria. And there was...
"Good morning, big brother."
"Wow, Maya-chan... when did you..."
She's having breakfast made by Liryardea-san's husband, Genarueid-dosan, the cook here. This morning, it's the same as yesterday: simmered root vegetables and plump barley risotto. That's delicious.
"It's delicious. Come on, sit next to me, dear big brother."
"Stop calling me that."
"Hahaha. Big brother, the food here is delicious, just like Japanese cuisine."
"I'm glad you like it. Tatsuma-sama, please have some too."
"Yes. Itadakimasu."
I decided to sit next to Maya-chan and have breakfast together.
"Maya also got a room here."
Because it's in front of Genarueid-san, maybe her way of talking is a little different.
"Oh, really? So, when did you arrive?"
"Um, this morning?"
"Centrena worked so hard!"
"Well, you know, I found some kind of air current that led me here."
"Air current, huh? Could it be that thing? The trick that brought me here?"
It's a mystery how I arrived here sooner than expected.
"Maybe!"
"By the way, where's Centrena?"
"Yeah, she's talking with Garuforeda-kun and the others."
"I see."
"Anyway, after we finish eating, I'll introduce you to the new attendant in my brother's room."
"Oh, right. Is it from Rosalier-san's squad?"
"Yeah, that's right. Maybe it'll be directly under my brother?"
"I see. So, I'll have someone like Berberi-san with me too?"
Actually, around me, except for Corbett-san, everyone is a woman led by Rosalier-san. It might be nice, I guess.
"Thank you for the meal."
"Thank you for the meal."
"I'm glad you ate everything. Look forward to tonight too, okay?"
"Yes."
"Yes."
So, I came to my room to meet the new attendant.
As soon as I opened the door, there was Maya-chan's personal ninja, Berberiguru-san, standing next to her.
"Tatsuma-sama, I'm relieved to see you're safe."
"Oh, right. Sorry, I worried Berberi-san and the others."
"Wait, wait, brother. What about Maya?"
"Yeah, sorry. Maya-chan."
"Yeah. I guess I have to forgive you."
If I look closely, the person next to Berberi-san, is smaller. Maybe someone like that would be good for stealth.
"Tatsuma-sama, this person here will serve Tatsuma-sama. Please introduce yourself."
'Introduce yourself,' what does that mean?
"Yes. I am Dorchuneta."
"Huh? Wait, a woman?"
The voice certainly sounds like it. There's a resemblance to Berberi-san.
"Yes. I am indeed... the real big sister of a certain someone..."
"His big sister?"
"Yes. I couldn't refuse..."
"Seriously?"
"Hahaha."
Maya-chan is laughing on the bed. It's fine because she's wearing something like tights, but a skirt wouldn't be okay, right?
"So, are you a maid?"
"No, I learned magic when I was young, or rather, it was drilled into me. I am a higher-level magician than that certain someone..."
"Really?"
Berberi-san, who's usually cool, seems uncertain now.
"Hey, big brother."
"Yeah?"
"About Dorchune-san..."
She's calling her Dorchune-san?
"Yeah."
"I heard she passed Rosalier-san's exam in one go. Seems she's pretty strong."
"Seriously?"
Rumors say Rosalier-san gave permission or taught magic to Berberi-san. How much of a cheat is this Dorchuneta-san?
"Also, she can pretend to be a maid."
"Pretend? So, does that mean she can cook too?"
"I cannot. I'm not good at it."
"Huh?"
A quick denial.
"Hahaha. You'd think so, but she's more like Ber-san."
"Anyway, I will serve Tatsuma-sama, under orders from Rosalier-sama..."
"Yeah, got it. Nice to meet you, Dorchuneta-san."
"Sure. You can call me casually like your sister."
"Well, calling me Dorchu-san sounds weird, so... Neta-san, is that okay?"
"Yes. I'm happy with that."
It's like how I call Diemirena "Rena-san." Since she's Berberi-san's cousin, it's fine, right?
"Oh, speaking of Berberi-san."
"Yes, what is it?"
"Can Berberi-san climb that rocky mountain?"
It's steep and has overhangs here and there, so I think rock climbing would be tough. Plus, I can't even see how tall it is because it's hidden by the sea of clouds.
"...Yes, indeed. At worst, if I could get Tatsuma-sama to revive me."
"Even if you can't, just say you'll climb it. Really, this child..."
"No, sister. I can't estimate its height."
"We serve our master. Wasn't accomplishing that our duty?"
"Well, that's true..."
"Anyway, don't push yourself too hard. Just research the actual situation of this country, okay?"
"Then, I'll do it by today if possible."
"Good luck. Maya-sama and Tatsuma-sama will protect you, so don't worry."
"Yes. Then, I'll be off."
Berberi-san disappeared in an instant. Oh, when I noticed, Maya-chan was sniffing around Neta-san. Is she unfazed because she's Berberi-san's big sister?
"Oh, Neta-san, when did you get here?"
While talking to Berberi-san, she changed from a ninja outfit to a handmaiden style maid outfit like Rena-san.
"Yes. Rosalier-sensei taught me that this is a maid's taste."
"Really?"
