Chapter 422 – Lazy Melty
After meeting Lime and the others―or rather, after being entertained? Besides, I was the one being entertained, not the one doing it. By the time I was done, the sun had already set, and it took me a while to understand how they took turns being used as my chair or bed and how they wanted me to give them a full body massage.
“Why didn’t Kosuke-san come to me?”
“Because, uh… the timing wasn’t right, I guess.”
And at the dinner table, I was tangled up with Melty. It was a mess of violence and power. It is very bad. Help me, Sylphy!
“I heard that you spent a certain amount of time with everyone but Melty, so I can’t really defend you.”
“Oh, Kosuke-san didn’t come to see me either.”
“Mother…”
Sylphy makes an indescribable expression at Seraphita-san’s words. No, yes, it’s a complicated feeling for Sylphy. I’m sorry, it’s my… no, I don’t think it’s all my fault. Maybe it is. Let’s put it that way.
As I glanced around to see what was going on, my eyes met those of Aquawill-san. Then her expression, which had been a blank stare, became openly sullen. Huh? Is Aquawill-san angry, too? It’s true that I didn’t go to greet her upon my return, but you know.
“Even Kosuke isn’t a leisurely person, and he only has one body, so it would be wrong to blame him for such trivial matters as whose place he went to and when, wouldn’t it?”
Grande, perhaps unable to see the situation, utters a rare admonishing remark. The dragon’s voice, which was not just a last word, quieted the room.
“And Melty’s busy because you’re trying to do everything yourself, aren’t you? You need to learn to pass your work on to others.”
“…Nngh.”
“Melty just makes grunting noises.”
“I think that’s a new expression… Well, I agree with you that Melty is a bit overworked. You could give the job to someone else so that you don’t have to stress too much. Isn’t that okay?”
“If it were that easy, I’d do it too…”
Melty plops down on the table. Apparently, Grande gave her a scathing review, and she was emotionally devastated.
“I wish we had someone who was politically balanced, competent, and trustworthy.”
“How about Seraphita-san or Driada?”
“No, both of them have already rejected me.”
“If Kosuke-san wants it, I’ll take the job.”
“If Kosuke-kun wants to―Mother, you’re too fast.”
“Huh…? You refused before, saying that I, the former companion of the king, shouldn’t be involved now.”
“Unless Kosuke-san wants me to.”
“You’re right.”
“Eehh…?”
Melty crumpled up on the dining table. No, I feel like she’s already de-energized and even half-liquefied. I’m sorry for something I said.
“I can’t do it anymore. I can’t get back on my feet. Kosuke-san, please comfort me. It’s all your fault.”
“It’s not my fault, is it? Well, I don’t mind comforting you.”
“Then tomorrow will be my reward. I’m looking forward to it.”
“Seraphita-san is very strong, isn’t she? Even though she looks so fragile and beautiful.”
“She is a former queen, after all.”
Seraphita-san smiles at me. I wonder, has it all blown over? It has been some time since we rescued Seraphita-san and the others, and the situation has changed drastically. Sylphy is finally pregnant, so maybe her attitude has changed.
“Kosuke-kun, I’ll do my best as well.”
“Oh, don’t push yourself too hard.”
“Huh? Kosuke seems to get along well with Dri-neesama.”
“That’s a bit of a stretch after spending so much time together, isn’t it? That’s what she wanted, right?”
“That is true. I’m glad they got along better than I expected.”
When Sylphy turned her eyes to Isla after saying that, Isla silently gave Sylphy a piece of her mind and showed it to her. Is that a sign that I made it? Well, I think it was thanks to Isla that I was able to get along with Driada in a normal sense, not in a weird sense. It feels like a wall has come down, doesn’t it?
“I have to let Kosuke comfort Melty for today. If she continues like this, it will interfere with tomorrow’s political affairs, so please somehow get her back to normal by tomorrow morning.”
Sylphy pointed at the half-liquefied Melty. It’s hard to believe that this is the same Melty I know, but I’m supposed to put her back together in just one night? Isn’t that a reckless request?
“I’ll take care of it.”
“Hug. Kosuke-san, pick me up.”
“Yes, yes…”
I pick up Melty, who is regressing like a toddler and in good spirits, and take her to the bedroom. How can I comfort her? For now, I just put her down to sleep and cuddle her. Oh, ouch, ouch, when you rub your head so much, your horns, it hurts me! Please forgive me!
