Evening at the salon.
I who came back home a little earlier, b.u.mped into Alice who also came back early.
The both of us were alone in the salon.
Others aren"t likely to return until some time, as Elza and Ena are still working on transferring the items on the Magic Cart.
"——-And it went boom and bam, she"s so flashy and amazing!" (Alice)
Alice was having a friendly conversation with her monster buddies.
She excitedly explained the success of Celeste she witness today at the village.
"Heeh, I wanted to see it as well." (Ryouta)
"I can show you!" (Alice)
"Exactly how?" (Ryouta)
Alice stood up excitingly, with a bright smile on her face as she commanded her fellow monster buddies on her shoulders.
The SD sized monsters jumped off of her shoulders all at once.
Bonbon waved her hands from side to side as if launching something to Boney-chan and Slime-chan were pushed to the center accordingly.
After they gathered in the center, Meramera sneaks behind them and started burning up, showing the two bodies being burnt in a comical effect.
Visually, it"s really easy to understand.
"Wow, but it doesn"t make sense to defeat them all together like that." (Ryouta)
"But there is! Isn"t it better to defeat them all at once?" (Alice)
"I see, so Alice is the type who instead of popping the bubble wraps one by one, you instead twist and squeeze the entire bubble wrap to pop them all at once." (Ryouta)
"What do you mean?" (Alice)
She tilts her neck with a carefree smile.
"Wait a sec." (Ryouta)
I said, as I went into my room and took something precious.
I returned to the salon and showed it.
"What"s that?" (Alice)
"It"s the drop from a Takarabako." (Ryouta)
Takarabako.
A monster that looks very similar to a rogue monster.
As the name implies, it"s a mimic-like monster whose edge of the chest has pointy and sharp teeth lined perfectly around.
I"ve encountered it several times before, and everytime it drops something, it"s a different item back in earth.
And one of them is this bubble wrap.
"What is it for?" (Alice)
"Basically to kill time." (Ryouta)
I showed as I slowly pop the bubbles.
A sense of peace envelops me, as I can do this all night.
"Heh~" (Alice)
"You wanna give it a go?" (Ryouta)
"Yeap~" (Alice)
Alice received the bubble wrap and begins to crush it.
She spread some on the table, letting her monster buddies squeezed on by one with their SD bodies.
"Oo~ Hmm~ Heh~~" (Alice)
Alice makes some sound effects while popping the bubbles.
She"s into it, but it doesn"t look like she"ll have a peace of mind playing it.
Instead, she replied with: "instead of that" and grabbed both ends of the sheets and started twisting and turning it.
"Ahahahahha, this is fun!" (Alice)
"That"s what I thought you would"ve done." (Ryouta)
One can tell their personalities on how they pop the bubbles.
People like Alice who loves to finish everything at once just to feel good.
"Well, after the monsters were all burnt into crisp, a stranger approached her." (Alice)
Alice talks while squeezing the bubble wrap sheet.
It took her awhile to resume back to the story of Celeste.
"Someone you don"t know?" (Ryouta)
"Ehmm——" (Alice)
"I"m home. Ara, it"s only you two?"
In the middle of her words, the rumoured Celeste returned and entered the salon.
"Welcome back~, how did it go?" (Alice)
"How what went?" (Celeste)
Celeste tilts her neck and asks.
"That one." (Alice)
"Ara, so you saw?" (Celeste)
"Yeah~ The headhunter!" (Alice)
"Eh?" (Ryouta)
I suddenly leak out my voice as I turned to look at Celeste.
Celeste smiled bitterly and looked at me with a stern look.
"A scout approached you?" (Ryouta)
"Yeah. They offered all the money and people I need, so I don"t have to be independent." (Celeste)
"Now that"s amazing." (Ryouta)
"It"s not that great." (Celeste)
Alice stood up, with the squeezed bubble wrap sheet on her hand, then stretched her hand on her hip.
What is she doing?
"You"ll get 500 Million Piros a year." (Alice)
"500 million! So they guarantee you that amount annually?" (Ryouta)
"Yeah, that"s what they said." (Celeste)
"And they prepare everything for you even?" (Ryouta)
"Yes." (Celeste)
I repeated what she said, as she nods.
That is…….something I would"ve never gotten in my life.
Whether it"s sponsors or lottery, that is an offer no one has ever received before.
Unless you tell me that: "The Oil King"s back", I would"ve never believed you.
I see…….Well I mean it"s a given.
The current Celeste has grown.
It"s not surprising that such a story would appear.
"Alright, I"ll tell Emily that we shall celebrate——-" (Ryouta)
"I rejected their offer." (Celeste)
"——-your party fueeeeeeee?!" (Ryouta) (Don"t make me turn to the useless G.o.ddess I tell ya!)
I was so surprised that I made a stupid voice.
"Y-You refused?" (Ryouta)
"Yeah." (Celeste)
"But they gave such good conditions?" (Ryouta)
"I know right." (Celeste)
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, you don"t get it Ryouta." (Alice)
Alice was holding the bubble wrap on her wrist, raised her fingers with her other hand and shook it.
"Ain"t it already obvious?" (Alice)
"Yeap." (Celeste)
What"s so obvious about it?
Alice came close to me while I was confused.
"Ain"t that great, ey you flirter~ ey ey." (Alice)
"No wait, what do you mean?" (Ryouta)
I think it"s better to clear up the story.
I don"t think the story had anything suspicious.
Especially when Emily and Celeste, who are both famous and strong.
For example, if Emily decides to do a crowdfunding of something like [I want to create a new Emily Hammer], I be you she"ll be getting billions of dollars in an hour.
"Of course I"ll refuse. No matter what the condition is, I will not leave here." (Celeste)
"I get you~" (Alice)
Alice grinned playfully.
"That"s true but." (Ryouta)
Celeste calmly smiled as she stared at me.
"I"m not going to those who come after me just because I"m strong." (Celeste)
"…….Aaah." (Ryouta)
These were her feelings, as I looked in her eyes.
I"m not sure about one thing, but another thing"s for sure.
It"s that she"s incredibly grateful.
I met her when she was at her lowest.
It"s natrual that she can"t trust people who comes after her right now.
"Even if it wasn"t for that, I"ll never go anywhere else. I"ll stay her forever." (Celeste)
Celeste who continued to stared at me, with her eyes only saying: "I"ll always be by your side".
"I see." (Ryouta)
That made me extremely happy.
