Chapter 136
Chapter 136 – Roxy’s Proposal
[Fai! Fai!]
Hearing someone calling my name, I opened my eyes to the sight of Roxy puffing her cheeks .
She’s already decked out for the trip . Wearing new white colored travelling clothes and her sword already strapped on her waist . She seemed ready to go at any given time .
In comparison to that, I was still lying in my bed with pajamas on .
[Sorry . Guess I overslept . ]
[That doesn’t matter . We are still within schedule . But! What’s the meaning of this?]
[Eh…]
Roxy was pointing to the spot beside me .
And when my eyes followed her finger…
[Uaah, why the!]
Mimir sometimes fell asleep right after sucking my blood . I have given up trying to avoid that, but… who knows that there would be one more person in my bed?!
Light blue hair… there is only one person I could think of .
[Eris!!]
I was surprised that she’s here . When I opened up the blanket that was covering her…
[Eh…]
What was she thinking? She’s dressed in the most unreasonable way .
No dress . No underwear . Simply put, she’s dressed in nothing at all .
But Roxy immediately closed my eyes, causing me to lose sight of Eris .
[What is the meaning of this! Fai?]
[No… I should be the one asking here . What is going on?!]
While me and Roxy were arguing, Mimir was woken up by the noise we made . The groaning leaking out from her mouth showed that she was sleeping soundly earlier .
[Funyaa… . How noisy… What is going on?]
[Whose fault do you think it is? Mimir should’ve gone and slept in her own room . Cause it’ll be me who get in trouble if otherwise!]
[Arara . Apparently I was too tired yesterday, so after sucking Fate-sama’s blood, I got sleepy and fell asleep . Pardon me . But it’s alright since we are brother and sister . ]

[It is NOT alright!]
Roxy scolded Mimir . But scolding seemed to go in one ear and out the other for her .
[Oh, if it isn’t Roxy-sama! Good morning . Getting along with Fate-sama this early in the morning, aren’t you? Are you two doing blindfold play?]
[It’s because… Eris-sama is sleeping over there, while wearing almost nothing . ]
[Eris-sama? Nn? … . . EeEeeeeeeeh, Fate-sama! Please explain this! What were you doing while I was sleeping right next to you? Please explain in detail]
Roxy was blindfolding me, and on the other hand, Mimir was pulling my shirt and shaking my body incessantly .
Please stop! I just woke up here!
I didn’t really do anything though .
I also wanted to know why Eris is sleeping naked right next to me!
[I have no idea too . Eris! Wake up, Eris!]
Eris woke up after I screamed her name several times .
I couldn’t see because my eyes were covered, but I could tell from the way her bare skin was rubbing on me .
[Good morning… I wonder what’s going on . So noisy]
[Milord is the main cause here . Why sleeping here, and naked as well!]
[Ara? I was going to sleep on my own room, but looks like I made a mistake and ended up here . And I usually sleep naked . See, the temperature has become warmer . Can you tell as well?]
[I certainly cannot!]
[Ee, is that so? But I can certainly feel it today . ]
Eris hugged me as she said so cheerfully . Of course I couldn’t see because Roxy is still blindfolding me, but the sensation of Eris’ soft body pressing against me was very apparent .
[Well then, good night!]
[Do not go to sleep again! Please settle this up first!]
Roxy put more power into her hand that was covering my eyes . Whilst Mimir seemed to be biting on my arm .
I’m starting to miss the refreshing moment of waking up in the morning back at the Barbatos mansion . Now it’s been replaced by this noisy morning .
Before this, I’ve been either travelling alone or only with Myne . Having three girls travelling with me seems like more than I could handle .
If every morning ends up like this, I don’t think my body would hold .
I needed to somehow persuade Eris to explain to the two girls that nothing had happened .
And somewhat settled the misunderstanding between Roxy and Mimir .

[Eris-sama, you cannot just sleep in Fai’s room all you want like that . ]
[Ee! I can’t?]
[Obviously!]
[Then I’ll make sure to wear some clothes next time . That should settle it . ]
[That would not do . Eris-sama should sleep in her own room!]
[Eee~, but I don’t want to sleep alone . Look, even Fate seems happy with me being here . ]
[Fai, is that so?]
Oi! Don’t pass the ball to me at this kind of timing .
Seeing me desperately shaking my head, Roxy nodded in response .
[It is too unscrupulous, especially since there will be important things happening soon . Eris-sama should sleep in her own room from now on]
[Ee~]
[Mimir too . I know you have a constitution that requires you to ingest Fai’s blood, but you cannot sleep in his bed like this]
[Eeeee~]
Both Eris and Mimir raised a voice of dissatisfaction at Roxy’s rebuke .
As for me, I just wanted Eris to put on some clothes already . Otherwise, I would be kept blindfolded like this forever .
But Eris beat me in speaking back to Roxy .
[But Roxy always monopolize Fate . Can’t you share some of him with us?]
[That is…]
[Even yesterday, you went to his hometown with him . ]
[Indeed, indeed . ]
Mimir chimed in to help corner Roxy .
But Roxy simply refused with a louder voice .
[That still would not do! Mimir is Eris-sama’s caretaker, yes? Please help Eris-sama put on some clothes immediately . Come on now, Eris-sama . ]
Somehow, Eris and Mimir seemed to be unable to take Roxy’s angry rebuking anymore, thus finally leaving the room .
I can always rely on Roxy on times like this . While still keeping me blindfolded, she spoke to me,

[Fai is so full of gaps . Would you please, be more careful so that you will not end up troubling me?]
[My apologies . ]
Those two other girls were too unreadable and unreasonable sometimes .
No matter how careful you were, the other side will simply come up with a hand that completely nullify all the preparation to repel them, and they would play such a hand without hesitation .
And sleep time is pretty much the time when I was the most unguarded . As I was told by Greed and Luna, during my training in the spiritual world, I won’t be able to wake up at all .
When Roxy finally release the blindfold, I was treated to the sight of her smiling . Because I knew her quite well, I understood immediately that she’s up to no good just from her expression .
Roxy was actually fairly similar to those two girls . She’ll smile even more when she’s trying to play pranks on me .
[If this kind of thing continues on, maybe I should also share a room with Fai next time . ]
[He?]
[Why such reaction! Does that mean a no?]
Her frowning face approached mine .
I’m grateful and happy at the same time, but…
[I’m just… . nervous]
[So, so do I . But I cannot just let this going anymore! At this rate, everytime I turn my eyes away, Mimir and Eris-sama would sneak into Fai’s room]
[That’s true . They’ve been coming nearly everyday actually . ]
[Un un, therefore I have to keep watch . ]
Roxy’s pretty face was slightly dyed in red . I imagined that my face was no different .
It gradually sunk in my mind, that I’ve actually agreed to share the same room with Roxy . But it’s too late to rescind it now .
I was reminded to my short talk with Luna――back at the Spiritual World .
For me, sharing a room with Roxy is like a dream come true .
[I’ll have to trouble you . ]
[My pleasure . Tonight then?]
Roxy reached out for my hand, then pulled me off the bed .
[I’ll go change, then . Has Roxy had breakfast?]
[Not yet . I was waiting for you to wake up . Come to the dining room once you are done . ]
Having said that, Roxy left my room with a smile .
And so, the room became quiet . I was all alone .
I felt bad for making her wait, so I changed my clothes as quickly as I could .
Taking the black sword and strapping it on my waist . Yes, preparation complete!
As I’m about to leave the room, Greed spoke to me .
『You are very popular this morning, aren’t you?』
「Oi, still talking trash? And you’ve been watching since last night, haven’t you?」
『Guess so? Mimir has been doing as per usual . Eris probably is still emotionally unstable after knowing that Libra has returned . The way I look at it, she needs some comfort, and being the spoiled girl she is, decided to sleep with Fate . 』
[I see… This Libra, is he Eris long standing enemy or something?]
『Well, you can say it that way . If there is anything more complex in it, I’m not in the know . Luna wouldn’t know either . 』
[When I looked at Eris’ face last night, I couldn’t help but to think that they’re sworn enemies or something . ]
『Hahaha, you actually started to act attentive! You really have grown up a little . 』
[What’s with always treating me like a child?]
How dare him make fun of me . Let’s tease Greed a little then .
[You know, Luna was feeling lonely last night . It’s because Greed didn’t come to visit]
『Fuhn, as if this me should care about that!』
[Is that really the case?]
『Yeah, of course . 』
[You can’t take back those words . ]
『This me does not care . 』
Greed seemed to be hellbent on insisting that he doesn’t care .
When Luna becomes the topic, he’s always been stubbornly insisted that he paid no mind for her, which piqued my interest .
Having found no need to pay more attention to Greed, I proceeded to the dining room .
I planned on what to order as I walked, while also thinking of what topic I should discuss when I talk to Roxy later .
She’s quite interested in Greed . So if I told her about his ‘relationship’ with Luna, she’ll definitely listen excitedly .
The topic to talk about during the meal time has been decided .
Imagining Greed’s true form in my head, he’s probably rolling his eyes by now .
