“Takebayashi-sama, it will soon be time for the meeting . ” [Rurunez]

“Thank you for informing me . I’ll prepare immediately . ” [Ryouma]

Around the time when the date was about to change, Rurunez-san came to inform me that it was time for the wedding meeting .

“Sorry to keep you waiting . ” [Ryouma]

“Are you alright? It’s already a bit late, but…” [Rurunez]

“It’s fine . I hunted in the night in the past . There are also times when I was so caught up with my research that I would just suddenly realize that it was already the morning of the next day . That aside, I am truly very grateful for all of your accommodations . It’s really more than I expected . ” [Ryouma]

Presently, many of my slimes are crawling about in the room I’m staying at, and the rimel birds are staying comfortably at a barn made specifically for bird-type monsters, such as themselves . And while I was waiting for the wedding meeting to begin, Rurunez-san recommended me various magic books from the library of the duke’s residence to read .

They’ve put so much effort in accommodating me that I cannot overstate just how grateful I am to them .

“This much really isn’t anything to speak of, Ryoumsama . Feel free to ask for this kind of service anytime . Anyway, shall we?” [Rurunez]

The magic tools attached to the walls of the halls illuminated the path .

It still felt dim, but it was possible to move through the halls unobstructed .

That being said…

“Rurunez-san, can I ask you a question?” [Ryouma]

“What is it, Ryoumsama?” [Rurunez]

“The thing is I’ve actually been feeling something strange since a while ago . Could it be that there are a lot of barriers here?” [Ryouma]

“Barriers? …There are indeed several barriers erected to protect the house from intruders . But there aren’t any such barriers here in particular . ” [Rurunez]

So she says, but I’ve been feeling weird ever since we left the room . I get this strange feeling a lot around corners or entrances . It felt as if someone is trying to find me… I wonder if someone is keeping an eye on me?

When I told Rurunez those vague impressions of mine, she stopped walking and turned around . It seems she had an inkling of what I was talking about .

“Perhaps it’s the house haunting fairy . ” [Rurunez]

“House Haunting Fairy?” [Ryouma]

I hear fairies are considered as monsters and can supposedly be tamed .

Are there fairies here too?

“Fairies generally live in nature, but very rarely, they sometimes live in old buildings . This place does get repaired as needed, and it is an old building… I’ve even heard of sightings of some fairies from time to time . ” [Rurunez]

She said matter-of-factly as she walked .

“Is this something that happens a lot?” [Ryouma]

“That’s right . The ojousama was living here until just half a year ago . People with strong mana are more likely to see fairies and see them . I’ve heard that fairies have previously been spotted around the ojousama and the people near her . I’ve seen them myself many times, and… I hear that when a guest from a foreign country comes with a rare item, the fairies become curious and gather . ” [Rurunez]

So, basically, these house haunting fairies don’t mean any harm to the people living here or the guests . If anything they’re an existence akin to that of a guardian god . In other words, they’re this world’s version of Japan’s Zashiki-warashi?

“Fairies like that are here…?” [Ryouma]

The strange feeling vanished .

“It’s rare for fairies to show themselves before people, so if you look for them, they’ll vanish . This is true for all fairies and not just House-Haunters . The ojousama also took her maids along with her to look for them, but she never once managed to find one herself . ” [Rurunez]

“I see . ” [Ryouma]

“It would probably be best not to be overly concerned with the fairies . If they see you as someone they could have fun with teasing, they will tease you, you know? Or at least that’s what they say . ” [Rurunez]

Real fairies . I want to see one, but if they’re just going to mess with me, it would probably be best to forget about them .

While we were talking about that, we arrived at the meeting place .

“Excuse me…?” [Ryouma]

There was no one responding, so I thought no one was here just yet, but then I saw Hyuzu-san .

Only, he was resting his chin on the conspicuous round table at the center of the room .

Apparently, he came ahead of us and was already seated at the head of the table . Is he feeling unwell?

He looks kind of languid… Hmm? Is he sleeping?

After taking a few steps closer, I was able to hear him snoring .

“He’s like this today too, huh…” [Rurunez]

“Today too?” [Ryouma]

“Recently, he’s been like this every night . ” [Rurunez]

Apparently, he’s tired because of that training he needs to be promoted that I heard of in the afternoon . Although the guards trust him and he has a good relationship with other people, the increase in office work is really hard on him . …He reminds me of students preparing for an exam .

“I’m happy that he’s seriously thinking about me and our future, but I’m worried that he might break down at this rate . ” [Rurunez]

She looked for a cloth in the room to put over Hyuzu-san .

When she found one and got in the mood to talk proudly of Hyuzu-san, I heard the door opening from behind .
