Chapter 294 – Reunion

We decided to have a welcome dinner for Ignis, who returned after a long time.
Ignis. Liliana.
Judith. Flora.
Christina. Balm.
The members of the mansion gathered at the table.
Flora, for some reason, she glances at me and blushes.
‘Why are you doing that?’
She had been doing that for some time.
At first, I wondered if the zipper on my pants had been opened, but…
It wasn’t.
On the other hand, the little princess, Cristina, has been doing very well these days, as if it were her own home.
This happened because Liliana did something useless.
“Who are you?”
Not knowing that the little princess was afraid of a puppy, she asked Ignis with a cheeky expression.
“What a cute kid.”
“I am not a child. I am Christina, the princess of this country!”
“Really? Excuse me for that.”
“Hmm…I’m generous. Don’t accept that apology.”
I wish I could hit you at least once.
“Whoops. Thank you.”
Contrary to my expectations, unfortunately, Ignis only looked at Christina as if she were cute.
“There are a lot of new faces to see. If so, I will introduce myself first. Nice to meet you. My name is Ignis.”
Ignis lightly exchanged greetings with the strangers.
It’s been a while since I brought Ignis’ favorite chicken and beer out of the inventory, not the maid’s cooking.
Even maids can make chicken.
Chicken is a dish that is not that difficult to fry chicken in flour batter.
The one made by the maid was delicious, but the franchise chicken had its own charm.
“This dish is really tasty. It looks like deep-fried food, but the taste of the sauce is very unique. What are you talking about?”
It was Christina who brazenly said such things and boasted an appetite comparable to that of an adult.
Looking at it, it looked like a small thing could swallow a whole chicken by itself.
Where does that small boat go? .
He was tearing open the chicken and eating it, smearing oil on his lips.
The maids next to her are busy wiping the grease from the little princess’s mouth.
As far as I can see, Christina has the talent of a mukbang you-tuber.
“Really…You eat well. Eat this too.”
Ignis hands one of her porridge, her chicken legs, to her Christina.
‘Huh… Giving chicken legs.’
“Thank you. Ignis! You are a good person.”
For some reason, Ignis… Unfortunately, Christina seemed to have a crush on her.
“Unho, there was a story about going to the labyrinth to subdue the black magician…Is that true?”
Cristina asked where she had gotten that story from.
“Yes, it’s true. But what does it matter to you?”
“What does it matter… Of course, I, her fiancé, intend to join as well.”
“…Who said they would take you?”
“You… Are you planning to leave me here alone?!”
“Are you alone?”
I looked around.
Ignis and Judith go.
Then Liliana and Flora are left.
“…Liliana. Are you going too?”
Liliana said that when I went to the previous labyrinth, there was something to research, so I didn’t go.
“That’s right. This time I’m thinking of going too. I’m thinking of taking my student Flora along and giving her some practice.”
If Flora goes, of course Melissa, the escort knight, will go too.
If that happens, Christina will be left alone.
Great.
“Then Christina, you can go back to the comfortable palace.”
“No! I have no intention of going back until you say you’re marrying me!”
…It’s a story about living here.
“Hmm? Cristina, are you thinking of marrying your lord?”
Ignis, who was listening to our conversation, asked if he was curious.
“That’s right. Listen to me! Ignis. Unho first called me to marry him saying he liked me, and now he’s trying to throw me away. You know how rude this is. As a loyal subordinate, lord How about saying something harsh to him?”
“Really? Lord.”
Ignis asked me as if he knew something unexpected.
That little princess was secretly trying to bury me.
Actually, Ignis didn’t seem to care that much…But my honest feeling is that I don’t want to bring up anything related to Christina.
“Kuhmm… That kid is lying. She didn’t even ask to marry her, and the kid misunderstood on his own.”
“No!”
“Uh huh… It’s no use fussing. Go back to your house.”
“Heh! I hate it!”
“Then, do you live alone in this place where there is no one?
“What?! Cheek! Cheek!”
Cristina exhaled her heavy breath and stared at me out of control with her tear-filled eyes.
“This…This… You bastard! Ugh!”
And in the end, she burst into tears.
“Wow… Pay for your size. What the hell are you fighting against a child?”
Seeing that, Liliana looked at her pitifully and rebuked her. The others didn’t say a word, but she was looking at them with no difference.
“…”

Albert and Henry were also carrying out the construction of the park under the supervision of Suni as directed by Unho.
“Hmm… Move forward a little bit more please.”
“Is this what you mean?”
“No. Right.”
“Now, how are you?”
“No, it went too far. It went…To the left again.”
Albert put the big tree down, and Henry filled the hole with a shovel.
They were making a promenade now.
The overgrown trees were cut down to make a road, and on both sides of it, pretty trees were erected at regular intervals.
Henri’s mouth protruded as he shoveled. Because I didn’t like doing this as a knight.
“I’ll take a break for 10 minutes.”
Hearing Sunni’s words, the two, drenched in sweat, sat down and drank water.
Sunni, on the other hand, was crossing his arms without breaking a sweat.
After taking a break for a while, Albert cautiously approached Sunni.
Sunni looked at him curiously and asked.
“What happened?”
“Sunni-nim, I heard that Unho-nim is going to subdue the black magician in the labyrinth…”
Albert looked at Sunni and asked.
“That’s right. But why does Albert-sama ask that?”
“I was wondering if I could go too…Wouldn’t you need a worker to do the chores?”
Henri was looking at Albert, who was servile to Sunni, with pitiful eyes.
He’s a guy with no pride.
To think that a guy who had awakened an aura would follow him even if he had to work as a janitor… Henri was dumbfounded.
“Well…”
An unfavorable response came back from Suni.
“Uh, how could it not be?”
“Um…Then…”
When a little bit of room was shown, Albert looked at Suni with hope, just in case.
“If you finish the park construction before the owner leaves, I’ll tell you something.”
“Really? Go, thank you!!”
Albert was delighted and bowed to Sunni.
“Heh, I have nothing to do with it.”
Henry made the sound of pouring cold water on Albert’s plans.
“I heard that Flora-sama is leaving too…”
Seeing that disgusting appearance, Suni quietly spoke.
“What?! Flora-sama is leaving?!”
“I heard that.”
“To take you to such a dangerous place! Are you insane? Why won’t you stop me!”
“Why are you doing that to me? Did you tell the master?”
“Kheuheum…”
As soon as Unho’s story came out, Henri’s fighting power shrank in an instant.
“…Then…I’m coming too!”
Henry eventually turned in a different way.
“Who do you like?”
“I am Lady Flora’s escort knight!”
“As an escort knight… The job is…”
Henry hadn’t seen Flora since he came here. And he was now working as a laborer on the construction of the park.
It didn’t look like an escort knight to anyone.
“Isn’t that what your master ordered!”
“Hmph! That’s none of my business! If the construction can’t be completed before the owner leaves, there’s nothing wrong with it.”
“Kuhmm…Ah, I see. Albert! Let’s get to work! We’re running out of time!”
“Yes! Mr. Henri! Let’s do our best!!”
Albert and Henry accelerated the construction of the park.
“I said I would only talk to the master… I didn’t say I would take him…”
Looking at the two eagerly, Sunni murmured softly.

The training of the maids went smoothly.
Ignis and Judith.
And my passionate infusion? Thanks to the training, the maids eventually reached the level of advanced knights.
If you are a high-ranking knight, it refers to sword skills, that is, the level of drawing out sword auras.
“His Holiness! You are amazing. So fast…”
“Make sure the maids are given enough rest, and leave in a week.”
“Yes! I’ll tell the Knights too.”
Judith was very happy.
Is it good to beat the warlock?
Or maybe she’s glad she’s fulfilling the goddess’s revelation.
And when two days passed, an unexpected guest came.
A painting-like elf girl with her blonde hair and blue eyes.
She had to part with the inevitable.
My elf lover.
“Ayla?”
“Luck!”
With her bright smile, she ran up to me as if she were hugging me, and stopped a step ahead and wiggled.
It’s embarrassing because there are so many eyes on me.
Ayla’s friend, the silver-haired elf Luna, was also quietly smiling behind her.
She exchanged her light glances with her.
I have been in frequent contact with Ayla through raid messages.
However, I heard that there has been little contact lately.
Prepared for this surprise.
“Were you trying to surprise me?”
“Yeah. Are you surprised?”
“A little… Later?”
Behind Ayla and Luna, about 10 hooded elves were looking at me with curious eyes.
“I’ll go in and talk about it.”
I took them into the mansion.
