An irritated-looking Hiiro put on a red military uniform and dressed me in a black one.
Yoshino cut and sewed the left sleeve of the uniform for me, so it wasn't in the way.
Both Hitachimaru and Gramps were wearing the same uniform as me. Is Prince Hiiro in a bad mood because only his is a different color?
"Hiiro, you look cool."
When I said that, he hmphed and smiled a little.
"I don’t like red."
Ah, it's about the color af...

Hitachimaru (1)
My precious princess is unbelievably beautiful, lively, cheerful, and a bit broken.
Indeed, she's so broken that she sometimes forgets the activities necessary for human survival.
She doesn't eat, doesn't sleep, and leaves her emotions somewhere else. She's here, yet not here.
I love you. You're more important to me than anyone else.
These words, no matter how much I pour and pour them, seem to spill away.
There are times when I wonder ...

Sister, I don't know that word, but Nijou Mihane seems to be a person's name. Is she sad because that person died? Why is she sad? Everyone dies eventually.
When is it sad when someone dies?
"Is Nijou Mihane someone you like?"
"No."
The answer came immediately.
"Are you sad?"
"I am not."
"Why are you crying?"
Otoha lifted her body a little away from me, but her hand remained on my shoulder.
"Why... If I died,...

Invitation to the Tea Party
The human-shaped Mashiro might still be fine, but Kurogane, being in the form of an adult man, could be too intimidating. Additionally, Mashiro is Mashiro, and given Alicia-sama's unfavorable impression of me from the time when she openly showed hostility towards me, Mashiro's usual sharp tongue might hurt her feelings.
On the other hand, if they were in their Sacred Beast forms, Alicia-sama, being a fan of fluffiness, might enjoy having t...

Invitation to the Tea Party
A few days later, after finishing preparations for the tea party, I contacted the Ellisfeed family to inform them that we would be using the room they are renting in the salon building. Mariel-chan and I jointly wrote an invitation letter to Alicia-sama.
In the morning, I handed the invitation to Alicia-sama in the special class classroom, and she immediately responded with a cheerful "Thank you very much. I look forward to it after school...

As it was just the time for a shift change, we left the dungeon with the two security guards who had finished their duty and headed towards the headquarters. Oh, by the way, Dill-san was with us too.

"Hmph, you made us wait quite a bit..."

They were surprised as they looked inside the mansion.
Unlike the Ranford family, this second residence was quite spacious, adorned with high-end artworks.
After all, most of the artworks here were gifts from the Ducal family.

Orphanage Restaurant "Spiderling’s Nest"
The day has come, and finally, the opening day of the orphanage restaurant has arrived.
The name of this shop is the "Spiderling’s Nest”.
Since I took the lead in establishing it, the children begged for a name associated with spiders, and despite feeling somewhat uneasy about it, the name was decided.
However, isn't this more on the side of being eaten than eating?
Nevertheless, the sign has been put up, and there...

The guidance is, of course, from Mr. Brad, the head chef.

Mrs. Darcy was in charge of the serving staff.
Now, before Mr. Brad teaches the kids how to make a simple soup, I needed to explain the use of a cer...

Additionally, we could explore operating during breakfast...

While I was tilting my head, Otoha, looking absent-minded, was brought over. Her complexion was bad, and her eyes were red and swollen. Hitachimaru h...

Ruby swiftly took the apron from my hands and put it on.
It felt a bit... well, quite small, but it should keep the frills at the neckline clean, so let's go with it.
But, a muscular physique and a newlywed apron... it's surprisingly fitting, isn't it? Maybe it's because it's Ruby.

Once I confirmed that they began cracking the eggs in silence, I turned to Sei and Mariel-chan.

Rinka’s Point of View
Floor 31. This time, it seemed like a volcanic stage.
Hello, everyone, it's Rinka. Currently, we're all casually gathering materials together.
The discovery rate of rare items by Mary-chan and Arisa-chan seems strange. We managed to collect plenty of SSS-rank items.
"We should move on to the next floor soon..."
As I was about to say that, a communication came in.

Proposing Reform of the Orphanage's Current Status
One week after delivering clothes to the orphanage, I was still troubled by the current situation there.
It's understandable that orphans without skills find it difficult to get jobs.
This town doesn't have any particular industry, and trade is the main source of income.
However, it's strange that most orphans become adventurers.
Among the orphans who stopped coming, some might have moved their base far away...

If I kept drinking only water, Hiiro would take it away. After three bites of the porridge, he would take away the spoon, and brought the water to my mouth. Well, I don't really need help anymore.
