Volume 4 - CH 7

Part 7

Going *nikkori*, the inn’s poster girl──Mei expressed a smile.

「Dear cus~tomer? It becomes troubling when a wall disappears☆」

She is smiling, but it felt as if the characters 『gogogogogogo……』[1] could be seen at her back.

She was unmistakably angry.

Well, if a wall of the inn was scattered away, it’s only natural for her to be angry.

Rem lowered her head.

「……We are sorry……There is a reason for all of this.」

「No, it’s fine. It’s alright. Mei-chan, is a girl that can used to something like this, and this is the third time for you customers, right?」

「……We will pay for the reparations.」

The first time, the first store was destroyed by a Demonic Being. It seemed that the country helped in this one.

And then, the second time, a wall was destroyed by Adventurers. Naturally, the claim went to the guys that broke it.

However, this time, it seems that it was a spy of the king. On top of that, the opponent was pulverized with magic. They probably had no choice but to pay for it themselves.

Alicia stepped forward.

「I truly apologize that things have turned into this sort of situation. I feel that this may not be enough but……」

She took out a small pendant from pocket of her clothes. It had a scarlet gem attached to it.

Mei received it, and checked it with the light of the candlestick that she held.

「Nn～, it looks like the gem is genuine, but I don’t think that this will be enough～☆」

「Y, yes.」

「Ahah☆ Dear customers, be at ease in your stay here -nya! Ah, that’s right, until the wall is fixed, another room will be prepared for you☆」

That was a magnificent change in attitude.

Rem was surprised and asked.

「Is, is that alright!? These people are Demonic Beings though……!?」

A few minutes later──

Diablo was surprised.

「Y, you! Were you actually a Magician!?」

She used makeup techniques that were magnificent enough to make him say that.

Mei puffed up her chest in pride with a “how do you like that” face.

「How’s that -nya! Girls transform, you know☆」

「Ooー……?」

Edelgart’s skin that was lined with small scales had become completely smooth and glossy. Her legs were in black tights, and her hands were covered with white gloves.

For her lizard-like pupils, on top of wearing thick glasses, her forelocks hung down and hid them.

She awkwardly said the words that she was taught.

「W, welcome～, back? Goshujin-sama?」

Krum was made to wear an idol-like outfit.

Since she had transparent-like skin that had no need for makeup, eyeshadow was put on her eyelids, and eyeliner was put on the underside. With a hat, her horns were made to look like decorations.

In order to hide her tail, she wore a parasol-like skirt.

Krum was in high spirits and made a sideways peace sign.

「Kira kira (Sparkle sparkle) -nanoda☆」

「Eheh☆ Kira kira -da nya!」
