Chapter 221

Temple

After we finished sending the letters, we made our way to the temple.

(Syl~)

(Tak.u.mi-san! I was waiting for you!)

When I told the children to wait for a moment and called out to Syl as usual, his eager voice reached me.

(You were waiting? Did something urgent happen? Ah, did Water G.o.d-sama return, perhaps?)

(No, Windell has not returned ye——ahh!!)

Syl seemed to be very cheerful, so when I asked him what has been on my mind for a while now, he got wonderfully caught off guard.

I mean, I found it very strange that there have been no news from Windell-sama since I met Allen and Elena. Well, his retainers took some action, though~

Even Fire G.o.d-sama and Earth G.o.d-sama whom I have little relationship with sent me contracted beasts and goods, you know?

Also, there's the conversation about chocolate I had with Syl the last time. That time, my head was full of thoughts about Allen and Elena's birthday, but recalling carefully, Syl told me that he shared it with the G.o.ddess of Creation Marianorsama, Fire G.o.d Salamanteel-sama, and Earth G.o.d Nomoodle-sama. I was thinking that Water G.o.d-sama didn't like sweet things at first. But, that's something Syl would tell me. That's why I was thinking that Water G.o.d-sama might be missing.

And so, I tried poking the subject a bit, but… it does seem that Water G.o.d-sama is missing, and they don't seem to know where he disappeared to.

(Ta, Tak.u.mi-san!? Yo, you knew!?)

(No, I was just guessing? However, I got my answer thanks to you~)

(Oh my G.o.d…)

I can imagine Syl hanging his head down~

(Ah, you told me that you "can't tell" before, will you receive a punishment or something because of this? It's me who played unfair saying this, but would it be better if I explained to someone?)

(No… it's fine. Even though you haven't asked about it before, you would surely find it strange that there has been no contact from Windell for almost a year.)

(Well, yes. And so, do you know where he is?)

(Err… that's…)

Syl was hesitating to speak. Yep, he can't talk about the place.

(H, he went on a j, journey… to broaden his horizons?)

(Why is that a question? It's fine, you don't have to force yourself.)

(… Sorry.)

Even though you can just say that you can't tell me if you can't. Well, speaking of acting like Syl, right!

(Well, let's stop talking about Water G.o.d-sama then. So, returning back on the subject, what were you waiting for?)

(Ah, right! I have something to give you, Tak.u.mi-san!)

(Something to give me?)

(Yes, it's a bit late, but it's a present for the twins' birthday. Although I say that, I couldn't come up with anything that would make the children happy, so I prepared something that would be helpful to you guys!)

——Piron♪

The sound I have barely heard in recent times resounded in my mind, so I opened the item list and checked the contents.

(Oh, aren't these magic potions!)

What Syl sent me were mana potions, healing potions, and detoxifying potions. Moreover, several intermediate and advanced level ones each!

(Thanks, Syl. I was just about to look for these!)

(I am happy that you have received them positively. I don't think you would let the children hurt themselves, but we can have peace of mind with them in your possession.)

(Indeed. They have not been seriously injured or ill up until now, but you never know what might happen.)

This certainly might seem a bit questionable as a present for the children's birthday, but it's certainly first-cla.s.s in usefulness.

(Oh, speaking of presents… I received lots of Mou Milk and Treasure Eggs around Allen and Elena's birthday.)

(T, that was…)

(That was?)

(From Marianorsama.)

(Hah!?)

I was certain it was from Syl, but to think it was from Marianorsama herself?

(Actually, as I was worried about what presents to sent, Marianorsama told me she prepared something herself…)

(The milk and eggs?)

Milk and eggs… i, is it because she wanted to eat ice cream!? Going by the timing, was it about when I was asked for ice cream? No, was it after I sent the ice cream over?

I knew Marianorsama liked sweets, but… to think she liked them this much?

(I believe she loves them very much. She seemed joyous the last time she ate ice cream. Err… was it cone? We unfortunately did not have that, but she apparently challenged three scoops at once.)

As I said… don't read my mind so naturally.
