A joint request by the S-Class and the Student Council.
To prepare for that, there were no classes the next day. Since they didn’t know how many days they’d be away, they decided to take a lot of luggage.
And so, it took half a day to get the luggage ready. . . . . .The men’s luggage was one thing, but the women had a lot.
Especially Yorha. She had five big bags, all filled with a ton of clothes for changing.
Lapis had less than Yorha, but still a lot. Both Ashe and Ridelle had less than Lapis, but it was still a lot. Kid and Albero only had one bag each, but even that seemed too heavy.
Kid looked at the mountain of luggage in the dorm’s lounge and sighed.
ㅤ
“Reduce it. This is too heavy.”
“No, that’s not possible! It’s a journey and we don’t know how many days it’ll take. . . . . .we need changes of clothes.”
“I agree with Lapis. We might camp out, so we need changes of clothes and underwear!”
ㅤ
Kid ignored Lapis and Yorha’s objections.
Kid sighed and said to Albero, who was packing camping pots, pans, and cooking utensils in the kitchen.
ㅤ
“Hey, do something about them. You won’t die from not changing clothes.”
“Well. . . . . .I suppose.”
ㅤ
The S-Class would ride in a large horse carriage.
They combined their rewards from demon subjugation and bought a big horse carriage together. They had to buy it with cash because the horse carriage supplied by the school was too small.
It seats ten people, has two floors, and even a bedroom. Instead of horses, Marcosias would pull the carriage. When they tested it with Marcosias, he pulled it effortlessly, saying 『Hey, this is too light?』.
There was space to put luggage, but it was still too much.
ㅤ
“I’m back!”
“Yawn. . . . . .I’m home.”
“I’m home.”
ㅤ
Then, Leivinia, Nisrok, and Ridelle returned.
Albero looked their way.
ㅤ
“Hey. Welcome back. . . . . .what’s that?”
“Hehehe. I finally found it!”
ㅤ
Leivinia puffed out her chest proudly.
Ridelle was holding what looked like a fluffy, black baby bird? Everyone, including Ashe, was captivated by the fluffiness.
Leivinia said, poking the fluffy creature.
ㅤ
“This is called a 『Dimension sparrow』. It’s a summoned beast called forth by Demon Emperor-sama. . . . . .oh, humans call it a demon beast. I thought it would be useful for our journey, so Nisrok and I caught it!”
“With my 『ability』, I can control demon beasts so easily~.”
ㅤ
Nisrok’s ability is 『Demon Communication』.
He can control demon beasts and even communicate with demons remotely.
Ridelle went with him to make sure it wouldn’t run away. . . . . .but they weren’t worried about that at all.
ㅤ
“I asked Garnet about it. It’ll be easier with this. . . . . .just watch.”
“Oh?”
ㅤ
Leivinia took the Dimension sparrow from Ridelle. When she brought the fluffy creature close to the luggage, the Dimension sparrow’s mouth opened, and the luggage was sucked in.
Everyone was shocked by the sudden turn of events.
ㅤ
“Hehehe. Its ability is called 『Storage』. It can suck in and store anything, no matter how big. When you want to take something out, you command it while fluffing it. Hey, bring out the bag.”
『Pyururu』
ㅤ
When Leivinia fluffed it, the Dimension Sparrow opened its mouth and spat out Ashe’s bag.
Albero approached and petted the Dimension Sparrow.
ㅤ
“That’s impressive. This will be useful.”
『Pyururu』
“For the record, I caught another one. For that, uh, Student Council? group.”
“Ah. . . . . .alright, I’ll deliver it.”
ㅤ
Searching for the other one, it was found inside the hood of the coat Nisrok was wearing. This one was yellow. It seems their color varies depending on the individual.
Then, the black Dimension Sparrow was snatched by Ashe.
ㅤ
“So cute~♪ Let’s name it! I wonder what it eats?”
“It’s so fluffy! I wonder which one is fluffier, this or Marcosias.”
“It seems omnivorous. Oh, maybe it eats cookies?”
“Ridelle! Leave this task to me! It’s a royal command!”
ㅤ
And so, there was a lot of fuss.
Kid sighed uninterestedly. But with this, the luggage problem was solved.
Nisrok took out the yellow Dimension Sparrow from his hood.
ㅤ
“Here you go. It eats anything, and usually sleeps, so it’s easy to take care of~.”
“Understood. I’ll let them know. . . . . .for now, I’ll tell Fugil-niisan.”
ㅤ
Holding the yellow Dimension Sparrow, Albero left the dormitory.
ㅤ
◇◇◇◇◇◇
ㅤ
As soon as he left the dormitory, he regretted it.
ㅤ
“Hey, what’s that?” “An S-class. . . . . .what is that, a chick?”
“So cute~.” “A yellow fluff.” “A pet?”
ㅤ
Albero, holding the Dimension Sparrow, was drawing a lot of attention.
ㅤ
“Ugh. . . . . .this is embarrassing.”
『Pyui?』
“. . . . . .Yes, it’s certainly cute.”
ㅤ
As he hurriedly tried to make the delivery, he ran into Grits.
Grits seemed to be shopping and had his hands full. Albero spoke to him regardless.
ㅤ
“Hey! Got a moment?”
“Huh. . . . . .A, Albero Rushout?! What is it? What do you want. . . . . .what’s that?”
“Just a quick question. Where’s Fugil-niisan?”
ㅤ
Albero ignored Grits’ question. Grits, who was staring at the Dimension Sparrow, looked at Albero and said,
ㅤ
“If you’re looking for Senior Fugil, he’s shopping with me. He’ll be here soon to meet up.”
“Shopping?. . . . . .Oh, you’re going too?”
“Yes. Although I’m just running errands. Senior Fugil is doing something similar.”
“I see. . . . . .Oh, that’s right. I’ll explain to you as well.”
“?”
ㅤ
Albero explained about the Dimension Sparrow. In front of a skeptical Grits, he stored all the luggage he had and then fluffed it to take it out again.
ㅤ
“Wow, I’m surprised. This is really handy!”
“Right? Either load a ton of luggage onto a horse carriage and burden the horse, or fluff a cute bird and take care of it. Which will you choose?”
“Definitely taking care of it.”
『Pyui』
“. . . . . .Yes, I’ll take care of it!!”
ㅤ
It seems Grits took a liking to the Dimension sparrow.
Handing it over, he gently strokes its head. Just then, Fugil arrives at the perfect timing.
ㅤ
“Kept you waiting, Grits. . . . . .Albero?”
“Good work today. Nii-san.”
“Senior Fugil!! Actually, I received something like this.”
ㅤ
Grits demonstrates the Dimension sparrow, surprising Fugil.
ㅤ
“I see. This is useful. . . . . .Ah, thank you, Albero.”
“No. Ah, please take care of it. Hey, I’ll be mad if you use it for weird stuff. . . . . .I will.”
“I, I get it. I’ll take good care of it!”
ㅤ
If anything happens to this Dimension sparrow, it will be known to Nisrok.
Grits will probably take care of it, so it should be fine.
Having finished his business, Albero was about to leave.
ㅤ
“Wait. Ah. . . . . .well, let’s fulfill that promise.”
“Huh?”
“Dinner. . . . . .I’ll treat you. Let’s go.”
“. . . . . .Yes!!”
“Hmm. . . . . .Hey, Grits, come along. I’ll treat you too.”
“Eh, ah, y, yes. . . . . .t, thank you.”
ㅤ
It seemed unexpected for Fugil to say such a thing.
The three of them, Albero, Fugil, and Grits, began walking towards a restaurant inside the luxury mall.
