Part 6

One week later──

Diablo’s group was headed towards the cafe.

Right when they were passing through the gate to the Central District, Rem formally added those words.

「It’s fine! I was really looking forward to going to a cafe!」

Alicia asked a question.

「Ehehe, I’ve only heard about what it’s like. I’ve been thinking that I want to run a cafe. Rem would be the person that brings the customers coffee, and Diablo would be the person wiping the glasses.」

Rem shrugged her shoulders.

「There’s nothing to mind though? Since I’m happy as long as we can go to the cafe.」

「The matter this time, I believe that it is a necessary arrangement. Rem-sama, there is nothing for you to fret over.」

The place of destination was the cafe that was in the Central District.

Towards Rem who had reported the chain of events, Celes said that she “wanted to meet with her by all means”.

Shera was pulling her hand.

Rem was uneasy.

Alicia nodded.

「……While Celes knew that the Demon King’s soul was sealed inside of me, she allowed me freedom. At this point, I would like to think that there is no need for that concern.」

「……This time, there is one more worry that is bothering me but……no, as long as Diablo is around, I believe that it will be alright.」

The reason why the girls’ words were ambiguous was because Krem was around.

It seemed that at that time, she was expecting that Diablo would protect her.

──This girl, she just simply “lives idly/does nothing but eat and sleep”.

Shera became something like a kindergarten teacher, teaching her songs almost every day, and was making her toys.

What should worry them is that the amount they paid for biscuits was not insignificant.
The moment the money that this party possessed ran out, wouldn’t that be the moment the Demon King make its descent into the world. It was enough to make him think that.

The Central District was partitioned off by a stone wall.

At that time, there was a bit of trouble with the gatekeeper, but this time, since the State Knight Alicia was there, they were able to pass thanks to her position.

Also, the buildings, they weren’t made of stone but were lined up estates made of brick and denoted that this was a district where the rich lived.

Several times, ahead of them when they turned a corner, they would discover somewhat stylishly made shops.

「Uwaah……So this, is a cafe, isn’t it!?」

Above all, there was glass fitted “in” the door.

Rem introduced it.

They pulled the door open.

Having come to this world, he had drank coffee several times, but he felt that this was a different fragrance from those other times.

「Wah! Incredible! It’s somehow, incredible!」

「They do～. They are called scones. A girl that went to the royal capital’s cafe boasted about it.」

Properly thinking about it, she lived in the royal capital. Moreover, she was the daughter of a duke family. Most likely, she has at least gone to the cafe.

──Scones aren’t biscuits, you know?

In the store interior, there were five counter seats and two four-person tables.

There was the fact that it was just made, but the store interior was sparkling everywhere and looked new and clean.

──Crap. I’m getting nervous. Now that I think about it, I, I’ve never entered a place with a riajuu atmosphere like a high-class tea house.

In the store, there was only one customer.

Her looks were gentle, and her voluptuous body was wrapped up in a long robe.

It was the person they had an appointment with──Celestine Bordorel.

Rem greeted her.

「Actually, I was looking forward to this a bit too much, and came here considerably early. But, it was correct to make it at this shop. I didn’t lose interest no matter how much time I waited. To tell you the truth, I also wanted to try coming to a cafe, you know?」

Shera leaned forward.

「Araa, then, you’re the same as me. It is wonderful to be able to drink coffee with the same taste as the coffee in the royal capital, isn’t it──Ah, could it be that child?」

Her gaze met with Krem’s.

「Nice to meet you, I am called Celes. I work as the head of this town’s Magician’s Guild.」

Krem had her gaze go around. It would seem that she was able to see the flow of magical power that was used for the barrier.

Celes smiled.

「Maou only came here to eat biscuits -nanoda!」

「Umu!」

Following that flow, Rem sat in the remaining seat.

Alone together with Alicia.

──To think that my human life would awaken just from sitting opposite of such a beautiful girl in a riajuu tea house like this.

「You should order anything that you like.」

Alicia pointed at the menu that was on the table.

In this high-class shop……

──HAAAHH!? There are three zeros!?

That was an amount of money that matched one night (breakfast and a bed for one) at Relief.

That devilish woman expressed a sweet smile.

「What, so she was a goddess.」

The brought out coffee was different from the stuff that they normally drank.

──Amazing! If it’s this taste, it would definitely be popular even in a metropolitan area!

「Sweet! Tasty! It is tasty, this muddy water and these biscuits are delicious -noda!」

「I am so glad that they are to Krem-chan’s liking.」

「Ufufu……Would you like a second helping?」
She looking like she enjoyed it quite well.

At the time they were going back──

Taking only a small amount of time to pay the bill, Diablo, Rem, and Celes exchanged words. So that not even the employee could hear them, they lowered their voices.

He didn’t want to make enemies of the Magician’s Guild.

Just how would she move?

Celes’ cheerful smile didn’t darken at all.

「……It, really helps us for you to say that, but……Celes, will you be alright? Won’t you get punished?」

Celes is the key that activates Faltra City’s barrier. She is unable to leave this town.

It was for that reason, that her words were believable.
