Chapter 29: Villager of the Magic Academy Part 2

-One week ago.

I left the Dragon Village alongside a cacophony of cries.

I raised my upper body from the bed, and looked straight ahead with sleepy eyes.

The mansion I received from the Dragon King was uselessly large.

It was really huge with the bedroom alone being forty tatami mats large.

The ceiling was seven meters high, and as expected, there was a chandelier up there.

“I’ve lived here for three years now- no, the actual time I’ve spent living here was about one year, huh?”

However, I continued.

“No matter what way I look at it, it’s huge…”

There were paintings and decorations along the walls. Emeralds, amethysts, and diamonds used as decorations.

It was rare for a room to make jewels seem like any other form of decoration.

To begin with, even the bed itself was five meters by five meters and seriously huge.

No, it was already at the level of being crazy.

No matter how one looked at it, the insides of the cushion were even silk.

Haah… I sighed.

Then I felt a soft sensation on my palm.

In the palm of my hand, was a small chest.

Still dreaming, Lilith opened her mouth.

“………Nu~”

The scene froze for a moment.

“U~o!”

I screamed loudly on the spot.

“……… Eh~?”

With that Lilith seemed to have been roused from her sleep, she rubbed her eyes sleepily.

“Hmm… Good morning.”

“Yeah, good morning. Also, haven’t I told you to stop sneaking into my bed?”

The day I reunited with Cordelia.

Since then, Lilith had started sleepwalking a lot more than before.

To be more specific, on days I mentioned Cordelia, she coincidently sleepwalked and snuck into my bed.

And before I noticed, we would sleep together till morning.

“Even if you tell me to stop…”

“Even if I tell you?”

“It’s not something I can stop.”

“It’s annoying!”

For now, I give her a strict look as I knock her head.

“It hurts…”

“Well yeah, that’s why I did it.”

By the way, ever since we defeated the zombie dragon, I took up responsibility as Lilith’s guardian.

As a result, Lilith started living with me as my servant.

Even when I went to unexplored frigid lands.

Even when I went to the demon realm.

And even when I obtained a forbidden technique.

She and I were always together.

If we were to ignore the last life, the time is even greater than the time I’ve spent with Cordelia in this life.

“That said, I never heard anything about your hero childhood friend being a girl.”

“Haven’t I been telling you about that since that time…”

“… I can’t accept it.”

“Why can’t you accept it?”

As I watched, Lilith’s eyes teared up, and she started tapping my head with clenched fists.

“…Blockhead”

Tap tap.

Tap tap, tap tap tap.

“…Blockhead”

I decided to get up and rushed towards the room’s door as though running away from Lilith.

“Let’s get breakfast already.”

Hearing those words, Lilith got up from the bed and removed the sheets.

I took a deep breath and widened my eyes.

“Lute? What happened?”

“………”

For various reasons, I couldn’t speak.

“…What happened?”

Taking a deep breath, I calmly averted my gaze from Lilith.

“You know… Lilith…?”

“I’ve been asking you for a while now… what happened?”

“I’ve been telling you for a while… only wearing panties is no good, okay?”

At this point, Lilith smiled and said.

“There is no one other than Lute here anyway. And, I basically sleep naked. Rather, I want you to praise that I wore panties.”

*Whack*

I rushed over to Lilith with a dash.

And with strict eyes, rather, almost with the intention of crushing her, I gave her a good knock on the head.
