Chapter 253

"N-k-k-k-k..."

Cool your body down after a bath and a meal with cold coffee milk.... Haha. After all, coffee milk like this after a bath is the best. It has to be bottled, too. I will not accept any objections.

Uranus made a gurgling sound while drinking water, and I played with the finished bottle while waiting leisurely.

"... Pfft."

"This is a good drink."

"Really? I'm no match for Aisha."

"Not applicable."

"Shall we go back to the room then?"

"Yes, that's right."

When I returned to my room, Meleoron was already gone.... It seems you are in the next room.

Instead, Seam and Sakura were sleeping soundly on the futon. Oh my god, perhaps I was too excited.

"Hey, Seam. Wake-ki-ro."

Uranus shook Seam's shoulder. Sakura's tail swayed loosely.

"Nyanya?"

"Mmm...

Ah, welcome back..."

"Welcome home, alright.

What should I do about my futon?"

In a sleepy daze, Seam patted the futon.

"I was here to warm up the bench, Gondo..."

"Who is the director?"

Seam gently lifted her upper body, took Sakura into her arms, and gently stroked her head.

"Yes. Sakura, I will return you."

Sakura jumped from Seam's outstretched hands onto Uranus's head.

"Yes...

I don't know if you want to take a bath, but just 'knead' well and go to sleep."

"Mmm.

... Sister, are you still awake?"

"Maybe. I think I'm awake."

Uranus looked through the Wall toward the next room.

Which one is it... are you probing for signs, or are you probing for Aura? It is possible that I am looking at Life Force and Spirit Power.

"Well, good night, you two.

Sakura, see you tomorrow."

"Nya."

On top of Uranus's head, Sakura raised a paw in response.

The door closed, and Seam appeared in the next room.

"..."

I stared at Sakura. Perhaps noticing that gaze, Sakura also looked back at me.

The baby below stared at me.

"... Is it today as well?"

"Even if it isn't, it's today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow; I have to do it."

"Eh...

I like that kind of harmony.

You don't necessarily have to call me every day, so why do you Stick to it?"

"You?

It's impossible for the current Seam to skip Training, right?"

"Mmm...

How much does he like Sakura..."

"Meow."

Sakura cried with a relaxed expression. Mmm, I think you are thinking the same thing.

"Mmm, I think I will get tired of it soon..."

"Meow meow!"

Sakura stomped her feet. Uranus was reluctant, so it was effective.

"That is why you told me to stop.

Even though he just took a bath, he is very angry."

"Of course you are angry.

If you say you are bored, wouldn't you feel sorry for Sakura?"

"Meow."

"Mmm. I'm the only one who treats you like a warmonger..."

Uranus wrote "No" on the futon and then fainted. Ah, I am lucky to have been summoned once.

There were signs of two people leaving the room next door.... I went to the restroom.

If Uranus got angry and erased her, that would be a problem, so I want to take her in as soon as possible.

"Uranus.

How long does it take for Sakura to fully Recharge?"

Uranus was trembling.

"Full...

Hey, Aisha, do you want to play with Sakura for an hour?

Also, you won't treat me like a charger, will you?"

"What are you talking about?

I don't play with Sakura. I play with Sakura.

Besides, Uranus, please watch your charger."

"Terrible..."

Uranus whimpered with a deeply hurt face. This is too cute, Otome Kimchi.

"Sorry, I said too much.

How long does it take?"

"In short, that is an apology that didn't resonate with me at all..."

"It's okay, J-ka-n."

"..."

I'll say it in advance, but you don't want to be full?

Maybe... if you can ride for 5 minutes, I think Sakura will stay in that state for about 20 minutes."

5 minutes, 20 minutes? I wonder if that's reasonable.

"Then, please take that course. Is that what you requested?"

"... Um..."

"I'm not listening."

"How did this happen..."

"Nya."

Uranus covered his face. That's right, you can't keep such a cute cat all to yourself. Besides, Uranus riding a cat is also cute, right?

Uranus dropped his shoulders and organized the cards with a frustrated look.... For about five minutes, I picked up Sakura, who was looking down at the listless Uranus. It was soft.

"Meow meow."

Somehow, Sakura stretched her front legs toward my chest.

Hmm...

Oh, alright then.... As you wish, I will hold Sakura to my chest.

Fluffy, soft and squishy.

"Nyaun... Funyaa."

Fufu, she looks like a baby.... I remember when I was held like this by my mother.

"... Um..."

Uranus called me with a blushing face, trying not to look directly at me.

... Excellent.

That's about it. When Sakura's memory disappears, you worry about Uranus's feedback. That's why I'll do this for Uranus later...

But I don't know how much. Is it a perfect match or loose? End for now.

"What?"

Squeezing Sakura.

"Nya."

Uranus was twitching, trying to say something.

"..."

"..."

"... What, what, it's nothing."

I cracked my neck. Hehehe, for some reason I feel like I want to be proud of myself.

I looked at Uranus, who seemed to have given up, while stroking Sakura, who was hugging me sweetly.

It's been a long time since I looked at the Binder today.... Maybe so people wouldn't see me.

"Uranus."

"... What?"

"Binder, can I take a look?"

"... Fine, but."

Uranus reluctantly picked up the open Binder and pushed it toward me.

A Binder sliding toward me in the air. This is also convenient, or rather, a skillful imitation.

When the Binder got close, I blocked it with my elbow, then I held Sakura with one arm again and turned the first page of the Binder.

The left page was a pocket numbered 000. Of course, there were no cards inside.

The right page contained cards from No. 1 to No. 9. Of course, all of this was fake.

Even if it's fake, being able to see the designated Pocket Cards lined up like this in the first few days is a spectacle. Of course, seeing the cards you worked so hard to Collect lined up in a row is special.

Sakura also looked curiously at the card list.

Turn the page.

The next left page already contains cards from No. 10 to No. 18.

The right page only contains No. 19 to No. 21. These are all fake cards.

Turn back to the first page, focusing on the one card that catches your eye.

──── "1: One-Pyeong Jungle". At SS-rank, it is the only card you do not know how to obtain.

Last time you traded me to Tsezgera. How did that person get it in the first place? Even for Mr. Genthru, who has been here for years, the information is zero... Let's ask our strategy book.

"Uranus.

Do you know how to obtain One-Pyeong Jungle?"

"... No, I don't. I don't even know the conditions for the event to occur.

Come to think of it, the same goes for One-Pyeong Coastline. I guess it's a similar situation."

"Hmm...

Last time, we had Mr. Tsezgera trade for One-Pyeong Jungle.

However, even Tsezgera-san doesn't seem to know how to obtain One-Pyeong Coastline."

I didn't hear it from the person himself, but I think it's fine to judge this way given the circumstances.... I will hear news from Mr. Golainu, whom I will cooperate with later.

"Ah, that's true... because I also got a trade from Tsezgera.

It seems someone won One-Pyeong Jungle with a 'Lottery'."

"Hey, what about SS-rank?

There is someone who is very lucky..."

When I said this honestly, Uranus's expression became somewhat gloomy.

"... But it seems the person who guessed it stole the card.

It seems the guy who stole the card multiplied it with 'Copy' and sold it to Tsezgera at a high price.

I was told this by the guy who stole it as a boast."

Hmm. So the truly lucky player was the one who stole it and sold it. I didn't know that.

"Even so, I often hear stories like this...

I don't think you would usually boast about selling something you stole at a high price."

"Yes...

I also felt it would be strange to boast, so I asked in detail.

It seems Tsezgera bought two cards, but the original I won in the 'Treasure Lottery' was rejected. I was told it wasn't worth it.

That's why he was greedy and wanted to find someone who could buy the original at a high price.

Look, Tsezgera is also single, right? That's why I thought I would buy it..."

Ah, is that so? I know Uranus is a professional single Hunter, so I hoped he would buy it for me for a lot of money like Mr. Tsezgera.

"But you refused, right?"

"Yes.

I was already freaked out by it. That's why Tsezgera is unwilling to come out..."

"By the way, how much?"

Uranus pointed his palm at me.

"Fifty million?"

"... 500 million Jenny.

This is also reality, and I paid it with a smile immediately."

Wow.... Although it's an original, I think it's too outrageous to buy a single card that can't even be exclusively owned with 'Copy'. There is absolutely no guarantee that you will get a clear reward.

"Tsezgera bought the two copies directly for 400 million.

He will also live well..."

Ah. Most importantly, I missed clearing it, so I feel sorry for Tsezgera-san who stepped on it and kicked it.... No, I won't say that, huh?

"Anyway, One-Pyeong Jungle starts with checking the conditions for the event to occur...

Where were you at that time?"

"It's Jungle City Shant.

This time I still couldn't fly there using 'Drift'."

"What kind of place is that?"

It's a dense forest and a city, which I know nothing about.

"Hmm. A city formed around a dense forest.

That's why it feels like there is a dense forest in the center of the city."

"Oh.

No matter how you look at it, it's like being in that dense forest."

"Probably.

But no information came out.

It would be great if I could get a hint on how to go to One-Pyeong Coastline..."

Yeah? Come to think of it, I'm sure...

"..."

Does that city have an Elder?"

"Elder?

Of course, I think there is an old man who is the oldest in the city.

No matter what I ask, he doesn't respond correctly."

"By the way, do you still remember your name?"

"What is your name?

Hehehe... Is it time? I am sure this is the name.

Tch, it's free time now... isn't it discard? I was wrong.

"In the quiz where you have 99 types of Specified Pocket Cards, there is a question asking what the name of the Elder who gives you the hint for 'A Patch of Dense Forest' is."

When I said this, Uranus snapped his fingers.

"Ha, ha, ha. I understand.

Perhaps I should satisfy the event's trigger conditions and talk to Grandpa Shima.

This alone can save you a lot of search time. I can help you."

Yes, that's fine. I shouldn't just rely on them, I should also contribute to the strategy.

"Thank you, Binder."

"Yes. Book."

Uranus seemed to have nothing more to do and erased the Binder.

Now then, what should I do? I will continue to enjoy Sakura, but I have nothing to do. I cannot perform 'En' in this state. No distractions. Sakura is the fluffiest.

"Fang Ya..."

Huhu, so cute. Hmm, let's try asking. I think it might be refused.

"Uranus.

Can I sleep holding Sakura?"

"Meow?"

Uranus made a very delicate face. Hmm, is it really that bad?

"... Um, um...

I can sleep with you until the time runs out, but...

Is that okay?"

Oh, it's fine, I made a seam earlier. It feels so good.

"Yes, already. That is perfectly fine."

"Ha... I see.

Then I will sleep too. Won't you extend the time?"

"Yes, thank you."

"Hmm. Then turn off the lights."

Uranus turned off the lights. Ah, it is faintly glowing.

When I dived into the futon, Sakura also dived into the futon and snuggled up to me. It's warm... you can tell when you are wrapped in a futon. What does it feel like to sleep with a cat?

I must be careful not to roll over and crush Sakura. Should I sleep on my side in advance?

Lying in a position that feels like a round cherry on your stomach. Yes, this is it. Shin also sleeps with me like this.

Hmm. Soft. Warm and cozy. A white cat hot water bottle is the best.

…………

"Ugh..."

Just as I was thinking this, and just as I started to doze off, I heard a soft sound coming from inside the futon.

Sakura moved and came closer to me. What do you want to do?

"...!"

Wait a minute. Is this child trying to hide in my clothes? Is it that one from yesterday?

Hello, yes. Wait, Sakura. Uh, if it's on top, that's even better, but over there, gya, a little bit! Damn, this girl is too soft, I can't hold her! Wow...!

Fluffy. The feeling of Sakura disappeared.

... Characteristic.

Time up...

Oh no, that was just the width of a hair...

Ptooey...

I have to be careful next time. I was a little too cautious...

"Ugh...!"

Looking in the direction the sound came from, Uranus was covering his head with the quilt, twisting in pain.

Without a doubt, Sakura's memory has returned...

Hmm... you hate it. Shim and I have always been spoiling Sakura.

The one before... I guess.

Even in the darkness, I can see that Uranus has completely submerged himself in the futon, terrified.

…………

Somehow...

I have a feeling that Uranus is most likely suffering because of Sakura...

Then what is One Merit.... No, I'm used to it.
