Chapter 272

Kumite and I are together, until Meleoron makes a sound, leaving Uranus for the remaining time to focus on developing my physical abilities. In 30 minutes, it will be night.

Although he does not do Kumite, Uranus provided Meleoron with detailed instructions on how to move his body. If you are going to use the power of your eyes, that might be what he is good at.

Meleoron also has a deep look of fatigue, possibly because he is still continuing to do things he is unfamiliar with. Well, I should be able to do it, so I must try my best.

Just as I was thinking this, a Binder appeared beside the two of them.

"—Another player has used 'Communication' on you—"

Yes? Who exactly are you?

"............"

But the Binder remained silent. Uranus looked suspicious. Is Uranus the owner of the Binder?

"Hi, who are you?"

"... Motarike."

Uranus let out a long sigh.... Relief and I were a bit dumbfounded.

"You...

came back the day before yesterday."

"Teeth? No, didn't we see each other the day before the day before yesterday?"

"It means don't come again.

What's wrong, are you looking at money again? You just keep getting in other people's way..."

"No no no! No, it's a misunderstanding!

Don't say it like you've already done it many times!

... It's not me, you have business."

"Ah? Then who is it?"

"Now switching...

—Hi Uranus, how are you? Having fun licking?

Done. Do you understand? All right"

Suddenly, I heard the Binder make a bright, rhythmic sound. What is it?

Uranus scratched his forehead,

"I think maybe, but...

Is it a bell?"

"Ding-dong, you're back.

I thought you wouldn't be here for a while."

"Were you too lazy to check?

That's right. I've been back for a while. Have you heard of Motarike?"

"Yes.

So if you don't mind, would you like to come over for dinner tonight?"

Uranus crossed his arms with a difficult expression. Looking at us. However, due to a lack of information, it is impossible to judge. Who exactly is this beautiful human? It is very friendly, but... one-sided.

"............

I cannot answer immediately. From now on, I will be chatting with my friends.

Do you have other business?"

"Hmm, that's about it.

The spelling is short, so I wanted to meet and talk."

"... Hmm, wait a moment.

I will contact you from here."

"Alright.

I am waiting for your reply. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

The Binder went silent. Uranus sighed. What is this thing...

Meleoron tilted his head,

"Then, who are you now? Impossible—"

"Book.

... That's right."

Oh? Do you know Meleoron?

"Who are you, Uranus?"

Shim paused his Training and asked.

Uranus crossed his arms, his mouth in the shape of "he",

"Motarike's wife..."

Huh?

—Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

No...

If I remember correctly, he is the Leader of a bandit group, and he said he entered the game chasing Mr. Motarike.

Then, is it possible for someone to have this feeling? I see...

"And?"

"Is it an invitation for the evening? What are you going to do?"

Meleoron asked gloomily. Good evening...

"Perhaps you mean eating at their house instead of eating out."

"After all, Meleoron is really difficult..."

"Mr. Motarike, do you have a home?"

"Yes, but it's a rented house."

"It's a detached house, and the rent is quite high. 100,000 a month."

Hmm... but it's still cheaper than staying at an Inn or a hotel. Excluding food expenses and other calculations. Outdoor camping is unbelievably cheap...

"Besides me, did you use 'Communication' to invite me to dinner?"

"Is that something you can use so easily?"

"... If you are a player who frequently goes to Masadora, yes."

"If you don't go often, it's worth it."

"So it does have some meaning. If I don't reply to this, they might hate it."

"Even if you refuse, please give me an answer."

"I certainly intend to. It's hard to say no, but..."

"I might have a meaningful conversation with you, so if you are going, I want Meleoron to accompany you."

"But come on..."

"It would be fine to be Together quietly, but you can't Hidden your identity while eating, right?"

That's right. Using your mask to hide your face... no, no. Then how do you eat?

"... It's better not to go out to eat together, force a reason."

"Refuse or leave the drinks."

"If you don't refuse my invitation, I have no choice but to do this."

"Yes."

"Since that's the case, why not leave me at home?"

"Wait, big sister."

"In that case, I will also become an answering machine."

"Arrived."

"What if something happens when I am separated from Aisa?"

"I could choose to stay at home, but..."

"Can I go alone?"

"Well, you've already decided to refuse, this is ridiculous."

"So you end up with two choices."

"Do you want to go with everyone or refuse?"

Hmm... I wonder what happened. The safe choice is to refuse, but...

But I am also curious about Motarike's marriage partner. This is annoying.

Meleoron frowned,

"... If I remember correctly, he has played in the game for a long time, so it's possible he has had contact with Alluka, right?"

"Don't you have to check if the name is in the Binder?"

"Alright then..."

"If I refuse here, I might lose the chance for an easy check. So you have no choice, do you?"

Thinking about it, so that's how it is. Well, keeping in touch with someone who has a long game history might be important. Thanks to the information Mr. Genthru provided last time, I was able to save a lot of time and energy for capturing.

"I think I should accept the invitation."

"... I think so too."

"Meleoron and Seam?"

"Same as big sister."

"Hey, Seam, don't force me."

"Honestly, I don't want to go, but it would be bad if I left Alluka alone..."

"It's not always guaranteed that you have a name, so don't worry."

"Even if I create another opportunity, I will do something about it."

"Saying things like that, and being late to speak, is not good..."

"Well, you should go. Instead, don't reveal your true identity, okay?"

"I don't want to show my face... it's too ugly, just lie to me."

"..."

"If Meleoron agrees, I will tell you."

Uranus responded with a complicated expression. Perhaps Meleoron himself thinks it is ugly. If you get used to it, I think it's charming and not bad.

"You can keep the seam normal, but please wear the one that covers your arms and legs, just in case."

"Hmm?"

"But, I have to leave it at the Inn because I have to wash it, right?"

"Ah... so that's how it is."

Then I have no choice but to go to the Inn to get it. So, should I end Training early today?

That depends on what time you want the other party to come for dinner.

Aisha, is that okay?"

"Either way, we don't have much time left, so it doesn't matter.

Today's Training is over."

"Shh!"

Meleoron is very happy.... No, I think you are in a rather immature state. Alright, let's cut it off at this point. It's still so difficult...

Well, I have only just begun to seriously accept combat instruction. Including roles not suited for combat, being unexpectedly exhausted, heh heh, even if it isn't very strange.

The story finished, and Uranus contacted Mr. Motariku using 'Communication'.

"It's Uranus."

"Hey.

So? Will you come?"

"Oh, I will accept your dinner invitation."

"Yay!"

"Why are you so happy about eating dinner..."

Then where should I go? Is it the same house as before?"

"Yeah, our house.

I didn't move, so it's still the same place. Remember?"

"Okay.

I remember that place, so you can pick me up. We will go there ourselves.

What time should I go?"

"Hmm...

Ah, how many people will be coming before that? 4 people?"

"...... Ah, four people."

"Just as planned.

Then... anytime 30 minutes from now is fine."

"......

Then I will be there sometime between 6:30 and 7:00 PM."

"Alright.

I'll be waiting for you tonight."

"Oh, I see."

"Goodbye."

"......

Book."

Uranus erased the adhesive and exhaled.

Meleoron tilted his head gloomily,

"Following the current flow, it seems I will be eating too."

"I am also worried... but it's fine.

Even if Meleoron doesn't eat, at least two people can eat."

"Who is that person? Uranus."

"Who is it?"

Whew...!

For now, I'll return to the Inn to change clothes. I really wanted to take a shower before going to someone else's house because I smell like sweat, but there isn't much time left until the appointment, so I gave up. I just wiped off the sweat.

We discussed what to do and asked Seam to wear summer clothes.

The same jumpsuit as Meleoron's, the vague judgment is that it's weird. Meleoron has no choice but to stay thoroughly Hidden.

"If you ask me about covering those hands and feet, I'll only say I don't want to show others because my skin is too rough..."

Is that why Meleoron is keeping it Hidden?"

"It's rough... that's fine."

Then, use "Accompaniment" to head to Antokiba. Usually, I prefer to use 【Return】, but now I only have 3 copies. I can't help but go to Masadora after this.... Uranus sighed that "Accompaniment" is a waste. As usual, he is either poor or frugal.

I walked through the streets of Antokiba, which became dark as the sunset reflected off them.

I left my backpack at the Inn because I received a dinner invitation and didn't want to carry luggage when visiting your house. The possibility of theft is not zero, but it shouldn't be a problem if it's not for long.

Even after Training, one can walk with a brisk pace. This isn't the usual jumpsuit, so I am walking comfortably.

In contrast, Meleoron's face darkened. He wore a hood to cover his eyes and was more attentive to his surroundings than usual.

"Where is your house?"

"Not that far, I'll be there soon."

Just as Uranus said, after walking a little along the main road from the entrance of Antokiba, we turned and stopped in front of a detached house after walking a short distance.

"Here.

Sorry, I arrived a bit early."

From the outside, it looks like a rather exquisite brick house. It is quite large.

There are signs that someone ran from inside. Is this... Mr. Senchi?

The door opened in a hurry.

"What, you've already come? It's quite early."

Mr. Motarike came out wearing his usual casual clothes. I wonder if this person has no other clothes... If he likes them, then that is unnecessary help. We are wearing almost the same clothes.

"Hey, you're here.

I accidentally came too early."

"No problem.

Either way, I'll be full soon. Come on up."

Looking from the entrance, it looks like an ordinary house. Are shoes strictly prohibited?

"Poor Motarike, I have something for you to do, so please continue.

I will go to the dining room soon. Because I know where it is."

"Hm?

Oh, I don't mind."

Uranus is good at making Mr. Motarike look away.... But what should I do?

Meleoron's legs. As expected, this is...

Uranus hurriedly took off his socks and handed them to Meleoron. I see, this is the only way.

Meleoron took them with a troubled look on his face,

"Sorry, I'll go borrow some.

... That? Ugh! Take your time...

Wow, your feet are too small. Still, this is tough.

Can this grow?"

"Don't worry.

... Somehow forced himself to put them on.

If you keep it for a while, it doesn't matter if it gets ruined."

"Understood... I must be careful not to accidentally fall and be discovered."

"...... Ask."

Phew, almost exposed my bare feet. I must be more careful so I don't accidentally get rags...

I flew while following Uranus through the corridor. Phew... This might be a nice house. I am truly living the life of a normal person. There are flowers in pots, and paintings hanging on the Wall. For the time being, I don't see this in my house.

If you live like this, you might not want to return to reality... The game has lost its feeling. I can't say it's actually a game, so that's that.

After walking a distance through the corridor, we stopped slightly in front of a door that opened on the side Wall.

Uranus spoke softly.

"That is the dining room.

Before Meleoron comes in, I will talk to him for a while.

Then I will decide whether to eat together."

"As I thought, wouldn't it be better if I didn't come?

It feels strange in such an ordinary house, but..."

"So, you who have Eliminate don't want to be left out, right?

I understand your feelings, but please bear with it."

"...... Okay."

Finally going to meet Maochi's wife, but it's difficult here...

So, what will happen?
