Chapter 456 - Chapter 405: Expectations Are Too High
"Amazing. Did you fix all of this yourself, Shou-kun?"
Azure-san looked surprised at the mansion, whose roof was repaired and walls replaced.
"Paan and the others helped a lot. Sweee and the others are diligently working on the backyard flowerbeds."
「~~~♪」
The Queen puffed out her chest on the White Dragon Princess's shoulder at my words.
Though I said 'Sweee and the others,' I feel like the actual work was done by the Fairies and Urisks.
"This way."
We entered through the front door and proceeded to the right side of the hall.
It was good I replaced the floor before inviting the two in.
When I opened the storehouse door, the piano stored inside was revealed.
"Oh~, this is it~."
"What's this~?"
"It's an instrument called a piano. It's broken now, though, so it doesn't make a sound."
Does the White Dragon Princess not know what it is? Or perhaps she knows in her awakened mode, but not now?
Mion can apparently play the piano, and if she could teach the White Dragon Princess... it would make for a beautiful picture...
"So, can I borrow this for a while to have it looked at?"
"Yes, please. But how will you transport it?"
If Azure-san transforms back into his Azure Dragon form... I feel like it might break during transport if it's not properly packed.
"There's a large Transfer Magic Circle at the place we usually arrive, right? I think it would be best to use that to send it from here to the Dragon Capital."
He said the Transfer Magic Circle they usually use is too small to carry it.
Azure-san could use Spatial Magic for transfer, but using the installed magic circle is safer and cheaper in terms of mana cost.
So, using that Transfer Magic Circle was the best way.
"Can we send things from here with that?"
"I don't know if Nina-san can do it, but if I use the Transfer Magic Circle, I think I can send it there."
"I see."
Shou-kun. About the Magic Certificate Management Device for guild cards.
Ah, that's right. It was still stored here, so I should show it to him too.
"Azure-san. Do you know about this?"
I took out the [Magic Certificate Management Device] from a wooden box stored to the side.
Also a stack of magic certificates, or rather, unused guild cards.
"Ah, I think I saw these a long time ago. These are all the ones we handed over to the humans. So, they manage guilds with these, huh?"
"So it seems."
I briefly explained the guild functions, or rather, the guild card functions.
However, I also mentioned that I myself had never used one, so it was all hearsay.
"If you handed them all over, does that mean the Dragonkin don't use them?"
"That's right. I usually leave everything to Argenta, and she manages just fine."
Azure-san said that, but in reality, Argenta-san probably struggles to make it work...
"You're going to use them when Shou-kun establishes a guild, right?"
"Yes."
"Then, can I also register for your guild?"
"Oh, right. The people I'd want to contact immediately would be Argenta-san, Azure-san, and Vermilion-san, I guess?"
Azure-san smiled broadly at my words.
"I'm looking forward to it~."
Somehow, I feel like I'll be receiving frequent messages...
Argenta-san, on the other hand, seems like she would be considerate in that regard, which is a relief.
"Oops, well then, let's transport it right away."
"Ah, can you carry it?"
"Of course. But, before that, Princess?"
Huh? She was just here a moment ago...
She seems to have disappeared in the middle of our conversation. Lupi-chan went with her.
An oracle from the goddess told me, so I stepped into the hallway and looked left and right. Lupi was sitting in the hall, looking at me.
"Woof."
"Hm?"
When I went over, she gestured, "This way, this way" and led towards the bedroom.
I thought there was nothing there right now because of the floor replacement, but,
""Ah...""
The White Dragon Princess was sleeping, clinging to Leda and Roy. And Sweee was sprawled out on top of her, snoring...
Well, that room has windows facing south, so it gets warm on sunny days.
"Shou-kun. Can you watch the Princess here? I'll carry the piano to that spot in the meantime."
"Ah, yes. Please do."
I wondered if Azure-san could manage alone, but he easily carried the Jade Goddess Statue before, so it should be fine.
That aside, Leda and Roy were looking at me with eyes that said, "What should we do?"... Yeah.
"Sorry. Let them sleep a little longer."
………
……
…
After Azure-san transported the piano and returned, the White Dragon Princess also woke up. She was probably full and had dozed off a bit.
After thoroughly praising Leda and Roy, we all headed to the Large Transfer Room.
"Nina. Can this large magic circle not only receive from the other side, but also send things there?"
[Yes. Non-living objects can be transferred. However, this is predicated on there being no obstacles at the destination.]
"Oh, Nina-san is amazing! Anyway, I've confirmed that there's nothing on the other side, so can you send the piano that's here now?"
[Yes. I will execute if I have Shou's permission.]
"Yeah. Please send it."
[Yes. Understood. Transferring.]
The moment Nina replied, the large magic circle glowed faintly, and in the next instant, the piano was gone.
It really can be sent that quickly.
That's amazing.
I nodded to Mion.
I really want to be able to use Spatial Magic, after all.
I need to use Spatial Magic more often...
"Alright, we should probably head back too. Princess, remember to say thank you for the souvenir."
"Thank you, big brother!"
"Yeah, see you later."
「~~~♪」
"Bye-bye~~~."
They got on the Transfer Magic Circle and returned to the Dragon Capital.
With this, we're waiting for the results on the Transfer Magic Circle connected to the south, and the piano repair.
Also, as for what else I can do here,
"What should I do about the guild? Azure-san and Argenta-san seemed to have quite high expectations..."
How about asking during the live stream?
"A live stream, huh? I feel like everyone there would also say 'make one.' And if that leads to more requests and makes me busy, I feel like that's not what I want..."
Not being able to relax is bad.
Somehow, I feel like people might ask if I even have any intention of relaxing...
Um, wouldn't it be okay to just put out requests from our side?
"Ah, that's right. Well, I'll ask if that's okay."
Yes!
I wonder if I should start thinking about the guild name now...
