After breakfast, I told Kaida-kun about my plans going forward.
“Search for… the Fairy Flower?”
“Yep.”
“Why…?”
“? Isn’t it obvious? Because my friend was sad.”
“!?”
Kaida-kun’s eyes widened. Huh, why does he look so surprised…?
“Why would you…”
“Anyone can see you’re sad about Fairy King Oberon and Maya dying, Kaida-kun, right? You don’t need Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet) to figure that out.”
“…Thank you, Mika.”
Tears welled up in Kaida-kun’s eyes. See? I knew he was sad.
“Master, you’ve seduced another one… even though he’s an old man.”
“What are you talking about, Sinri…”
Alright then.
“Well, I’m heading off.”
“Hold on, Nagano-san.”
Niekawa-san stopped me.
“What is it?”
“How do you intend to get there?”
“Well, either Greater Teleportation, or I’ll just zoom over with Flight Magic.”
Kaida-kun, Niekawa-san, Sinri, and even Tenri looked at me as if I were someone pitiful. Eh, what…?
“Master, did you really live in Japan?”
“How rude. Of course, I did. What about it?”
“Have you ever seen anyone flying through the sky in modern Japan?”
…Ah.
“Greater Teleportation only lets you travel to places you’ve been before. Have you ever been there?”
………………Ah.
Haaaah… Sinri and Tenri sighed.
“Besides, Master is currently unemployed. How do you plan to get to Nagano? What about money?”
“Don’t have any…”
“Perhaps you should think before you act.”
“Yessum…”
Getting lectured by my daughter (an infant), that’s me, Nagano Mika, 29 years old, single…
“Sinri-chaaan. Comfort your mommy~”
Sinri just smiled.
“Pfft! Master, you’re 29 and you’re asking an infant to coddle you? Lol. Is this what they call ‘acting like a baby’? Lol. Even though you’re almost thirty? Lol. Pfft-heeheeheehee.”
…Sinri started clutching her stomach, laughing. Honestly, this child…
“T-Tenri-san, please say something.”
“…”
“Tenri-san!?”
Tenri, who usually spews venom at Sinri with such eloquence, was silent.
It’s fine, you know, you can say your usual sharp things.
“So, what’s the plan for transportation?”
“R-Right… yeah. We need to figure that out first…”
“That’s simple,” Kaida-kun said.
“I shall provide a car.”
“Is that okay?”
“Indeed. I shall also provide a driver from our side. Furthermore, I will provide funds for your activities.”
“S-Seriously…? Are you sure?”
“Indeed.”
Just providing food and lodging was more than enough, but for him to do all this…
It’s almost too much. But… conversely, it makes me feel bad.
“Are you really sure? It helps us out, but…”
“Of course, it is! You saved my life and brought me luck and happiness. You are, quite literally, a goddess.”
Saved his life and introduced him to Fairy King Oberon.
That’s probably what he meant.
“Therefore, if you are in trouble, I will help you. It is only natural.”
“Kaida-kun…”
He’s a good guy. He’s become a little strange (in his senses and stuff), but he’s still a good kid, isn’t he?
“I shall send the initial operating funds. Do you use net banking?”
“Yeah, thanks.”
I gave him my account number.
Kaida-kun took out his Smartphone and swiped, swiped, swiped at the screen.
“Let’s see, let’s see how much got transferred to Master… Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
Sinri let out a bizarre shriek.
“Shut up, idiot sister. You’re noisy.”
“But, but, but! This is crazy! The amount transferred… it’s insane!”
Insane…?
I opened my net banking page.
Money had been transferred from Kaida-kun.
“Fah…!?”
A strange sound escaped my lips without thinking!
Well, you can’t blame me! Because…
“Uh, Kaida-kun… Are you sure you didn’t add an extra digit or something…?”
100 million yen. That’s what had been transferred into my account as living expenses for the time being!
100 million, no, no, no!
“? I see, understood.”
“Y-You understand…”
Another 100 million yen was transferred.
“You don’t understand at all!”
“Hm? What, did you mean two hundred million isn’t enough?”
“Nooooo! It’s too much!”
Transferring 200 million yen just like that!
This guy’s a little nuts!
“Wow, Master’s making a retort.”
“For Master, who’s always playing the fool, to make a retort…”
“Yeah~ Maybe it’s an omen of some cataclysm~”
Hey, cut it out, you AI sisters over there.
Don’t say such inauspicious things.
An omen of a cataclysm, she says.
There’s no such thing. Definitely not.
And besides, I’ve made retorts before!
