令嬢はまったりをご所望 (HIATUS)

V2 Chapter 5

「Let's go, Sena!」

Now that the story has ended, Ryuse rushes Sena to go look for Rhonya, but Laclain stopped them with his right wing.

「There's one more thing you should know. If you truly care for Rhonya.」

「Tsk!... What is it?」

Since he put it like that, Ryuse can't ignore him. Ryuse decided to hear Laclain out now that he knows Laclain is not hostile towards them.

「It's regarding the demon.」

「Hasn't it been sealed?」

「Barrier and sealing magic are not Rhonya's strong suit, but that demon is very good at destroying seals. This is a troublesome matter. Ever since the demon was defeated, they have been obsessed with Rhonya. No matter many times they've been sealed, they still try to escape to possess Rhonya. Please keep an eye out for Rhonya if you continue to frequent her store.」

Hearing that Rhonya has been targetted by the demon, the expression of everyone from the Beastman squad turned sour.

「You said that it'll be easier to protect her if she stayed in the forest...」

「Hm, she probably thinks that the demon won't be able to find her. Rhonya seems to think that she can take them on herself, but that fella is clever and it doesn't hurt to be cautious. Gratia will seal them away the next time they appear.」
(lilies: well if he can't be sealed, he can always join Rhonya's harem XD)

Hearing what Laclain said, Sena thought for a bit and asked.

「...So what she's escaping from is not the demon.」

She's not hiding from the demon, but instead running away from an environment that constantly denied her. Perhaps, to her, that environment is more terrifying than a demon. Laclain stared at Sena and pointed his wing in a certain direction.

「Rhonya is with Gratia, beside the honey tree. If you continue along this path, you'll see a tree with orange nectar hanging from it. You'll know once you see it. Run along now.」

Ryuse was ready to leave immediately. He asked Chise who was seated.

「Boss... is asleep. Are you coming along, Chise?」

「I'll wait here for you guys with Shize.」

Somehow, Shize had already laid down. He doesn't plan on going to look for Rhonya.

「Hmm. Let's go, Sena.」

Ryuse and Sena left in the direction Laclain pointed to. Chise called out to them while seeing them off.

「Don't do unnecessary stuff, you guys.」

Orphedoto and Laclain waited for Chise to continue.

「You should know that we like Rhonya. Do you plan on competing with us as well?」

After making such a shocking statement, Chise directed a pugnacious smile to Laclain. To which Laclain returned with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

「That's why you're beasts...」Orphedoto said while facepalming.
(lilies: what's the alternative to facepalming...)

「...Speaking of which, weren't you here for the napping spot Rhonya recommended? I'll bring you over. 」

Orphedoto recalled the purpose of their visit and asked. Chise was a little stunned and turned to look at Shize who was laying on his back.

「... Wait a moment.」
