Drink tea infused with pumpkin seeds with Luna Maria.

They each have a refill, drink up, and then return to their rooms.

Take a quick peek at the ladies' room, but it's a twin bedroom. Karen has changed into a negligee and is sleeping "cooing".

I'm sure she's tired.

And that was the word of Lunamaría.

It must be.

Nodding my head, I quietly closed the door and went back to my room, but it was Karen's ploy.

She woke up in the middle of the night, just as Luna Maria had fallen asleep, and headed to the communal bathroom.

She would finish up there and not go back to her room, but open my room.

I'm not in the habit of locking myself in my room, and it opens easily.

Karen looks at me in my sleep and

"Hmmm, you have a low guard, Master Will.

And then, with a suspicious and lustrous expression on his face, he crawls into my bed.

--Then she hugs my back and keeps the momentum going and does ...... nothing.


I'll sleep with you. I'm going to sleep with you.

Karen is a princess in a good way. She's very modest.

And I'm so tired today.
I'm not in the mood for that kind of thing.

Karen was also reasonably sensitive to the subtleties of others, and she knew firsthand that this boy, Will, was not very good at that sort of thing.

...... I don't want Master Will to hate me, so that's it for today. But I'm going to enjoy a good portion of Will's time by giving him a good smooch on the back.

And hugged his back as hard as he could.

Soon after that, I went to sleep, but the next morning, when Luna Maria arrived first thing in the morning after noticing that Karen was gone, she got angry and said, "What are unmarried men and women doing?

What are unmarried men and women doing?

The words were directed at me, even though I am apologetic, because I am not so sorry, but Karen is nowhere to be seen.

Lunamaría must be dying to do the same thing. I'm not going to hog Master Will for myself. Now, let's sleep together until breakfast is ready.

And tell them that there is space available in the opposite direction.

At those words, Lunamaría raises an eyebrow and says, "Mm-hmm," but eventually succumbs to temptation.

Wordlessly, she walks in next to me and lets out a cooing sound in her sleep.

Thus, I am surrounded by beautiful women on both sides.
I'm not immune to women.

I was accustomed to the softness of women's bodies and their sweet smells since Mom used me as her pillow, but still, the saint named Luna Maria and the young lady Karen were exceptional.

They were softer and smelled so much better than Mom's.

Disgusted by the tense girls, I let them do their thing and, per Karen's suggestion, I fell asleep until breakfast.




Woken up by a knock at the innkeeper's door, I headed to the dining room.

The menu consisted of bacon and eggs, bread, consomme soup, and yogurt.

It was a standard meal.

I don't have much of an appetite in the morning, so this was good enough for me.

Did you eat like this on the mountain?

Karen asks me questions while eating a piece of bread.

Yeah, well. . but sometimes, on the days when Ronin Dad would complain about wanting Japanese food, it would be Japanese food.

"Washok ......?

You look at me curiously.

Japanese food is the food of the island nation of Penglai in the east. They drink rice instead of bread and miso soup instead of soup. For side dishes, grilled salted salmon or something else is the standard.

"Well, that's healthy.

It's not only healthy, it's also very tasty. The sweetness of the rice and the flavor of the miso are worthy of special mention.

Drooling lady. She seems to be a gourmand.

When she gets back to the house, she declares she'll have a cook make it for her.

Well, I hear rice and miso are hard to come by around here.

"So how do you get it?　In Will's House.

"My dad is really into fermented foods. Miso is homemade. He ferments soybeans. Father Ronin would bring in bales of rice on his way to train.

Suffice it to say, you have a hell of a lot of fathers.

My mother often buys lotion from the land of Penglai. Well, it's definitely not a normal house.

When I let out a wry smile, I said, "Oh, talking about Mom and Dad makes me want to see them. I wonder if Mom and Dad are having dinner now.

I let out a lightly homesick line, but it doesn't mean I really want to go back.

I'm still more adventurous in my mind.

As proof, I finish my breakfast and itch to leave the inn.

I can't wait to get to the Northwoods town where Karen's house is located.

So, after finishing your meal, you cheer them on as you hurry to get out of the inn.

Looking up, you can see endless blue skies. It was a perfect day for a trip.




Meanwhile, on Table Mountain--a battle breaks out over breakfast.
A battle has broken out over breakfast at Table Mountain.

Meals in the abode of the gods are on a rotational system, with everyone taking turns, but today Ronin, the god of swords, is in charge.

He boldly makes rice balls of codfish and kelp for everyone, but that's the source of the problem.



Ronin had inadvertently made a portion for Will as well.

But the source of the conflict was not who would eat the leftover food, but the heartbreak of Milia, the goddess of healing, was gouged out when she saw the onigiri placed in the middle of nowhere.

She cried, "Oooh!" and said, "That's why I don't like brainiac Ronin. You have no delicacy," she complains.

Ronin must have been upset that I was gone.

I say, "Why do you have so much makeup on?

She has a lot of make-up on. This goddess is the most natural makeup artist in the world. The other day, the goddess of conspiracy hit on me to tell me how beautiful my skin is.

"You've got rotten eyes, haven't you?　Or was it any woman?

"What?

Goddess standing on end. There was a flurry of emotions, but it was the elder god who calmed the situation.

The Vandal, the god of magic, stood up silently.

Enough, you two. Will has only been gone a few days. What are we going to do at this rate?

"Hmm, this house isn't worth anything without Will. I smell like sweat and I smell like I'm getting old.

Do what you want. But will you at least go home. Do you want to not see him then?

"Mugu

And the goddess of silence. I'll be torn apart if I can't see Will, and I'll be silent.

But she's not silent until the end. You're going to eat a rice ball for Will to make up for the loss of appetite.

Well, okay. Will's face is solemnly forgiven. Huh, but my little Will. I hope he's eating his breakfast.

"You don't need to worry about that. There's a girl named Luna Maria with him. She's older than Will, and she's solid. She'll make a good sisterly wife.

"...... Hmm, how can an old man be Will's wife?

Tung, said back, Miria gulped down the miso soup in her cup. She doesn't like bowls, so she drinks the miso soup in a cup, too.

Now, this is how the gods were having their breakfast.

She was having the same 'routine' as always, except that her beloved son was gone.
