We escaped from space-time and returned to our original location.


Welcome back, Master.


　We were soon greeted by Shaple at .......

"Well, thanks for waiting.
"No, no, ten hours is only a moment.

　"No, no, no, ten hours is just a moment," said Shaple, who had been waiting for me in this place for a thousand years.
　But...

Your eyes look a little swollen to me, don't they?
"......!

　When I pointed this out, Shaple turned around and rubbed his eyes as if in a panic.

No, it's not. It's not like I was crying because Master was gone. ...... That's not true.

　　I'm not sure what to say.

　I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one. ...... I'm sure I've given Shaple a hard time.
　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think it's a good idea. I guess it's understandable.

　I stroked Shaple's head with an apology.

"I'm sorry I missed you. I'm sorry.

　I said.

"......!

　Shaple turned her head back, but I could still see her face turning bright red.

I'm in this world now. I can't stay here ...... forever, but I'll come back to see you often. Is that okay with you?
"Yes, yes!　I'm very happy!

　I'm very happy!" She said, speaking a little faster than her usual tone.
　I made Shaple. A thousand years ago, she was lonely, so I made her as close to a human as possible so that she could talk to me.
　But now that I've touched it for the first time in a long time, I can see how elaborate it is.
　It's not so different from the feeling of stroking Lara's head. If you didn't know that Shaple was an artificial intelligence, you wouldn't notice that it wasn't human.

"Master.
"Hmm?

　Shaple turns around and looks up at me.

"May I bury my face in your chest, Master?　I haven't seen you in a thousand years. I think I have the right to do that.
"...... Well, if that's what Shaple wants to do, then fine.

　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it'll be fine.

I'm not sure what to make of this.

　Shaple jumped into my chest.
　The sweet smell of her tickled the bridge of my nose.
　She may be an artificial intelligence, but she's not inorganic. It's a human smell.

　For a while, Shaple buried her face in my chest and seemed to be enjoying it.

"...... wind. Oh, thank you very much.

　She slowly pulled her face away.
　Her face seemed to be flushed.

　...... Hmmm. Even after a thousand years, you still can't understand the female mind.
　That much I can say.

"Shaple-chan, that's not fair!
No matter how much artificial intelligence you have, you can't do such a shameful thing!
I want Cynthia to do the same.

　Lara waved her hands in the air and Marise crossed her arms, looking resentful. Cynthia looked at me enviously with her fingers in her mouth.
　I'll see you three later. If you continue like this and do what you just did, my heart will be beating so fast I'll explode.

"And yet, Master.

　For a change, Shaple continued with a stern look.

"I found this out when I laid my body against your chest earlier. It seems you have regained the power you had a thousand years ago.
"Yes.

　I nodded.

　Shaple is very good at analyzing magic.
　I wanted him to manage my physical condition and magical power, so it had to come naturally.

No. ...... What's this?　It looks like it's even more powerful than it was a thousand years ago. ...... Am I mistaken?
No, you're not mistaken.

　By going into space-time.
　By going into space-time, I've gained even more power.
　Not only have I regained the power I had a thousand years ago, I'm even stronger than I was then.
　I've created a good space for myself.

I think I can defeat Bagnuba easily next time. Even a thousand years ago, even the Master seemed to have trouble with him.
That's true.

　Well, even a thousand years ago, it took a long time, not a hard time.
　If it was a struggle, they wouldn't have gone to the trouble of reincarnating to find someone stronger than me.



"Shall we go take down Bagnuba right away?
Yeah. But ......

　I look at Lara and the others.

What's up, Kurt?
We need to go now.
Cynthia's ...... with me. ......

　The three of them said this one after another.

　However, despite their words, their expressions seemed to be tired.
　It can't be helped. After all, they had been training in space-time for ten hours straight. It's not surprising that you're tired.
　Hence.

"...... No, let's rest here for the night. We don't want to get too tired and mess up.

　When I suggested this, all three of their faces seemed to relax a little.
　I knew they were tired.

"I'm hungry too. Shall we eat something?
"Yeah, I guess so!　Oh, I'll cook if you have the ingredients. I'll make a delicious meal for you!

　Lara raises her hand cheerfully.

"Hey!　Lara!　I'm not going to let you get away with this!
Cynthia also ...... cooks .......

　Marise and Cynthia followed suit.
　If you want to buy food, you can use transfer magic to go to the capital and buy it. Fortunately, there is a kitchen in this house.

I'll leave it to Lara and the others if you say so. I'm counting on you.
""Yes!"

　The three of them replied in unison.

　Yes!

　It may seem like a noisy place because of the cleaning robots and the alarm system, but ...... it's a pretty nice place to live if you can get those things to stop.
　We gathered in the living room and decided to have dinner.


"Bon appétit!


　Lara, wearing an apron, placed a plate of food in front of the table.
　Of course, Marise and Cynthia were also wearing aprons. Both of them look very cute.

I'm sure you'll like it." "Oh, ......, that looks delicious. Lara is still a great cook.
"Yes!　More praise, more praise!

　Lara is in a languid mood.

　Well, ...... how does it taste?
　I ran my knife through the hamburger and put it in my mouth.

"...... Delicious!

　I shouted out.
　The juices spread into my mouth as I chewed.
　The demi-glace sauce on it was also excellent, and I couldn't stop myself from eating it.

Not only me, but also Marise and Cynthia did a great job!
"Well, I'm not much of a cook. I'm not a very good cook, so I tried not to drag Lara down!
"Cynthia ...... did a great job.

　Cynthia did a great job." "Well, when I was eating this dish, I could picture the three of you working so hard.

Thank you, all three of you. It's a great dish. Let's all have some.
""Yes!"

　The three of them took off their aprons and sat down in front of their respective tables.
　They began to eat happily.

"How's Shaple?

　I asked Shaple, who was standing nearby.

"I'm ......?
Even though you're an artificial intelligence, you should be able to enjoy a normal meal just like any other human.

　A thousand years ago, I wanted Shaple to understand the pleasure of food, so I created her so that she could replenish her energy like that.

　But Shaple shook his head sideways.

"No, you can't. Because I'm in the service of a master. I'll take the leftovers.
What do you mean? It's such a delicious dish. There won't be any.
Even better. I can't take such a delicious dish from Master.

　Shaple stubbornly refuses.
　That's a problem. ...... He's an auspicious guy, but I want her to enjoy this dish.

I'm sure you'll agree.



　I stabbed the shredded hamburger with my fork and brought it to Shaple's mouth.

......!

　This is a great way to make sure you are getting the best value for your money.
　Eventually.

"...... is delicious.
Isn't it?

　He put his hand on his cheek, his eyes shining.

"Don't worry about it in front of me. You can sit next to me, Shaple.
"If you insist, ...... I'll take your word for it.

　Shaple took a seat.
　I thought he was going to start eating right away, but .......

Master.
Hmm?
Would you mind repeating what you just did?

　What just happened?　Putting the food in Shaple's mouth?

No choice, see?

　I put the fork with the hamburger sticking out of it again, and Shaple opened his mouth and said, "Ahhh.
　When I put it in, he started chewing on the hamburger again like a small animal.

　What the hell is going on?
　I was puzzled.

"Aaah!　Shaple-chan, you're cheating again!
I can't believe you're letting Kurt suck your cock!
Cynthia's turn at ......!

　Lara and the others stood up and said, "What's wrong with you three?
　Lara and the others stood up and walked up to me.

"'Aaah!'

　They said, and opened their mouths with their eyes closed.

"What do you want me to do?" ......

　In spite of this, the cooking time passed happily.
