It's been about two weeks since we defeated the Fenix Party.
　I'm the floor boss of the tenth layer, and at the same time, I'm also the chief of staff, so the planning of the strategy is also within the scope of my duties. It's my job to support the execution of the plan.

　You could say that she's living a full life every day.
　My hard-working dog-eared secretary Kash is cute, and I get along well with my sleeping companion, the beautiful vampire Mira.
　Watching the fenix party fight off has given me a chance to interact with people who were skeptical of my abilities or withheld their attitudes.

　The demons in the first and fourth layers know my black magic firsthand, but the people in the fifth layer and below didn't know about it. It's impossible to ask them to immediately accept someone who was suddenly selected as a chief strategist.
　Recently, I've been talking to a lot of people, regardless of the layers.

　Now, after being officially recognized as a member of the Demon King's Army Staff, I was allowed to enter the staff dormitory.
　Different buildings are prepared for each race, and the one I entered is for demons.
　The only physical difference between mavens and humans is their horns, so the buildings are built the same as those of humans.
　It's different if this is a mermaid or a bird person.

　Because of my job as an adventurer, I don't have a fixed place to live, so it's strange to have this kind of 'room of my own'.
　Some adventurers build mansions, but as long as they are adventurers, they are almost like vacation homes.
　It's difficult to stay in one place, since your job is to move around from place to place while hiding in dungeons.

　There is a sense of security or stability in settling down in one place. I was enjoying it.
　Naturally, my day begins when I get up.

　◇

　Consciousness is connected to reality. It's a hazy state, like I'm half asleep.
　Still, I adjust the black magic I've cast on myself.
　The mattress is fluffy and the sheets are slippery. The futon is fluffy and light, and it feels nice and warm when wrapped in it.

Hmmm.....

　I was hugging something.
　A pillow, or maybe a half-rolled comforter.
　It was soft and warm and comfortable.
　It's soft and fluffy, and it feels great to the touch.

I'm not going to be able to get away with it.

　I hear a voice that sounds like it's holding something back.
　Something dry tickles on my face.
　But it smells somehow good.
　When I moved my head to rub my forehead against it, it trembled.

It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get away with it.

　 .........

　I don't care if it's a pillow or a comforter, but does bedding talk?
　Also, can you feel your body temperature and heartbeat?
　Do they have hair or two bulges on them?
　If I had one, would I be allowed to rub it?

　I take stock of the situation in my fully awake consciousness, wishing the rapidly cooling sleepiness would wait and let me still be asleep.
　Here, in my bedroom, in my room. On the bed.
　Sleeping is me and a beautiful blond-haired, red-eyed vampire.
　And I'm fully clothed. Good. And who is not totally naked.
　Now, what am I doing?

　He used Mira as a hug pillow.

　Not--not good. Not good at all.
　I jumped away from her.

"Gee, gee, I'm sorry, Mira-san!

　I hurriedly raised my body and apologized immediately.
　Mila-san........for some reason she was wearing my robe.
　She was naked and wearing the [Black Mage] robe, an extremely novel outfit.
　I didn't make her do it.

''Good morning, Leme. You've been intense since this morning.

　Mila smiled with a chuckle, covering the front of her robe with one hand and draping her hair over her ears with the other.
　The sensational gesture made me wobbly, but I disciplined myself that now was not the time.

'I'm really sorry...'

'You were sleepwalking, weren't you?　It's okay, it's just a bit of an accident.

　A smile like Our Lady's. The merciful Mira.

'I'm glad to see you're sleeping so well these days.

　The day I was first sucked by Mira.
　We became snuggle buddies.
　It's a strange relationship; we're closer than normal friends, but we're not lovers.
　We met two years ago, but we didn't actually get involved until a few days later. It was too early to start a relationship.

　Ever since I moved into the dormitory, we've been spending more and more time together, Mira-san.
　The reason for this is because she keeps coming to my room. To my room.
　At first, she would accompany me to my room to buy the things I needed to live with, and then she would cook for me. And then she was going to cook for me, and I was told I couldn't go home that day because I was too drunk to stay.
　I tried to sleep on the floor, but she pushed me away, saying it was no problem for her because we were sleeping together.

　From then on, Mira-san came to my room almost every day.
　To be honest, I don't have the resources to live on my own, and Mila's help has been extremely helpful. I enjoy being with her, and although it can be a bit heartbreaking at times, I'm able to talk to her more naturally these days.

　There are things that bother me though, like the fact that her personal belongings are increasing in her room day by day, the fact that she never lets me see an opening in front of her, and the fact that she often wears my clothes without my permission for some reason.
　I'm sure we're getting closer and closer.
　However, this is still the case.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.

I'll be careful. I've been sleeping a lot lately..." "I'll be careful. "I'll be careful..." "I've been sleeping a lot lately... Maybe it's because I'm too comfortable...　

So I don't mind. Besides--

　She puts one hand on the bed.
　Slowly, the mattress sinks down.
　Her face comes closer to mine. Her golden hair hangs down smoothly.

'I won't sleep with you if you don't want to be touched.'

　A voice mixed with breath and a bewitching smile.

''If only Reme-san was willing............

It's...

　Before I can say anything, those lips are stopped by her white fish fingers.

'Yes. For that, I will have to cage Leme to attack me with love, not greed.

　Then she moves away.

'Let's have breakfast. My strategy of grabbing your stomach is still going on today.

　This time she laughs like a dainty little girl.
　She's really a woman who uses so many different faces, and it's troubling because all of them are so attractive.
　It's a brave man who never loses a battle, but I felt like I was losing to her all the time.
　At any rate, this was the beginning of my morning as the Demon King's Army Counselor.　
　There were a few small happenings, but a new normal day usually starts like this, where I wake up with Mira-san.
