Chapter 527: Sleep Training

Chapter 527 Sleep Training

――――The 86th day of training.

The day after the fierce battle against the Elderado Great Empire (most of the hard fight was related to Vakala), Haru and I were at a medical facility in Carmine's territory. It may sounds like I'm here to heal Haru's wounds, but I think the method is a little different from what you imagine. After all, I don't use any magic to heal her wounds or to detox the poison, nor do I perform medical treatment.

「Suya~」

「She sure is sleeping comfortably, huh.」

By the way, I just let Haru sleep on the bed and just watch over her progress. ...... Yeah, I know. As a master, it hurts my conscience to leave my disciple as is. It's very painful. It's true, I'm not lying. However, considering Haru's future, I came to the conclusion that this treatment will make her happy the most.

Why, you ask? Heh, that's simple. After all, this is the perfect opportunity to level up Haru's 『Pleasant Sleep』 skill! ...... No, I know. It really hurts my conscience. But in fact, Haru is slowly recovering from the poison and wounds she received from Vakala by sleeping soundly. Yes, just like Lilyvia!

「Goshujin-sama, did you call me~?」

Lilyvia opened the door of the medical facility as if she had waited for this timing, and she peeked in with a relaxed face. Yeah, I thought about you for a moment, but I didn't call you.

「Pardon the intrusion~. Oh, Haru-chan is still sleeping.」

Despite my thoughts, Lilyvia entered the room without any hesitation. Hey, don't poke Haru's cheek without permission.

「Yeah, she has been like this since yesterday. Not waking up in the morning is not normal for Haru. Normally, she would wake up right on time for morning training no matter how tired she is the day before.」

「No, no, this is also a splendid training. It's extremely difficult and can only be practiced by the chosen ones.... Fufu, Haru-chan has finally reached this realm, huh? I'm deeply moved!」

「I-I see....」

「Suya~」

I don't really understand, but if Lilyvia, who's a pro at sleep training, says so, then it's probably true. Well, I always got caught in Nell's outburst and Alezel's scandals, so I was indebted to this Pleasant Sleep skill.

「But now that Haru-chan is absent, there's no one to take care of Goshujin-sama's personal needs. It can't be helped, I'll take care of things――」

「Hm? You don't have to worry about that. Touko has taken over Haru's jobs, such as cooking and laundry.」

「Touko-chaaaan!? Why did you steal my role without permission!?」

「Huh, that wasn't your order?」

Touko did it as if it were a matter of course, so I thought it was part of her training.

「At least, please let me wash Goshujin-sama's underwear...!」

「What the hell are you talking about....」

While saying so, Lily tried to reach out toward me (mainly my lower body). Even I couldn't keep quiet about this, so I tried to dodge her hand――

「Hey, you useless maid over there. Stop sexually harassing my husband.」

「「Whoa!?」」

Earlier than that, Nell suddenly cut in between me and Lily. By the way, she's also grabbing our shoulders. Eh, is she going to crush our shoulders with her hands? Even though she is my wife, I'd like her not to be so aggressive. Also, how did she get here?

「N-Nell, why are you here?」

「I sensed an immoral presence in Haruna's hospital room, so I came here, thinking that this useless maid was here. You see, with my Unique Skill, I can touch Lilyvia faster than she can touch Deris.」

Ah, I see. She set me as the target of her Unique Skill, and she attacked (caught) Lily before she could attack (sexually harassed) me. But Nell, why did you also attack (grab) my shoulder? Eh, you just wanted to touch me? I see....

「Ow ow ow! N-Nell! Your power is no joke! I don't mean to brag, but my defense is a paper armor more than yours!」

「Don't worry, you leveled up not long ago, right? You're a succubus, and you've evolved, right? Then, there's no problem. Just enjoy this new realm.」

「NOOOOOOOOOOOO!」

Lilyvia's scream echoed through the room. Hey, be quiet in the hospital room.

「Suya~」

「Haruna isn't waking up, huh? Even though Lilyvia is so noisy.」

「Whose fault do you think―― ah, I'm sorry, it's my fault. That's why please stop crushing my shoulder.」

「Hey, for the sake of Haru's sleep, please stop. She might wake up at this rate.」

「I know. Haruna was the most active in Vakala's trial, so I also want to let her rest. ...... By the way, she's really recovering, right? After the battle, Chinatsu really wanted to heal her.」

「Yeah, I somehow managed to stop her. She asked my sanity many times, but I did my best to persuade her. It was quite a struggle.」

「Well, that's natural.」

I was able to check Haru's remaining HP directly from her status screen, even from a distance, thanks to the connection of the 『Uncrowned Master and Disciple』. I noticed that she was gradually recovering through sleep, and I decided to use this method. However, for Chinatsu, who didn't know about such things, my instructions must have made her question my sanity. She unwillingly agreed in the end, but I think her impression of me at that time was very bad.

「Don't make that face. I've already explained it to Chinatsu, so I'm sure she understands it well enough now.」

「Thank you for your support.」

「Goshujin-sama, that's already over. Rather than something dark, let's talk about bright things! I mean, Touko-chan and the others have finally cleared all the Great Eight Demons' trials, right? As their masters, we should be happy for them!」

「Oh, you sure are saying something good, Lilyvia. Certainly, I didn't expect that they could clear Vakala's trial, the last trial, so quickly. Those girls are easily exceeding my expectations.」

「Right. With this, all the Great Eight Demons' trials are completely cleared. Now, it's only a matter of sending them back to their world――」

「――Wait a minute! Are you guys forgetting about me!?」

As the three of us were talking about the bright future, we heard a familiar voice coming from somewhere.

「Oh, if it isn't Agalia. Coming in through the window is bad, you know?」

「What are you talking about!? I'm sure you knew that I was waiting outside the window when you guys were talking, right!?」

The one who appeared from the window was the first rank of the Great Eight Demons, the 『Skyscrape』 Agalia Utopia. Hmm, I have no idea what he's talking about.

「Well, let's put the jokes aside. ...... I mean, it's after Vakala, you know? Your trial will definitely have less impact.」

「You ranked first, but in terms of true strength, you're in the middle, right? Vakala and Maria forced the first seat to you because it's troublesome to be at the top, right? Poor you...」

「Now that I've leveled up, I think I can beat Agalia! Bring it on!」

「They said terrible things about me...」

We sure did.
