Chapter 35 This Slacker True Monarch Pretends to Be Deaf Again... If You Don't Come Out Soon, I Won't Treat You to Drinks

Ying: "There are quite a lot of people to invite. If we want to finish notifying everyone quickly, we'll probably have to split up..."

Paimon: "Okay, let's go!"

Ying: "Mhm, I'll go find Klee first. Lumine and Paimon, you two do your best too~"

"Alright, be careful on your way."

"Got it~"

Running…

"Klee probably hasn't run off by this time… But even if she has, it's fine as long as she doesn't get locked in solitary confinement~"

"It's quite sudden, but I'm curious, Host, how do you feel wearing this outfit~?"

(Are you obsessed with clothes these past few days… Sigh, it's okay, but rather than looking good, I prefer something more casual and less conspicuous, like sportswear or casual wear.)

"Then, Host, don't think about it, because I'm a beauty-first prioritizing person."

(Are sportswear and casual wear not good-looking?)

"They're good-looking, but most readers would probably prefer to see the Host wearing things like Lolita or bunny girl outfits~"

(Ugh… Let them dream!)

"When most people say that, there's an 80% chance they'll be proven wrong, but if it's the Host, I think it's a 100% certainty."

(Emm… Please shut that blessed mouth of yours!)

"Heh heh~"

"Sigh… I wonder if Klee is at the Knights' headquarters…"

"Oh? Isn't this Ying? Nice new outfit~"

"Kaeya? Wait… haven't we met before?"

"Hahaha~ We indeed haven't, but didn't you help the Knights out with a big task a few days ago? So it's quite normal that I know your name."

"I just lured away a few Hilichurls… Oh right, right, are you free tomorrow?"

"Hmm? That depends on what you want me to do."

"What else would I want you to do? Of course, go play in the Snow-Mtn! (His answer is really so flexible…)"

"To the Snow-Mtn? Then I would certainly…"

"Certainly?"

"Not be able to go~"

"Are you playing with me?!"

"Hahaha, sorry, sorry~ After all, the Windblume Festival is starting in a few days, and I have a lot of things to attend to."

"That's a shame… Alright, alright. By the way, do you know where Klee is?" (I kind of don't believe you have a lot to do…)

"Klee~ She should be coming out soon."

"Uh… Won't she be locked in solitary confinement…"

"You guessed right~ But the trouble she caused this time wasn't too serious, so Acting Grand Master Jean isn't keeping her for too long. She should be out this evening (^_^)"

"Ah, this… Can I go see her? And notify her by the way."

"Of course, you can. You know where solitary confinement is, right?"

"Don't worry, I'm not incapable of asking for directions~"

"Hahaha, then hurry up and go~"

Ying quickly ran towards solitary confinement, praying internally to avoid any accidents as she ran.

"Klee! Are you in there?"

"That voice? Is it Sister Ying?!"

"Is my voice that recognizable… By the way, Klee, why did you get into trouble again?"

"Uh… Klee didn't mean to…"

"Hahaha~ It's okay, it's okay. I caused more trouble than you when I was little. Isn't that what being a kid is about, getting into trouble a few times? (Though definitely not as bad as you…)"

"Wuw… But…"

"Don't be sad, don't be sad. I'll take you to the Snow-Mtn tomorrow, okay?"

"Really?! Yay!"

"Mhm, then let's meet at the city gate tomorrow morning, okay~"

"Mhm mhm! Got it!"

(I didn't expect I'd be quite good at coaxing children~)

"Yes, after all, the Host is a seasoned loli-con~"

(Shut up!)

"What next… let me think… Emm… Will Master Diluc be willing to come… In any case, I'll go there first~"

Running again x2………………

"Hoo… I'm so tired from running… Is Master Diluc here?"

"Oh? You're here again. What is it? Do you need to buy wine to give as a gift again?"

"Uh uh uh, I'm not here to buy wine this time. Master Diluc, are you free tomorrow? If you are, would you like to go to the Snow-Mtn with us?"

"The Snow-Mtn? What for?"

"Uh… If I said it was to play with everyone, would you go? (・・)"

"Hmm… Alright, let's just say it's to enjoy the scenery."

"Really? Yay~"

"By the way, why are you wearing clothes like that? Do you want to be a maid?"

"Ah this… Because… Because I don't have any other clothes!"

"Is that so… Alright. I was thinking if you were willing, I could hire you to work here. Having a little maid to serve them would surely be quite attractive to them."

"Haha… Ha… That's truly a shame…"

"You get to see yourself being stared at by so many lustful eyes, Host, hurry and accept~"

(Get lost! And wasn't what I said on the street just now about the same thing?)

"That's different. On the street, people can only stare for a few seconds, but here, people will stare at you non-stop until you finish your shift~"

(I advise you to be kind… The thought of that is terrifying…)

"Hee hee, just kidding~"

"Cough cough… Then, Master Diluc, I'll continue inviting others~"

"Mhm, safe travels."

"Hmm… Lumine said Noelle will find her. Among the people I know, only Diona and Venti are left… I'll go find Diona first~"

Running again x3………………

"Hello? I'm coming in~"

"Ah~ It's you. What is it? Do you want to pet little Diona's head again today?"

"Uh… Have I petted her head before…?" (But now that she mentions it, I do feel like petting it…)

"Hey! I'm still here!"

"Ahaha~ You two chat on. I'll be going~"

"Really! Ying, are you here to find me…"

"Mhm… Ah! Of course, we're planning to go play in the Snow-Mtn tomorrow. I came to ask if you're going owo"

"Play?! Hmm… Alright then, I'll accept your invitation!"

"Really? That's great~" Ying subconsciously reached out and patted Diona's small head.

"Hmph hmph~ If you're happy then… Hey! You're actually petting me!"

"Aiya?! Sorry, sorry. Hearing the owner say that, I just instinctively reached out ( ̄▽ ̄)"

"Honestly… Don't treat me like a cat anymore!"

"Hee hee~ Okay, okay. Then I'll go notify the others, bye~"

"Hmph, go on then."

"Next, I need to find Venti… but that guy shouldn't be too much trouble."

"Cough cough! Ven—ti!!"

……………

"This slacker true hero is pretending not to hear… If you don't come out soon, I won't treat you to wine!"

"Aiyaiya~ It takes time to get here, you know~"

"I won't believe you!"

"Heh heh~"

"Sigh… Do you want to go play in the Snow-Mtn tomorrow?"

"The Snow-Mtn? It has indeed been a while. Hmm… Alright, alright, I'll grant your wish, little one~"

"Grant my wish… You can actually say that…"

"Hahaha~ Then I'll be going. I still have to perform my poems for the audience later~ Oh, right! Don't forget to bring me that bottle of wine later!"

"Got it, got it… Honestly, finding Venti every time costs me so much Mora (t^t)"
