Akuyaku Reijou ni Nanka Narimasen - Chapter 422 (Patreon)

Well, let's clean up the mess.
With the Shiva situation settled, I finally noticed something troublesome.

"Speaking of which, what should we do about Rinka's Revelation?"

"Oh, I've already decided. I've got the Ultimate Trap Master and other Revelations as well. I am ready to storm the place whenever."

Rinka's confident smile was quite reassuring. She laughed when asked about the other Revelations, saying they're a secret.

"By the way, do we not need to fix Shiva Golems' faces? If they go back to having normal faces, we won't know if they're weakened or what."

"...... We might need to fix them."

"I'll help!"

"Yeah, I'll lend a hand too. My Revelation should speed things up."

"Please, that would be great."

I need to come up with a plan for the Shiva Golems makeover when I wake up. I wonder if Ernst would help out too.

"Speaking of which, how's your relationship with Evi… Lavi?"

"W-We occasionally go on dates. Usually, Lavi-kun is working."

"What?"

"Huh?"

Working? Evil, working??

"What kind of work?"

"I haven't looked into the details, but it's paperwork. Lots of black arms are coming out of Judas-sama’s body.”

Short on manpower, huh? Wolfanea... no, they were probably just lacking in man-power in that department. They have more brawn than brains, after all... No, that's not the issue!

"Lavi can handle paperwork!?"

"He was apparently working as a substitute for the dozing-off Judas all this time, and he said he's capable."

“”Is he a shoemaker’s elf?!”

"Something like that."

The image of Lavi, the incarnation of Evil... has taken quite a different turn...

"I mean, is it that surprising? Rosarin, even you have the spirits doing paperwork for you.”

Shiva chimed in.

“"............"”

Kanata-san and Rinka stared at me intently. I averted my gaze.

"Well, because they offered to help!"

"... It's because it’s you, Rosarin-chan.”

"Yeah, it’s Rosarin-chan alright."

Stop it! Don't just accept it without question!! What's so special about me?! I panicked, and Rinka changed the topic with a wry smile.

"Oh, by the way, I wanted to ask Mystia something."

"What is it?"

"Is the Rose of Light really your power, Mystia? It doesn't feel like it. I can't sense your magic power from Chita-kun."

Cold sweat trickled down my back. She's really straightforward, isn't she? Wait, does that mean... Chita...?

"Oh, that one, I made it. That much is true."

"I can't tell you the materials, though."

“Materials, huh.”

Kanata-san joined in with a retort. Rinka seemed lost in thought and fell silent.

"Right, 'can't tell you'."

Mystia chuckled. It seems my adorable Chita has a secret of his own.

"So, Rinka, did you eventually receive protection from Chita?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah. He gave it to me."

Rinka spends a lot of time with Lavi… the incarnation of Evil. So, I asked Chita for protection for Rinka as a precaution. Rinka didn't like the idea at first, thinking there was no need for "protection," but when Chita said he’d give it to her if she thought it was good after his explanation, Rinka accepted it.

"Now we even take naps together."

"I see."

They seem to have become close without any issues. There are still some problems to solve, but once those are sorted out, it's time to tackle the dungeon.
