The Strongest Onmyoji and the Shikigami With AI are Unparalleled in Another World ~ A Second Life Properly Enjoyed Using Artificial Intelligence ~-Chapter 66 - Its a Little Too Late for That
After finishing the conversation with the district mayor, I left the mansion and returned home to the clan dormitory.
Entering the dormitory, I looked to the side and saw Koma-chan sleeping on the sofa in the common area, which meant that the other three had also returned.
I went back to my room with AI-chan and spent some leisurely time.
“I’ve gotten used to this boredom… A life without doing anything or worrying about anything isn’t so bad.”
“You’ve been working all the time, Master. Let’s just take it easy while doing some casual work.”
It’s like a retired life.
Well, my retired life is already over, and I’m in the second round of my life.
As I was relaxing in my room, by evening, AI-chan left the room to help Natalia.
While I waited alone, I heard a knock on the door.
Hmm?
It’s too early for dinner, and AI-chan doesn’t knock.
“Who is it?”
“It’s me, it’s me.”
Ah, it’s Pamela.
“Come in.”
After giving permission to enter, Pamela came into the room.
“I heard you were going to treat me to fish that isn’t poisonous.”
“I bought it at the market, saying I caught it.”
“Oh, I see…”
“Dinner isn’t ready yet, but well, have a seat.”
Saying that, Pamela took off her shoes and stepped into the room.
Then she sat down across from me.
“Did you meet the district mayor?”
“I did. He was an impressive man. He doesn’t seem to be doing anything shady, and he’s surely sincere.”
“Well…”
Pamela had a complicated expression.
“Sorry, I didn’t know he was your father.”
“It’s okay. I didn’t mention it on purpose, and he’s probably done some bad things anyway.”
I can’t say anything…
“Fair enough. By the way, I invited you to dinner, but is it okay?”
“Well, I’m alone anyway.”
Huh?
“You’re alone? What about your parents?”
“No, I left that house a long time ago and live in the guild dormitory. You dropped me off the other day, remember?”
Now that you mention it, I did drop her off after we went out for dinner because it was late. That was the dormitory, huh?
“I see. I asked your father to pass a message, but that was a mistake.”
“He came to the guild as usual. He had a meeting scheduled with Jeffrey.”
So it was just a coincidence.
“We talked about a lot of things, but it was mostly what I had already told you.”
“Well, it’s to confirm and assess what kind of person you are, Yuuma.”
I wonder what he thought of me?
“Hmm…”
“By the way, I heard you showed him a tiny Big Spider-chan. He said it was cute eating cookies.”
“Want to see it?”
“No, thank you.”
Girls always hate bugs so quickly.
“Poor little Big Spider-chan.”
“It’s just scary. But it can change its size, right? Can AI-chan become a giant too?”
“No, she can’t. She can grow, though.”
“Isn’t an adult woman better?”
She definitely thinks I’m a lecher…
“That’s an avatar of my mother. Absolutely no way.”
I’ve gotten used to her looking like a little girl because her behavior is so different, but I’d hate it if she got bigger.
“I think AI-chan is cute though.”
Of course, she’s cute.
As Pamela and I were talking, the door opened with a click, and AI-chan poked her head in.
“Master, Pamela, dinner is ready. What do you want to do?”
“The common area is fine. Bring it there.”
“Okay.”
After AI-chan answered and left, Pamela and I also left the room and headed to the common area in the entrance.
When we reached the common area and sat down on the sofa, no one else was there.
“Koma-chan isn’t here either.”
“Now that you mention it, she wasn’t here when I arrived.”
That watchdog is probably on the third floor… Most likely with Annie.
“Well, it’s fine. It’ll be back soon enough.”
“Your clan seems fun.”
“There’s too few people though. I still haven’t met about half of them.”
I wonder if I’ll meet them by winter?
As we continued talking and waiting, AI-chan arrived with Natalia and Alice. Shortly after, Lily came with Annie, who was holding Koma-chan, and we started eating dinner.
“Fish, huh…”
Annie muttered while eating the fish.
“It’s not poisonous.”
“I can tell by looking. What’s the story with this?”
“…Caught it.”
Alice lies.
“This is a fish from the sea. You bought it, didn’t you?”
“…I did catch a fish.”
“You caught a poisonous fish and bought this one. Fine fine.”
It was found out immediately.
“Yuuma, how did the talk with the district mayor go?”
Natalia asked.
“It was just an explanation. And I received the reward.”
“How much was it?”
“100 gold coins.”

“Wow! That’s amazing! It feels like a small amount, but it’s a lot of money.”
Well, it is a lot of money. We won’t have any trouble living for a while with this.
“Yeah. Also, I might get summoned by the king.”
“What!? Why!?”
“Goodbye, Yuuma…”
Natalia was surprised, and Lily put her hands together in prayer.
“It’s not like that. Actually, when I came to this world, I encountered orcs attacking a carriage. It wasn’t really me, but Big Spider-chan that saved it. Apparently, the person in the carriage was a princess.”
“Wow! That’s amazing! Wait, you brought that out?”
Natalia looked shocked.
“I immediately realized it was a carriage carrying someone noble, so I brought out Big Spider-chan to avoid getting involved. The royal family heard about the stampede and the rescue of the princess, and now they want to summon me. The district mayor said I might get rewarded for saving the princess and dealing with the stampede.”
“Oh… that’s good then. You might get quite a reward, right?”
Actually, I don’t have high expectations.
Royalty doesn’t usually give out much money.
Instead, they give honorable items.
I’ve received various things, and the treasured sword from a few generations ago is our family heirloom.
“That might be true. Anyway, if a summons order comes, I’ll go to the capital. Do you guys want to come too? The district mayor said he’d provide a carriage.”
“Oh! I’ll go!”
“…I’ll go too. I’ll show you around the capital.”
That would be helpful.
“Thanks. Lily, will you come too?”
“Hmm, I just got back from the capital, but if everyone is going, I’ll go too…”
Oh yeah, Lily had just returned from the capital. But it seems she’ll come along.
“Annie, what about you? We don’t know if anyone will return by then, so you’d be alone.”
“I’ll decide then. If I’m bored, I’ll go too. I want to buy some clothes.”
Sexy clothes. She’s wearing something quite revealing even now.
“Then come along. Depending on the reward, I’ll buy you some.”
“Thanks… I can feel the cultural difference.”
Huh?
((“Clothes are only given to close family members like wives or daughters.”))
I see.
Well, it’s not a big deal.
“Annie, by the way, I went to the southern forest today and ran into Cyrus’ gang.”
“Oh, I heard, I heard. Pat and Rick, right? Cyrus’ small-time henchmen.”
That’s what it felt like.
“The southern forest is off-limits now. So, I’m thinking of going to the eastern ruins. When’s good for you?”
“Anytime is fine. I’ve finished mixing the antidote herbs.”
Annie seems to have no issues.
“Got it. Natalia, you decide when we go.”
I’ve left it to Natalia to decide our breaks.
“How about tomorrow? We worked yesterday and today, but we haven’t done much.”
“I agree!”
“…Me too.”
The three girls seem fine with tomorrow.
“Then, tomorrow it is. Annie, is that okay?”
“Sure. But just so you know, I’m terrible at close combat.”
I can tell just by looking at you. You’ve got a frail-looking body and clothes that offer zero protection in any sense.
“Koma-chan will protect you, so don’t worry.”
“Please do.”
Annie petted Koma-chan’s head.
“Pamela, we’re going to the eastern ruins tomorrow.”
“Got it. Come by the guild just in case. I’ll introduce you to a request.”
“Okay.”
After that, we ate dinner while talking, and when it got late, we dispersed.
Then, I returned to my room, took a bath, and AI-chan and I got into our beds.
“I only ever eat with women.”
“That’s the usual, isn’t it? Aside from your son, there were only women.”
Well, since it’s just my wife and daughters, that makes sense.
…Oh, you mean the number.
In the past, I had 12 wives and daughters.
Now, it’s five and AI-chan.
Hmm… I wonder if Clive and the others will come back?
At this rate, people will really think I’m a lecher.
