Chapter 68
... Something Looks
Strangely Shiny Over There, Doesn't It?

"Ah, eh~~~nya,
kora~~~eh~~~nya, kora~~~~~~!"
Life is fun. Hei-ho! I
danced with gusto. This was my one and only stage. Just kidding.
Several days had
passed since meeting Veda and learning about the Saint's current situation
through the Mirror of Foresight. Veda had apparently reported everything to the
Head Tower immediately after that and had asked for confirmation on whether it
was okay to send a message to Cloudy Country, something along the lines of,
"Hey, Cloudy Country, we've heard rumors over here that your Saint is a
bit... you know? Are you alright? And seriously, you summoned a Saint? Share
the info! (pouty-face)," in a more subtle way.
The Head Tower's
reply, while lying sprawled on a sofa, was apparently something like,
"Yeah, whatever." The "lying sprawled on a sofa" part was
my imagination, but based on my game knowledge, that was roughly the image I
had. This tower was built on Veda's seriousness and the Head Tower's unseriousness.
And as for my current
state...
Cleaning~~ that is~~
our~~ pride~~
Happiness~~
The joy~~ of
living~~...
Jan! Ichi and the
others repeated their performance, spinning around and striking a final pose.
Hyuu-hyuu! It was a shame that I was the only audience member. Ichi and the
others' forms were always concealed with my illusion skill. If I could, I'd
love to whistle for them, but unfortunately, all that came out of my mouth was
a strange fuhi-fuhi breath. Sorry for being so bad at it.
Now, surprisingly,
while Ichi and the others were singing, dancing, performing, and doing water
tricks, the hallway had become astonishingly sparkling clean. They pretended to
do water tricks while spraying water on the hallway, pretended to dance while
spinning around and using their bodies as rags, and pretended to sing while
sucking up the remaining water and drying it to a shine. That was the work of
professionals.
"...Huh? That
spot over there, isn't it strangely sparkling?"
"It's glowing.
That's weird, it wasn't that shiny before, was it?"
"It's... it's
shining, right? Shining, aaahh, my eyes...!!"
Jan!
While gathering the
gazes of the black-robed students who were wondering who that person was, what
I was actually doing was meaninglessly swinging a mop around and making the
surroundings wet. No, I personally intended to be seriously doing
"enya-kora," but Ichi and the others were too professional and too
fast, I couldn't even keep up. That's strange, I should be Cleaning Lv. 3...
Feeling somewhat
empty, I looked around the cleaned hallway and put my hands on my hips with a
"heh!" Ichi and the others also struck poses around me. The birth of
the cleaning squadron, Suraeranger! Just kidding.
Since then, we had
been borrowing a room in the tower, sleeping soundly, and even though staying
up late should have made my skin look bad... surprisingly, it was still plump
and glowing thanks to my overflowing beautiful girl aura. While being grateful
for Eldorado's beautiful visual settings, I met with Veda again the next
morning. He promised that since he had received permission to send the letter,
he was preparing it immediately and would let me know as soon as he received a
reply. I was grateful because I had been a little worried.
Veda had told me that
there were spare rooms in the tower and we could use them as they were, which I
gratefully accepted. However, it didn't feel right to use them for free, so
what I proposed was the Suraeranger. I just liked the sound of it, so I used
it, it didn't have any deep meaning. All of the tower, become sparkling clean
before us!
A day passed, then
two, then three, and Ichi and the others were turning the inside of the tower
sparkling clean at an astonishing speed. After they passed by, many students
screamed and their black robes fluttered in the mischievous wind.
But since all that was
actually visible was me, walking around with a mop, peto-peto, people were
wondering, "Who is that...?" "The incarnation of sparkling
cleanliness! A terrifying child...!" "Did she just... end everything
with a single swing of the mop!?" I was getting a lot of attention.
The culprit, or
rather, the culprit-slime, was Ichi and the others, who knew no restraint. In
the beginning, I had been shouting, "Whoa, calm down a bit, come here!?
Hey hey hey!!!" but they had been enduring not cleaning indoors for the
entire journey. If you say endure, we will endure, we will do our best, sorry
for getting a little happy, and then they looked dejected, their bodies
slightly drooping, taking on a strange historical drama style, which was quite
pitiful, and I groaned, "Maybe... they don't need to endure it?"
The serious Ichi and
the others, the Magic Tower becoming beautifully sparkling clean, and the
suspicious mysterious child, me. In other words, if I was the only one being
suspicious, wouldn't that solve everything...? And so, the
"enya-kora" dance from the beginning. If I was going to be
suspicious, I danced to be as suspicious as possible. I had the permission slip
Veda gave me properly pinned to my chest. No matter how suspicious I looked, it
was endorsed by the Vice-Tower Master, so I could be confident. Like this, with
my chest puffed out.
"Doya! Doya!
Doyaaaaa!"
"...El, calm
down."
"Hih, Lotus, stop
standing behind me without making a sound, okay!?"
The one who put a stop
to my antics was Lotus himself. He looked the same as always, but he also had a
permission slip pinned to his chest. While having his hand placed on my head,
telling me to calm down from whatever smugness I was displaying, I was about to
explain that I wasn't just making strange movements for no reason, but was
sacrificing myself for Ichi and the others' stress relief. But when I opened my
mouth and said, "Ah," one of the students who was passing by looked
at Lotus and pointed at him.
"It's the
instructor! Good work!"
