“Whoa, what’s that?”

The fatigue made Maou waver a bit as he pointed at something in the corner of the room. Libicocco, perhaps expecting the question, gave him a baffled look as he pointed at the wall separating them from Room 202.

“Huh? She brought it over here? And then just left it?”

They couldn’t be blamed for their confusion. When Libicocco made it back home, he found that Room 201 now had what looked like a bladeless electric fan in the corner.

“Looks like it, my liege.”

“What’s her deal? I wanna ask, but I doubt she’s awake now. Her light’s out. When did you make it back home?”

“A little past eleven, I think. I stopped by the bathhouse.”

“Huh? Don’t you get off at ten? Did you go somewhere else?”

“Oh, umm…” Libicocco paused for a moment. “I…ran into Chiho Sasaki on the way.”

“Chi?”

“Yes. And, well, given how things were, I took her back home.”

“…Oh. Well, thank you.”

Libicocco sounded hesitant, but Maou, for his part, felt it best to avoid actively discussing Chiho as well for now. Apart from a few words of encouragement, he didn’t ask for any more details.

“It’s still a bit early, but maybe it was hot in here? That was mean of us. We never gave her a key, so she must’ve not been able to leave the building.”

“…No, she said she went shopping and visited the landlord like normal.”

“She did?”

Maou found himself poking at Suzuno, unavailable to defend herself, even though he knew it was pretty well impossible for any burglar to target his apartment. There wasn’t anything worth stealing in the first place, either.

“Hmm? So, again, why did she leave this here? And what about this?”

The fan wasn’t the only new member of the family.

“This has to be Suzuno’s. What could she be doing?”

On top of the refrigerator was perched a small stand mixer. They didn’t need any confirmation to know it didn’t belong to Room 201, so Suzuno must’ve brought it in for some reason.

“Ah, well. We can ask her tomorrow…and if Suzuno went to bed without contacting me, things must be chill with Acieth for now. I’m beat, so I wanna get some sleep. I’ll put down a futon.”

“My liege, you start work tomorrow morning with me as well, don’t you?”

“No, I begged Ms. Iwaki to change me to the afternoon. Luckily, I guess they were able to work it out with another location. I’m worried about Acieth, so…”

“Bell said she went over to cook or something crazy like that, but what happened anyway?”

“I don’t really know myself…but I think it’s a sign of something bad comin’ our way.”

Acieth’s illness simply amplified existing anxieties about the battle against heaven. Acieth had proven to be well-on unstoppable against the space-suited figure. In Heavensky, and at Sasahata North High, she had saved Maou’s hide on several occasions. He didn’t want to totally rely on her, but Acieth, just like Alas Ramus, was a Sephirah child who needed rescue. He didn’t want her to set out for the final battle while sick with…whatever this was.
