It was decided that I would visit Gluttony-san first, and as soon as I finished getting ready, Alice disappeared and Pandora-san returned after disappearing for a short while.[Thank you for waiting, Miyama-sama. I’ve had the Teleportation Inhibition Ward temporarily lifted, so the “entrance” will open shortly.[Entrance?]At the same time as I asked back, a vertical streak of light suddenly appeared in the space of the room, which turned into a shining gate.[It seems that they have elaborated the shape of the entrance to welcome Miyama-sama. I told them not to come here, but to wait in standby, so let’s go.][Y- Yes.]Speaking of which, it was said that she was a master of Space-time Magic, so I guess that means that if I pass through this glowing gate, I will reach the place where Gluttony-san is.When I followed Pandora-san through the glowing gate…… I arrived in a place with incredibly mysterious scenery. A golden bridge-like scaffolding stretched out, surrounded by brightly colored tower-like buildings, creating a spectacular view.[……What is this place?][This is a subspace created by Gluttony. This space was originally a bit more deserted…… but it was probably adjusted to welcome Miyama-sama.] Follow current on novelenglish.net
Apparently, Gluttony-san had adjusted the subspace scenery for me as soon as she got the call from Pandora-san. It was quite a surprise, but at least, I could tell that she welcomed my visit.Walking a little further, looking at the glittering scene and saw an open space, where a figure stands in the middle.A black-haired girl dressed in a Gothic Lolita-style dress made of white fabric and decorated with black roses, with a petite body of less than 130cm and amber eyes, holding a large eye-catching stuffed rabbit on her chest.This girl with the cute but somewhat mysterious atmosphere around her…… Could she be Gluttony-san?[……Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to visit. Miyama Kaito-sama, it’s an honor to meet you.][Ah, yes. Nice to mee———- [Miyama-sama, please wait.] ————Eh?]In response to Gluttony-san, approaching and softly greeting me with a bow, I tried to return the greeting, but somehow, my words were stopped mid-sentence by Pandora-san.When I turned to Pandora-san, wondering why she stopped me, she looked at Gluttony-san with a serious expression on her face and spoke.[……Gluttony, I understand that you hold no ill intentions with your actions. However, Miyama-sama is recognized by Shalltear-sama as her lord, a noble person standing above us. Your first meeting with Miyama-sama…… wouldn’t it make sense for “you to do the talking yourself”?][Eh?]“……I have no words to refute you. Indeed, it is as you say.” Follow current on novel-online.com
[E- Ehhhhh!?]Right after Pandora-san told me, a different voice resounded…… “from the stuffed rabbit that the girl was holding”. And at the same time, I felt magic power from the stuffed toy.I suppose that’s what this means huh. The real Gluttony-san isn’t the girl with black hair……“Put me down, Natasha.”[……Yes. Gluttony-sama.]As if to affirm my prediction, the black-haired girl called Natasha put down the stuffed toy…… Gluttony-san walked up to me, dropped to one knee and bowed its head.“My deepest apologies, Miyama Kaito-sama. As you may have guessed, I am the real Gluttony. I apologize deeply for acting upon my usual habit, trying to deceive other people’s eyes.”[Ah, no, please raise your head. I was just a little surprised and really didn’t mind it that much.]“Thank you for your generosity.”This is, how should I put it…… quite amazing…… Gluttony-san was flooding me with such a tremendous amount of respect and adoration that I was almost taken aback.Unnn, I knew right away. I’m pretty sure Gluttony-san is just like Alice said, one of those people with bugged-out loyalty. Follow current on storynovel.net
“Once again, I am one of the Ten Demons, bearing the name Gluttony. By my side is the one who usually pretends to be me, and her name is Natasha.”[……Nice to meet you.]][Gluttony is a very cautious person, usually mimicking a stuffed toy, and only a few of the Ten Demons know their true identity.]I see. When I first met her, I could only feel Natasha-san’s magic power through Sympathy Magic, so I guess Gluttony-san was trying to keep their magic power from leaking out at all, just like how Zwei-san usually do. This alone conveyed her high level of ability.[Errr, once again, I’m Miyama Kaito. Gluttony-san, thank you very much for helping me in that battle with the God Realm.]“I’m unworthy of your grace.”Perhaps, thanks to Pandora-san’s advance notice, Gluttony-san received my words of thanks with the reverence of a knight only fulfilling their orders, deeply bowing once, before standing up.“Since Miyama Kaito-sama has graciously come to visit us this time, we have prepared a small welcome party for you.”[……Wait, Gluttony, don’t tell me……]“I have prepared some of the finest delicacies in the Three Realms, so if it’s alright with you, I’d like you to try them out.”As soon as Gluttony-san announced this, Natasha-san arrived pushing a huge cart.Are the finest delicacies that she was talking about on that cart? ……That kinda looks like a “grotesque kaiju” though…… I wonder if that’s even safe for humans to eat……Serious-senpai : [As expected of his Flag-retrieving ability……]
