<h4>Vol. 1 - Chapter 7.3: Promises (3)</h4>
"W--Wait!! A-All three of them! I will take them in!"
"All three of them?? Hey, Suzuki. If you keep taking in tons of people because you feel sorry for them, won''t your vi be overcrowded?"
"That''s why! I was talking to Nephira about building a human vige in my territory!"
Nephira let out a sigh. It seemed that Suzuki had not given up yet.
(That''s right! Meru and Kiru should chide him too!)
"Suzuki keeps saying that he will build Suzuknd and he''s not listening to me. You guys should say something to him, too."
"Suzuknd, eh?"
.
"What''s that---! That''s weird---!"
"It doesn''t matter what it''s called! It could be advantageous to the Thunder-Lance Charge, too, you know!"
Suzuki was desperately appealing to the Meru-Kiru sisters. The earnestness with which he was trying his best was adorable and cute.
As Nephira stared at Suzuki, Kiru burst outughing.
"<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Ha ha-ha. I understand, I understand. It''s all about that thing, right? You''re going to create a ce where both humans and demons can enjoy themselves, right?" </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "W--Well, I guess it''s something like that." </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> Meru nodded smilingly. </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "Uh-huh, uh-huh---! Sounds like--- fun, ya know---!" </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> (Eh--!? W--What!? You guys!! By any chance, do you agree with him!?) </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> Nephira, inwardly impatient, said to the Meru-Kiru sisters, "You guys. Don''t say something so irresponsible! If a human uprising were to ur in Suzuknd, are you nning to take responsibility?" </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "Oh, ye---ah. Then, in that case, I''ll be keeping a close eye on Suzuknd from now on!" </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "Me too, me too---!" </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> (...Huh?) </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> Then they both smiled at Suzuki. </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "We''re on Suzuki''s side!" </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "Suzuki---! We''ll support you---!!" </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "T--Thank you! Meru, Kiru!" </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> Suzuki''s eyes sparkled with happiness as he grasped the sisters'' hands. The Meru-Kiru sisters also smiled, embarrassed, as they shook Suzuki''s hand. </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> (W--Wait!? To receive a handshake from Suzuki... I''m so jealous!) </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> Nephira then looked at the situation from a broader perspective. This made her look like a stubborn and disagreeable boss who is the only one inflexible. </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "I--I didn''t oppose it for no reason at all! I had to! I had to as a precautionary measure!" </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "It''s fine, it''s fine! Leave it all to us!!" </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "That''s right, that''s right---. We''ll see to it that there is no rebellion or anything like that---." </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "I--I see. Uh-huh. However, if that''s the case, I should probably keep an eye on Suzuknd too." </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "Lady Nephira is very busy so we''ll handle it. It will be fine---!" </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "That''s RIGHT! Since Lady Nephira is themander! We will take care of the rest!" </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> (M--Mean!! Left out!? You intend to have me left out!?) </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> Watching the three of them talking in harmony about the future of Suzuknd, </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "I, too... I, too, definitely, will be going to keep an eyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!" </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> Nephira eximed with tears in her eyes. </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> (Nephira seemed angry, but somehow it all worked out.) </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> Takashi walked around, surveying the vastness of his territory. It had been several days since he had received permission from Nephira to run Suzuknd. </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> Orneo and Exce were in charge of deciding whom and where in the territory everyone should be assigned. He found out that there was a butcher block, which offered even worse treatment than the ve block. The inhabitants of Suzuknd were people brought mainly from that block. </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> At first, they were puzzled, but as soon as they listened to the n, they quickly epted the situation. They started creating their own living spaces by bringing in undamaged furniture from their former homes. </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "This is a list of the current residents of Suzuknd." </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> Orneo, walking next to Suzuki, handed him a bundle of straw papers. The people''s names, gender, and assigned duties were written on the paper. </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> (There are quite a lot of them now, but I need to make sure I know who all of them are.) </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> As Suzuki walked with Orneo, the Meru-Kiru sisters followed a few steps behind. Although they called it "monitoring," Kiru was humming, and Meru was ying with her hair while doing it. </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> A middle-aged woman who was tilling the soil in the field approached Takashi. </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "Lord Suzuki! Good morning!" </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "Uh-huh. Morning." </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "This is Ellie. She''s the one growing grains over there." </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> Then after walking for a while, Orneo pointed to a pond in the distance. </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "That''s Jake over there. He was assigned to take care and manage the fish." </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> (Yes, yes! Now it''s starting to feel more like a vige!) </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> Takashi felt deeply moved. But then he heard a sigh with a "<em ss="chakra-text css-0">fuaa" and looked back at the Meru-Kiru sisters walking behind him. The sisters seemed somewhat dissatisfied. </em></em>
