The Strongest Onmyoji and the Shikigami With AI are Unparalleled in Another World ~ A Second Life Properly Enjoyed Using Artificial Intelligence ~ - Chapter 50

When I woke up in the morning, AI-chan, who usually sleeps beside me or wakes up early to wake me up, wasn’t there.

I got up alone and washed my face in the bathroom.

((“Master, are you awake?”))

After finishing washing my face and thinking about changing clothes, I received a telepathic message.

((“I’m awake.”))

((“Um, is it okay to come back to the room? I thought I’d bring breakfast for you and Natalia and the others.”))

((“It’s fine, bring it over. There is no Pamela sleeping naked.”))

((“Oh, I see. Then, I’ll bring it over.”))

What unnecessary consideration.

I finished changing clothes as is and waited. The door opened, and AI-chan came in with breakfast. Alice and Natalia also entered, but Natalia was looking around the room.

“AI-chan, did you stay in Natalia’s room last night?”

Seeing Natalia’s behavior, I asked AI-chan, who had placed breakfast on the table, having understood various things.

“Yes, I stayed over. I thought I might be intruding.”

Even though I said I wouldn’t do such a thing, she doesn’t believe me at all…

“I just went out to eat normally. Natalia, you should sit too.”

“Oh, okay.”

After getting Natalia, who was looking around, to sit down, the four of us started eating breakfast.

“So, Master, what did you talk about with Pamela?”

AI-chan, eating bread, asked.

“Just normal small talk. And about the work ahead.”

“Work? Are we able to resume already?”

“It seems the restrictions on areas other than the Western Forest will be lifted. So, I’ve been asked to go to the Southern Forest or somewhere similar.”

“The Southern Forest… Do you know about it?”

AI-chan confirmed with Natalia and Alice.

“Of course, I know about it. I’ve been there many times.”

“…The Western Forest has weak monsters, but there are many things like medicinal herbs that can be gathered. On the other hand, the monsters in the Southern Forest are strong, but there are good magic stones and materials to be found. It depends on the situation.”

The Western Forest sounds easier…

“The adventurers in the Southern District seem stronger.”

“Actually, yeah. The Western District has more people, but in terms of skill, many adventurers from other districts are stronger.”

I wonder if there was someone from there during the Stampede incident?

Annie seemed to have high magical power, though…

“Hmm… I’m thinking of going to the Southern Forest for a trial around noon today. What do you think?”

“Why not? It’s been a while since we worked.”

“…Yeah, you’re right. I do have some savings, but it’s been 10 days without income.”

Come to think of it, what happened to the reward from the Stampede?

I’ll ask Pamela at the guild.

“Alright, let’s head out after lunch. Get ready in the morning.”

“Got it.”

“…Understood.”

We decided to work in the afternoon, so after finishing breakfast, we prepared in our respective rooms.

As for me, I cut the paper I bought and imbued it with spiritual power to make amulets.

“Master, was there really nothing between you and Pamela yesterday?”

The half-youkai AI-chan asked while wagging her tail.

“There was nothing. Besides, since you were linked to me, you should know.”

“I thought I shouldn’t intrude last night, so I cut it off. Natalia was very curious, saying ‘Connect us, connect us!’ though.”

Natalia…

“Do you think I’m the kind of person who gets women drunk and does whatever? Ridiculous… It would tarnish the name of Kisaragi.”

It’s not something a noble would do.

“Well, I thought you might just go ahead and make her your woman… Pamela seems like she might be up for it though.”

That remark is also disrespectful to Pamela.

“I don’t particularly dislike women, but I’m not really looking to settle down with one right now. In my past life, as the head of the household, it was necessary to have an heir, but it’s not the same now, right? There’s no rush, and these things are better taken slowly.”

“I see… Personally, I want Master to be happy, so I’d like to encourage it.”

Well, I think having a family and children is one aspect of human happiness.

I don’t remember, but in my past life, it seems I was doing that, and I was fond of my grandchildren.

“I’m 20 years old in terms of age, so maybe it’s time to think about it. But, you know, I was 99 years old until recently? Right now, I want to enjoy this young body.”

I don’t get injured even if I run, and I don’t have headaches.

It’s really fun.

“If you’re young, I think it’s more about sexual desire…”

“I’d rather enjoy the other world than that. I feel like a boy now.”

Everything I see is fresh.

The alcohol I drank and the food I ate at the tavern yesterday were also fresh.

“I see… So, is that the plan for the time being?”

“Well, yeah. So, don’t provoke Natalia too much.”

Judging from the atmosphere this morning, you definitely provoked her last night.

“Sure. It might be nice to travel and see the world.”

“Yeah. Well, I’ve never traveled before, so I don’t know what it’s like… But I’d like to at least visit the capital.”

It seems close by, and I want to go buy some rice.

Bread is delicious too, but I feel like having rice once in a while.

“That’s true. Since Natalia and Alice are from the capital, they can guide us.”

They’ll probably go back home at some point, so maybe I’ll ask them to take me there then…

Later, in the afternoon, the four of us had lunch.

Then, after finishing lunch, I called Koma-chan and headed to the guild.

Koma-chan seemed happy, wagging it’s tail, looking like nothing more than a happy dog excited to go for a walk.

Even though it’s a guardian dog…
