84 – The beach where the Milky Way flows (4)
After business was over, Lamia came to Einer.
Unless it’s work-related, Lamia rarely talks to people one-on-one.
But Lamia came to this floor to look for Einer.
What is that monster going to say again this time?
He was clearly complaining about being asked to share a room with Ael, or to be quiet at night, or something like that.
“I decided to cook eggs today.”
“What, what?!”
But what came out of Lamia’s mouth was even more shocking than that.
“Cooking eggs?! Are you talking about those eggs?!”
“Yes, that’s right. I think it’s an unfertilized egg.”
“Really? But is it okay to eat it like that…?”

“It’s not dirty.”
“No no no. That’s not what I meant.”
Aner waved both her hands in fear that Lamia might misunderstand.
“It’s not that it’s dirty. It’s something you cherished very much.”
“That’s when you think of it as a fertilized egg. An unfertilized egg is nothing more or less than a large egg.”
“I see… But why today…?”
“I still have Kira and Toby. The eggs are so big that three of us can’t eat them. There must be five of us. However, even though they are unfertilized eggs, I don’t want to let just anyone eat them. If possible, I should eat them with my family and close friends. .”
“Family?”
“Yes, family. Master and Ael are my family. We live happily in the same house.”
Lamia did not show much emotion and spoke calmly.
It’s called family. That’s correct.
“hahahaha. You’re right. So how are you going to cook it?”
“I’m thinking about making a spinach frittata. It’s simple stuff that won’t take long, so eat and sleep.”
“Okay. Then let’s eat on the rooftop.”
“On the rooftop?”
“Yes. You told me about the last time you went to Berabce, right? The rooftop cafe. I really liked it back then.”
“Okay, then I’ll tell the others.”
As Lamia went down to the first floor, Einer went out to the rooftop.
On the rooftop, there was a table that Einer, Ael, and Lamia often used to drink while enjoying the fresh air.
As I was lighting the candle on the table, Toby, who had heard Lamia’s story, came up with two chairs.
“Captain. The back of my head still hurts.”
Toby said jokingly as he put down the chair, and Einer chuckled.
“Who would do such a stupid thing? I’m so frustrated.”
Then Toby stared at Einer without saying anything.
“What, you bastard?”
“It’s nothing.”
“So everything is okay with Kira now?”
“Yes. I’m not sure if I should thank you because the method was so extreme, but it worked out well.”
“I’m glad. I was scared that one of you might commit suicide.”
Toby chuckled at those words.
“But the leader also has good news.”
“Did you hear?”
“Yes. You are marrying Ael. Is that correct?”
“I decided to do that.”
Toby tapped Einer on the shoulder.
“You thought well. Is there anywhere else in the world like Ael? Congratulations.”
“Thank you.”
“For now, only Kira-senpai and I will know this fact. There is nothing good about spreading rumors to the security team in advance.”
“It’s already spread.”
“Yes?”
When Einer told Toby about the fight he and Malia had had in the morning, with both swearing and swearing at each other, Toby clicked his tongue.
“That empty-headed b*tch ended up having an accident. I was wondering if you could fix that messy hair sometime.”
“I don’t know. If a security guard was the kind of person who would change his mind just because he cursed in his face, wouldn’t he have done it in the first place?”
“That’s right. All wizards are like that.”
“You b*tch. Do you remember the last time? When you opened a portal to board an illegal ship?”
“I remember. I took the wrong coordinates and drilled an exit above the sea, so we all fell in. You b*tch.”
Ainor and Toby stood side by side on the railing and looked at the sea off Daham while being scolded by the rude apprentice wizard Malia.
The beach of the uninhabited island was still shining blue.
“But why is it shining like that? Is it magic?”
Toby pointed to the beach.
“It’s not magic, but the sailors say it’s a bug that lives in the water over there? It glows when touched. Did you say it’s a glow-in-the-dark bug?”
“Oh, it’s fascinating.”
Meanwhile, the rooftop door opened and Ael and Lamia came out carrying plates of food.
Kira followed suit, holding several bottles of wine.
“Toby.”
Kira called out to Toby, her voice sounding very nasal.
“It’s heavy.”
“Give it to me.”
Toby jumped up and snatched the wine bottle from Kira’s hand.
Damn, how heavy is that?
During combat stamina training, you can lift logs very quickly.
Einer smiled and sat down at the table.
Let’s see.
Fluffy steamed egg custard, smooth egg rolls, and even a frittata made with stir-fried spinach.
The eggs were so large that five people could easily eat them.
The five people who filled the wine cups clinked their glasses to make a toast and sampled the Lamia eggs.
“Wow! This is so delicious?!”
Toby’s eyes widened and he shouted.
“That’s right. I never thought it would be like this.”
Kira was also amazed and played hard with the fork.
Even though Lamia watched people enjoying her egg dish, she ate quietly without feeling particularly happy.
The meal on the rooftop was very good.
A gentle breeze blowing unique to the Southern Ocean, the Milky Way in the sky, mouth-watering food, quality wine, and the sound of people talking under the light of a cozy candlestick.
Einer’s idea was that the rooftop should always be open.
In that case, we need to hire one more permanent employee to serve up to the rooftop.
While I was thinking about this and that, I suddenly felt some gaze and raised my head.
Isn’t Ael staring at herself in fascination while holding her fork?
“Ael?”
“Eh… hehehe…”
As Ael laughed like an idiot, Lamia poked Ael’s cheek with her finger.
“Come to your senses.”
“Oh? Ah.”
Kira and Toby burst into laughter at that sight.
As there were three security guards, the topic mainly revolved around all kinds of strange incidents occurring in the security forces.
Because it is within earshot of almost all long-distance ships on the continent, a lot of crazy things happen.
So, each story was very interesting, and Ael and Lamia listened to their stories without holding their breath.
Once the atmosphere calmed down a bit, Kira asked various questions about Lamia.
She is usually very silent and her expression doesn’t change, so neither Ael nor Einer know how Lamia has been living, what she thinks, or what she likes.
Lamia answered Kira’s barrage of questions briefly.
His first birthplace was in the jungle near Kakot, the northern city of Daham.
She stayed with her mother for several years, but when she was able to live on her own, she became independent.
Afterwards, she lives like a normal monster, hunting small animals in her own territory, and produces her as*xual reproduction.
Then suddenly, a mineral vein was discovered not far from Lamia’s territory, and humans began developing it on a large scale.
As a result, all the monsters there were driven out, and during the chaos, Al was taken hostage by a group of goblins.
From now on, it is as Einer and the security guards know.
Kira clicked her tongue.
“You too have an unfortunate fate.”
“Not really. I don’t think much of it. All monsters live that way.”
“Then do you have any likes or hobbies?”
“Nothing. If I had to, I would sometimes go to the rooftop during the day and expose my body to sunlight. My lower body is a snake, so my body temperature is not constant. That’s why I like to be exposed to sunlight.”
“So, is it okay to work here? I heard from the manager that you don’t get paid?”
“It’s a monster, so you don’t need money. All you need is a space to keep the eggs safe.”
Ael asked with some hesitation.
“I don’t even have any eggs anymore… Maybe someday…”
“I’m not leaving. Ael and the master are my family now. Of course, if they get married and my presence becomes uncomfortable, then I’ll leave.”
“No!” “Do not do that!”
Ael and Einor shouted at the same time.
“Why do you think we make you uncomfortable?”
“That’s right! Lamia, you must stay here until you die!”
Lamia tilted her head slightly at Ael’s somewhat harsh expression.
“Is that so? We’ll have to be together for at least another 60 years until we die.”
“Huh? You live that long?”
Kira was startled and Lamia nodded her head.
“We live similar to humans.”
“It went really well! Then we can live together forever!”
As Ael clapped her hands, Lamia slowly nodded her head.
“I will do it if you two will do it.”
A very faint smile appeared on Lamia’s lips.
She was a Lamia who never smiled, so Einer and Ael were able to notice that small change right away.
Ael thought while looking at Lamia’s smile.
I am so, so, so happy that I feel like I might die.
The Demon King’s army had fallen and people were being sold as slaves.
Everything turned upside down in an instant, and now I’m smiling like this.
As expected, my master is the unexpected luck of my life.
Ael, who was in a great mood, ran to the first floor and shook the cantavera pot.
“Hey! Wake up!”
“Ah, why! What is it?!”
After confirming that Cantavera had woken up, Ael took it and went up to the rooftop again.
“Sing a song! Quickly! Sing a happy song! Get in the mood!”
Ael harshly urged Cantavera.
“Why me?! Let’s get some sleep!”
“Huh?! You say that?!”
Kira and Toby were scared and fell back on their chairs.
For them, the terrible nightmare from before on Deser’s galley still remains.
I fainted at the extremely dark and gloomy song of Cantavera that came from the cargo hold of the galley.
“What kind of sleep is a flower? If I don’t sing, will they throw lemon juice on me?”
“Keeek!”
Cantavera was horrified by Ael’s threats and shook her flower buds.
“Do you want to sing a song or drink plenty of lemon juice?”
“I will sing!”
Einer applauded in admiration after seeing Ael skillfully handling the cantavera that had eaten the foliage for photosynthesis.
Cantavera cleared his throat a few times and began to sing.

In the city where the sea and stars meet
Security guards protect the dream
Under the lights of a cozy restaurant
Our story unfolds
In a restaurant full of singing
The demon slave smiles
In the half-human and half-reflective eyes
Full of warm love
When the sea calls us
The security guards ran bravely
Cutting the wind under the starlight
Wave the flag for peace
A story that started in a cozy restaurant
Between sweet wine and a hidden smile
Starlight flows in the eyes of demons and monsters
Sing the endless courage of security guards
