"Are you back? This time it seems a little late. ”

Yama-sama, who was sitting on the chair, said reproachful words in her mouth, but there was not the slightest hint of blame on her face, which was a common thing. According to Hades, she didn't want the four machine spirits she had been seeing to become machines that only obeyed orders, but wanted to talk to them as friends in her spare time.

When my sisters heard Hades's words, they seemed to react well. Although Sister Folding Pen doesn't show much true feelings, she looks like she is smiling, and kneading the paper is so excited that she almost cried on the spot.

For me, I can't find a reason to be upset. Hades has barely left her residence, in other words, the only "living creatures" she has seen are me and my sisters. I should be happy about her words, but I can only think about it, but I can't do it.

It's a strange feeling, I want to express my respect for Hades as straightforwardly as I do when I knead paper, and I am willing to express my determination with a perfect job like a pen editor, but I can't do any of this. It seems that I have always been ordered to urge my life, and then hand over the soul I received to Lord Hades. Could it be that it's because of the work I've been doing?

Just like black and white impermanence, it has become a pair of "ghosts" that only linger behind people who have reached the end of their lives. Perhaps Lord Hades asked me to go around the world as an "ordinary person" to treat this "strange disease".

That's why I love Hades, but I can't say it.

"This is the soul of the villain from before, and I have brought it."

I stretched out my hand, and the disgusting soul in my palm, though at first trying to flee in the opposite direction, quickly fell into the account book in front of Hades. It was the temporary residence of the deceased, and soon they would soon receive the most just verdict one by one.

"Fortunately, the soul of such a wicked person must feel uncomfortable to hold. I'll have something else for you next time. ”

Hades said and turned around, obviously she was sitting, but the chair actually turned with her rotation, so Hades is a lord I don't understand too much.

Although she had hardly been to this world, she had obtained many, many things in what she called "keeping up with the times" in strange ways that I did not know, and it seemed to me that Hades had unconsciously undergone a great transformation, as if following the gradual changes of the times in my eyes.

This is probably something I have a hard time doing, because I am the most frequent of the four sisters, but I am completely unable to understand the new things brought about by this rapidly changing era. Recently, even Hades-sama has begun to wonder why my wording hasn't changed, and nothing like this has happened before.

"What do you mean by urgency?"

Some anxiety drove me to ask the first question, and although it was only a little extravagant, I still expected that the urgent order given to me by Lord Hades would not be a trouble. In that case, you can still meet the human after it is resolved quickly, after all, it is better to be late than absent.

"If it's urgent, then ......"

"Splash ink, you seem to be in a bit of a hurry?"

Lord Hades asked rhetorically, and it seemed that my mood was so anxious at the moment that I even changed my tone.

"If there's anything you want to do, can you do it first?"

Of course, there are things I want to do, but ......

I'm just a machine spirit now, and Hades has an urgent order.

“…… Not really. ”

I lowered my head because I knew my face must be very distorted.

"Splash ink."

“！！”

"Tell me about your private affairs."

"Yes."

I can't argue, or simply don't hide my courage again. Such a serious Hades is terrifying, even if she must be concerned about me, but it is also terrifying.

"From this afternoon to the next morning, I have made a pact with a human being."

"Huh? That's not bad. Lord Hades looked a little surprised, "By the way, is it a man or a woman?" ”

"Woman, named Yun ......"

"Okay, as long as it's not a man." Lord Hades smiled happily, "Otherwise, I'll have to worry about my cute little splash ink being abducted by a liar." ”

…… Scammers? I will not leave Hades' side, because even if I do, I will never be able to "survive" on my own. I'm afraid that Hades's side is reserved for me, the last piece of land that exists to urge my life.

"Go ahead, go ahead, as for any emergency, it's not too late to come back and do it when you're done." Lord Hades waved at me as he spoke, probably driving me away, "You can listen to me and become an 'ordinary person' for the time being, it's good, really." ”

"Lord, You ......"

"If you want to go, what's wrong with you today, it's really not like you used to be." Lord Hades said and stood up, it seemed that she had no intention of staying here anymore, "It's not a newly married bride, look at your slow appearance......"

Gone, Lord Hades. And I didn't even do anything, and I got the most desired result from Lord Hades. It was true that I was looking forward to traveling with that human, but the sudden cancellation of my work made me feel a little panicked for some reason.

I'm not supposed to be a workaholic, why...... Would you think so?

I stood still, and to be honest, even though Lord Hades gave me such a direct "order", I still felt hesitant. As if seeing my confusion, Sister Folding Pen walked quickly towards me from the direction where Lord Hades had just left.

"What's wrong? It's obviously an agreement that makes you seem so anxious, why are you still hesitating now? ”

"No, it's just that I want to...... It's better to complete the emergency first. ”

I don't know, I don't know at all, I want to go on a trip with that human, but I want to complete the mission that Hades gave me earlier. What the hell is wrong with me......

"There are priorities in work, and since the Lord doesn't ask for it, it must be a task that can be graced, so you don't need to care."

Sister Folding Pen pressed her hand on my head, which was very comfortable......

"I remember that the way of life in the world says that to be a man is to be true to one's word. Since the things decided by the Lord will not change, even if you go to beg her now, she will not tell the task. So instead of wasting time here and breaking your promise, it is better to quickly put down your mind and fulfill the agreement. ”

“……”

"The Lord is right, you have to spend a while like an 'ordinary person' once in a while, don't you?"
