Chapter 5: Terrible Cleanliness

[Ummmmm, so Pepe? After finally sending the two Astartes, who were both agitated but had completely different causes, to "go and write a draft of the ship's cargo statistics and the import and export trade of grain and products for me first," Ramizane heard the familiar clatter of claws, and he turned sidewaysβ€”

The black and white border collie thoughtfully walked out of the next room.

The body of the fourth primordial only glanced at the dog and then frowned greatly, and stepped over, yes, only then did his movement speed look like a primordial.

[Wait a minute!! Dogs with dirty paws are not allowed in the office now! Your front leg ornament hair on that is! 】

Here we go again, okay. But he had to be done with the procedure before he could speak properly, Perturabo thought, which is one of the disadvantages of having to go out and "travel" a lot these days.

In those random drop-offs, as you move between the wild and the city, it is inevitable that the crevices of the dog's paws and fur will sometimes get mud, dust, dry plants, seeds of some kind of weed, or some other messy object that will hang on the tips of the fur, and the organic matter and any living things in them will be eroded by the flow of time in the transition, and then these things that are usually innocuous and just ordinary stardust, without exception, will inspire Lamizan to have a terrible cleanliness habit about his dog.

Just like nowβ€”

A series of Perturabo-specific products that the Fourth Primordial's body had previously developed in the workshop were taken out: first, a soft, thin layer of fibrous paper soaked in detergent, which was used for the first round of wiping, and was used to carefully remove the annoying spikes of plants that had caught the fibers of his hair.

The King of Stuffed Iron looked at it, and thought that it was a weed belonging to a class of monocots of the grass family, and its long dead seeds were well hooked to the long feathered fur behind the dog's forelimbs, and of course whatever state it was in when it was hooked, after this leap, with a slight force of his hand, it was gone to ashes, and turned into a handful of the most basic dust.

Oh, such a fragile plant can still hold its shape and stay here, the dog thought, this is rare, then it seems that the time distance between this point and "now" is quite close......

After the four paws and pads had been wiped, soft fiber paper soaked in purified water was used to wipe the corners of the dog's eyes, ears, fur and other areas.

While wiping, Ramizane would mutter, "You know, although I am uneasy about the possibility of losing it, on the other hand, I thought about it for a moment and thought that the only thing that would be good in this matter was that you could walk yourself and come back by yourself. 】

[Lamizane, first of all, I am not a dog, and secondly, I am the Lord of Steel, the all-knowing Perturabo, you don't have to worry that I will lose myself. 】

[Okay, okay, of course, please give me your hand, good, thank you, that's it.] Pure water fiber flakes rubbed over the dog's paw joints.

[Wipe it here again at the end...... It's done. A scented powder with a drying function was taken out and thrown into the dog's fur, and the Iron King patiently waited for the other party to complete the process before continuing to move forward.

[Actually, strictly speaking, I won't bring anything living with me when I come back, Lamizan, a brush is enough. 】

[Dogs that can jump off the sofa and go to bed should never be left uncleaned after every outing!] 】

【…… It's good if you're happy. 】

The Royal Caretaker of the Fourth Primordial was content to put away his Perturabo-specific cleaning kit, [Is there anything new this time?] 】

[Indeed, this is a planet with good scenery and life, and it reminds me of some of the planets I have visited...... I found a nest full of dark angels there. 】

Lamizan's face became serious, and he sat up straight. [Dark Angel? The First Legion? Where are they? What are you going to do? 】

[Judging from the fragments of information I've heard and the observation of the starry sky, it should still be on this side of the Great Rift, oh, by the way, they're falling-]

【Wait!】 Is it really okay for you to say the word casually in this place?! 】

[It's okay, trust me.] 】

[Oh, that's okay, please continue.] 】

[I found out that my target this time was a fallen angel veteran, I mean, the kind from 10,000 years ago.] 】

Ramizane whistled, "Those green New Dark Angels' favorite. 】

[Then I followed him and discovered the other three fallen angels that existed in the local area.] 】

[Huh? You're a dog...... Alone? casually followed and found on a planet, four? Fallen angels? Veteran? 】

Perturabo corrected his body again, [It was I, as a primordial, who discovered the clues through exquisite observation and superb skill, and finally found the four lost heirs of Leon El Johnson 10,000 years ago in a complicated situation. 】

[I still think it's incredible, is it so easy for fallen angel veterans to appear? As far as I know, the First Legion is starting to get incredibly scared in order to find a clue that has a little bit to do with the fallen angels, at least I can see jokes about their 'fallen angels' and 'little secrets' everywhere! Oh, maybe some of them I vaguely remember weren't joking. 】

The black and white flower dog sat up straight and cautiously commented, "The current behavior pattern of the heirs of El Johnson is indeed ...... It's a little weird. 】

[Hah! It's not weird! I'll tell you, even so frightening that I could see someone posting some ...... about interrogations.]

[Ahem! Don't let the topic go too far, but I'm going to tell you about it, and my observation is that the time and place of this event should be very close to the point in time and space where we are now. 】

Is this a good thing or a bad thing? 】

[Not sure, but at least everything I've seen this time is normal, I mean, there's no chaos pollution, there's no smell of corruption, and there's no war, it's a city on the edge of the desert, and the name of the first fallen angel who guided me to my landing, and I heard them call him 'Zabriel.' 】

A look of genuine surprise appeared on the face of "Perturabo", and his eyebrows raised, [Wait a minute, suddenly the fallen angel and Zabriel who suddenly appeared like a mushroom in the forest after the rain, I remembered, I know what this place is, Perturabo. 】

[Oh? May it be heard, Ramita. 】

[Hmm...... First of all, I would like to ask, what is your actual relationship with Leon El Johnson, Pepe? 】

[Was it okay to walk through a cannon from him during the Great Rebellion? 】

[Ugh.] Sounds okay, but let me tell you what I know, I happened to have seen a little bit about this incident...... Probably. 】

[Good news, Lamizane, come and talk to me about them.] 】

Wail.

It was so cold that I pinched off the metal doorknob when I opened the door......

This caused a delay for a while......
