To The sea with the Children (2)
When school was over and Illuna and the others returned home, they saw the adults greeting them with “Welcome Home” while preparing something.
It was a lot of food, and some camping equipment that was usually stored in Yuki’s item box.
Seeing this, Illuna and the others realized something.
“Wow, a barbecue today? Yay!” (Illuna)
“Oh! I’m full of energy!” (Shii)
“…I think I’ll get full of energy after eating. But I understand the feeling.” (Enne)
By the way, the Wraith Girls who go to school with them were not present, as they went to my Demon Lord’s castle after returning home.
However, even if those girls didn’t really eat, Illuna thought that having them around to enjoy the atmosphere of the barbecue would be good, so she made a note to call them later.
Yuki especially loved barbecues, so the Demon King’s family had them at every opportunity, and as a result, Illuna and the others also loved barbecues.
Meat, vegetables, fish. Viva barbecue. There was no greater happiness than being able to eat as much as you wanted of whatever you liked.
“Wow, that looks delicious! Okay, we’ll help with the preparations!” (Illuna)
“Okay, then can you go to the beach and set up some tables and chairs? The usual folding ones. Rir and his family are already waiting over there. Oh, you don’t need to light the fire.” (Yuki)
“Okay, leave it to me! Let’s get ready, everyone.” (Illuna)
“The best thing about a barbecue is the excitement during the preparation until everything is ready!” (Shii)
“…Let’s head to food paradise.” (Enne)
With that, the girls put away their school belongings, then opened the Teleportation Door while carrying tables and other things they had to set up.
They operated the doorknob with practiced hands, changed the connection, and headed for the beach.
They didn’t know where this was, and they only knew the general direction of this location, but it was a place that my family had become familiar with.
The clear, beautiful sea spread out, and the white sand stretched out.
They now considered this place a part of their home, but unlike the grassland area, it was an area closer to the Demon Forest, so unfortunately, the kids were not allowed to come here by themselves.
In fact, being allowed to go there on their own was one of the motivations for Illuna and the others to study magic at school.
Aside from the deep area within the Demon Forest, the girls wanted to be able to freely roam places away from home, like locations outside the forest, without the adults watching over them.
“Rir, Setsu, I’m back! Hello, Mrs. Rir!” (Illuna)
“I’m back and hello too!” (Shii)
“…Let’s have a barbecue together and have fun” (Enne)
Rir and his wife, who had arrived earlier and were checking the state of the monsters in the area, returned the greeting normally, but Setsu was excited to see the girls who always played with her, so she charged towards them.
