Yukari's answer made Yuto nod lightly.
He had seen how recklessly those girls drank today.
With Suika wandering around and pushing drinks on everyone, it would have been strange if they had not gotten drunk.
"Kamisaka!"
At that moment, the princess looked at Yuto with burning eyes.
That made Yuto a little confused.
"What is it, Kaguya?"
Every time Yuto said the name Kaguya, he would always think of another Kaguya.
It made him subconsciously compare them.
Honestly speaking, the Kaguya in front of him—the princess of the moon—was more beautiful.
However, the other Kaguya also had her own unique aura, and that made her extremely attractive in a different way.
"You have a VR headset too, right?"
Princess Kaguya looked at Yuto with expectation.
The moment she asked that, Yuto immediately understood what she wanted.
He could not help glancing at Eirin beside her.
The Moon Sage merely sighed softly and gave no other reaction.
Yuto could not help smiling a little.
He could see the helplessness in her expression.
"Mm." Yuto nodded.
The princess's face instantly bloomed into a smile, like the most beautiful flower in the world opening its petals.
Unfortunately, the words she spoke next gave that beauty a small discount.
"Can you let me play with it?"
The noble moon princess looked at Yuto pitifully, like a child pleading for a toy.
Her eyes, as beautiful and alluring as the night itself, shimmered faintly with light, making her incredibly moving.
She truly was the most outstandingly beautiful girl Yuto had ever seen.
Like a jewel in the night, even the darkness around her could not stop her from shining.
With that expression on her face, almost no man could refuse her.
It was an expression she had trained over many years of acting spoiled with Eirin.
Usually, it worked very well!
Yagokoro Eirin was speechless when she saw her princess acting like this.
"Shouldn't you ask Eirin first?" Yuto said.
His heart had trembled slightly too, but he soon regained his composure.
Kaguya immediately grabbed Eirin's sleeve and leaned against her like a spoiled cat.
"Eirin~~~ Please~~~"
Although she had been furious earlier because Eirin had confiscated so many of her games and novels, now that a VR game was right in front of her, Her Highness decided to throw away all her dignity for the moment!
After hearing Ainz and Rimuru describe VR games one line after another, she truly could not hold herself back anymore.
Dignity?
Could that thing let her play VR games?
If it could not, then it was useless!
Throw it away, throw it away, throw it all away~~~
"Sigh..." Eirin merely sighed.
Kaguya's eyes lit up.
She understood!
A sigh meant silent approval!
In other words, Eirin had agreed!
"Hehehe... Kamisaka~~~"
After settling things with Eirin, Kaguya immediately continued acting spoiled toward Yuto.
Yuto could not help but smile.
"Go ahead."
His own desire to play games was not that strong.
After getting this headset, he had not even tried it yet. If Kaguya had not asked to borrow it, he might have forgotten about the headset entirely.
"Ohohoho~~ Now, I shall begin my first VR gaming experience!"
Princess Kaguya held the headset with the expression of someone finally fulfilling a long-held obsession.
The excitement on her face had already reached its peak.
And with that, the image of a noble princess completely collapsed.
Once the headset was on, nothing else mattered.
As the princess wandered through the virtual world, she would occasionally let out "hehehe" laughs.
No one knew what exactly she was seeing.
In any case, that laughter always made people think of... A pervert.
"I'm terribly sorry."
Eirin bent slightly beside him, apologizing to Yuto with a wry smile.
"It's fine."
Yuto waved his hand. He did not care at all about Kaguya's current image or her laughter.
After all, there were already plenty of strange people and strange things in the restaurant.
He was used to it. ╮(╯▽╰)╭
Only Erina and Hisako looked as if they were beginning to doubt reality.
The two girls found it very hard to believe!
When she entered the restaurant, she had clearly been such a noble princess...
So how had she become...
This?
This was absurd!
...
After finishing her meal, Utaha did not stay in the restaurant for long.
Although she had said that eight o'clock was the latest she could remain there, the girl was still clearly a little intimidated.
It seemed she was still afraid of her parents' authority, so she soon stood up, said goodbye to Yuto, and prepared to leave.
"You're leaving this early today?"
Yuto could not help asking in confusion.
Utaha sighed helplessly.
"I don't have much of a choice. If I go home late, I'll just get lectured again."
The way she spread her hands and sighed made Yuto smile despite himself.
"Yuto-kun, has anyone ever told you that the way you enjoy other people's misfortune is really irritating?"
Utaha crossed her arms, her sharp eyes glaring at him while irritation tugged at the corners of her mouth.
"Sorry, no one has."
Yuto showed no intention of restraining himself.
Instead, his expression became even more obviously teasing and amused as he looked at the girl.
Utaha snorted and left him with only the back of her head before walking straight out.
Yuto smiled and shook his head without saying anything else.
'Daily teasing achievement, complete!'
"Ainz, has the Great Tomb of Nazarick been repaired yet?"
Yuto looked toward Ainz.
At this moment, the old skeleton was staring blankly at Rimuru and Princess Kaguya, both of whom were wearing headsets and playing games.
Although his expression could not be read, the dim red lights in his eye sockets were enough to guess that his mood was not very good right now.
He wanted to play too!
Hearing Yuto's words, Ainz withdrew his envious gaze.
He sighed softly, and his whole body seemed to radiate helplessness.
"The Great Tomb of Nazarick itself can be restored with gold, but the surrounding surface was destroyed too severely. Mare has been working on it, but even now, only about half of it has been repaired."
Ainz's words carried a faint heaviness and resentment.
Yuto listened and nodded slightly.
Although he had not been at the scene last night, based on that short recording and the later explanations from Ainz and the others, he could roughly imagine what the battlefield must have looked like afterward.
"Did anything else happen after last night?" Yuto asked again.
Since the battle between Saitama and Son Goku had been so earth-shaking, it would inevitably have attracted other people's attention and drawn scouts to investigate.
For Nazarick, that was not a good thing.
"A group of scouts came, but they were all kept there. For now, the Great Tomb of Nazarick has no major problems. Once Mare finishes repairing the surrounding surface, we can simply cover it up with magic."
Ainz rubbed his finger bones lightly against his jaw.
At this moment, he really did have a bit of that behind-the-scenes final boss aura.
Yuto understood.
He had met Mare the last time he visited Nazarick.
The other party was indeed a very capable magic caster.
It was just that his appearance was... far too misleading.
Yuto really had not been able to tell that Mare was male.
As expected of the elf race!
A natural-born crossdressing expert!
Just as Yuto was about to say something else, the restaurant door was pulled open once again.
The period from evening to midnight had always been the busiest time for the restaurant.
Yuto looked toward the entrance.
Standing there were Gilgamesh and Enkidu, with Siduri following behind them.
"Welcome."
Yuto smiled and nodded lightly to the three of them.
The proud king casually waved his hand and spoke directly.
"Kamisaka, hurry and prepare a dish for this king."
It seemed the Hero King was truly hungry today!
His lack of concern for etiquette made both Siduri and Enkidu smile helplessly at Yuto.
"Good evening, Kamisaka-kun."
Compared to Gilgamesh, his best friend was much more polite.
Siduri also bowed slightly and greeted Yuto.
"Mm. Good evening."
Yuto smiled at the two of them.
The three then sat down by the counter.
As always, the Hero King wore that revealing outfit with a strong Mesopotamian style, while Enkidu was still dressed in a simple white robe.
"Then, King of Hero, what would you like to eat?"
Yuto asked Gilgamesh with a hint of teasing in his voice.
"Bring this king a serving of grilled meat at once! I handled far too many official duties today, and my body is extremely hungry. The food must be prepared quickly."
Gilgamesh's face carried a touch of pride and self-satisfaction.
The reason he said it like that was simply because he wanted to show off his diligence as a king.
Unfortunately, no one responded to that little display.
Enkidu and Siduri merely smiled softly, and even Yuto only nodded faintly.
That made Gilgamesh feel a little awkward.
"What about you, Enkidu, Siduri?"
Yuto turned toward Enkidu and Siduri.
Enkidu smiled calmly.
"I don't need anything."
Under a certain Hero King's "half-coercion, half-request," Enkidu had signed a contract with him, and Gilgamesh's magical energy now served as his food.
Because of that, even after being busy for an entire day, Enkidu remained perfectly normal.
"Could I have clear-broth noodles again?"
Siduri raised her hand slightly as she asked.
A soft smile rested on her beautiful face, giving her a naturally approachable air.
She felt like a gentle, considerate older sister.
"Of course."
Yuto nodded.
After remembering what Gilgamesh and Siduri wanted, he walked into the kitchen.
The moment he entered, he was met with curious looks from Erina and Hisako.
"What is it?" Yuto asked.
"Is that person some kind of king?"
So the two girls were curious about Gilgamesh's identity.
Just now, whether it was Yuto or Gilgamesh, both of them had mentioned the word "king" in their conversation.
Naturally, that made the two girls, who were at an age where curiosity was at its strongest, very interested in Gilgamesh's identity.
"Mm, yes. Speaking of which... you've probably heard his name before."
Yuto's words made the two girls blink.
Now they were even more curious.
A king whose name both of them knew... Who could it be?
"Gilgamesh. Have you heard that name?"
The moment Yuto said the Hero King's name, the two girls froze.
"Eh?! You mean that king of Sumerian?"
Hisako was shocked.
"Mm. Also, the one beside him is Enkidu."
The two girls looked at each other, and both could see the shock in the other's heart.
"He's... completely different from the image described in books."
Erina looked a little conflicted as she spoke.
As the daughter of a prestigious family, she naturally had a great deal of basic historical knowledge.
"Don't worry about that too much. Hurry up and cook! Nakiri, you handle Gilgamesh's grilled meat. I'll make the noodles."
Yuto smiled somewhat helplessly, then assigned the tasks.
The two girls immediately became serious.
The kitchen quickly grew busy.
