Black Iron Magician - Chapter 560 - Return

The door to return home is ready, and Haru and the others can return at any time. Now, it’s time to say goodbye for a while.

「You twoo, please live honestly, correctly, and healthily dezuwaaa~~~!」

「Yes! I will honestly, correctly, and healthily do my best!」

「Therese-san, please don’t cry…. Um, if you like, you can use this handkerchief. I’ll give it to you.」

「Are you sure? I-I will make it my heirloom dezuwaaa!」

Just like that, the people gathered here are saying their goodbyes. Just like last night, Therese is crying hard and she shows no sign of stopping.

「Therese-san is… very sensitive…. But today… I somehow understand that feeling…. Uuuhh….」

「It’s okay, Wee-chan. I’m sure we’ll meet again.」

It seems that Weerel couldn’t endure it either. Her white cheeks are dripping with tears. She’s the mage prime minister who leads many subordinates, but today, she’s just a little girl who cares about her friends. Well, there is no one here who will complain, so just for today, cry as much as you can.

「The farewell hugs of the beautiful girls are a lovely~.Deris, your eyes are those of a parent, y’know?」

「We’ve spent a good amount of time together, so it’s natural to have some affection.」

「Ah~, that means Deris is also a human~. Well, ain’t it fine to be like that once in a while? There is a possibility that Deris will become a real parent after all. So, how’s it with Nell?」

「You….」

I’m perplexed at Alezel who is playing around.

「You’re wrong, Alezel. The one who will bear Goshujin-sama’s child first is this Lilyvia Irygal! I will show my grandchild’s face to Mama on behalf of my pathetic sisters!」

「「「「「「Ha ? 」」」」」」

Uwaah, some troublesome people have come….

「Wow, Lily-chan is so bold. Mama is so embarrassed that steam is coming out of my face~」

「You’re naïve, Lily-shishō! That’s my job! I think I read somewhere that you can get married at my age!」

「That’s Japanese law. In the first place, I have no intention of marrying you guys!」

「Please visit Quitet for all your baby products~」

Ugh! The mood is nice at Haru’s place, but why is it a chaos here!?

「Um, Haruna-san, Chinatsu-san.」

「Ah, Zeta-san!」

「You’re finally going home, huh. I will miss you…. This is a bento that I made after making a lot of improvements. I don’t know if it will suit your taste, but I hope you will enjoy it in the other world.」

Leaving aside the Irygal Sisters +1 who finally started a brawl, Zeta came to give Haru and Chinatsu a bento. It’s not Made in Zex’s solid food, but homemade food. Haru and Chinatsu are also surprised by this.

「I learned about home cooking from the grandma in Snowtail. I’ve learned cooking from many people, but the taste of my hometown seemed to suit me…. It may not be well done and may not taste good, but I want you both to eat my first bento.」

「Your first bento…. Thank you, Zeta-san! I’m really happy!」

Haru received the bento and jumped up and down happily. Chinatsu was also happy, but she didn’t exaggerate it.

「I can tell that you made it with care. Zeta-san, when we come back, please accept my bento in return. I will do my best to make it for you with gratitude.」

「Chinatsu-chan, nice idea! My arms are itching to do it now!」

「Oh, in that case, I’ll make it too desuwa! It’s a good opportunity to show you my cooking, which I have trained at the regional reconstruction outdoor party! OOHOHOHOHO!」

「I will also… participate…. Not only Haruna-san… but I also can cook medicinal cooking….」

It seems that Therese and Weerel, who had recovered, will also participate in the bento party.

「Then, let’s all bring our own bento and celebrate our reunion! It’s a promise, okay?」

「Fufu, the one who promised was Haruna-san and Chinatsu-san, right? But, sure. Let’s make a promise.」

「Yes.」

「Desuwa!」

「Yes….」

What a beautiful thing it is to be close to each other. What a heartwarming scene.

「「「「「「「 Gyaaaaaaah! 」」」」」」」

「Do you want some weapons that work well against vampires~? I also have ones that work well against a succubus~」

Even though the disciples are having a heartwarming scene, why the people here are doing stupid things? Yeah, let’s leave them alone.

――――Creak.

At that time, one of the doors of the skyscraper suddenly opened.

「Phew~, the information manipulation is complete. It’s not good for my waist…! Well, now that I’ve bought unusual souvenirs, I will have tea with them when I get home―― ah, you can come in now.」

The one who appeared from there was Vakala, who was carrying a large number of paper bags in both hands. The paper bags are labeled with 『Souvenir』, and a faint sweet aroma is wafting from them. He had the nerve to go sightseeing while was on it, huh?

”

”

「Both of you, it’s about time.」

「Ah, yes! See you later, everyone!」

「Yes, see you later! Desuwa!」

「I wish you… good luck….」

After saying goodbye to Therese and the others, Haru and the others came this way.

「Master, once again, thank you very much for everything! There are Touko-chan and Gobuo-kun, so the housework will be fine even if I’m gone, right?」

「Were you worried about that? Well, it’s fine. In the first place, there are other servants at Nell’s mansion. Besides, I’ve become a good citizen thanks to you. I even can get up in the morning just fine.」

「Still, Shishō is Shishō after all~. You have to keep it in the future, okay?」

「Are you my mother or what? I told you it’s fine. I promised you to get the ticket after all, so I will do it properly.」

「Haha, I see. Then, I’ll trust you moderately, while still doubting you a little.」

「Don’t compromise there! Good grief, you’re always like that―― right!」

In the middle of the conversation, I suddenly launched a punch at Haru. I didn’t tell her beforehand, and I did it seriously with gravity manipulation magic.

「Hah!」

Even so, Haru responded to my movement with a punch in the same way. The same magic was also applied on her fist. The fists collided head-on and stopped at exactly the same interval.

「…… I have received your encouraging blow!」

「Haha, what a nice positivity. The result is like this even though I caught you off guard. But it will be different the next time we meet. Keep that in mind.」

「Yes!」

I said so and sent Haru off while healing my painful fist. I was about to show it on my face. That was close.

「Hmm, that way to say goodbye is very unlike you, Deris」

「Nell, you, on the hand, parted with Chinatsu peacefully. I thought you would hit her once, just like I just did.」

「…… Well, maybe I was somewhat influenced by Chinatsu.」

「…… I see.」

Haru, Chinatsu, and the classmates who wish to return opened the door. The only thing we can do now is to watch over them.

「Then, Shishō, I’m going to defeat my mother! See you later!」

Haru went through the door in her usual mood, as if she were going to town to buy something. The dazzling light gently enveloped her, and the next moment, it completely covered her. Thus, Haru returned to her world.

「…… I’m looking forward to it, my stupid disciple.」

――――The 100th day of training is over.
