Roland naturally had no objections to the arrangements Mirajane made.
In any case, he was planning to give Sode no Shirayuki to Knightwalker tonight, and if possible, he could also complete the mission that had refreshed today.
The Senzu Beans that could bring people back from the brink of death were good stuff.
As the arrangements for the next few days were finalized, Lisanna eagerly pulled Mirajane toward the second-floor bedroom, wanting to properly catch up on the guild's recent situation.
"Brother-in-law, I'm borrowing my sister for a while!"
"Slow down a little, Lisanna..."
As she stepped onto the wooden stairs leading to the second floor, Mirajane subconsciously looked back at Roland and gave him a slightly apologetic smile.
I'll find you later.
She mouthed silently.
"Really, I'm not that petty..." Roland shook his head with a laugh, then stretched vigorously and turned to say, "Let's go. Come with me for a stroll outside."
After all, it wasn't often that he got to visit a parallel world. He had to satisfy his curiosity.
"..."
Knightwalker stood up with a blank expression, holding the strangely shaped Ten Commandments Spear in her hand, and followed slowly behind him.
Stepping out of the guild's main gate, her pineapple-like crimson hair was blown by the wind, revealing her delicate face. Her eyes stared coldly at Roland, who was picking mushrooms.
"Can you eat this one?"
A magnetic voice came from a distance, making her turn her face away in annoyance.
"No."
"Knightwalker, are there people living on these floating islands?"
"..."
All sorts of questions that could be considered common knowledge came one after another, causing veins to pop on Knightwalker's forehead. The corners of her mouth twitched as she suppressed her irritation.
So annoying—
If I weren't no match for him, I would really kill this guy here!
Fortunately, Roland didn't torture her for too long. After finding a floating island with nice scenery, he took Knightwalker and walked up into the air.
His steps were as if he were treading on invisible stairs, approaching the sky step by step.
He's not using a magic item...
Watching this scene, Knightwalker suppressed the shock in her heart, her amber eyes narrowing slightly.
From their first meeting, she had sensed that something was off.
These two were like the Exceed, who were born with magic power in their bodies, able to cast magic without the help of any items.
"Alright, here we are!"
Roland released the arm wrapped around the girl's waist, then took out the Gourmet Tablecloth from the four-dimensional pocket and prepared to enjoy today's lunch.
As for the grilled flying fish from noon, he could only say that even Happy might not eat it!
"Barbecue, soda... oh right, do you like strawberry cake?"
Halfway through his sentence, Roland suddenly paused and turned his head to ask.
"...I do."
She could have kept quiet or said she didn't like it.
But Knightwalker, who had been commanded not to lie, could only force the two words out through her teeth with an ugly expression.
"I see. It seems that even if your personalities are different in the two worlds, the things you like don't change."
Roland nodded in understanding, then ordered three more slices of strawberry cake for her.
Since becoming a slave, Knightwalker hadn't eaten anything, so he might as well order some for her.
Looking at the three strawberry cakes that had appeared out of thin air on the tablecloth, Knightwalker was silent for a moment, then turned her head to the side in disdain.
It was true that she liked it, but that didn't mean she would eat it!
"Not eating? Then how about you finish all three strawberry cakes in half an hour."
Looking at the extremely untruthful Fairy Hunter, Roland unhurriedly snapped his fingers and softly gave the command.
The Slave Contract was no mere decoration.
"Don't go too—mmph!"
Knightwalker had just opened her mouth to protest when her hands, which were out of her control, picked up a slice of strawberry cake and stuffed it into her mouth without another word.
Her words were choked back, leaving only a mortified whimper.
After a leisurely lunch, the two strolled around outside for a while, and time quietly passed into evening.
Three bright moons hung in the black curtain of the sky. The moonlight and starlight intertwined, falling gently like gauze on the deep purple forest.
Inside the guild.
Since the members had made their homes in the treehouse, it was still very lively even late at night, the air filled with excitement and the smell of alcohol.
According to the Edolas Mirajane, after the original world's Mirajane went upstairs with Lisanna, the two of them didn't come out, even for dinner.
They were probably talking about guild matters...
"Let's go. I happen to have a nice gift prepared for you."
After a moment of thought, Roland decided to take Knightwalker back to the bedroom first and teach her how to use Sode no Shirayuki.
"...Hey, are the two of us going to be in the same room tonight?"
Uncontrollably following him up to the second floor, Knightwalker hesitated and couldn't help but ask.
Although a similar thought had crossed her mind after becoming a slave, she hadn't expected it to be so soon.
That disgusting thing—absolutely not!
"Besides me, who else would be in the same room with you?" Roland pushed open the door nonchalantly and continued, "Don't get any funny ideas. I currently have no designs on you."
No designs on me for now...
Knightwalker glanced at him unhappily, instantly understanding the meaning behind his words.
As the door closed, Roland also drew the Zanpakuto from his waist and slowly handed it to her.
"Try it."
"What do you mean?"
Taking the hilt with some hesitation, Knightwalker couldn't help but look confused, not understanding what he wanted her to do.
"Try shouting, 'Dance, Sode no Shirayuki'."
"...Dance, Sode no Shirayuki?"
As her voice fell, Knightwalker's eyes widened in a daze, a look of surprise in their depths.
