Chapter 68: Solomon’s Day Off and Cain’s Schemes

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

The meeting had finally wrapped up, and on her long-awaited day off, Solomon was in her room in front of the mirror. She was picking out dresses happily—this one, no, that one—when a knock sounded at the door.

“Hey, hey, Young Lady. You got a minute? I picked up something tasty at the market. Let’s eat it together!”

“Yes, you may open it. I just happened to have something I wanted to discuss with you too.”

“Then, pardon my intrusion…Wait a second!! Why are you in your underwear!? I did knock, didn’t I!?”

Amon hastily shut the door again while Solomon tilted her head with a blank look on her face. She didn’t understand why Amon would be that flustered. Indeed, she was currently dressed in nothing more than a white bra that covered her modest chest and a pair of cute panties embroidered with a silver slime.

“Of course I’m in my underwear, I was changing after all.”

“Right. Never mind that, just put some clothes on! Pleaseee! The guilt is killing meee.”

“I suppose I have no choice. I’ll put on something casual, then.”

For some reason, it ended up looking like Solomon was the one compromising, but at last Amon was able to enter the room without his guilt killing him.

“Still, it’s rare for you to fuss over clothes, Young Lady. Where are you going, and with whooo?”

“Fufufu~ You sound just like you’re my parent.”

“Sorry for worrying about you. I mean, is that so wrong of me to do that? Don’t forget, I used to be your self-defense teacher. Let me play the guardian card, alright?”

Feeling a little embarrassed for interfering too much, Amon looked away, while Solomon smiled at him happily.

“No, I like that about you. Your words are rough, but you’re always looking out for others.”

“Gah, enough about me. What about you, Young Lady? Where are you going?”

“Yes… Today, I’m going on a date. I’m so excited!!”

“What… Don’t tell me it’s with Cain…!?”

Seeing Solomon smiling so joyfully gave Amon the illusion that she was about to drift far away from him.

No, I mean, sure, Cain is someone who likes to play around in the red light district, but he’s not a bad guy inherently…

“I see… Well, make sure you’re back by your curfew, okay?”

“What are you talking about? You’re coming too. It’s going to be a double date with Ange-chan and Cain-san, or whatever they call it.”

“Huh? …Wait, this is the first time I’ve heard of this!!”

Ignoring Amon’s protests, Solomon went back to preparing for the outing nonchalantly. It was as if it was already decided that Amon would be coming along with them.

★★★★

“Well, well, thank you all for coming today. A new café has opened in the capital, and the café has become quite famous. I thought it would be nice for you demons to see it for yourselves.”

“Um… Cain-sama, thank you very much for inviting us today.”

They were in the carriage together.Cain wore a suspicious smile as he said so. Meanwhile, Ange answered nervously, but behind her, Solomon was getting excited on her own.

“Amon, look!! So many people!! They’re like trash, don’t you think so?!!”

“Young Lady!! Watch what you say. We’re here to establish peace, remember!!”

“Amon-san, that line was a parody of Ravyuda of the Floating Isles. Come on. You should’ve known better.”

“Well, I’ve never heard of that book before…”

“Ha, you’re undereducated, Amon. I’ve been doing a lot of reading with Ange-chan. Oh, that reminds me, the new Cain X Phantom volume is—”

“Solomon-chan!! Be quiet!!”

After striking a smug pose, Solomon let slip something she shouldn’t have, and Ange quickly covered her mouth in a panic.

“Hahaha~ As long as everyone’s having fun, that’s what matters. Oh. It looks like we have arrived.”

The carriage stopped before a stylish brick café with a line of customers. If Phantom had been there, he would have noticed right away what this place was.

Phantom: Oi! Isn’t this the place that Ceres dragged me in?!

“Cain-sama, it looks like the line is rather long…”

“Fufu~ There is no need to worry. Thanks to my royal connections, I’ve reserved a VIP room for all of us.”

““Uwaaa…””

Ange and Amon let out clearly unimpressed voices at his brazen words, but Cain ignored them. Meanwhile, Solomon cheerfully pointed at the display case filled with sample cakes.

“Wow, I don’t quite understand it, but it’s amazing!! Do they have sweets, or whatever they’re called?”

“Of course they do. Come, let’s go! To the stylish café!!”

Striding in proudly, and being a prince after all, Cain really did get them shown to the so-called VIP room.The room was adorned with expensive furnishings, a dining table, and for some reason, a bed and a bath.

“What the… So cafés have baths too?”

“Don’t tell me this is just like in those dirty books…”

“Cake~♪ Cake~♪ I’m so looking forward to human food, it’s so delicious.”

Watching Solomon drool with delight while the other two looked bewildered, Cain grinned slyly.

“Well then, everyone, take a seat. To help break the ice, how about we start with a game? Something like… The King’s Game.”

Cain made his outrageous suggestion with a smug expression on his face.
