375 The monarch of the first circle-part two-

"It's like a five-star hotel room… just like on earth" Though Alfonso.

"Wow~ I-I-It's so comfortable~" Said Drakini while throwing herself on the bed.

Alfonso also touched the bed.

"Yeah, it really is" He added.

"Alfonso… what are we going to do from now on?" Asked Cerberus.

"We will just go with the flow… at least for now… you also sense it, right?" Asked Alfonso.

"Ah… that butler…" 

"Is dangerous" Said Cerberus.

Alfonso and Cerberus looked at each other for some seconds before sighing.

"If we go all out… we could defeat him but…" 

"We are in enemy territory, we don't know if there are two or maybe three like that guy, we need to be careful" Said Alfonso.

"S-S-Sir, we shouldn't go just yet!" Said Drakini.

"Why?" Asked Alfonso.

"T-T-This place has a trace of the concept of time!" Said Drakini.

"You mean the concept of that red gas?" Asked Alfonso.

"Y-Y-Yeah!" Said Drakini.

"Why would be a trace of the concept of time here… supposedly… there should only be death soul aura in hell… this isn't making any sense…" Though Alfonso.

"But we can stay for too long…" Murmured Alfonso while looking at the countdown on the system.

'43:20:05'

"Forty-three hours left…" Though Alfonso.

[Don't forget that time in hell pass slowly than in earth, dear host~]

"I know" Though Alfonso.

"Let's sleep, for now, we need to recover from the fight" Said Alfonso.

"Sure" Said Cerberus.

The three of them throw themselves on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

.............................................

After a couple of hours, Alfonso opened his eyes, feeling a little bit sore but, at the same time, refreshed.

"I really needed a good sleep" Said Alfonso.

He looked at his surroundings and made a sigh of relief after seeing the red luxury walls instead of the bloody carnage walls that were in his previous room.

"Indeed, sleeping is still the best" He said.

"Fuahh~" 

Alfonso looked at this sight and saw little Drakini yawing with her hand on her mouth.

"Good morning" Said Alfonso.

"S-S-Sir, good morning" Said Drakini.

"Had a good sleep?" 

"Y-Y-Yes! I feel energized!" Said Drakini.

Alfonso smiled and looked at his other side, there, was a little Cerberus sleeping like a pig.

"W-W-What a pig!" Said Drakini.

"Be good" Said Alfonso.

"Hmph! S-S-Sir is too soft with him! H-H-He doesn't even offer his assistant! H-H-He is bad!" Said Drakini.

Alfonso turned and shook Cerberus.

"Cerberus, wake up" 

"Mmm~" 

Cerberus slowly woke up while sobbing his sleepy eyes.

"Alfonso… breakfast…" Said Cerberus.

"Who are you calling a stupid dog!? You stupid lizard!" 

"Y-Y-you… you call me a lizard!? T-T-That's it! Let's end this!" 

"Oh! That's what I was waiting f- *Ouch*!"

Cerberus, who was about to fight with Drakini, felt a punch on his head.

"Alfonso!"

"Not fighting" 

"But why did you only hit me!"

"Because she is a girl" Said Alfonso.

"That's…" Cerberus felt that Alfonso was right, however, he also felt wronged.

"Bleh~" 

"Drakini, you too, don't fight with your brother"

"Who is her brother!?"

"Cerberus"

"Ok, ok, don't hit me" Said Cerberus while guarding his head.

"Y-Y-Yes sir" Said Drakini.

"Now, let's get changed so we go out" Said Alfonso.

""Changed?"" Asked Both.

"I thought I saw a couple of spare clothes in the closet yesterday" Said Alfonso.

................................

Alfonso and company changed clothes into a more formal and elegant outfit. They walked out of their room when someone was already waiting for them.

"WHAT… YOU!" Said Alfonso.

"Bongiorno~ My friend, I finally found you!" Said a happy voice.

"Dante!" Said Alfonso.

Standing outside of their room, Dante was wearing a red outfit and wearing a happy smile.

"Where were you all this time!?" Asked Alfonso.

"Well~ after we separate and happened to meet some old friends and, one thing led to another and here I am~" Said Dante.

"However, I was surprised to hear that you were here!" Added Dante.

"Who told you that?" Asked Alfonso.

"That would be me" 

Alfonso followed the sound of the voice and found a small… cat beside Dante.

"Hello~"

"H…Hello" Said Alfonso.

"My name is Lei nyaa~"

"I am a maid in this hotel" Added Lei.

"Maid?" Asked Alfonso.

"She just doesn't like her human form" Said Dante.

"It's too hard to walk nya, although, I had to change when I serve the costumers nyaa~" Said Lei.

"And how do you…" 

"I meet Lei when she died a couple of hundred years ago, she so happened to be quite powerful, so I went with her to meet Caronte so she could have… a better treat" Said Dante.

"I see" Said Alfonso.

"Anyway, the party would be in a couple of days nya~, so you should relax nya~" Said Lei.

She climbed the shoulder of Dante and yawned.

"Dante, I am sleepy nya~ I would be on my way nya~"

"See you later" Said Dante.

With that, shadows envelop Lei, and, in a split of a second, she disappeared in the shadows.

"She has the same ability as the butler" Said Alfonso.

"That just a privilege that all employees have, however, is true that Lei is very powerful" Said Dante.

"Compared with the butler?" Asked Cerberus.

"The distance is not too wide, but Lei would do her best to avoid any confrontation with him" Said Dante.

"Do you know him as well?" Asked Alfonso.

"I don't know him that much, however, I do know that guy has quite a reputation in the first circle" Said Dante.

"Why?" Asked Alfonso.

"He is known to be the right hand of the monarch" Said Dante.

"The right hand of the monarch!? Then… that means…" 

"As you imagine"

"This whole hotel is managed by the monarch" Said Dante.

.........................................

*Knock* *Knock*

"Hmm?" 

Lei, who just had her nap, opened her eyes at the sound of the knocking of the door.

The door opened and the butler showed his figure.

"Who gave you permission to enter, nya?" Said Lei.

"The monarch is calling for you" Said the butler.

"I see, be gone then, I will go in a minute nya" Said Lei.

The butler didn't leave, he stood there, in silence, wearing his creepy smile.

"Is there anything else nya?" Asked Lei.

"Who is the guy that you were talking with?" Asked the butler.

"He? He is a friend" Said Lei.

"Do I have to remain you what is your purpose here?" 

Lei looked at the butler and smiled.

"Are you feeling jealous?" 

Lei jumped from her bed, and, in an instant, a beautiful long black haired girl appeared in front of the butler.

"Too bad nya~, I will never like you, not even if you kill me"

"…" The butler's face didn't change.

"So be in your way and don't bother me nya~"

*PAM*

Lei throw the door on the butler's face whose face remained the same.

*Drip*

*Drip*

However, a small pond of blood formed under the hand of the butler.
