Monster Musume Harem wo Tsukurou! (Let’s Make a Harem of Monster Girls) - Chapter 108
Monster Musume chapter 108: 10 years later
Many aristocrats gathered and accompanied the king during meetings in the throne room. The king’s political power – the kingdom’s power center. Normally, it is a place used to listen to the reports from the Minister and pet.i.tions from the people and respond to it. Now, aristocrats from the kingdom are gathering here. The knights stand up with a sword so that they surround the middle where the red carpet is laid. Beyond that is the throne where the king sits. A brave king who always stood at the forefront of the battlefield when he was young. Even now, that side still remains, you can see that his body is trained even from a distance. There is no tension on his face under the whiskers, even for fine dust. He has a big smile on his face. Although meeting in advance, it is tricky to hide that far. Behind him are his knights of the King’s guard and the ministers and influential n.o.bles are standing closest to the king. There is the appearance of a woman in a robe that her waist doesn’t bend at all though it is old; she hides in the crowd because it is not tall there. There is the content of doing, and the security as much as possible is done. The status and physical examinations of all aristocrats and knights have been done without a doubt and are restricted from entering the second wall. The entering of the yell of soldiers of the patrols is not extraordinary either.
The s.p.a.ce full of such tension is suddenly broken. The door opposite to the throne opened slowly and a knight wearing a luxurious armor came out one step ahead.
“Zakurion empire´s empress, Yukurishisu Zakurion and companions have arrived!”
A woman walks beside the knight who shouted so loudly and walks on the carpet with a dash. A clean dress based on blue and treated with white lace in some places. Her long blond hair is pleasing with winds and shining like a stardust in the light of a chandelier. A metallic sound sounding messy as she walks every time. On her waist is a long sword that fits in a silver sheath. Absolutely, swords are prohibited to be brought into the throne room other than those of the king’s guard.
“This is my first time. Excuse me for having a sword, please forgive me. I just got a little bit of information in my ear, so I brought it in just in case.” Yukurishisu
“I do not care. If it is you the empress, my guards won’t be a match for you. If that comes to mind, it would be a moment for my neck to roll.” Human king
“No, I heard that your Highness has great skills. It will take a few moments.” Yukurishisu
In a disturbing conversation, the guards put their hands on the hilt. But the King admonished it. Information to say that the empress is anxious, it is information that comes to bother sword. The guards must be vigilant about the information, not the king.
“I’m already on alert. Because the information is conveyed to the knights and n.o.bles.” Human king
“Then, let’s start immediately. What are we talking about today is…” Yukurishisu
Seeing the knights go down, the king enters the subject. Of course, he probably must have heard what this lady came for. From a person who knows the circ.u.mstances, I can only see a farce, but diplomacy is such a thing. Discussion under the water is the real thing.
“It is just five years today since my empire and the kingdom started trading. The exchange system is stable and the exchange of resources is flourishing.” Yukurishisu
“That’s right. Now, we are trading with all the countries of the continent. I was worried about what would happen at that time, but it seems to me that it was needless to say.” Human king
“Yes. Both countries that had been fighting before are now becoming indispensable to each other. So…I am proposing to have an exchange between countries on the 5th anniversary.” Yukurishisu
“Exchange between countries…diplomatic relations?” Human king
“Yes, that’s right.” Yukurishisu
In the pretense of diplomatic relations, the disturbances from the surrounding n.o.bles become even bigger. It would also be so. More than ten years have pa.s.sed since the war with the empire ended; the economic exchange was deepened considerably, but the wind blowing against the demons is strong. There are many people who have forgot the past and are trying to live the present, but there are still a few opinions that they could still be devastated by demons and become extinct. Noticeable riots and other things have not happened at the moment, but it was also remembered that various commotions occurred when commerce began. Conservative aristocrats said “You should see a little more,” and cried out that extremists, “kill that lady right now!” Although it is a minority, it is quite floating.
“Isn’t it a little overeager? Certainly the economic ties have deepened, but I feel like it’s too early.” Human king
“My acquaintance said that knights were honoring hastily. Five years after the trade began, it may be early indeed. There are many people in the kingdom who do not want to exchange words with demons. But that’s because they don’t know us demons. I think that diplomatic relations are indispensable for the development of each other’s country to move forward from that time.” Yukurishisu
“…I see.” Human king
The king handles his beard with his hand. What the empress is talking about is never wrong. Due to the exchanges between the two countries, the demand to be generated becomes large. That is enough to push the opponents and tie diplomatic relations. But, the threat of that opponent is never a small thing. People who were directly affected by powerful aristocrats and demons, people who lived in fortified cities and villagers from the north. If they are going to cause a revolt, it is certain that they will suffer great damage. To decide to take such risk, strong judgment is required. If you are a mediocre king, it will be the choice you want to avoid. But this king is not. He has eyes to see things since he was brought up on the battlefield and a sharp intuition. Like the empress, this king is a proper king. If it was the former king who summoned the heroes, he probably would have refused it in the previous stage. It was a big stir, but for the country, it was worth it.
“All right. My kingdom will establish diplomatic relations with your empire. Any notes?” Human king
“Here.”
A young man like a beastman who was waiting behind the empress pa.s.sed a doc.u.ment, looking like a scroll, to the empress, and the n.o.bles were surprised when this guy appeared, but he was following the empress from the beginning. It had turned out to be a sign so that it did not get in the way. Only a few people who were aware of it were set to move at any time. The empress handed the writing directly to the king. When he picked up a pen from a young man who spread the scroll and suffered a secretary-like hat and tried signing through the contents. A woman’s voice reverberated in the hall.
“I can not let you sign that.” ???
The voice heard from somewhere, the n.o.bles swung their heads looking for the owner. We will evacuate the guys who have become such a swinging doll along the way previously determined by the knights. Only the empress and the king and the people who were on the side didn’t move.
“…My king. Whose voice is this? He said that he cannot let you sign.”
“Come on, human king. If you don’t see your opponent, you cannot say anything. It is certainly a familiar voice, but I don’t really know if it is her or not.”
“Pure white…. Killing my Lord, you will hear such a mouth often.”
A woman with wings like a bat appeared with a black haze above the chandelier. Everyone wonders if it was a beautiful owner before, but that cheeks could be seen to have a deep gorge under the eyes. Only her eyes were full of animation and grudge, shining brightly.
“Long time no see, Yukurishisu-sama. I wonder if it will be 10 years.” Almira
“It’s you, Almira. I searched for you for a long time, but I didn’t find you at all. Where the h.e.l.l have you been hiding?” Yukurishisu
“There is no story to talk about who goes to death now. One thing I would like to ask is, where is the human named Tsuchio? If you offer him to me, I will leave this kingdom. If you don’t give him to me…I’ll drop the capital.” Almira
“You think you can do something like that? This capital has three thick walls and it is not possible to do it in a shallow attack.” King
“I’m very confident, human king. If you enter inside with teleportation magic, it is like there is no wall. It can definitely be dropped. Where is Tsuchio, hand him over to me within 1 minute.” Almira
‘Deliver him quickly!’ can be heard from some n.o.bles. From them they do not know anything and it is cheap to save the country by one’s life. However, Almira has not made clear when she will attack the kingdom and she didn’t even mention the empire. Since she was determined to come to invade, she absolutely would come to the place that succeeded the intentions of the previous emperor Grannir.
“You really think I would hand him over? You are out of your mind.” Yukurishisu
“I guess so. Then, let’s have a painful meeting with the person who is quarter under.” Almira
Cut the chain hanging the chandelier by swinging one arm. Below is the human wave that is causing a big traffic jam because of some aristocrat who tried to escape without being in a panic because of panic. The n.o.bles screaming, looking at the chain being cut. The red shadow that jumped out of the wall sinks straight under and supports the chandelier with both arms. The n.o.bles who seemed surprised, looking at those who are catching on overhead.
“Huu, If you think about what to do, drop the chandelier? I’m glad it’s not magic.” Tsuchio
“…You were there, Tsuchio. Grannir´s enemy…! Make amends for the sin, the death that will live in your suffering!” Almira
A young man who handed the pen to the king, takes off his hat. Looking at the young man with a shallow face engraved in black hair, the woman called Almira smiled a distorted smile.
“I don’t know what it is, but I finally brought it here. I can’t let you ruin it.”
“It’s too late. It has already been transferred into the wall, and it is a matter of time before this capital falls…” Almira
“Oh, that’s it. She can’t transfer it into the capital.” Maxwell
A pet.i.te old woman among the ministers said so. Princ.i.p.al of the Royal Academy, Maxwell.
“I guess there was no time when you came, but a barrier was wrapped around the capital last night so that nothing can be transferred through the barrier.”
“Is that so. In that case, I will just besiege from the outside. You weak human soldiers are no opponents for the elites I have gathered. Even if we can’t make the capital fall, it is impossible to form diplomatic relations. That alone is enough.” Almira
“Isn’t your purpose to kill me and the empress?” Tsuchio
“That is one of my purposes.” Almira
The young man and that woman face each other. Each other’s warfare and magical power increased, and instantly prompt air was stretched for a moment.
<Tsuchio´s POV>
Sure enough, she has been planning to attack at a place where diplomatic discussion is concluded. Suddenly I thought she’d be releasing magic, but it was chilly feeling and I was glad it stopped to just dropping the chandelier. If n.o.bles suffer damage, then the conservatives will undoubtedly see a conclusion for this matter.
“Tsuchio.” Ruu
“Nice catch, Ruu. Its bad, but it’s a battle.” Tsuchio
“Yes, it’s nostalgic.” Ruu
Ruu that catches the chandelier is standing on the floor and in front of me. She held her fist and opened her legs, before leaning forward. It is not possible to neglect the precaution because the ability of the other party cannot be read.
『Tsuchio, a great number of demons came out of the wall!』Tsuchino
“Okay, I’ll ask you for an interception with Loreen-san. I will also leave the rock snake’s control to you.” Tsuchio
『Understood, good luck here!』Tsuchino
Apparently, the demons under Almira-san who couldn’t transfer inside seems to be destroying the wall. We have already taken measures and I can leave it to the other side. There are things that I don’t like to fight while caring.
“I do not want to be vindictive…. It’s about 10 years ago.”
“From the perspective of the lifespan of a demon, 10 years is so sweet, Rin-chan. If you were thinking about revenge, you can do it now.” Tsuchio
“…Now that you mention it, you make demons serve you.” Almira
After Almira looked at Lime and Rin emerging from the shadow of the pillar inside the throne room, she more strongly glares at me. The indoor gun battle will be difficult, and Nichrome is going outside. We can not ruin this place too much.
“Yukurishisu-san, please protect the king tightly.” Tsuchio
“Leave it to me, beat her up for my part!” Yukurishisu
These words sparked the war. A huge black sphere appears over my head and a black rain pours down in line. We are the only ones in this hall because we are taking refuge while defending the King and Yukurishisu. We don’t have to worry about stray bullets. A transparent turtle-shaped shield appears from my talismans released in the air. The black belt which was likely to hit Ruu is parried and prevented. Because it moves according to my imagination, it is not necessary to recreate it purposely.
Ruu, who danced in the air, a.s.saulted in a straight line. Piercing through her glittering fist. However, the mist that gushed up before Almira became a shield, and it was cleared! And fierce sparks scattered. Ruu’s fist burned even the mist, but it also adds magical power beyond the limit. It will be difficult to penetrate. From behind, the jumping Lime swings down her claws. The surface is covered with liquid and appears to be trembling slightly. Even trying to prevent it with mist, the claw tore up Almira’s body. Six bruised scars that spouted blood and ran across the side. Almira, who opens her eyes, has blood on her cheeks and Ruu´s fist that pierced the mist hits directly. Almira avoided it at a particular stroke by aiming at the moment when the control would be lesser. Scales are full of scratches and cuts are made, but they have not suffered major injuries.
She hit the floor and jumped to the wall. Seeing that she is coughing, we try to pursue her. Four talismans that flew around encloses her, and a transparent magical wall covers her. A triangular pyramidal barrier with a sharp tip on top – while hindering the opponent’s movement…. Thunderstorms in the vicinity of the ceiling gather and it is condensed inside. And lightning. Lightning struck at the apex of the barrier, hitting without aiming. Blue lightning burrows into the barrier and burns Almira. Stopping her movement, she focussed her attention at the thunder. Moreover, the energy of thunder keeps burning the enemy inside the barrier. No matter how immortal she is, there must be sensation of pain; as expected, this is hard work.
But, that is why she said that she was immortal. Destroying the barrier from the inside, the torrent of the dark stagnating black clouds strikes us. The carpet that touched melts while raising white smoke. If such a magic was used against the aristocracy, it would have been dangerous. Based on the five talismans, I create two huge magical walls and stand on the floor to be sharp. The wall of the darkness that has flowed as a muddy fluid is cut open. Though it melts even the magical power, the surface of the wall is made muddy, but it does not collapse so easily.
When the darkness clears, the floor where cobblestones have become exposed first comes into my eyes and Almira who is raising smoke at the end. After all, burns are slow to regenerate. Maybe because the wounds are blocked by fire?
“…Is it enough for countering immortality? But, that is why I do not think that I can kill you!” Tsuchio
“Father, what are you doing? You need a special weapon to kill immortality, don’t you?” Lime
“There is a way to erase without a trace like h.e.l.lfire-san. Ruu, can you shoot the angry breath?” Tsuchio
“Well, I wonder if it’s indeed as severe…. First, if you shoot a breath indoors like this, the castle will collapse.” Ruu
“Is that so? Well… after all, do we have to go? Because I am absolutely angry, I do not feel much like that…” Tsuchio
“You can not say that. But, because you can not be called from over there, you only have to go from here. What to do?” Ruu
Almira’s play will be over soon. I wish I had moved quickly before I thought unintentionally…. Even if you regret it, can you give me damage and spread to that gap?
Immediately after thinking and holding a note, Almira’s belly was blown off and it was greatly scoured. Slightly behind, a roar reaches my ear. Did Nichrome aimed and shot from outside? Because the window gla.s.s in the hall is broken, probably the bullet came from there. Something small jumped in from the window and landed near Almira. Causing an explosion in a chain. I guess she shot missiles after sniping. There seems to be a route to some extent, so there is no worry of hitting the wall.
The hall is filled with a b.l.o.o.d.y odor at a stretch. Almira, who got blown away and was besieged by the missile bombing, has a pale face and kneels down. Even if the wound heals, she won’t be able to regenerate from the blood loss. It is likely that intense headache due to anemia, nausea and the like are attacking.
『Master, I heard the story through the talisman. In the meantime, we have to teleport.』Nichrome
“Nichrome, where are you shooting from?” Tsuchio
『I’ll tell you later. Now, please transfer quickly. I’m heading for protecting the wall.』Nichrome
“Roger that. You have to be careful about your injuries!” Tsuchio
We can’t afford to waste the time that Nichrome created, so let’s move quickly.
“Tsuchino, are you ready?” Tsuchio
『Of course, we can go anytime! All the people here. There are no problems with Ruu and the others, but it is useless unless everyone else is in contact with each other.』Tsuchino
“I know. It’ll be okay because it’s playing, but you should be wary of it.” Tsuchio
Keeping talismans in my hands, I approached Almira. Stepping into the blood pool, I touch Almira lying on the floor. As usual, she still stares at me with eyes full of animosity, but it seems she cannot use magic. This amount of bleeding is normal, if it is not normal, it is at an instant death level.
“Please be relieved, just move to a place that is easy to fight. Do not go crazy, you do not know if your arms and legs are gone. Tsuchino, jump.” Tsuchio
『Okay!』Tsuchino
With the sensation of the body floating, the view is becoming dark and dim. The scenery around had changed into that of night. Phew, it’s kinda disgusting….
“…Here is.”
“It is the place where the previous emperor died. Speaking of which, Almira-san didnt come before. It is good, because she will die in the same place as her favorite person.”
Almira still is shedding blood from her stomach while I headed to Ruu to transfer together safely. Don’t you think she will be angry at all of us?
“…Hey, Tsuchio. Why did you come?” Danzetsu
“Ah, Danzetsu-san. Long time no see, was it three months ago?” Tsuchio
“You just came last month! Practicing that breath! And now you bring me a dying woman…has Lime finally done it?” Danzetsu
“False accusations! Even if I do it, I will carefully kill so that no evidence will be left!” Lime
“What does it mean to kill carefully…. So what’s it this time today?” Danzetsu
“I came to borrow this rambling s.p.a.ce. I was fighting in a castle, but it was too narrow. I’m going to get wild here.” Tsuchio
“I thought it was like that. It will be useless to refuse and let me go quickly.” Danzetsu
“I’m sorry. To apologize, I will bring you something delicious this time.” Tsuchio
“No, don’t come anymore. Haa, I wonder how you could come here with teleportation…?” Danzetsu
『I´m a spirit, even if I rot.』Tsuchino
Although it was a discontinuance, I gave up and retreated to another room as my room. Almira, who finished playing, gets up and holds her right hand to the sky. A shot of darkness appears ominously, covering the sky full of black as we looked at it.
“Wide s.p.a.ce is convenient for me. This is the end.” Almira
“Many…Ruu, prepare your breath. Lime and Rin cover. Tsuchino, let’s do it.” Tsuchio
『I’m glad you prepared for this.』Tsuchino
“Rather, I only thought it for Almira. That’s why I have not found any other uses for it.” Ruu
“It’s like a stupid output. The world is going to shake once again after h.e.l.lfire’s breath.” Danzetsu
“Let’s not get the attention of Almira. I’ll protect you.” Tsuchio
“Father’s defense is a steel wall, so please be confident.” Lime
“I have the worst barrier, so please give priority to Lime.”
Lime and Rin jump out right and left. At the same time, Tsuchino and I transform into the united form, causing magical power to expand. Ruu also takes a certain amount of time to prepare for collecting magical power on her arms and unifying her spirit – preparing it for releasing the breath of maximum power.
Dark stars which floated in the air fall all at once. Just like shooting stars pulled with a tail, they attack us. More than half over me and Ruu, the rest going separately to Lime and Rin.
“As I practiced, I left it for halfway!”
『It is up to you! Tsuchio, I would like to see it!』
“It’s a dash!? Still light!”
Spread a large amount of talismans taken out in both hands, in the air. Transfer nearly half of the floating talismans to Lime and Rin, and the rest for our defense. The talismans that stopped in the air are connected by magical power, creating a strong bound. As a result of maximally balancing the boundary of the regular icosahedron, endurance and pa.s.sion, it settled in such a form. Its robustness is accompanied by origami; anyway it is somewhere in the middle. So, it is defending Lime who is concentrating. Believe me, she won’t be able to pierce through, if she doesn’t find an answer.
Even if a black meteor is approaching from behind on both left and right, the two run towards Almira without slowing down the speed. Although the distance has shrunk considerably, it is shot first in this way. So, it’s my turn. Expanding the talismans that were flying at the same time with two people, a curved rectangular magic shield emerged, blocking the path of magic. Apparently, it seems that if there is no one controlling it, it just plunges and explodes. Even though shields will get involved in the impact and disappear as dust, magic remains. So, produce shields one after another to cover their back and do not let it approach the two. Meanwhile, the explosion sounds, but the barrier does not shake. Well, after all I am able to do it to the whole body.
While being chased by magic, two people close to the front of Almira. Was Lime reminded of that haze and is she retreating? The two people who saw it quickly attacked, but at that moment the edge of her mouth curved. I turn my hands to two people. There is a ma.s.s of darkness just overflowing from the palm. Instead of the one who is preparing something, she obviously chose to intercept Lime!? d.a.m.n, because she is immortal, she will not die no matter what she does! So, let’s do it!
Leaving only the part to prevent the meteor, activate the two techniques with all the magic. One is a defensive, hexagonal shield before two people. The other is to arrange it so as to enclose the elbow of Almira’s arms, and to create something like a flat plate. The magical plate is completed. Naturally, Almira’s arm is on its way. It is separated by the back and front of the board, falls to the ground. Activated with magic, a large explosion occurs on the spot. While being protected by shields, Lime and Rin are blown away. Almira receives it from the front. The difference in damage is clear.
“Th, thank you, father.” Lime
“Really, it is a technique that isn’t dirty…. No matter how thick the armor is, it’s meaningless.”
“Not so, you can not cut it because it will not surround it well when it is moving at high speed. Well, it’s not only to protect the shields.”
Firebees are almost ineffective on the other party. If it is a small fish, they are really effective….
“Ruu, are you ready?” Tsuchio
“Yes, it’s done! You can always go!” Ruu
“Good, Tsuchino, are you alright?” Tsuchio
『I’m ready to activate! After that, Tsuchio will only need to make fine adjustments! I hope you arent plodding during the s.e.x later!』Tsuchino
“I am not tired, so leave it to me.”
Everything is ready, only the trigger is pulled afterwards. At that moment, Almira is blown away! The talismans developed in the air draw five large circles. The circles shining green, red, yellow, white and light blue drew a bigger circle. The light is even stronger, far surpa.s.sing the moonlight. Although I have controlled it many times, it is still difficult to manipulate such a magical power. It’s almost like a ramping horse; but I do not care about this one. Ruu holds the palm together with her forefoot. From that, a fireball that just looks like a small sun was emitting light towards the magic circle. Neither can be seen directly, else the eyes will collapse.
“A human, such magic…. I will never let you shoot!”
“No, I will definitely shoot!”
“I’m not going to disturb you!”
One hundred thunderstorms fall down on Almira who tried to drop the talismans in the air. In addition, Lime separates a part of her body and throws it sharp like a dart. It flew through the wind with the force I was thinking as to where it was hidden, pierced Almira’s right shoulder. Moreover, the shape changed. It splits finely like a tentacle and stabs the arm and chest. Surely the part inside her body will be like a needle ball. Terrible.
“Fire, Ruu!”Tsuchio
“Uraaaaaa!!!” Ruu
The sun in the palm ruptures, releasing the secreted thermal energy. Ruu’s breath is released to the sky, like sunlight coming from a cloud break. The aim is just above the magic circle, a single talisman that is the key to activate the magic circle. Brilliantly, the breath hit the talisman. If you think that you will skip the talisman as it is, change direction at once. For the sake of this, it is a talisman for turning the direction of the breath. I have turned most of the capacity to heat-resistant treatment, but it still becomes nothing in 10 seconds. That alone is enough. It thrust into the middle of the magic circle and it was sucked in as it was. Silence dominates the s.p.a.ce. Almira, whose shoulder was stiff, was also looking up at the magic circle in a suspicious way. …It’s coming.
Without any premonition, the whole magic circle is dyed red at a stretch. The magical power stored by Ruu’s breath adds magical power to the magic circle and is multiplied many times further. It changed its appearance to a booster to increase the power of Ruu’s breath, and the point reached in a certain sense of the star talisman.
The magical power put in the magic circle explodes, rocks the s.p.a.ce and burns the atmosphere, and a huge fire pillar emerges. Wrapped around Almira, it involves the surrounding s.p.a.ce and burns everything. A superheated flame condensed in the form of fire pillar burned just what was there without an explosion.
“Ah…now, I´m on your side.”
Such a voice seems to have been heard before the fire pillar was made. Looking at the large hole made in front of me, I thought so. It is difficult to hear her voice in that roaring sound. However, I can certainly a.s.sert that I heard it. Just as it was at the time of Grannir.
“Huu, I’m home.” Tsuchio
“Yes, Welcome back, Master.” Nichrome
“Ah, Nichrome. You’re back now.” Tsuchio
We successfully annihilated Almira and after receiving a small word from Danzetsu-san, we came home to our house in the royal city. I have a lot of work to do, but today I got home because I wanted to take a rest.
The monsters that Almira had brought were also swept away by the soldiers who had been placed on the first wall. Loreen also partic.i.p.ated as a court magician, but rock snakes and Nichrome seem to have been a big success. “Already, it is a little army corps just with this serpent.” From that point on, we can further refine it so that we can also attack. The number has increased considerably, and it is no wonder even if it is said to be a corps on its own as well. The more important thing is that the soldiers of demons brought by Yukurishisu and the human soldiers fought together. It seems that Tyres and Toururi took command and played a big role. It was exactly one-sided.
Although it seems that formal diplomatic ties are to come in later, there is no worry that the decision won’t be made. Well, it was really hard to come this far. I took the opportunity to go back and forth between the two countries and change the king who was reluctant…. After knocking down Almira, finally I feel that it came this far. I guess I have always been wary of where she was. It feels like the load on the shoulders has fallen. I guess I will be busy again from tomorrow. Ha, desk work or being a n.o.bleman’s opponent are hard.
“Here are the talismans of the Rock snakes.” Nichrome
“Thank you. Are you hurt?” Tsuchio
“Yes, of course. It is small compared with master´s opponent. Are the others fine?” Nichrome
“They got a little injured, but they will be fine as they have been cured.” Tsuchio
“My body has been incinerated collectively…. It takes a little while to get it back to normal.” Nichrome
“I only used magical power, so I have no problem.” Tsuchio
“Is that so? It seems to have been quite a stretch if the other party was Almira.” Nichrome
“No, that’s not the way it is. It looks like I could afford it because I had a lot of preparation, but it was quite the last minute one. I would be dead if she used a big magic amongst the n.o.bles.” Tsuchio
That was really good, as it only ended with dropping the chandelier. I was wary of it all the time, but it’s a subtle matter as to whether the defense would have been on time.
“Well, whatever, it was good to be back safely.”
“That’s right. I’m really tired and I’m going to sleep now.”
On the way to the bedroom, everyone stops in a room. A large bed is placed, and various things are scattered on the floor. A stuffed doll with a wooden sword, a picture book, etc. Even though I’m brushing my mouth properly before I go to bed. Great care must be taken.
“Huhu, she is sleeping comfortably… ”
“That’s right…”
Hugging the futon at the edge, a child with the same red hair as Ruu was lying there. When I stroke her hair, you can see that she is a little cusped. Ruu is stroking her daughter with a merciful expression that is filled with gentleness. As usual, people change with children.
“She is totally hungry, when she fall asleeps…she will catch a cold.”
“Oh, this is me and father. I’m sorry, I missed you.”
Normally, we three sleep together in one bed. I guess she was missing me because I came home very late. I owe it to this girl that I was able to do my best. I do not want this child to have a hard time; I want her to grow up to have a free life. If so, I could do my best no matter how hard it was. Even with a lot of difficult work, I was able to do it. People change truly as things they want to protect are more. I feel like that.
“Ah, look Tsuchio. She is saying daddy in sleep. Cute…” Ruu
“Recently, I’ve been working all the way…I wonder if we should go away somewhere by taking a break. Have a lunch at a lake.” Tsuchio
“That’s right…now we can do that…” Ruu
“Yes…. I’m sorry, I would like to be with you.” Tsuchio
“We are together Tsuchio, right? From now on, you will have a lot of time. Right?” Ruu
“That’s right, father. Because you’ve been working hard all the time, no one complains even if you take a little rest.”
“You were begging me to listen to Tsuchio’s bravery? Therefore let’s hear it. I’m sure you want to hear it from Tsuchio´s mouth.”
“Bravery…it is not such a big thing.”
Well, let’s talk as much as she wants. How about talking about Danze Island or something? I think it’s quite interesting.
“Tsuchio…it’s always the same. From now on, I will be happy.” Ruu
