I returned to the Kingdom of Hendil.
I haven't been away that long, but I kind of feel like I haven't been back in a very long time.
I really just want to get back to the inn with Mr. Merck and Lyla right away, but I have to go and report to Master Jessica in the castle first.
Me, Reefa and Nea, Chisato, and Mr. Lyon and Mao were to head to the castle first.
"Yo, welcome home!"
"That was tough."
Has the news of the defeat of the Demon King's army already spread, and the people of the city were called out to them?
I've been asked to be an adventurer before, and I've volunteered, so I'm going to walk through the city while being greeted by people with faces I've seen.
The different people had their gaze on Mr. Lion... well, she looks as beautiful as Merriam, human apart...
"A god beast is a beauty."
"My heart is black, though."
"Hih, isn't it terrible..."
Mr. Lion draws cheeks to the dryness of Reefa and Nea.
It's a little hard to defend, so when I'm off my sight from Lion, who seems to want me to follow him, Mao, who ran up next door on a small run, holds my hand.
"Mao?"
"Can I hold hands?"
"Nothing good..."
I'm not used to being out in public, so are you careful?
Then Chisato, who came next to me sometime after what he thought, reached out to me as I walked.
"Kite, can I hold your hand?"
"You want to play alien...?"
"Wait, looks like you need to revamp your perception of me first...!!"
"I think it's simply your fault..."
Why try to hold hands with me so I can pinch Mao? [M]
Do you want to hang out with Gray, holding hands next to each other and taking them with you?
Keep your mouth shut, Chisato.
After a few seconds of silence, he laughs as he leans his neck so tightly.
"Thrilled?"
"thrilled...?"
I think this is more of a handshake than a handshake.
……
On the contrary, my arm is gently pulled. [M]
As it is, when I am normally surprised by her trying to attract my hand to herself, Reefa and Nea stop Chisato by winging and strangling her before that.
"Chisato, what are you going to do where people's eyes are!!"
"A brave man is the spirit of self-sacrifice...!! Let the flesh rub and invite greed...!! My role as a brave man is over and the time has come to become a beast...!"
"I don't know what that means, but I know you're saying the worst!?"
I have no idea what the hell you were trying to do... well, you look like you're close, and I guess you were kidding as usual.
Later, walking around trying to set aside time to talk to Chisato, he finally arrives at the castle.
Ask the knight who is the gatekeeper to pass to the hall where Master Jessica is waiting.
"Is Mr. Lyon going to talk with you?"
"Right. On your behalf this time, I'll tell you what's going on. You'll be tired from a long journey."
It's rude to just say hello and go home, and even if I were you, I'd talk to Master Jessica.
Walking down the usual aisle, spearheading Mr. Lion, he is invited to the Great Hall, where Master Jessica always carries out his work.
Then, Master Jessica already sits at the table prepared in the middle of the great hall and welcomes us.
"Welcome back. I'm so relieved you're home safe."
"Dear Jessica, I am returning from duty."
Jessica also gives a reassuring look when Reefa answers in a respectful tone.
She seemed to show us the way even while I was telling the kingdom of Vingle.
"Master Lion, thank you for your hard work..."
"No, you don't have to be afraid"
"But..."
"You can have a more shattered attitude towards me. From the standpoint, I'm under your command, Kate."
"Oh, really?"
"Is that right?"
It was...
Not at all, though.
"Okay, okay. In the meantime, shall we sit down and talk?"
Master Jessica is urged to sit in a chair.
Here I show the sif on my shoulder and the bare gesture of Nea beside me, but Master Jessica invites Mao, who was grabbing the sleeve of my clothes.
"Stay here"
"...? Yeah"
Master Jessica looked up at me and put Mao on her knees, tilting her neck but approaching.
The person at the time looked confused not understanding what had happened, but still quiet as a cat who borrowed it without rumbling.
"That's adorable!"
"Ah, uh..."
It's the usual Jessica...
Jessica talks to me and Reefa, sitting in a chair, stroking Mao's head that can illuminate.
"What's wrong with this girl? Could it have been brought from the kingdom of Vingle?"
"The child is the demon king."
"... to?"
"The child is a true demon king."
……
Jessica, who stopped moving, looks at Mao, who is seriously putting him on his lap.
…… Wait, wait... what do you mean? "
"I'll explain from there."
Mr. Lion explains the situation to Master Jessica, who is confused enough to see it.
What happened at the base of the Demon King's Army.
That the Demon King's identity was a young girl named Mao.
And the Demon King's Army made it, that it was Mr. Lyon.
"Mr. Kite."
"Yes."
"In the meantime, I wonder if you could heal the god beast there"
"Don't worry. I've already saved it."
"Oh, that, I said it was okay with a smashed attitude... but the handling got messy -"
Master Jessica sighs loudly when she stops using her salutations against Mr. Lion.
"This is a big problem if you find out..."
"It was necessary... and I guess it's not to delude you"
"Reefa, Mr. Kite. It'll be a long story from here, so you can take your seats off..."
Master Jessica with Mao down from her knees.
You mean it's going to be a difficult story from here on out? When the conversation is over, will you ask Mr. Lyon later?
Standing up from the chair, Mao pulls his sleeve at me.
"Father, shall we go?... Ah."
... Is this it?
Mistake me, would you call someone you don't know your mother?
I feel smiling at Mao holding my mouth by my hand.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Kite. You're making me call you Father!?"
"Ha!? It's a misunderstanding!?"
"That sounds interesting!"
Speaking of which, there was also Jessica on this occasion!?
Jessica speaks to Mao, who turns a blind eye to what happened earlier.
"Who's the mother!?"
"Uh, me."
"Are you Reefa!?"
"Don't lie to me, Reefa!!"
Stuck on a reefa who lies with a face that doesn't eat anything.
…… Yes, Io is your mother "
"I don't know your name!?"
Oh!? That's a tricky thing to talk about!?
Until just now the heavy air has been splendidly smashed, but as it is, it annoys Mr. Io, who is in the kingdom of Vingle.
I can't let that happen, so I tried to speak to Master Jessica to get him to take the misunderstanding seriously.
