Continuity is the Father of Magical Power

While planning to attract the church to the city of Leena, I came to the adventure city of Belle with Belle and Lou.

Well, this place was developed two or three years ago, so it seems like a date with a visit.

"Wow, there's a lot more people out there than there was before."

"It's the fastest growing city in the world."

From runaways to veterans, this is a good place to earn money for adventurers.

With too many adventurers relocating their hubs here, there are half a dozen complaints from small and large aristocracy that adventurers are in trouble.

You can ignore it, but I don't want to increase the number of enemies, so I accommodated weapons and magic equipment where there were actually fewer adventurers and the monster was not slaughtered in time.

As a result, when you wrote me a complaint letter, there were a lot of idiots who thought I'd get something for free.

Of course, when I read such a letter, I tore it up and threw it away and ignored it.

"If there are many adventurers, there are many security problems."

Bell looked worried when he laid his eyes on a bunch of scavengers.

"Indeed, the number of crimes is the best of the four.Because the population is ten times larger than Muldeen. "

Rather, the creation of this place has reduced the number of people who cause such disturbances from Muldeen.

It used to be so insecure, but now it is said that the world's best merchants can live in peace.

"Are you strengthening your security?"

"I am, but I haven't made it to the rapid population growth.Well, even if it's a crime, it's mostly equipment damage associated with fights between adventurers, so I think it's faster for the guild to thoroughly educate the adventurers. "

Even though the crime rate is high, there are not so many apparent cases of theft and murder.

This city is full of thugs who can't do more than the worst.

I see.

On their way to the dungeon in the center of the city, the adventurers were making rows of serpents.

"There are still a lot of people in the dungeon today.Wouldn't you make a lot of money if you were here? "

"No, that's not true. I made it even wider in anticipation of a lot coming."

This dungeon has been constantly refurbished with little magic, and in the past few years it has finally been possible to create it up to the 40th floor.

Unlike the Knights Training Ground dungeon, this place is built with great difficulty.

"That's right. Aren't you going to be attacked?"

"Well, I think it's okay.Because the last layer only adds to the difficulty unusually.Maybe it's okay for Belle and Lou to be challenged together. "

"Eh? Can I use destruction magic?"

"Maybe... we have to destroy the walls."

If that gimmick will activate as I thought it would.

If you fail, they'll kill you instantly.

"Eh. I'm really curious about that.Hey, Belle? Let's see how far we can go together. "

No, they'll be there in two hours before the last boss.

The question is whether we can get through the last boss.

"No, Lou and I have a baby in our stomach."

That's how Belle rubbed his stomach.

As a matter of fact, they're both pregnant.

Lou is eight months pregnant and Belle is about five months pregnant, and both of them are hungry enough to know at a glance that they are pregnant women.

Still, I think it's really amazing that they're fine and able to live their normal lives.

"It's okay, it's me and Belle's kid.I'm not a kid who can handle a little shock. "

"No, it's half Leo's blood."

No, no, that's not how you teach, is it?It sounds like I'm weak, and if my blood isn't mixed up, I can try the dungeon.

"Mm... I'm sure Leo was often seriously injured.All right, I'll be patient. "

Yes. Anyway, I am a weak person who often suffers major injuries.

She stroked Lou's head to deceive her as she was wobbling.

Ehehehe

……

Mr. Bell said he was afraid of his eyes.

"Yes, yes, Belle too."

Belle, who was burning with jealousy, also stroked his head.

Soon after, Bell loosened his face happily and began to deceive him by turning bright red, realizing that he had a slightly lewd face.

"Beh, I didn't expect you to stroke my head either!"

"Yes, yes."

When I stroked my head again with anger, I was relaxing my expression muscles happily again.

When Elsie, Lena, Belle and Lou were together, she finally came on a date named Shelley and Inspection.

This place has finally taken shape.

As Shelley said, the city we are looking at from the top of the castle wall rising on the border with the kingdom has become a city in form.

However, the number of people crossing the city was so small that the city that had been built seemed to be overhanging.

"It was from scratch...I wonder if there will be more people. "

"I'm sure there will be more. Elaine is investing in trade with the Empire."

"Well, I guess I'm not too worried about this city either."

Today, the Holland Chamber of Commerce is doing the same, and many merchants active in Muldeen have set up bases here to do business in the Kingdom.

After that, small and medium-sized merchants who were planning to make a fortune with their kingdom began relocating their bases here.

As long as the relationship between the Empire and the Kingdom does not deteriorate, there will be no need to worry about this city.

"Well... let's not forget the shape-only inspection..."

Huh?

When I was reassured about the future of the city, Shelley grabbed my collar.

I think it's time you answered.

"Hmm, what...?"

No, it's probably about that...

"It's no use falling in love. If you say you're going to cut white even if you're forced to do so, I won't choose any means."

That's why Shelly pointed the wand I gave you one day at me.

"Hey, wait a minute."

"Don't wait, pick it now.Talk to me, or I'll be fascinated and magically forced to tell you. "

Oh, no. I mean Shelly's eyes.

This leaves no choice.

"... hah, surrender"

I put my hands up and took the surrender pose.

"You mean you can talk to me?"

Ah.

"Great. So what have you been worried about lately... especially since Nelia was born?"

Nelia must have noticed the cause.

"Why do you think that is?"

"After all, Nelia had no magic of aptitude.Something like that? Nothing, unlike before, aptitude magic is not everything that lives in this world, so don't worry about it. "

"No, if that's all I have to say... I won't bother you this much either"

"... then, what kind of trouble are you talking about?"

"Actually, Rose and Nelia were reincarnated."

"... eh? Rose and... Nelia?"

I knew who the trouble seemed to be, but it seemed impossible to imagine that both of them had reincarnated children.

Well, when I first saw it, I doubted the appraisal and my eyes, so it's impossible, so this is a normal reaction.

"Oh, Rose is the queen of the elves, and Nelia has the memory of an incinerator."

"I see... I finally figured out why Rose was so grown up and had magic that I didn't think she was a child.But I don't really feel that way from Nelia. "

"'Cause I'm just born.Besides, I don't think Nelia realized he was a reincarnated person unless she told me. "

Eh, why?

"I've been replacing them many times in a thousand years, and the demon kings and other reincarnated people didn't know who I was.Maybe I'm good at hiding that. "

In fact, Nelia plays a small, grown-up child that doesn't stand out.

When I was a kid, I was doing something very unusual, like walking around freely in the house on the high ground or letting a maid read a book that no ordinary kid could understand.

If we live in peace... maybe Nelia is right.

"I see...."

"That's what this is all about. That's enough, right?"

I lowered my lifted hand and gently wrapped Shelley's hand with my collar.

Hmm.

Guheh

Shelly's head hit my face as hard as I could.

Suddenly, Shelley's hand, holding my collar, wouldn't forgive me.

"Don't lick me.I'm just looking forward to hearing what you might be worried about. "

"Hmm...."

Apparently, Shelley won't be deceived.

"It's your bad habit to try to hold it in by yourself.Don't try to protect your daughters by yourself. "

"... okay, but can you wait a little longer to tell everybody?"

I gave up and decided to tell you everything, and I really wanted to make sure Shelley knew about this before I did.

"Why?"

"I want to pretend I don't know Rose until she turns five... until she finds out the magic of aptitude.Now she's working hard for something.I don't want to interrupt that. "

I don't know if this is the right decision.

But like I did when I was a kid, I want Rose and Nelia to live as they please.

"Yes, I understand. Well, it's about a year away, and that's fine."

"Thank you."

"So... what's bothering Leo?"

"Give me your ear....."

"... really, isn't Leo too much for God?I wonder how much of a challenge Leo would feel if he left? "

When I revealed what was troubling me, Shelley gave me a hard look and hugged me to reassure me.

"I don't know, maybe till I die."

"Fufu, that's a life you won't get tired of."

"Well, thank God."

If you can, I want you to give me a blow to thank you.
