When I was walking, my uncle, who I kind of don't know, pushed my young child in desperate shape.

The kid looks asleep, wearing gray discreet clothes, but his face makes him feel a glowing thing that looks promising in the medium future.

She was a toddler with an even face so much as a semi-long hair of flowing blonde if combed with sarah, white skin characteristic of a toddler with mochings and elasticity, still young but making me wonder if she would be a beautiful girl inside.

But that's all. She looks cute, and I think she'll be hot for many heterosexuals in the future, but that's all in the end. This child is just a human being, a young child, only a fragile being.

If I care about it, it's just like losing my life easily. At this time, all the authority to rob this young child of his life was in my hands.

"Tight you, what's that? Kids?"

"Yeah, sounds like it...... apparently they pushed me into trouble"

Leila makes sure she peeks from behind and sees the young lady held in my arms. Troublesome things pushed me, I honestly do.

I live to the fullest, and I'm overwhelmingly fatherless and inexperienced enough to raise a child. I know, but I also read a how-to book for parenting, when I was in elementary school. I know everything from changing diapers to dealing with night crying, well I don't seem to get a chance to use it.

Either way, I can't raise a child, and I can't afford to.

"Sounds cold, but I think I'll turn this kid around somewhere..."

"... shouldn't I eat? I haven't tasted you lately, so I'm desperate..."

"So you say you can lick it."

"Well, because... I'm embarrassed... that I can't be thrilled to try to touch you..."

"Maiden or you"

Something looks like a maiden that Layla falls in love with, but I don't know what happened. Speaking of which, it said something about 'The Devil's Beloved' in the title part.

Maybe Leila's impression of me has changed from Favorite Predator to Favorite. During the battle with the Apostle, Leila said I would protect her or something, and she may have grown fond of her around the corner.

Well, it's just a guess, and I can't conclude poorly because I've had the experience of misbehaving like a girl and embarrassing her later.

At that time, the other girl acted deliberately and thought she was called in to confess, because a few of the girls I was waiting for mocked me. I hoped they all liked me. I was the fool.

"But you can't eat it."

"Uh, mmm... ok, I'll be patient"

It's strangely clear. Not long ago, eh! No, I want some! Or so I'm going to say.

Maybe Leila is changing a little bit too. I've been moving with instinct and desire until now, but maybe because I became S-ranked and started thinking about a trade-off choice of behavior, I made people remember that self-control and reason mostly make them put up with their desires.

Well, aside from that, I don't know what I'm gonna do with this kid, but I think I'm gonna ask Leishe for her opinion first. If she was studying knights, she'd know how to handle strays like this.

Throw it away, keep it with the knight, or you'll have to make a choice that won't hurt me. I don't want to be punished if I abandon my child, or if I leave it with a knight, this child will be disposed of like a so-called health center, and I don't want to suffer bad aftertaste developments.

"Leila, let's just go get everything we need on schedule. We're gonna have to make sure we have feet to get around, and we're gonna need food and camping gear... first things first."

"Yeah, okay... Ugh, maybe a little cute when you look at it kind of good"

"You were about to eat earlier, weren't you?

I'm trying to wake up to some weird motherhood.

"Hmmm...... I don't have a budget to worry about..."

Then, using the cloth purchased at the grocery store around the area, he bracketed the child on his back and resumed his search for essentials for the trip. Now I come to a store where I can buy camping gear, but even cheap stuff is pretty expensive.

Apparently, in my earnings since I became an adventurer, food was a little short of money to secure my camping tools and feet, even if I could purchase it.

In the meantime, I could buy food that can be stored for a long time for a week, but it seems difficult to secure camping tools and feet after all. I've run out of money already. I can't seem to get my hands on the camping tools in front of me that I'm still looking at.

"Oh, so I'll let you out?

"Huh?"

Then, unexpectedly, Leila said that from the side.

When she takes out her guild card, she cleverly lifts the simple cookware and sleeping bags in front of her. And I took it straight to the front of the shopkeeper standing at the counter and offered him my guild card.

When the store owner receives it, he does some processing and returns the card to Leila. When Leila signed some form, she came back with the product she had taken. I think I could have bought it.

"Leila, what's that?

"Huh? I just bought it with my guild card, didn't I?

If you're curious and ask Leila, in this world, shopping in exchange for cash is common, but adventurers can keep the money they earn in their guild. They have a system that looks like a bank.

In that system, you use guild cards when withdrawing or depositing money.

In fact, they're also using this guild card, a kind of simple demon guide, and they're using some of the demon guide's formulas that can be viewed for status.

With that effect, unless the registered name matches the name of the owner, the guild card will not show any information about the subscriber.

However, because it may be registered under a pseudonym, in the case of pseudonym registration, it is said that the disclosure of the information of the registrant is set by the magic match of the registrant.

For the first about an hour after issuing the card, if the owner carries it all the time, they automatically register the magic of the cell phone.

Because no one is human and has no magic, more or less, because they have magic, and they seem to sense it.

Well, in the case of magic registrations, I have to be careful not to be taken or lost for an hour.

That's why, if the name and rank are displayed on the guild card, it is proof that the card and the owner match.

It makes effective use of it to form a banking system. Apparently, the money deposited with the guild can be used for various purchases by presenting the guild card like a credit card in the meantime.

Well, there's a process to get the buyer to sign a receipt and other documents, but seeing that you don't have to give out all the cash, it's convenient because you can make smooth accounting.

By the way, it seems that it was the brave men of earlier generations who created this system.

Everything seems to have been excellent in terms of things making and research, and the Demon King Crusade was also challenged by creating an overwhelming mass demon guided weapon or something. Apparently, when it comes to brave men, their unique skills are not exclusive to the 'Light of Hope'.

"Hmmm...... it is. But you got enough money?

"Yeah, because I didn't get any money from the requests I made by the time I got to the C-rank... maybe I could buy a few for a little house position"

"It's also... as reliable as you can"

I feel kind of like Leila's hippo, but it's my fault. Let's make some good money and give it back next time. Even though I have a lot of money, my rice grain pride won't allow me to sweeten Leila's generosity. I don't like hippos.

"In the meantime, I'll pay for the journey."

Damn, Leila lost it to economic power like she didn't have some kind of ability to live. Something's regrettable, I know you're saying it generously, but something like this - I don't know what else to do at all. You look like a face that feels like ♪ already.

That's just what I feel, but a great sense of defeat.

"... Nice to meet you"

Still, that's what I had to say. The power of money, it was the moment I felt awesome again.

◇ ◇ ◇

Then, Leila and I bought what we needed for our journey.

Food, cookware, sleeping bags, lanterns, etc., but the most surprising thing is the rental carriage. It was so expensive. Thank you Leila, I thought you were going to give me that kind of money lightly. The boulder is a C-rank adventurer.

By the way, they should return this carriage to the rental carriage store in the next city. I guess it expands widely into the surrounding city.

So, I came back to the weapons store where I met up because I was almost done shopping. By the way, I left the carriage at the stable. Well, it's like a parking lot, it takes money, but it's a place where you can keep your horses.

In front of the weapons store, there was already Leishe. When I saw that there was no luggage other than the sword, I could probably take the inn.

"Leishe."

"Hmm, tightly Leila... looks like you're done shopping."

"Yeah, for once."

Leila manipulates food and camping tools, so it was easy to carry. Honestly, the reaction of the people in the city was faint even when I looked at them.

It seems that it is possible to explain the application of wind magic and so on, and when it comes to inherent skills even if it is not, it seems that the general events can be explained. It's so appropriate around here.

"We got the inn once, and the quality is as good as the inn we stopped at when we were in Miniera."

"Enough."

"... So, what's with the kid on your back? Trouble again?

"Yeah, well, I'll explain the details in the inn for now."

"... well, then follow me. Guide us to the inn."

Leishe seems to understand that I get tangled up in trouble quite often, and she looks at the toddler on her back and gives me a frightened look.

Well, "Red Night" or the Apostle, it's good because it's not as much trouble as bravery. It's cute, if only to the extent that one child was pushed. It's not normal.

"You're tough, you're tough."

"What? Leila."

"This Kid Hopefully Nippled ♡"

"You're a demon, aren't you?

What the hell, I hope you don't suddenly wake up to motherhood. You don't know Leila in a different way anymore.

With that in mind, I sighed heavily again.
