Isekai Shoukan wa Nidome Desu

"- - It's over?

"Hmm?"

Leviath jumping off the roof lands next to me. Shironeko doesn't move with his head stuck in a private house.

"There's no sign of anything moving..."

"... why don't we just pull it out"

I walk over to the giant silo cat, gripping the hair on its head and stepping on it. With a slight resistance to me, my head slipped out, and when I let go of my head, I lay on the ground with a blunt sound. Then the body glows and returns to its original human form.

"Stun... you are"

"Well, I don't remember hitting you with such a strong force..."

"You're always bad at adding and subtracting... it's time to be aware..."

I'm stunned... I'm still trying, aren't I?

"But damn, I wanted to ask you about this black robe..."

Flatter the black robe of the silonette falling on your back. I knew it was the same robe as that shadow bastard no matter how many times I saw it. I'm pretty sure this guy is involved with them.

"Peel yourself once - - go!?

Suddenly something hit my head and I raised my voice unexpectedly. There's a stone falling nearby, but could this be it?

"Setsu... they're surrounded."

"What?"

I'm surprised to look around. Old and young beasts, it stood to surround us. Apparently he's a resident living here...

What can I do for you?

Ask the kid who would probably have been the one who threw the stone at you. The kid was staring at us with an angry look.

"How dare you have a silo cat!!

"Ah? This is the guy you've been calling?

I objected to the kid doing the most irrational thing.

"The kind of guy who comes in with a kill intent, you just can't leave him alone, can you?

"Ugh!! Honestly, I'm dying!!

Hey, listen to me, old man...

I stared at the old man yelling behind the kid.

"Why do you have that attitude... this guy beat this kid? Isn't it the Beast who sends respect to the strong?

"I respect that man!! But not this time!!

An aunt who grew cat ears answers Leviath's questions. Oh, my God. That's not what I said.

"I don't need to defeat Shironeko!!... of Shironeko... my sister..."

Sister?

I doubt the words of an old man who somehow cries out in regret.

"- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

"How dare you..."

It was one man who pulled the hedge apart and showed up.

"You're the innkeeper, aren't you?

"Oh, guys, break it up... we can't beat this guy either, can we?

"Knock..."

So said the inhabitants, laying face to face with remorse, leave each and every one of them on this occasion. I always give up on this guy's face...

"Are you going to explain this to me?

"Oh, we're gonna head back to the inn for a little while."

That said, the pavilion owner walks in the direction of the boarding house with the fallen silo cat in charge.

Me and Leviath looked at each other and decided to follow him for now.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Hmm... the Lord's beloved man is still out of standard..."

Someone watched Setsu following the pavilion owner of the inn from the roof of a private house a little further away. His voice is high, he wears a black robe and a hood, but his characteristic roundness shows him to be a woman.

"Nevertheless, if they do this easily, they'll have to dispose of it just as well"

Croydogs make brutal decisions as they gaze at the silonettes they are in charge and transported. In fact, I'm not ordered to dispose of it if I lose, but from her falling into the category of loyalty to Winter Truth, that's a good reason to consider it useless at the time of loss. And a woman named Chloe is a woman who thinks that nothing useful to him should exist.

"Yes... let's dispose of it at any rate along with our troublesome sister (...). Punish me for not being helpful..."

That's what I left behind. The cloinu disappeared into the city at night with a light body-

◇ ◇ ◇

"- - Sister?"

"Oh, Sironeko has one sister"

The inn we decided to stay in, we were gathered in one of the rooms. The pavilion owner and we are sitting in a chair, and Shironeko is sleeping in the bed in this room.

"What happened to him?

"... the hostages are taking me, my sister Minneko."

"To whom is that?

"It was the guys in the black robes. He was seen a lot in this city, and he always had a bad vibe."

I knew it...... the black robe guys.

"Hostages aren't taken away either."

"What do you mean?"

"Mineco is ill, and it seems that it has no chance of healing because of the gradual loss of body power. I hear there are medicines that slow its progression..."

"... I see it's the black robe that has it?

"You know. And I hear the directive this time was to raid you."

Does that mean Shironeko didn't attack me because he wanted to? I knew the leader of the black robe would come all the way after me... but I don't want to think about it -

You look pale, Setsu.

"... oh, I just don't want to remind you of him. I just remembered his face"

"Keep talking, are you okay?

I shake my head and pay for bad thoughts. It's not like I've decided he's alive. Hey, you shouldn't care until you're sure.

"Oh, please continue"

"Okay. That's why we were asked to help. Shironeko is the closest thing in the neighborhood, and we all ate it if we could help him."

"So you were evacuating, right?

"Yeah, it looks like they were all worried about him after all."

Well, that's why you got surrounded right away.

"I sold you guys to Shironeko too, I think I sucked as an innkeeper. I'm sorry."

"That's enough...... but I felt like there were a lot of guys with silo cat shoulders..."

"Because my sister Minneko is involved... Shironeko and Minneko are characteristic of their breath that fits perfectly. Those two tugs are enough to scratch the Beast King."

Ho... that's awesome. Being scratched by the Beast King proves that you have SSS or higher strength in this world. Because the kings of this world, other than Distinia, which is the land of man, are both out of standard. Even if it takes a few SSS classes for the two of them, they probably can't defeat it. And I can't even hurt myself with SSS. To put it this far, it will be easy to understand the strength of the two of us.

Well I'm not going to lose even if it takes two Kings like that... but you're going to be hurt.

"If we're both the strongest, we'll have to respect both of them, won't we?

"Well...... right"

"For now, as long as she's threatening me, Sironeko can't be free... unless one day his illness suddenly heals..."

……

I get up in silence and walk over to Shironeko. The girl in front of her, who is resting regularly, looks like a chunk of immature childhood. I'll hold it tight. You're the one holding the princess. And it's light, yet how can it be strong? Maybe I've come to this world and had this question many times. Elka and Tia, who were companions of the journey, Dezas, the demon king, and Alize, the disciple. Where does he always have that kind of power?

Hmm? Leviath? The body is no-can because it has the right mass for it.

"Hey, where's this guy's house?

"Ma'am, it's out of town... are you willing to take Shironeko there?

"Oh. I could have been a little concerned. Leviathan, let's go."

The sky is starting to whiten thinly. Sounds like you've been talking a lot, the night's about to dawn. Luckily I am not sleepy because I took plenty of naps.

"Yep..."

"If you walk out now, you won't have time for that sister to wake up."

You won't be awake anyway, so you don't need to hurry. But... I have a few things to think about. I'd also like to walk a little to sort it out.

"Bye, Pavilion Master, let's go. You're not selling customers and taking money, are you?

"Heh... sort of"

Shit, he said he got away with it - - but he turned his back on me. I think that business guts belong inside, huh?

Me and Leviath laugh bitterly while we stay behind the inn. I'm tired of my arms, so stop holding the princess, carry the silo cat, and walk through the quiet city.

"Why are you heading to that kid's house?

Leviath walking beside me asks, glancing at Shironeko's sleeping face.

"... I was wondering if I might be able to help that sister."

"Ha... you know what?"

He sighed like he was stunned by my answer. That should be it too, because I'm trying to do what I was told not to do a lot a few days ago again.

"I'm not stopping you anymore... it's useless..."

"Wretched. But... - Enough to protect one family, right?

You can't abandon a family that suffers in front of you... -
