"Oh, is Hart-san going to take care of the request?"

Yeah, that's right.

When I was on my way to the seventh quest, Kyoko called me.

"I'm going to go get Takal from Phonost."

Takale is a bamboo-like plant.Takale flocks to Phonost, an island nation in the Far East, and grows to over 100 meters in height.Moreover, the speed at which it begins to grow from the ground is unusual, and if it happens to be on the takal at which it begins to grow, it may be pierced and die.Penetrated humans and animals become a nutrient for tacals.It's a pretty dangerous plant, even though there's a theory that it starts to grow when animals go up.

Takale picking quest rewards are pretty good for danger.Well, maybe it's because the phonost is so far from here.I can use the metastasis to get to Phonost in an instant.And since the status is fixed, there is no need to worry about being penetrated by the tackle.In other words, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a quest for me.

"Well! My concubine was about to do Phonost's bidding.If you don't mind, may I join you? "

"Sure, I'm on my way, are you ready?"

"No problem. Thank you very much."

It looks like Kyoko was also on a Phonost quest, so we decided to transfer them together.

─ ─ ─ ─

"Yes, it's going to suck!"

As I walked through the magical formation, it was in a forest where there was a huge bamboo flock that was invisible at the top.

"I can't believe we're moving this distance from Glendale in a flash...As always, Master Hart's magic is wonderful. "

"Ehehe, thank you. By the way, what does Kyoko do with his phonost?I didn't know where it was, so I brought it to Takal's swarm. "

I was thinking of sending the candle to the destination.

"Actually, the purpose of the concubine is the Takale leaves.Even so, it wasn't the leaves themselves, but the extract extracted from the leaves was the subject of the request. "

"Ah, that's right. I guess I could have completed the quest."

If you are a proper Alliance or Clan, they will tell you what you can do together when you receive a Quest.But the Slime daughters who are receptionists in our clan are inexperienced.It seems that it is not possible to summarize the request or make suggestions that can be done efficiently.I want to look forward to future growth.

"It's been a long time since I've been here.So I kept quiet even though I knew that the same place as Master Hart was the destination. I'm sorry. "

"You wanted to come here?"

If you want to come, I can always bring you in the metastasis.

"If you tell Master Hart, you can bring him in anytime."

"Oh, you read my thoughts?"

Kyoko, a full-bodied nine-tailed fox, has the power to read the human mind.

"Fufufu, you can tell without reading your mind.This is still Master Hart's wife. "

Soyumon?

It's soyu.

"Hmm. Well, no. I wanted to come here more because I missed my hometown?"

"That's true, but...."

Kyoko gets a little stuck in words.

There seems to be something difficult to say.

"I've always wanted to come here.But I don't think I'm qualified to be connected to Master Hart. "

"Qualifications?"

"Can you hang out with me for a moment?"

Kyoko walks between the takals.

I decided to follow after that.

After a while ─ ─

Oh, that?

Is that building...?

I saw a temple I had seen before.

"My concubine died here once."

Kyoko speaks quietly as he looks at the temple, which is about to collapse.

"Apart from the case where Mr. Hart unsealed the seal.My concubine was attacked by an adventurer even before I was born. "

"Yes, it was."

She has been attacked twice by adventurers.

Before the first ioko was born.

The second time I was young.

On the second occasion, Kyoko lost his life, and the body was sealed by Yoko.But since the seal also captured the soul, I was able to revive the candle.

"The first time I was dying, there was a family that helped my concubine."

That's it, Kyoko looks back at me.

With an anxious, crying expression.

"I'm very sorry to tell Mr Hart about this...Yoko is the savior and son of his life. "

Kyoko closed his eyes and leaned.

Waiting for my reaction.

When I said that, I was a little desperate.

Because I had a bad feeling about it.

Not because I knew Yoko's father.

The person who predicted that he might be Yoko's father was the (...), the (...), the (...), the (...), the (...), the (...).

"Oh, oh, thank you for telling me, Kyoko."

My voice trembles.

I can see how upset I am.

The frustration seems to have been perceived by Kyoko in a different sense.

"No, I'm sorry. You still don't want to hear this."

"Oh, no, it's not."

What am I supposed to say?

What should I do?

What am I supposed to do...?

In the meantime, let's listen to Kyoko.

"Back to earlier, why did Kyoko think he wasn't qualified to come here?"

"That's because my concubine hasn't forgotten about the family yet somewhere in her mind."

He answered me with a fading voice.

I'm a little happy.

"Nevertheless, I accept that my concubine is Mr Hart's wife."

Large grains of tears flow through the candle's cheeks.

"My concubine is a nine-tailed fox.You have the power to read the human mind and interfere with it...My concubine couldn't seal her heart.Though I wanted to be by Master Hart's side, there was something about him in my heart ─ ─ "

Kyoko, who always has a clear face, is crying while making his face messy.I couldn't help but love it and hug it.

It took some time for the candle to settle down.

"... I'm sorry, Master Hart."

Are you okay now?

"Yes, thank you."

Kyoko is leaving me.

"My concubine still remembers his family ─ ─ Yoko's father.It was a short time ago, but it was a time of hearts and minds. "

Kyoko looks me straight in the eye.

By the way, I'll keep it a secret that I shouted in my heart, "No, you're on your own!!"

"Could Hart-san accept such a concubine?"

My answer is clear.

"Yeah, I like candles. I love them."

"─ ─ ─!"

"Kyoko is already my wife.Even if there are other people who are worried about me, I'm the best, right? "

"Yes, that's right."

"Well then, it's no problem. If you can't forget about the people, you can still feel that way in the future.I'll try to make him forget about me. "

I gave you my answer.

Take your time and forget about it.

"No, my concubine came here today to apologize and say goodbye to him."

"Farewell?"

I don't think I need to say goodbye.

I hope you like him as he is.

"Um, well... I've been watching Tina and Yoko look forward to having a baby lately, and my concubine ─ ─"

No way!?

"My concubine will never forget that family.But if Hart-sama will forgive me, my concubine wants to lay skin with Hart-sama. "

Oh, shit.

A full-bodied nine-tailed fox is fully open and using charm.

The status is fixed at 12313; it shouldn't work for me, but (...) it will attack me with all its strength.

It's a tayu or an alley.

I slept with Kyoko once before the demon crusade.

At that time, Kyoko said no, so I put up with it.

I put up with it.

"I want to do it" from the candy side....

That's enough, isn't it?

I blew everything out.

The body at that time was not mine now, so I decided to be safe.

That's why it's all falling apart!

"If Kyoko is okay, I want to be Kyoko."

Oh, thank you very much.

How about tonight?

Her face turned bright red and she leaned over.

Still, I didn't miss hearing her say "yes" small.

And then ─ ─

Keep your mouth close to the candle's ear.

"My name is Psycho."

Two hundred years ago, he whispered my name to a woman.
