I took my first day off yesterday and tweaked Lil's status with mine.

After that, I went to buy clothes.

I knew if it wasn't for a world like this, I wouldn't be walking with a girl...

If it wasn't for walking with Lil... about the same time you went to pick out beautiful flowers and dreamy birthday presents? That's about it.

Anyway... I just collected the D-rank Demon Nucleus and it became C-rank, and when it became C-rank, I took another request and it became B-rank... and I don't know if it's going to go well, but that's what the ideal looks like.

If the ranks go up, more, you can hear a lot of stories.

Incidentally, the innkeeper extended it for another three days.

I've got a star in the house I'd like to rent… I was hoping to see a little more. Mainly in monetary terms.

Me and Lil are in the carriage right now.

We're going away for work today. It's a day trip.

There are two D-rank demons of sheep like Lampaghe Sharp in Billaghe Village, and the villagers are in trouble.

I got this job because it was a D-rank party or a C-rank adventurer or better - it was an application, the rewards were good, and the materials were good to take home.

"Your husband, the village of Biraghe is in the middle of the village for some reason, the fountain seems famous. You might want to take a look at it after work."

"Really?"

"Oh, that's what my sister at the reception gave me on this paper."

"Okay, we'll see when we have time"

We had a loose conversation like that and spent roughly three hours on a one-way road to the village shaken by a carriage (like a creature).

... Honestly, sometimes I don't know what to tell you.

I left at 8: 00 a.m. and arrived just after 11: 00.

There was really only one big fountain in the village.

We talked to the village chief, asked him where the demon was, and without taking time off, we immediately went on a crusade.

Lil said I didn't have to rest, and I didn't feel like I needed to either.

I was so comfortable in the carriage with the magic room and stuff.

We detected where the D-rank demon was and found it 20 minutes after we started acting.

Two of them were together, sheep.

"Lil, I want to use some new skills. Wait for me there."

"Okay, your husband."

Leaving Lil waiting in the shadows, I approached the sheep in secrecy and summoned a flaming sword.

Something like a sword made of light. It's glowing red.

Exactly, the Lampagesharps noticed me, one of them stormed at me, so I dodged it and chopped my neck off with a flaming sword as it was... no, I melted it off.

There was no blood whatsoever, and the torso and head wounds away were burnt to pieces and blocked.

I'm too scared for this.

I don't think it matters that much anymore about the sharpness or anything because of the firepower. I was sure the sword arm was up...

I saw that. The other one was trying to escape, so the temperature was as high as possible, and the range was reduced. I hit the fireball and I immediately finished it.

"It's over."

"Master Boulder! That's a shame."

"Really? Collect these two bodies and the Demon Nucleus and return to the village."

"Yeah."

When we returned to the village, we showed the two sheep to the village chief and accomplished the request.

We received a reward on the spot and had a treat for lunch.

Looks like the next carriage is coming in an hour, so I decided to wait until then to see the fountain.

"Wahoo. Nice fountain."

"Right..."

"It's thanks to your husband that I'm well, out there, and seeing the fountain."

"Ha, right"

Something... like this, sounds like a date, this.

I knew I wasn't used to it.

Lil is so cute... oh my god, I think about it.

"Your husband, what's wrong?

"Ah... no, what's wrong with me?

"No, somehow... by the way, your husband"

"What?

Turning to Lil, she lifted her neck to fit my gaze and was staring at me.

"Your husband, it's me. I've been reading a few books in the carriage that your husband bought for a dime."

"...? Right"

"So... there was something in one of the books I bought that said what would happen to a defective young woman slave"

Seriously...

Uh... so what do you say? As much as I can remember of the stories I heard from that slave trader, I can only remember when they were bought cheaply by the country...

"Can you keep being put in a locker and committed until you die by important criminals, criminals who run wild if you don't treat them sexually, or can be used as a laboratory for experiments only women can do, or tortured to satisfy the sexual desires of some perverts..."

Soon, Lil's body was trembling.

Maybe that merchant, at the time you left this girl with me, made you avoid that...?

No, I would have told you if business was good, but it turns out I helped Lil.

What am I supposed to do when this happens?

In the meantime, do you want me to hold your hand?

"Wahu... your husband. I'm sorry. I'm scared..."

"It's all right, I won't abandon Lil."

"Yeah. So I want you to let me say one more thing. He said thank you for buying me!

After that, I stayed holding Lil's hand for dozens of minutes. Well, what choice do I have?

A long, short moment soon ended and we took another three hours to get back to the city.

When we get to the city, we come back to the inn room.

"Now two. Eight more?

"Hmm? What are you talking about?

Lil reacts to my soliloquy.

"No, think you can go up to C-rank with eight more D-rank Demon Nukes. Tomorrow I'll be able to hunt D-rank demons like this. Good luck."

"Right, your husband. Raise your rank and come out!

Lil said that with a wave of tail in his skirt, yes, slightly excited.

Then I dismantled the sheep outside the city with Lil and sold it. Turned out to be the money there.

What kind of request shall I take tomorrow...?
