Maou no Hajimekata

"... are you sure you want to take this?

"Whatever."

Oulu nods at Zana's words, which contain even a shudder.

Fire lizards alive, prepared as "Fire Rat Leather Clothes".

"The Ball of the Dragon's Neck" made by scraping out the bones of a true dragon.

A golden branch, created in imitation of "Penglai's Ball Branch".

Merizand's favorite bowl instead of "Buddha's Stone Bowl".

And "The Swallow's Chicken Shellfish," a freakishly unspeakable creature.

The appearance of Oul with those rare five in his arms was something different.

At least it doesn't look very much like a treasure to be offered to God from now on.

Or is a robe that holds its burning lizard without a single scorch so close to a flame rat leather coat?

To name a few, which drove various complaints around the back of his brain, Zana abandoned her penetration.

Because I've been learning late that I can't hold myself even if I'm making a noise to my owl opponent to this extent.

"Well, fine. Let's go anyway."

Besides, Xana thinks.

He is a spicy, chunk of suspicion, as if he were not trustworthy, and doesn't care what he eats.

But... in a way, he is also a trusted master. I was wondering if this guy would do something about it. Yeah, like I'd believe it.

"I won't talk to you."

"Uh!?

So Zana accidentally screamed when Marina responded instantly with a glimpse of what Oul had offered her.

"No... is that surprising? Did you really think something like this was a treasure? Or what? This disgusting creature."

But the words of Marina, which were utterly frightened, were the greatest of things.

"That's in the first place...... Xana. I'm not always watching you when you're not using your powers. So we also know that this is confusing."

Saying, Marina takes the branches of Penglai's balls.

Something different.

So Oul, who kept his mouth shut, opened.

"Watch your mouth. I borrowed Zana's ears and eyes, which means I know you're shielding Zana's safety."

Marina pointing her wand at Oulu and intimidating her. If you know the species, you can protect Zana while killing an oul.

"Didn't you bring what was specified?" Penglai's Ball Branches "in ancient stories. A branch made of gold and silver and pearls by the craftsmen."

"Become... such reasoning...!... So what about the others? Isn't this obviously a rat"

Marina shows fire lizards and solicits them.

"I guess it's a rare beast. Nothing I actually saw would have been incorrectly conveyed when communicating the appearance in the picture of the book. I don't see how the painting was painted."

In contrast, Oul answered that all the time.

"So... how about this dragon neck ball? Didn't you just process the bones? Besides, it's snoring when it comes to balls."

"There are no heroes who can defeat dragons. Dragon carcasses are mostly found dead in the fold of the former Divine Demon War. If you're exposed to windstorms for thousands of years, you'll be rounded with dragon bones."

"What about 'Buddha's Stone Bowl'?

"Undisputed bowl used by the saints. Restraining so much on the difference between a bowl and a bowl wouldn't be essential."

"So... how about 'Kian Shellfish from Swallow'? There's no way these creatures could be called treasures."

"It sure is creepy. But it's more rare than that. No other place will see such creatures."

"It must be because I made it!?

At last I couldn't stand it and Marina screamed.

"Yours! My apprentice! It must be because I made it!?

It was a brilliant scratch, like Zana snorted when she was overheard beside her.

I'll ask you.

But Oul stares up at Marina, who stands on the stage without any dust.

"Where are they when you say 'real'?

In a sharp tone, Marina gets stuck in a response.

"My dungeon is a thumbnail of the world. There are all things there, and all things can be created. Therefore, I am convinced that my men have gathered these to be 'real'."

Oul is mouthing, thinking so from the bottom of his heart. At least, it sounded that way to Zana.

"If you deny it, you prove it. Show me the real thing."

"hey... that's..."

In one word, Oulu and Marina's position was reversed.

"If it's your ability, it's easy to show the real thing, right?

"Can you solve this with your abilities?

Zana remembered that Oulu had asked her that. Insane question asked without any concern, that would render the trial meaningless. But it wasn't.

"─ If it's real, it is."

Knowing that Marina's abilities couldn't solve it, Oul dared ask. To make you think you're unaware that you can't fix it.

That was the fabric stone that made Marina listen for this time.

".............................. would be good. Admit what you have prepared is' real '."

Were you unable to solve it with the best of power, or did you acknowledge the power of Oulu?

"Xana. help him"

Sighing deeply, Marina replies so reluctantly.

"Ok......"

"No."

Oulu's well-traveled voice blocked Zana from snorting.

"What I want is Marina, you"

"Me...?

Marina blinked her eyes at the sharp gaze that shot her through.

"I mean... do you want me to give you direct protection without going through Zana? Unfortunately, I cannot lend my strength to men, goddess of the moon. Do you mind if I give it to your men instead?

"Not so"

Behind the temple, Marina necks slightly dissatisfied as she looks down at the oul from the heightened altar.

"So what does it mean? Speak clearly."

"I thought you said it from the beginning."

Oul said as he climbed the stairs leading up to that altar, peeking into Marina's eyes.

"What I crave is the goddess Marina. Yourself."

"Is...?

"How stupid are you talking about?!

I guess Oulu's intentions are different and Zana releases a kick. But Oul did not turn it around.

"Does that mean you want to hold me?

"I'm not saying I want you to want me to hold anything else...... well, that's what I mean to be blunt"

To a snorting owl, Marina narrows her eyes.

"Don't you think it's unsatisfactory?

"Unexpected. God already has the God of volcanoes, seas and borders as his wife. The difference in character will be the same as the species. And."

Oul looked back and gazed at the items he had brought.

"You admitted that was' real '. That's a sign of the proposal in the first place, isn't it?

"... okay"

Marina puts her finger on the chest of her clothes and makes her look like a pussy.

"Dear Marina!?... Huh!?

Zana screamed at the sight...... and solidified.

"Except"

Marina shows her breasts with a mocking grin.

"If you look at this body, I hope you care about it."

There's nothing there that should be in a woman's body.

Only the ugly scars that cut her breasts instead were spreading.
