Master’s Smile

I wasn't expecting anyone to call our names here, so I'm a little surprised.

We live in the shadows of a dark guild. People who know us are limited because they have lived in such a way that no one in the world on the table can know us.

If these adventurers were to call us at the gathering place...

"Long time no see, Master! Solgros!"

I knew it, you guys. Long time no see.

I smile at multiple people approaching me.

A red-haired boy who walks ahead and gives us a radiant smile.

His name is Lucille, and he's a boy that Sorgross and I once acted together on a request.

"Oh, Lord Lucille. Could the Alliance have survived?"

"Whoa! After that, the rookie came in!

If Sorgross listens, Lucille laughs happily and offers two boys and girls.

They looked nervous and bowed their heads to me and Sorgross.

Heh, that's good. Because I cared too. [M]

There was once a promise to Apollo, the man who led the Lucilles...

Yeah, more than anything.

Plus, Lucille's getting a little bigger.

"Wow, stop it! I'm not a kid anymore!

When I stroke your head, that's what I tell you, Lucille.

But I didn't try to get my hands on it with a slightly happy look.

"... I don't know who you are, but I envy you"

Laradi groans bossly.

... Later, I'll stroke your head.

"Oh, you know, doctor......!

... Doctor?

When I heard the words I couldn't hear and turned around, there was a girl with red hair there, just like Lucille.

Oh, Lucica. You're feeling better.

"Ha!"

Lucica, the girl who gives me a radiant smile.

The requests Lucille and Apollo made to us were meant to help her encroached upon by the curse.

Although there was an excessive bend, Laradi's nectar turned out to be an elixir and gave it to him...

Apparently, he's completely resurrected.

"... don't let it slip, don't let it slip..."

It's been a long time since Ildo's been here either.

"... Yes"

If I laughed at Lucille and the young man who was there behind Lucica, he replied with white eyes.

... Why White Eyes?

Ill. A hallucinogenic magic user who once belonged to the Dark Alliance, the Iron Queen.

I was asking him to help me with Lucille and the others, but apparently he's doing well.

"... they would have killed me if I refused."

"It's obvious. Without the mercy of his master, he would be poisoned with dramatic drugs."

"Hih...!

Solgloss breaks the shape of his left hand and drips the drool and the liquid.

When the droplets fell, the ground made a noise and dissolved.

Sorgross!

Still, it's been a long time. Are you going on an expedition?

"Whoa! I'm not interested in the Demon King Army or anything. If you're talking about humans as enemies, you're going to fight them sooner or later..."

"Because your brother says this, and you can't leave him alone"

It follows Lucille, who says with a delightful grin, with Lucica laughing like she was in trouble.

Hmmm... it's like these kids' thoughts...

"Hey! Why are you saying something like my guardian!

"No. Lucille's older, but Lucica's actually like your sister."

"Ill, temee!!

Lucille and Ill start working together.

No, because this is the royal castle. For once, remember that properly.

... Plus, Lucica's role as Lucille's stopper is something I knew as soon as I heard the conversation.

But are you guys sure you're okay?

I think the Demon King's army is actually quite strong, don't you think?

If you stay close to me, I think I can protect you...

I was worried and said this to them. [M]

I know Lucille and Ill have the fighting ability there.

But the opponent is an army of demons who alone can fight more than on par with various nations.

It's not as dangerous as anything......

But they laughed as if to pay for my concern. [M]

"Hey, Master! We're already fine adventurers!?

"I don't think we can get along like your brother, but we've grown up, too. I'd like to show that to your doctor in this battle."

I was struck like I had been hit in the head with a gatun.

... Oh well. You guys can say that now, right?

I was feeling sober. [M]

Yeah, yeah, kids grow up fast.

And don't worry too much.

Sorgross can help you when you have to.

"... Huh?

Huh?

Solgloss floats under the cloth with his eyes open and a look like what he doesn't know about it.

Yeah... you don't think anything of Lucille and the others...?

And, but I didn't expect you to meet Lucille and the others.

Maybe I'll meet Mahoe and Yut who went back to the other world.

That's what I said and laughed at Laradi...

"... eh"

What. What's that disgusting face...?

I'm amazed at Laradi for distorting her blatantly adorable expression.

Well, I think it'll take a little longer for the Mahoes to come to this world again.

Transition magic like that across the world consumes a lot of magic, too.

With that in mind, somehow it's noisy where the Queens of Nina are.

"Ri, litter!? What's wrong with you?

I hear Queen Nina's hasty voice.

Looking at you, Litter, who was supposed to be holding back on her side, came running over here with a expressionless and powerful face.

Hey, what's up?

"Shit! You're finally getting impatient!

"Well, I don't think he should have been the perfect Ritter for the master."

"Master...... Huh!!

Laradi and Sorgros are in interception position for some reason.

Litter has her eyes glued, but she still shows me all over her eyes.

... Scary.

"After all, it's funny around the master"

... Well, I guess I won't be bored.

That's how I smiled back at Remill's voice from the pendant.
