Monster no Goshujin-sama

Seven.

When I had Lily magically prepare the water, I told Kato to clean his body and left the cabin one foot away.

As a help, I have left Rose.

Because I thought Rose, whose figure was different from people's, would be easier for her to expose herself too.

Kato himself refused to need help, but accepted my suggestion several times.

I don't know if this is the right decision, man.

Not to mention, given that half the purpose of putting Rose on her was her surveillance, I couldn't tell her that this was for her, even if her mouth was torn.

"Your husband. Are you sure you want to take that kid?

"All of a sudden that's it"

As soon as I left the cabin, Lily asked with a slightly restrained voice, so I laughed bitterly.

"Don't laugh, no more"

"Bad"

Lily is pointy with her cherry blossom lips, as if she were obstinate.

Doing so, she looked terribly young.

"Are you unhappy with my judgment?

"I wouldn't disagree with your husband's decision."

"That's not an answer to my question."

Lily obeys me because I've made up my mind, but I'm not convinced.

I've been anticipating and asking when we were alone like this, probably because I couldn't stand it.

Of course, I don't feel uncomfortable because they disagree.

Because I knew that the reason I was unhappy was because I would be in danger.

"Stand up for nothing. But protect him, I'm not saying anything. I don't mind if I can afford it. You should think of yourself first, and then I, and thirdly, you should care about Kato. See. The priorities are simple, aren't they? You can't go wrong."

"I'm suddenly wrong about the first and second of the order, though."

"Anyway, she doesn't have the strength to fight herself."

Deciding that this story would probably be a parallel line, I move on.

"I can't imagine her becoming a danger to us herself. Her accompaniment will give her some minor inconveniences, but I think this one is acceptable"

"Conversely, even though it's somewhat inconvenient, I'm going to protect you, right? See, you think you're hiding who I am?"

"If you're cramped, you don't mind falling apart. It doesn't make so much sense. Just in case."

"It's out of the question, sir. I won't let you be deluded."

Lily looked more anxious than dissatisfied.

"Is that girl that important?

"It's not."

I stroked my beautiful flax head.

"I think what I want to protect is something I'm not sure of."

"Something?

"Yesterday, I protected Kato. Momentum, but it will come to pass, but whatever it is, it doesn't change the fact that you protected her. It's irresponsible to throw away the cat you picked up again - what a cliché to metaphor. I have a responsibility, and I have to live up to it."

I think...

I think it might be more accurate.

The reason for this would never be morality or ethics. Anyway, I've already committed the contraindication of killing three human beings.

So why?

Even if they ask me that, I don't know my heart.

So all I can say is' something '. That's what happened.

"Your husband..."

Lily glanced at me in her big eyes and said something, laughing a little troubled if she couldn't find the words.

"Your husband is serious."

"Boring is often said"

"That's not true."

It was a conversation I remember feeling nostalgic somewhere.

"Your husband doesn't."

Lily tried to push her head against my arms.

"So yeah. If it's for your husband, I can protect him too."

"Right."

I rubbed my cheeks against her flax hair.

"Thanks"

It was strange.

When I said I was in such a dangerous forest, all I felt at this time was nothing but happiness.

Probably, but when I take away 'something' that I don't want to lose, these hours are gone...

Think about that, just vaguely.

And then I realized.

If that's the right thing to do, then perhaps what I really want to protect is a piece of this undivided happiness.

We left the cabin waiting for Kato to finish cleansing his body.

"Have you forgotten anything? I'm not going back to this place, so if you have anything, bring it all."

"... Yes"

"Is that it? Is your husband going to give up this cabin?

Lily, who has been holding my arm since this morning, asks me from the diagonal bottom.

Kato glanced at Lily.

But I won't say anything.

She asks nothing.

It's not like Lily, who looks like a student who has moved from Japan to Japan with us, is suspicious that she is calling me "her husband" who should be the same student.

Yet what is the intent of not asking anything so far?

I'll think about it, but I don't get an answer.

I guess you should ask, but there's also the word "snake."

Also, if that's not a good thing, there's no way to answer honestly. It wouldn't make sense from what I've heard.

Somehow, it's teethy.

Whether it's Lily, Rose, we're connected by a pass, so we're somehow communicating, and most importantly, I trust them.

In that sense, Mr. Kato's presence was stressful.

Nevertheless, it was also known that accompanying humans would have such consequences.

Do we have to be patient here?

"Your husband."

"Oh, uh, yeah"

Cut up an idea that has no benefit, and I turn my face to Lily.

"There was something stretched out in this cabin like a junction that kept the monsters away. But now it doesn't either. I don't even have to bother to make the base stand out like this."

Monsters aren't the only ones I'm wary of. Humans were also virtual enemies to me.

In that regard, this mountain hut was too evil noticeable.

I just have to keep in mind that I need to make contact with a human being once to have her pattern protected more than I have Mr. Kato.

The best thing to do is to discover the human population here and see if we maintain discipline, so we only send Kato out without coming into contact with them.

Well, it won't work that well.

"Well, let's go."

"Yeah."

"... Yes"

With the approval of Lily, who is healthy, and Kato, who is downer in contrast, we left the cabin behind.

Led by Rose, who is avant-garde, Lily, who has a means of ranged attack, serves as a rear guard and two escorts for me and Kato, and goes on through the deep woods.

"Mr. Kato. Walking in the woods is a strain on your body. Tell me as soon as you're tired."

"No. It's okay, it is.... excuse me"

"Your husband isn't tired?

"Oh, I'm fine"

Lily the boulder, too, is now letting go of my arm.

Perhaps it has been noticed through the pass that I feel sorry for the plumage that leaves me.

Only at times like this do I find that inconvenient... I may be a little too selfish.

Without encountering the monster, we found the anomaly when we walked for hours or so with several breaks.

"... rotten odor?

I accidentally wrinkled my nostrils and crushed them.

Something smelled as strong as rot.

"What are you going to do, sir?

"Right."

I am the leader of this line.

I'm a pitiful leader who can't even defend himself satisfactorily, but I have to make up my mind. You can't just rely on Lily or Rose for all this.

It's good to have been able to detect the anomaly.

But now, what is it?

Getting close could be dangerous.

But there's no place in this forest that's not dangerous.

Because the abnormality is obvious to me easily, it is also considered less dangerous for me to be able to sneak a sneak peek into the situation.

"Let's go"

All I was thinking about was a few seconds.

"Is that okay with you, Kato?

"... Yes"

We turned to the smell of our noses bending.

The smell of that thick forest gradually pushes me away.

So much so that we discovered that there were scattered bodies that appeared to belong to about five students.

The cause that has become the ambiguous way of saying the five 'about' also appears in the word 'scattered' which should not have been used.

"This is... terrible"

Their bodies existed as scattered pieces of flesh.

From a little further away, after a little curiosity, we decided that the threat was no longer there, and we set foot on the scene.

"It's like I saw it, but the big beast ate me to death, like?

Lily guessed the cause of death I didn't know.

"You mean the monster hit me"

"Maybe."

"Right. If you look into it, you might find out something a little bit more."

And when I approached the body, I put my feet together.

Unlike before Miho Mizushima, the body has elapsed time after death.

Corruption was going on, and the body wanted a fly.

I've already been through murder, but this kind of thing seems to be a little different on its own again.

But this is something we have to do.

The fact that people are dying here means that a clear threat exists.

This tragedy will be caused by eighty-nine monsters, but it is possible, for example, that this is a crime committed by a monster I have never heard of in a colony.

Regret does not stand first, even if it is the feather of death for not getting tips here.

"Then we'll find out.... What is it, Rose?

I had taken a step back in my mind, but a wooden hand stuck out in front of me and I was going to hold my leg again.

Instead, Rose stepped forward.

"Wait, you're gonna do this?

Pass passed and the willingness to affirm returned.

"Oh, hey..."

Rarely did Rose move out before she got my consent, and she started testing the bodies.

She shut up... naturally because she couldn't speak, but began to examine the bodies of the scattered students.

From that back I could even feel a sense of duty that I had to do this.

"Hey. Shouldn't Rose have the escort go around and I check it out? It's easy to report to your husband later."

Lily suggests, but Rose also controls it by hand.

Rose quickly checks the legacy side by side.

We were supposed to see it a little further away.

While I was doing so, I was completely conscious of the body in front of me.

If you think about it later, it must have been a deadly gap.

To the point where you could even lose your life.

"Your husband!

Lily accidentally raised her voice sharply and vigilantly.

Even though it was a marginal departure from caution, only minimal vigilance worked, and my body responded painfully to the warning.

"Nah -!?"

Looking back, I saw something jumping out of the bush.

"Hey!

And when I saw it, Lily was thrusting into something of it.

Literally.

I didn't have time to use magic.

I guess I didn't use the spear in my hand because then I decided that I couldn't reliably hold off the raider's advance.

"Guru!

"Shah!?

A light lily was bounced off, but the raiders were also off course again.

The "fangs" that were after me bite each other fifty centimeters away.

Signs land and get in shape.

In the meantime, I was very successful in setting up my shield.

Someone jumping at me. By the time I recognized it as a gray wolf, the wolf had already flown away.

I kept my shield pointed at you and set myself up for impact.

And - clash.

"Grr, ooh!?

It was only for a moment that there was equilibrium.

I am pushed down, and fall to the ground on my back.

This was a bad rush. At that time, there was a roaring sound of air.

"Wow!"

I lose the power I've been holding onto unexpectedly.

I was in a hurry to get in shape.

I saw a wolf landing a little distance away.

Almost at the same time, Rose rushed to me, who should have been a little further away.

"Thanks, Rose."

There was no axe in her hand. Apparently, when she saw my predicament, she threw her axe at the wolf. I was helped, but as a result, the only thing Rose is equipped with now is a shield.

"Gururu..."

Grey wolves roaring.

This guy is definitely supposed to be a monster called 'Fire Fang' in the colony. Its characteristics are as the name suggests…

"Be careful. Rose, the flames are coming!

And as I cried out, the wolf spread his mouth wide.

"Ahhhhhh!

Red flames that are thrown out like flame radiation.

Without cowardice Rose comes forward and takes the flame with a shield.

A flame is blocked only for a moment, but a more indefinite flame than the original breaks through Rose's protection.

There's a red flame spreading in my present, and...

"Wow... ahhhhh!?

- Just before I was swallowed by the flames, my body was exposed from the side.

"Your husband! safe!?"

"Is that Lily!?

It was Lily who now tightened her sweet, tidy look that helped me.

Earlier, after he helped me out of the unexpected, he quickly rebuilt himself and saved me from the impending flames.

"Bad, Lily. Thanks."

"Glad you're safe."

Lily runs with me and Kato behind her.

"Rose, hold your feet for a little while!

Lily gives sharp instructions.

Rose holds his feet on the spot and receives Fire Fang's spitting flames with his shield. Stand still, block Fire Fang's path, and do not allow him to follow us.

The favorite shield built by Rose himself, despite being made of wood, never burned up for magical effects. It prevents the majority of the flames.

After we pulled out of range, Rose moved from defense to evasion.

Fire Fang's flames are after her, but she's distracted by the tatters.

Magical puppets are more defensive than they look. The flames should have roasted the rose less, but as far as the current dodging motion goes, the damage seems to be less.

I stroked my chest down with relief.

"Master, that guy, you can take him down, right?

Lily, who brought us down to the ground, drew a magic formation on her palms.

"Allow it! He can't be a family member!

"Copy that!"

The magic formation of Lily's palm shone bright blue.

- As far as I know, magic requires a magic formation.

The colors of the magic formation determine the magical attributes, the magnitude determines the magical power, and the depicted shapes determine the magical properties.

These things have people who stick to them if they do, and in less than a month's time in different worlds of life, the general classification of combat magic is over. For example, a magic formation of about thirty centimeters in diameter would have a first staircase, a killing capacity of about a small pistol… etc.

Lily's magic, created in seconds, is the watermagic of the second staircase.

He had the ability to kill large shotguns for hunting and was given the nature of a sword.

Three swords of water appear in the air and fly like falcons.

"Guruuuuuuu!

If I had, it would have been an ejection at a rate that would not have caught my eye, but Fire Wolf turned himself over and avoided it when he stopped spitting out the flames.

But that was how Lily behaved as planned.

"Gha!?

Rose's thrown shield struck Fire Wolf's nose once in a while.

... I don't care, Rose throws things a lot.

By the time such a swallowing thought came to my mind for a moment, Rose was attacking Fire Wolf, who had fallen ill in the air.

It was Rose who let go of her weapon, but her opponents are assembled before she is satisfied with herself in the air, unable to show off her pride of speed.

Rose tightens the wolf's body to the side and holds it to the ground.

There was a scream with Gyangi.

In the colony, Fire Fang was supposed to be a more dangerous monster than a magical puppet, so I glanced at Rose flying unarmed for a moment, but apparently this would be fine.

Caress your chest down.

Originally, the real horror of Fire Fang is making herds like wolves. Things around there may have brought victory to Rose.

At the end Lily mowed her neck with wind magic and Fire Fang was out of breath.

"... done, or"

I finally breathed out the breath I was packing after seeing it through to the end.

My heart is bouncing so hard that I don't like it. I found my expression to be tense.

"A little hysterical, I guess.... Kato, are you okay?

"... Yes"

Kato snorted.

The expression fades slightly. I would have liked this and come by.

"I'm stuck... I'm sorry"

"No. That's because I'm the same."

As I answered, I made my expression bitter.

Previous fights with Magical Papettes have led the way, but naturally, there is a chance that this one will be raided. I knew it, but it was a miscalculation that our foot wraps would pull our feet so far.

I was lucky to be cut through.

Of course, with Lily and Rose's dedication.

And you're lucky to have hunted Fire Fang. Now you may be able to get a sense of smell of Fire Fang by Lily's pseudo abilities.

Unfortunately, there was no information obtained from the students' bodies.

But this one doesn't matter because I didn't expect much from the beginning. Probably got hit by Fire Fang earlier.

We proceeded through the woods with care, but that day we met no more monsters, and we returned to the cave.
