Monster no Goshujin-sama

Eleven.

Our journey to the North was smooth.

Garbera, who is white Arakune as his maximum power, Lily, who simulates Fire Fang's sense of smell as an enemy personnel, Rose, who makes us fight solid battles as human walls - breaking down this formation was not something that could be done to a few monsters at best that we encounter occasionally.

I'd like to add a new pair of people to work here somehow, but so far there have not been any occasions where they might be active.

Of course, I'd be luckier not to encounter such an occasion, but the truth is that I can't just say yes. I've never gone beyond expanding my power for a time of need.

I digested my day's journey today, and after dinner, I was testing Assalina and I assumed to fight.

"... Gu"

"Wait a minute. Because I'll be cured soon."

Seeing me bite my back teeth into the pain, Lily lodged a healing magic formation at her fingertips.

The affected area is Asalina's left arm.

Warm light relieves stiff pain in the joints a little.

But the eyebrows I pulled remained intact.

"... problem,"

My mouth is strangely bitter. I didn't know. The voice color was like a groan.

Leaving Arakune's nest, I started training every night to fight Asalina, and today is the third day.

It was still difficult to give detailed instructions to the subject, but a simple order was becoming communicated via a path without having to be oral.

Regarding this, it can be described as a smoother slip than I thought.

But another problem had surfaced from what I had assumed.

"I thought you were weak, weak, but you come here and sneak up on me."

I opened and closed my fingers so that I could be sure of my recovered arm.

It was a man's boneless hand, with many fine wounds in his survival life in different worlds.

But behind its appearance, it was also a fragile flesh.

That vulnerability was at issue.

There is always a reaction to the action. It was the rule of this other world, the laws of physics, where magic is so strange.

If an untrained person accidentally punches things, it will hurt his fist, and it will also frustrate his wrist. The same thing was happening to me. In other words, my arm could not withstand the shock that would arise during Asalina's attack.

I can't talk about not being able to do everything I can at times of need.

The result of saying I couldn't do it to Shizuru Asalina and getting her full strength to try was the ugliness of hurting her wrists and elbows at the same time and stuffing her. I guess this is what you can't even see.

"Gosh, shh, sama..."

"It's not your fault. Never mind."

I stroked Asalina with my fingertips, shrunk to a centimetre or so protrusion growing from the back of her hand.

By doing so, I have healed myself, but the seeds of the headache remain.

Even though the corner Asalina is about to be my sword, I can't get enough of her power to do this.

"... I wonder what's going on"

I was sitting back and thinking, but in the end, I couldn't think of anything, scratching my head with disappointment and sighing.

I glanced at Lily beside me. She put her fingertips on her lips and looked like she was thinking of something.

"Does Lily have any good ideas?

When I asked, Lily pointed her big black eyes at me.

"Hmm. I don't have an idea. But I don't."

"Is that true?

"I don't know if it'll work. I think it's worth a try."

I guess the fact that I'm thinking about it means I haven't got my thoughts together yet among her. Nevertheless, it is worth considering just the slightest possibility.

"Can you talk to me?"

"Of course. I just need to ask for your help."

"Cooperation... to whom?

"To Gabella. I need her help. It'll be a hassle twice, and we'll talk to her from here on out."

And Lily said, We decided to move to the burning fire with Rose and Gabella.

Focusing on the burning fire, we became seats.

Positional relationships are Lily and Gabella on my left and right, Rose and Kato on the front. It seems that Azuma is already sleeping tonight, and she's resting on the belly of Gabella's spider.

"What is it for?"

Asking Gabella quickly, Lily told me about the problems I was facing with training to fight Asalina.

"I understand the situation. I don't even think I can do anything to my concubine..."

Garbera looked difficult when she finished listening.

"Lord Lily has some kind of ventriloquism?

"Yeah. I need to ask Gabella something."

Lily nodded back at Gabella's confirmation words.

"Actually, I want Gabella to go along with your husband's magic training."

"Magic training?

Apparently this was completely unexpected, and Gabella had her red eyes round.

"But didn't Lord Lily play the role of teacher?"

With Gabella as a family member, my magic power had increased, and I had begun to receive a magical initial trick from Lily, three days here.

This is taking place after my training with Asalina, and I was planning on doing that again tonight.

Lily wants Gabella to play the role of teacher.

"If it is magic, Lord Lily will be better at it than a concubine. Why don't Lord Lily continue to teach the Lord?"

"I think it would be best if I simply taught attribute magic."

Lily reached over my body, pinching me and taking Gabella's wrist, which sat on the other side.

"Hmm?"

"Here. Your husband, too."

…… Oh. "

Just like Gabella, who was uncomfortable, I offered her my arm with my neck tilted.

"Come on."

Lily pulled our hand and stuck her forearms together perfectly.

A slightly lower Gerbera's body temperature can be felt from wrist to elbow.

... somehow, embarrassed.

The same goes for Gabella, who was blushing her cheeks a little.

"Gabella's arm, it's beautiful, isn't it? No scratches, smooth, thin and soft."

"The same will be true of Lord Lily. Thinner than a concubine."

"Because mine is a pseudo. And if they compare it to Gabella."

So zero bitterness Lily has taken over the appearance of Miho Mizushima, who was a beauty with no complaints in her lifetime.

Some of them are different, or the upgraded part is also present in the front of the trunk, while others are almost a precise copy of her whole body, naturally a poor pretty girl looking.

But if you can compare it to Gabella, the minutes are bad. The beauty of Gabella is because the digits are different.

It was the beauty of the unmanned, and it was only a different dimension from Lily, who imitated man.

Of course, they are neither originally comparable nor comparable.

Even if you compare them with that eye only, it would be Lily's pity to be familiar as a Japanese, and many men would support her in that sense. It's totally a personal hobby around here.

Let's just say...

"Are we out of line?"

"Oh, yeah."

Lily tinkled her tongue out and orbited the topic.

"I want your husband to compare his arm to Gabella's."

"Arms?

As they say, I saw Gabella's arm.

It was a girl's thin arm.

It is a supple and beautiful arm that is incomparable with my arm with fine injuries and burn marks.

"Gabella's arms, they're thin, aren't they? It's more luxurious than your husband's arm that you can't stand the blow of Asalina."

That's right. I'm a man, and Gabella is a woman, albeit a monster. Whatever the truth, I am more disappointed in my appearance and deserve it.

"But if you arm wrestle with Gabella, your husband won't win."

"Well, yeah."

Again this is true, so I nodded irresistibly.

"I don't know what winning and losing is like, you're gonna be crushed with your arms down."

"A concubine can't do that!

Gabella claims instantly, but that's not what Lily would want to say.

Behind my brain, I was thinking of a new gabella bravery in my memory - a white spider atrocity that pulled through a whole swarm of artillery crawling areas.

That was a fiercely beautiful sight.

How much I've worked out, you can't do that.

... No. Aren't you?

I felt like I found out what Lily was going to say.

"We monsters and your husbands. Even though we are different from the quality of our muscles, Gabella's fine arms and powers are not matched by anything, are they? Naturally, it has something to do with this particular phenomenon in the world."

"I mean, magic."

Even if it is impossible as a law of physics, there are laws specific to this world in this world. If you follow it, it can happen even in matters that are out of my common sense.

"That sort of thing"

Lily, who nodded at my words, let go of both of us, and struck herself as she was embarking.

"I of Mimic Slime maintain this figure with magic. Rose the Magical Papette is moving the doll's body. This is the same thing with parasitic clams. Balloon Fox Abandonment can produce flames with magic. And so is Gabella."

"Oh. Don't keep your physical abilities strengthened at all times by magic. Even so, if it's a monster, it's an unconscious thing to do."

Strengthen physical abilities through magic.

That's what I remember when I saw him right after he was transferred to this other world, a student who beat the dragon to death with his bare hands.

Oh yes, the cheat talented cod was also created, apparently combined with the immense amount of magic held and the ability to operate it.

And from what I've just heard, apparently that's not the kind of skill that requires special qualities.

If so, it's possible for me. Even though I can't do that much, it just makes this body a little more sturdy, and the situation will improve considerably.

At the very least, I don't mind if this fragile body starts working as the foundation for the asalina that resides in my left arm. The question is, to what extent does that entail difficulties?

"For that matter, the suggestion that Lord Lily would like to concubine is, 'Teach the Lord to strengthen his physical abilities using magic'. But..."

Gabella frowned at the confusion.

"Then could Lord Lily teach me? Because it's not just concubine technology."

Gabella had a good point.

polar theory, it seems that whoever tells you about this doesn't mind.

"Regardless, it's not that I don't like it when concubines teach. But the Lord Lily originally planned to teach it all.... okay? I gave the Lord my chance to teach him something, to a concubine or something."

"That's not very good, though."

Listening to Gabella's worries, which seemed off somewhere from me, Lily laughed bitterly, but never returned a denial of her sister's concerns.

She enjoyed doing magic tricks on me, too. I feel itchy somewhere when they ask me that.

Abandoning such a good time, Lily thought that Gabella should teach me about physical enhancement.

She spoke from her own mouth about the reason.

"I think it's probably the most efficient way for Gabella to teach."

"Hmm. What do you mean?

"Because the magic that is in your husband is almost the magic of Gabella. I think it's the shortest way to do what Gabella does first."

My magic is growing with Gabella in my family. This is because some of Gabella's magic is pouring into me through the path.

Though they are constantly cracked with magic for parasitizing Asalina, that's just some of them.

Because the original possession magic power was trace, my current magic power is almost Garbera's and in good condition.

It was Lily's claim here that the original owner, Gabella, should be taught how to use such magic because it operates such magic.

"Enough to be done. Is that what you mean? But let me ask you something else."

Gabella, who showed understanding in Lily's story, raised new questions.

"The Lord is beginning to teach attribute magic from Lord Lily, isn't he? What are we gonna do about that? Parallel? Or are you saying that attribute magic gives up and enhances physical abilities?

"As for that area, I wonder if it feels like leaving it to your husband's choice. I was just asked if there was a good idea that I could withstand the recoil of Assalina's attack."

The two of them who were exchanging words turned to me.

"What are you going to do, sir?

Lily asks on behalf of me.

"... right"

I often thought about it.

Attribute magic?

Strengthened physical abilities?

Or both.

Referring to Lily's conversation with Gabella, we will consolidate the policy ahead of us.

It didn't take long before I made my decision.

"I'm going to teach Gabella to strengthen her body"

I decided to adopt Lily's proposal.

"I now have Asalina on my left. If you learn attribute magic, it will certainly be supportive firepower, or it can be used for interception. But I still feel uneasy on the defensive side. - In contrast, if my physical abilities are enhanced, my own ability to respond to attacks from enemies should be improved considerably. If you want to fight at a distance, you can leave it to Asarina."

Don't get me wrong. What I need is not to be useful in combat.

My job is just to survive. In doing so, it's important that you don't pull your people's legs.

I knew it well enough that I was dying nestled in a balloon fox trap.

"Lily also points out that physical enhancement can be expected to grow faster than attribute magic. Besides, it should be quick to form just enough to leave the attack to Asalina. You won't mind remembering attribute magic after that."

After I had finished talking about my thoughts, I turned my gaze to Lily with regret.

"Bad for Lily, who was trying to teach me attribute magic..."

"Yeah. I'm the one who said it, so you don't have to worry about that."

There was no appearance of distraction, and the grin and Lily smiled.

I smile back gently, too, and now I turn my gaze to Gabella.

"And then there's Gabella. Sorry for the hassle."

"That's not what I care about. For a concubine, teaching the Lord is a pure pleasure."

Really delighted, Gabella dyes her clear white cheeks to the vermilion.

These childish blushes make Garbera look really cute.

Of course, it's not a bad thing.

"Thanks"

I thanked him with a smile and put my hands on my knees to help him stand up.

"Well, that's a roundup, and I will now..."

"Um, Senior Mashima"

So quickly, it was about the arrow tip I tried to start training.

My dialogue was blocked.

The voice belonged to the girl who has always been a listener to our conversations.

"Excuse me, could you give me a moment?"

It surrounded the burning fire and became a vehicle seat, opposite me.

Over the flames of swinging oranges, there was Kato staring straight at me.

I have a burden on one younger girl named Kato Shinaka.

It's a huge burden, that you owe me help that night when White Arakune took you away, but you can't give me back what she's just pointing at.

I felt my body tense.

…… What's up, Kato?

In my opinion, for the first time in a long time, I have exchanged words directly with Mr. Kato.

Recently, I talked to her about when Asalina and I stopped naming her. But we didn't have a proper agenda then, and we didn't have a conversation with her just because we all came up with a draft and discussed it.

It's been a really long time since I've talked and been talked to in this way.

I just realized this... apparently I was avoiding dealing with her unconsciously.

"Excuse me. I was about to start training, but I got caught up in it."

"I don't mind that."

"Thank you. I wanted to talk to you about something."

Having said that, Mr. Kato corrected his residence next to Rose as he got out of the thin, dirty sheets he was always wearing.

Apparently, it's a serious story.

"Actually, I have one favor for Senior Mashima."

The contents of the 'favor' she thus told me were things I had never expected.

"If Mr. Lily's hand seems to be open, could you give me a chance to teach him magic?"

"... magic?

"Yes, if you take the time, you can learn magic from me."

Speaking of possible or impossible, it should have been possible.

The theory in the colony was that 'magic can be mastered even if you are not cheat capable'. In fact, I suppose I should say 'even those who have not noticed their cheat abilities' precisely because sometimes they become aware of their cheat abilities after being like me, but in any case, Kato is more than satisfied than one of the transferees.

It's possible.

But I couldn't get a quick reply.

"Can't you please"

……

So far I am not aware of cheat abilities, that is, the magic that Kato can only remember as a genuine ordinary person, etc. When fighting monsters, it should be difficult to even acquire a level that can be used for self-defense.

Just like me before, there's no point in her taking the time to learn magic.

If her magic were to work, it would be about when the other person was human and it could strike a surprise as well.

… for example, striking me from behind, etc.

It can only be used to that extent.

That much thought made me want to punch myself in the head.

What suspicion do you have of a benefactor who once risked his life to do all he could to save me?

But it was true that where Kato learned his magic, that was all he could use.

Beyond that, I could not dispel the suspicion I had of her.

'Allow Kato to teach magic' in the first place means' give her a weapon '.

If I can do that, I'm not worried about my relationship with her in the first place.

……

As a result, my mouth refused to complain about granting her permission, as if it had been paste.

Seeing me like that, Kato snapped at me quietly.

"Recovery Magic"

"Huh?"

"I want to remember the magic of recovery."

That was a statement to dispel my concerns.

"No, is it?

"It's..."

If it's restorative magic to acquire, you won't be giving Mr. Kato a weapon.

I was aware that one level of vigilance dropped in me.

... then there's no problem giving her the chance to learn magic, is there?

At least, it seems like there's room to consider.

I almost changed my mind, but I couldn't go any further.

"I was wondering if you'd give me a moment to talk about it."

Because Gabella waited for our conversation.

"Gabella?"

She was lowering her brow butt looking sorry.

Those red eyes were staring at Mr. Kato over the flames of the bonfire.

"I'm sorry, but I want Lord Lily to help the concubine who teaches the Lord how to treat magic."

"Help, is it? What's that like?

Gabella, who is not comfortable with Mr. Kato, answered, taking her gaze for an explanation, although she hardened her expression a little.

"My concubine is a monster. I don't know what human discretion is. I'm honestly not sure I can teach the Lord the trick well. In that regard, it would be comforting if Lord Lilli, who is a monster and also has a memory as a human being, could help"

"Right. At least at first, don't think you should have me with you just in case."

Lily also agreed with this opinion of Gabella.

"Can't you teach both of us at the same time?

To Kato's question, Lily shook her head sideways.

"I think it's hard. If Kato tries to use magic, he has to start by grasping the magic."

No one can handle things that are invisible and untouchable even with their hands.

In order to use magic, you must first feel magic.

"This takes a lot of time. I'm afraid your husband's training and simultaneity are a little impossible."

Kato frowned suspiciously at Lily's allegations.

"I understand that you can't talk without feeling the magic. But isn't that the same for Senior Mashima? If so, they'll teach us together..."

"I'm sorry, but your husband is special about this."

"Is it special?"

"Yeah. You can call it an exception"

As Lily's greatness put it, Kato showed a little nosy.

"Did you see the magic?"

"That's certainly an advantage compared to Kato, but I guess not so much as an exception"

With some possession magic, anyone can see magic.

To that extent, Lily doesn't use words like special or exceptional.

What Lily was trying to say here was my unique circumstance, involving even accidental accomplishments.

"Your husband died of a lack of magic, didn't he? With Gabella sharing her magic, your husband had a hard time connecting her life. At that time, it's a real coincidence that your husband is equipped to sense magic."

Listening to Lily, I was bringing nature and that time back to my brain.

That feeling of magic being poured through the spider's yarn filling the body could still be remembered vividly, even though it was an event on the verge of losing consciousness.

The feeling of being filled with a vessel called Myself, should I say?

It was exhaustion that gave it a sense of being filled. That was another difficult experience to replace and a terribly difficult time to share with others.

"Transferring magic to others is not something that you can do. Where we have done it, we do not know if we will succeed next. This is an extremely exceptional case, with coincidental situations in which magic is depleted and dying."

"... Indeed. And then I'm not going to be able to do the same."

If you can use similar shortcuts, Kato can catch up with me.

But I'm the only one allowed to do that. She can't imitate it that way.

"Unlike Senior Mashima, I have to do it in the tunnel."

"That sort of thing. I can't see magic anymore, as there's nothing I can do... Let's start by coming into contact with where someone is dealing with magic and grabbing the magic flow? But what your husband is trying to get at is physical enhancement, so I think it's going to be training while actually moving your body."

"When you do, it's harder and harder to get me to hang out with you"

"It would be inefficient to teach people with different proficiencies at the same time in the first place. I'm not taking classes because I'm stuffed in a school classroom."

"So is that."

Where we are now in boulders, there is not that much room.

"Too bad."

I'm guessing Kato understands the circumstances in which we are placed, having acted with us so far. She was able to pull in the favor lightly.

"Are you sure?

"It's not like I want to teach you magic until I've annoyed the Mashima seniors."

Answer Lily's query without further training.

It was refreshing.

"I'm sorry to bother you."

Mr. Kato even lowered his head with a pepper.

……

I was looking at her whole head, feeling like a lump in the back of my chest.

... Is this really good?

I owe Kato. I owe you. There is a burden.

If it's such a small favor, shouldn't we do something to make it happen?

I thought so, but I could not speak of it.

"Shit."

Because Lily, who looked back, snapped and rose up in momentum.

"... Mm"

Almost at the same time, Gabella was stretching her spider legs next to me. A refrain that slept in her spider's belly jumped up and looked behind the woods behind me as she roared.

Rose has already drawn an axe and is ready for battle.

That's when I finally notice the anomaly and Kato's reaction catches up.

My sight, which my companions turned to, reflected several figures coming from the darkness behind the woods.
