Monster no Goshujin-sama

11. Peaceful time in the Inn Town

Eleven.

Upstairs in a wooden house.

Separating from the soldiers who had accompanied us so far, we spent time in an accomodation town near Serratta.

The chief of the regiment spoke to the merchants of the Knights and rented a property that one of them did not live in as a temporary lodging.

"Lord, this is interesting."

Thanks to you, you can also exchange words under one roof with your family.

I was wiping my wet hair with a towel, and I turned my face to Gabella, who had spoken with pleasure.

It was after Siran's guidance and sweating in the water.

The body was mixed with a sense of comfortable fatigue and fullness.

Since I began to teach Silan, I have a real sense that I have not only become accustomed to the very act of combat, but that I have started to acquire something called swordsmanship as technology.

The presence of Kanahiko, who is growing faster than himself, was also encouraged, and these days he felt not only full of training, but also pure pleasure.

"What's up, Gabella"

Lord Rose gave it to me.

Gabella's hand was gripped by a black, lustrous stick about twenty centimeters long.

"Yeah, do it!

As Gabella waved the stick along with her unconscious temper, a pipe of different widths popped out of the way.

Once popped, the pipe is fixed with friction.

"Oh. Speaking of which, you made that stuff too"

It was a special stick with a swing out style.

This is one of the things Kato suggested to make.

She herself did not know in detail what it was, so it would be Kanahiko who provided the knowledge by becoming the stage to make it.

Rose is in the midst of a lot of trial and error right now, and as part of this, she actively incorporated new knowledge and concepts into practice.

Because I am thinking about future applications, for now, I am not thinking about whether it can be used at this time.

The ones created that way were mostly Gabella and Kay toys.

If you try them so that from me you can feel the magically related items on your chest, you can feel the little gimmicks even rarely.

"There's more, see! I got this stuff too!

What Gabella took out was a palm-sized wood-carved doll.

The height is deformed at about ten centimeters, but is this Lily? There is no arm part and it is carved on the side as a painting.

"That's cute."

"Mm-hmm. But that's not all. This is where it opens."

The part of my stomach broke in two.

The contents of the split between the upper and lower body are hollow, with even smaller lilies......

"Matryoshika?"

What does Kanahiko teach Rose? I'm starting to wonder.

No, well, it's good because Gabella seems to enjoy it.

Gabella further broke that little lily and took out the fox doll from inside.

This seems to stop.

"Cute, cute"

……

From the looks of it, Gabella is about my age or a little above.

I don't know how she enjoys it on the same level as Kay.

"Try not to break it."

- That's all I think, just a little.

I feel kind of happy watching Gabella twinkle her red eyes like blood, like a child.

It's a little different than the smiling feeling when you see Kay in a shake.

Of course, I think you're smiling, but that's not all.

I feel like I want to watch that smile forever.

Either that or it could have been similar to what I feel when I was with Lily.

With a natural grin, I turned my gaze around the room.

In the room, besides Gabella, who had spoken, were Lily and Silan.

Rose and Kato, and Kay are in the next room.

While yesterday, I know they bought dye in this lodging town at the Knights Tste.

He said he was going to make clothes. He didn't tell me the details.

From the other side of the wall, which is not necessarily thick, the girls' pleasant voices are faintly heard leaking, giving them a sense of serenity time.

Would such a sight become a routine if applied to the captain's home Akel?

It was a happy future projection, like paralysis running on your chest, even if you just imagine it.

There are three knights who accompany us, including Silan.

Otherwise the knights were divided between those who were escorting the other transferees and those who were waiting outside the town with the soldiers.

Speaking of which, after taking care of this house for us, the leader, accompanied by a few knights, is heading to Serratta first.

Kanahiko also accompanied him to this. It will be another yesterday.

Unlike the town that has stopped so far, Serratta, the great city of the Empire with a population of more than 10,000, can afford only to accept, temporarily, the hundreds of Imperial Army soldiers who have fled Fort Chile.

The captain should be visiting and talking to Count Lawrence, who will be stationed in Serratta by now.

I glanced out the window.

There, I saw the Serratta landscape that the captain was visiting.

Although the county territory of Lawrence is blocked by a wooded sea to the south and a coma forest to the northeast, it is bordered to the west by Count Long territory, a barn region, and to the east by Viscum, one of the three eastern realms.

On the streets connecting Count Long and Viscum, and even closer to the northern Macrolin border, Serratta became one of the logistical hubs of the southern part of the Empire.

For this reason it is called the trading city Serratta.

But the exterior of the city is so frivolous that you wouldn't expect it from such a name.

A wall with a defensive tower surrounds the city. It's called a castle city.

The walls surrounding the city are a double circle: a small circle and a large circle.

I heard that the walls were expanded as the city grew.

These landscapes are commonplace in cities around the world.

In this world with magic, earthly attribute magic can be used for architecture.

In addition to that, I guess the need to respond to the too great threat of monsters has enhanced civil architectural technology in this world.

I also thought the barrier in Pioneering Village was a lot more splendid, but after seeing this, it seemed like a poor minister.

But there is something more tangible than a heavy castle wall.

It was a giant 'fortress' standing in the middle of the city.

The name is Fort Serratta.

Rather than having the same name as the city......, it is correct as to how you named the fort over the city.

Just like Fort Chilea, where I stayed until this time, and Fort Ebenus, which welcomed the expedition in the eastern lands, is the key that was once at the forefront of the tree sea.

A large city in this world, with a few exceptions, is said to be a castle town built around these fortifications, which ended their original role.

Considering preparing for raids by monsters, it would be extremely natural for the formation of cities to be such a body.

The fort is now manned by Count Lawrence, the lord who houses the region, and his gestures, as well as parts of the Imperial Southern armies.

The captain came to the nearest city where it was located because the means of distance information that was at Fort Chile had been lost.

That was Serratta because he had a fortress of his kind with Fort Chile.

After all the various tasks, including the reception of soldiers, I have heard that it will take at least three days for the Captain to return.

If it is possible, then we shall leave immediately for Akel.

I had to feed my English now.

"Oh, already. Fail again."

Lily raised her voice when Gabella, summoned by Kato, moved to the next room and I was talking to Silan about today's training and future family mentoring.

Lily, sitting on the bed, raised her hands and fell behind her back.

To be precise, should I say I gave you both arms?

Because Lily didn't have a wrist ahead of her right now.

I didn't get hurt.

I tried to partially simulate another creature while simulating the girl's appearance, and the simulation of that part was solved.

Lily has been working much harder lately trying to achieve the partial fiction she told me about before. But this doesn't seem to work out very well.

Spill and slime body tissue flourishes at the tip of both wrists that have lost their bodies due to a failed simulation to shape the original girl's hand.

But Lily remains down. He's pointing a difficult face at the ceiling.

"Don't get too stuffed with roots."

When I moved to the next bed, I put a crease between Lily's eyebrows on my fingertips.

"Yan. Already. Your husband?

"Why don't we take a break?"

"Hehe. If we're going to take a break, why don't we get ready for tea?"

When I saw our interaction, Siran, smiling, lifted his hips.

"Ah. Then I'll help, too."

Lily then wakes up her torso, but Silan shook her head to the side.

"You still don't know what you're up to, and Lord Lily, please take your time"

Leaving people's fond laughs, Silan left the room. Footsteps go down the stairs.

When we were alone, Lily came to me.

"Uh-huh... I don't know if I can do it"

Lily, who often leans on me, was more right to say that today's is, rather, leaning on me.

Grunting.

"Lily."

I held Lily's soft body. There is no resistance.

My weak body slips off and I lie down.

Lily, who adjusted her thigh position, dropped her head over my thigh.

"Mmm."

The way you cheek on your thighs to be sweet is somewhat like a cat.

I called out to her as I moaned Lily's forehead.

"... hey, Lily"

"What?

"Hey, are you depressed?

Lily leaned back and looked up at me.

"Just a little bit."

A powerless grin came to my mouth.

"Somehow, I've come to understand. Maybe this is the limit of my Mimic Slime abilities."

……

He told me about the partial simulation before he left Fort Chile and arrived at the first pioneering village. In time, twenty days have already passed.

Yet Lily's partial fiction does not show any signs of success in this way.

I haven't taken a step forward.

Lily sighed small.

"Even though it's really necessary to maximize the ability of the monster in me"

"I know what Lily's trying to say..."

If you can partially simulate a monster's abilities, that's a good place to take them.

For example, a regular monster can't beat this first by fighting the strongest white spider Garbera deep in the tree sea from the front.

Sturdy to muscle strength, resilient to speed. For Gabella, where all fighting abilities are brought together in the highest classes, things are difficult to even counter in one area when it comes to combat. Even if they are crushed in other parts where they could have fought somewhere.

But suppose Lily wears a partial pseudo?

Alternatively, it might even be possible to approach Gabella.

… but if I could do that.

"I can't do anything I can't. I was just depressed about it, and I guess I don't have a choice, huh?

I touched Lily's cheek.

"Even if humans can kick and jump on the ground, they can't fly. Even if you can scratch water with both hands and swim, you can't dive into the deep sea, which is thousands of meters. Lily is a monster, but there will still be limits"

"But humans fly and dive into the deep sea."

I accidentally leaked a bitter laugh at Lily for saying things like an unheard child.

It is unusual for Lily, who behaves as the sister of her family, to show her weakness in this way.

I was glad to be sweet because I had only ever been able to support you.

"That would be using airplanes and submarines,"

"... yeah. That's right, what is it?"

Lily closed her eyes as she stroked her forehead to soften.

Time flies between us.

Eventually, Lily said, pompous.

"But your husband"

"What?

"Even if you rely on something else, you're flying in the sky, and you're diving in the deep ocean, it doesn't change."

...... why not.

I felt cold in my spine.

That may be because, after a moment, her smug expression with her eyelids was so calm as to remind her of a martyring priest.

"If I were human..."

"Lily?"

Lily slowly lifted her eyelids in front of me calling.

And I blinked.

"Hmm? What is it, your husband?

Lily on her knees looked up at me and looked strange.

It's the usual lily out there.

I scratched my cheek, losing the words to speak.

"... no. Nothing."

"Weird husband"

I giggled and Lily woke herself up.

"It makes me sweet, thanks. Maybe I'm feeling better."

"Right. Good for you."

Apparently, he's back to his usual condition.

It would have been a pleasure for me if I could have done it for her.

"If you can't, think of another way. Besides, I haven't decided I can't yet. I'll try harder."

Lily, who made a small clench and laughed, accidentally circled her gaze.

"Is that it? Is anybody here?

There was a noise downstairs.

Not long between, busy footsteps run straight up the stairs.

The door opened without a knock in front of us who stood up reflexively.

I held out my hand, which was stretching out to the sword.

He jumped into the room because he was a friend of mine with a blush head.

"What is it, Kanahiko? You were back."

You've been running so far, I call on Kanahiko, who breathes on his shoulders, from here.

"What's going on in such a hurry? The captain is with us..."

"It's a bad thing"

Best of all, the words told tighten the feelings that were loosening in me.

"What happened, Lord Kanahiko?"

Siran, who was downstairs, and two other knights, follow Kanahiko to his room.

When Kanahiko looked back at them, he told them in a low voice.

"Captain in custody"
