Monster no Goshujin-sama

Twenty-one.

"Gabella!"

When I saw the white shadow that had jumped in, I let my voice play.

"You're here!

"Hmm. Looks like you're safe, Lord. First, superimpose."

Looking around at everyone on the spot, Gabella narrowed her red eyes.

"... but for that matter, something seems to have happened."

Gabella is turning her gaze over here. I snorted back.

"Oh. I need your help"

A faint hope had plunged into a desperate situation.

I mean, Gabella, I didn't know she was going to wait very long, but at this point, she came right after us after that cliff crash.

It must have taken me a while to catch up, because of the injury.

Gabella had not yet healed the wounds she sustained in the battle with Iino.

Originally, the eight spider legs had only one left and three right left, and although they stuck the hook claws to the ground to secure their bodies, they were loose when they landed.

It's not just that I can't move at all. It's better, but the bragging mobility will be intangible.

But still, she must be the most powerful of my people.

At least, I had a better chance of succeeding than trying to recapture Lily alone.

If I were to say greed, I wish Silan had come, too, but unfortunately she didn't look like her. I guess she's on a mountain road on a cliff, waiting for us to come back with Kay.

Unfortunately, I can't afford to go get Silan and just come back.

Even now, Lily is getting farther and farther away, which I can feel through the pass. Her presence goes far. In time, you may not feel it.

There's no way I can predict there will be a raid on the high house. You should be lucky to have rushed here, even just Gabella.

"What happened, we talk on the road. Let's go."

"Ugh, um. Aye, okay."

I can't stay like this any longer than the sprouts of possibility have appeared. I called out to Gabella, who was confused, and ran out.

"Your husband!?

Rose's voice, like a surprise, chases him from the woods.

"Don't worry!

I returned my voice without looking back.

"Lily will definitely take you home!

While I said it myself, I knew it would be difficult.

Still, I have no choice but to do my best than to give up.

This is where we have to push through the impossible.

I held my fist.

The destination of Lily's stripped highhouse seems to be the imperial realm. The signs of Lily felt through the pass were heading straight southeast through the Kittles Mountains.

Apparently Takaya is not using the serpentine mountain path and is treading through the mountains to leave her physical ability as a cheat holder. Perhaps he doesn't like the chase.

Much more cautious.

I have a pass between me and Lily, so I can see where she is somehow, otherwise it would have been difficult to track her down.

Conversely, without trying, we would have missed the aim of the tall house.

A tall house with luggage named Lily should be more tricky to walk in the mountains than a mountain path.

The battle runs through the Kittles.

Somehow, I had to catch up.

"Hey. Lord. It's time for you to explain."

At that time, Garbera, who moves as she leaps next door, raised her voice as if she had cut the numbness.

So I remembered that I hadn't explained to her yet.

"Ah, oh. Bad. I'll explain now. Actually, after that cliff crash..."

I told Gabella briefly what had happened while I was away from her.

"I see. Lord Lily..."

When she finished listening, Gabella roared.

"I will definitely take it back. For that, help me."

"Whatever."

Gabella nodded forcefully at me.

"If there's anything I can do for a concubine, I'll help you with anything."

"I'd appreciate it if you could say that"

"Nevertheless, the concubine is in this condition as well. I can't guarantee how far I can help..."

"About that, it's okay"

Then I turned my face, which was about to be strong, into a form of laughter, toward Gabella, who walked side by side.

"According to Iino, Takaya can't use magic. Even as Warrior, I'm talking about not being so strong. There's got to be a gap in there."

I tried to calm down as much as I could and see what was going on.

While I was doing this, anxiety that made me want to scream was burning my chest, but even in a hurry, the situation never improved.

All we need is calm. If you lose sight of your normal mind, you won't be able to do what you can.

"It's troublesome to be armed with magic tools, but if we do something about that, we have a chance. No. If I were alone, I wouldn't have even remembered that, but now I have Gabella. There's got to be as much to do."

"... I'm glad you said that."

Behind words, Gabella looked difficult.

Somewhere suspicious, red eyes are peering at me.

"What?

"No. Maybe it's the concubine's fault"

After swinging, Gabella looked at me sideways again.

"But I wonder what that tall house and what the purpose of it is"

"That's... naturally to get Miho Mizushima back, isn't it?

They asked me the obvious, so I got a little confused.

"Takaya is Miho Mizushima's childhood friend. For her sake, I cared about her so much that I went through the tree sea alone. Then Miho Mizushima will have no other purpose."

"Hey, Lord. Are you serious?"

Running to jump, Garbera said.

Then why did Takaya attack Miho Mizushima?

"It's..."

I felt like I had been plunged into nothingness.

"... Indeed. That's weird."

Takaya pierced Lily's head with a sword.

If the opponent isn't Lily, he's dead in the first blow.

If you were to take resistance away from Miho Mizushima, there must have been more other ways to do it......

No. This is weird, too.

In the first place, why did Takaya think Miho Mizushima would resist?

Miho Mizushima is childhood friendly if you try it in a takaya. There is no reason to strike unintentionally.

You just have to talk to me normally. Yet the tall house strikes unintentionally from behind. It also took too radical a means of stabbing his head with a sword.

"How the hell..."

"You know, Lord."

Gabella walking side by side saw this one.

I have a thin eyebrow. He looked strangely serious.

"Earlier little girl, I thought you did say ideten or something"

"'Way to go.' His name is Yuna Iino."

"That's it. Remember what you said when that little girl showed up?

Though shocking events persist, this is just ahead of us. Of course, I remembered.

"'Did you feed your own manipulative monster about Mr. Mizushima?'"

"Yes."

Gabella nodded.

"That little girl knew who Lord Lily was. The tall house that stripped Lord Lily and the others were with that little girl, right?

……

"Isn't it natural that Takaya should also know who Lord Lily is?"

If you ask me, you were right.

If you knew who Lily was beforehand, Takaya's actions would be very convincing.

Takaya's "Sinister's Tie Chain" doesn't activate when he's willing to resist.

Whatever Miho Mizushima is dealing with, it takes a lot of damage to take away the consciousness of Lily, the monster.

You can break your body apart, but it's smartest to hit a pseudo-head. There is no more efficient way.

"But there's one weird thing about this"

Gabella continued.

"Takaya will mean he stripped Lord Lily, knowing he was a monster who borrowed Miho Mizushima's figure. That's where I can't solve it."

"... on the contrary, he called me 'Miho-sister' about Lily. 'From now on, I will protect you properly'. That didn't look like an act."

... What do you mean?

If it wasn't Miho Mizushima who got it, that dialogue wouldn't come up.

But if you're Miho Mizushima, there's no way you're going to be able to secure yourself in such a violent and extreme way.

"No way......"

I had an idea, and I frowned.

- I finally got it back. Sister Miho.

Voices in tune, such as purity itself, resurrected behind my ears.

Attitude is a backward, relentless attack.

Eyes off the regular track and a stand-up that makes you feel resentful.

"Takaya may be going crazy somewhere"

And now I see the possibility.

"Weird, huh?

I nodded at Gabella when she asked me.

"Oh. Jun Takaya was in love with Miho Mizushima, a childhood friend. That's why I was referring to Miho Mizushima, not even to myself. That's what she's lost. There's no point in going crazy..."

While I was talking, I ran unexpectedly cold on my spine.

Because it made me think of things I shouldn't think about.

Someone more important than yourself. An important and loving girl.

If Miho Mizushima is for Takaya, then Lily is for me.

So I thought.

... for example, if I lost Lily.

Can you stay here without going crazy?

I panicked and stopped thinking further.

It wasn't like thinking in this situation. Too ominous......

"I see. Miho Mizushima and Lord Lili may no longer be distinguished from Takaya. But isn't that a reassuring ingredient for us?

"... Huh?

Gabella spoke to me, and I returned it.

"Eh."

One beat, the reaction was delayed.

"... what's a reassuring ingredient?

"What the Lord feared was that the fact that Lord Lili was not Miho Mizushima would be exposed to Takaya, causing harm?

In an encouraging tone, Gabella said.

"But isn't that no longer possible? Originally, Takaya knew it and kidnapped Lord Lily."

"Oh, oh..."

If you ask me, this could certainly be the case, too.

What Gabella was saying was right.

I just don't know if that would reassure me, it wasn't. Because these things are not rational.

I nodded vaguely.

"Right."

……

At the end of the conversation, we rushed ahead silently.

At the edge of his vision, the sun glistened.

The sun is leaning a little. Around the nod, I felt a tingling sensation. How long has it been since Lily was stripped? How much distance would have been packed? Isn't that supposed to be detached?

Things I couldn't help thinking about were circling around my head.

……

It wasn't until after a few minutes of silence that I realized that Gabella was watching me.

Suspiciously, I opened my mouth.

"What's wrong, Gabella?

"... hey Lord"

No cancer, there was a loud noise.

All of a sudden, Gabella braked her hook and nail and braked her suddenly.

I panicked and stopped. [M]

"Slightly."

To that applause, I lost my balance.

Relax and poke one hand at the ground.

……

When I realized it, my breath was up. I have palpitations.

When you get up, little dizziness. I shook it off and looked back at the lie.

"What's up, Gabella?

There was the figure of Gabella with her legs closed.

From the ground where I pierced the spider leg, the earthen smoke is rising.

Her bent face, leaning forward on a clap with legs closed, is invisible hidden in her long hair.

"Withdraw Foreword"

Pompous, Gabella said.

"Again, this doesn't look like it's the concubine's fault"
