Monster no Goshujin-sama

Two.

"What are you looking at?

I saw a girl in a uniform crouching on the river plain, and I called out.

She was dropping her gaze on what she had in her hand, turning her face here.

She was a girl with a gorgeous vibe.

Glossy black hair that stretches to the waist.

Sleek body.

A slightly sharp face turns into a softer impression of a girl of her age once she laughs.

However, there was a slight expression on her face.

"Mashima"

And my name was called Yuna Iino... the girl known in the name of "Weiwaten", the temporary residence "Colony" where the transferee once lived.

"Nothing. It's not a big deal."

In an unsympathetic tone, Iino replied.

Turning to her, she will have a blade relationship with us once.

The fact that the uniform she was wearing was slightly rubbed off and thinly dirty was caused around it.

Nevertheless, when it comes to remnants of the battle, that's about it.

Her injuries on that day were now fully healed.

The arms broken in the battle against the Mad Beast and the transformed Pure Takaya are also healing, and a simple astral telescope is gripped in their hands.

It was made before by Rose, one of my family members.

"There was something I missed, I was just watching"

Saying, Iino laid the telescope gently on the ground.

In addition to the telescope, the ground in front of her is loaded with a variety of items, including blankets and food.

They were all wet in water, damaged or dirty with mud.

They were all items that we were carrying while we were traveling.

It's dirty because these items have been flushed into the river once.

We had loaded the luggage of the journey in the car that had come this far, but the car was shattered when we repelled Iino and flushed into the gorge with the crumbling cliffs.

Naturally, all the stuff I was putting on was gone with me then.

When the wound was completely healed, Iino was running along the river on his bragging feet, collecting items that had been flushed.

Most of them have been lost, but some of them can be recovered this way.

I guess that's one of the things I've been collecting from the Rose telescope I was just holding on to.

Iino opened his mouth as he dropped his gaze on the telescope he placed on the ground.

"This kind of thing, you have a friend you like. I've been pressed by hand to observe objects. I still have it in my room. I miss you......"

Rising Iino turned to me.

"Todo...... yeah. It's called Boom Miya, but you've never heard of it?

"Boom...?

I was confused by the sudden name given to me.

The name itself sounded familiar somewhere.

Nevertheless, I can't remember instantly.

"I'm from the expedition, seniors"

Before I got to the answer, a voice came up from somewhere else.

Looking back, Kato was about to come here, shaking the hair I offered him.

Thin arms with arms around them are white.

On the side, Rose also has gray hair wrapped around Mitsumi with her back and her face hidden in a mask.

In her doll's arms, a wet object was held.

They were just washing away the dirt on the goods that Iino had been collecting with river water.

A little further down the river, Gabella and Kay wash their clothes with delicacy.

The combination of Arakune and Elf has been an extremely pastoral sight for me so far.

And Rose, who walked near us, laid the washed goods upon the river plains.

Mr. Kato dries the cloth to the prepared dry, and Rose begins to classify the other articles.

Keeping the work going, Kato said.

"The Boomy of the Dark Beast. The colony was also famous. I think it was the same grade as the seniors."

"... oh, speaking of which"

I was told, I remember.

"Expedition", which was protecting the colony… Among them, made up of "Cheetahs," who gained the power out of common sense in the transferred otherworlds, there were several names, especially those of two who were known for their name.

For example, Kojiro Nakatsuki of "Sword of Light", Koji Hibiya of "Absolute Disconnection", Shichiya Shimiya of "Dragon Man"... Yuna Iino of "Weiwaten" in front of him is one of them.

Two names are small in number.

It feels like a long time ago now, but when I was in the colony, I did also hear the name 'Dark Beast' Bombing Miya.

"Hmm?"

I was convinced and nodded, and I learned to hook up.

"What's wrong with you?

Hissing his eyebrows, Kato turns a questionable eye.

"No. That name, more recently, I feel like I've heard..."

I thought about it for a few seconds and remembered.

"Jun Takaya. That's right. He was saying his name..."

It was when I tried to fight to get Lily back, who had been caught.

Jun Takaya, who had received some information from an unidentified person who thought he was inside the expedition and named "Heavenly Voice," tried to lure Kudo upset who would cooperate with me.

That's when I came out with the name of Ryumiya.

Speaking of which, at that time, Iino, who was riding Berta pretending to be Kudo, was reacting to Ryumiya's name.

Though I thought you knew him, I didn't even have time to pursue him then.

In the battle that followed, I forgot that that had happened per se, but if Boonmya was a member of the expedition, that reaction is also convincing.

Instead, for this minute, I guess it's not just that we were together on the expedition.

"Boom, were you a close friend?

"Yes."

On the telescope he placed on the ground, Iino glanced.

"So I want to ask Mashima. You interact with Kudo, don't you? At that time, why did Takaya give Todo's name... what was between Todo and Kudo? Whatever. I want you to let me know if you know anything."

"And even if you say so."

I know what Iino wants to say.

But that was an impossible consultation.

"It's not like I have a decent interaction with Kudo. We were hostile at Fort Chile, and even this time we had little time to talk. I don't know what you're talking about."

"... yes. Then you have no choice."

Iino clearly looked discouraged.

I asked her what she looked like.

"Hey, Iino. Boom..."

"I stayed in the colony without joining the First Expedition."

The answer came back as expected.

"Neither did we think anything of leaving the colony. The colony had two of the Explorers left. Todo from" Dark Beast "and Hibiya from" Absolute Cutting ". With these two, the colony's defense is perfect... well, it should have been."

Finally, I guess I clouded the word because Iino knows how it ends too.

I sighed.

"That perfection would be the story of assuming a monster. The colony destroyed itself. It collapsed from the inside, not by a raid of monsters."

At the end of the day, a stable life in the colony was probably dominated by the charisma of Kojiro Nakajima, leader of the expedition.

Even while he was there, I don't suppose there was any anxiety or dissatisfaction, but his presence held back those negative emotions.

So, with him gone, everything he was holding back erupted.

"... you resent us?

I waved for the first time at the frightened inquiry of Iino.

"It's not like I don't have anything to think about. I'm just not gonna blame you."

Iino looked surprised.

"Really?

"Oh, it doesn't change what happened, and in the first place, I don't think the expedition was wrong."

"... what do you mean?

"We were in the depths of the Tree Sea as it were, and we had no ahead of us. or so, it would have been impossible for everyone who has been transferring to travel long distances through the tree sea first. Soon the expedition had to be formed."

Answer pale.

"It is true that the departure of the First Expeditionary Corps has become a stumbling block to the collapse of the colony. But it was only some cheetahs who collapsed the colony, not the expedition. It won't be fair to talk about it later."

"... you're rational"

I said, "It's not like I don't have anything to think about."

Then there are some parts of my emotions that I'm not comfortable with.

Nevertheless, it's time for four months since then.

Whether it's already four months or just four months will vary from person to person, but my emotions are at least calm when it comes to myself.

Against the expedition, it's more about not wanting to be involved with each other than about wanting to complain.

The worst part is that there is an unidentified 'Heavenly Voice' in that group.

I don't know how far the venom of malice penetrates.

I hope the purifying action works if possible, but when it failed, I was sorry to get involved this far.

"Iino's going back to the expedition, isn't he?

Now when asked here, Iino nodded back.

"I'm going to. I still feel a little cramped, because my body moves. We need to stop by Serratta before we join the expedition."

"Serratta...... to Lewis?

"Yeah. To be honest, I still don't think Mr. Lewis was lying"

Iino narrowed his eyes with a strong eye.

"That guy's outrage was real, I think. If you're mistaken, you need to listen to me once and for all."

In the first place, the beginning of this rub with Iino was when a man named Lewis-Bird, a subordinate of the Macrolin Border Uncle, the largest nobleman in the southern part of the empire, blew in to Iino, saying 'Takahiro Mashima is a party to the Fort Chile raid'.

I thought I was fooled by words masterfully, but maybe, after a moment, there was something really looming somewhere.

"I plan to leave tomorrow morning"

"You're busy."

"Sort of. But there's also the Voice of Heaven, and I want to come back as soon as possible. If you're going to stop by Serratta, it's going to take a lot of extra time, and even if you don't, I spent a lot of time healing my injuries."

As it stands, Kay is the only one with me who can use healing magic.

Kay of a species with the qualities of an excellent wizard named Elf, but only ten years old. There and at a young age, there are limits to the magic that can be used.

The magic of having a hard hand on the second staircase also took time to treat and it took three days for Iino to be able to move properly.

As for Iino, who has a scratch, he'll want to pop up now.

Yet she spends the day helping us collect our baggage.

That was a big difference from three days ago when you insisted you couldn't believe me.

What a change of heart......

"Don't worry, I'm not thinking of bringing you back to the Empire."

You noticed this change in expression, Iino said with one hand on his hip.

"I don't know if it's 'Heaven's Voice' or something, but he could be in the expedition... what a story. As Mashima said before, we can't be trusted, but it's impossible."

Iino sighed small.

"Takaya, you know..."

After this incident, Iino may have had some thoughts, too.

I opened my mouth as I saw the look on her face with worry.

"... about Miho Mizushima?

I wondered if you had asked me what I didn't need.

Shouldn't you have imitated waking up a sleeping child?

But Iino, who was supposed to be burning his wrath about one thing that concerned her, just waved lightly at my inquiry as well.

"If he's convinced, how can he say it from me?"

He's not going to say anything more about this either.

Nevertheless, I honestly wasn't sure how I came to such a conclusion.

"In person?"

"... ah"

As he noticed something, Iino lowered his voice.

"Yeah, it's nothing. It's nothing, huh?

"Nothing, you..."

"And anyway! Because that's what I'm talking about!

Waving once, Iino turned his heel back.

"Then I'll go again!

"Ah, hey. Iino..."

I tried to speak up, but by then, Iino was already rushing out.

In that case, the opponent is that 'Wei Waste Heaven'.

He said things like he wasn't in the book yet, but the curse quickly became invisible.

"... weird guy"

I was left small and blurred.

"Hmm?"

I just circled my gaze, and Kato caught my eye looking in the direction where Iino was gone.

She is a little difficult, wrinkling between her brows.

"Mr. Kato. What's the matter with you?

"No."

I laughed all the time, and Mr. Kato shook his first.

"... No way,"

Crush it small and stand up good.

While Iino and I were talking, Kato seemed to finish the work.

Rose speaks to her.

"You'll take the rest, genuine vegetables"

"Right. Please."

Rose held the items that Iino had left behind in her arms.

Then, as Gabella and Kay happily talk to each other, they walk toward the place where they make noises and wash their clothes.

"Both of you. It sounds fun, but if you overshadow it, you make unexpected mistakes. Especially, Gabella."

"I know. It's all right, Lord Rose. With a concubine, yes, yes. Failure... Ah."

"Oh, that? Mr. Gabella, what is it? What is this noise...?

"From beside what I said, Gabella, you..."

"Shh, I'm sorry - shh!

It was kind of fun.

Watching the girls interacting with smiling thoughts, I heard them treading on the gravel.

"Um... seniors"

If you look, Mr. Kato was coming nearby.

My eyes are looking up at me.

"What's up?

"Well, I'm talking about Iino..."

When I urged him, Kato asked, although he had a bit of a mouthful.

"Didn't Senior Mashima hate you about Iino?

"... I hate you?

The response might have been accompanied by a slightly surprising sound.

"What now?"

Tilt your neck.

Seeing my reaction, Kato looked ridiculous.

"For that matter, the... somehow"

Maybe he tried to pick a word.

In the end, however, Mr. Kato has bumped into straightforward words like hers.

"Seniors look favorable to Iino."

……

I could not give you back my answer.

Let your eyes slip away for once, and then look back.

"... does that look like it?

"Yes."

Kato was staring at me.

"Right."

Looking down at her like that, I accidentally zeroed my bitter smile.

It's not because I had trouble being told something off target.

The opposite was true.

Really, this kid takes a good look at others.

When I scratched my head, I turned to the direction where Iino was gone.

"Nothing, I wasn't lying."

It was true.

I once swore to my heart not to take away only what was important to me.

Because that was the best I could hope for.

But at the same time, it also meant giving up many other things.

If I were as strong as Iino, I might not have had to lose much of what I had to give up.

I have that feeling somewhere.

So there's no way you can have good feelings for Iino either.

But at the same time, there were other thoughts in me that were different from those negative feelings.

"If you look at someone who has everything you've given up, you can't, after all, think of nothing."

"Seniors..."

"So I hate that guy"

One sigh.

"But at the same time, it's because I gave up... I want it to go on, and I think it's somewhere that I want it to go"

Before he came after me, Iino rescued many students from the depths of the Tree Sea.

Step all the way into a dangerous place with no edge or itch.

I guess that's how Yuna Iino will continue to live.

That's the opposite of what I've decided to live to not lose just what's important to me no matter what.

That's why I can't fail to recognize its value.

It must be those parts of me that Kato felt sensitive about.

"How's Kato?

"I..."

When I asked her, Kato narrowed her eyes.

"I don't like him."

The clear response was that it was feminine.

"Oh well. Well, there's no choice."

Kato looked up to me, laughing and saying.

He had a dazzling eye somewhere.

Stuff and twinkle.

"Seniors..."

"Hmm?"

Kato leaned down unexpectedly.

"Seniors, that's why..."

This time, it was a vague phrase rather than an appearance.

I don't even say the words that go on.

Try to keep your hands together, Mr. Kato stands.

There's a height difference, and because of her leaning over, I can only see her face about a little nervous mouth.

The peeled ears are red.

I was bewildered by the unexpected strange air.

I know I'm not being blamed.

Is Kato's attitude... obstinate?

I also feel a little different. I don't know.

"What do you mean..."

And I was about to say, I was called from the side.

"Takahiro, do you have a minute?"

Kay was rushing over here.

When she closed her legs, she looked at me and Kato alternately.

"... did I interrupt your story for a moment?

"No, that's not true."

Kato raised her face all the time.

The slightly reddish face had a distinctly relieved color.

"Because we were just having a little chat. Then I will go to Mr. Rose."

Kato lowered his head with a pepper, and he went with a crunch.

Kay has looked up to me.

"Uh... were you sure you were okay?

"Oh."

I wonder what it was, but even if I go after him now and ask him, he'll just get Mr. Kato in trouble.

Though there was nothing left to be blamed, I decided to change my mind.

"So, what can I do for you?

"Ah, yes. Regarding the collected preserved food."

Turning to the water, Kay answered in a clear manner.

"We don't have a lot of food, so we talked about cooking up what we recovered, okay?

I snorted.

"Okay. Just throw away anything that might suck at all because it would be hurting you"

"Mr. Garbera said he'd eat it around here because it was a waste."

"... no. Throw it away."

I know Gabella's stomach is sturdy, but even though it's not an emergency, I don't want the woman I like to eat rotten things.

"Okay."

Kay nodded.

And he looked like he'd noticed something.

"Oh, and one more thing. Talk… or I need to talk to you."

"Consultation?"

"Yes."

Kay looked around a bit.

Make sure no one is listening nearby, then turn your face here again.

There's an anxious look on his face.

With a slightly restrained voice, she cut out.

"I'm talking about Sister Silan."
