Monster no Goshujin-sama

09. The Future of Dolls

9 ~ Rose Perspective ~

It was a young man with a mild impression who walked here shoulder to shoulder with the boy of the transferee.

The lightly pigmented brown hair looks soft, and the face beneath it is also soft.

But behind the mild impression of his face, his slender body belonged to a forged warrior.

The steely flesh is wrapped in a kimono.

The loose costume that you put away just by your waistband is something you occasionally see since your visit to Diospiro.

ethnic costumes in northern Akel, Mr. Silan tells me.

A single-edged sword that turned back on his hips.

From the neck, there were a number of wooden ornaments hanging that I thought mimicked some creature.

……

When I met him, for some reason I was captured by a strange feeling.

Not so much as uncomfortable, it's not strong.

I'm just not even weak enough to ignore it.

Before figuring out what that obscure hook was, the young man moved the eye he had turned to this one to the boy next door.

"Hey, Ming Hu. Isn't that your colleague you were listening to yesterday?

"... I don't know"

The metastatic boy we met yesterday at the inn further enhanced his face, which seemed grumpy from the beginning.

Makes a young man look like a frightened man.

"Also, that's how you make enemies..."

The young man said, in a tone of speech.

The attitude was only mild.

"Even Ming Hu cared about the trends of his peers. Don't take advantage of this opportunity."

Apparently, whatever that metastatic boy is, the youth are more interested in this one.

I smiled and walked over here.

I don't feel hostile.

It doesn't feel bad either.

One way or another, it's a favorable waist.

But I'm an escort.

The attitude of the youth cannot be taken as such and not without vigilance.

Keep leaning against your husband and slip your hands into the large pockets on the forehead.

At your fingertips, the feel of an axe pattern.

There is no way I am more defenseless than I am beside your husband.

It was the same principle as a magic tool bag, carrying a weapon inside a pocket with space expansion.

"Nice to meet you. I am Sadias."

Whether or not you noticed this alert, the youngster - Sadias - took some distance and put his foot together.

"And the one who looks grumpy over there is Akira Fujitsu. Hey, I didn't expect to see you back home in this country."

"... what can I do for you"

Your husband's response was cautious and profound.

The metastatic boy - like Akira Fujitsu, he hasn't shown a grumpy attitude to pranks, but it doesn't mean he's not alert.

Suddenly, as a person voiced by strangers all over town, it can also be considered a natural reaction.

Sadias' attitude toward him was gloomy.

"It's not a big deal. It's just that it's on the edge of something that a foreigner like you stumbled into. Why don't we talk for a second?... Oh, don't worry. Well, to some extent, you know what's going on."

"To some extent?"

"You showed up in the woods. Having the power. I know there are so many of them that I can't even think about it."

I lay down my words, but it was clear that Sadias was talking about the metastasizers.

Nevertheless, I don't know how far I know.

Only your husband asks carefully.

"What do you want to talk about?

"If you say so, I want to know what's going on with my compatriots in Ming Hu."

"... you mean you want to gather information?

"That's not all."

The dust and Sadias laughed.

It was a likable, refreshing grin.

"Sometimes we simply want to talk. As I said earlier, it's on some edge that I've seen you here. I wish we had a friendly relationship. Fortunately, you don't look like bad guys."

It didn't look like you were lying.

As long as we talk about it, it seems okay.

But it's up to your husband to decide.

Asked how it was, your husband was apparently lost, too.

Originally, your husband cared why there were other transferees in this country.

If this is how friendly we have had the opportunity to make contact, I guess there is no strong reason to poke at it.

"Can you just talk to me for a second?"

You felt it wasn't a bad feeling, Sadias continued.

"Regardless, I don't ask what got into it. I was wondering if you could just tell me what to do..."

"Sadias!"

But it was then.

An angry yell echoed down the street.

"... Ming Hu"

Sadias, interrupted, looked back at the companion with a slightly surprised face.

"Stop it, Sadias"

The metastatic boy, Akira Fujitsu, said uncomfortably while attracting the attention of the people on the street.

"It's no use getting involved"

They don't quite like it.

It was like throwing up and throwing up.

The gaze leans upon me as I lean against your master.

"This guy's not a busy one either. You can take a woman like an accessory, but it's proof of that."

"… you"

I accidentally gripped the axe pattern that was touching my hand.

"Stop it, Rose"

It was your master at the time when he insulted me.

Along with the words of restraint, they grab the arms they were putting together.

"… I understand"

When I answered briefly, I let go of my hand from the axe pattern.

It was a detour that got me killed, but I wasn't going to leave it to my emotions to jump out of it any more than I was an escort.

"... hmm"

When Akira Fujitsu saw us like that, he turned back on his heels when he rang his nose.

I'm angry, but I can't risk your husband.

As I was, I greatly missed him.

With one of the parties gone, clutter brings back the blemishes.

The young man left behind took a deep sigh.

"I'm so sorry. Ming Hu has been rude."

"No. I don't care"

As I said, your husband returned the words without looking very offended.

Doesn't mean I didn't feel anything, but it was a pale reaction.

Your husband has these places.

That, for a moment, may be the nature that this experience in the other world has brought to your husband.

"He saw me and another guy yesterday saying they were a couple. It's a misunderstanding in and of itself… Today, I walked out with another woman and ate her. There's no need to make a bad impression."

"I'm so sorry."

Sadias looked more and more sorry for how the lack of care rather inspired guilt.

"Ming Hu is a cunt who jumped out of disgust with the attitude of other metastasizers."

"Really?

"Oh. But I never thought you hated other metastasizers that far. I've been reckless..."

Maybe Sadias isn't aware, but one new piece of information came out.

That metastatic boy, although he has cheats, doesn't seem to be part of the expedition at least right now.

I see. That's why he wanted information.

Yuna Iino tells me there are leavers out of the expedition that arrived at Fort Ebenus.

Maybe he's one of those cheat holders, too.

But I didn't have time to confirm that.

"You can't leave Ming Tiger alone, so it's time for me to let you go. He doesn't have a translation magic stone right now."

"Okay."

"... too bad. It's true I wanted to talk to you."

Your husband turned a slightly suspicious face to Sadias, who sighs really unfortunately.

"... why would you want to talk to us?

"Yeah? Oh, right. Is that a little weird?

Sadias smiled in a calm face.

"I don't think you're like anyone else."

……

"Haha. I'm sorry I said something weird."

Sadias was only, until the end, a favorable attitude.

"If I'm on edge, I'll see you later"

Where the curse of Sadias disappeared amidst the mischief, I was finally able to relieve the tension.

It was a lot more impressive with the two of us.

Naturally, the impression of Akira Fujitsu, who had a bad attitude, was strong, and I think Sadias had an atmosphere of a little concern as well.

"... that's odd"

When I heard your husband snap, I peered into his face.

"Does your husband also care about that person named Sadias?

"Hmm?"

Your husband looked surprised.

"No, what I'm talking about is the demon stone of translation"

"Of translation...?

To a different answer than I thought, I leaned my neck.

"Oh. I thought you said earlier that a man named Sadias doesn't have the demon stone of translation right now, Shenzu? Thadias was more of a mouthful like he had the demon stone of translation. That's it. Just hook it up."

"... other than that, isn't that so strange? With us, until now, didn't Mr. Silan and Kay have one demon stone at a time?"

"Only those two could use the magic stone of translation. But this is how Rose now has the demon stone of translation, isn't it?

"Yeah, but that's because I learned how to use it."

"Yes."

Your husband made me snort.

"Not only Rose, but Kato was about to learn how to use it. It is possible for us transferees to use the magic stone of translation over time. And that guy named Fukutsu, he should know how to use it, too. Because he was alone yesterday."

"... Speaking of"

Yesterday, whether he had already left the inn or was in his room, Sadias was not with Akira Fujitsu.

Yet, Akira Fujitsu was having a conversation with the master of the inn.

I can use the magic stone of translation.

"If you can use it, you should have the demon stone of translation by Shenzu, right?... You've noticed a lot."

"I'm careful not to be alone in town myself. When I first found out what was going on around it at Fort Chile, I also had a lot of heads in my thoughts about the future. How do we learn how to use it, in the first place, what do we do with the means of obtaining…"

Your husband looks like he noticed something.

"... wait. How did those guys get the demon stone of translation?

"Sure, I remember we were talking about the translation demon stone not being circulated very well"

"Oh. There is no demand in general because it is normally used only for metastasizers. Basically, it should have been what the Cathedral Church, with its brave men, had. of an empire that has vast territory and is likely to make first contact... I'm talking about having enough inventory around the military, but Akel."

"Is that Sadiaz an imperial person?

"Then I'm not sure I was dressed in Akel's ethnic costume"

"Right.... Or maybe he's in a similar position to Mr. Silan or Kay"

"Well, can't you say there isn't? We're in the same position as Fujitsu."

Your husband nodded, although he still seemed to get hooked somewhere.

"I guess he has a situation, too.... Seemed to hate other metastasizers for a long time, maybe I've seen something before"

I just hate other metastasizers so much.

It wouldn't be very pleasant.

Regardless, it is possible that Akira Fujitsu is simply a difficult person.

"If it seems to bother you, why don't you go after it now and let the exploration in?

I don't feel comfortable making contact with the person who insulted your husband, but if it is deemed necessary, I certainly don't.

"... no. Let's not do that."

But your husband didn't seem to think much of it, and he withdrew my suggestion.

"Sadias, anyway, sounds like he hates Deep Tsunami Tiger a lot. You wouldn't even have to do anything to step on the tiger's tail."

"Is it a 'tiger'?... stroke the dragon's beard and step on the tiger's tail. That was your husband's story of the world."

"... what the hell, Rose. You know very well. I didn't even know the dragon crap in the first half. Is that Kato?

"Yeah. I think you asked Miho Mizushima about the real vegetables. Because he seemed to be a random reader rather than a reader"

"Really?... No. Speaking of which, when I lived in the Tree Sea, it was Lily who told me about the blood drain I didn't know about. I was wondering why, but that's why."

Because your husband takes care of the deceased's privacy, he only has enough opportunity to know about Miho Mizushima to listen to the real vegetables.

I didn't know about Miho Mizushima's taste either.

By the way, this is for the record, the meat from the monster I was hunting and eating when I was in the Tree Sea was unusually bad because even though I knew 'I had to drain blood', Sister Lily until 'How do I drain blood'...... or because Miho Mizushima didn't know.

She didn't seem to know what post-mortem rigidity was like after slaughter and what meat maturation was like in the first place.

The knowledge I read in the book alone has its limits.

It was natural.

It seems that the meat of some well-treated monsters is also eaten as a delicacy in the tree sea, such as Fort Chile. Around here, Mr. Silan told me.

"You're out of line. Well, that's why I think we should stop putting exploration into it"

I nodded at your husband's words.

"Okay."

"Besides... today at the corner. Thus, Rose and I are rarely walking alone. It's a waste of time to pretend there aren't many opportunities."

At the end of the day it was a bit of a joke tone.

Maybe it's because you're not very aware of me, but it's a little sloppy to say that you're taking these things away.

"We need to have fun."

"Yes."

Then I had to consciously control the face that seemed to fall out of my expression and become a doll's.

After I looked around the outdoor store, I went back to the main street lined up in the store.

This is the first time I've ever set foot in a shop in town.

Grocery stores and stores dealing with weapons and protective equipment were not only fresh, but also very learned as people involved in making goods.

On the way, I got a little carried away.

I will try to pull half with your husband's arm and ladder the store from next.

I just left the store dealing with demon stones and realized I was so depressed.

Apologizing for what I had just enjoyed, your husband told me not to laugh and care.

"But..."

"That's okay. I'm enjoying myself. I haven't had a chance to look around the store slowly before. And even if you don't, it's just fun to watch Rose haunt you like a child."

"hey, don't say anything weird"

If this had been accompanied by the ability to blush, it would have been rather lame.

To deceive, I withdrew your master's hand.

"Oh, there, there's a store that looks interesting. Let's go."

"Okay, okay,"

It was a little later that I realized I'd forgotten what it was like to be depressed.

In the end we walked through the city until the sun inclined.

"Time to go home"

"Right."

Finally, we decided to replenish some of the necessary items for our journey before returning.

Finally, I also get the kind of books in this world that Sister Lily had asked me to do.

"... that?

Then I left the store and your husband raised his voice.

"What's wrong?"

"Right now, I thought Silan was here..."

"Mr. Silan?...... sorry. I didn't see it properly."

I see a wave of people going down the street, but I didn't see gold hair and white armor already.

Because Mr. Silan has something special about him as a family, or because he has less information on the path than we do, and we don't know where each other is.

"No. It could be a mistake. Really, because I just saw it a little bit. Come to think of it, it's weird to be here."

As we walked through the boulevard shops, we were now approaching the outer edge of the town.

Even from here, across the boulevard, I can see the iron gate that looks sturdy.

The mess in front of me was also scattered with evenings and travelers who had just come to this town from outside walking in a dragging mood.

The army garrison in this town, to which Mr. Silan turned, was a short distance away.

"Surely there are some facilities on the outer edge of town for defense, aren't there? Weren't you there yesterday with someone you met face-to-face?

"Maybe. That might just be my mistake."

We walked out leaning in.

Interact with your husband as he feels his presence right beside him.

I might have gotten used to this distance just a little after a day.

In doing so, I felt a twitching and spreading feeling of happiness amidst the gorgeous feelings.

But this time is over.

This is a special time, so it won't last that long.

"Um, your husband. May I have a word?"

Where the inn was seen, I called your master to rest.

"I have something for you."

Feeling sorry for you, but away from your husband.

I put my hand in the front pocket.

"Is this...?

When I handed you what I took out, your husband looked a little surprised.

I looked down at what your husband held, remembering the satisfaction with which the surprise had been successful.

It was a pair of black caged hands.

The decorative design is slightly different on the left and right, with decorations based on blue and yellow on the left and red and green on the right arm.

By the battle against Jun Takaya, your husband acquired new powers… or it was made for Asarina.

The bandage that is now wrapped around your husband's left arm is woven with the yarn of a Gabella spider, so it's not without defense.

But it's still limited because it's not a full-scale protective gear.

So, when I had a lot of conversations with Kanahiko before, it was this one that I made while remembering what was being advised.

Quickly, your husband attaches the caged hand to both arms.

Temporarily, I couldn't put Asalina on the table on such a round trip, so I installed it from the top of the bandage now, but even if I equipped it without the bandage, it was designed to hide in the cage hand and not normally see the back of my hand.

"This is the 'Asalina's Cage Hand', but the left arm has the back of the hand made movable so as not to inhibit Asalina's behavior. We've incorporated some other gimmicks, so I'll explain later. And one more thing…"

As I said, I again handed your husband what I had taken out of my front pocket.

"Shortcuts... or swords"

There won't be even three fists to match the pattern.

A very short knife.

My husband, handed it to me, pulled out a little knife.

For just a moment, your husband moves like he was fascinated by the glossy glow of his fullness.

"... this is amazing. Hey, isn't that better than" pseudo-Damascus steel sword "...?

"We pride ourselves on being the best we've done in the past. However, I'm sorry the material is a little special and the length of what I could do is not enough"

"Special? You mean you used some rare tree?

"Well, that's the place"

This has also been a prototype for a long time.

This one has the advice of a genuine vegetable.

"Call me the Rose Sword."

It's the real vegetables that I named.

Nor do I differ. Other than that, it was an unnamed sword.

I am the producer.

And because the material is me again.

- This body is a doll.

It is wood if traced back to the original.

Then it makes sense that it can also be processed.

That was the opinion of the real vegetables.

As always, genuine vegetables come up with amazing things.

This desire to protect your husband at all times made me decide to make it.

Since it has been damaged several times, there were several parts that could be used as materials.

What your husband is holding is a sword cut out of his torn lower body during an earlier raid on Pure Takaya.

The processing itself was difficult, and several failures were made, but the goods that could be made became the best delicacies.

"I can't be the main arm, but I made a wish to protect your husband"

"Oh. Thank you, I'll take care of it."

With that smile your husband pointed at me, this special day was closed.

Having gone through a day called today, there's one thing I found out.

After all, I want to be held by your husband.

I don't know what that would be.

I don't even know what I want to be with your husband.

But today I felt I didn't want to spend this special time with your husband for a limited time.

To do this, the first thing you need to do is ask your husband to hold you tight.

Let's do our best to find out where we're going from there.

I was determined to do that again.

Two days later I followed Diospiro, who, with his master, became a remembered city.

At the end of the day, it remained unclear why those Deep Tsunami Tigers and Sadias were in Diospiro.

I didn't even get a chance to talk to you.

At the parting, Sadias said, 'I'll see you if I have an edge,' but I guess we didn't have an edge.

That's what I thought.

… but at a later date I shall change that perception.

Because the path between them and your husband will be difficult to avoid.

Even though the encounter itself was a coincidence, in a sense, there was an inevitable circumstance there.

But before that we had to go through one encounter.

An unintended encounter, I can't say enough.

Because I had been warned before.

Because of everything, I forgot that.

No. I hadn't forgotten, whether something was wrong or not.

I never thought that was what that meant, and I couldn't have imagined it would be such a tease.

Without knowing what awaited us, we embarked on a journey back to Sister Lily and Gabella.
