Monster no Goshujin-sama

35 - Kato Makita Perspective

It was not until the day had already tilted that Mr. Cass, with ingredients, appeared in our dwelling house.

"Here, use it"

"Thanks, that helps"

Lily receives a leather bag filled with ingredients according to her.

I followed him to the doorstep, and I received one of them.

The contents of the leather bags contained different ingredients.

In addition to the potatoes grown in the fields, they hunt mainly fish in the lake, native aquatic plants and monsters living in the coma forest for daily food.

For that which I have received, is thick water grass.

Among the leather bags received by Mr. Lily, one contained bread made from potatoes, one contained fish and the last contained bird's leg meat.

This meat seems to belong to a large bird monster called 'Howling Fezant'.

From what I've heard, it looks like a monster that looks a lot like pheasant except for its size.

Nevertheless, all I know is that it must have been a big bird because it was given to me after I had already finished processing my wings and hair.

"Speaking of, pheasants have been eaten in Japan for a long time, haven't they? Speaking of pheasants, it's a Japanese national bird, but one of the reasons I was chosen was because the meat is delicious."

"Huh? Was that why, that..."

"That's not all."

"'This' is delicious, too. I think it's the best ingredient you can get around here."

At your doorstep, talk to the public lightly.

A little gap between people and dragons is interesting around Mr. Cass handling monsters very naturally.

Anyway, I was looking forward to it because the meat means it's delicious.

I'm sure Senior Mashima will be delighted.

... If I were to say luxury, it would have been best if the people inside were used to cooking and, in fact, there seemed to have been a move to set up a welcome seat inside, but the fact that there was something about Robbia and that some people didn't have very good feelings for humans, such as Rex, just made me accommodate the ingredients in this way.

Unfortunately, I can't help but say something to Cass, who seemed sorry to talk to me about those insights.

Speaking of which, Mr. Cass was more concerned about the house.

"Do you care about Robbie?

"That's not... no. How is she doing?

For a moment, he seemed to have tried to delude himself, but soon Mr. Cass stopped taking care of it.

"I'm behaving fine. At least, on the surface."

"Really?"

Mr. Cass sighed.

And the door made a noise.

"Mm-hmm? Is this where you stand?

It was Mr. Gabella who showed up.

"What's the matter, you don't look floating"

She looked at Mr. Cass and looked surprised.

"Oh, no... Robbie, how are you?

"Lord Rose made you a toy to quit. I'm gonna stop playing with you."

Answering, Mr. Garbera comes here.

By the way, a toy made by Mr. Rose is a so-called dog toy.

Using that, it seems that Azuma is getting Robbie to play with it.

... Who the hell is your sister?

And, remembering the interaction between coming this far today, I have feelings that have no benefit either.

Well, I'm keeping myself with my sister's distractions, though I can't even think about it.

... Hmm, what do you think?

I don't think so.

"Okay, it's Cass. Lord, you're worried about Robbia, aren't you?

In this brief interaction, Mr. Garbera seems to have grasped the situation as well.

"I have nothing to show you. Leave it to the Lord."

I made it clear.

It also seemed irresponsible, but what was actually included in that language was full confidence in Senior Mashima.

From the bottom of my heart, I guess I believe everything will work out if I leave it to the seniors.

These attitudes of Mr. Gabella were a favorable one for me to think about a lot.

"In the first place, if that's what bothers you, why don't you and your Lord have dinner together? Sometimes when there's one more person, there's not enough ingredients."

"No, because I am... chief"

"Oh. You did. But isn't it good?

They said it in a really mild tone, and Mr. Cass rounded his eyes.

"It also means that it's always right. In other words, as a concubine, I have little surprise. I don't know the claim that we should, given what happened earlier, but that doesn't mean it doesn't matter how Robbie feels right now."

Mr. Garbera snorted, fluttering.

"If the concubines forcibly invited us, we'll make excuses."

"It... may be so"

Out of sight to get lost, Mr. Cass frowned.

"No, but you still won't like her."

"Hmm. If that's what you're going to insist on, I'm sorry I can't... but, well, think about it a little bit. Once we get out of here, Robbie will never come back here again. Well, the connection with Sadias seems to remain."

The only thing Mr. Malvina forbade was coming and going inside.

Basically, Mr. Sadias is out of the house, so I'm told he doesn't mind making contact with you if he needs to.

That's why Mr. Malvina is worried about Robbie.

She also tries to be the most convenient to the seniors who entrusted Robbie.

He also told me to rely on him if there was anything... and that in the worst case scenario, he could come inside and run.

Naturally, at that time, all connections to human society would be cut, but even if it would just be my last escape route, I would have appreciated it if I had tried being a senior.

There is a history of this, and even after leaving the interior, minimal connections are to remain.

However, that is only an engagement via Mr. Sadias.

"I don't know what's going to happen ahead, but we can't face each other for a while. Aren't you bored to regret not doing what you can?"

Ms Gabella's opinion was positive as she was, linear as it was abusive and more targeted than anything else.

Afraid of being hated, nothing moves.

Mr. Cass still seemed lost, but in the end, he nodded as if he had decided to.

"... right. Let us now join you."

"Uhm."

"Hehe, you don't have to feel that way. Robbie wouldn't mind that much either, Mr. Cass."

Lily was also delighted with Mr. Cass' decision.

"As far as I'm concerned, I'd love to be taught how to cook the ingredients I get."

"That's, yeah. I'll be happy to tell you."

We go back into the house while we are making fun of ourselves.

"Oh, yeah. I had to ask Cass something."

Along the way, Mr. Garbera said in a way I remember.

"Is there a cave in here where Robbia lived? I'd like you to lend it to me this evening, but I'm going to use it for something."

"No. That place was only used to trap Robbia, so no-one's leaning in now"

I guess I don't have very good memories.

A slight glimpse of the look, Mr. Cass replied.

"We're talking about falling apart, but I forgot about one of Takahiro's visits. You can still use it if you like."

"Thank you. I have a little something to do."

We turned to Kamado, talking to others.

While Robbie was bending her lips, Kath was depressed, and encouraging her when she noticed that she had come, the preparation of the dish went steadily.

After dinner we were having a moment of contemplation in our room.

In the room, Mr. Rose and Mr. Lily, Robbie, and Mr. Cass and I stopped.

When it comes to Senior Mashima, she is alone in another room.

I was thinking about it even while I was eating dinner, and by now, I guess I'm thinking a lot.

I was in this room watching over the dragon sisters with Rose messing with the spare arm and Lily spreading a book I had recently obtained.

"How was dinner?

"... Fair enough"

If Mr. Cass asks, Robbie puts it back together.

"What did you like?

"Nothing."

"If you like it, I thought I'd bring it tomorrow"

"Meat. I like big bird feet"

"Yes, I like it, too."

Like this, even during dinner, Mr. Cass was talking to Robbie about this.

At first, she was a grumpy Robbie, but she wasn't even the type who could continue to disturb people trying to treat her favorably, so by the end of dinner, she was starting to exchange words about what was unfathomable.

"Well, I'll bring it.... Ah, but. There might have been no more leg meat."

……

"Don't look like that. It's okay, 'cause I'll get it early tomorrow morning."

"... I'm not disappointed."

"Ah. Mr. Cass. If you're going hunting, could you take me with you?

Lily, who was listening, lifted her eyes from the book.

"If you could help, I'd appreciate it."

"Yeah. So, instead of helping, I'd like to have one, a whole"

"I don't mind that...... hey, wasn't there enough for what I brought today?

"Oh, yeah. That's not what I meant."

- and Mr. Lily starts talking about his mimic slime pseudo abilities.

In the meantime, Robbie was a little twitchy.

Noticing that, Mr. Rose opened his mouth, who was working on something with the spare arm in one hand.

"If you're curious, why don't Robbia come with us?

"Huh!"

Robbie's face turned red.

"Beh, nothing I...!

"That's good, Robbie."

I blocked her words, which I tried to disprove, a little louder.

I guess I was ashamed to have been poked at a picture star, but I'm sure this is a pattern of episodic objection and regret later.

Robbie is easy to understand, so it's not that hard to follow up on that.

"Mr. Bird, you want to get it, don't you? Wouldn't it be more certain to have manpower?

"Huh? Vegetables. You, what did you say... hmm? Ah!"

Robbie, who looked suspicious, brightened her face all the time.

"Oh, yeah, yeah. Better be sure."

"So Robbie's going, too?

In a laughing voice, Mr. Lilly also offered a help boat.

"Go"

And, Robbie answers instantly.

But as I noticed something, I shaded my expression.

"... ah. But I don't know what to say."

Say it like it's sinking.

I guess I'm still dragging on the daytime thing.

As an encouragement, Mr. Lily spoke up.

"I guess I'll be fine if I ask you to help me hunt monsters."

"The Rex one might make another noise."

"That's okay. Because if they blame you so hard, you should just be quiet."

Mr. Cass also served his mouth.

So you finally convinced me, Robbie snorted.

However, that look is not excellent.

You wanted to change the subject, Mr. Lily gave a bright voice.

"Even so... Mr. Rex. That guy seems a lot harder, too, doesn't he? When we met at noon, Robbie and I were about to get into a fight, and I had a hiccup."

"Excuse me."

"No. It's not like Mr. Cass apologizes."

Wave flirtatiously.

"I guess I feel too strongly about protecting the inside. Put aside the rumbling about your husband. I don't hate that type. Your husband has somewhere to go, too.... Well, your husband's not as solid as that."

"Mr. Rex seems a little unique, doesn't he?"

When I uttered my honest impression, Mr. Cass gave a slightly curvy look.

"There was that abominable case of my father's death, and only a man over some age was allowed to follow my father out to negotiate. Sadias and Rex were the older of the men left behind. My father told both of us to protect our families and not to return."

"... Was it"

"After the incident, Rex decided in his heart that protecting the inside was his role and encouraged him to train. In contrast, Sadias chose to go outside."

"'Seeker'. I thought you were talking about travelers seeking new heavens and earth..."

Among the dragons inside, Mr. Sadias was already asked why he was the only one out there.

"Yeah. There's only a limited amount of land I can put up 'The Fog Boundary'. In case you ever have to leave this place, it's the 'searcher' who looks for a place to move. Sadias first volunteered for this role and left with one of the two" Foundations of the World "cracks received from" Misty Inn "."

"Mr. Sadias and Mr. Rex... you two have a much different way of life"

"Yeah. But I think the starting point is the same. You both must still have that word of my father in your chest. After a long time, all the time…"

Mr. Cass must have seen both of those things the whole time.

Robbie looked up to her, who lived sideways with emotions that could not be expressed in words.

"Hey, Cass."

It was a rare, thornless, honest look.

"What?"

"... What was Dad like?

Robbia, who lost her father before she was born, naturally doesn't know what she looks like or who she is.

I guess I've never been more interested before, but as I've been listening to you, maybe I've been curious.

"Right. It was a divine dragon with a golden scale."

Asked, Mr. Cass looked a little happy.

"It was as big as my current mother's, but there was no crust. Obviously, he was kind to us, but fierce when he had trouble. He taught me how to hunt. Most of all, the hunt wasn't very good, and sometimes I crushed my prey... oh, sometimes I turned it off, and I was depressed. Sometimes my body was big and I wasn't very clever."

Mr. Cass spoke nostalgically as he exchanged episodes.

"Oh well."

Robbie hit the obscure gavel.

Perhaps the slightly blurred look is trying to portray his father in the back of his brain.

We watched her like that smiled.

These times must be big for young Robbie.

I guess the seniors' decision that we should visit the inside and talk properly was still the right one.

Even if there were some unfolding that I did not anticipate, I was able to roundly sum up the story of getting Robbie out of the inside, which was the original purpose, and I was also able to forge friendly relations with the dragon clan.

We could also know the facts we must know if we were to live with the monsters, Mr. Rose, in this world.

The unrest over the dragon clan has settled, I would say, where it should be calmed down.

All you have to do is heal your journey fatigue and think slowly about the information you get while you stay in here following Robbie......

As I thought about it, Lily opened her mouth in a mundane manner.

"Hey, Mr. Cass. All we talked about right now was when you looked like a dragon, right? When you were a human rat, what was it like?

I'm sure Ms. Lilli wanted Robbie to tell her more about her father.

Mr. Cass lowered his brow butt.

"Excuse me, but I'm not really impressed with you as a human being."

"Huh?"

To a decent Mr. Lily, Mr. Cass replied.

"My father didn't really go back to being human. Because it's easier to look like a dragon."

"Heh. Something like that...... is it?

Mr. Lilly tilts his neck.

I felt the same way.

Is it easier to look like a dragon, the point is, was that you were more natural to him?

I was reminded of Takaya.

He had the inherent ability to change into a beast, and at the end of the day, he became an unreasonable, authentic beast.

A little bit, maybe Robbie's father was the same.

Of course, unlike Takaya, who wanted to stop seeing the reality of losing Senior Mizushima and become a crazy beast, he wouldn't have lost his reason.

Having turned to intelligent dragons, he became a proud and gentle dragon.

Perhaps one of the reasons why I was able to give him a child during a while with 'Mr. Malvina, who doesn't like the art of humanization'.

Already he was not a 'person who could be a dragon', but a 'dragon itself'.

……

A metastasizer with the ability to change himself is no longer a human being.

This is also a somewhat interesting story.

Acquiring something has the side of losing something at the same time.

The mole, which has made it possible to live beneath the ground, is losing its power to sense light.

Whales and dolphins diving into the sea, unlike other mammals, cannot have feet to tread on the ground.

The point is, it's about capacity.

Dragons and humans.

Or, beasts and humans.

There may not have been enough vessels called humans to fit the two ways.

If you think about it that way, maybe this is also considered a change that is hard to avoid accompanying the inherent ability to change itself......

……

I often thought of that, watching my sisters show how they had broken it down.
