Monster no Goshujin-sama

10. Girl's Hidden

Ten.

After that, nothing in particular, the night dawned.

The next day, as planned, we left the pioneering village of Elves.

Heading there is the village of Silan and Kay's hometown.

It will be a two-day journey.

What was slightly different from what was planned was that Mr. Leah and Helena accompanied him on this journey.

It was because Helena said she wanted to go to the next village with us at the breakfast table that was served at the village chief's house on the morning of our departure.

Unparalleled confrontation with Silan, and familiarity - although he won't admit it in person - with her.

There is no wonder in itself that I wish to accompany you.

Her grandparents, Melvin and Leah, also seemed to interpret it that way.

I just knew the truth about how Helena started saying that.

Helena is witnessing what happened yesterday.

I know you're worried about Silan, and you're willing to ask what's going on.

I have decided to allow Helena to accompany me.

Instead, I myself felt the need to talk to Helena, so I might have said boat over this.

Helena was doing the job I asked her to do last night perfectly.

In secret, the pantry was cleaned up beautifully, and there was no trace of Silan's deed, and Mr. Melvin was told that I had divided the meat of the herd.

I'm just glad I'm keeping my mouth shut.

If Helena wasn't the one who spotted Silan last night, things would be more serious.

It could have been.

I had to thank you, and I felt the need to follow up.

Helena, who hates herself and is in a hurry to prepare to leave, did not have time to talk alone until she left the village, but during her two-day journey to the neighbouring village, she intended to set up an opportunity to talk.

When Helena decided to go, Ms. Leah also offered to accompany her.

I guess I was worried my granddaughter wouldn't coarsely phase it.

I understood her feelings, so I didn't refuse the offer, either, about this.

"I'm sorry, Takahiro. Helena said she couldn't..."

"No, I don't mind. Instead, was Mr. Leah the one who was glad? You'll be leaving the village."

"Thank you for your concern. But there's no problem. My role in the village is to represent my husband."

Leah explained that it doesn't necessarily have to be more than a surrogate.

In fact, when going to the town of Diospiro for a petition, Mr. Lea had left the village, around which there must be a division of roles.

"This is just the right opportunity, so I'm going to show my face to someone I know in the neighbouring village. Either way, I wasn't planning on showing my face nearby."

"Really?

"Yeah, in the pioneering villages around here, people hang out with each other once a month."

In the Tree Sea, the connection between villages is an important thing that should not be interrupted.

For example, information on neighboring monsters is an important one that must be shared between villages.

For this reason, they regularly share information between villages, even at some risk.

Sometimes we also turn our manpower to crises in other villages.

Perhaps besides these profitability aspects, there is also a strong sense of fellowship working living on the same dangerous land, and in the first place, as you can see from Mr. Leah and the Silans, the villages have shallow blood ties with each other.

By maintaining close cooperation not only within the interior, but also between the villages, they were constantly surviving a dangerous land called the Tree Sea.

"We have been delayed in contacting you here because we were so full of hands on one of the herd green rabbits, but we have also solved that. It also has the purpose of communicating that fact. And..."

"And?"

"At the corner, I miss saying goodbye to Silanes for a long time."

That's what I said, Mr. Leah was laughing.

I hear Silan had been deposited in their village at one time.

To Mr. Leah, Siran may be like another grandson.

Mr. Leah was currently walking with Silan, Kay and Helena about ten meters in front of my steering car.

The four elves are frankly exchanging words.

I can't hear what you're talking about, but it looked so fun.

"Mr. Silan, but from what I've seen, you don't seem to have any particular problems"

Looking at their wanderings, Rose, who was sitting next to your podium, spoke.

"Yesterday, when I heard from your husband back, he rubbed my mind a lot."

Rose seemed to care about Silan, too.

I've asked with a slightly worrying voice.

"But you're okay now, aren't you? The problem was," One thing yesterday, "it was" enough. "

"Oh. That's what Silan tells me."

I snorted back.

"Yesterday I had a good 'eat'. The hunger is raging. Of course, if it doesn't continue, the same thing will happen again... for that matter, last night's discussion."

Last night, after we brought Silan back from that, we all discussed what was ahead.

I feel a little sleepless because of it, but it was necessary.

"As long as we work together, Silan's physique is not like pulling our legs. For example, if one of us spends the night watching this road, we can always get out."

Because he was weirdly concerned, Silan was just unable to move, which is not a big deal by nature.

"In the first place, Silan himself doesn't even have to hunt for his prey. Because Lily, with her nose, is better as a hunter. If Lily just eats the prey she's gained, she'll have less time to get out."

"Sure. I think that's a good idea."

Rose hammered.

"After all, the reluctance that we shouldn't be bothering you has made the situation worse. … just a little bit, I think it's a failure that doesn't sound like Mr. Silan"

"I guess that means the sense of responsibility was too strong"

"... oh. That's how you can take it."

Rose tilted her neck faintly.

"If your husband says so, I guess so. But, suppose, that's a hard one. I am aware of Mr. Silan as one or another person. Still, sometimes, I make that kind of mistake..."

"That, I have no choice. Everyone has their failures. As I said yesterday, the crux is after that. I'm sure it was a mistake that didn't seem like it, but Siran would never make the same mistake again."

"Yes, I think so, too"

I laughed a little at Rose for agreeing.

"But I'm glad we made it through without anything."

Honestly, there were a few occasions, but I managed to get over it.

As for the meat of the missing herd, we have been deluded, and Helena, our only witness, has helped us.

Future measures were also taken.

When I say what I left to do, it's about as much as a follow up to Helena, but that's just not the essence.

It's about tomorrow evening to get to the village, and in the meantime, it was always a good time to talk.

There is also a certain aim for a long stay in the pioneering village, which is the original aim, as well as resolving the Silan thing that I have always cared about.

First of all, you can say it's a relief.

I breathed a small breath.

At that time, behind those of us who sat on the table, a cover hidden from the inside of the car was lifted up.

"Senior Mashima, Mr. Rose"

It was Kato who put his face out of the car.

"What's up, Kato?"

I asked, retightening my mind, which was loosening.

"Is something wrong?

Switch your consciousness from conversation about Silan to the next issue.

But Kato laughed and waved.

"No. That's not what I meant. Hey, I wondered what you were doing."

"... oh. Oh, my God, you know what?"

Apparently, there's something I need, and I didn't show my face.

I had this thing with Silan in my head, so I took it easy on him.

"What were you two talking about?

Kato, smiling, compared to me and Rose, let her tilt her neck small.

"Hey, is this about Mr. Rose?

"Rose's?

What are you talking about?

I have no idea.

"Is that it? You haven't talked about it yet? Mr. Rose, I was happy to say that the things I was making were going well."

"Really?

Turn your gaze.

Rose nodded after showing a slightly hesitant bare gesture.

"What. I wish you'd talked to me."

"No. Your husband was busy crusading the herds and making compromises with the village elves, and other times, he was dealing with the Gerberas. Regardless of the report that what you were making is complete, we don't want you to go along with a trivial story about the journey…"

The reason it was spoken of was how rosy and far-fetched it was.

But if that's what I want it to be, it's another story.

I was just wondering what you said, and Kato stepped out of it.

"No, Mr. Rose."

A luxurious finger followed Rose's cheek.

"If you say that, you won't be able to talk about anything but what you need."

"Vegetables..."

"Right. Kato's right."

I laughed, too, and hammered.

"Don't be weird. Talking to Rose is fun for me. Don't take pleasure from me."

When I said it, Rose snorted.

"... I understand"

There is a much faded grin on his face staring at this one as he brings his hand with a long white handbag on it.

It's a grin.

He had such an adorable look on his face that his chest rang.

Somehow, Rose's face became invisible and subtle I let my gaze slip forward.

……

From time to time, like this, Rose has occasional moments that make her feel better.

As she became dressed as a woman, stopped hiding her face in a mask and was able to give her a natural look, those opportunities were definitely increasing.

I've been talking to Rose longer than I used to for some reason here, so, furthermore, I was aware of such a change.

I'm talking about a feeling that really has no basis whatsoever... I had the illusion that the siege net was narrowing.

The feeling of being hunted down was never uncomfortable, it just made me feel a little restless.

I opened my mouth to deceive its restlessness.

"So, Rose. What did Kato just say about the progress?

"Yes, it's about studying this car, using magic to move."

"Of this car?... Speaking of which, you've been looking into it for a long time. Hey, are you finally ready to make it?

"No. That hasn't happened yet, but there's been a little progress. And then, about the new equipment, we also saw the shape in some of the things that were simultaneously parallel and trial and error."

"Well, I'm looking forward to that."

Exchange words in a flamboyant manner, feeling the vibration of the car standing.

There was no lie in the words I told Rose earlier, and I enjoyed the conversation.

It was also a moment of peace of mind.

Although the current situation is going well for the first time, there are many walls to clear from now on.

If so, it was felt that if we were to look ahead, we would also need time for these breaths.

"Should I show you the real thing anyway"

"I think that's okay. There are some things I can't show you here, and just now, I'm going to talk to you during the break."

"Oh. I'm looking forward to it."

"Yes."

The story comes to a close.

"Speaking of which,"

As usual, Kato opened his mouth.

"Back to the beginning..."

"What?

"It was before I came. If you weren't talking about Mr. Rose, what were you two talking about?

Half of them were casual questions to look for a story.

It's about Mr. Silan.

In a tone of nothing, Rose replied.

"Oh. Is that the case"

Kato lowered his voice.

"You're a little worried, aren't you?"

There was a slightly caring color floating around in the face that remained unbearable.

"Mr. Silan, I have a very precarious impression."

"... Huh?

The reaction was as if it had been unexpected.

Until just now, Rose and I were talking about Silan and I were already feeling safe.

You can say they poked me in the void.

I thought you were talking about something.

Though it was too late to remember the doubt.

Because, just then, it was.

Elves walking ahead of me.

A girl walking on that end dropped something.

It's like an affordable length stick.

It was the girl's left arm.

I thought it was a mistake.

Maybe that's what I wanted to think.

But it wasn't.

My arm with my armor, it did roll to the ground.

My forearm was just chopped off near my elbow.

Strangely, there is no way that blood will come out of that cross section.

That, in one way or another, seems to make the expression 'taken' stick, and because of it, it lacked something called reality.

Mannequin arms.

Or some toy.

It looks like that, and it doesn't feel real as if it's an impossible nightmare.

But it was an indisputably brutal reality.

... I thought the problem was solved.

Rest assured, I was distracted.

I was already starting to think ahead.

Siran's word that it's okay.

I didn't even imagine that it was a lie, or that Silan had to be hunted down.

At the next moment, a scream broke, ripping silk, breaking the time that was calm.
