Monster no Goshujin-sama

Ten.

"How's the progress, Takahiro?"

Talked to me, I clasped my hand in the magic toolbag.

Looking back, there was a figure of Silan trying to hide in order to gaze at me, who was poking his knee on the floor.

"I'm just finishing up. How's Silan?

"This is over,"

At such a close distance as to breathe, Silan laughed.

These days Silan takes off his knight's armor when he doesn't need it and dresses up as a girl, except for his hip sword.

My hair, which I had put together in one piece, flowed through the chest of my blouse with a frontal appearance and glowed in the sunlight as it plunged through the window of the room.

"Nevertheless, at last"

Silan continued, narrowing his eyes to me by accident.

"I hope it's going well."

"Really."

Mr. Shimazu and Iino were scheduled to bring home the results of the past month today.

If it goes well at the end, even tomorrow, with the help of Shimazu-san's "Circle of Fairies," we will be heading to the Imperial Capital.

I was getting ready for it, and what I was looking at right now was the package.

The members who were headed to the Imperial City had also decided.

My family first.

It is also to be accompanied by surviving men and Ella from inside the dragon abyss and Philip from Akel and several civilians.

And so is Berta.

She was recovering after Kudo's visit without setting aside time to do so.

I guess that means I'm used to it.

Either way, it was enough to care that it hit me hard enough to stop.

By now, he'll be in the sun at his favorite place, along with a rendezvous.

It's the last day, too, based on the circumstances.

"It's not a strange time for you to have arrived at the earliest. No. I've heard beforehand that the speed of travel may be delayed by a day or two due to the drain of magic, more than depends on the power of the 'Circle of Fairies'"

Silan leaked a bitter laugh.

"You're kind of restless. I don't care if I know I can't help it. What did you say until you found out the results... What?

Syran, who I was about to tell you, blinked.

So I realized that I was staring at Silan's face.

Failure.

As a matter of fact, I waved with a slightly bumpy feeling.

"Uh, no. Bad. Nothing."

"Was anyone thinking about someone else?

Silan pointed it out without putting my hair in, and I was stifling.

Seeing this one react like that, Silan shook his shoulder.

"Oh. Sounds like you hit it."

"... how did you find out?

"Somehow. Is this the one called Woman Inquiry? Heh heh. I may have found out a little bit about the girl, too."

Laughs like a flower's corn.

Those appearances were the girls themselves, no matter how they looked.

Even though there is a pedigree pattern called elf, it has been increased before, and the silane is beautiful now.

Whatever I say, the girl in love was pathetic.

So much so that the fact that the thought is directed at me becomes incredible.

"I'm not going to blame you."

I may have looked awkward.

Siran said he was rushed.

"I was just wondering. Can I ask you something?"

"It's..."

Encouraged, I was a little lost.

Because it was a less distracting story.

But on second thought, I reconsidered that this might be a good opportunity.

"... right. Can we only talk to Silan about this?"

"Only to me?

"Oh. Because I don't know if it's the Lillies... well, what if I just stand there? Let's sit down."

Though there is no fatigue in the normal sense of the word in the silane of the undead body, this one does not settle down when it is left standing.

Encouraged Silan, I moved to the couch.

Actually, I've been having a little trouble lately.

Lie down in line, then cut out the story.

There's something I don't know.

"Say?

"... sounds weird, but Silan had a good friend when he was in the Knights."

"Huh? Yeah. Pretty much."

Silan answered me seriously as I looked at the void poked at me.

"You're a comrade who keeps his life together. I was an ancient stock in the Knights, and I was quite close to you."

"Of course they had men."

"Yes.... Ah, that. Even so, it doesn't mean that men and women get along."

"I know that. Silan is a beginner because I know him best."

Silan caged his mouth.

"Well, you can't be told that. Well, I'm in trouble."

I'll grab it around my arms, like I'm protesting.

It wasn't even like her, it was a bit of a rambling trick.

He also showed me occasionally these days.

On the fingertips I grabbed, my powers weren't even tight.

A sweet contact that just touches and only reduces the distance between each other for that matter.

Distance between lovers.

I think so.

"Already. So, Takahiro. After all, what is it?"

A slightly obstinate upward look turns this way.

"Yeah. Well, what. This is just a general theory."

And I chose the word, and put it out in my mouth.

"For a girl, do you think a sense of distance like us right now is normal if you're close to a guy? It doesn't have to be a lover."

Silan was decent.

"Are you talking about Lord Mennaka?

……

They say it lightly, and I lose my word.

Because it was a star.

There was no point in choosing words.

"Is that the trouble of Lord Takahiro? Sure, I wouldn't ask the monsters, Lord Lily, if I were to ask how the girls are normally...... no. I can't say I've lived a very normal girl's life either."

Silan's eyes, hidden in his eyelids and only on one side, dwelt a strange light.

"And it's surprising. I always enjoyed the both of you and watched you as you were friendly. Anything offensive?

"No, I'm not offended."

I clearly denied this.

"Not at all. I'm in trouble because I don't."

"What does that mean"

They made me look suspicious.

It's a little hard to talk about, but can't you help clouding the language here?

"Somehow, I'm a man too."

"Yes."

"... when approached by defenselessness, there is something strange about it"

"Lord Mennaka is an attractive man, and naturally?

Increasingly Siran looked strange.

I snorted back.

"Right. But it's a reaction to the opposite sex."

"... oh. Is that what you mean?"

A satisfactory color floated on Silan's face before giving an explanation to the end.

"Okay. Takahiro doesn't want to show the part where he's a man to the masculine phobias."

"That's the place"

Siran, who met at Fort Chilea, does not know in detail what happened to Mr. Kato before that.

However, I have traveled with you for so long that I see and know the current situation.

I guess the circumstance is accompanied by a rough guess.

Understanding was quick, but Silan went on to voice his doubts.

"I understand the story. But I think Takahiro will be fine."

It was a strange voice from the bottom of my heart.

"That's all you two will be building."

"You think?"

"Yes, I'm worried."

There was nothing at all suspicious about the tone of that answer.

"Right."

Even I had no words to deny it.

Because I did feel what was between you and Kato, even though it was the path that wasn't connected.

"Maybe what Silan is saying is right"

"If so."

"But I don't want to hurt Kato just in case."

I blocked the word of Silan, which I had spoken.

"I don't want to hurt you. Never again."

Tell.

This may have been the first time I've told anyone the truth about this matter.

"I've done something terribly irrational before, Mr. Kato. So I don't want to hurt you again."

I had regrets.

The bigger I am feeling right now with Kato, the more deeply regrettable I had.

"I met Mr. Kato when he was in human disbelief about one of the colony collapses. I couldn't believe her back then. I'm sure it was the time I needed help the most."

"... but Takahiro must have helped Lord Minnaka. That's what I hear."

"I don't deny the facts I helped. But that's it. I could have helped him more. And yet I couldn't do it that way. That's another fact."

Of course, this is something I can still think of.

Even with that recognition, I couldn't stop regretting it.

"Kato is a good girl, so she helped us in that situation. I'm the one who should have had a hard time. Honestly, I think it's a miracle that she didn't get broken in that situation... and when I think of the fact that it could have broken, I'm relieved from the bottom of my heart"

At that time, it was true that there was no other way to do it.

The metastasizers other than myself were all enemies to me then.

That was full of convenience.

But whether that was enough or not is a different story.

At least, I didn't intend to flush myself out that I had no choice.

"Is that what happened?"

When he finished listening, Silan nodded one thing.

"I really thought there was something about Takahiro against Lord Minnaka, but now I'm convinced. For Takahiro, Shiatsu Makoto is a brittle and weak vitreous artisan. I almost destroyed it, so I couldn't help but take care of it more."

"Maybe there's something like that."

That must have been one of the words that came out because he was one of the people who had seen us before.

I accepted the word because I felt it was a targeted expression.

However, Syran's next words, which leaked a bitter laugh, were unusual and ambiguous by hitting him.

"And 'cause you're a good kid'? That's how you were thinking... that the result of not communicating the core part of the vitreous workmanship was a structure that you would never pass on if you didn't say it"

"Silan?"

"No. Nothing. It would be an extra favor."

Silan shook his head sideways.

And I put my finger on my mouth like I thought back.

"It's just that. Because of this, Lord Takahiro consulted me. Can I help you a little bit?"

Show me how you think, then laugh all the time.

Clear blue eyes peered into my eyes.

"Takahiro. Earlier, you asked if it was normal for Lord Mennaka to be close to you."

"... oh"

"Unfortunately, I cannot say for certain. I've always been in the Knights, and I can't say I've lived normally as a girl in flattery, and in the first place, even the world I was born and raised in is different. So this is only going to make my impression -"

After prejudging, Siran spoke his own opinion.

"- I'm sure that's not normal for Lord Mennaka."

And I was hardened by the word that I was told.

As I expected such a reaction, Siran went on without worrying.

"Regardless, this is only my impression. Yeah. It's just my impression, not knowing what happened to you two in the past and with a different background than Lord Minnaka. So listen to me in half."

There is little overlap between Silan and Kato.

Silan was aware of the lightness of his words.

That's why I found out she dared say this story.

"However, if what I am saying is right, what will Lord Takahiro do?

That was a word that made me turn my thoughts to something I'd been trying not to think about.

There was an image of a moving gear that was rusty.

"What do I do...?

Encouraged, assuming.

Think what you haven't thought about.

What if it wasn't normal for Kato to be close to me, the opposite sex?

What if it was something special?

That means I'm very special to her.

That's impossible.

That's what I've thought.

I assumed that getting her to think was in itself an act that could hurt her.

But what if, as a matter of fact, it wasn't?

All this time I was just imprisoned by assumptions.

Even though the distance narrowed so much that I couldn't help but think about those things, I stayed put.

If that's what this is about, I...

"... oh my god"

Plenty more than ten seconds, I would have been stiff.

I noticed myself like that and exhaled heavily.

Keep your body on the back of the couch.

I was noticed.

"If I talk to you, will I certainly get that answer back?"

I did not envisage such an answer.

It was a detour that I hadn't thought that far while consulting.

"If it was Takahiro's character and there were circumstances like the one they were talking about earlier, there would be no choice."

Silan uttered words that showed understanding.

"It's just not just the feelings of Lord Vegetables that matter. When that happens, what will Lord Takahiro do... what do you think, feel, and want to do? I think it's important around here."

"Right. Silan's right."

If this, for example, was spoken by Lily or Rose, there is the weight of those who know the circumstances.

But as far as Silan speaks, this is only a 'what if' story.

Kato's story is not an issue at this time.

In this case, the subject is only me.

If so, how do you decide?

No. More clearly, what do I think of Kato?

That's where Silan was asking questions.

"So what do you think?"

On top of each other, Silan asks.

I looked up at the ceiling as it was brought to the back of the couch.

I didn't even think about it, so I don't know.

... Oh, my God, I'm so glad so far.

But I was already able to think.

The smile of a happy, shy girl came to mind.

We've been through a tough time together.

The bond that grew up was strong and deep, and there was no doubt that he was one of those closest to anyone.

Touched hands. An unprotected trick.

If that's what this is all about...

"Looks like you got an answer."

Siran, who was looking up at my side, said.

I haven't said anything yet.

Would it have been that easy to understand?

Unexpectedly, I seized my eyes.

"... I never thought I was of such a caring nature"

"A lot, is it? Heh heh. Takahiro?

Siran gave a pleasant voice on the side.

"If that is true, then I must thank you for the migratory place of Takahiro. It's the third person."

"Silan......"

"It's a joke. Yeah, that's not what this is about."

Silan took my hand when he grinned as he shrugged.

"The reality of this world is too harsh. Death is right around the corner. Among other things, the difficulties we faced were enormous. By overcoming them, we have become one that we tend to divide around Lord Takahiro. It is natural for those who are cornered to seek affection for the opposite sex who have fostered bonds as a base for healing and securing wounds from each other. And the way we are is not unacceptable in this world"

Wrap my hands in both hands and stroke them with love.

It was like trying to feel what was there.

"The same thing is true of Lord Takahiro's thoughts on Lord Minnaka. Not to mention that the situation of Takahiro and his lords at the time, which fell from the colony, was too terrible, wasn't it? Then it's even better. I feel a special bond because I regret not knowing those days myself."

"Silan......"

"It's understandable that you can't abandon the values of the world you were in. Still, Lord Takahiro has managed to fold into a change in values by giving reasons that Lord Lili and his family are. That is why I also know that I will remember a particular sense of contraindication towards the Hall of Vegetables, which is the same transferee, not a family member. It may also be that the circumstances of Lord Mennaka and past events have caused us to remember the ease"

After getting a good idea of the situation, Syran told him.

"But even if I decided not to see it, it doesn't mean my feelings don't go away"

"... right. Silan's right."

I nodded and closed my eyes.

Think carefully with a peek into your chest.

To be honest, even now, I don't think Kato admires me as a heterosexual.

That's because you're looking at that awful sight and what she looks like dead afterwards.

Plus... yes. Silan was just saying, vitreous.

Perhaps some places have made her presence inviolable that should never be touched.

However, if all of that is incorrect and Kato asks for it......

Don't reject it for the nagging reason that she's a metastatic.

I thought so.

"Thank you, Silan. It's all sorted out."

Lift your eyelids and thank Siran for his vision.

If we hadn't talked like this, I would have been confused if the time had come.

"No, for me too, Lord Minnaka is an important companion."

Silan glanced at the sword that was falling back on his hips.

Its eyes narrow so that it remembers something.

"I hope this pays you back"

"There was just one mistake, though."

"... Huh?

Place your opposite hand on Silan's cheek.

There was something I couldn't miss asking and I felt I needed to do this.

All you have to do is act.

"Earlier, you said you didn't know what happened before you met Silan and you regretted it. It's a mistake."

Silan looked surprised, but did not resist.

"You don't have to think that way. Silan is special to me."

"Takahiro..."

With a hand touching your cheek, reach out your thumb and touch your soft lips.

As I glanced through the contours of my lips, the girl's tongue licked her fingertips, of course.

Silan's eyes look up at this one, slim and narrow.

Silan closes his eyes.

The distance is close.

"- Takahiro!

Bullshit, a distant silane looked back at the window.

"Oh!"

It was a sudden move, but I was moving without delay.

Silan rushes over to the window and chases him to gaze outside.

"Hey, Silan. Now..."

"You've been watched, I don't know if they will one day"

"I knew it."

At that moment, I felt my gaze, too.

Maybe they've been watching me for a long time.

I felt signs, so I could notice.

It moved quickly, but there are no suspicious figures already.

Give up early and ask Silan, who moved before me.

"Have you seen the other guy?

"... Yep. moments, but I could see him jumping off a tree."

This is upstairs.

By climbing the trees planted a little further away, they seemed to crawl indoors through the windows.

Most importantly, it's not even bright.

There's a distance, and I doubt it looked decent.

However, in this case, the behavior of wanting this one from such a place was a problem in itself.

"It was a ponytail girl. From the look of his face, he is the same metastasizer as the Takahiro Lords. It was a face I didn't know."

"… Metastatic"

I groaned.

Speaking of transferees, Iino or Shimazu, but neither of them was what Shiran saw.

I haven't heard about the metastasizers visiting apart from that.

Even if it was an abrupt visit, in this situation, the Akel royal family would turn the information around right here.

Given that there was no such thing, the earlier suspicious person would be the intruder.

"Let's tell everyone"

"Right."

The situation needs to be urgent.

Me and Silan took off and left the room.

I needed to move assuming the worst case scenario.

The worst case scenario is if the suspicious are transferees, have cheats, and are hostile to us.

We should have all acted just in case.

"Oh, Lord. What's wrong?"

"We need to talk."

In the meantime, I'll rendezvous with everyone who was nearby.

What's missing is Lily visiting the library and Kato looking at the kids, Rose, Ayama and Berta.

When I briefly explained, I went down to the first floor of the building that we were all renting.

So I saw an unexpected face.

"Ah, Mashima."

There was Iino.

Next door was Shimazu-san.

Apparently he was trying to come to us, and Mr. Phillip was taking him with a few others.

Iino runs this way.

"You were there."

"Yeah. A little while ago"

Exchanging words, I'm surprised.

Because Iino looked like he was in trouble, like he was angry.

"What's wrong with you"

"Kind of. I want Mashima to help me too."

On the face pointed at this one, I saw something bitter.

"How could the child who followed me disappear in a gap with his eyes removed? Look now..."

"Ah! Senior Yona!

There was a loud echo in the hallway.

Turning around, there was a girl there.

A little girl.

At the back of his head, a short ponytail is shaking.

"Ah."

Silan raised his voice and Iino made an angry voice.

"Oh! Here it is! Where have you been?

"I'm sorry!

Answer me aloud, a girl comes running.

Along the way, she glanced at Silan.

Laughs more.

A cheerful look. An innocent face.

"You just did."

"Are you..."

"I didn't think you'd notice. No, I'm sorry I surprised you."

The eye turned to this way.

"No, I was curious to see what Mr. Mashima was like."

"Hey, Aoi? What did you do?

Iino's eyes became dazzling.

The name Aoi seems to be the girl's name.

"... what, sunflower?

It was at the same time that I hooked up and the girl called Aoi brightened her expression.

"Vegetables!

You heard the noise, Mr. Kato and Rose were about to come over here together.

A girl runs over there.

"Aoi?

Kato gave a surprised voice.

For a moment, Rose seemed alert and tried to block her, but when she found out she knew Kato, she took her feet off.

As a result, nothing disturbed the girl.

"Vegetables, long time no see!

"Yikes!?

The girl who rushes over tightens Kato as she is.

"Nanaka, I missed you!

The girl gives a voice that impresses me.

Iino sighed next to me.

"Hey, Iino"

"I know. I don't know. I'll introduce you."

Iino's gazing this way.

"That kid is your hand washing sunflower. It has two names," Rigoku Snow "."
