Naguri Tamer no Isekai Seikatsu ~ Kōeinanoni zen’ei de tatakau mamono tsukai ~

I left the kingdom of Hendir.

I didn't have to leave.

There was also an option to remain in a country with good people, but that did not allow me and myself to be in the situation we are in.

"Why, the progress is slow."

"I'm sorry."

When I returned to the branch, my men took me to the hall.

In the hall, there is a special magical instrument created by the Demon King, and the shadow projected three-dimensionally as light - the Demon King leaked a frustrating voice.

"You neglected your duty without my permission...?

"... that's right."

"Are you kidding me? Do you have any idea how much you lost because of your negligence?"

He takes anger with his knees on the ground.

For a while, I was spoiled by the violent rumours of the Demon King, named Caution, and I decided to look at the fold of the story and ask what I had been trying to apply for.

"If you'll excuse me, could you turn over someone who can do the work?"

"You will be there."

"But there's a limit to what I can do alone."

Don't answer me.

……

You're not the only one moving. One of the other… executives is risking his life for a plan to invade the St. Real. Do you... have a limit? "

The demon king who showed obvious frustration clasped his mouth.

It's only a black shadow, but it seems irritating enough to tell without looking at the person.

Don't ask me for instructions. If you need to find it, if you can't find it, cut your life and serve it. "

…… I understand. "

Well then, that's it. The next “St. Real's Plan” will punish you if you don't recover your losses. "

Speaking out, the Demon King cuts off the magic trick and disappears.

After a brief silence, I slowly stood up and returned to the office where I had been away for a while with a big sigh.

When I entered the office, I noticed that there was someone buried in the scattered documents.

It's Nia.

You've somehow been replacing me while I was on vacation.

Hey, wake up.

"Uhh, uhh, hey, I don't want the paperwork...."

What should I do?

This is a really helpless brain muscle, but I'm really sorry about that.

I woke up rubbing my eyes to make Nia's impression a little better.

"I'm sorry. It pushed me to work....."

"... uhhh"

"... Nia?"

Wait, something's wrong.

It's helpless to have a bear under your eyes, but your eyes are empty.

Nia, who noticed me next door, suddenly flew in, brightening her expression.

"Iris! It's coming back! Souvenirs!?"

"Get back to your senses!"

"Bh!?"

Honestly, I can't watch, so I smile like a child and slap Nia in the bottle.

She looked up at me as if she had returned to me after a bite in the air and fell into the ground, stunned with her cheeks held down.

"Ha, what am I...?"

You're back. It's still limited to this. "

If you go crazy, it will heal if you hit it.

With a twinkle, she talks to me in a dazed state.

"... where's the black lion? They hate you for being too persistent? You want me to get along with Rifa? I'm old, so be careful...? Uh, why?"

Looks like you're still confused.

"Let's do it again...."

"Ah, eh, I don't know, but don't!? I'm insane! Because it's normal!?"

Waving his hands slowly, he lowered his hands to Nia.

So did you realize that I was here, Nia?

"You don't have to do paperwork anymore...?"

"Oh, you can rest now."

"... yeah, I'll help you."

... what?

Did he just say he'd help?

Not surprisingly, I put my hand on her forehead.

"You, Nia? Really? Are you seriously ill?"

"It's too rude!? Well, I've learned a lot about the difficulty of working in England...."

"Huh?"

"I don't want to fall to the same level as those bastards!"

Ah, I knew it was me.

Nia's the only one who can say this.

I appreciate your help with the work, but considering her current condition and what I'm about to do... you should decline.

"... no, not now. I want you to take care of something and rest now."

Hmm, okay.

Nodding with a sleepy face, she picks up a blanket that is being thrown into the office.

Looks like you're going to sleep here.

Well, I don't blame him for sleeping here... but I wanted to ask you something.

"What do you think of the Devil?"

"Huh? I want to stop breathing. Rather rebellious?"

Full smile.

But my eyes didn't laugh at all.

Looks like there aren't any shards of loyalty left, huh?

All right, let's get some rest.

"?...... Goodnight then"

Nia starts to breathe quietly in a few seconds as she rolls around the blanket.

As I watched the situation, I looked at the luggage I brought.

"... you want to leave it?"

First, I exit the office and move to a shaped room.

Turning on the lights and stepping into a room with barely anything on it, I take out the bags that were packing most of my luggage from the bags I put on my shoulders.

"That's all I could bring..."

It's potted plants and seeds.

Received from my client when I first worked as an adventurer.

As expected, I could not bring the flower itself, but I received a lot of seeds.

Plant seeds in potted plants by the window and water them.

I stared at the bowl that had just planted the seeds and felt a little emotion.

It's quite a small place.

"---!?"

Turning to the voice from behind - there was no sound in the chair of my room, which was supposed to have closed the door earlier, and a girl was sitting.

Seeing that figure, I immediately knelt on the floor.

It's obviously different from the time of the Demon King - he sweats cold at the feeling of intimidation that makes him think he has surrendered from his heart.

"You didn't have to kneel. Come on, you must be tired. Sit down here."

"... thank you."

Sitting on the offered chair, the girl who moved around behind the chair - Melia - was more likely to put her hands on her back.

I didn't know you were already here...

Angry I remember her first words and squeeze out her trembling voice.

"I'm sorry. Dear Medullarium, I will prepare your room as soon as possible..."

"Fufufu, do you like smart tokens? Ah, it's a long name, so Merliah is fine."

"... are you sure?"

"My name really means what he calls me, so I don't care about anything else."

Scared by a flat voice.

Whether she is called by my name or not, she doesn't care as much as her hair.

"But there was also a terrible lord. Fufu, but it's funny. I can't believe the Devil was such a funny person."

"Look, what did you want?"

"Yes, from the snake I put in your clothes."

A small white snake emerged from the hem of my clothes and returned to Merliah's hand.

When did that happen?

From the day you asked me to negotiate?

If so, I didn't feel alive.

The presence of that little snake meant that my life had always been held by her.

"I'm glad you're keeping your promise."

"... yes"

"I'd be happy if you kept your promise. Unknown, I learned about it recently. Fufufu"

Merliah laughs with joy.

However, she stopped the smile unexpectedly and leaned towards my ear from behind.

"That's why you're going to move for your promise, right?"

I can't move.

She smiles at me because she can't even respond to the tension, and turns around in front of me sitting down and looks down.

Even though her face was a girl with a tremendous smile, her eyes were like seeing a worm crawling on the ground - an inorganic thing.

"For Kate's sake and for her own life, it was the Demon King Army that you offered as a negotiation."

Moving under the Devil King, I am now a deviant token of existence called the Divine Beast.

But that's what I wanted to do myself.

Of course, there was a fear of serving her - it seemed much better than serving that demon king.
