I have returned to the kingdom of Hendir.
I haven't been away for so long, but I feel like I haven't been back in a long time.
I'd really like to get back to the hotel with Merck and Lyla right away, but first I have to report to Jessica in the castle.
Me, Rifa and Nia, Chisato, and Leon and Mao went to the castle first.
Hey, welcome home!
That was tough.
The news of the defeat of the Demon King army has already spread, and the people of the city have spoken out.
I've been asked to volunteer as an adventurer, so I'm welcomed by people I've seen, but I'm still walking through the city.
The others were looking at Ms Leon as if she were attracted to her appearance... well, like Mélia, she had a beautiful, separated appearance...
"The beast is a beauty."
Though my mind is so black.
"Hmm, isn't it terrible...?"
Rifa and Nia's dry cheeks twitch, Mr. Leon.
It's a little difficult to defend, so if I'm looking away from Mr. Leon, who seems to follow me in a flickering fashion, Mao, who ran up next to me with a runner, grabs my hand.
"Mao?"
"Can I connect my hands?"
"I don't mind....."
I'm not used to appearing in public, so is that so thoughtful?
Then, one day, Chisato, who came to me next to me, reached out to me as he walked.
"Kate, can I have your hand?"
"Do you want to play alien...?"
"Wait a minute, I think I need to change your perception of me first...!!"
"I think it's simply your fault...."
Why are you trying to connect me with Mao? [M]
Hey, do you want to play gray with people holding hands next to each other?
Chisato, hold my hand silently. [M]
After a few seconds of silence, she leans her neck and laughs.
Are you excited?
"It's so exciting...?"
I think this is a handshake rather than a handshake.
……
My arm is slightly pulled. [M]
Normally surprised at her attempting to attract my hand to herself, Reefa and Nia strangled Chisato with wings before doing so.
"Chisato, what are you going to do with people's eyes!!"
"A brave man is the spirit of self-sacrifice...!! He rubs meat and invites greed...!! My role as a brave man is over and the time has come to become a beast...!"
"I don't know what it means, but I know what the worst thing is!?"
I don't know what the hell I was trying to do... well, I guess I was getting along and playing games like I always do.
Later, walking with the idea of having time to talk to Chisato, you finally arrive at the castle.
Have the knight who is the gatekeeper pass through Jessica's waiting hall.
"Is Mr. Leon going to talk with you?"
"That's right. On your behalf, I will tell you what happened this time. [M] I'm sure you're tired from your long journey."
It's rude of me to just say hello and go home, and I'd like to talk to Jessica.
Walking down the usual aisle with Leon at the forefront, Jessica is invited to the hall where she always works.
Jessica is already sitting at the table in the middle of the hall and will welcome us.
"Welcome back. I'm glad you're home safe."
Jessica, you're back from duty.
Jessica also had a reassuring expression when Rifa answered in respectful terms.
While she was in the kingdom of the Vingle, she seemed to care about us.
"Mr. Leon, thank you for your time...."
"No, don't be afraid."
"But...."
"You can have a more crushed attitude towards me. From the standpoint, I'm under your command, Kate."
Oh, is that so?
Isn't that right?
That's right...
I don't feel it at all.
"Okay, okay. Why don't we just sit down and talk?"
Jessica prompts me to sit on the chair.
Here I show Sif on my shoulder and Nia beside me a vigilant gesture, but Jessica invites Mao who was grabbing the sleeve of my clothes.
"Come here."
"...? Yeah"
Jessica looked up at me and put Mao on her lap as she leaned towards me.
He seemed confused because he couldn't understand what had happened, but he was still as quiet as the cat he borrowed without getting into trouble.
"You're so cute!"
"Ah, ahh...."
It's Jessica's usual...
As Jessica strokes her illuminated head, she talks to me and Rifa sitting in the chair.
"What happened to her? Did you bring him from the Kingdom of Vingle?"
She's the Devil King.
"... to?"
"He's the real demon king."
……
Jessica, who had stopped moving, looked seriously at Mao on her lap.
…… Wait, wait... what do you mean? "
I'll explain everything from there.
Mr. Leon explains the situation to Jessica, who is confused enough to see.
Events that occurred at the base of the Demon King Army.
The fact that the demon king was a young girl named Mao.
And it was Mr. Leon who built the Demon King Army.
"Mr. Kite."
"Yes"
In the meantime, I wonder if you could bait the god beast there.
"Rest assured. I've already done that."
"Ah, oh, I told you to take a crushed attitude... but the treatment has become a mess ~"
Jessica sighed loudly when she stopped using respectful words against Leon.
"If they find out about this, it'll be a big problem...."
"It was necessary... and it wouldn't be deceptive."
"Reefer, Kate. It's going to be a long story from here, so you can leave your seats...."
Jessica lowered her mao from her knees.
It's going to be difficult from here on out. When you're finished, you can talk to Mr. Leon later.
When I got up from the chair, Mao walked towards me and pulled her sleeve. [M]
"Dad, shall we go?... ah"
... is this it?
Might I call someone I don't know your mother by mistake?
It makes Mao smile when she holds her mouth with her hands.
"Wait a minute, Kate. Are you calling me Dad!?"
"Ha!? Misunderstandings!?"
"This is going to be fun!"
Speaking of which, Jessica was here too!?
Jessica talks to Mao about how she looked earlier and makes her eyes twitchy.
"Who's your mother!?"
"Eh, me."
"Is it a leaf!?"
"Don't lie now, Reefah!!"
Tickle the riffa who lies with a nasty face.
…… Yes, I'm your mother. "
"I don't know your name!?"
Ahhhh!? It's hard to talk about!?
The heavy air we just had has been smashed brilliantly, but Io in the Kingdom of Vingle will be bothered as it is.
I couldn't let that happen, so I tried to speak to Jessica to get her to seriously solve the misunderstanding.
