"Ooh... ooh. This..."

Once you get out of your room to say hello to Lorraine in the morning and show your face in the living room, there are quite a few flocks of mice (Petite Suri) there to eat.

In addition, each is divided into several groups, one of which always carries a small container.

And from there, a different kind of magic is emitted from the mouse.

It is my family, Adele, who stands before them like a captain or something like that.

Lorraine's standing next to it, too, and she's kind of in a good mood, you know.

"Oh, Lent. You awake? Good morning."

Lorraine noticed me and said so, so I reply.

"Oh... more than that, what the hell is wrong with this? I didn't feel much magic either, so I ate it."

Adele and his men's mice are naturally demons, emitting magic, but the signs were rather rarer than usual.

I dare guess that's what you're doing.

"They're carrying what I asked them to do the other day, because if you let them suck magic weirdly, there's a bit of a problem. I dared ask you to curb your magic. I thought if I couldn't, I couldn't help it, but Adele and her kids are still excellent. Looks like you're doing exactly as I ordered."

"When I said what I asked for the other day... oh, you talked about slime from the sewer. I see, you know what?"

Slime is a fairly primitive demon, taking in everything around him and growing up.

Needless to say, animals, demonic carcasses, etc. have a stronger tendency to do so about magic than other demons.

Even so, it does not mean that absorption efficiency is good, but it feels very susceptible.

Slime, which lives in the dark of magic, becomes extremely active and comes at the initiative of other creatures, but in turn moves cursorily that it is an area where magic is scarce, and food also speaks only of the carcasses of organisms who have naturally lost their lives.

That's how it affects your personality a lot.

There are many other influences, but as Lorraine, I would have preferred an extremely mediocre normal slime, not one of those biased slimes.

Of course, somewhat, it would be to the extent of letting it go for a while, even under the influence of the environment and other demonic powers, but Lorraine wants to experiment as soon as she can.

You're a kid with a toy in front of you.

Though researchers are more or less something like that.

"... All right, then, Adele. Bring the slime to the lab. Pay close attention."

"... zip!

Adele responds that way to Lorraine, giving instructions to the children with gestures and gaze, and goes up the stairs.

It is an undisturbed movement, like the well-trained soldiers.

I said to Lorraine, returning to me, even though I was taken for a moment by the way a flock of mice moved in that way.

"We're going to be experimenting with that cup, right? Can I take a tour, too?

"Oh, of course. It just might not happen to anything, and it might not be fun to look at. I'm not responsible. Still, if you like."

"I know that. Then sweeten your words."

And we followed Edel and the others to the lab.

Even so, Adele is supposed to be my family, but I don't know what the hell it is to be following Lorraine's orders without any problems.

Is it the realization that Lorraine is superior to me...?

Well, I'm not wrong... but I live in this house.

We will have to obey the landlord's intentions as best we can.

While I think so, if you ask Lorraine about that,

"I'm not forcing you to say anything. On a kind of exchange condition. Instead of accommodating food, magic tricks, they're asking for a favor."

"... when will you make such a deal..."

"I'm doing pretty well. Haven't they passed it on to you?

You don't understand it through your connection as a family member.

For this,

"... well, I can read if I want to read thoughts, and I can normally if I want to share my sight or something, because I haven't been doing that all my life. I'm free to act for you and Edel... I heard you did that a few times before, but I didn't know it was that frequent."

"Right. I didn't mean to do that initially either... but when I asked for everything, I was very competent. It's no longer like an assistant or an incoming or outgoing vendor. Adele, you're so different..."

"Good if it's useful...... don't get me worried if it's really my family"

It's like Lorraine's family.

"I wish I could get a family member, too, but unfortunately my body is human, so it's difficult. If it's possible, it would be a skill as Monster Tamer, but most of the details of that skill are hidden. It's not that easy to wear... Oh, but Lent, why don't you ask your stepfather to tell me? This experiment with the cup made me wonder if it would be a lot easier."

As I recently found out, my father-in-law in Hathaler has extremely special and powerful skills as an obedient demon.

That seems to have been conveyed to the clan that inhabits Hathhaler since ancient times, and my stepfather, in fact, even follows a powerful demon that is normally considered impossible for a submissive master named Lindblum.

It would undoubtedly be quite useful to learn, especially for Lorraine, who is studying demons, a skill that she would want so much that she could get her hands out of her throat.

"Right...... in the meantime, why don't we go see him next time? I've settled down a lot now, and you should go report it again. I want to go to Hathhaler myself and meet Grandma Kapitan and Garb too. Then I'll just ask you one last time."

I don't just want to see you, I think you need it for your silver exam.

Because the best way to review the fundamentals is still to let the people who have learned the fundamentals see them.

As for swordsmanship and witchcraft, Capitan and Garb are my number one mentors.

Though I would like Isaac to see his skills as a demon.

Lorraine nodded at my words,

"Looking forward to it...... if you can follow the demons to some extent it will spread what you can do. We're going to do some research!

That's what I said and laughed.
