On the Way Home I Got a Bride and Twin Daughters, Who Were Dragons

"Ku, kuma?

Saab cramped his mouth with hiccups and shrugged.

"Ugh, yeah. Kid bear...... is it?

Mikuma replied with doubts to the question.

What emerged from the grass was a little bear child covered in black hair.

You're on guard with us, you're going backwards.

Eventually, with only his face out of the grass, he stares at me.

"Mm-hmm. Still a young child. Yet we all make too much noise in exaggeration."

Taking one of the rice balls that had been placed in the leisure chair, Rouge headed for the river.

"Oh, hey, Rouge."

Without hearing my stillness, Rouge gently jumped over the river width.

When he landed without making a sound, whether he was trying not to frighten the bear, he sat with his knees in his arms to keep his eyes in line.

"Come on. There's nothing to be afraid of. There's rice too."

"Cucumber?"

A bear tilting her neck and looking at Rouge.

"It's okay. No one will hurt you. Are you hungry? You must have been caught smelling like rice balls, right?

Smile just a little gently and Rouge keeps telling the bear.

"Bear...... ah. In this case, the police and the hunting club."

My father asks Officer Inoue.

"Right. Keep in touch with the bureau as well. If there's a bear near here, it's important."

"Shall I keep in touch with the police station in your jurisdiction here for once? Maybe there's a parent bear nearby even if you don't. Toshio, do you know him?

Hound buddy, meet me. Hey.

Parent bear, will you kill him? Whatever it is......

"Wait a minute. Um... isn't that the kid, the Beast Man?

"Huh?"

We all saw the bear again with all the words of Mikuma.

No, there's some movement for a bear... is that it?

"You're hanging something around your neck. Rouge, you know the one on that neck?

"Mm-hmm. A sparkling stone necklace like some kind of black gem. It's a tree crawl, and it's a triangle, and it's pointy."

Black, pointy ahead and triangular?

"" Doing "...?

Mikuma put her hand on her chin and began to think about something.

"What, arrow-tipped?

"Yeah. I think it's a stoneware..."

Answering Sabu's question, Mikuma is watching the bear.

I wonder what it is. Is there anything that bothers me?

"... Officer Dougie, I've seen it on something, but there was a special reserve nearby, right?

"Ah!"

Officer Dougie, who spoke to Mikuma, slapped his hand as if he remembered something.

"I do! Right, is this the province? I remember."

"Speaking of which, you did have a tribal designated special reserve in the mountainous area that crossed this and its neighboring provinces. It's not a good idea that we both forgot, even in the neighboring province."

What? What? That's a word I don't know.

Another pattern that exposes my lack of knowledge?

"Saab, what's a special reserve?

"There's no way Atashi knows. Shohei, you know what?

"Yeah? What about this one?

"Nasty"

Good. I don't know. Wasn't I the only one?

"Oh, you had that. Speaking of which. I didn't think it was in the next prefecture."

Is that it? Does my father know?

"It's a work pattern. Eh, a limited inviolability compartment protected for a tribe of beasts unfamiliar with human society. We can't just pull it out of the place where we lived, so it was decided by the government and the tribe."

Whoa.

"I'm sorry dad, your oldest son...... you're an idiot"

You wouldn't know if they explained it in jargon like that, would you? How many years have we lived together? I hope it's time for you to learn.

"... I was trying not to say" Ulusa "when it comes to studying, and it seems like I was wrong."

"I'm so sorry."

No, seriously. Even these days, I've been trying to listen to you without going to bed.

At least I thought so.

"Evening, can you do me a favor?

"Eh."

Mikuma, whose father threw him an explanator, immediately entered commentary mode.

No, really, I'll take the hard work, Doctor.

"There were several tribes in the world clashes where different species entered human society, but some of them could not abandon where they really lived. There's some difference between shiatsu and lifestyle, but mostly it's caused by physical differences, right?

Physically, Mr. Gasara and Mr. Seijitsu and Mr. Nanairo are completely different from human beings, but you can live a decent life.

"Is that so different?

Saab, Koji, and Officer Doogie, Yuri and the others look relatively close to humans, but there will be many animal beasts walking on two legs as they look.

"The most different and troublesome thing is your physical abilities."

"Physical ability?

I think most beasts with more power or reflex nerves than humans do.

"For example, the werewolf beasts are very fast on their feet or very jumpy, right? The Beasts have a lot of potential compared to humans, or a basic status. They have a strong physical. Isn't that what humans can do with cars and tools? But, of course, there are beasts who have the ability to do nothing to humans."

Oh, I see.

I mean, 'too strong to do anything about it', Beast Man?

"You think I just tapped my shoulder lightly and took my arm off, or I meant to hug you and fold it in two? That kind of incident was quite a while ago. Though I still have a little less interracial trouble."

It seems like a gentle expression, doesn't it? The analogy.

"Well, that's not the only reason, but there's a minority of tribes out there who don't really want to be involved with society. Erm."

Officer Inoue snapped his smartphone as he assisted Mikuma in explaining.

"From here... Doc, good here?

"Uh, maybe I am. This is the border of the province... this is the mountain zone... because this is the city... this is where it is now."

Oh, you're looking at a map on a smartphone.

Officer, a pair of friendly faces are staring at the smartphone screen.

Hmm. You just seem to be snuggling around because you understand the situation.

"Look, come on"

Looking at Rouge, he was still struggling to bring in the bear.

But compared to earlier, the distance is much closer.

"Sister Lu, can I take Jaja and Nana too -?

Aoi, who is sitting in a leisure chair holding Jaja and Nana, asked Rouge.

"Mm-hmm. I'm still scared, just stay away from me, okay?

"Okay. Look, Jaja, Nana. It's your friend, right?

"Ah?

"Huh?

Aoi stands up holding the twins, who are not quite sure, and makes wings appear on his back.

Now I'm wearing a bathing suit, so it's good, but if it's normal clothes, my back part breaks every time I get my wings out, right?

So Aoi can always be light clothes when flying.

"Come on."

Once heavily winged, Aoi flies away fluttering through the river surface "Kawaya".

"Oh, I want to see it, too. Can we go from here?

"Evening. You're athletic tone deaf, so don't go alone. It's dangerous. I'm gonna go with Atashi, too. Wait a minute."

"This is it. Shall we go, too?

"To, no!

Curious young people cross the river with Zorozolo.

They're fine.

"Hmm. Whatever you think, it's far away."

"She's never been here by herself, is she?

A pair of officers glittering with their smartphones are roaring unh-unh.

"Father. How does Father know about a special reserve? What does that have to do with your job?

It doesn't matter if it's architectural, does it?

"Barca. You're talking about buying and selling land. This is... Land near the reserve changes a lot of building conditions and stuff. Land prices are naturally different, and commercial facilities can't be built. I don't need to know. I could cause trouble."

Heh. It's tough.

Thank you for your hard work.

"But you're scared."

"What?

My father arms me with a divine look on his face.

"Look, I noticed that kid was an animal man, right? I wasn't on guard because I'm still a child bear, but that would normally mistake me for a bear if an adult of the same race as that kid came out. That's the scary part of the beast society. It's a matter of clothing or language being the only way to distinguish wildlife."

Oh, no.

If we had a tribe that wouldn't wear clothes, if we were hunters, we might have shot them by mistake.

"I'm in trouble."

"What is it?

Ask Officer Inoue, who scratches his head with a bolt.

"It's a tribal residence in a special reserve, but it's the closest thing you can get from here and it's about 20 kilometers away. Looks like she's the only one I've seen, and I was wondering what happened to her."

"No, no, I'm still like a kid. Parents will be right with you."

You don't even look like you can travel 20 kilometers on your own, that girl.

"Mm-hmm. For now, let's protect our place today. I'll be in touch."

"Please"

That kid's parents, they'd be blood-eyed and looking for him by now.

See the Rouge and the others on the other side of the river.

A child bear sniffing the smell of a rice balls in Rouge's hands.

Were you close to that distance already?

He's a nostalgic kid.

"All right, I'll ask Mr. Yuri to prepare something for you, too."

"Ooh."

Tell your father to head to the cottage.

I hope your parents get here soon.
