After receiving Genjiro's gaze, Leo lowered his head.

"Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity."

"Of course. You don't have to thank me."

Ha.

It is fortunate that you gave me the opportunity... but this time, I would like to decline the seat of the Four Demons. "

"Wow, I suppose the reason for asking is wilderness. I see."

Leo hated Gonzo with his mouth and looked at his rivals, so it feels strange to withdraw from him.

If Gonzo and Leo make up again, they'll bring only the winners, and they're simply about to decline.

Gonzo has really grown stronger and the difference with Leo has become a thing of the past.With an arm the size of a leopard, you can feel it without aligning the blade.

That's why he admitted his defeat and declined...

"Now, Genjiro, give Gonzo good guidance."

"Yes, just like I said."

"You still want to talk about something?"

For this reason, we don't need to bring Leo.There must be a reason I dared to bring him here.

"... actually, I have one suggestion."

"Call me."

"In guiding Gonzo as the next Four Demons, I would also like to guide this Leo as an assistant to the Four Demons."

"I see. Is it the deputy four demons?"

Yes.

Many have now disappeared from politics as a result of the execution of their superiors and their successors.

If you don't put clothes on your teeth, you are overwhelmingly short of people. "

"What a pity..."

"We can do something about it, but the burden on each person is huge, and if anything happens, it will be easy to stay.

In other words, I think the current system is politically weak. "

"Instead of lamenting the lack of manpower, we should make it a politically strong system even if we lack manpower..."

That's exactly right, but it's not that easy to say, is it? "

"Yes, so even if there is not enough guidance for Gonzo, it is possible for the two of us to work together and turn around by setting up Leo as the deputy Four Demons."

"Genjiro can focus on politics by leaving Gonzo's leadership sooner.As a result, you can get your hands on the task of creating a strong system faster... "

"Yes, you were right."

It seems that the city is also terrible now, and it should be quite painful even if it is not Gonzo without experience if it is burdened by one of the four demons.

If there is a position of assistant, or deputy four demons, it will be somehow easy to do.

If something happens and there are no Four Demons, I know who to follow.

Moreover, if the four demons who are closely rebuilding the city and those under it can move smoothly, those who are able to rebuild faster and, as a result, lead a somewhat stable life should be able to concentrate on government.

"I don't think we can fundamentally eliminate the manpower shortage, but can we alleviate it?"

"Politics is like a profession.It's not going to be easy to replenish.

That's a good idea. Now I'm ordering Leo to lead the group as the fourth demon. "

Ha.

"I also give Ranka, Siden, and Tejim the authority to appoint a Deputy Four Demons.Nominate them immediately and hurry to rebuild them. "

Huh.

From there, we discussed measures for the Knights of the Holy Order and future actions, and it was dissolved to a certain extent.

Incidentally, the northern district and the deputy four demons are Yura.In the western district, the deputy Shiki became Lenya.In the southern district, Siden's assistant was chosen as one of those who remained in the dojo.

With the decision of the Deputy Four Demons, it was possible to move systematically over a wider area, and reconstruction proceeded in a rush.

Three more days after that date.

"It's been a long time since you've seen the city."

"It's such a big city, but it's a lot easier.Some stores seem to be open. "

Today is the day to go to Sena's store, where she was calm and promised.Rato is answering the phone. It's dangerous if you're beeping all over the city.If I asked Sakura about Rat, she would have let me shine her eyes and understood, and Rat would have been happy.

I was on my way back to the workshop because I promised I'd be the first to get hurt... but what are you going to do...

"Senor, here we go."

"Ah! Wait a minute!"

I visited Sena's store for the first time in a long time, but apparently there was little damage and the roof of the store was a little burnt.

In Senna's workshop, the part facing the road is a normal shop, and there is a workshop in the back, so it doesn't look like a workshop.That's why the Demons didn't force themselves in.

I can hear Sena's voice from the back, but she's not coming out.

"Er... I thought I left it here... ah! There it is!"

After you find what you're looking for and hear yourself talking, Sena comes out of the back.

"Let me wait..."

Huh?!

Suddenly they yell at me, and Nil and I are thrilled.

"Eh... what?"

"Eh... what? Bye-bye!What are you dressed for?! Are you two going out now?!I'm coming out! I'm not dressed like this! "

Eh? Dress up? Bye.

"Of course not, Nil!Come here! Come here! Shinya, get dressed in your kimono! You have it!

And the kimono Nil wears! Immediately! "

Ha, yes!

I was scolded.

I've been thinking about eating dinner and bragging appropriately, so I wonder if this is the right thing to do... let's just do what I was told.

Remove kimono from inventory, change clothes, and wait for Nil and Sena.

But... it's been a long time. We can't wait for them to come out.

Once he tried to peek, Sena, who was in the shape of a demon, chased him back and swore to his heart that he would never peek again.After all, I visited early in the morning, so I have plenty of time...

Yes! Let me wait!

"Do it..."

Did you say something?

"No! I didn't say anything!"

What is Senna so angry about...?

"Scratch!"

Senna brings Nil, a black base wrapped in gold and red yarns with a fine embroidered kimono and wrapped around a dark blue band.

She wore a red flower oak, tied her hair up, and fastened it with a pin with blue jewelry that Nil likes.

Did Sena prepare it for you? Nil's hair is decorated with several other hair decorations and combs.However, I don't accept the image that the design is simple or that there are too many decorations.Instead, it highlights Nil's neat appearance, causing eyes to slightly red stained cheeks.

"Come on, don't bother. Say something to him!"

Until Sena told me, I didn't realize I was in love with him.

"Beautiful enough to fall in love..."

It was a word that came out of my mouth without thinking.

The face of Nil that I looked at became red and bright red to the ears.

"Ugh... ah, thank you... thank you..."

"Hehe! All right, all right!

Well then, you two are going to be young! "

Sena gently handed me the piece of paper and pushed me out of the store.

Even the two of you are young, Senna is young... no.The demons lived a long life.

"Here we go! There we go!"

That said, Sena slams the store door.

The piece of paper handed over by Sena had letters written on it.

Simply put, the directive was written on the paper.

A course of action was written for a successful outing with Nil.

Go here, do this, next time...

Master?

"No, it's nothing. Let's go then."

I'm not used to this, but I know why Senna gave this piece of paper to Nil so she wouldn't find out.This directive must not be found. Top-secret mission.

"I'm just going out for a little while, but I'm terrified if I get dressed like this."

I think I should do what I can because the boulders made me Senna.

"Nil."

Yes?

"You've dressed me up to the corner, so why don't you two go around town for a day?"

"Eh...?"

"Good luck this time.Will you forgive me for a day? "

"Ha, yes!"

Sword, magic and blood. That's what happened every day, so you should be able to stretch your wings a little.

The first time I went was after the city began to rebuild, there was a line of shops where businessmen gathered and opened.

"You've had so many stores already..."

"What a surprise."

Although I used magic to help rebuild the city because of the demons who were not good at magic, because everyone in the city worked well in the first place, rebuilding was so fast that it didn't change without help.

"Oops! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

As soon as I entered the street, I was able to speak to the old Onijin clan who opened the shop.

"What?! Really?! Hey! Shinya-san and Niru-san are here!"

"What?!"

The people who heard Grandma's voice reacted one after the other.

"I don't know if it suits your mouth, but eat this!"

"Eat this one too!"

People come together from one place to the next.

"Well, I can't eat that much, and if you give it to both hands, the money..."

"What are you talking about? You can't afford to pay for the people who saved us!Take it for free! "

"You can use magic to store things, can't you?Put it in there!Here it is! I got it! I got it! "

Quickly, you will be given an amount of goods that you cannot hold with both hands.

"Hey, should this have come in disguise?"

"Yes, that's right..."

"What are you talking about! Even though Nil-san is dressed so beautifully, are you hiding it?!Are you still a man?! "

The aunt who opened the store got angry.

"Come on! You'll get in the way too!I'm going back to the store! "

"Why! Was it a meetup?!Oh, excuse me!Hahahaha! "

"Nh!!"

One of the grandmothers pulled me out with a laugh.

"What does" dating "mean?"

"Ah... hahahaha..."

I don't know Nil, but I'm going to ask him honestly, should I explain... no, it's too embarrassing... but when he asks me purely...

In the end, I taught him that the meaning of a gathering is to meet a man and a woman secretly.

Nil also turned bright red to the ears and leaned down. It was difficult to deal with it.

After all, breakfast is guaranteed without paying a penny.Nil is not used to Japanese clothing, so I decided to eat it slowly in a place where I can lower my hips.

"Fufufu, I didn't expect a day like this to come when you and your husband can eat in the city."

Nil smiles beautifully while eating an unexpected breakfast.

On the continent, Nil is a slave, so he can't eat alongside me in the city.I always ate in hiding or in places that were not popular, such as inns and the outside.

With just this much, it makes you happy, sad...

"Nh! Nil! Let's go!"

I swallow rice, pull Nil's hand when I'm done eating, and go down the street.

"Master?!"

"You don't have to worry about it here, do you?Then let's have some fun! "

I may never be able to open a store like this in a grand side-by-side fashion again.Then I'll do it when I can.

I took Nil to Atafuta and talked to Nil as I looked around the store and saw the product.

Nil was surprised at first, but soon he started laughing at my words and gestures. Looks really fun.

I went to a slightly stylish shop for lunch and had a fashionable sweetness.

Afterwards, I took a ride in the cockpit, went to see a new harness, went to see a kimono... anyway, I went to the place where Sena's command was located.

In other words, there was only one thing approaching with that much sword screen, and I could enjoy it anywhere.

Dinner went to a quiet shop with a good atmosphere, even among the shops that suffered little damage and were able to reopen immediately.

I was really surprised that it was already booked in my name.Sena... speaking of which, isn't it more spec than Ranka...?

It was too stylish and didn't suit my height, but the dishes that came out were very delicious and I was satisfied.The money was taken, but there is no problem with money in this world.I felt a little rich.

When Nil stood up after dinner and looked at Senna's directive, he was troubled by the last words.

Finally, where the stars look beautiful!

That's how you feel about Nil! Absolutely! "

My thoughts for Nil...

Walking with that in mind, he arrived at a high altitude where he could see the city and the sky full of stars.

When it comes to the night view, I imagine that the city lights are sparkling... but in the city overlooking, only a few soft and modest lights, such as candles (candles), can be seen, which is quite dark.

Because magic has not developed, there are not many magical instruments, and it is a unique night view of Ouka Island with many naturally occurring objects.The stars look amazingly beautiful thanks to you.

"How was it? Did you have fun today?"

"Yes, it was fun!"

Nil's smile, illuminated by soft light, looks blurry.

"That's good. I haven't had enough fun in a long time."

"Fufufu, I feel like I've never seen Master so well."

"What a deal."

"Fufufu, it's a secret."

Nil smiles again with her index finger against her mouth.

Nil will never make a secret from me.I'll be honest with you about anything.That's because you know I don't believe people fundamentally.I believe in Nil because I know Nil doesn't make secrets.No, it's been a while since I met Nil... but Nil didn't make a secret even though he knew I trusted him.

But at this time, I didn't expect to divulge the secret.

"Nil, you did a really good job this time.Nil was right. "

"... no, I wish I could have done better..."

"Everyone's fine. That will be enough."

"... yes."

"My instructions made me feel terrible, and I apologize... but I don't know if you like it..."

I was walking in the morning to open a shop and bought a bottle that looked good on Nil.

I already have one Nil, but I bought it to see if you like it very much or if you should have another one because it is a flicker every time you go through the store before opening.

What Nil has now is a simple pin with a blue jewel on it.

Then I thought it would be a flashy thing... but Nil was concerned about getting all the simple things in his hand.

I don't know whether I like flashy things or whether they have become so, but if I give them anyway, I want them to like me, and I chose a simple silver clasp with bright red gems.It does not contain any special powers, nor is it a magical instrument.It's really just a jar.

Pa and Pa have the same design, and they only look different from stones, but they don't seem to dislike it.

"This is..."

"Nil had the longest time in his hands."

"It should have been really expensive, too?!"

"Was it? I forgot."

In fact, it was a price enough to buy a good sword… Honestly, if I were to reward Nil for his work so far, I would be able to buy about 100 or 200 of the same blades for free.

"More than that, don't you like it?"

If Nil doesn't take the knob I gave him...

"That can't be right!Thank you! I will cherish it for the rest of my life! "

Nil receives a chisel as if it handles a brittle crack.

"Ha-ha. It's just stuff, so I don't think you should think about it that much."

"No, it's from your husband!"

"... I see. I'm glad you took care of me."

Yes!

Well, I can give you the present, but it's definitely not over yet, as Sena wrote to me.

That said, what should I say now...

Just like Nil, I'm telling Nil everything, and I have nothing to hide.

I've told her what I thought, and even if she says she thinks of Nil now...

"What's wrong with you?"

As usual, Nil lined up the question mark on top of his head and looked up at it.

"Nil really noticed."

"Really? I don't feel like losing to people around here, but it's just things I haven't noticed or unexpected."

"Really? No... maybe so.

Nil got a lot stronger before I noticed.People change every day, and it's only natural that they can't predict it. "

"Apart from that, I don't think your husband can predict anything. Fufufu."

"Ha-ha, your ears hurt."

Nil really laughs at me today.I really have to thank Sena.

"Nil. I really care about Nil.

So I don't want you to get hurt, and I don't want you to think about dying. "

……………

I feel that the content of the story has changed and Nil listens with a serious expression.

"But there's something we have to do, and some of us have to take it down.

Because it is important, I want you to fight together in the future.

I protect Nil's back.So from now on... Nil will protect my back. "

"Mistress....."

Until now, I have always thought about protecting Nil and never thought about being protected.

But not from now on.

Nil is no longer just a protected being.It is also a protective presence.I felt strongly about this incident.

"... yes! I'll handle it! I will protect your master's back!"
