"Megu!! Real Meg! I missed you!!"

"Hey Father!? Everyone! Because I'm watching!!"

And now I'm being held by my father in the office. I was expecting it, but it's still embarrassing! Don't forget that Asuka and Ronnie are the only ones watching, but they're the younger daughters!

Ahh, that's fine. You should be happy to see me again.

"Hmm, I knew it." As much or as little as you like. "

This is how the two of them react. It is the same as the response to Richt just now.

... I guess I'll give up too. That way you don't have to be physically or mentally tired. It's been a long time since I've seen my father! I'm ashamed!

"Father, I'm back now." "But Ronnie and Asuka will want to rest soon..." Right? Listen to the report first? "

"Oh, right. Meg can't help but think about everyone. Be kind to it, you're an angel!”

"... I haven't forgiven you for the angel yet!"

Ugh!

I've already complained about the angel statue in a lot of correspondence, but I have to say it face to face. I want you to reflect on it.

”And I'll never imitate myself again... ugh, if Meg hates me, I can't live”

"It's really a promise, isn't it?" If something like this happens, I'll definitely talk to you before you decide! "

"Hi."

Very honest. I can tell from the bottom of my heart that I am reflecting. Then this matter is over. It would be nice if you understood, and I was delighted with the tears in my eyes. I got it! I'm sorry I said too much!

By the way, are you going to stay at the castle today?

I was asked with an eye that was full of expectations, so I can be attentive to answering, but there is no way. I'm sorry, and I'll put it in front of you and give you a clear answer.

"No, I'm going back to Ortus." I want to report it to my father, and Maki-chan and Set-kun are in Ortus, right? "

I heard that the two of them had been working hard in Ortus since they crossed the demon continent. So first I want to see how it is, and most of all, I want to see you!

... and I can't even see Gill-san. I want to apologize before I lose my mind.

Well, in order to do that, I need you to send it to Licht by transfer. I will ask you to do your best one more time. As a matter of fact, my magic power was diminishing, so I was helpless too. I want to relax in my room for the first time in a long time. The simple tent was comfortable, but the room was different after all.

"Ugh, I miss you..."

Um, well, I'll stay here for a while after the post-processing is over!

Really!?

In fact, my dad told me to take a long rest after the trip, so I had no problem. I'd like to see Urbano for a long time, and maybe Asuka can come with me for a relaxing vacation.

Somehow I forgave my father and finally decided to get down to business.

"Well, let's start with the report." I've been in contact with you regularly, so I'll be checking... "

Ronnie made the report. Asuka and I are silent listeners who sometimes nod to the story. The sofa in the office of the Demon King's Castle was shaky and the Sleepy Demon attacked at once, but it was patience, patience.

"Excuse me, Demon King." Thank you for your patience. "

By the end of the reporting period, Richt's voice had finally arrived. I woke up a little. As Licht entered the office, Asuka called out with a smile.

Your time with Clon is over?

"I'm sorry, I left it to you!" And I'll take that time later, so it's okay. "

Wow, I shouldn't have heard that.

I'm glad we're getting along. I would definitely like you to spend a few days relaxing in Licht as well.

"I'll take over the rest, so go back to Ortus and rest first." I'll send it to you once, Devil King. "

"Hmm, that's right. The first long expedition would have been on the human continent, and fatigue would have accumulated. Especially Meg and Asuka can rest their bodies slowly."

I was about to finish Ronnie's report, so I thought I'd give you a rest. In other words, my eyelids are going to close when I'm alarmed. Hey, I'm sleepy.

Well then, Father, I'll be back soon.

"I'm looking forward to it."

When I said hello to my father again, I didn't scold him as if he had just made a promise. I just looked at my eyes, but I didn't notice.

Uchi, so let's all put our hands together.

Rising from the sofa, we walk closer to Licht. If there is no metastasis, I have to touch the surgeon. It narrows when grabbed by everyone, so it is a form of holding hands in a circle. If it is connected, there is no need to touch it directly.

I have to go to Orthus!

Licht laughed and activated his magic in an instant. After a slight levitation, the scenery in front of you immediately changes. After the transfer between continents, it's no big deal. I'm used to this, too.

It was in front of Ortus' building that I arrived. Huh? I thought it was going to transfer inside.

"I mean, it's a big way back." You want to be picked up at the front door, right? "

It was a pure measure of Richt. It's been a long time since we met again. If you were inside the building at some point, it might not taste right.

Then I thought that Licht would be with you, but Licht still has the job of reporting to his father. It would be tough if we were to be held up, and we would like to get this over with and spend some time with Kron.

When I got settled, I would be in the way. I left him to contact me again when I came to the Demon King's Castle. Licht quickly transferred back to the Demon King's Castle.

Although we can meet immediately with the transfer, it is something special at the end of the journey.

But I'm thrilled to be coming home from the front door again.

"That's right! I might be more excited to win!" It seems to attract attention, doesn't it? "

Asuka is as good as ever. Then I'll ask Asuka to open the door first. That said, Asuka was happy to take it on. Lovely.

As we entered the hall, everyone was sure to pay attention to us. I was embarrassed, but my gaze was almost on Asuka. If you open the door so cheerfully, of course, but the most important thing is Asuka's personality.

Thanks to you, Ronnie and I are able to stand out.

"Welcome back!" Hah, I knew Meg would be gorgeous! "

Saura-san! Just now!

A lot of people greeted us, but they won't hold us back. It's wonderful that you're taking care of yourself so that you can rest right away.

With that in mind, it was Saura who rushed over. It has been a long time since I was so relieved by the beauty of minimalism. Sure, I'll hug you! Grrr!

"Well, take a good rest today." Ronnie said to rest in Ortus for about ten days! "

"Ten days...?"

“Yes, because you have to throw a welcome party for Asuka!”

Oh, my God! That certainly needs Ronnie's help! Ah, now Asuka is going to be a family. I'll do my best to celebrate.

"Then, without you, right?" Got it. "

"What's up? And I'm going to call the children from the human continent, and I'm going to do it that night!"

Set-kun and Maki-chan with you? Wow, I hope you're happy. Let's go see what's going on around here tomorrow. Fufu, that's a lot of fun.

Then I'll leave you to tell me all sorts of things again, and Saura will return to the reception. I'm so glad you came all the way out here to speak up.

"Asuka still seems to be talking to everyone."

Yeah. What about Meg?

Hmmm, let's go straight back to the room today.

"I also thought about relaxing in the large bathing area..." I'm kind of tired, so I decide to relax in my room. If I don't focus on recovering my magic power, I can't help feeling exhausted.

Ronnie said that he would stop by the dining room for a moment before returning to his room. It seemed like I was hungry, and the figure reminded me of the smile I saw when I was a child. Ronnie was always so nervous, he might have been relieved to be back.

I broke up with Ronnie in the hall and headed straight to my room. I wanted to dive into bed right now, but in the hallway along the way, I found a black figure leaning against the wall and looking at me, and I blew it away.

"Mr. Gill,"

How long have you been there? Could it be that you waited for me? I've got a lot to say and a lot to think about, but whatever it is... it's Gil! I've always wanted to see you, Mr. Gill!

Gil smiled tinyly and said he was tired as he ran up in front of me while holding back his misguided feelings.

You've worked so hard on the human continent.

Do you know that?

"Yeah, I heard from the leader."

I see, he knew a lot about me. The chest is warmed by that.

Oh, Gill-san is amazing. I can feel my heart filling up with just this much conversation.

I want you to hear a lot, and I have a lot to ask. But above all, I need to tell you what I've always wanted to say!

I never looked up straight at Mr. Gill.

Gill-san! Ah, um!

"What the hell?"

The moment Gil and I lowered our gaze at my call, I felt uncomfortable. "I don't know what's going on..."

Didn't Gill always look at me like this?

"Um, well, it was long ago before I went to the dungeon, but..."

Still, it didn't change that Gill-san was right in front of me. I have to tell you properly.

I quickly switched my mind and apologized for refusing to let my stroking hand go that time. Finally, I was able to say it.

"... I'm sorry, Meg. Would that have happened?"

"Eh......"

But Mr. Gill didn't seem to remember that time. Your chest feels heavy as if a heavy stone has fallen.

For a moment, my thoughts stopped... but if I think about it, it's no wonder I don't remember such details. I just remembered it because I felt somehow guilty, and from Gill's point of view, it was a trivial incident.

I see.... I see.

"Ugh, no! I just care too much..." I'm glad I apologized. ”

"Is that so...?"

"Yes! So don't worry about it!"

I waved my hand to the side in a hurry and said, "I see," and Gill couldn't ask me anything more.

It was really a shortage of things to do. I'm glad you didn't hurt Mr. Gill. I'm glad to hear that.

Well then, I'll go back to my room now.

"Oh, you should take a good rest. It looks like your magic power is diminishing a lot.

Mr. Gill said that and left the scene immediately. Looking behind me, I was hardened for a while.

Until now, Mr. Gill wouldn't have left until I left.

He said that he would send it to the room.

Until now, she looked at me with a gentle look that seemed worried.

Somehow, Gill-san didn't seem to be Gill-san, so I got sad. I thought I was the only one who cared... I thought I was stupid.
