A few days after my dreams crossed. Today is the day when Asuka's welcome party is held.
Having successfully completed her investigative work, Asuka is officially an ally of Ortus. Asuka's long-overdue goal is what Ortus's people have been looking forward to, so the party is sure to be exciting.
I am also going to celebrate with great joy. Even if there was so much to be concerned about.
Of course, I felt the distance between Gil and the dungeon monster's ego, as well as the research that the soul shouldn't be too touched upon.
But now, the life of my father and my father, this was my biggest concern.
This is how it's going to come out. It's so tight! "It's only natural because I'm alive, but I can't help it..."
I thought it was a long way ahead, as a matter of course, that I was really stupid.
After Asuka's welcome party, I was going to visit the Demon King's Castle, so I thought I'd consult with my father. I don't think it's the kind of content I'm going to ask... but I think it might be a difficult topic for my father to cut out.
As I talked a lot with my father the other day, I think I should talk to him too. Because I'm the devil's daughter. If such a time is approaching... I have to study my mind as a demon king little by little.
”Meguu!”
"Asuka! Fufu, as usual, there are a lot of plates."
I've made sure to organize my mind properly, so it's okay. We need to celebrate Asuka's enthusiasm for joining us!
"That's right, because it's a treat for me!" I'll conquer all kinds of things. "
All kinds are... equivalent. Today, it should be a tremendous amount, not only because of Sister Chio, but also because there are a lot of products sold in the city. I think there's something I haven't found yet.
But, I think Asuka can eat all kinds. I've never seen you say you're full.
Aside from that! I met Asuka during the party, so I have to tell you. Today's Asuka will be caught everywhere, so now is your chance.
"Asuka, let me tell you again." Welcome to Orthus! I've been waiting for you! ”
"Meg...! Yes, thank you!"
Nice to meet you! I'm so dependable!
I know I wasn't the only one who was looking forward to Asuka becoming one of us, but I still have a special feeling that a child of the same age is going to be one of us. Th-th-th-that's right.
"Finally, I'm not the youngest anymore!"
"Mmm, it only changes for a few years, so it's the same thing!" I'm bigger. "
"Oh, that's just what it looks like, right?" I'm your sister, but I'm still your sister. "
Well, if you look at us, it's like we haven't had an elf in years. But it's very important, very important. At last, you're a junior!
There are Maki and Seto, but they're not official allies, and they'll be pulled out in no time because of their different races. Asuka is a precious younger!
"Ah, I see. Maybe you want me to call you Meg Nee-chan?"
Ugh!
I haven't heard that in a long time. Asuka was cute back then, but when I heard that now, I felt a strange sense of immorality...! The one-chan call from Beauty is very stimulating.
"Ahahah, you're lying! I don't think Meg is your sister."
"I-I don't even think of Asuka as my brother." I'm going to tease you right now. "
When I sharpen my mouth and complain, Asuka suddenly becomes the real face. Just staring at me like that, I unexpectedly stretched my spine.
"Hmm. So, what does Meg think of me?"
Huh?
Oh, my God. I think he's one of Ortus' guys.
But Asuka's eyes seem to be expecting something. Probably not satisfied with the normal answer. That's right.
"Asuka is the closest companion, I guess." This is the synchronization that will boost Orthus together in the future. "
The sound of synchronization is very special to me. I felt that the first members of the fathers trusted each other, and I was very envious of them. The next generations, Owen, Wyatt, and Adl, were very close.
I can't wipe off Ronnie and Lech with one previous generation, and Asuka is the only one who synchronizes.
That's why I hope Asuka and I can build a relationship like that. Of course, I would like to increase the number of my peers in my age in the future.
"The closest companion, huh." Yeah, yeah... that's great! I feel like I've put it in Meg's special frame! "
Asuka chewed on my answer for a while, then smiled happily. Ho, that's good. It sounded like a favorite answer.
"Fufu, that's fine now."
After that, I seemed to have mumbled something small, but I couldn't quite hear it. Asuka waved his hands, saying that if he leaned his neck, nothing would happen.
More than that, when will you go to the Demon King's Castle?
"Oh, that's right." I haven't decided on a specific date yet. "
After the party, they say that we should rest for about another week. I'm already full of energy, and I can start working right away. They are truly overprotected guardians.
But because of this, Asuka and I decided to let it go. I was going to go to the Demon King's Castle during that time.
"Why don't you go tomorrow? After all, even the Demon King wants to meet Meg, and even if we open it day after day, we'll just be free!"
Tomorrow, I guess. That's sudden again. But you're right, there's no reason to say no. It's pretty hard to have time to spare. I want to work with you. I could train at Demon King Castle.
"Well then, let's do it!" I'll get in touch with Licht. "
Ok! Nice to meet you!
I'm going to ask for a transfer to Licht. 'Cause it's just a moment. I feel uncomfortable using it for moving lightly, but it was Rich that said it in the first place, so it is sweet.
I haven't eaten yet! And in time, with an empty plate, Asuka leaves for the feast. I eat really well. I'm the star of the day, and I want you to eat as much as you want!
You're going tomorrow.
"Ah, Ronnie! Yeah, that's right. I just made up my mind."
When I saw Asuka off, Ronnie came next to me to take turns. Hold the glass in both hands and offer one if you like. Oh, gentle! Ronnie is a gentleman who can take care of things like this.
I see. Then we won't see each other again for a while.
"Eh... ahhh, but that's right."
I was a little surprised by Ronnie, who seemed sorry, but I was convinced.
I mean, Ronnie's only been away once. The dream of seeing the world is still going on.
“Where are you going next?”
I've just returned, and I've been on the Demon Continent for a few years.
I see! Then I can get in touch with you right away.
"Yeah. I'll be in touch."
I want to be supportive of what Ronnie wants to do. I want you to stretch out freely and enjoy Ronnie's life. I'm still a little lonely.
"Hey, Meg, if there's anything that bothers you,
Huh?
After a while, Ronnie looked at me with a serious face and said that. What if something bothers you?
"Oh, I'm sorry. Meg looks worried again lately."
"Well, it's that easy to understand, me." I knew it, but I want to do something about it a little bit more.
When Ronnie smiled bitterly as he understood his cheek as a sniff, Ronnie giggled and gave a serious expression again. At the same time, he looked worried.
"I can't run right away." Talk to Licht right away, "
Somehow, you really look like oniichan. Ronnie and Licht are my brothers. It's ticklish and warm.
"Even when we're apart, I always think of Meg." It's important, because it's my sister. "
I thought so, and Ronnie said the same thing to me. Hehehe, my heart is one!
"Ronnie... Yes, thank you. But it's mutual, isn't it? Ronnie, if you're in trouble, call me right away. And when I'm lonely!"
"Fufu, yeah. I'm counting on you."
You can always feel calm when you're with Ronnie. You can laugh softly with nature.
Richt feels like a casual talker, so it's different again. But, of course, you're such a big brother.
Family, no matter how far apart they are, is always family, always in the heart. Even if I miss you, I can still wait patiently.
That is something that I can say to the other members. Because everyone in Orthus thinks they're family. "But..."
No, Mr. Gill.
I don't know why, but Gill-san feels lonely even though she's still nearby. If you think so, you should go talk to yourself, but you can't do it... I wonder if it was because I was acting strange the other day.
"Talk to Richt, huh..."
Will you listen to me properly? No, I know you're gonna listen to me, but I was wondering if you'd stop kidding me.
There are a lot of things I haven't been able to do because I want to talk to someone. About Gill, about Gut, about your father and your father.
I was going to spend my vacation at the Demon King's Castle tomorrow, and I was going to rest my body as well as my mind. Just thinking like that made me feel my shoulders relaxed.
