Phew, I'm home, I'm home. It finally feels like home after all this time.

　When you arrive at the cave that has a doorway to your residence, you say these words.

Well, the human city was not so bad, but I prefer to laze around on my futon.

You were laying on the bed at the inn. And you know how many times I've been pushed off the bed.

You have shared a bed with me. You should be honored to have shared your bed with me.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but it's pretty much business as usual, to be frank. I had a hard time sleeping, and I woke up in the morning to find your feet on my face, or you on top of me, which happens in dungeons all the time, right?

　Hey, look at me, Ha-Long-sama.

...... Oh well, I just want to check on Lil' once, let's go to the grassland area normally.

"Mm, okay.

　With that, I opened the door from the usual cave to the grassland area.


　--The swarm of demons spread out.


　There were probably a hundred different kinds of demons there.
　They are camped out in the grassland area, roaring in alarm at us as we suddenly appear.

!

　The worst imaginable thing that comes to mind . The idea that Iruna and the others might be in some kind of danger.

　As soon as I thought of that, I pulled out my greatsword from the crack in the void and was going to slash at the demons.

Groot!

　--Then, a familiar cry comes from the castle at the back.

...... lil?

　When I looked in that direction, I saw my pet, Mofuril.

　As soon as you hear a cry, the demons leap understandably with a jerk and open a path for you to follow.

............ Um, what does this mean?

"Look closely, Yuki.

　I'm somewhat baffled by Reffi's words, who has been calm all along, and I release my stance and activate my analysis skills.

　The Wolf King's Mate: Mate of the Wolf King Mofuril. Those who are afraid, prostrate and enthralled by its power.

　A common title (・・・・・・・) among the demons stationed in the prairie area (・・・・) was that of...

　...... What? What.

　Does that mean they're all under Lil's control ......?

"Coo ......

　You will be able to get a good idea of what you are looking for when you go to the store.

Oh, yeah, don't worry about it. More importantly, are these guys ......?

　According to ......, apparently, when Lil was hunting around in the magical forest, at one point, he said, "I'll be under your command, so don't attack me! I've heard that some of them started following me around on their own.
　It's not only that, but it's also that they are my own dungeon monster, so I can't help but feel that I'm not going to be able to do whatever I want with them and I'm going to leave them alone. In the blink of an eye, it was growing so large that the scale of the event had grown to this size before he realized it.

　As for this time, when Lil was guarding the grassland area for protection, he said, "We're going to have to use it too! And this is what happened.

　...... Well, lil has already become much stronger than my status. It's so strong that I can communicate with the guys from the west area where the strongest demons appear in the forest around here. I don't know if they'd be afraid to obey me if it was just other demons.

　...... This guy is something. It feels more like a hero than me. Well, it's okay.

"Hey, no, don't apologize to me. It was me who told you to live your life. Take care of it.

　When he said this to a horrified-looking Lil, Lil bowed his head as if to say, "I'm sorry," and then behind him, "Gruuu! And bellowed.
　Then all of Lil's men behind us fell to their knees and bowed to us at once, as if we were on our knees.

　...... Yeah. Be kind.


　　　* * * *


No. ...... That's a surprise nonetheless.

Well, he is capable of leading others. A powerful man will inevitably be drawn to it.

　As a matter of course, Reffi said that.

　I see ...... well, that's one way of doing things. It's a good idea to increase your own chances of survival by being reverent to the strong.
　It's not that the demons don't live carefree lives, but they are fighting a desperate battle for survival to survive their days, so that might be a good thing.

　There are a lot of people who have a lot of experience in this field.

　I've been thinking about this, and now that I can see Lil's face, I have no more need to go with her to the doors that are set up inside the castle that lead directly to the True Throne Room.

　I'll go see the three Wraiths later by myself. They're too scared to hide in Leffy's presence.

We're home!

I'm home.

"- Ah! Welcome back!

　When we opened the door and went in, we were immediately greeted by a young blonde girl, Iruna.

"Whoa, haha, I'm home!

　He runs over to you and jumps at you, catching her in midair.

"Oh, master, Mr. Reffi, welcome back!

"I'm home. Leila?

Leila is outside getting laundry now. I'll get her!

No, don't go that far. I don't want to interrupt you.



　When I said that to Liu, who was about to call out to me, with a wry smile, someone snapped to my side.

Oh, yeah.

"Oh, I'm back--I'm back. ......?

　............ Wait, now who did I just say I'm home?

　Iruna, Lugh is not. Iruna is still in my arms with her head pressed against my chest, and Lugh is in the back. And Leila isn't here.

　When it occurred to me, I slowly lowered my gaze to see that Leila wasn't here.


　--A little bit like Iruna, a little girl with a translucent light blue color.


　It's not the color of her hair or anything. Her light blue body is literally translucent, and the floor on the other side (・・・・・・) is visible (・・・・・).

............

　I had been staring at her with my mouth open, frozen, when suddenly I felt a sense of familiarity with her, as if I had never seen her before.

　--I've met this girl before.

　And not just meet her. This intimacy is the same as I feel for Iruna and Lefi.

　--When I feel close and I think of something light blue and transparent in my home, there's only one thing that comes to mind: .......

"Are you--are you she?

"Saw, Ayo!

　Then the light-blue girl - she was bouncing around happily.
