"-- Okay, all right, boys!　Keep it off!

　Following my instructions, my pets surround us at a distance.

　The one in front of us is a bear with a rugged, spiky shell clad in his body like cuirass and shin guards.

　This one's name is Panzerurus.
　It's twice as tall as I am, but there are many monsters in the demon world that are bigger than this one, so it's the standard size here.
　As expected, bigger is always stronger. Well, there are many small and strong ones in this forest.

　Although it's a western area demon, in terms of strength, this one is still a level enemy that's quicker to count from the bottom. However, it's naturally strong, so if you're not careful, you'll die.

　It's a good thing that you're able to get a good look at the pets around you. ...... Your opponent is me this time.

I'm sorry to hear that you've been resting so slowly, bear. Just consider it bad luck and give it up. --Come on, 'Leviathan'!

　It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're going to be doing.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one for you.

　It's not just a matter of how much time you have left on the clock.

"Hu-ha-ha!　This is my seriousness, the superb spirit union "Leviathan"!

　Let me explain!　The "superb spirit union" is a technique in which a number of separate spirit species come together and pour a generous amount of demon king's magical power into them to create a powerful spirit union with combined attributes!

　It seems that I have a high affinity for water, and the water spirits have taken to me well, so I was able to give them more magic power than the other spirits, so my basic attribute is water.
　However, the spirit of fire, the spirit of earth, the spirit of wind, the spirit of wind, the spirit of darkness, and several other spirits are combined so that the magic they can use is not limited to water magic, but also allows them to unleash a variety of magic!

　You took a third of my magic with you!

"Kukkuk, look at that, beast!　Be afraid of this greatness--wow!　Teme, you can't attack me in the middle of the chanting, it's not fair!

　It seems to understand that I am an emissary of this conjoined spirit, and as I was speaking, it attacked me with an agility that is unlike a bear, and I hurriedly avoided it.

　The ground on which I was standing a short while ago is ripped wide open.

　It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them, as well as to have a good time with them. Dressed like some kind of princess, she tells the genie to merge with her.

"Cleave!

　It's not as powerful as Rephi's "Dragon's Roar", but it's a breath of air from ...... leviathan that can change the terrain.

　It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get your hands on it.

　Attack after attack, strike after strike, strike after strike.

　But the opponent was also a demon from the west area.

　There seems to be one attack that was snatched, and his left arm is blown off, but that's the only real hit.
　They also show an unstoppable fighting spirit, biting at leviathan and counterattacking with their muscular arms - but they can't see me (・・・・・), they can't see me....

En!

"Hm!

　I've come around behind him and swing En over his head and down on his neck.

　It's too late, Kumano's reflexes are such that he has finally noticed my presence, as if he sensed my presence.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of this one.

　And then the headless body fell to the ground with a thud - it didn't move.

HP is completely destroyed. ......

　I'm not going to be the only one who can do that.

　--The demons in the west area are not to be trifled with.

　They can detect any number of simultaneous attacks, even mixing in invisible attacks (・・・・・・), and they even avoid all of them and counterattack.

　You will be able to find out what you need to do with it, and you'll be able to find out what you need to do with it.

　I used my Guiding Consciousness skill to divert the bear's attention away from me for a moment, while I activated my Stealth skill to sneak up on him.
　In this case, with Leviathan as the target of my attention, much of Kumar's attention was directed toward that direction, so even with my 1 skill level Awareness Guiding Skill, I was able to successfully activate it and shut out my presence from his consciousness.

　Huh. This brings me closer to NINJA in this other world.
　I instilled the fear of ninjutsu in the otherworldly people and made them say, "Aieeeeeeee, ninja!　Ninja Nande! It won't be long before they say: .......

"and ...... uh, well, not everything is going to work out.

　The Leviathan took a third of my total magic power, but it must have consumed a considerable amount of magic power just to maintain that huge body.
　When I looked at them, it seemed that the magic power I gave them had run out after just this one battle, and they were unable to maintain the combination and had reverted to their respective spirits.

　There's no doubt that it's powerful, but ...... is a bit peppy to use it in this way. It's flashy and I like it, but it's not very fuel efficient.
　If you're going to fight against a single opponent, you'll have to think about how to use it, considering that you'll be fighting a series of battles in the magical forest. Maybe cut them down to size.

　Well, let's be glad to have one more card to play.
　It's a powerful hand, for sure.

Okay, so to the next demon--what?　Are you ...... a little different?

　Out of the corner of my eye is one of my pets, a giant red blood-colored snake named Orochi.

　At my words, Orochi is smiling bitterly, as if to say, "Oh, you didn't notice.
　Even though he's smiling bitterly, he's a snake, so there's almost no change in his face.

You know, Orochi, you're evolving (・・・・)!

　I just noticed that it was the Giant Blood Serpent.

　I thought it was called the Giant Blood Serpent, but it has been changed to the Crimson Evil Serpent King.

　It's race evolution.
　Looking at their status, their skills haven't increased and their skill level has only increased, but their abilities have increased considerably.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with it.
　I didn't notice it because I basically left it to Lil'

Coo ......

No, no, I'm pretty sure I saw the crested growth, but I thought, you know, maybe she's at an age where she wants to get dressed up. ......

　It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them. 　

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for and how you're going to get it.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I'm sure it's a good idea for you. I'm not sure if I'm going to be the only one who is currently ...... evolved to be a species.

　Check the status towards the other pets around, Yata, Byak, and Seimi, who came by, saying so with a pat on the body of Orochi with a pat on the back to deceive.



　It seems that Orochi is the only one that is growing, but has achieved tribal evolution.

　Well, it's Orochi's job to fight head-on as the main tank.
　Compared to the other three animals, it's probably because their levels are easier to raise.

　But Lil says they'll all evolve to their race in a little while.
　That's great, we'll celebrate all four of them when the time comes.

Good job! Keep up the good work and keep evolving into a powerful family member worthy of the Demon King!

　--And then, after hunting for the demons for a while, the sky began to darken and I went home .......

It's a good thing that you're a grown man, and you didn't come home in the mud, not having played with a bunch of little girls.

"Yes, I'm sorry.

　Seeing me back at home in the mud, Reffi smiles and apologizes quietly to me.

　It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to say anything, because for a while now, Leffi has been helping out with the house chores normally.

...... but, you know, that's just the way it is, right?　It's the result of smashing each other to death with the demons of the magical forest. ......

It's a good idea. It's just that when your own husband comes home, seeing him covered in mud like ...... young children, it makes you feel indescribable.

　Yeah, ...... well, I guess so.
　Sure, that's going to make me feel indecisive.

Well, anyway, Yuki, you go take a bath.

"Ai

　As you are about to head towards the inn with a change of clothes with En, anthropomorphizing and expressing her intention to take you to the bath, Reffi suddenly calls out to you again.

...... Well, today I'm going to wash your back.

What, what, what is this, all of a sudden?

　I'm a little disconcerted, so I say back.

　It's the first time I've ever taken a bath with this ...... person, although it's not uncommon for me to take a bath with her.

I'm sure you have some time before dinner. It's a good thing that you have a little time before dinner and since you look a little tired, I thought I'd give you a break.

Well, thank you. What do you really mean?

"I want to eat a rare candy.

　Yeah, I'm relieved to see you as usual.

　I'll be out of the bath, afterwards.
