While playing with Sola and the others, I felt my father's presence outside the room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It had been almost two hours since he had left to check on Forgan.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He came back earlier than I expected.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm home.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Welcome back. You're back early. What did you find out?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We didn't learn much, but we did learn that two years ago in the spring they suddenly went over the wall and attacked the village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess they must have been surprised, because they must have felt safe because the wall was protected against demons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'At that time, 104 people were killed in the attack. There were a lot of injuries, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's a pretty big damage, isn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see. I'll make you some tea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you. It's already getting pretty hot. I'm sweating when I walk.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Would you like some cold tea?　I'll get some from the kitchen downstairs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was hot this morning, wasn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I should have prepared cold tea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, I'd still prefer hot tea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is that so?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah. Hot tea is more comforting than cold tea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I make a pot of tea and put it on the desk in front of my father.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As I sat down in the chair, I could see Tron walking toward the window.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Seeing it in the sunlight for a few hours a day, I realize that it is a plant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The leaves on the tron have grown a little.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I thought to myself, "You think so too?　It's only a little, but it's gotten bigger, right?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think so, too. If you could make him a little thicker, I would feel more secure when I pick him up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It is true that they are so thin that they seem to snap when you squeeze them tightly, which is a little scary.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In fact, it was still flexible enough to hold Sola and the others without snapping, so I guess it's okay.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But I'm worried when it looks so thin.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Teryu~!'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I look down at Flem's voice, I see a figure stretching upward at my feet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This is a signal to hold him, so I gently pick him up and place him on my lap.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ryu-Ryu-Ryu~!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I can't help but smile at the sound of his satisfied voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I pick her up and place her on my lap. Where should I start?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What was on your mind, Dad?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He smiled at my question.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'You know that story about the demon and the demon combined?'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You know, the rumors that circulated because of the unexpected appearance of Forgan.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Could there be something to that?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Could it be that something like that actually happened?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If your father is concerned about it, is there an actual case of combining demons?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Oh,' he said, 'I haven't actually been involved in that. I wasn't actually involved in that problem, but it was actually found in a village somewhere a few years ago.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Some village a few years ago?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's a little vague.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You don't know which village?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I couldn't find out much about it. It was heavily guarded. It seemed like a dangerous place to venture into.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Your father is definitely not an ordinary adventurer, is he?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Did you think that Forgan was also a demon created by a combination of demons?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I thought I could figure that out, but I couldn't tell just from your story," he said. I just wonder about the fact that it appeared out of nowhere. If it was an evolution, there would definitely be traces left behind. Even if it is a mutation, I think the original demon is nearby. Even if they are not in the vicinity of this village, they are in neighboring villages and towns."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Certainly, even if it was evolution or mutation, there must be demons before the change.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

According to the shopkeeper, there are no demons similar to Forgan in the vicinity of this village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Not even around the neighboring villages and towns?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Oh, as far as I've heard, there weren't any. I asked about demons in the snake lineage, but the adventurers seemed to think they were different demons. I've heard from adventurers who have actually fought them, so I think I can believe them to some extent."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, like a mutation that has none of the characteristics of the original demon?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There are demons born by mutation, but I heard that they had some of the characteristics of the original demons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's still impossible, isn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Did they make a great migration?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When Forgan first attacked the village, there were seventeen of them, and if there were seventeen three-meter demons moving around, there must have been a rumor somewhere.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'That's right.'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was a great thing when they moved with Mr. Serpent, wasn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If we can locate where Forgan lives, we might learn something.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Lives?　You don't know where he lives?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Apparently so. They have investigated several times so far, but they have not found it yet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think I heard that the most important thing to find out about the ecology of demons is to know where they live.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If you look at where they live, you can find out what they mainly eat, the state of their offspring, and so on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There are still a lot of things we don't know about the volcanoes, aren't there?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Sounds like it. I asked a few adventurers over a few drinks at the Adventurers' Guild, but all I got was pretty much the same information. Oh, that's right. I sold a few magic stones at the guild.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Of course it was good."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You didn't have to worry about that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Before you leave--"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Beep, beep, beep.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Beep-beep-beep.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Beep-beep-beep.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Alarm?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If it's an alarm, does that mean Forgan is climbing the wall?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What, an attack?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ivy, I'm going to go check on him. You okay?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yeah. I'm here. We're all here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ciel, if anything goes wrong, you go back to where you were, and you take care of Ivy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nyah-uh.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"P-p-please!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll be here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I understand Ciel, but I wonder why even Sora and Flem are willing to do it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Slime is weak, right?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sola and Flem?　Haha, don't ask for two of them. I'm going to go for now. Maybe I'll give you a hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I understand. Be careful. Take it easy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah, sure."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As I watched my father grab his sword and leave the room, I heard multiple footsteps clattering on the first floor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was probably a group of adventurers preparing to take down Forgan.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I closed the door and locked it tightly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

From the window of this room, the wall is too far away to see.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I stand by the window and look out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see several adventurers running toward the wall.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Knock-knock.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ivy. It's Riffli."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I heard the owner's voice outside the room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Yes. What's up?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I answered back without opening the door.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was told not to open the door when my father was not around.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I almost opened the door before and Ciel got angry with me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The druid has gone.　If you are worried, come to the common room on the first floor. There are kids staying at the inn."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Are they all together?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you. But I'll be fine."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I understand. But if you need anything, you let me know right away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I exhale in relief at the presence of the shopkeeper leaving the room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I looked back into the room, I saw Adandara, who had become a little smaller.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ciel, you were back to normal?　I'm fine."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nyaun."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She purrs once at my words, and then lies down at the foot of the chair, still in that form.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you for protecting me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nyaun."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ciel is now in full control of her magic, and I doubt she'll recognize me in this form.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Dawn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was about to reach for my tea when I heard a heavy bass explosion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Is everything alright?'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Nyaun!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ppppppp~"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Tee-ryu~."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When Ciel nods and meows, Sora and Flem do the same.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sure they are telling me that they are fine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Come to think of it, since a little while ago, Sora and the others have been nodding back at me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's easier to understand than the plodding replies.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But why did they start nodding back?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Change of heart or something?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I taught you before, you were unresponsive, so I gave up. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, whatever it was, I'm glad it was an intelligible reply.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thanks for the clear reply."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nyaun."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ppppppp~"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Tell you..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Phew!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Gee!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Sol and Tron, too?　Pfft, so cute."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Dawn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The explosion sound heard again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'They said they use water magic, so I wonder if it's clashing with fire magic?'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sola and the others told me they were fine, but I'm still worried.
