317-316 Dariel gives a sandwich



 My swinging blade struck the Demon Wolf Fenrir directly on the tip of his nose.

 However, that moment was enveloped in white light and no one would have been able to witness it.
 Even I myself, who slashed at it, could not.

 Eventually, when the light subsided and I was able to see everything, there was a strange sight to behold.

''Fenrir....isn't there?''
Not just the main body, but even the little ones that split off from it...?

 The scene was so strange and obvious.

 Fenrir, which had been spreading like a karmic disease as the scourge of the world, now left no trace of its existence, to the point where it seemed as if its existence had been a lie all along.

''We won...?
''Those wolves are dead?
We won! We've won!

 The Demon King's Army soldiers and adventurers, who have been fighting desperately without knowing why, are overflowing with joy from the sense of relief that they have escaped the crisis anyway.

 Normally they are friend and foe, but they even embrace each other regardless of their differences.

 But what happened to Fenrir in the end?
 Did my ultimate sword really make him disappear?

 No, no.

 I walked up to the site where I fought a fierce battle with Fenrir's body where everything was blown away and became a wilderness.

''What is this...?

 The first thing there was the gigantic body of Gigantomachia that was holding Fenrir back until just before he was about to strike the "Koresora".
 His own earthen giant body did not have a single scratch on it.

 And another one at its feet.
 An unfamiliar object was lying on the ground.

 I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot of people who are interested in this kind of thing.
 Yes, it's not an object, but a creature with a will of its own.

 It raised its trembling snout and let out a woof.
 It was a tiny little furry body.

''Is this...?

 Radie and the others who came up with me look down at it and roll their eyes.

A dog..., a puppy!
"He's so cute!

 Many women are immediately struck by the child-like loveliness of the beast.

"Why is there a puppy here? How is this possible...?
That's Fenrir.

 This puppy is the end of the polar beast that brought this world to an end just now.
 My ultimate sword has transformed him into this shape.

My Ultimate Sword 'Koresora'. So this is the meaning of its effect, 'slaying heavenly destiny'.

 He would cut the distorted destiny, take out the frayed pieces, and return it to its original, straight form.
 If it is too distorted, it can only disappear with the distorted destiny.
 Just like that Drismegian.

 But it seems that this Fenrir was able to accept the correction of the distortions and start anew.
 So that's how big his existence was.

''Kyaaaaaah! It's a cute, cute, cute thing! Pick him up! You're rubbing your cheeks! Owwww! He's been bitten!

 The idiot is overreacting, but that's beside the point.

It's just like a power that cuts through time and space.... This is the village chief's secret sword, that it is.
I don't know the whole story myself, though.

 If you think of it in the manner of the Demon King, it's the heavenly equivalent of the Drismegian of 'Hell' and Fenrir of 'Hungry Demon'.

It's not that he ever wanted the fate of destroying the world. This guy is going to pursue what he wants in this form.

 Over there, Zebiantes is crawling around after being bitten by a still puppy-like Fenrir.

 Well, that's good enough for me.

The village chief. I have something for you, from your wife.

 What's that, Droyer?

A sandwich. It's been a long time since I went out, so I figured you'd be hungry...

 Thank goodness for that.

 Indeed, it's been a few hours since I rushed to this place. I've been moving around a lot and I'm hungry.
 My beloved wife's lunch for me. I really appreciate Marika's consideration.
 But should I say this at this time?

 But then, there was some guy who reacted to the bento more than I did.
 It was Fenrir's.

 He was taking a bite out of a Zebiantes, but then he let go of his mouth and came running over to me.
 And then, he'd baw-baw-baw and scream.

"Whoa! What the hell?

 He's coming at me with his paws raised wide.
 This is definitely the one.
 That's what they want, the sandwich.

You're not going to eat it? This?
"Bow!

 Good answer.
 But you've got to be kidding me.

 Why would I share the lunch my wife prepared for me with a dog?

''Fenrir-chan used to share the food that Zebi-chan sent to me during my training. He must have had a taste for it.
'It was always your mum's cooking for me!

 I don't know anything about that?
 I didn't know that at all.

That's how she learned that you are such a good cook.
Your sandwiches are the best in the world!

 While we're talking about such futility, Fenrir the puppy is still super clinging to me for a sandwich.
 He's trying to claw his way up my pants, but stop, it hurts.

'Yeah, okay, okay. I'll share one of them with you. Just one piece, okay?
Bau.

 You're a good guy.

'The d*mn dog liked meat better than vegetables! All you have to do is give him a ham sandwich!

 Don't be a picky eater and eat your vegetables.

 But, since this is your request, I'll give you a ham sandwich.
 Here, eat.

 He ate it.

 It looks like he's going to bite off the whole wrist.

 But you are a dog that eats with such gusto.
 I'd give her another piece, but I'll take that as a yes.

 I'm obligated to eat all of this lunch since my wife made it for me!

''........So, Dariel-san. What on earth am I supposed to do with this?
What is this?
No, I mean...?

 I know.
 You got to get rid of this little Fenrir guy, right?

 I'm sure this doggy didn't want the world to end.

 What he wanted was to eat a lot of good food.
 I'm sure every dog in the world wants this equally.

 Who gave this guy, who only has such a modest desire, the power to destroy the world?
 Without getting caught up in such things, this guy should just look for and devour something delicious from now on.

''........Well then, let's go home.

 I pick up Fenrir the puppy.

'What? Are you going to take that boy home with you?
Of course you do. Or do we just leave him here?

 A little puppy.

"Ugh?
You can't! It's such a lovely thing to do!

 Isn't it?
 Before that, no matter how cute the puppy is now, it's still a hexenbiest who could wipe out the world.
 They couldn't be left alone.

With the collapse of the Mithril mine, Bestfred and the knockers can't stay here. They will be evacuated to the village of Lux, even if only temporarily.
Hey, we've got to go!

 The frolicking knockers.

 And..........

''Let's have Gigantomachia-san come too. You can come, right?

 I mean, I won't let him get away.
 As it turns out that Mithril can be dug up thanks to this person, it's our own survival that he has to leave us.

 If this was Salamandra, I would have sprinkled salt on him and chased him away, but this blessed demonic beast must definitely be under our thumb.
