473-I wish I had kept it sooner





 The fourth day of the Sixth King Festival.
 I woke up early in the morning and used transfer magic to return to Lilia-san's residence once. The reason for this is........

''Look, Belle, don't move.......Lin, thanks for helping.
Gawd!
Cui!

 That's right, to take my pets, Belle and Ling, to the Sixth King's Festival. Because on the 4th day of the Sixth King Festival, you can bring your pets with you.
 Since Magnawell-san is hosting the festival, it's said to be a festival with a theme of interacting with demons.

 That's why I came back to pick up the two dogs, but I also came early to brush Belle while I was there.
 While I was participating in the Sixth King Festival, I asked my good servants to take care of Belle and Lynn for me. So of course they'll be brushing me every day, but I still want to do it myself.

 The key to this brushing is to use several different brushes and to wash the whole thing thoroughly at once.
 First use a coarse brush to get the dirt out of the bristles and then wash the whole body. Using a special blend of several types of shampoo for demons, he washes every detail thoroughly so that it is silky smooth when it dries.

 Then I dry it with a wind-generating magic tool, and then use a fine brush to prepare the entire body. The key here is to brush the hair in a slightly damp state, not when it's completely dry. Otherwise, you'll get into some weird habits.

'Coo.........'

 Belle seems to love my brushing and seems to be very comfortable, and she is very cute with her occasional sweet purr.
 Perhaps because she is a high-ranking race of behemoths, Belle is quite proud of herself. It is also friendly to the people in the mansion, partly because I've firmly told them to, but the only time it spoils them is to me and Zeke-san.

''Okay, done! Then just stay put while I dry you off.
Gah!

 While I was thinking about that, I finished brushing her, so I dried the whole thing completely. I'm secretly proud of my smooth bell hair, sometimes.
 Isn't there some kind of hair mask for demons? I'd like to have one if there is one.............................I'd like to make the finish a bit more moisturized. I'd also like a finer brush, so I can brush it three times to get a better finish than I have now.
 There's still a lot of room for improvement.

Then let's go to the Rokuon Festival.
Swoosh!
Yeah? What, Lynn? What's going on?
Cui! Cukui!

 I'm finished brushing and am about to head to the Sixth King Festival venue when suddenly Lynn sneaks into my clothes.
 Lynn wriggled around in my clothes as it was, with only her face peeking out of my chest in satisfaction.

 She's even more pampered than usual........maybe she missed me because I only care about Belle.
 I didn't pull out Lin who had completely burrowed into my clothes, I smiled bitterly and gave Lin a pat on the head before activating my transfer magic tool.






 When I arrived at the venue, I saw many people with their pets, or perhaps people with demons here and there.
 The current time is seven o'clock and there are still two hours until the meeting.
 I was thinking that it might be a good idea to just stroll around this area, when I suddenly heard a familiar voice.

''Oh? Good morning, Mr. Miyama, isn't it?
Chris? Good morning.

 When I turned back to the direction of the voice, I saw Chris-san dressed in men's formal wear. He was still a beautiful man in male attire, and at a glance, he looked like a normal, thin, beautiful young man with thin lines.
 Behind Chris-san was a black horse of considerable size...........about twice the normal size.

''.........That horse? are you Chris's pet?
Yes, I enjoy riding, and this one is my beloved horse, Nirva a demon of the breed Greyful Horse.

 Chris-san lightly introduces his beloved horse and then turns to Belle, the one I'm carrying, and smiles.

''Miyama-sama is a white dragon and a behemoth.....Both of them are high-ranking demons. That's the way it is.
Right!
'What? What? Miyama-sama!

 Chris-san, the quintessential emperor, seems to have a good eye for distinguishing the good ones.

'Look, see, it's smooth, isn't it? I'm pretty obsessed with brushing it off!
'Yes, well... ah, well, it's close... it's a bit of a surprise...'
You see, the bristles, especially in this area, have a bit of a habit, and you have to use a special brush to keep them nice and neat!
'What? Why the shoulder? 
Beautiful corners, don't they? The corners of the bell are black, so the dirt stands out. So wipe them down thoroughly twice...
...Um, are you listening to me? I'm the type of person who's rather susceptible to being caught by surprise... and I'm terribly embarrassed...
The one thing I'm particularly fond of is the shampoo...
''You're not listening to me. Yes, okay I've learned not to talk about pets to Miyama-sama.... I mean, so we're close to each other's faces!

 I was so happy to be complimented on my pride and joy that I went straight to Mr. Chris for over an hour talking passionately about Belle and Lynn.

 Dear Mom and Dad - it was nice to be praised for a cute pet, and I couldn't help but get enthusiastic about it. I never had a pet in my former world, but if they're this cute - I wish I'd gotten one sooner.
