Monster no Goshujin-sama

Five.

"Guru ah!

A fang-stripped Fire Fang drives through the deep woods.

Running through the trees and sewing between them, crushing them, trying to circle behind us.

In me and elsewhere, it's finally fast to chase with your eyes.

But that didn't outweigh white spider manoeuvres.

"Guru!?

Stunning scream.

A white shadow blocks the front of the wolf.

"Toshiba, bye."

A white spider that was supposed to be next to me until just a moment ago grinned in the girl's face.

And a blow.

"Hmm."

"Gyah!?

The white spider, Toto Garbera, punched Fire Fang in the nose with his bare hands.

Fists that just protruded appropriately had enough killing power on them, even at the mercy of their powers.

Several fangs are broken and a giant wolf over two metres long is blown in the opposite direction.

This is the only thing that's going to break my neck bone, but the boulder is a monster, or Fire Fang got up while drooling his nose.

"Rurururu...... Huh!

Give me a roar. Keep it in tow, turn around.

Fire Fang, aware of his disadvantage, shows his tail and escapes.

Of course, there is no reason for me to escort this to adulthood.

"My lord!

When Gabella, who returned quickly, received the great shield from my hand, she carried it like I usually do when I travel.

Keep it that way, she held me up in her slender arms.

So far, it was a flowing task.

Every piece of Gabella's behavior was agile and useless. Together, so much so that you're going to be blinded.

After all, she is the petitioner for battle, and it is only in these places that she shines.

... Sounds like a shame when it comes to one of the usual things.

Well, that's a cute place to be, so it's never bad.

"Be careful not to bite your tongue"

"I wish you'd said the same thing when we met."

"... isn't that an unspoken promise"

Gerbera looked disgusted at my bad jokes, but this much I wanted you to forgive.

Anyway, what I'm doing right now is what I call a "princess hug."

It seemed pitiful and tearful.

I think you should take this on your shoulders, but it has been rejected as a safety issue to run through the woods.

"Yuku."

Speaking to me, Gabella ran out like an arrow released from her bow.

Gungu and forest trees flow back.

It was incredibly fast. It's like a passenger car that we're used to in modern Japan, but it's in a forest full of obstacles. If I could run at the same speed, I'd hit the trees in less than five meters. I'm sure the reflex nerves are different.

Besides, I can see that they care to keep the vibrations from happening to me as much as possible.

If this is what I was doing to Gabella, I must not have been able to hold onto it. This was the right thing to do with a hug.

While I was being held and running, my eyes gradually got used to me, too.

I can confirm the back of Fire Fang running in front of me. This one was also running through the woods at a tremendous speed.

But Gabella's movements were further on top.

Never miss, keep a certain distance. Try to be the side to be chased, it won't be a hoarding one.

We encountered this Fire Fang in the immediate vicinity of a water source that came under the guidance of Gabella.

Defeat the attack and continue to do so.

They came to the fountain for water. There was only one Fire Fang. But originally monsters of this kind are herds.

Things were a little different around the colony because all the expeditions left was a 'detachment', but it's usually the herd that acts.

Hence.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Is that a roar or a scream?

A few seconds after the howl of Fire Fang at hand, a wolf howl echoed from the crowd to respond.

Operation's a success.

"Uhm."

When I snapped small, Gabella nodded.

"Five or six."

End of story or no, a wolf jumped out of the left and right woods.

"Guru ah!

A red flame spitting out of the wolf's mouth licks the forest, scorches the tall and soaring trees, and burns down the trees in an instant.

Shortly before being flamed, Garbera jumped up vertically, jumping on one of the trees.

"Gu......!

The rash and leaves rubbed and hurt, but I couldn't complain, and I ate my teeth all the time.

Gabella quickly moves onto another tree. The tree I had just been in burned up like a candle in several flames.

"Unfortunately, there are not enough concubines."

If I look down under my eyes in the words of Gabella, there are six wolves there who look up and roar about us. I can't feel the presence of the path.

I made sure of it, too, and I nodded.

"Sounds like it."

"Okay, so there's no reason to hesitate."

Yarn flies out of Gabella's hand.

Half dodged this, but the rest were caught without escape. Gabella fished a single pair of wolves with ease, releasing them intact... knocking them off her head on the ground.

"Do you want to end it?"

It didn't take long for Gabella to destroy the wolves.

After everything was over, we had an operation meeting.

By the way, as many as six Fire Fangs defeated at the corner, but it's hard to bring it all home, so after properly dismantling it, we were left with the majority.

The fur is not very pretty, although it is nice to peel off the whole head. This is how I try to get away and find out, but Rose really relied on me, not just in battle.

"First things first, like success."

Gabella nodded at my words.

"Really? But after all, we haven't been able to find any relatives."

"That would be irrelevant. Let's start by rejoicing that we've had a trial and error comparable to three days here just for less than half a day today."

We were moving the place of exploration near the fountain that Gabella had said.

As Gabella said, there certainly seemed to be many monsters around, and we continued to encounter three monsters.

The last of them was Fire Fang earlier.

In order to encounter as many monsters as possible, it is most efficient to find a herd. If it's white Arakune's combat ability, it's because there's no makeover to kick it off.

That would be the quickest thing to do if you could hit a herd from the start, but in some cases, as earlier, you are acting alone.

The monster is' unwilling '. However, in my little world, "the intelligence of wildlife is combined".

Then you can explore efficiently if you wait for him to call his people.

That was the end of the battle earlier.

The pre-erected operation was brilliantly centered, and within just a few hours we were able to encounter as many as eight monsters.

"It's time to go home. The sun goes down. And then tomorrow."

"No."

It wasn't a bad situation.

On the other hand, there isn't much time left.

It's time for Lily to demodulate, and Rose will have all the lost weapons. If that happens, Gabella's chances of getting a handle on it will be lost.

We have to hurry...

I kept thinking about that on my way home.

When we returned to Arakune's nest, it was Lily's full grin that greeted us.

"Welcome back, master!

That being said, I can't see the color of tiredness in the look that holds me in my arms. On the contrary, oddly enough, she was tense.

"I'm home.... are you okay, I haven't slept"

"That's not at all anymore. I just woke up. Welcome back, Gabella."

"Ugh, um. I'm home."

Speaking of which, it may be the first time in days that Lily has been hugging me in the arm like this.

Is it because he seemed so happy that he was accumulating a little depression?

Even for me, I'm glad to be in touch with her in this way.

At the same time, I'm glad this was a bit of a hassle.

It was obvious that Lily, who was better, would follow us in our quest.

But for Gabella's sake, it would be more convenient for me and her to explore alone for a little while longer. What is wrong with it?

As I pondered the words of persuasion, I went on to a loving dinner prepared by Lily.

Since Lily demodulated, it will be the first time since that night of intense fighting that everyone will be face-to-face.

The meal is getting familiar with Fire Fang meat. Yeah. It's as bad as ever. Hard. Apparently Lily's affection could not overshadow the lack of material.

How blessed was the once cheap meat of a burger eaten in Japan without the emotions to cook... I came here and understood very well.

"Tomorrow, I'll come with you."

"Why don't you at least take it slow for another day or so"

"But"

"Even I took care of my day after I healed."

When I convinced her, Lily looked dissatisfied.

Pretending not to notice her expression like that, I kept eating.

It is a bad time buyer. Whether or not we will achieve results in a single day tomorrow is clearly a matter of expectation. But it was better than not being given the opportunity.

"That's right. Speaking of which, there was something I had to tell you."

I decided to change the subject slightly and seal Lily's objections.

Besides, it was also true that we had something to talk about. Today, I got a chance to talk to Gabella about the Fountain of Examples, and I found out something.

What I wanted to talk to you about was about that fountain - it wasn't.

During our discussion a few hours ago about what we are doing, we just decided, 'I can't afford Lily' and 'I can't talk to Rose'.

Nevertheless, it is not necessary to lay low the information of the very existence of the fountain.

... but if you talk poorly, it doesn't mean that Gabella, who has a detour, won't let her mouth slide about what we're doing right now. Judging by that, I gave you another topic.

"Gabella says she can get out of this forest."

"Gabella did?

As Lily turned her gaze, Gabella nodded with a hard look.

Between them, there is still a commitment.

Lily is natural, but Gabella seemed to feel more of a burden unilaterally.

In that day's battle, who among us suffered the greatest damage, Lily would have been forced to take care of herself until today. So maybe there's no choice around here.

I pinched my mouth for follow-up.

"Gabella's been to the edge of the woods before, hasn't she?

"Oh, wow."

Gabella nodded and began to follow slightly.

"I know you don't know Lord Lily or Lord Rose because it was a long time ago, but it was about three times in the long life of a concubine that a large number of humans came into this forest. Only then did the concubine come out of the species of man, except for the Lord."

"Ah."

That's when Lily raised her voice like she noticed something.

"Besides your husbands and transferees, this world has never been human."

The sentiment Lily gave me was roughly the same as what I thought when I heard this.

Never before have we encountered this otherworldly man.

That's because it was in the back of the deep woods that we moved. Even Gabella said she had only seen humans three times in her long life, so furthermore, Lily and the others couldn't have seen them before.

"At the time of the cabin, you could have guessed that you would be there."

"Mm-hmm. Oh. Speaking of which, there was that one."

I'm talking about that mountain hut that Kato and I left and turned into wreckage.

At the time I found that one, I thought there would be humans in this world.

Nevertheless, as a worst case scenario, it was possible that this world I had transferred to was a planet dominated by monkeys or a world dominated by upright Namekuji. That was a serious concern that could never be laughed off more than there was something about a monster.

In that sense, Gabella's sighting that she had actually seen humans was something of value to me.

Gabella continues her old story.

"Naturally, if many humans step into this deep forest, that's all the trace will be created. There's no way the concubines monsters won't notice that. I already pushed it like a fury. The concubine was one of them at the time. After the escaping man, the concubine found herself at the edge of the woods."

"Perhaps it was the human army that Gabella fought for."

According to Gabella's story, it was a group that was given unified armaments. Even so, by the time Gabella arrived, she was already in havoc, and had not exchanged favors as an army.

Armor to protect your torso. helmets. And shields on one-handed swords...... as far as I can tell, are there such things as soldiers belonging to some country in this world? They didn't see any firearms.

The main weapon is not a spear, but a sword, perhaps because we thought about operating in an obstruction-rich forest.

"In order to get out of the woods, the shortest distance seems to be straight in the 'north' direction where we are talking"

"I'll say no for once, because it was a long time ago. The boundaries of the forest may be changing now."

"Still, compared to not knowing anything, it's not a long way forward!

With his hands together, Lily chuckled and laughed at Gabella.

After all, she doesn't have anything like a consignment to Gabella. Instead, it also seemed like he was trying to show his gait with clarity and attitude that the smile was nowhere to be thought of by Gabella.

Too much to think about. The status quo, what she was doing, was definitely reducing my hard work.

"Is that it?"

I turned my eyes around like that lily noticed something.

"But... the path of the First Expeditionary Corps is certain, wasn't it 'oriented east'"

"Oh. Apparently there's no luck at the top of the expedition."

I'm not sure we have much luck following them either.

Of course, it's possible they noticed along the way and are changing course. In that case, Miho Mizushima's childhood friend, Jun Takaya, who left information for Kato and followed the First Expeditionary Corps, will be the wings of a chase that he will never catch up with.

"If we head east, we'll all be able to get out of the woods."

Even this forest won't last forever. In fact, they say the forest is broken on the north side.

"So you're saying we're headed north now?

"... that's it, to be honest, I'm a little lost"

It is possible that if we do head east, we can rendezvous with the First Expedition.

If you want Kato's protection, you should choose this one. But on the other hand, it will be too late to get through this forest.

I must leave this forest soon. As I've thought before, this forest is too bad for me to live in. The situation has improved considerably in terms of safety thanks to Gabella's joining the family, but nutritional problems, for example, are not such that they can be managed with arm strength.

Now we can make sure we get out of the woods. It is possible that a human settlement will be found beyond that. That's more likely than not. If there is an army, there will be a nation. Because there is no way that an army can be formed without a society that was orderly.

Visit the people and I will get the supplies I need.

The question is, can you find a safe place for Kato...

"... well, you won't even have to make a decision right away"

That's how I concluded. Hurry up and say you can't do anything. It's not something that I have to decide right now. You should think hard before you move on to action.

"Speaking of which,"

So it was Kato who had been listening to us.

"-!"

When I heard that voice, I didn't think, I was just about to grab Fire Fang's meat skewer.

"... what's up, Kato?"

In response, I grabbed the meat skewer again.

I immediately restarted my movements, so maybe it was about Lily leaning next to me who noticed something was wrong with me. She stared at my side a little strangely.

"No, other than us, Mr. Gabella has only seen humans three times."

"It should have been.... right?

"Ugh, um"

When she urged her gaze to answer herself, Gabella snorted like a little child. Against Kato, he still seems to have a bad consciousness ahead of him.

"Student clothes… have you ever met a man in clothes like ours?"

"Are you going to do it with the metastasizer who said he was a compatriot of the Lord, or with the cheat abilities that are in it? No, I've never seen a concubine before."

"Then... seniors?

Kato pointed the water at me, so I raised my eyes from the meat skewer.

By this time, the upset had subsided.

Still, when I saw her, my heart beat weird once.

"You've found a body in pieces before. If it's true that Mr. Gabella hasn't met the other metastasizers, it means it wasn't her fault."

"... Speaking of which, is that what's going to happen"

We've found five torn apart bodies before, including a cheat capable man.

Though 'Warrior' is only highly physically capable and magical, yes, there is no such thing as a cheat capable person being killed by a monster. It was Lily's story that they with irregular combat abilities can't kill unless they're about as high a monster, and that's as hard as it gets.

Originally, we moved out of the cave we used to screw around in fear of encountering this high monster whose existence was suggested.

Then we were raided by 'White Arakune, a high monster'.

So, I knew it was her work, and I thought unconsciously - rather than forgetting about a lot of things and barely thinking about that matter, and I didn't really think about it properly - but if you calm down and think about it, that's a little weird.

That body had been bitten to death by a beast.

But white Arakune is not a big carnivore type monster, even if he is a high monster.

"A corpse in pieces? I don't know what it is, it's"

Garbera didn't know that.

Does that mean, then, that in addition to her, there are other high monsters in this neighborhood that are exceptional among the monsters?

Otherwise it wouldn't make sense, but that also had something to hook me up with.

The two males do not stand alongside each other...... but the high monster has to live a long time as a premise.

Monsters do not lean against the Arakune nest where we are now. That's because, over the years, monsters have been eliminated that get close to this place.

Basically, a monster is hostile not only to humans, but also to monsters other than the same species. Some kind of computer RPG battle. Nice to meet you, but no other kind of monster will hit you shoulder to shoulder.

Five days on the feet of men from the point where we found the bodies falling apart. Monsters would be able to travel in a shorter period of time.

Gabella lives a long period of time that is distracting to me, a human being. It was a little uncomfortable that two powerful monsters coexisted in such a narrow area, albeit somewhat apart, for a long time.

Well, that happens, is it...?

I had to be so convinced that there was no more evidence to deny it.

"Anyway, have you ever been over there to keep it in mind"

"Right."

Nevertheless, Mr. Kato is excellent.

He also realizes that I didn't realize it.

When I say cutter... I feel like I'm subtly off target. Kato has a good point of view. She seemed sensitive and clever from my eyes, even if I subtracted myself from the fact that I was a bad person.

I feel like I often pull a poor lottery for it... but I guess that's only because she stands around like she is herself.

What is making her do that?

Thinking about it, it was strange.

... what are you thinking and doing so?

Thinking about it, it was even suspicious.

……

I chewed my back teeth and drank down bitter thoughts.

I'm disgusted with myself for thinking this way about the benefactor of my life.

I can just feel it now, I can think of it as somewhat better... but it's also not the kind of situation that would be an excuse for something. Because it is true that I am lacking a brother-in-law against her, the benefactor of my life.

Whatever.

In any case, I was only certain that she had the ability to follow what was missing from me.

Gabella told me that if I wanted to talk to you, I should talk to Kato.

That's right.

Even in that sense, we will still have to do something about our relationship with her soon.

While I confirmed that, there was nothing I could do now, and I was already asleep that day in preparation for tomorrow, a precious opportunity left for Gabella.

… it was a little later that I realized that this was a failure.
