Monster no Goshujin-sama

Six.

The next day, I decided to leave Arakune's nest early in the morning.

"Lord. You've got what you asked for."

Shortly before I left, Gabella gave me the top and bottom of my clothes.

It's a garment made by Gabella, which I asked for before.

Garbera weaving cloth at an incredible rate, but it seems that the boulder was unable to make it in this short period of time, and half of the fabric has been stocked for a long time.

The simple shirt is a slightly thick long sleeve, sturdy one that presupposes walking in the woods. My pants are also white, so they are white both up and down.

I was uncomfortable with the coordination I don't usually do, but complaining there would be about luxury.

"You look great, Lord."

"... do you?

When I changed and came back, Gabella blushed her cheeks for some reason when she saw me.

Were you glad I was wearing the clothes she made, or did you realize I was subtly a pair of looks?

Also, this is a spider's yarn, so from what I can see, there may have been something to feel in my appearance that could be described as' wrapped in the yarn she produced '.

Furthermore, wearing Rose's prepared black shade of protective equipment from the top… well, perhaps I could say that the shades were balanced.

The last time I gave the pseudo-Damascus steel sword to a belt made of crawl, it was ready.

It is now entirely a division of labor between Rose's martial artefacts and Garbera's woven garments, but in the future we want them to work together in each other's areas.

If you order me to do it now, you'll do it, but I can't even look at it when I do that at this delicate time and I'm going to leave the evil behind until later.

It's not like we're gonna get results soon anyway, and we don't need to hurry. Again, we should do these things after we get rid of their obsession...

"Lord."

When I realized, Gabella, who was supposed to be somewhat bored, looked at my face with care.

"What's up?

"No, what. I thought the Lord might look a little pale."

"Me?

I caressed my cheek unexpectedly.

The feel of my fingertips seems very cold.

"No. I don't have any particular problems. Never mind."

I do have a lot to think about lately and didn't sleep much yesterday.

But I'm not ill, and I don't feel so drowsy. A bit of fatigue remains due to continuous walking, but it is a sufficient range of activities. I can't rest to this extent.

"Let's go"

I encouraged Gabella to lower her brow butt somewhat worryingly, and I left my nest.

She also found it true that if I actually started the activity, I wouldn't be ill, and she didn't say anything more.

It took us an hour or so to get to the immediate vicinity of the fountain, which is our destination.

It's just a source of water for the creatures around here, and the size of the spring is pretty big.

We kept walking for another hour and encountered two monsters.

Raph Rabbit with the head of a rabbit on the bear's body and the other was a monster like a crab about a meter long that popped up cracking the waters of the fountain. I've never heard of this one in the colony, so I decided to name it Big Sisters, assuming.

I just wanted to run into you again.

Because they are both the first monsters to come out, so we need to feed Lily and boost her power.

... isn't it enough to feed them once? That's the best opinion, but that's not what I'm saying.

In order to demonstrate Lily's pseudo abilities, she must be fed the majority of the monster's carcass. In other words, we can't eat Raph Rabbit and Big Sizzlers.

Of course, the food situation isn't so stuffed that you don't have to dare eat these meats.

Every meat in Fire Fang is stockpiled.

I just don't dare to have to, but I had a desire to eat.

... To be honest, I was tired of Fire Fang meat.

I am not a special food-obsessed person, but I was sick of eating like this all the time.

It's time to eat meat from another animal.

Other than lizards and rats.

Especially since Big Sizzlers looks delicious.

I couldn't say with certainty that there was nothing wrong with it to that extent, although it might smell a little muddy or overwhelming because it was a crab. Anyway, the current food environment is too bad.

Nevertheless, I can't add any more baggage.

If further exploration allows us to take home the Big Sizzlers as food, that's going to be our next pleasure.

When I was thinking about it, Gabella came here after the example 'packing'.

Because Raph Rabbit was huge, the cocoon that wrapped it had become a very large one.

It was a slightly humorous sight to pull it off.

"Good luck"

"The Lord is the Lord. Good luck."

Speaking of labor, Gabella offered me a water bottle made by Rose.

Although there is a fountain nearby, I can't even see it if I drink it as it is and have abdominal pain. I used what I brought for drinking water.

Water is a heavy thing, so all but a small amount to moisten my throat while walking was kept with Gabella during the trip.

"Thanks"

Thank God I tried to pick up the water bottle.

It was then.

"... ugh."

The scenery seeped in his eyes, and countless tiny lights scattered in his sight.

That was just for a moment.

But it wasn't a good time.

My hand missed the water bottle that Gabella offered me.

"Ah."

A water bottle that I played at my fingertips fell to the ground.

The water spilled when I heard a noise.

In a hurry I took the water bottle, but the contents were reduced to about a third.

... I've done it.

Of course, I wasn't regretting the water I lost.

"What is it, Lord?"

Gabella looked suspicious and stared at me.

"I was curious, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Something's not right."

"... what's weird?

"Sometimes, but it doesn't seem like you're making a mistake. Are you hiding something from your concubine?

And so he stares at me with his little red eyes.

Hold still, hold still, the power of her gaze never loosened.

Hi. I hear she's sure.

I thought I could somehow mislead you, but this is apparently impossible.

I can't help it, can I?

I've been with her mostly during the day here lately. She was the one who was following me, and even if it wasn't for this one, it was only a matter of time before I was noticed.

"It's not a big deal."

I made the necessary prerequisite and then decided to reveal the situation to Gabella.

"Thank you. Sometimes I've lost my mind lately."

"My eyes?

"Oh. When it seeps or is bad, I see a little white light..."

"Isn't it important!

Gabella jumped with eight legs and grabbed my face with both hands.

It was not a speed that could be avoided.

As I was exchanged, I became the feather of gazing up close at her face, which I could only imagine had been made by God.

"Mmm."

At a breathtaking distance, he peeps at his face.

I was surprised, but there was no colourful atmosphere for Gabella.

She looks me in the eye with a scary, serious look.

Of course, as much as you did that, you don't need a doctor if you know how someone else is feeling.

There will be about a doctor in this world as well.... or is he not here? This is the kind of world where magic exists.

"Just once in a while. It's no big deal. I'm not feeling too bad."

When I made an excuse slightly earlier, a small crease appeared between Gabella's eyebrows.

"Is it true?

"Oh. When you're tired, a human is something that seeps through your vision. It happens all the time."

"Yesterday the Lord said the same thing and tried to mislead his concubine."

"... Anyway, get away"

When I thought of the word rust coming out of me, I put my hand down to cover the bottom half of her face and peeled it off all the time.

It may have been a rush to say no to the female opponent, but the sturdy Gabella, not twice as many people, didn't look as if she cared, she snorted at the thought and put her arms around her.

"But the white light....... yeah?

A bright white brow, as painted with a brush, was only slightly stirred.

"What's up, Gabella"

"No what. I was just wondering."

When I asked, Gabella stuck her quiet hand out in front of me.

"See you later. Take a look."

"Yeah?"

"... my concubine is not very good at these things."

That said, Gabella narrowed her eyes for a few seconds.

"Huh?"

I was staring at Gabella's fingertips as she told me, and I was accidentally raising my dumb voice.

The white light lit up on Gabella's fingertips.

It was the light I used to see from time to time, a few days here.

"Hey, why..."

"Again."

Gabella grabbed her hand looking a little tired.

Already from its fingertips, the light had been lost.

"I didn't think so."

Gabella sighed small and said.

"The Lord has the power to sense magic."

"Magic? Me?"

"Uhm."

From Gabella nodding with a big serious face, I can't feel any signs that I'm joking.

But not very much, but I didn't intend to swallow her words as they were.

"That's right, Gabella. I'm not supposed to be magically fit. That's exactly what the wizard of cheat ability told me in the colony."

"My concubine has trouble telling me that."

Even though he uttered the most bitter of complaints, Gabella did not stop thinking there.

"... but if that's true, is it indeed a strange story"

Garbera, who sat down again folding her spider leg, tilted her little neck.

"Anyone can use magic and other magic. As long as you have magic, it's not that hard to see magic. In the first place, sensing magic is an essential skill in dealing with magic. … but it's hard to change what's called texture"

"Is that what this is about?"

"Mm-hmm. In this case, it's called literacy because it's about the total amount of magic. For some reason, the Lord has increased the amount of magic in his possession."

For some reason.

It was a disgusting expression.

It's nothing to the detriment, and it should be more convenient for me, but I just feel a little uncomfortable that the cause is unknown.

"Because you defeated the monster, what do you mean? Surely defeating a monster can take away magic. Colony, so I was trying to reinforce the expedition."

"It's not such an efficient means, it is. I just killed him with a hundred or a thousand digits, whether I can actually feel it. There is a difference between what the concubine does and what the Lord will do."

"Because the original amount of magic is different"

"That's not what I meant. But in the first place, the Lord was only with his concubine, and he stabbed Todome."

"So is that."

"Or it could be that there were a few more efficient means, and the Lord did not know and used those means..."

"That's a little hard to think about. If you have the means, I'd really like to know."

More magic means I will strengthen myself.

How advantageous it works to survive in this harsh otherworldly.

"Anyway, if magic works, it's not a bad story."

……

I conclude so - or that Gabella was looking strangely at me for shelving the problem.

"What are you talking about, Lord?"

"Yeah?"

"Isn't the Lord already using magic?"

They told me like I was frightened, but I hate you, I don't know.

So I asked.

"Oh, my God."

"There will be a path connected between the concubines. It would also be a splendid form of magic."

"Really?

"Why does the Lord not know?"

"I don't care if they say that..."

I scratched my head in the face.

As long as you learn, you can use magic even if you were a mundane student who is not cheat capable. That was the theory in the colony. Nevertheless, only a handful of exceptions benefited from the opportunity to master magic among ordinary students who were actually 'residual groups'.

For our teenage students, who are curious about their age, the strange phenomenon of magic was of interest. As a result, I also had quite a bit of information coming in.

But not knowing the entity is huge.

Most importantly, as long as I was told, this strange power that connects us couldn't possibly be anything other than magic.

There is also the feeling that it determines cheaply that all strange phenomena are due to magic, but I guess it is not a mistake if you think so for the most part in this world.

So I was using something called magic unconsciously?

That means my cheat ability is constantly activated magic.

It's magic that connects the monster to the heart.

Thinking about it, it even felt a little fancy.

……

If you think about it, how could I have been given this cheat ability?

That's what I thought.

Human beings who have transferred to different worlds are given cheat abilities.

Let's just say this is good. The cause is unknown, but the fact that we all are, I guess there is some sort of inevitability there unique to this other world.

Is there any inevitability, then, that I have also been given this ability?

If so, how can you do this again?

... may seem displeased, but I didn't want to complain about it.

You wouldn't have seen it like that if it was an easy to understand ability to notice while in a colony, or the constantly activated would be too user-friendly, for which reason it's a subtle strength as a cheat ability?

I really don't intend to line up those grievances that people in my position can think of.

Because with that ability, I was able to meet Lily and the others here.

There couldn't have been any complaints.

So I just wondered.

I wonder why I am like this...

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

So unexpectedly, Gabella raised her voice.

I am called back from my thoughts, and I am stifled.

When I did my gaze, there was the appearance of Gabella stopping the movement, as if she had noticed something.

Is something wrong?

... and almost simultaneously with what I thought, I saw a leap in the same dimensions as a few minutes ago, and Gabella captured my face with both hands.

Again.

I thought so, but things were a little strange.

……

Take a peek into my eyes just like you did earlier.

But her red eyes now seemed to focus somewhere else.

"... you mean that"

"Hey, Gabella"

I couldn't stop calling her by her name in a voice that sounded grumpy.

I pretended to be grumpy because if I didn't, my voice would have nodded.

"Explain it to me not convinced by myself. And it would help if you let me go."

Come on, Gabella should realize that she's a hell of an attractive heterosexual for a man.

Even being favored makes me feel uncomfortable.

Originally she was my family. It is special to me, and on top of that, yesterday I am allowed to sweeten where my heart was weakened.

You can't just leave your stance obscured about their relationship with their families and get irresponsible hands on it. That's why I wanted you to keep this decision.

"Hmm. Sorry about that."

Honestly following my request, Gabella let go of my hand.

But his gaze remained untouched and he stared behind my eyes.

"Don't be surprised, Lord."

I felt uncomfortable, and Gabella flickered at me.

"in the body of the Lord."

"Oh."

"The magic of concubines exists"

"... what?

I got pompous on the less unexpected Gabella dialogue.

…… That's, uh... what do you mean?

"I can't tell you for sure. Usually, that can't be happening."

Gabella rocked her long bright white hair to the side to express her indissoluble.

"But I can guess. Perhaps the path between the concubines is the cause? Because it unites the concubines with the Lord."

"Hey, give me a minute. So, what is it? The increased amount of magic in me means you're receiving it from Gabella?

"Alternatively, it may include the portion of Lord Lily and Lord Rose there. I'm sure it's so slight that it can't be detected by a concubine."

"That's what..."

Reflectively rebutting, I realized that I had no material to deny her claim.

"Sure... Sure, then, as soon as I had Gabella as a family member, I could explain that the example 'tiny right in front of me' phenomenon happened"

As far as I can remember, that 'tiny light'... i.e. I detected magic when I first interacted with Lily on my second morning's sleep after I had Garbera as my family member.

At least, that was not the case before we brought Gabella into the family.

"But how come it's just Gabella?

"I wonder if that's simply a matter of the amount of magic you hold. For example, if you think that magic is" leaking "through the path. If it is a 'leak' in the same ratio, there will be more 'leaks' in absolute quantities"

"As long as it takes..."

Until you brought Gabella into your family, did you mean that even if a similar phenomenon had occurred, it wasn't enough to make you aware?

Speaking of which, the colony had heard that 'magic is what dwells in the soul'.

I can't tell you what a soul is, I'm just a student, and I can't distinguish "soul" from something called "heart" or "spirit".

But assuming they're similar... even if they're not, if they're closely related... maybe it's not weird if my path goes through magic.

Of course, nothing is certain.

Nevertheless, it was not there that mattered to me.

"I mean, what?"

I dampened my lips with my tongue, then asked with a slightly swept voice.

"You mean my magic will only grow stronger if I increase my family?

"That's what's going to happen. Alternatively, it may be possible to increase the amount of magic in the Lord's Palace itself, even as it is now."

"If that's true... that's not bad"

My cheat abilities are not very powerful.

Simply in a warrior sense, but most of all, it was deadly that I had no power to fight myself.

No matter how powerful you muster, if I'm vulnerable at the heart, I could be stuck in weakness.

This discovery had the potential to fill these weaknesses in my cheat abilities.

For the first time in a really long time, I remembered how excited I felt.

"Quickly, why don't you ask Lily to teach you magic when you get back"

It was originally an option I had taken off because I had no magical talent of my own. It would have been better if I'd still been shaking my sword and working out my body.

But things have changed.

If a bit of literacy was born, we should move in the direction of keeping it alive. If magic is expected to continue to increase whenever there are more family members to come, it is a matter of regret.

"If you do, you won't regret not being here for a few days."

That was in my honest mood, but it might have been a bit of a failure to put it out in my mouth.

"If the Lord had talked to someone earlier, could he have moved a little faster?... Oh, no. Right."

Then he lowered his eyebrows as if Gabella had noticed something.

"This is because of my concubine."

……

I have never spoken to anyone about the anomaly that is happening to me because it would not have been convenient for me to go out and talk about it.

For that reason, I cannot deny that there is something about Gabella.

But that couldn't have made her feel responsible in this matter.

"Nothing, it's not your fault"

I slapped the white head of Gabella, who dropped her shoulder as a shrug, gently.

"The main hall..."

"It's just that I'm such a jerk. If I say so, this is like my own."

It is true that, as a result of the intertwining of various factors, we are now often lying low on our fellow citizens.

This may not be a very good thing.

But things will change nearby.

No, I'll change it.

You have to change it.

My own problems and those of their families.

I'll take care of everything.

I have to.

It has to be.

Because I, the Lord who leads them, am responsible for it...

"Hmm?"

And that was then.

Gabella, who was sending me a sharp glance, frowned.

"- Lord!

There were only super-class fighters on the boulder, and the switchover was instant.

The air tightens tightly.

As I followed her gaze, I lifted my hips. I may be getting used to this kind of reflexive behavior.

Beyond the trees of the woods, my eyes captured the shadow of the beast.

For a moment I looked at it, I thought it was Fire Fang, but the shadow is small for it.

That said, there are about medium sized dogs.

"... fox?

Triangle ears. Bloated tail.

It was a monster very similar to the fox in our world.

Large for a fox, but his eyes were accustomed to the giant Fire Fang of the same canine lineage, so he had a much smaller impression of it.

Of course, the small size of the body is completely unrelated to the magnitude of the danger.

I immediately remembered the knowledge I had gained in the colony.

"This guy..." Balloon fox "!

About the same time I scream my name in the colony.

Suuuuu finally breathed and the fox's body swelled up hugely.

That's like a balloon, my body just thought it was small, and it swells as I look around.

The fox, more than five times the original spherical shape, had a murderous gaze at us.

You bloated for intimidation like a fugue?

No, you're not. This is how balloon foxes attack.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

The swollen body contracts.

Threw out with the roar were three orange fireballs.

"My lord!

When Gabella could hold me, she flew off the scene.

As a result, the fireball avoided by us crashed into the thin tree that stood behind it.

Explosive flames that wind up as soon as possible.

The bumped trees snap and flame.

The 'luggage' that Gabella severed and left behind in an aggressive manner to avoid - the cocoon surrounding the monster blowing up somewhere after the aftermath of the explosion - was reflected at the edge of her sight.

Raph Rabbit in particular should have had a weight commensurate with the giant. The fact that I could just blow that up in the aftermath made me wonder about the unusual explosive power that was put into the fireball.

"... there was a fox fire."

I heard the story, but it's pretty awesome.

The balloon fox's spitting flames are accompanied by physical shocks.

This is because we are compressing the air and launching it. Fire seems less powerful than Fire Fang's spitting flames, but its power is not simply comparable.

"Don't worry. Not the enemy of the concubine."

Gerbera gave me a comforting word for feeling the threat that was born in my heart.

Her dialogue is the best.

Though about two or three seconds, it wouldn't work for Garbera, such as an attack that requires a prep operation.

I wasn't in position earlier, so I guess I chose to dodge it just in case, but now it should be possible to deal with it before I spit out the fireball.

In fact, if the balloon fox had chosen to attack, she would have smashed this right away.

"Mm?"

But it didn't.

The balloon fox saw the first blow being dodged, or he wrapped his tail around it and ran away.

In a way, it was a brilliant decision.

... Not if you're complimenting me.

"We're getting away!

"I know! Yuku, Lord!

If I remember correctly, the balloon fox, like Fire Fang, would have been the type of monster that would make the herd.

There's a good chance there's a herd ahead of us who escaped.

As we did yesterday against Fire Fang, as we were meeting, we started tracking the escaping balloon fox.
