Monster no Goshujin-sama

Two.

- I started asking if I wanted to go see the stars because I was in middle school with a friend of mine, Kanahiko Tachigi.

In late April, when he had just become a high school student, the observation of the starry sky held by the regional science museum took place in the evening school.

This was part of an event aimed at deepening exchanges at the new school, which took place on Saturday as a stopover for the convenience of observing the night sky. Thirty plus participants and two teachers of the rate. Fortunately, me and Kanahiko were able to participate without leaking into the lottery.

That night, the participants were gathered on the roof of the school. So, let's start by studying the starry sky.

Even from the history of being invited to participate, I wasn't originally as interested in the stars… Rather, the majority of the participants were similar to me or stopping by, but they also knew the other side around, and the explanations for the men of the scholars sent to school were devised and quite interesting.

After that, he actually observed the moon and planets with astronomical telescopes, or looked for objects that were put out as challenges. Shooting a star with a digital camera self timer, a student appeared in the way of a joke and the attention of your eyewitness teacher flew.

Such an unconventional - but sight in the ordinary daily sales.

I wonder why, watching it, I had something to stick up my chest.

I'm supposed to be the first to see the rooftop of a school at night, but I can't help but miss it.

It's the world we live in here. You don't have to bother checking, it should be.... that's supposed to be it, but it shouldn't have been felt so far away.

I was trying not to recall anything, but it's going to overflow by accident.

The thought that was being pushed in with the lid is going to overflow.

... I shouldn't cry.

My deepest understanding was that this dream would easily collapse at a time when I did something I had never done before.

And even if I didn't do that, it was time for this dream to come to an end. From the edge of sight, the world is losing a little bit.

I can't even see the stars anymore.

At that time, a schoolgirl sitting on the roof of the night turned this way.

She was a neat looking girl. That's high school. I remember having a bit of a weird surprise when the participants got together about some of these cute kids. She's in a different class, and she doesn't have any particular contacts, so there won't be any interactions in the future...

And the girl, with her eyes on her, grinned.

Under the moonlight, I had faint hair that looked white - and my vision darkened there.

"Ah, your husband. Are you awake?

The first thing I saw when I woke up was Lily in a uniform sitting on my back sleeping in a bed looking back at this one.

The embedded window of the wooden frame was open, and the whole body of the girl was raised in the dark room by the morning sun that plunged from it. Lightly pigmented flax hair shines through. That was a sight as if it were a single width painting.

"Oh, my lord."

Lily, whose eyes met, smiled with a smile of familiarity.

For a moment that smile seemed to overlap with the sight I saw somewhere someday.

"Hmm? What are you doing?

"No. Something..."

While holding my eyebrows between my eyes, I woke myself up in bed.

"I was having some nostalgic dreams... I felt like"

The ambiguous feeling characteristic of dreams has already been distant. The only thing left on my sleeping heavy head was a strange sense of ready-to-see.

"Dreams? What were you dreaming about?

Lily blinks.

"Bad dreams?

Her outstretched fingertips touched my forehead as she embarked herself with care.

Body temperature just a little low. The plumpness of her body I'm used to.... I laughed small and bitterly, taking it for granted that it was Lily who was here.

"... no. It's not a big deal. Better yet, you're back."

"Oh, yeah. Just now. Now it's called a little pause."

Release your hand from my forehead, and Lily snorted.

"What about everyone else?

"Rose was here until just now, but instead of me returning, she left saying she was going to see Kato's face now. Gabella slept here after she asked me to help her, but I knew she'd just gone. He said he'd come for a walk with you."

"You're walking... are you okay?

"Still worrying."

Lily feels a little frightened and at the same time slows her mouth to a smile.

Aware that I was unconsciously frowning, I was just a little embarrassed.

"It's okay. I'm a little worried about quitting, but I told Gabella to watch it properly."

"Right. No, okay. Thanks."

"Your husband's leaving, isn't he? Then get dressed. I'll get you breakfast."

That said, Lily left the room. In the meantime, I decide to get dressed.

When I took off my sleeping roll and then tried to reach for the garment of the Gabella piece that I had folded and placed, prior to that, the garlic and the parasitic crawl/asalina stretched out of the back of my left hand drew the garment to me.

Gratefully received, I put my arms through my clothes.

When I'm done getting dressed and having breakfast, I'm scheduled to see Silan today. From her, I was going to hear a lot about the current state of the fort.

……

It will be two days before Fort Chile, where more than ten transferees, including me, stayed, was raided by another monster Tamer, a large group of monsters manipulated by Kudo.

After that incident, I rented the one floor of the fort's settlement and stayed at Fort Chile with all my family, including Rose and Gabella.

The room feels extra, even subtracting the sections destroyed to the point of unavailability inside the fort, due to the numerous deaths caused by the recent raid. There was no problem with us using the extra room.

Originally, Fort Chile was manned by Mitsu military organizations from the Imperial South, the Imperial Second Knights and the Allied Third Knights.

Currently, the survival of the fort is about 300 troops from the Imperial South, about fifty Allied Third Knights, and about a hundred non-combatants. The Imperial Second Knights have been wiped out during the betrayal of the Cross, with the exception of the personnel who travelled with Yuna Iino to the depths of the Tree Sea to rescue the survivors of the transferees.

Originally, when it comes to Fort Chile being packed with more than two thousand personnel, you will see how devastating this is.

If it was a human opponent's war, there may have been some surrender before the damage had been done so far. The damage was enormous because it was also a battle with no escape for monster opponents who could not expect it.

On the other hand, with regard to the transferees who were staying in the fort, Tatsuya Cross, who was the main culprit in this case, died. Nine colony residual group students, including Sakami, who was an accomplice, and Yoshiki Watanabe, have died in the expedition.

The only survivors were Kanahiko, Sanoko Taiichi and three of his companions besides me. Yuna Iino hasn't returned from the Tree Sea for a while yet. And it was just Kudo Lu.

- Hey, senior. Why don't you join hands with me?

On that day, I did not respond to the hand of Kudo, my kind.

Because I understood that holding that hand meant throwing away everything I had ever held dear and becoming the same monster as him.

But as he said, he won't give up on me.

I should have seen it again someday.

In what way will he appear before me again, when he disappears, and what will happen to me then? That was unthinkable to me now.

"What is it, your husband?

When I realized, Lily was coming back to my room.

The basin in my hand is ridden with something like porridge with boiled root vegetables and dried meat, which I guess is cooked out.

Lily turned a strange eye to this one as she placed it on a round table placed at the window. So I realized that my hand was stopped.

"Ah, oh. I was a little confused."

Deluded and laughed, I sank my vague anxiety about the future into the back of my chest.

When I got dressed quickly, I hung myself in a chair opposite Lily.

Breakfast for one in front of you. Tilt your neck.

"Don't you eat Lily?

"Already. Sleeping down, your husband? I've already eaten enough. I told you I was back with a little pause."

Pong and Lily gently slapped themselves in the stomach.

I lowered my gaze unexpectedly and strayed quickly. Though intimate friends, the other person is a woman. It's not something that I look too flimsy about.

"Speaking of which, you did.... How is the process progressing?

"Hmm. I've been hanging from yesterday to today, and I wonder if it's roughly 30%."

Between last night and this morning, Rose took care of my escort, and Lily left me.

It was because I entrusted her with the only job I could do.

Fort Chile has survived an unsolicited crisis, but survival is being pursued for post-processing without time to rest.

The upper ranks of the army, who kept the fort, have been blown away by the magic of the cross that manifested their true nature, as in the example counter-attack operation in which they participated in deviation from merit, collectively entering the register. Crumbly, the Allied Knights Commander is now in charge of survival and proceeding with post-processing, but the biggest problem among them was the frightening number of war dead.

The land pattern of a tree sea rich in magic, if left alone, this vast number of war dead will be monstered as ghouls. If we did not deal with it as soon as possible within a few days, it was even possible that Fort Chile, which had survived the crisis because of it, would be eaten and torn from the inside out by the deceased.

Of course, bodies left unattended, even if not, can rot and cause plague. So, first of all, your disposition was a priority, but not all human remains are left behind. A large number of monsters that had been pushing against the fort had also exposed their bodies there in the fort.

As for this one, I was offering my cooperation to the Knights.

There are many reasons why we were in charge of this task, but one of them was what Kudo said.

In this world, you can gain magic if you defeat things that have magic, not just monsters. Kudo said that eating that meat rather than just killing it would gain more magic more efficiently.

In fact, for that reason Kudo had recovered the body of a metastasized man with enormous magic.

Naturally, it's just a law that fits in when it comes to monsters.

In this sense, it was of sufficient benefit to us to dispose of the corpses of monsters rolling into the fort.

In that regard, I cannot wait to argue that it is Lily who has the greatest aptitude.

She is slime. Its properties lie in predation. Earlier I was rubbing my stomach in a pose, but there is no limit to how much she eats, which is an amorphous organism, called stomach. Finally, she's Mimic Slime. It can be simulated on predatory monsters to gain abilities.

That's why I asked Lily to handle the monster.

By the way, I asked Gabella to transport the monster's body to Lily's room. That she went out for a morning walk must have been one more paragraph of her work.

"But 30%? That's a better pace than I thought."

"Sometimes they digest fast because they prioritize rotting over time."

"I see."

I also hung out with Lily on her way to work yesterday. I nodded, thinking of the various monsters I saw in the meantime in my brain.

Two days ago, priority was given to dealing with crosswords with cheats, and we avoided fighting monsters as much as possible, so we did not engage, but Mad Golem, a mud doll about a meter tall, said to be a monster with no biological system, as well as a dark red polyhedral collective Fire Elemental, and others, such as Steel Ant, a large ant with a metallic outer shell, and a giant Land Turtle Armored Tortoise.

The ability to digest and absorb slime, if I may say so, is one of its properties as a monster using magic. Most things can be digested. But there's really something called compatibility, and some things take a lot of time.

"We can still handle it in a few days."

"Right. Then stay focused for a while. It's gonna be tough because of the numbers..."

"Yeah. It's not that hard. Even for me, it's the first experience I've ever had in my life that I could eat so much. Rather than......"

Pelli and Lilli licked their lips. The red tongue glosses.

I accidentally stiffened the spoon that carried the porridge into my mouth.

"... you know, your husband"

The smile Lily floated with the call had some luster.

"I am, see, not slime? You eat slime, you grow up, you split."

"Oh. Right.... but what's wrong with that? Or Lily. What's wrong with you? Something's going on..."

Lily right now is kind of oddly colorful.

Said Lily to me, waving her blanket.

"Yeah, I don't care. I'm normal. Yes, this is normal... because eating is more. To increase is to reproduce."

……

Does that mean that Lily's ecology as a slime also affects the nature of the girl acquired by fiction?

Lily, with her hips up, comes up.

The blushing poor face approached.

The extended fingertips touch the cheeks. The girl's sweet smell incenses on her nose tip. The sweet crossing of personal spaces was only allowed for two special people.

"Hey, my husband..."

I breathed in Lily with a melting grin at close range.

"... what are you going to do in the morning"

- With my left hand finger, I played Lily's forehead.

"Yan."

Lily, who was riding herself out, holds her forehead and returns to her seat.

I half-eyed at her like that.

"We're going to Siran's today. You don't have time for this."

"Yes......"

Lily replies with her forehead held down, disobediently stuck at the table.

I was stroking down my chest as I looked down at her defenseless tricks.

... It was dangerous. I almost got flushed.

What scares me is that I'm somewhere in my heart that I'm sorry I didn't get flushed.

If you keep doing this, the spark in your chest may burn up again from the ground up.

I scratched in the breakfast where there were only a few left, and took my seat.

"Look, let's go"

"Mm, roger.... Hey, your husband?

Lily, who listened unexpectedly and honestly, looked up at me only with her eyes moving, leaving her torso at the table without standing up.

And she said unto me, What shall I say?

"If you have any anxiety, you can always lean on me, okay?

……

So I realized.

To the fact that while I was interacting with Lily without any other love, the feeling that I was anxious to remember Kudo was fading.

"Lily, you..."

Seeing me stiff, Lily smiled fluffly.

Don't be hostile, it was a smile that made me honestly think so. I scratched my head.

"... Okay, I get it"

Give Lily a hand to sit down.

Lily, with a deeper grin, took her hand and stood up.

But I won't stop there. Because I think it would be unbalanced if they didn't do it forever.

I drew her even harder.

"Wow."

He didn't expect this, and besides his thoughts, he was able to catch Lily easily.

Hold her still, my dear.

Immerse yourself in sweet body temperature and comfortable softness.

I let her be sweet for just two seconds, and I let her go.

That was all that was lightening my mind. I know it's a simple thing, but it never seems like a bad thing.

"Well. Time to go"

"Yeah."

They smiled at each other, and we took them and left the room.
