Monster no Goshujin-sama

Fourteen.

The route across the Kittles Mountains is steep.

To minimize the high and low differences between the roads, the roads are serpentine as they circle around the mountains, multiplying the journey by many times the straight distance.

Still, depending on the location, the gradient grew without killing out, and the cars using the magic we also use did not have enough horsepower, and there were few places where we had to get down and push.

Speaking of salvation, is it a remnant that was developed during the war years between empires and allies, or is it about the extent to which the road is secured?

I just made it, so much so that the road is blocked by fallen trees. There were places where trees were eroded, and when they were poorly done, there were many places where roads had been dimensioned over the years due to landslides and so on.

If this is on foot, worst of all, I can take the means to go through the mountains to leave my family to their physical strength, but not by car either.

I wish it was a detour, but I wouldn't have a hard time if such a convenient thing were.

It is also difficult to take away the means of throwing the car away.

Because we're in a rental car, and even if we're not, if we go through this mountain road, some of us have to hide ourselves in the car again.

If this is about the world we were in, we might not have turned back.

On that day we went to the dimension of the mountain path, which we did not know several times after entering the mountain.

I think we fell together when the road collapsed, and if you look at the trees rolling on the slopes, they rot and the contents are hollow, the surfaces moss and slightly toxic colored mushrooms grow.

It must have collapsed a long time ago and left nothing to be repaired.

If there are few people who use it, it makes sense to save time in servicing it.

In order to get through, minimal repairs were needed.

"Lord Lily. We're done checking forward."

Silan, who had extended his legs to the end of one path, rushed back.

After entering the mountain path, she again wore the armor of the Allied Knights, with such a frivolous impression that she stood her feet on the other side of the dimensioned path.

"As always, there's no sign of people. You can always go."

I've never been different from anyone before, but it doesn't mean this is a completely unused road.

In other words, if you do something that you have to worry about, you have to keep in mind.

Listening to Silan's words, Lily stood up looking at the ground that had collapsed on one knee.

"Okay, I'll be there."

Lily stretched her right hand all the way forward.

At its fingertips, a yellow magic formation unfolds.

Soil magic on the second staircase. - One of the two attribute magic Lily gained by preying massively on monsters at Fort Chillia.

Spills and soil flourish on the road surface, dimensioned by landslides.

Repeating the same magic several times made Lily try to brilliantly fill the ground that had been decided.

The soil magic Lily has mastered is very user-friendly in these situations.

Even on the journey to this point, Lily had a new magic practice, working to get the trees out of the way and make easy repairs to the perforated pavement.

There's just one problem.

That meant that technically advanced work could not be done on repairs to road surfaces caused by Lily's earthly magic.

Because you are too skilled, or that is why you cannot cleverly handle earthly magic in these applications unless you are a wizard specializing in civil work.

To the military, for example, a professional wizard is said to belong as much as a task force.

In Lily's case, even if we can magically raise the soil and fill the dimensioned road surface, we can't create a hard ground as even as we were originally.

On less decompromising ground, you can't run a car that envisages operating on a flat ground, and if you can't, your body could be damaged.

Nevertheless, we are a team.

If one force is not enough, others can help.

Thanks to Lily, the road is already clear.

There are no obstacles such as trees, and there are scaffoldings that are needed.

Simply not for car traffic, that's all.

"Bye, Gabella. And then say hello."

"Uhm."

Gerbera nodded, turning back once, stretching her eight legs to secure the scaffold.

Both hands stretched out to the car grabbed the protective plate provided on the front for mugging.

There was a noise of the body rattling.

Now he didn't look like he was putting any effort into it, and Gabella was holding up the body of the car.

Although it is a suspicious sight to haribote, the fact that a well-built car weighs as much as it looks is evidenced by the sound of a body that weighs heavily on itself, even though Rose has pre-reinforced it.

I remember the picture I saw in the drawings when I was a child showing 'Ants Can Hold Up Something Many Times Weight Than Their Bodies'.

In front of my eyes, thinking about spiders, etc., and the lack of other love, Gabella, who held the car up, walked out with caution.

Gabella's multiple legs do not lose stability even on the decompromising ground.

Cars are also transported with unusually smooth horizontal travel, with minimal upward and downward movement.

Gabella's physical abilities are unparalleled, such as those of humans.

Even a sense of balance is excellent.

With the number of times, some parts of the transport work were improving, and there were no shards to jeopardize.

"... but carrying a vehicle is also a bit of a falling picture."

"Sure. Perhaps so."

Kato giggles when she hears my crush.

Rose, who was watching the situation next to it, called out to Gabella.

"Gabella. Leaning slightly to the right. Be careful."

"Oh, roger. But Lord Rose's hand is on it. I don't think it's going to break."

"Yeah. As long as you don't get distracted, it's true that it's not a task that involves those dangers. … but if it's less burdensome, I've never been over it"

"Hmm. I wonder if that's the case, too"

Garbera grinned and nodded at Rose's advice thrown from under the mask.

Gabella, who is probably a little out of it, and Rose, who is serious and a few books.

I noticed recently that these two seem to be unbalanced and not surprisingly incompatible.

Without rocking the load, the guide and cleverly giggling Gabella turned her gaze all the way up.

"Let's be careful. I mean, there's Kay."

"I trust Mr. Gabella."

From inside the car, the girl's voice returned.

A childish and bright voice.

"What about the view from there?

"It's kind of weird. But it's fresh."

"If you're having fun, more than anything."

Kay remained in Gabella's lifting car.

This was what Gabella said.

A troublesome task is an instant attraction. A fun atmosphere is propagating, and even this one doesn't get bored watching it.

... Now we are being routinely dealt with gradually, and we can afford to make time for these 'plays', but at the beginning of the climb, we were stuck on a bad road and it was quite difficult.

To be honest, from the experience I've had traveling through the tree seas, there was a bit of a sweet look at my journey in the mountains.

On poorly maintained mountain roads, in the end, the majority of the journey was to be carried by Gabella in tow.

Doing so allowed humans to stay in the car because the shaking was so terrible, although it could be transported.

As I descended and walked, the staggering gradient took my strength surprisingly.

As much as I had learned how to handle magic since I came to this world, and Kay, a young but knightly apprentice, Kato, the least able-bodied of these, was sometimes held up and traveled by Rose.

In some cases, the car was stopped for hours to secure as many roads as it could pass.

The car repeatedly changed the blood phase, or the wheel broke and it took half a day to repair it.

Occasionally encountered monsters, in addition to the threat of raids on narrow mountain roads themselves, must be protected from damage to cars and roads during battle.

Because it was not a quick journey, it was moving slowly and, if you noticed, nearly ten days had passed.

If the story of the village chief in Pioneering Village is correct, it should be time to hit the tributary of the Araria River held by the Kittles Mountains.

So the itinerary is finally halfway there.

I'm getting used to the trouble on the mountain road, and the other half will be able to digest a little faster.

We were able to replenish it in the last pioneering village, so we can still afford food.

Nothing, we're going to be able to cross the mountain path like this.

That's what I thought.

It was the next day that I found out that was a mistake.

Disturbing signs are apparently something you can feel, even if you were asleep.

morning. As I held up my heavy eyelids, my swinging red eyes peered into this one.

……

It's not Lily.

It is common for me to see her as soon as I wake up, but most of the time, it is when I wake up hugging her.

Sometimes I don't sleep well, and I can grasp that I'm holding the body of a girl who's just a little low in temperature in a long dream time there.

Therefore, I am not surprised that there is a dear girl in front of me.

But it wasn't this morning.

Without any foretaste, at close range, even the goddess had a beauty that seemed to escape barefoot.

The look on her face, which was swinging, froze at the moment when she and I were awake.

I thought that was just a little weird - oh, you're like her, and I felt like I was running away from reality.

"Oh, ugh..."

The girl exhales her breath swallowed with surprise, with groans.

My skin is thin and sensitive around my mouth, exhaled and tickled.

The feeling was switched on and my consciousness, which had stopped, was reactivated.

"... what are you doing, Gabella?

The white spider was stiff in the same position as I was in bed.

The girl's upper body was about to be touched by one hand around my chest, and the other hand was about to be clapped against my cheek.

A dazzling bright white hair drooped in my eyes, and a room entered my chest, inexorably into my clothes.

The legs stretching from the spider on the lower body stand on the ground next to my head, one left and one right, supporting the body of the girl with the forehead.

Come on, I was just saying I'm going to take my lips off you.

"No, Lord."

Gabella, who was frozen, held her mouth.

"No, what?

I think there's no excuse for this.

In response to my question, Gabella answered somewhat quickly.

"Well, the concubine put up with it."

He put up with it.

I don't know what. Even if you answer me, I'm in trouble.

"With eyes on the Lord's Palace, which rests easily, in two circumstances, long after dawn. Isn't this amazing?"

From the white addition and subtraction of the sky, did I just say that it is now an hour since dawn?

All that time, I never get tired of it, and I confess that I was looking at my face, but they don't realize it.

Furthermore, the confession continues.

"So, if you're watching me, you're gonna be so depressed. When I found out, I saw the Lord's face in front of me... oh, I didn't mean to. I was not about to attack the Lord's sleep, never. I don't know if I could just take my lips off like this... but I might have been a little paranoid."

"Oh. That's good enough. I was able to get an idea of how it was going."

I stopped talking about Gabella there.

... step by step, because this one I'm asking is starting to embarrass me.

"For now, get away from me"

"Ah, um. Sorry."

Gabella slipped herself a little.

So now I know just a little bit about what's going on around me.

It was only early in the morning.

The only ones nearby are Kay and Kato, the rest of us are not nearby, just Ayama's sleeping breath.

The only thing that woke me up when I noticed the interaction between me and Gabella. Quit, lifting her nose, moved her nose a tingle, but said, "No. It's not breakfast yet," he said again, falling asleep.

"What happened to Lily and the others?

"Not long ago Lord Lily asked his concubine about the Lord's Hall to go where Lord Rose was doing his work. Silan was no longer around when his concubine woke up, but Lord Lily told me he was going around."

"... right"

I frowned a little.

Lily is probably practicing her new bodily fiction again.

Totally she's stuck. I was worried I wasn't packing too many roots.

She belongs to a highly vital category of monsters, Slime, but even though I know she does, she's an important girl to me. I'm really worried about you.

I was a little concerned about Silan because there are things he's been working too hard on.

Nevertheless, as for this one, it also seems a little calm these days.

Shortly after leaving Serratta, he was in a glaring position to jump out first if he saw a monster, but since entering this mountain path, he has given way to Gabella, who has lost his eyes and is free to move.

I know you need to follow through because you're not likely to be able to do it when you take your eyes off it, but it would be better for Lily to hit you in the hand for now.

Look at the time of year, it looks like Lily needs to speak up again.

... No. Before that, Gabella?

"You know, Gabella"

"Hey, what's up, Lord?"

I spilled a bitter laugh at Gabella, who looked like a failed child.

"Don't be so surprised because I'm not mad at you."

When I was blind and relaxed, the sleeping figure of the imaginary was right beside me, and I finally looked at it - it wouldn't be like being blamed for being a girl of my age.

I don't feel bad that I'm such a target for Gabella.

It's also a garbella story that, while doing so, I accidentally followed and fluttered closer.

I just did that, and in the end, she kept the last line, and although I was a little shy, it wasn't like being angry.

"... but it would be helpful to have only the yarn recovered"

"Yarn?"

When I said it, Gabella tilted her neck with stiffness.

And I dropped my gaze on my body, the direction I showed with my eyes - that I was now covered.

……

It was the spider's thread wrapped around my body that reflected in her red eyes.

Now, I can't move properly.

Earlier, I was in complete captivity.

"Huh!?

Gabella gave an odd voice.

He still didn't realize. I thought not.

"Shh, I'm sorry. This is unconscious or instinctive, I didn't mean to do it..."

"Like I said, you don't have to apologize because you're not mad"

I laughed bitterly at how obsessed I was with them and how itchy I felt.

"Just be careful this time. The same goes for spider threads, but also for waking up."

After watching over me, Gabella reached out to untie me.

"Oh, because it's what lovers do to each other."

- That fingertip stopped with a tremor.

"... between lovers?

A small twinkle spilled off the girl's lips.

Instead, I frowned as I thought.

"Gabella?"

I leaned my neck.

Because her hand, trying to break the thread that binds me, was stopped.

"... it's also unusual to think of a time when you two can talk. Hmm. This could be a good opportunity."

No. To be precise, it was only for a moment that I stopped.

"Tell others something great like, 'Why doesn't the Lord tell you how he feels', and there's no taking care of him if he misses an opportunity in the corner.... Okay."

Something nodded, and Gabella was tempered.

The red eye turned to me.

And when I thought, a terrible big spider was coming at me.

"... Huh?

I was distracted, so they totally poked me in the void.

I was in captivity, and I'm even sealed to flee reflexively.

When I realized it, my stretched supple arm was spinning around my neck.

On the left half of his face, he had a smooth fabric feel.

Tension and elastic puffiness on the other side received me.

It is the chest of a wide open white garment that is photographed in the field of vision.

A deep valley of fine skin was at a breathtaking distance.

"Become...!?

The moment I understand what part of the girl I'm pushing my face against, I get a big heartbeat.

Even if it is unintentional, it is enough. In an instant, my throat dried up.

"... the Lord."

And chase.

Cutting calls lick your ears.

My chest is crushed by the weight of the thoughts I hold, and my plundering voice squeezes out.

No, in the girl's voice, Gabella said.

"Hey, Lord. My concubine, I don't know much about humans. I don't understand its weakness or the strength of its back-to-back alignment.... um. I don't know. I don't know. That's all, 'I know exactly what I'm talking about'."

Beyond the puffiness that pushed him to change his heels, the heartbeat of a fast paced Gabella came through.

She seems nervous, too. Or are you excited? I heard chisels and spider legs squealing.

"Fundamentally, I guess concubines are like beasts. So again, in a beastly way, in my own words, I just have to tell them. Yes, the concubine thinks."

"Tell... what?

When I heard the inquiry I had finally put into my mouth, Gabella put a lot of strength into my arms, holding my head.

"The concubine, Lord. I want you to remain the same, and I want to catch you in this hand."

"... eh"

Unexpectedly, I breathed.

Because what had to be done was included in her words.

Of course, I have noticed the favor she has for me long ago - since I was in that Arakune nest.

We have a path between us, and even if we don't have one, if we look at our usual attitude with no shards to hide, her thoughts are obvious. That's what I've been told before, even when they say they want to catch me.

But this wasn't the other way around.

"The concubine wants to overthrow the Lord"

Naked, blurry, straight... because this is a gabella, confessional complaint.

"I would ask the Lord, if possible, to respond to the thoughts of the concubine"

He called himself a beast, Gabella said.

Yeah, maybe that's true.

But at the same time, Gabella is a girl.

It's also extraordinarily fascinating.

... for example, if you held her back here.

You won't be able to hold your teeth to your feelings anymore, enough to convince me.

"In a concubine, can't you?

Just a few moments away, Gabella looks down on me.

"Gabella......"

I'm fascinated by the bloody eyes that moisten me like I'm floating in a fever.

The feeling of being in your dreams, like reason has evaporated, is paralysing your whole body.

An anxious twitch passes from the body of a tight girl.

The ears have spider legs ringing, the sound of a chisel.

Dangerous, soft. The smell of a girl, rising from the skin touching the tip of her nose.

"If you can't, give me proof. If the Lord will hold me back, the concubine..."

To be heard in such a situation, my reason is also provoked by words that are too enthusiastic -...

- Gah, gah, the sound of a wheel hitting a rough road surface was tapping his ear intermittently.

We were going down a mountain path that was made to wind up on the edge of the mountain.

On the right hand side is a cut cliff wall. The exfoliated stratigraphic surface is brittle and has already been hit twice since this morning, where the road has collapsed.

On the left hand side of the road, a fast flowing river was seen beneath the steep slopes.

The great river in the centre of the continent, the Araria, boasts a vast basin area.

The Kittles Mountains, which we are trying to cross, also have tributaries of the Araria River. The gorge that appeared before us must have been one of them.

From what I hear, going all the way downstream down the river that flows out of the Kittles Mountains, it joins several other tributaries, while hitting the coma forest, on the border between our destination, Akel, a small country, and Count Long territory to the north of it.

The stunned forest, a slice of the leftover tree sea, is invariably home to powerful monsters because of its history of establishment.

Downstream of this river is the territory of an epic monster called The Wrath of the Earth.

If you sit back on Akel, you might even have a chance to visit.

With that in mind, Lily, who was walking with me, spoke to me with a slightly restrained voice.

"Hey, husband"

The gaze is not for this one.

We cared more about the cars moving further behind our other companions.

"Gabella's so depressed, what's going on?

"... that there was or was not"

I gave it back vaguely, and I looked back.

Garbera was walking along the mountain path, pulling a handlebar like a rickshaw, which Rose optionally attached to our car.

Yeah, I can tell right away that this is serious.

I scratched my cheek.

After all, there was nothing between me and Gabella.

If we hadn't kissed each other, we wouldn't even be hugging each other.

- If you can't, give me proof. If the Lord holds me back, the concubine...

Moved by such Gabella's passionate wishes, I tried to hold her back.

But I couldn't.

I couldn't do it.

... It was physically impossible because both hands were bound by spider threads.

I didn't tell you that I couldn't do it without removing the thread. I told you that I couldn't resist the air that flowed between me.

Somehow, oh, I'm sure the atmosphere matters.

Once you return it to me, it's hard to go on.

"How can a concubine be a concubine like this..." said Gabella, who was struck, lamenting something somewhat philosophical.

Really, all I can say is why not.

Most of all, if you think you've got a good chance, it's like a gabella story to pretend it's a good place.

"I can almost imagine what happened when I saw the two of you."

Lily peered into my face as I was remembering about what happened this morning.

"Oh, and Gabella's depressed, does that mean it was the other way around, a shame?

……

Speak of what this one will do.

So Lily's expression was calm.

"I know you don't have to tell me, but take it right, my lord."

Regardless of the specifics, Lily really seemed to know what had happened. You mean the woman is sharp, even with the help of a pass? Or is it too easy for me or Gabella to understand?

"... is Lily good with that?

"Hmm, I know what your husband wants to say. But that's out of focus."

Lily looked troubled when I asked.

"I'm not a person in your husband's world... on the contrary, if you try to be us who aren't even human, it's not dishonest or anything. In the first place, each of us is your husband's family, but your husband is everyone's master. Because I have Miho Mizushima's memories, and the other kids don't even know what your husband cares about."

"But you know Lily, right?

"I can understand that. But don't you feel it? It's only Miho Mizushima's values, not mine."

In a clear tone, Lily shrugged her shoulders.

"Of course, I know your husband isn't the type to switch all the time. So, honestly, there's something I've been worried about.... but I wonder if it seems okay for this minute. If it's a shame you've come so far, you're almost there."

What Lily said was the best.

In this case, I felt that if I responded to Gabella's favor at all, that would be a decisive hit.

That's about it, I'm attracted to her presence.

Gabella's confession, which ran into me in the shortest possible time from the front, was only destructive enough to make me aware of it. I cannot now turn a blind eye to the fact that I learned that way.

Lily smiled when she glanced at me who gave her a small roar.

"Ugh. Gabella is straight. I'm clumsy and I can't get around, but that's probably why that kid gets to his destination fastest. I'm sure what she did will help your husband when it comes to trouble. It's a different part of arm strength."

And Lily snapped pompously.

"Now I wonder if I can be relieved"

……

It was a statement I'm not sure about.

I laid eyes on Lily's side.

There was a transparent grin.

I've seen it somewhere, I thought, I remembered.

Accommodation town near Serratta. In the rented house, the smile she showed and it was the same thing.

Don't miss it, I thought intuitively.

But things roll in a direction that doesn't come to my mind either.

"What do you mean...?

I asked, it was precisely at that moment.

"Huh!"

The look on Lily's face I was looking at before turned into something hard.

At the same time, there was noise coming from the front.

"... eh"

The switch of thought was a moment.

Though I have begun to get used to it, mountain roads are often dangerous.

For example, a landslide. Alternatively, a monster raid.

In order to be able to cope in any case, I was originally always nervous.

Get an idea of the situation as soon as you can.

Where the noise came from, it was in front of us. Not a few meters away.

Along with the sound of things too abrupt, signs were being created there.

I didn't realize until this moment that something was approaching.

In other words, they approached me hiding the signs so they wouldn't be noticed.

I can't expect the purpose to be moderate.

If so, the response is decided. We didn't even have to speak to each other.

Lily stands in front of me and protects me.

I myself reached for the pattern of my sword, trying to retreat quickly.

"Finally, I caught up"

- When I heard a voice thrown from the front, I realized that my judgment was partly correct and also partly wrong.

What was right was that 'the purpose is not moderate'.

With animosity, 'she' blocked my way.

What was wrong was that 'I came close hiding the signs'.

She didn't do that.

I don't need that. She is a strong man. I wouldn't imitate such a sigh, and I wouldn't even think of it.

She blocked our way. That's just it.

Except for the speed range that suddenly appeared there, the speed at which only she could exist, until she did it.

"... Yona Iino"

Yuna Iino, the fastest girl on the expedition, was there.
