Monster no Goshujin-sama

Eight.

Before the sun went down, we decided to return to the cave that we had previously made a mess of.

Lily and Rose, the main forces of battle, have a good night's eye.... or Rose doesn't have a sensory organ similar to an eye, but we humans don't.

If the sun goes down and it gets dark, you should think that even the danger of going through the woods with poor prospects jumps.

It is troubling to be too afraid of risks to move, but avoidable dangers should be avoided.

When we returned to the cave for these reasons, we immediately began to prepare our meals.

Today's dinner is a little extravagant.

Anyway, I got a whole bunch of wolf meat over two meters long.

I leave a series of treatments starting with blood draining to Rose as soon as I kill them, so all I have to do is cut them up and bake them well.

The cave is filled with the smell of meat burning.

I accidentally swallowed my spit.

And as a result.

"Uh..."

Betrayed.

That was the honest feeling.

Honestly, I was hoping.

This is already hard and shitty like rubber.

I didn't eat it.

I've heard of carnivorous meat somewhere, but this doesn't even seem to be on that level. It's a level where I feel like I'm handling it wrong.

I don't know what's wrong though.

I didn't even know I was bleeding, so naturally, I don't know how to make this taste better.

Knowledge of the handling of the hunted prey in the first place is also something that Lily has dug out from Miho Mizushima's memories that she read in a book or something.

Maybe it was bad that it was monster meat.

It was well established that modern Japanese butcher companies are excellent.

Well, although we ended up with unfortunate results in terms of flavor, nevertheless, it's big that we got so many protein sources.

I have tasted a great deal of fullness for a long time.

Lily doesn't feel bad in the first place, or she's cheeky with delight.

Kato was also eating to stick it in the back of his throat without complaining about the stiff and bad meat.

"Excuse me.... first, excuse me"

Were you tired, Mr. Kato fell asleep as soon as he took his meal.

"You were too tired."

In a slightly more indentation than the entrance to the cave, Mr. Kato is smaller, twisting from the bed that was in that mountain hut into a sheet that could be peeled off.

I hear a restful breath from her, who sleeps once in a small sleep.

The slightly younger appearance didn't make her any different from me.

I'm a little tired too.

It's time to sleep today.

With that in mind, I somehow try to move into a fixed position where I always sleep in this cave.

Then Lily, who let go of her arm all the way, got ahead of me on a small run.

Looking back, she returned to slime appearance only in her lower body and offered her both hands.

"Go ahead, my lord"

It was still a surreal sight.

But this is my routine now.

"Lily. Kato..."

"I'm fine, I sleep a lot."

Lily is right, and Kato is sleeping comfortably.

Does it look okay?

In the first place, Lily's identity doesn't mean anything has to be hidden through her.

Because I was hiding it, just in case.

It was a stash as an ambush to cut for a time of need.

And I know that's not necessary.

At the end of the day, I was generally able to grasp Mr. Kato's condition.

After all, I don't have the strength to do anything to her.

He just followed us quietly as he was told and seemed to watch the robot move his legs.

I wouldn't call it nukegara, but it seems close to it.

And... yeah.

What was it?

There must have been other reasons, but my head didn't work well.

Anyway, I can't help but sleep.

I didn't know that being full was something that would give me a feeling so full.

I stopped arguing and sat down next to Lily 'growing'.

There was a feeling of tiredness twitching and falling out of the atmosphere around my back. Unexpectedly, fluff, and a distracted exhale leaked.

"Master, are you sleepy?

"Oh......"

Reply, I lean on Lily's luxurious body.

"Your husband's not surprisingly good at sleeping. I woke you up a couple of times this morning, didn't I?

"... yeah, oh yeah"

"Something, my husband, cute"

I said it in a somewhat happy voice, and Lily has teased her arms in her arms.

By the way, the jersey Lily is wearing was seized from a boy student in one case last night, so naturally, I don't wear underwear all the way up and down.

For this reason, happy elasticity deflects and bounces on both arms.

A man, not just me, wouldn't hate this.

It's a retarded story, but I even felt like I could get tired.

The two of us on the couch, feeling like we were leaning on each other, I left myself to a relaxing passage of time for a while.

"... hmm? What's that building, Rose?

My blurry thought of falling asleep like this today was distracted by Fuji Rose's hand.

Rose is still scraping trees near the bonfire as she falls asleep today as is Lily.

The creation of weapons and protective equipment is what I am offering her.

Looking back at today's battle, without the great shield I had her build, I would have been badly injured or, worst of all, dead. Plain, but her role is huge.

What Rose was about to cut down from the wood seemed a little different from weapons and protective equipment.

Rose, who was asked by me, seemed to be patrolling something.

It was hard to tell because the expression wasn't anything, but she did hesitate to make a move and answer my question.

But Rose, my family, has no choice but not to live up to my demands.

When Rose came to me, she fell on one knee on the ground and finally offered what she had been scraping from earlier.

"I'm sorry if I got in the way of your work. So, this is... yeah."

I repeated it once, checked the whole thing, and then I leaned my neck.

"Is that your arm?

It is still coarsely shredded, but that is probably because it is in the process of being manufactured.

It was clearly a human body part with the characteristics of a human arm.

I was confused because I didn't know why Rose was building something like that.

As I leaned my neck, Rose offered me her own arm.

I looked casually at my offered arm.

The incendiary flames are fluttering red, illuminating her slightly glossy wooden arms.

stiff.

"Oh, that...... Huh!

Wooden arm tip.

One of Rose's fingers was carbide.

"Is it time to fight Fire Fang today!?

I was blowing up drowsiness all at once.

"Oh, shit. I had no idea."

I held my head in one hand.

I'm pissed off that I'm out of it.

"... and I mean, you. You were hiding it, weren't you?

An awkward consciousness is transmitted through the path.

It looked like a picture star.

"Not at all."

And We breathed out the air in our breasts, great and at once, with anger.

I don't think he has a choice, but he can't scold me for her head.

Rose would have kept her mouth shut if she cared about me.

Not to mention that the anger I'm feeling right now is directed at myself more than half of it is impudent.

You can't hit eight.

If you think about the rest of it, you might need to keep an eye on her.

But more than that, there will be something else I have to check first now.

"Can't Lily's magic do something about it?

"Because my restorative magic is at most three staircases. You can't even heal a site defect."

"Was the restoration of site defects a special category, even the restoration magic of the five staircases"

I was also familiar with nature and magic because I had a nerdy friend who spoke fervently about cheat abilities.... I've never even remembered, is he doing well? Even if we do, it doesn't seem like we can talk like idiots before.

"Right. So was Rose making a prosthetic hand?"

Then I'm convinced.

I thought, to this dialogue of mine, Rose shook her neck to the side to deny it.

"What do you mean?

You didn't think it was obvious, Rose received her arm from me.

Explain it, or they're going to give me a demonstration.

Rose puts her arm on the ground once I watch over her.

Then, when part of the tip removes his own arm, which has been burned black, from the elbow part, Rose sticks his freshly made arm instead.

The sound of the stirrups and parts fitting into each other echoes into the cave.

My fingertips, still dressed in disguise, moved perfectly.

"... is!?

Slightly immobile, either because I just replaced it, or because my arm was still in the process of being manufactured.

But it does work.

Let him do the right thing, and then Rose put it on his original arm. Of course, this one is moving smoothly the way it was.

"Hey, can you replace it? Your arms, your legs?

This surprised me.

It's convenient. I thought it was convenient, but I didn't think I could even do this.

It seems simple structure, but what the hell is going on?

... No, you don't.

Rather because it's simple, huh?

Originally, Rose's body was a wooden doll, and it couldn't have moved on its own.

What makes it possible is probably the strange power the monster has - namely, magic.

Then it's not weird to do something that I just put on my new arm and move it just like my original arm.

Rose kept her mouth shut about her injuries because she could handle them herself.

But I can't help but be surprised at this.

"Rose, I'm going to give you one order."

I turned to Rose.

"From now on, aside from weapons, make spares for your own hands and feet.... No, give priority to that one. If possible, it is always better to keep the spare"

Rose never refused my order.

Immediately, the will to understand comes through the path.

But at the same time, a slight suspicion was spreading in her, and the spiritual connection between us was telling.

"Is it that strange that you were told to keep your own arms and feet?

Rose nods at my inquiry.

They really don't know.

I almost sighed.

If she really doesn't understand my intentions, what does it say... it hurts.

I think it's sad, and I feel a certain responsibility.

They also conveyed my emotions again, and I could feel signs of upset in Rose.

"I'll tell you what, 'cause I can quickly recover when I lose my hands and feet in battle' isn't the reason. I'm not saying it doesn't either."

I don't know more and more, Rose is completely frozen.

It was troublesome.

How can I tell it?

To her who will do everything she can to keep me healthy.

I thought a little bit, picked a word, and then realized there was an easier way.

"Hey, Rose."

I took Rose's wooden hand and stroked her burnt fingers.

That's what she lost for me.

Even if we go back to where we came from, it doesn't change the value of what she paid for.

"It may be hard to understand, but I think I'm as dear to you as Lily is to you"

The only people I can trust are Lily and Rose in this world.

Families may increase from now on, but that doesn't make them less valuable.

"Work your own body if you can. This is not an order. Please do me a favor."

It may only be a mere deception to say this more than I seek to fight.

But this is who I am.

Rose had made a move like she had just gone back to being a doll.

I thought, in a few seconds I stood back from stiffness, kneeling on the spot and drooling my head deeply.

My fingertips went away, and only a warm, unique feeling remained in me.

"Give me your head, Rose. If you understand, that's fine."

Though I was feeling thin, Lily and Rose have a slightly different stance on me, even in the same family.

Lily is pretty Frank.

The tone is the same, but so is the attitude.

This must have been because I wanted a place to rest my heart.

I am so healed by her now.

Perhaps it was at that point that Lily clearly gained that role by preying on Miho Mizushima's body and gaining the power to simulate it on humans.

So, how's Rose's mental structure?

This again seems quite different from Lily.

That is, honest and rigorous.

You're a samurai type, you do your job silently, something like that.

Even today, for example, it is.

He took the lead in doing the gloomy work that everyone hated in front of those students' bodies.

The problem with feelings, of course, was that if you accidentally touched a corpse that had progressed of corruption, you could have been infected with an illness of a poor nature.

It is assumed that Lily didn't let her get her hands on me because she has many opportunities to make contact with me.

As a result, she served as a dirty man alone.

Come to think of it, even today, only one person is injured losing one finger.

- Loyalty of self-sacrifice.

The essence of Rose is that.

If Lily is the healing of my heart, would Rose be more specifically here to eliminate this danger?

In other words, is Rose responding to my desire to gain peace of mind in this harsh world?

When I look at her, I don't think so.

If that's what's right...... no, even if it isn't.

The shadows tend to diminish because I do not claim myself, but I must not forget her devotion.

We must reward her for her devotion.

No, I think I want to reward her myself.

"I wish I could have talked to you."

I want to hear it from that mouth about what you want me to do and what you want from me.

"If your husband wants it, we'll make it happen one day."

Instead of Rose, who had no mouth, it was Lily holding me from the side who answered my twinkle.

'Cause that's what we're family for.'

"Lily......"

What Lily was really saying about that was felt by the pass.

I can always feel it.

Families who stay for Me.

What can I give them back?

"Nice."

At that time, Kato flickered at his mouth, who seemed to be sleeping accidentally wrapped in sheets.

"I envy you, sir"

"... were you awake"

Almost forgot I existed, and I was a little surprised.

Kato, dressed in a slightly dirty white sheet, remained in the same position until the last minute, staring only at me.

"I knew Mr. Lily was a monster, too"

"Were you listening"

"Give me the last part, just for a second. And... that's what Lily looks like now."

Ms. Kato showed Lily with her eyes that her lower body was slimy.

To the point of being. This cannot be deluded.

"Earlier, by accident... I woke up.... excuse me"

"No. That must be because I was making a scene. Besides..." I knew it, "I guess I had an idea, didn't I?

"... Yes. Um, sorry."

"There's no need to apologize. This is the one who kept quiet."

Either that or this one, who was hiding something, should apologize.

I won't apologize because there's no reason why we have to talk about this situation without covering it up.

"I'll ask for your information, where did you notice?

"Right. Lily didn't pull a step against Fire Fang."

"It sure is. But you didn't think I was cheat capable?

"Your husband, he called me."

Well, can you find out?

When I was convinced, Mr. Kato looked down somewhat unspeakably before turning to this one again.

"... and most importantly... Mizushima seniors, because they were"

"You knew Miho Mizushima?

"Yes."

Just for a moment, Mr. Kato dropped his gaze.

After a moment, he may be remembering Miho Mizushima, who died.

"Shut up, sorry"

Kato lowered his head.

"I acted with Senior Mizushima until yesterday."

"Right."

"I'm not surprised, am I?

Kato, who revealed the circumstances under which he was lying down, seemed to question my attitude a little.

"I thought that would be possible. It's only one possibility."

We both had something in common about being attacked by those boys students.

And Lily, who drew Miho Mizushima's memory, knew the existence of that mountain hut and the boys students who were there.

Originally, it is convincing to think that Miho Mizushima was in that mountain cabin, along with the Kato Vegetables.

My previous failure to confirm it with Lily was the result of taking into account Miho Mizushima's privacy as much as possible.

I have no right to like the memories of the deceased.

But I have a problem with Miho Mizushima. Unless it was an imminent danger, her 'knowledge' was not going to touch 'memories' anyway.

"Kato escaped from the colony, with Miho Mizushima?

"Yes, I have lived... thanks to my acquaintance with Senior Mizushima..."

It was still a dark voice, but Kato's voice, which answered my question, sounded somewhat gentle.

- Colony Collapse Day.

Kato said he was fleeing between the mob and the converted students as one of a group of female students.

Among the group was Miho Mizushima. They said they were close as senior juniors in the club, although this is a meaningless connection now that they have moved to different worlds.

As with me that day, they were the ones who were running away from the colony, but luckily they were protected by the cheat abilities where they were security forces.

But the ensuing assault by students on the rebel side made the group a chisel, and Kato and Miho Mizushima escaped to that cabin, protected by a boy, one of the security forces.

I don't know what the logic is, but the incredible stone that was in that mountain hut had the power to avoid monsters. The security forces boy, who knew it, left the two in a mountain hut with supplies and went after the First Exploration Unit to call for rescue.

I guess they decided it was safe to leave them at the mountain hut because they didn't have to think about raids by monsters.

He failed to put people's malice and desire into the calculations, even though the colony collapsed by insurgents.

As a result, Miho Mizushima and Makoto Kato were attacked by boys who came to the cabin by chance.

However, blaming him for making the decision to pursue the First Expeditionary Corps would be a little harsh.

Originally, the rebellion in the colony could not be held back because the highly conscious elites within the expedition had been pulled out by the First Expeditionary Corps, which aimed to reach out through the woods to this society of humans of the other world.

Even when it comes to cheat talent in a bite, its power is not right.

For example, my Monster Tame falls into a pretty weak category.

At the same time, it is unusual for these 'intrinsic abilities' to be.

Indeed, cheat abilities are usually strong enough to be useful in combat, such as arm strength, health, and magic.

But that's the majority of them.

They were called 'Warriors' and were the main force of exploration and colony defense in the woods. If you think about it now that you have become conscious of the power you possess, maybe only such 'those who have revealed their abilities in an understandable way' are just talking about 'being conscious of their abilities'.

I missed the point.

At any rate, the combat abilities of cheat abilities are generally at a high level, but not without disparities among them.

There are actually not many types that have inherent abilities and are furthermore poorly equipped. Ten people at most would have been there.

Among them, he was famous for his "Sword of Light" by Kojiro Nakatsumi in the third grade, who was the student chairman in the original world and also continued to be a member of the student council that led students in distress in different worlds, and for his "Dark Beast" Boom Miya in the same sophomore as me.

The rest were also famous for Yuna Iino of "Weiwaten", Koji Hibiya of "Absolute Cutting", and Shichiya Shimiya of "Dragon Man".

I hear it was a true cheat, not touching the details of my abilities, but not dealing with dozens of monsters or putting them on my teeth.

Conversely, it also meant that the load won too much for a student who didn't, to deal with a bunch of monsters alone.

"Takaya was a typical Warrior..."

The boy, who was one of the security forces, said his name was Jun Takaya.

He decided that on his own it was impossible to protect two female students and move on through the woods.

or so, there is no way to decide on a cage castle in a cabin.

Because of those circumstantial decisions, he left the two of them behind.

The result has been too tragic, but at that point, there is no way that God will know the right answer to Himself.

"... wait a minute. Does that mean the First Expeditionary Corps might come back this far?

I was listening to Kato, and I noticed how troublesome it was.

"Yes, maybe. It's up to you, Takaya."

"That too, he said, could come to that mountain hut"

"Yes.... you know, seniors? Is that, like, a bad idea?

"It's not like I'm going first..."

Until now, it has not been very likely that we will meet other cheat capable people in this vast forest.

But as long as you're in that mountain hut, that probability, which should be close to zero, will change to a pretty realistic value.

- I don't trust humans.

Furthermore, I believe that the human population is even less trustworthy.

That is the only lesson I have learned from that time of humiliation and desperate violence that I experienced on the day of the collapse of the colony.

Not to mention, if every one of them belongs to a group has powers that I can't resist.

With that in mind, it could be said that the choice to abandon the mountain hut turned out to be the right one.

But the trouble is that some Takaya found out there weren't two girls in that mountain hut and the humans he brought could be searching around. This cave we're twisting around isn't too far from that mountain hut. If you hit it poorly, you could find this place.

Should the base be moved further away?

This was an issue that had to be seriously considered.

"Um... seniors?

I was immersed in thought and came back to reality at Mr. Kato's call.

"Oh, bad. Hey, what's up?

Kato, with a serious face, stared at me.

"I need to ask you something."

"What?"

"What happened to Mr. Mizushima?"

I hesitated for a moment to answer that question.

"... she's dead."

I didn't do anything to delude you because the look on Kato's face I've been asking about it had a color of readiness.

"I took care of the body. I don't mind if you think the result is what Lily looks like."

"... Really?"

Mr. Kato was not surprised that he had made a thin mistake.

It was just a puffy tear spilled out of its eyes.

"Senior Mizushima..."

Tribute to the death of an acquaintance she was close to, she kept quietly crying for a while.

"... excuse me. In the middle of the story."

"No."

I shook my head to the side.

I hate humans on top of human disbelief, but I'm not going to be a livestock to blame for a younger girl who grieves knowing the death of an acquaintance.

"Never mind. It's more about what's coming."

"Yes."

"Takaya is just fine if he's bringing back the guys from the expedition. I'm going to get you protection about Kato."

I was changing my mind.

I thought it would be troublesome earlier, but I need to make contact with a human at one time in order to get Kato protected anyway.

If you're a properly moralized group, you don't need that to be an expedition, but you don't expect to interact with other humans for the time being. Opportunities should not be missed in pranks.

As I've thought before, this one finds out first how the group is doing, and if I'm likely to be able to trust them, I'll send Kato alone without making contact with them as much as possible. Let's do this.

"Is that okay?

"Yes.... Um."

"Hmm?"

"Seniors...?

Mr. Kato looked up at me as he sat on the slime part of Lily as well as the couch.

"You want me to be protected... what do seniors do?

"I'm not going with the expedition."

I had no hesitation in telling you clearly.

Without Kato, I would have gotten rid of this place and escaped immediately.

My contact with the expedition is only to get Mr. Kato protected.

I can't give this place away.

"Why, is it? Speaking of which, just now... he looked a lot like me."

Basically for the submissive Kato, he eats it fast.

Is things getting back a little bit, or is there any reason?

In any case, I don't have to lie to you. Just answer honestly.

"I can't trust you. It's just that."

"Your credibility... is about the expedition...?

"I won't let a bunch of people who can't be trusted by boulders leave the girl they're protecting to me. I'm talking more fundamentally about humans in general."

I shook my head to the side.

The self-derision distorted my mouth bitterly.

"I think it's a little human story while I'm at it, but I don't trust anyone anymore.... I can't. On the day of the collapse of the colony, I made up my mind."

"......"

I guess when I heard my words, I guessed the whole place was conjectured. Kato frowned in pain.

Even she's going through that day.

She knows. The ugliest part of humans.

So there's only one difference between me and her.

I was saved by Lily, a monster, after being shown so much as to dislike only the ugly part, but helped and protected, she must have seen the beautiful part of man as well.

... Oh, but.

Did Kato have a worse experience after that than I did in a way?

- Let's just try to believe it again, or something.

- Humans aren't just bad people, or something.

On this occasion, she didn't say what she found out about me not being trustworthy of humans, perhaps because a hell of an experience I couldn't even imagine called for sympathy in her heart.

That must have been lucky for each other.

Even I like nothing, and I don't want to beat up the girl I'm protecting.

To be honest, it was strange for me that Mr. Kato wasn't afraid of a man named me.

If I were her, I'd try to get away from me no matter what.

This is not rational. It was a physiological problem.

"Seniors too... you had a terrible look that day,"

Instead, Kato even showed me sympathy.

"... but seniors have the power to follow monsters, even though"

"It was after the collapse of the colony that I realized this power. I was saved from death by Lily here.... Oh, no. He was about to be killed."

Maybe the pain was in my voice.

Lily hugs her arm and slips herself away.

As I thanked her, I stroked her head and asked Kato, who would sit on the wall.

"Hey, Kato. My classmate who had my desk lined up almost killed me. Imagine that. The one sitting next to me in class kicks me about myself rolling miserably on the ground and giggles spirally. Such a sight. How can I trust other people if I've been through this?

…… So, about me too...?

I leaked a bitter smile to Kato, who asked me if I was a snake.

"Don't you ask me things that are hard to answer?

"Shh, excuse me"

Kato bows his head in a frightened manner.

"So, but..."

With his face up, Kato ran his gaze towards Lily and Rose, who leaned against me.

"What?"

"But the seniors... they have Lily and Rose, right?

As far as it goes.

Kato ran out of trust, but it seems strange that I trust Lily and Rose.

Well, from the outside, does it even seem strange?

If I were you, the perception would be unpleasant.

"They are my family. My people. I trust them, and I trust them."

Don't be with human beings - you can't even say that against Kato.

But that was my false truth.

"Really?"

Booshiri and Kato snapped.

"... after all, I envy you"

I had no words to give back to her.

Indeed, for Kato, who had a terrible eye without the power to fight, my power must be an envy.

With that in mind, I turned back on her by watering the dim darkness of the cave.

Two eyes stared at me with a glow that made me feel somewhere paranoid.

I thought I saw it somewhere.

It was exactly the same color of her eyes that she showed in that mountain hut when we first met.

"Senior Mashima"

Kato was opening his mouth again while I was under barometric pressure.

At that time, the expression could disappear like smoke from her face, which flickered only for a moment, and instead there was the usual apathetic Kato's faceless expression as vain as nothingness.

... because of your mind, was it?

Takaya, I'm talking about you.

"Oh, oh."

I totally lost the time to ask.

I don't mean to be honest with you when I ask, so I don't mind if I say otherwise.

Anyway, let's continue to be vigilant about Kato, who doesn't know what he's thinking.

That's what I decided, and I listened to Kato.

"What's wrong with Takaya and Yara?

"Yes, Takaya and I will face each other as we come into contact with the expedition… there may be a slight problem"

"What do you mean?

"That... Takaya, you were a childhood friend of Mizushima seniors..."

Look at Lily.

"I?"

"Yes, see what Lily looks like now and what he thinks..."

"Were you two lovers to each other?

"Oh, no. Not that I didn't..."

Are you trying to tell me that because that's a privacy issue for others?

"Well, he said something about Senior Mizushima..."

Still, I can understand it if you say so far.

"Miho Mizushima was beautiful."

I nodded deeply.

"Besides, my personality was good. A man in love wouldn't have known as many fingers on both hands. If you're a childhood boy, there's nothing strange about it."

It is that Jun Takaya desperately protected Miho Mizushima and Makoto Kato, and took them all the way to that mountain cabin, not just out of duty or kindness.

Of course, it would be an overly malicious interpretation to even say that it was a mean thing.

"For Takaya, Miho Mizushima was someone she wanted to protect, even with her life"

"Yes."

"When I saw Lily borrowing the look of a woman I was in love with, she said she might come at me angrily"

"That's the thing, sir."

But this again is troublesome as soon as I'm ready to make contact with the expedition.

No, let's not. I made up my mind once.

"Okay. If possible, let's go in the direction of laying low about Lily. I just need to solve the simulation in front of him."

"I think that's a good idea"

"Thank you for warning me about the danger."

Depending on what you think, this is the information we got because we were protecting Mr. Kato.

Protecting Kato doesn't change the dangers associated with contact with Takaya.

If I hadn't met Kato last night, I would have been based in this cave for a while.

Not knowing the possibility that the expedition would return to mark that mountain hut, there was no zero chance that Lily and Takaya, who looked like Miho Mizushima, would just run into each other.

It would still be better to know and take measures than to hold an unexploded ordnance before you know it. At least, I think so.

"Not that I'm thankful, but I promise I'll get the expedition properly protected, or I'll take care of it again until we get somewhere safe."

…… Thank you, thank you. "

Kato bowed his head.

The hidden mouth of his expression moved faintly with his forehead.

"But if you want to thank me..."

"What?"

When asked because he couldn't hear me very well, Mr. Kato shook his neck to the side.

Um, give me a glimpse of some paranoid eye.

"No. It's nothing"
