Monster no Goshujin-sama

26

"... your husband"

Your husband, who appeared before me when he was caught.

The figure was muddy and full of fine injuries.

Nevertheless, given that we have encountered Takaya purely once, driven by madness, we should say that we are fortunate to be just five bodies satisfied.

Though it seems like a bad joke in the eyes that he, who is supposed to be protected, will come to save me on the defensive side.

I knew he'd come.

Or... he's here.

Coming to my chest, where I saw your husband, was the joy without falsehood and the regret and fear that brought him into danger - and an unexpected perplexity.

But I don't think I can help it either.

Somehow, your current husband did not have one of his own family, except for Asalina, who cannot physically leave.

Until then, when I lost consciousness, there should have been Rose near your husband...

What is wrong with her?

If it is possible, is there still something in her body during contact with Jun Takaya?

It's about my dear sister. I get worried.

However, because the effect of the chains that were tying the body or the path was not working effectively one thing, I didn't know what was going on with my sisters, including Rose, except for Asalina, who was within sight.

One of the most perplexing things about me was the giant wolf, who even drifted in the style of king, across your husband's side in place of his invisible family.

There are two fierce heads, five tentacles stretched from the waist, a foreign wolf.

Though it is the figure that is changing, I soon found out that it is an individual called Berta.

But Berta is not your husband's family.

Another monster - a member of Kudo Lu's family.

How is such a Berta, and with your husband?

The answer was apparently to the person sitting in front of your husband.

"Two-headed wolf...... what did you say your name was? Uh. I kind of don't remember."

A tall house, who seemed to have the same doubts as mine, saw 'a man who hid his whole body in a hooded jacket' sitting in front of your husband, and said as he was convinced.

"Well no. That means you're the other monster... Kudo Lu, right?

……

The person in the hood does not answer.... Can't you answer that?

If so, that really sounds like Kudo.

I don't know why Kudo is here, but it seems your husband borrowed his hand to help me out.

Seeing Kudo in silence, Jun Takaya shrugged his shoulder.

"I didn't think you'd come out here. Long time no see, Kudo. I've never talked about it before."

Jun Takaya and Lu Kudo are classmates.

From this mouthful, he didn't seem to have any contacts in school, but still knew about his face.

I see. That's why Kudo's hiding his face.

For this matter, it seemed futile.

"I thought if I hid my face and kept quiet, I wouldn't know who I was? That way, you might poke at my surprise? Too bad if it is. I know who you are. Maybe I know you better than Mashima."

"What do you mean?

It was your husband, not Kudo, who asked.

"You found out about Kudo because the information that I was dealing with Kudo at Fort Chile passed to Fort Evenus, right? You can't possibly know more than that."

"Mr. Iino did deliver the information to Ebenus, and I myself got the same information from Mr. Iino when he rendezvoused in Serratta. I learned about Kudo before that."

"That should be..."

No, I'm not.

Jun Takaya had a terribly aggressive grin.

'Cause Voices from Heaven taught me.'

"..." Voices from Heaven "? Oh, my God, that's"

"Is it easier for you to understand by saying this?... the collaborators of the Fort Chile raid."

I couldn't help but notice the two of them.

"No way......"

In the shadow of the Fort Chile raid there was the presence of collaborators who were connected between Tatsuya the Cross, who had joined the First Expeditionary Corps and were at Fort Ebenus, and Ganta Sakami and Kudo Lu, who had been left in the depths of the tree sea.

In the end, although I didn't know who the collaborators who weren't there were, I only knew that was one of the first expeditions to Fort Ebenus, with cheats with long-range communication capability.

I didn't know that was working behind it this time.

I was terribly surprised, but on the other hand, your husband's reaction was slightly different from mine.

Though surprising, minimal. He struck his tongue with a bitter expression, as he was convinced by Takaya's words.

"Reasonably... I let Lily's consciousness fly precisely. I thought it was weird. That was impossible if you didn't know."

I thought for a moment about what it meant, and then I thought of what your husband was trying to say.

I myself do not remember the moment of unconsciousness, but I hear from the mouth of Jun Takaya himself that he was devoured with a sword in the head.

Shortest procedure. The best way.

To exchange it, you need the right knowledge.

But how did Takaya find out about it?

Our information is not very out there.

This was natural, given that we are ourselves, a group of monsters who must conceal their identities as much as possible.

Not to mention that the conditions under which I lose consciousness are not like bragging.

If so, I could only assume that the information had been conveyed from the person who was actually watching it.

Not so many times have I lost consciousness.

One of them is a battle against the Cross at Fort Chile.

At that time I lost consciousness after being truncated from the front by a crossword, crushing my pseudo-head with a fist blow.

The important thing is that one of the humans who was there was someone who had a connection with what Takaya called a 'voice from heaven'.

"... Ganta Sakagami"

"Ah. Did your sister notice, too?

Jun Takaya grinned when he heard my twinkle.

Yes, there was a monster, Kudo Lu's boy, who had been hidden.

After that, losing his mind in pain of injury, he was recaptured to Berta on his way to be transferred by the Knights of the Alliance, and at the end of the day he was eaten to death by order of Kudo.

Until then, there was ample time for him to convey the information he had witnessed to his collaborator, The Voice from Heaven.

Wearing it and thinking about it, it is also possible that Sakami did not choose to flee on that occasion, and that he stayed near the fort to avenge his husband, also because of his interaction with "Voice from Heaven".

In one way or another, such a way of being is more deserving of a 'demonic whisper' than a 'voice from heaven'.

It's called the previous Fort Chile raid, it's called this one, and the way it was, it was malicious, like making my spine cold.

Who the hell are you?

That's what I thought, and it seems your husband was the same. He opened his mouth with a rugged look.

"Takaya. Do you know who 'Voice from Heaven' is?

"Come on? When I asked you for a name, you returned it because it was a blatantly nasty name, called 'Voice from Heaven'. I knew right away that you weren't going to answer properly. As for me, I wouldn't have been interested in anything else if I'd gotten information about my sister, so that's all right. So I don't know if my real name is a man or a woman."

"... I've been talking to you, huh?

"'Voice from Heaven' is only what he said, because he didn't hear you like a phone call. It's like talking directly to my head...... should I say telepathy? Yeah, that's what it felt like. He didn't tell me anything about himself. Well, for that matter, I used to talk to Bella about other people. For example -"

Jun Takaya set her gaze on Kudo, who would sit in front of her husband.

"- Kudo, about you and Boom Miya."

Boom Miya?

I was confused by the name that suddenly appeared.

I felt like I'd heard it somewhere, but I can't recall it being aggressive.

Your husband looks surprised, too.

But the others reacted differently.

Kudo, with his hood on, shook his shoulder tightly.

Berta was more obvious.

"... you. mocking our king."

The roaring voice of the wolf contained clear animosity and anger.

As soon as it's going to hit me, I'm killing myself.

If you are the same family, you have something to convey.

It was an unparalleled passion for treading in the sanctuary of the Lord.

Seeing such a reaction, I was just a little surprised.

Kudo Lu's ability forces his family to obey.

Everything is a tool for him. That shouldn't have changed even if the willing monster was the other person.

But now Berta is angry because of Kudo, the Lord and King.

That meant that the two were not just being obeyed.

Now, that seemed to be on the back.

"Calm down, Berta"

The only one who spoke to Berta, who was about to erupt, was your husband, who kept calm.

And so are you.

Go on, pound Kudo's shoulder sitting in front.

"I'm just shaking it up. What if you get upset?"

"... I know"

Blurring and hard to hear voices.

It was hard to tell because he was wearing a hood, but Kudo seemed to snort.

Seeing such interaction between your masters, Jun Takaya snorted boringly.

As your husband was trying to get some information in this conversation, Jun Takaya was also trying to upset Kudo through this exchange, so to speak.

As it stands, beside your husband is a team of rapids, not relatives of our hearts.

Little things can rattle your combat abilities.

Around coming for it, even though it's crazy, Jun Takaya maintains good judgment.

It was a pain in the ass.

It will be harder for your husband to mask the isolated difference in strength from Jun Takaya by poking a gap than he can make such a calm decision right now. Whether my presence is shackled, how far is the difference to be filled with it?

I just want you to explore the winning opportunity somehow... but there was no reason to continue the conversation purely with Takaya any longer than the original prospect had come off.

"It would have been easier if you'd gone upside down and attacked me. Well. So... what is it?

In a murderous voice, Jun Takaya asked her husband.

"Give me back my sister Miho, was it? Hey, Mashima. Ah."

I get my hands on something important - I guess that's how I felt. Hatred overflowed from the boy's body.

It's like a boiling witch's cauldron.

Scratched emotions wander away and boiling fury invades the space.

But your husband was not frightened.

At the time I come to this occasion, I return it in a taunted manner, as if I were determined to be ready.

"Oh. I'll have it back. That's why I'm here."

"This guy..."

Jun Takaya distorted his expression.

Rippling and teething sound.

"... don't get me wrong. Your sister is not yours."

"No."

Your husband waved lightly.

"Lily's mine."

……

To say the least, I was unconscious.

"Lily is my family, and I am Lily's husband. No one else has a mess to say."

It's not even like your husband, it's a bit of a forceful thing.

With that much strong readiness in his chest, I guess he is here.

I'm glad about that.

Glad to hear it...

But the opponent is Warrior. I have cheats.

It seems too reckless an enemy for your current husband to deal with.

Next to your current husband is Kudo's family.

Due to the nature of the abilities, there is a cap on the individual forces of the monster that Kudo can follow.

Berta seems to be more fortified than she was when we met before, but still, her combat abilities would be less than mine.

In addition to that, where your husband and Asarina have joined, it's tough to deal with Warrior.

At least if Gabella...... that, too, though if we had her in full condition, we might be able to fight each other.

... No. I knew it was too reckless.

To my natural conclusion, I chewed my lips.

Is there any way to break the current situation?

As I am held with one arm in the high house, I ponder visibly.

How to protect your husband.

The way I can help now.

I don't care what happened to this person. If you don't find that, your husband... then I don't know...

"Lily."

And they called me by my name.

Face up. I got eyes on your husband.

My face must have been very tense.

You interpreted that as a sign of anxiety, and your husband smiled at me.

"I'm fine, just give me a few more minutes"

"Ah..."

I try to return my words.

But before that - the boy's anger and madness exploded.

"Bullshit...... Kenna. I'm kidding. Ah!

Pure Takaya's shapes screaming were badly distorted.

As I say, it is a glorious pain for us to exchange words.

Is that natural, too?

All I see is what I want to see. I don't want to recognize the right facts.

Try to be a boy who wishes so, because every word of the conversation we have puts into our fantasies, nothing more than a punch of a wedge.

"Your sister won't give it to anyone anymore! To no one! To no one.

Jun Takaya growls.

By doing so, we deny the reality in front of us.

The treasure sword emitted light - brilliantly, calling death.

"Avoid it!"

Your husband issued a warning.

Immediately thereafter, from the ground just below Berta, which bears him, a pillar of dirt grows to blow out.

Berta shunned herself from the slam that could be launched.

But that doesn't end the attack.

"Coming, Berta!

"... I know. Hold on."

Berta rushes out according to your husband. Soon, the appearance became a grey breeze.

It's like a speed you can't chase in a regular person. The alien wolf runs through the woods at a rate that increases by a few percent while the body is one turn larger than the normal Fire Fang.

But that wasn't beyond Warrior's kinetic vision.

"From before me! Go away, Mashima!

The tremendous magic of cheats is poured into the sword.

A dirt column poking up from the ground struck a running berta.

The sight of dirt columns disturbing from the next to the next was as if the intersection of pure Takaya's rage and lack of madness embodied it as a mass to the point of viciousness.

"Guru..."

Flipping a giant over three metres, Berta walks away from the earth column.

On that back, your husband was desperate to hold Kudo from behind.

Berta's tentacles are wrapped around the two hips, securing them to her back. In time, Asarina was tying your husband to Kudo's body.

If we don't do that, they could shake us off.

The poles of dirt that continue to grow after the shadows of Berta that keep running through the earth transform the scenery of the common mountains into that of the other world.

Berta seems to be trying to get closer to this one somehow, but Pure Takaya's attack won't allow it.

Ranged attack by magic with too much magic in it. At first glance, it also seems passive, but by doing so, Jun Takaya continues to maintain a unilaterally attackable situation.

Berta will soon be inevitable. As it was, it was impoverished.

"Grrrr!"

Berta herself decided not to open her mouth, and one of her two heads opened his mouth toward this one.

Flames overflow from the oral cavity, approaching us in a straight line.

It's a course that will involve me as well as this, but it wasn't Takaya pure enough to go through this degree of aggression than it was far enough.

"Ha! To this extent!

The earth columns are created, blocking the way of the flames.

Because it was easy, Berta's exhaled flame was prevented.

This is the difference in strength from having cheats. It was a brutal reality.

Instead, when this attack was just a good opportunity, Jun Takaya shuddered.

"Eat!"

A dirt column leaping diagonally from the ground strikes from Berta's blind spot.

Berta, who had just thrown out the flame, reacted late, just for a moment.

On the dirt belly of a giant wolf, a dirt column struck directly...

"Become...!?

- A green defensive film was stopping that blow.

Hit, offset, and green sludge splashes with dirt columns.

"Well done, Zeezer!

The time you earn is for a moment. But during that moment, Berta was running through.

You must have been so sure that you had eaten an absolute blow, Jun Takaya froze.

In that gap, Mirumi Berta packs the distance.

When you return it to me, it's too late.

- If that was a regular person, it must have been too late.

"Damn."

Warrior's physical abilities will not allow him to approach his enemies so easily.

From Berta trying to strike from the side, Jun Takaya flew away a lot and took a distance.

As it was, the battle shifted to something glaring while traveling the mountain.

"Gooooooooooooo!"

Berta's flames lick the forest.

Using earth columns, or using trees as shields, Jun Takaya keeps avoiding flames.

I don't think you have me beside you, in your devilish form, and don't lean on Berta.

"Can you hit something like this!

If we can keep this distance, we'll always be able to avoid it.

"It's the same for me"

Neither does Berta eat the direct blow of Takaya's rolling dirt column.

Though Takaya's pure treasure sword seemed unable to create two or more earth columns at the same time, Warrior's immensely magically infused treasure sword will form the next dirt column in the next moment evaded, without intermittent hair intake.

Berta can't avoid this.

But the occasional blow of eating is defended by the green sludge that wraps around the wolf's body.

That one, which was called Zeser, must also be a member of Kudo's family.

The green defensive membrane is splashed by soil pressure every time it eats an attack, but that was enough to buy Berta enough time to avoid it.

The battle is in an adhesive state with no determinants of each other.

As long as we keep this distance, things won't change for long.

That's probably best understood by the fighting Takaya Jun himself.

More angrily than just now, he sounded a grumpy, teething noise.

"... depressing"

I groan in a low voice.

"Depressing, depressing, depressing... Huh!

"Ugh!?

Suddenly inertia came upon me, and I was crushed in the lungs.

Jun Takaya, in a hurry, came forward.

"... kill"

From the way we fought with safety as our top priority so far, to the battle where we risked just a spoon of it.

That's all, the balance that hung so far, leans to death greatly.

"Guruuuuuuuuuuuu!

It was a retrograde choice. Turning from before, Berta intercepted the incoming Takaya Jun with a flaming brace spitting out of her head.

At an extraordinary time, Pure Takaya defends this by producing dirt columns in front of him.

"Ugh!

Furthermore, he kicked down the pillars he had created himself.

"Guru......!?

Berta, who was in the front, realizes that a flaming brace attack can only scorch a falling dirt column, or on the verge of being crushed, dodges this on the sidelines.

At that time, Jun Takaya was' running straight through the pillars that were falling 'and even approaching right next to the fleeing Berta.

"... die"

That was already, in time for the sword.

You can call it a special occasion, pure Warrior Takaya, who is not inherently good at magic.

I had no skill to exchange, I could only look at the events before me.

Pure Takaya attacked.

Berta, who intercepts him, puts his foot together and opens a large mouth lined with fangs.

With that back, your husband stares at Jun Takaya.

Face stretched to a situation of absolute desperation. But I haven't given up his eyes. No. On the contrary, the cramped mouth is hanging strong...

"... heh!?

- It was precisely at that moment that a new shadow popped out of the shadow of a tree standing beside Berta's leg.

Seeing the appearance, Jun Takaya breathed heavily.

Pleated skirt hem flicks.

Holding it in one hand is a beautiful fine sword.

Long black, glossy hair and straight eyes reflect the fallen boy.

"Ugh, ooh!?

Screaming, Jun Takaya flew away with all his strength and spirit.

"Ugh, yeah. Why did you do that?

Rin's gaze glances at Takaya Jun, who cut off the wolf.

The situation covers in an instant. Naturally. That's all it weighed on a plate of battle stations.

"Why are you here, Mr. Iino!?

- "Weiwaten", Yona Iino.

The most powerful class of warriors in this world also appeared before a boy who had fallen mad.
