Shinka no Mi

Human

I immediately took a booklet that would have written the whole life of Black Dragon God.

Yeah, I've already learned. Anyway, it says' The Black Dragon God Story 'and it says' It's Non-Fiction 'below, right?

I'm sorry to hear that! I'm not that stupid! You're not gonna fool me anymore!

"Biography of the Black Dragon God"

"Biography!?"

I raise my voice to an unexpected title.

No...... biography!? not stories!?

Well, there's something wrong with the title so far! Why don't you give me this far and we'll unify it in a normal story!?

Biography is certainly something that spells out an individual's entire life, so I'm not wrong...

I spread it out and start reading it, somewhere unexplained.

"A Black Dragon God is a god that was once believed in man in a village"

And were they faithful...? Oh, it's God, so it's natural...

"The Black Dragon God has stood up and continued to protect the villagers if they have a crisis. The villagers worshipped the Black Dragon God with all their heart."

I can't imagine at all...... He hated humans so much, he was helping humans...

"But as time went on, the faith of the villagers faded. But even if the villagers forget to thank the Black Dragon God, the Black Dragon God has continued to protect them from all sorts of disasters and demons'

……

"Waiting for such a Black Dragon God was a brutal reality. The villagers began to crusade the Black Dragon God, building weapons with their materials, and attacking and destroying other villages. Naturally, the Black Dragon God was furious with the villagers. I didn't want faith or gratitude, but I didn't want much of this trick. '

Well...... I guess so. I've been betrayed and attacked by people I've been protecting.

"The Black Dragon God only had the name of God, and he was proud of his tremendous fighting power. But in order to crusade such a Black Dragon God, the villagers assembled those with the alias" Dragon Killer "and went on a crusade. Also known as Dragon Slayers, they easily sealed the Black Dragon God's movements and inflicted great damage '

Dragon Slayer... I can't imagine that Black Dragon God could do it easily.

"He was the Black Dragon God who fled with his life from such dragon killers, but eventually he lost his power to escape, and he was going to finish it now. Under the dying Black Dragon God, as his consciousness was blurred, one man reached out by chance. The man was the demon clan that would later be called the Demon King '

"What do you say!?"

Suddenly I accidentally raised a strange voice to the fact.

Tsukuba, Demon King!? Here comes Demon King!?

"The Demon King suggested healing the wounds of the wounded Black Dragon God and embarking on a journey with him. At first, the Black Dragon God was wary of the Demon King because he was the same type of person in the Demon Nation. But we were going on a journey together in a way that was half compulsive, and as we continued our long journey, we realized that we had become sincerely admiring the Demon King '.

I see... Has the Black Dragon God been saved by the Demon King?

"Such demon kings journeyed along with rescuing demons who would be abused by men, and reached out equally, even if it were human beings, if anyone was equally in need. The Black Dragon God admired the Demon King because he was originally a character who couldn't leave those in need alone and such a demon king '

... Oh, that? Unlike the demon king statue I imagine...

"Under the Demon King, who has thus traveled for a long time, many demonic tribes have gathered, if you realize it, and even to build a nation. Black Dragon God, the first Demon King's friend, lived quietly and peacefully in the country where the Demon King was founded. The country was always full of smiles. '

……

"But a race appeared that I don't think would like such a demonic country. That is the human being. Humans were dissatisfied that the demonic tribes they had obeyed and abused had begun to build nations and live in peace, just like humans. It was an endeavor to discover the desire and superiority of the late self, without being a slave anymore '

……

"In an attempt to destroy the kingdom of the Demon King, there were many Black Dragon gods and inflexible demons, and the Demon King himself at its apex was overwhelming in combat, so he couldn't help himself. In the meantime, a country succeeded in knitting a ritual called the Summoning of the Brave '

Here comes the brave...... I just have no idea, did I have this background in the brave summons...

"The summons of the brave was divided into two main categories: one was the way to summon the brave from different worlds and the way to empower the brave and make them brave to those with the aptitudes of the brave. At this time, he was a brave man born with the power of a brave man. The brave men immediately began their march into the kingdom of the demons, slaughtering many demons. The Black Dragon God and even the Demon King himself stood up to stop the march of the brave men, but the Black Dragon God was powerless before the power of the brave men, and could not rescue the Demon King on the occasion of the present step. Seeing the demon king defeated in front of him, the Black Dragon God rammed around as if to deny everything in the world. As if to destroy everything...... As a result, the Black Dragon God was unable to defeat the brave in one more step and himself was sealed into the labyrinth. Never again, I don't want to lose something important. At its heart, the Black Dragon God continued to feed and build up power for many things in the labyrinth. Hope you can have those peaceful days under the Demon King... '

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Sorry! I didn't think about the Black Dragon God situation at all!

Sure, I can't forgive you for hurting Mr. Altria.

But after reading this story, how short I was......!

Same goes for the crate, but if we discuss it, we might have figured it out...!

If this story is true, it's human scum. I can't save you.

So am I. Humans are basically craving creatures, aren't they?... among other things, I belong to a gathering guild of people who are especially true to their desires.

I'm not denying religion, but I think it's already one desire, even by wanting to throw away my troubles. Well, in that case, it must be a great thing with noble desires.

More than that, and thus thanks to the story of the Black Dragon God's past, we know the cause of the brave and the demon king.

I'm a human being, so I basically put my emotions on the brave side and think, but you don't think there's anything so far going on just because you change your position.

My parents used to tell me to think about it when I was a kid, but preconceptions and condensed common sense make it so easy to do something that simple.

They also have some kind of situation.

A crime would still be unacceptable. But if there's room for us to walk over each other... Again, I thought communication was important.

Having felt so smudged, and once again knowing the importance of being able to communicate with one another, I read the part that then said Black Dragon God's life and let my body absorb the booklet.

The most common experience with the Black Dragon God was, after all, combat experience with humans. Thanks to you, I think I figured out a lot of things like how to fight.

I looked at the rest of the chest.

"Well... money and what's in it?

Follow pure curiosity and open the chest.

Then there was a bag with gold and something like a single hooded long coat.

In the meantime, gold had a great number of white and gold coins when I checked the contents.... somehow, the money is causing tremendous inflation...

Store gold in the item box while lightly dizzying over too much money.

And I took out the last long coat and spread it out.

The hooded long coat had a white fur. The overall colour is black but gold embroidered on the back area, giving it a strangely gorgeous feel.

... There's an atmosphere of two illnesses during the sugai...

However, as far as I was concerned, I burned the robe I got from the sheep and wanted a way to hide my dark hair, this long coat is something to wish for. I have a bit of a medium two disease vibe, but it's purely cool.

With that in mind, I activated my appraisal skills on Longcourt.

"Black Champion's Long Coat"...... Fantasy Gear. Long coat to show that he was the God of the Black Dragon, a symbol of power. Heat resistant, cold resistant, always at a comfortable temperature for the equipper in the coat. Excellent shock and blade resistance, and most weapons can't even scratch one. Increases the power of all magic. Resistant to dirt. Experience gained by equippers decreases dramatically from normal.

"Something's so awesome"

I don't know, but I found it awesome anyway.

One last sentence. You mean this equipment makes it harder for me to get to my level than it is now?

Well, that's not how much I'm proud of my level of performance, so I don't mind at all......

Anyway, for me right now, this longcoat had a lot of helpful elements. Even if it makes it harder to get to the level, you won't have a hand to not wear it because it makes you more magical or defensive.

That would also be appreciated in the sense that you will be able to control my powers now before they rise in level and become stronger and stronger.

I tried on my long coat quickly, but it suited my body enough to surprise me.

Something's been getting all the convenient stuff for me lately, but is this due to my luck, too?

With that in mind, when I finished collecting everything, I headed to Salia, who was passing through Mr. Altria.

"Ah, Makichi! Are you done yet?

"Sort of."

"Oh well... Speaking of which, you didn't come sheep"

"Huh?"

I remember Sarah telling me.

That's right. Once the labyrinth is cleared, it's not strange for sheep to come, is it?

But he said when the sheep show up, when the labyrinth is cleared in the true sense, and in the case of this dungeon, is it conditional on letting the Black Dragon God live in peace under the Demon King?

... How difficult is that?

It was when my cheeks were pulling on the difficulty of truly breaking through the dungeons I was in.

Pom!

Suddenly, a space of nothing caused a small explosion.

"What the fuck!"

"Come on?"

Salia was relaxed as I stood. Somehow, you're on guard by yourself. Don't you think I'm stupid?

Staring into the space where the small explosion occurred, a piece of paper-like stuff fell out of that space.

"Hey, what?

Stay alert, pick up the fallen paper.

The paper had some kind of letter on it.

"Makichi, what about that paper?

"Come on? It says something..."

But why not? I think something similar happened a while ago......

I read the letters on the paper in my mouth.

"Hi, I'm Sheep."

"I knew it!

I felt that way somehow! That's what happened when you were a full face helmet!?

Salia asks with a smile when she is accidentally stuck in a letter written on paper.

"Huh!? That's a letter from the sheep!?"

"Huh? Ah, oh. Well, that's the place."

"Read it, read it!

With my eyes sparkling, that's what Salia says, so I decided to put it in my mouth and read it again.

'In the meantime, congratulations on the dungeon tread. You seem to be doing well to stop being human. "

Let it go!

'Well, I know you're already guessing, but you can't meet me because this time it hasn't been truly broken.... don't look so sad anymore.' Cause I know you can't help but miss me. '

What should I do? I'm dying to hit the sheep right now.

'Totally...... you don't change your mind about the noise. But don't worry. Because I know exactly what Makoto's heart is like when you're so twisted.... It's a lightning mask, isn't it?

Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah!

I've thought about it before, why are you having a conversation with the voice of my heart!?

"Because I'm a sheep."

I don't get it!

'Well anyway, because what I wanted to say is a blessing for treading the dungeon. Keep up the good work and step through the dungeon. Ultimately, we look forward to being reunited with Makoto, who, on the contrary, stopped living things. So, Miss Salia is well and BY From Everyone's Idol Sheep'

……

"From start to finish, it was a sheep's pace..."

"Sheep, you look good!

Yeah, I think it's good to be healthy, huh? But I think sheep should die once.

With that in mind, there was a continuation under the paper.

"Stretch. Me, I'm going on vacation for a while, so please don't make any true trespasses"

"Get to work. Whoa, whoa, whoa!

For some reason, it came to my mind that sheep were surfing on an island in the South, wearing an Aloha shirt. Then on the set of Glasan and Thumbs Up.

"Sheep, I hope you enjoy your vacation"

"No, no, no!

Mr. Salia. Sheep say they're going to play without work, right? It doesn't matter!

Scattered. I get a rough breath.

"Ha... well no. Anyway, you're saying sheep aren't coming this time"

"Too bad."

You don't have to be born. Oh, but you can't hit me with that...

"Ok, I also collected what I collect... all I have to do is go home"

"Yeah! Go home!

Listening to Salia's reply, she decided to activate the metastatic magic.

"Sarya, you're gonna activate the metastatic magic, so grab me."

"Yes!"

When Salia replied well, she grabbed my robe quickly equipped.

"Okay. Well, Mr. Altria..."

I'm new to metastatic magic, and I don't know what effect it has, so I was going to let you two touch my body that activates magic, just like I did when I came to this labyrinth.

Even though it had nothing to do with my will, that's how I got here. I'll be fine on my way home.

For this reason, I have to touch Mr. Altria, but I was also going to move the place I would transfer from the Wang capital a little further away from the implications of avoiding being conspicuous.

If all of a sudden we show up in the city, you'll be surprised.

So after thinking about walking, inevitably I can hold Mr. Altria. Of course, a princess hug.

"... I didn't think the day would come when I would run a consecutive princess hug"

I can't bear it because Salia's got it in the back, and when it comes to holding it normally, it's a lot of shit. Mainly because of my mental health problems.... guess what, idiot!

"Then do you want to go home!

"Yeah!"

There was nothing in particular to do, and as it were, I activated one of the spatial magics, "Transfer," and returned to the vicinity of Wang Du.

◆ ◇ ◆

"Mm... oh..."

Activating the metastatic magic, I accidentally open the eyes I was meditating on and leak an inspiring voice.

"Are you there?

I can hear Salia behind me, and I have Mr. Altria firmly in my hand.

And the place we transferred was where Mr. Altria got caught up in the transfer magic formation, and in front of him we saw the walls of Terveil, the king's capital.

"Safe... you're home"

I squeal unexpectedly.

The metastatic magic worked, but honestly, I was a little scared and I meditated on my eyes. So I don't know how you transferred so far. I may have done something unfortunate.

"Well... if it's true, I guess I'll have to crusade Slime, which is my original purpose, but Mr. Altria's passed out, too, and let's go home honestly"

"Right. Still... I don't know, it's been a while"

"Huh? What?

"Uh-huh... is it because I've been in the labyrinth the whole time? It's been a long time since I've felt like returning to my guild."

"Oh, if you ask me..."

Sure, I don't think it's been a day, but I don't think it's been a long time.

Is that all you mean, what happened in that labyrinth was thick?

"Well no. Let's go anyway."

"Yeah."

Thus, we walked out toward Terveil.

On the road, I traveled cautiously to see if I could ever be transferred again, but such vigilance seemed to end in concern.

And it was when I was walking in a little chat with Salia.

"...... hmm....... hmm?

"Ah, Mr. Altria!

"Good. You noticed!

You've been losing your mind in my arms until now, Mr. Altria woke up.

Mr. Altria has a bongy look on his face as he doesn't seem to understand the situation very well.

"Is this...?

"It's Terveil, the king's capital. You're safe, you're back."

Yes, smiling under the hood, Mr. Altria muttered small "well," and after a period of silence looked up at me with great momentum.

"What... ha!? Go home and say this is just it!?"

"Yeah. Look, look forward."

When I showed Mr. Altria the walls of Terveil, which seemed distant, he gave me a surprised look.

"Seriously, you're back..."

Mumbling so with a surprised look, Mr. Altria noticed a certain discomfort.

"Hmm?... Hey, why am I looking up at you so close?

"Huh? Well... because I have Mr. Altria."

……

At first I was tilting my neck like I said I didn't know what it meant, but gradually I understood what the word meant -.

"Oh, put it down!

"Whoa! Whoa! Please don't go wild!

"Just put it down! First and foremost!?"

"Huh? It's totally light, and you don't care, do you?

"~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Mr. Altria, whose face turned bright red, went wild in my arms.

No, it's actually light... Sure, it may be embarrassing to be held by the opposite sex, but Mr. Altria was supposed to be draining his strength in a battle with the Black Dragon God over losing his mind.

That's why I was holding the princess......

"And anyway, put it down! Or I'll punch you!

"Don't say it while you hit me!

I accidentally put Mr. Altria down on the ground because Mr. Altria would go wild.

Something beat me up, but it didn't hurt. Yeah, that's the freaking status!

"Ha... ha...!

Mr. Altria breathing on his shoulders.

I took a few deep breaths and Mr. Altria tried to walk out on his own......

"Ah..."

"Oops."

I supported Mr. Altria's shoulder because he still didn't have the strength in his entire body or was about to collapse right away.

See how that goes, Salia tells Mr. Altria.

"You can't, can you? Mr. Altria. Mr. Altria hasn't recovered from the wound. Seiichi, please carry me!

"Ha!? Well, can you be such an embarrassment!

"But that's how they carried you until just now, right?

"Uh-oh! That's because I was losing my mind...!

"And... or... ku! Mr. Altria has to be transported to Makoto!

"So -"

"Rejected!"

He was Mr. Altria, who refused to let me carry him, but he was barely pressured by Salia's rare and serious remarks and eventually sighed deeply and loudly.

"Ugh... hah... I get it... I get it! Should I be transported to adulthood?!?"

"Yeah!"

Salia, satisfied with Altria's answer, nodded with a smile.

"Seiichi, then. Carry it like you just did!

"Oh, that's good..."

When he turned his gaze to Mr. Altria, he was dyeing his cheeks red and staring up at him.

"And I had no choice! Makoto can't go wrong there!?"

"Huh? Ha..."

I don't know, but if you can let me carry you, I'll hold you before I change my mind.

That's what I thought. I held Mr. Altria to the princess just as lightly as I did at first.

"Ugh..."

Such Mr. Altria is turning his face bright red in my arms. This guy's a great looking beauty, but he's cute in places like this. If I put it in your mouth, you're going to beat me up, so tell me.

While we felt plain sorry for ourselves, we started moving our feet toward Terveil again, and silence continued for a while.

Nothing, it's not awkward, but if Mr. Altria has been keeping his face down in my arms the whole time, and he's wondering if he can speak up, he ended up silent.... maybe this is awkward.

The only healthy salia was Nikoniko looking at me and Mr. Aaltoria, chasing butterflies I see from time to time, etc., was shaky.

That is why Mr. Altria opened his mouth abruptly so as to break that silence as the inevitable silence continued.

"... I'm sorry"

"Huh?"

All of a sudden I was apologized for, and all I could do was make a dumb voice.

Why did you apologize to me?

Thinking of that, Mr. Altria says it small.

"... the... getting caught up in my misfortune..."

"Huh? Ah, oh. That's not..."

"I'm sorry about that!

All of a sudden I let Mr. Altria, who had a rough voice, stretch my body by accident.

Salia is running around on her own and has not received Mr. Altria's voice.

"I...! If I suck, I'm in a situation where you guys are going to die!? And yet... that's what I'm talking about!?"

……

This... yeah. I answered lightly. It's my fault.

I'm not sure how Mr. Altria feels, but I guess for Mr. Altria, the content of what you're saying right now is an indelible part.

He was silently listening to Mr. Altria, but suddenly Mr. Altria muttered something small and showed me a translucent board that appeared in the air with nothing.

"... this is my status. Look at that."

"Oh, but..."

"Fine.... Well, you might be aware of that."

I succeeded in checking the status of the pressed Altria by doing something to hold Altria back.

Then there was a hell of a status written.

"Altria Grem."

Race: Human

Gender: Female

Occupation: Warrior

Age: 19

Level: 123

Magic Power: 100

Attack: 5000

Defense: 3824

Jun Min: 4200

Magic Attack: 345

Demon Defense: 2221

Luck: - 2000 000 [The One Who Bears Disaster]

Attraction: Non-measurable

I am stunned by the content of too much status.

It is usually understandable that charm is incalculable. Mr. Altria, you're an awesome beauty.

I'm also shocked, but still acceptable, about the fact that there are 123 levels and they're far from my status.

But... what are these luck numbers?

It's a negative number, but it's slightly beyond my luck. Besides, it even shows something like a title that I'm not sure next to...

Thinking a lot in my head, Mr. Altria explains it in a lonely way.

"Numbers of luck... that's outrageous, isn't it? It says next to it," He who carries the calamity is the effect. "

"Who bears the disaster?

"That's right. From the time I was born, the curse was on me. The effect is simple. Negative on luck numbers… that's all."

Does that mean Mr. Altria's luck will be negative......

If it weren't for this curse, Mr. Altria would have more luck than me.

Why......

With that in mind, Mr. Altria either guessed my mood like that or told me.

"I don't know why I have such a curse, either. How many times have I died because of this curse...... Besides, if I'm dying, that's fine. What I can't stand is the damage of my curse to the people around me."

……

"Terveil knows such a thing about me, because of some guy, there's a special bond all over town. It never made the whole town unhappy, even if it bothered people nearby because of it. So I'm not leaving Terveil, basically. If you go to another city, that's all that makes you unhappy..."

For Altria, a curse isn't about being unhappy about yourself, it's about being unhappy around you...

When I realized that, I was getting angry at being so unreasonable.

Why do you have to feel so hard for someone so kind...

"That's why. Everybody stay away from me. Sure, I'm sad, but it's more sad that I'm the reason you're unhappy around me..."

……

"There's no way to break my curse. The guy who tied the line, he looked for a lot for me, too. I couldn't find it in the end. So, from now on, I will continue to be unhappy around you. I'm an unnecessary person in this world. And to my misfortune, I got you all involved... really... bad..."

That's all Mr. Altria said, he let his face down.

I was really an idiot. Even though you were so seriously troubled, you couldn't even notice at all, and at the end of the sentence, you hurt Mr. Altria. I want to beat the crap out of me for answering that lightly.

I may be careless, but I was glad to find out about Mr. Altria as a result.

When I was getting the request, I was creating an atmosphere somewhere hard to get close to, and I couldn't even know why.

But this is how I could know what Mr. Altria had.

And I'd like to tell Mr. Altria one thing that brought that situation to light.

I don't know how far that will help Mr. Altria's mind. Maybe instead of helping, I'll hurt you again.

Still, I really want to tell you.

"Mr. Altria. I don't think I've ever been unhappy to meet you."

"... Huh?

"Of course, Salia should feel the same way, not just me."

……

"Indeed, I was caught up in an event like this one that would kill me if I made one mistake. But... he's alive. Me and Salia... we're safe."

"I'm fine, but it was tough too. But more than that, the time Mr. Altria spent as our exam director was such a lovely time to write off such a big deal. It was a good time."

……

"Mr. Altria. You said we'd be unhappy, didn't you?

……

When I asked him that, Mr. Altria nodded with his face down.

"Unhappiness or happiness is ultimately up to that person. If you think the person is unhappy, it makes you unhappy, and vice versa, no matter how pathetic you look from around you, if you're feeling happy in person, it's happiness. And for me and Salia, spending time with Mr. Altria - it was never unfortunate. Whatever Altria herself may say, she will never give up."

"... eh"

"Mr. Altria. I never need you. I'm not a human being. So... don't say anything that demeans you anymore"

……

After I finished saying that, Mr. Altria kept leaning all the way down and didn't turn to me.

Would I have pissed you off? Would I have hurt you?

But what I just said is what I meant. So I definitely wanted to tell you.

Between me and Mr. Altria, when silence was reigning again, Salia, who had been haunted, rushed over.

And get close to Mr. Altria I'm holding.

"Mr. Altria! Gyu!

Salia, thinking she had approached Mr. Altria, held Mr. Altria from my arm and held her tight.

"If Mr. Altria feels unhappy, I'll make you happy for that! 'Cause it's wrong for someone so sweet to be unhappy!

"... ha"

I couldn't help but laugh at Sarya's words.

If I hadn't, how could Salia easily spot Mr. Altria's stuff?

After all, unlike humans, do they have sharp insights that are unique to wildlife?

Anyway, Salia's good at healing people everywhere. It's amazing what you're doing without consciousness.

Mr. Altria, embraced, remained silent all that time, letting his face lie down.

After that, we never had a particular conversation.

But that silence, unlike the first, was a relaxed silence somewhere.

As he continued to walk silently, he finally reached the gate of Terveil, the king's capital.

"... hmm?

I hope we got there, but somehow the area around the gate is noisy.

"Is something wrong?

Sarya notices the noise, too, and asks.

I don't know either, so as we twisted our necks together, I noticed a face I saw, and I got a surprise look at us, and I ran over.

"Hey, Makichi! Plus, Miss Salia and Altria!

"Ah, Claude."

It was Claude, also a Terveil soldier, who came running over.

Claude, wondering what kind of desperate look he had rushed up to, stuffed him all at once.

"Where the hell have you guys been?!? I was worried!?"

"To?"

I inadvertently make a dumb voice at the content of so many swordscreens and questions.

"I haven't been back for three days since I went to take down Slime... what the hell did I really do!

"Chi, wait a minute!

I'm gonna hold Claude still for once, and I'm gonna work my head off.

What did Claude say now? Didn't he tell you he hadn't been back in three days?

"Hey, Claude. It's only been a day since we went to take down Slime, hasn't it?

While I find it incredible, I ask him that unexpectedly.

But to that question, Claude frowned and answered.

"What the hell? I told you it's been three days."

……

There were no words in Claude's words, neither did I. Salia nor Mr. Altria.

I mean, while you were in that labyrinth, it's been three days outside...

Seeing how we were stunned, Claude also perceived something, the first momentum disappeared and now he gave a reassuring look.

"I don't know... anyway, I'm glad you guys are okay. I was just thinking about going searching for you."

"Huh?"

You think it's a search?

"Claude. Maybe, but with the three of us gone, you were just trying to gather the humans around that gate and find us?

When I asked him that even though I didn't think it was possible, Claude said it was impossible.

"It's obvious, right? I'll worry about everyone when I don't know you anymore, and I'll look."

……

Again, the three of us were stunned.

Normally, even people I know don't look for them because they're suddenly gone.

That's what Claude and I were gathered to find us.

In front of us losing our words, Claude spoke out loud to the people who were gathering.

"Hey! They're all back! Thanks for coming together, you guys!

Everyone who heard Claude's words looked relieved and spoke to us one after the other.

"Oh! That's good!

"I was worried about you, huh?

"Don't be gone all of a sudden."

Everyone smiled at us and went straight back into the gate.

"Well, that's what you guys came home safe, and I'm gonna work, too."

Claude also says so as he stretches his back.

And when he showed us how he remembered something, he told us.

"Oh, yeah, yeah. I was worried about you guys, the guild guys, too, right? Go home and show him your face."

That's all I said, Claude also walked up to the gate.

Not now, but nobody put a scratch on me holding Mr. Altria as a princess.

With all due respect, the three of us went through the process and walked into the gate.

On the way to the guild to show his face, when the city people saw Mr. Altria, they gave him a reassuring look, some of them as if they were wondering that I was holding Mr. Altria back.

As I walked around looking at the look on the faces of people around me like that, I had arrived at the guild at some point.

Oddly enough, as usual, I didn't hear any screams or anything from within the guild, but I felt a rushed atmosphere somewhere.

Leaning our necks but stepping into the guild, we are once again flabbergasted by the difference from the usual.

"Hey, did you get any info!

"No, it's the same."

"New information! Anything. Three days ago, they saw the slime disappear when Altria and the others were fighting."

"I, too, made contact with many young girls and gathered information... but all I could tell was the recommended confectionery shop"

"" "Normally gather information!

"... excuse me"

No, some of them were as usual, but still everyone's expression was serious, seeing things like paperwork all over the place.

When we couldn't hide the surprise from the usual, Gassle noticed us staring at the paper with a serious look.

"Hmm? Oh, oh! Mr. Altria! Makoto-kun!

Hearing Gustle's voice, he turned his gaze towards us all at once.

"I was worried about you! Where have you been!

Gassle, who ran to us, asked with a serious look.

"No... we're not sure either. Something... the metamorphosis magic was scattered, and with Altria, who stepped on it, we were in a strange labyrinth. So, well, I did my best to get home... and that's how I got home."

I explained it to a pretty big mess, but Gassle didn't show that he cared so much about the content, and he showed that he was relieved at heart.

"Right...... good. Apparently, Altria, you've been unscrupulous..."

……

Gastle squeaks like that when he sees Mr. Altria hugged by me.

And now I'm asking questions.

"So, I've been wondering just now... what's everybody doing?

"Hmm? Yeah, they were all gathering a lot of information to find you guys."

"Huh? Well, why?

Asked so unexpectedly, Gustle tilted his neck the other way.

"Why... if my people disappear, we'll all be looking for them, right?

Just saying what's obvious, Gustle said that in a frightened manner.

Earlier, Mr. Ellis came to us looking for information elsewhere.

"Mr. Gustle. This one is...... what, Mr. Altria!?"

When he noticed us, he rushed over at great speed and bounced off the gustle as fast as he could.

"Are you okay?!? Seems like Makichi is carrying you..."

"Ah, oh. Safe."

Mr. Ellis looked relieved when Mr. Altria, who had been silent until now, returned it.

"I'm glad. Really safe..."

Mr. Ellis says that with tears in his eyes.

Really, we all seemed worried.

Gustle, who checked our safety, told everyone in the guild.

"Guys! Altria, you guys are back! Ha ha! My muscles are joyful too......!

A word from Gustle prompted them all to cheer loudly.

"Good for you! Now you can steal without worries!

"Um, safe and above all! To that blessing today, suppose we stick it out and get naked in front of the royal castle!

"Let's just say I share this joy with the young girls!

"Hey, you guys! Let's break this guild to celebrate the return of the Altrians!

"" "Hey idiot, don't!

In an instant, he began to punch his own desires, and yet another different chaotic space dominated the guild.

Mr. Ellis is whipping up some nasty, painful Osama, and Gustle is deciding one muscle pose after another on his desk.

We have no choice but to look at such a chaotic guild, but one thing, I've figured it out.

Even when I looked at the Black Dragon God's past, I thought humans were still creatures painted on desire. Conversely, without desire, you might even say you're not human.

Especially the guilds we have now, there are many of them who are true to that desire.

Humans may be filthy, ugly creatures.

But more than that...... he must be a gentle, warm creature.

I've rejected the warmth of this man when I was on Earth.

Meiji and Shoutae cared about me, but they refused.

That must have been very lonely.

It's not like humans can't live alone, but how lonely that is.

I don't want Mr. Altria to feel the same way after rejecting people's warmth and having a hard time.

In my arms, I said to Mr. Altria, who is still grumpy.

"Mr. Altria. People who think you're going to be unhappy... they all look happy."

……

"You're more important than you think. They're surrounded by warm people. Hey, I also feel too honest about my desires..."

…………

"Trust me more around you. Rely on it. Don't hold it in yourself. Look around. … someone will be happy to have you home."

………………

"You're not unhappy. I'm embarrassed to put it into words... but you're loved."

"Eh."

"I'll say it again. I don't think you're unhappy. And - -" Disaster. "Not something."

"It's kind, caring, sister skin, just a little trouble physique. Me and Salia... probably don't care about your physique with everyone in this guild. Guys, I love you for turning it all upside down."

……

"Those of you who think you've made them unhappy, thanks to you, are more than unhappy - they're happy."

――――

I tried to put it into words and tell them, but it's really hard.

I can't believe how hard it is to tell them how you feel...

Couldn't put it into words well and thinking about whether or not Mr. Altria had conveyed his feelings, suddenly Mr. Altria got out of my arms and ran out of the guild.

…………

Huh?

"Hey! Why did you escape!?"

It was so sudden that my reaction was startlingly delayed.

I don't know why!? Did I say something that bothered you?

Salia tells me she's unintentionally horny on the spot.

"Makichi! Go after Mr. Altria!

"Huh? So, but..."

"It's okay! Because Makoto's feelings are conveyed. Hey?"

I wonder how strong a woman is. Really, I feel sorry for the guy.

But thanks to Salia, I had a neat head thinking about the mess.

I don't need to think about anything. Chase Mr. Altria. But isn't that all?
