The Strongest Wingless Gargoyle

"You're gone."

"Yeah."

Cliff left the castle on a griffon for a meeting with Berea.

The destination is the city of Lidomdora, ruled by the Demon King Corlu.

Seeing my brother almost invisible anymore, Reese floats a lonely side.

……

I don't know what to say, but I'm just a little used to it.

I've had two breakups in a short period of time.

Well... even when it comes to breaking up, those guys should be back soon.

"... we have to work hard."

"Right."

I'll agree with you for now.

Even if I try, I can't help Reese.

I can't do executive work.

All I can do is protect the two of you, nothing else.

Yes... to protect.

It is his face that inevitably reminds me.

...... Mr. Razapham across the far sky.

What are you doing now?

Would you have been safe and reunited with your wife?

I'll take care of your daughter.

Be sure to protect it and show it to me.

"Hey, Luminaria"

"Yes?"

Luminaria with a tilted neck and a Kyoton face.

It's okay, I don't know.

I'm talking about this one.

Whatever it is... protect, protect...

What exactly am I supposed to do to protect you?

It's easy to talk about defeating the enemy in front of you.

Better stick around at 4: 00 or 6: 00.

You'll want some private time, too.

The other two are beautiful girls.

... Well, of course I don't mind.

Uh-huh, that's hard.

"'Protect' …?"

"Huh!!

Luminaria responds to casual crushing words

Turn this way with great momentum.

"Uh... what's up?

"Beh, it's nothing"

"Oh well."

A distracting luminaria.

... I was scared, hey.

Don't look at me suddenly.

……

I'm stunned with vegetables this time.

... 'Protect' out.

Though it is certainly a word that symbolizes him.

Whatever it is, isn't it a little hypersensitive?

This time, let's be careful.

"Already! Be careful, you idiot!!

... you be careful too, you idiot Reese.

That word... I'll give it back exactly as it is.

"Ho, there! If we hit too much wind, we'll catch a cold and we'll go back inside."

I tried to change this indescribable air, and it got me talking fast.

It's a little trivial, but I can't help it.

"Oh yeah!!

"... Yes"

We go back inside the castle.

... Leese is the only one in this who gets a cold about the wind, but I didn't particularly dispute it and Luminaria followed me.

And I'm talking to Reese in the office.

By the way, soon after Luminaria dropped off Cliff, she headed to work for the Mercenary Guild.

It's convenient today only.

"What you just said was dangerous. Be more careful."

"... your 'idiot!!' Cause I don't know. You're making it worse than following!

"... Ugg"

It's like admitting to "hiding" if you overreact like that.

"Well...... good"

I can't help but say which is better and worse.

We'd better have a more constructive story.

"No, after all, what..."

"What?"

"I asked you the other day, what happened to hearing the impression of your father (Razapham) from Luminaria?

Well, to see the exchange earlier, I guess not yet.

"Well... not yet."

"Right."

"Ko... I've been busy working here lately, and I worked with my brother until last night"

"Cheng Cheng... So you're going to ask?

"Uh-huh, duh, I don't know. It's not like I don't have a job today. If my break matches Luminaria's... hey, it's like a good biorhythm, I'm just going to talk to her today... duh."

"Oh, you..."

You've never seen a lease this unclear.

... Well, the contents are the contents.

I can't help but want to run away.

I don't want to be involved in a family affair or a project that feels like a drool.

"Oh, sorry."

"No... fine, I'm sorry too. Besides, you're putting a strain on one of us. I blame you for being out of line."

Luminaria realizes something's wrong with us.

You're very sensitive to every word.

I just don't feel compelled to ask if you're aware of it. It's a stance.

I'm talking about a sensitive girlfriend, who won't be able to figure out the details of this hidden situation, but what I can't talk about lightly... seems to anticipate about it.

So, you're not going to listen until you force us into trouble.

I just had a reaction earlier.

……

Based on that, what should we do? Discussion between the two of us didn't end up with a good idea.

I would still maintain the status quo.

"For now... let's see how it goes a little bit more"

"Uh-huh, but"

Reese looks sinister...... but.

"I don't even think I can keep this up. But this problem needs to move carefully."

Yes, we need to move carefully and carefully.

Failure is unacceptable.

This is not a problem forward, etc.

I'm never running away.

"Okay, I'm gonna change things a little bit, okay?

"What?"

"Now that Cliff's gone...... what am I supposed to do?

I ask Reese.

It also leads to an earlier case of protection.

"Well... I've told you before, I hope you're not far from the city so you can move quickly"

"Right."

I knew you wouldn't take Kraken's request.

Looks like you can't take a crusade with Luminaria.

I'm a little sorry, but I can't help it.

"I may be cramped for you, but I'm sorry"

"Never mind."

I'm not even supposed to be in a cabin.

I haven't seen all of this city yet.

This much is nothing if you think of the 1,500 years of slavery that has gone on.

"It's actually... while I'm away, what are the possibilities of attacking this place?

"I don't think it's likely that the Immortal Four (the Four Without Death) Nazenheim himself will be here. I don't have that information at the moment."

"Right."

That would be a little reassuring.

"However, regardless of Nazenheim himself, one of the demon kings under his umbrella might come up with a setup"

"What's the name of that demon king?

"Demon King Laboulas, the highest demon (Demon Lord) capable of following four advanced demons."

... the devil.

Menardo is situated on the peninsula, to the east of it, across the sea (bay), a vast territory of Nazenheim.

It is Rabolus the Demon King who reigns over the western side of Nazenheim territory.

He is the nearest demon king to Menardo.

"... Laboulas has rubbed with his brother before."

"Did you rub it?

"Yeah, my brother was also invited to the faction by Nazenheim before Belia the Demon King. When the apostle refused to invite us to the Demon King Laboulas at that time, we had a lot of disagreements... but it didn't develop into a battle."

……

"Well, it's natural to say no... because the contents were like treating a country, I'd only guarantee my life," he said.

I see.

"I haven't made any particular moves since, but... when I found out your brother was away"

"You think I'm gonna set you up?

"Yeah, you won't be able to attack me easily. This is a peninsula, and their opponents are across the ocean (bay). When we come to Menardo, we go quite a long way because, as we saw from above the griffon, we also pass through the Great Forest by land. Just..."

"Just?"

"Because they have wings"

"... the city of Menardo has no anti-flight gravity junction."

"Well, even if you put up a gravitational junction, being an arc demon class opponent doesn't work... I'm not saying it doesn't make sense"

After that, keep talking to Liese.

From serious stories to chatter that isn't.

"Well... and"

Cut the conversation where appropriate, and Leese gets to work for the day.

Unlike me, she has a job.

Well, what am I gonna do...

I just want to have a meaningful time though.

There is also no luminaria in the castle.

Though...... even if I go to the guild, no one has company.

I wouldn't even bother going to miss you.

... then.

"... hey, isn't it disturbing to be with you?

I'll make sure.

Because some people won't be able to concentrate on their work on their own.

"Nothing... I'm fine. But don't touch the papers."

"Okay. Because I'm reading the book appropriately"

I've been reading here lately, but... okay.

The office for two.

When I look up from the book at hand, I see Leese doing her paperwork silently with great concentration.

Now that Cliff is not in the castle.

From now on, Reese will take his place...

Do you serve her properly in character?

When I first came to the castle, I wondered.

but this is quite... do it.

The castle is naturally visited quite often by visitors of commercial guild representatives, etc., due to the relationship of the festival.

On the lower level (the sixth floor) there is a sight to see, and here is their response.

Actually, I've been wondering what it's like before, and let me hide and sneak in to see how it goes.

Don't tell them in person... No, Cliff was aware of that.

... he was sighing for a long time and sending a flickering glance at the shadow of my hidden pillar.

And you missed the point.

Regarding Reese's condition at that time.

With a crisp look, if you say so in a nutshell... I was playing the princess firmly.

It's rude to say that I was playing even though I'm a fact princess, but I know Vegan's girlfriend, so I can't help it.

It was pretty bad when you were with me.

As soon as we meet, it turns out she's the Demon King's sister, and she's going to leak the mess and the secret information.

But it seemed like an extra worry.

Well, it seems pretty lame in front of people close to you or when your emotions get high.

Rin's tone when speaking was very intelligent.

She was exactly the kind of woman who could.

There are a lot of hard words out there during the conversation.

……

... hey, don't feel so retarded about me right now.

And anyway. I really thought it was awesome.

Well, otherwise you're anxious and I won't let Cliff be away either.

I stare at Reese.

"What's going on? Look at people's faces."

"No, I was just revising your ratings."

"What's that?

"... honestly think it's amazing."

"Oh, yeah... I don't know"

Reese's face like that is a little red.

Seems complimented and illuminated.

Something good.

"I don't hate that either. Good lady."

"... it's creepy. What are you going to ask me for after this?

"Oh, you, I gave you a rare and honest compliment."

I seem to have made you too praiseworthy and alert.

This time there was no bottom line, and I didn't mean to have any shards.

I couldn't get you to believe it because of the growing rhetoric and behavior these days.

……

Silent time ensues.

The sound of the paper turning perky echoes indoors.

It's quiet...... but there's no nervousness or anything between us.

... calm time.

The other rainy day, when I was in the room doing nothing, I was thinking, "You're wasting your time," but now I don't even feel fine dust.

That's when the hour went by.

Reese looked up from the paperwork and spoke to me.

"Now it feels weird that you and I are together in this castle."

"Mm-hmm."

"... it's only been a month or so since we met."

A month after I was released from my slave life.

From the years I've lived so far, it's been an intense time for me, so I can immediately think of it.

"It's been pretty rough lately, isn't it? Compared to before, I haven't had a city-wide incident."

"... well, I got round to it too"

"I'm pretty surprised about you, Luminaria."

"Well, it's... it's a good reflection."

"Hmm... now I am. But forget it right away, I'm going to do the same thing again"

Oh, that sounds like a lot of talk.

If I can't tell you by mouth, can I prove it in future actions?

"Well, I don't think you're the one who's bothering me."

"... glad you admit it"

"I didn't even admit it... okay. No, not really."

... which way.

"Well, uh... the"

Reese coughs gently with Gohon to create a venue atmosphere.

... and.

"... again, it's nice to see you while your brother's away."

"Oh, this way."

You two, I decide to put it in words again.
