Yomigaeri no Maou

When the three of us arrived at the mansion, Lulu, Illis and Gran, my mother stood there staring at this one.

That's a gentle look.

Quiet and unshakeable as a sea of shame.

But Lulu felt an instinctive fear, that's why.

Lulu's mother, the media is definitely calm and gentle in character.

So I'm used to seeing quiet things, but I hardly ever say anything face-to-face that I did.

It is common to talk about things in a quiet, sober manner.

Yet only this time do they utter no words as one.

This is very dangerous, Lulu thought.

And you know what, that prediction falls.

Quiet, but with a voice that suppressed some emotion with reason, my mother told Lulu to approach.

"... where were you?

I thought Lulu wasn't talking about Yumis explaining it to me, but I guess that's not what this means.

I tell you to explain with your own mouth where you were and what you were doing, which is what I mean.

And Lulu wasn't so bad at guessing that he didn't know what that was foreshadowing.

"... hey, even the ruins"

I said it or not, my mother's flat-handed flies out of the wind.

Lulu perceived the condition with his sharp perceptual abilities, but avoiding this would not be tolerated in every sense, and Lulu received the flat hand spoiled.

Pan.

And there was a noise, and Lulu's cheeks hurt slightly.

But what was actually hurting me was not the beaten lulu, but rather like the beaten media.

After a flat-handed stroke, the media approached Lulu, slowly and softly hugging Lulu and telling him to whine.

"... dull, you did, right? I know...?

"I'm sorry... but I had to go. I knew it..."

Ordinary parents would say things like, don't talk here, don't say things that don't make sense, or whatever the hell you did where your kid went.

But the media tasted different around it.

"... yes. Then I have no choice... Mr. Grant, did this child help?

Suddenly they asked me that and it was a cluttered gran for a moment, but I immediately recovered and answered clearly.

"It definitely helped. Tomorrow, you will explain to the head of this village… discover the magic machine in the ruins of the village. That went into operation and tried to attack the village... it was there Lulu that stopped it. I might have had it for a day or so because there was a junction between Yumis, and I wouldn't have answered until the dead, but if I had let it go, one or two houses in the house could have been destroyed."

If Lulu weren't there, that would certainly be a good chance because Yumis would have kept building boundaries in the village and Gran would have crushed the whole demon-conducting machine.

Regardless of the rock giant (Lupes Gigantes), it could have been quite a hassle just flying about the demon cannon bee (Canon Apis).

In doing so, it would appear that all destruction took time.

Lulu said it was helpful in that sense.

The media nodded when they heard it,

"Really... good for you then. Worried I wouldn't bother you. I was studying martial arts with Patrick, so I was wondering...?

Tilt your neck just a little.

The media don't know what Lulu's exact prowess is.

I know it's not weak, because I've seen training with Patrick, but it just feels enough to actually look at the rock giant (Lupes Gigantes) and say it's impossible if Lulu is asked if he can beat it.

So I decided not to touch on that point in particular.

Gran also figured it out, nodding with Lulu and his gaze.

If you want to translate, you can just shut up, I know, I guess.

Then the media hugged Lulu for a moment, making sure he was safe and relieved, then he leaned his neck when he noticed the girl standing next to Gran and watching Lulu and the media.

"... oh, who are you? That's the first time I've seen it.... you're not from this village, are you?

To that question, Iris, who came forward grandly in the wind that he had waited, bowed deeply, and then said:

"I'll see you first, ma'am. My name is Iris. Translated, this time, in the explored ruins of Granma and Lulu, I kept sleeping for a long time, and you two saved me..."

Even said so, Illis next talks about himself.

The tone of it didn't stop again, and the emotions were strong, and the media listened well to its contents.

The fact that Illis once lost a loved one, that he kept following his enemies (hiccups), that in doing so he was to fall into a trap and continue to sleep on that ruin device, and that he already has no parents......

Hearing all that, the media, completely sympathetic to Iris, embraced Iris in tears, and said.

"Yes... it is. That was hard. If that's the case in that year... you don't have parents, you don't have anything to rely on... yes, you can come to us!

I came up with a good thing, that kind of mother's words.

I can't forbid to be surprised by the manipulation of Iris, who let him cut it out on his opponent without cutting himself out, but let me put it that far. Iris persisted.

"No, ma'am... I'm not going to let you save my life and give me even more clothing and lodging..."

I lay my eyes down in a gruesome way and say that, Illis.

The media has spoken to Lulu about whether he was even more struck in the chest by the humility of it.

"That's not true, is it? You want to live with Iris, don't you, Lulu?

"Huh? Ah, ah..."

What they say is a wish or a fulfillment, but it somehow doesn't fall to me that Lulu is the opposite of it, not in the form of pushing off the media.

Lulu nodded and expressed his approval because there was just nothing to disprove in particular.

"That's what I'm talking about... right, you're going to be our daughter? It's not that hard to adopt because you're a junior aristocrat... and you wanted your daughter too. After all, it's a woman's romance to want to put all kinds of clothes on a pretty girl. Right, let's do that. Iris, be our daughter, will you?

"Uh...?

Increasingly, Illis starts to realize that my mother's sword screen is going crazy.

Put it at home, until it seemed like Illis was expecting it, but he just didn't think about how his adopted son would start to say this.

"That's right. I like that. We only have one son... and you can have one daughter. When Patrick gets back, we'll talk about it. I'm sure he'll agree with you in two replies! It's so cute!

"Oh, ma'am..."

Even if Illis tries to stop him in the first place, the media won't work with him.

On the contrary, put your index finger on the mouth of Illis,

"You're not, are you? Oh... ah... sa ma. Yes, say it?

"Oh, my God..."

"Ahhh! You're so cute! Now you're our daughter!

Keep it up. The media starts turning as they lift Iris.

Iris looked at Lulu and said, "What can I do...?" but I couldn't help but say.

When Lulu shook his head and told him to give up, Illis dropped his shoulder disappointingly and gave up.

Watching how that goes, Grand,

"Well, aren't you glad? It's hard to get a position as a noble daughter."

"Maybe..."

As for Lulu, I find myself in an irresistible mood for the fact that he is likely to start living together with Illis in a slightly deviant way from his expectations.

"Anyway, now you're safe about you guys. I'm going back to the inn. And come to the inn tomorrow morning when you eat. I need to talk to you. I need to ask you something. It would also be in Yumis. Of course, the young lady of Illis is with me."

That's how Gran waves and walks towards the inn.

to the departing Gran, my mother held up Illis,

"Thank you so much for this time -!

And I was waving.

Iris was resting on her mother's chest, but it would be more of a mental fatigue than a physical one.

But from now on, Iris will be adopted, which means he will be Lulu's sister.

A former friend's daughter told her sister...

Does that mean your former comrade Bacchus is Lulu's stepfather?

Thinking about it makes me feel strange.

"Whatever, I'm glad we're all safe..."

So whine, the three of us go back inside the mansion.

That's how a long day ended.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

The next morning, when I went to the inn, Gran and Yumis seemed to have waited with their necks long, at the same time as I arrived,

"You're finally here."

And Yumis told me.

I can't help complaining about that because the media doesn't adore Iris and try to let him go, so I'm a lot late to leave the house.

Yesterday Iris was wrapped in a concealed, pitch-black dress made of demonic craftsmanship, but today he is dressed in the exact opposite bright color in his mother's hobby.

In an empty piece, that figure in a bright white twat wide hat is even really like a doll.

In that way, I wouldn't say that Iris looked so neat that he didn't fit, but when it came to the past demons tended to symbolize darkness and prefer black, or dull colors close to it, and Iris seemed a little embarrassed either because he didn't leak into the example and barely wore bright colored outfits.

Yumis seemed grumpy when Lulu arrived at the inn, but that thing seemed to have blown away the moment he saw Iris, because he was about to reach for it, all the while looking at Iris.

"If you want to stroke, you can stroke it."

said Lulu.

Iris is also Iris,

"... Really? Okay, I don't think it's very touchy...... go ahead."

And because it's something to take off my hat and offer my head to discipline, Yumis finally started and ended up letting me sit on my lap looking in a good mood.

A giant man and an elf woman face-to-face, plus a seven-year-old girl sitting on that lap or so.

I thought of a joke about whether I was doing some family interview, but for now Lulu decided to get down to business on the edge.

"So, what are we talking about today?

Yumis seems to be busy stroking Iris, and it was Gran who answered Lulu's question.

"Well, consultation... that's a question. First of all, you messed around with the Yumis junction, didn't you? Where the hell did you find out about that technology?

That was a question that punched the core in a nutshell.

That said, I'm not particularly surprised because I knew they would definitely ask me first.

Lulu says the answer he had prepared calmly.

"I don't mind telling you, but that's a very important secret to me. If you want to know, you can't talk unless you both take that vow."

As for Lulu, I didn't mean to lie or confuse him.

There was no particular reason I had to hide it, and I even thought I could tell you everything if you'd keep me quiet.

I have some anxiety about the part about whether you will really shut up, but there is also a solution to that.

So this is how I put it, but Yumis seemed to insult Lulu a little.

"Okay. Never (...) Say..."

That's what I said, Lulu, in response to that word,

"That's a lie...... for once, I'm telling you, I'm doing false-sensitive witchcraft on this occasion. I don't mind lying, but you know all about it, right?

"... eh, that's a lie, right? I don't feel magic flow or anything."

Yumis looks around in surprise.

"It's true. Then... answer and see if I can lie or be true to a question like this now. What's your favorite food?

"Meat"

"What's your best friend's name?

"Merliah."

"What do you want to be when you're reborn?

"Bird."

"... from the beginning, lie, lie, true, right?

That's what Lulu said slowly, so Yumis opens his eyes in surprise.

"You're really on... but you're not going to tell anybody, are you?

"You mean you're going to tell someone, even if you're not going to tell them, right?

"Right. We are adventurers. I'm obliged to report to the union president."

"I know how it feels, but I guess that means I'll tell someone eventually. Then he says he won't talk.... By the way, if you're going to talk, I'm going to do contract magic. If that's not the case, I'm not gonna say anything."

Gran, who was watching such interaction between Lulu and Yumis, told Yumis.

"Look at that. Take this guy... Think of Lulu as a regular kid and he'll fail. I told you to think of me as a rival."

"That would be Gran's impression, wouldn't it? I still didn't know what she was like. There's something I don't know unless I talk to you...... but, well, I get it. I didn't think they'd even bring it up to contract magic. I'm sorry I did something to try. Gran told me about yesterday, but I wanted to know a little deeper and your personality..."

According to Lulu's sensory magic, there seems to be no lie in the word.

"But you were willing to report it?

"Because it's true you have to say that if you ask. I just wasn't going to tell you as much as I could. Still, the union president has some power... so far as if he were to exercise it, you can never guarantee it until you say it. I think that's why the area got caught.... but even if you were willing to talk, I wouldn't have listened, would I? I'm interested... I asked the union president how to modify the procedure, and I don't feel like that would be the trouble if things went wrong. I'm sorry if I can do that, and if I don't hear anything, I don't have to report it."

That seems true, too.

"So you won't listen? Just ask me a question."

"I was going to... You can use contract magic, right? If that means tying it up, why don't you tell me? If you can't talk, you won't be able to fulfill your obligation to talk. Wouldn't that be nice?"

"I don't think it's a good idea...... is Gran okay with that?

Asking Gran, he shook his head vertically.

"I'm not going to tell anyone from the beginning. If you follow the rules of the union seriously, you may be obliged to report it... but after all, there's nothing to be gained this time. Isn't it okay to have a little report leak? Plus, Yumis even gave me a reason not to have to report it, and there's nothing wrong with that."

At the end of the day, that means neither of us is ever going to do that kind of duty.

Big and proper pair.

There seems to be nothing wrong with the impression I have had of these two people since the beginning of their coming to this village.

"If that's the case... shall we talk? Iris, too, okay?

"Yes, Lulu, at your disposal..."

That's how Lulu started talking to the two of them about contract magic.
