A Ruthless Battle Between Husband and Wife

I said to my wife, Lefi, "Don't mess with me, that was my donut."

My wife Lefi said, "You don't usually eat sweets anyway, right?"

I replied, "I was in the mood for a donut today, I was looking forward to it!"

My wife Lefi said, "Then why didn't you write your name on it?"

No matter how much of a wife she was, I couldn't tolerate this kind of tyranny.

Evil must be punished by justice, and justice w...

"So, I mostly train and develop the next generation. I train new Holy Knights, soldiers, and sometimes adventurers, but most of them are older than me, so I have to be careful. Well, I've gotten used to it now." (Nell)

"...Nell is now the one giving others training." (Yuki)

"Haha, I think it's weird as well. Sometimes I wonder if I'm really fit to be in a position to teach others, but this is a duty." (Nell)

Relationship with Nell

"--I'm home, everyone!" (Nell)

With a bang, Nell, who had just finished work, came back, opening the door with a cheery voice.

"Hey, welcome back!" (Yuki)

"Welcome back, Nell. You've done well at work." (Lefi)

"Welcome back, would you like some coffee? It will be ready soon." (Lyuu)

"Welcome back, dinner will take a while." (Layla)

"My love for you is nothing compared to the love I have for Riou and Sakuya. Don't get too carried away!" (Lefi)

"If I have even a tenth of the love you have for these children, I'll be very satisfied. You are more loving than anyone else...more loving than the mountains that pierce the clouds in the Demonic Forest." (Yuki)

"You think so?" (Lefi)

"Yes. I've been watching you for a long time, and I can tell you that. There's no doubt about it." (Yuki)

Afternoon

--One afternoon.

I was relaxing at the inn with Lefi and Sakuya.

We looked at the sleeping Sakuya and lay down next to him.

We weren't taking a nap, but our heads were resting on the tatami mats.

I looked at my child and wife.

Sakuya was sleeping peacefully and cutely, and Lefi was gently stroking his head.

Although Sakuya wasn't as big as Setsu, who had grown so quickly, Sakuya was also growing rapidly and the day when he w...

Bear-san Encountered an Ice Dragon

"Is this the end?" (Kagali)

"At least there is no golem left around here." (Yuna)

I could still see some of them in my detection range, but they were not coming here, so it was a good time to stop.

If they got close, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear would let me know.

"Kagali-chan! Amazing." (Lize)

When Kagali-san and I returned to the Bear Bus, Lize-san hugged Kagali-san.

"Are you hurt?" (Lize)

Bear-san Drives her Bear Bus

Bear Bus ran towards the mine.

"This blizzard seems to be the work of the dragon." (Kagali)

Kagali-san looked towards the mountaintop.

A white mist like lava was rising from the mountaintop, and it was flowing over the mountain heading towards the town. It was becoming a blizzard.

"So, it is an ice dragon? Can it do something like this?" (Yuna)

Bear-san and Lize-san meet the Families

Lize-san, who crossed the gate using the magically created stairs, turned her eyes to the garden.

"It hasn't changed much." (Lize)

"That's right." (Bollard)

Lize-san and Bollard-san looked sadly at the frozen garden.

Perhaps it was filled with memories of their family and friends.

The frozen garden looked beautiful to me, but to them, it should be a sad sight.

They slowly came to the entrance, l...

I can only wait for Julie-sama to say something next.

In this silence, there is a sense of tension that even breathing is not permitted. I have no idea what she is thinking right now.

"Is your purpose to burn down the royal palace?"

I didn't feel any anger in that question. I was just asking a question. …It's about time she turned to me.

"...for the murder plan."

I didn't say "who." I thought that this word alone would make her interested in me, so I asked.

Bear-san went to each House

"Please let me know if you need anything else." (Yuna)

I gave them some spare water and fire magic stones for the bath.

"Thank you. I've got enough here. But..." (Bollard)

Bollard-san and the others looked at each other.

I wondered if there was something they were having trouble saying.

Maybe they wanted me to defeat the ice dragon?

If I tried hard, I might be able to do something, but I couldn't be sure un...

The speed at which the door opened felt slow, like slow motion.

I felt like I was standing in a space I had never felt before. …The quality of the dignity was overwhelmingly different from the people I had met so far.

I didn't feel the slightest bit of welcome.

…Alicia, this is a formidable opponent. I knew it wouldn't be easy, but I was scared to go before someone for the first time.

I was able to do it confidently in front of the king, but the way he puts pressur...

Bear-san Enters the Mine

We decided to discuss our prospects a bit more. After some brainstorming, I decided to take a look inside the mine.

There may be something else we could do aside from making a bath.

Regardless if everyone continued to live here or went to another town, we needed to improve the current situation.

"Inside the mine? That's fine, but there's nothing there." (Bollard)

"You have the huts to use, but you all live inside the mine...

We decided to head to the mines to meet the other survivors.

"The house..." (Bollard)

Bollard-san and Lize-san were surprised when I put the Bear House back in the bear box.

"It's a portable house." (Yuna)

"So that's why the house was placed in the middle of the road." (Lize)

"But an item bag that could fit such a big house..." (Bollard)

They looked at the White Bear puppet curiously as I made its mouth chom...

Bear-san, Listening Part 2

While watching the two of them engrossed in eating, I thought about what to do next.

A dragon, huh?

"Kagali-san, do you know anything about that dragon?" (Yuna)

"You think I know everything, don't you?" (Kagali)

"I think you know more than I do at least." (Yuna)

I thought Kagali-san, who had lived in this world for a long time, knew more than I, who came from another world. And even though she looked like a young ...

[Ali! Are you okay?] (Henry)

Big Brother Henry's voice echoes in my brain as I walk down the first path I take in the royal palace.

[It's all right. Leave the rest to me.] (Alicia)

Now that I've been captured safely, I have to leave the rest to my own abilities! 

You may be thinking, "Is there such a thing as an insurmountable situation?".

I do not resist, and the guards grab my arms from both sides.

Standing in the distance, Julie-sama looked at me with sharp eyes, turned away and walked somewhere.

...It was good that I made this plan and met Julie-sama safely. But I could get sanctioned by her safely after this, right? 

With a touch of apprehension, I continued on my way.

My favorite voice of all calling my name. I glance over to the owner of that voice.

Prison of Terror [Part 3]

"Mr. Evan, sorry to bother you late at night. I have a few people I want you to look after for a little while."

Joshua glanced at a carriage parked neatly in front of the gate.

"Hoh-hoh... I see...?"

Sturdy Kingdom knights surrounded the carriage Joshua pointed at with his eyes. 'This must be another occurrence of "something or other happening without you knowing it" that Mrs. Martha talked about,' Evan instantly...

Joshua got off the carriage and held the approaching knights at bay.

...Well, a monster this size would usually be scary, right? Now that I think about it, I would have cried and run away if it had been me in the past.

Ah, anyway, this monster certainly seemed just right for me.

It's by no means weak, or rather, it's probably quite strong, but Enne and I could defeat it without any problems now.

"Uh, it's been a while since I've had a real battle, so let's warm up!"

Adjustment

--The Demon Forest.

This place used to be just terrifying to me, but now I'd even grown fond of it.

This place was completely unsuitable for human habitation, but it's now my only home.

Even if I were told I could move the dungeon to another place...I probably wouldn't.

The saying goes, "wherever you live is your home."

That said, the threat of this forest was still very much alive and well. Especially in the western area, there ...

Researching ruins in this world must be really hard.

If it was in a remote area, it was probably difficult to get food, and it was most likely a life-threatening situation.

I might end up spending my days like a certain professor who hated snakes and used a whip.

A man in his late 30s and a girl around 15 years old appeared before us.

"Who are you? Where are you from? And what are you wearing?" (???)

The man asked suspiciously.

It was no wonder he was suspicious of us in this situation.

After all, we looked suspicious.

I was dressed as a bear, and Kagali-san was wearing traditional Japanese clothing. Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear were standing behind us, and to top it off,...

The crater in the ground looked like a large footprint.

But it was not good to jump to conclusions. It might just be a coincidence.

But that part certainly looked like three fingers.

The Door that Illuna and the others used to return to the dungeon was built very close to Eldogalia and Emyuu's house.

Illuna and the others had started going to school.

Today, they went to the Sheep Horn Clan village and spent the day there.

They had already gotten used to it, and now they often went out on their own instead of acting as a group of six.

Well, the wraith girls were still floating around in groups of three, but Illuna, Shii, and Enne had gotten to the point where they often wander around Sheep Horn Clan village on their own. View Post

Her sense of self was just beginning to take shape, and all she could think of were vague, primitive emotions.

Hot and cold.

Fun and not fun.

Full and hungry.

Worried and unworried.

Relieved and scared.

That was all she knew.

She had only just come to understand the bare minimum and basics of being a human, and she didn't know anything more.
