Fleeting

VTGWH 517

Now then, here we go! 

I inhaled slowly. I have no choice but to go under with this tense feeling.

The royal palace was covered with a magic barrier, but we, a member of the five great noble families, could easily get through.

The palace's security was too fragile for five great noble families, you know? But...that was just because of their trust to our families.

I will take full responsibility so as not to damage the na...

The army turned sluggish in their march upon taking in the tragic spectacle.

...that being said, in reality, nothing was burning.

Burnt fields and whatnot didn't exist anywhere.

The Barony of Skyte's forest remained lush with green trees, just as it was before the arrival of the Fire Fox.

The Empire’s 'sly and dirty, but effective' plan to ensure their side would suffer no losses fell apart as soo...

"...err... Let me explain it one more time, okay?"

Emma was troubled by all the twinkling worshiping gazes she received from the old men and uncles and attempted to escape from those eyes.

"It's fine, it's fine. We totally understand that Emma-chan is the Holy Maiden." The King laughed in gratification.

"No, uh? Your Majesty? Like I said earlier... Those burns were just an illusion th...

Yes, yes

It had been a little while since our trip to the Erlin Cooperative Union ended.

We were back to our daily routines again. Illuna and the others went to school while the adults spent the day taking care of Riou and Sakuya.

As for me, I checked on the pets, the dungeon, and occasionally checked on the demon situation in the Rogard Empire.

I would go on another trip soon, but for now, I would probably s...

Noa Tours the Village

[Noa PoV]

Yuna-san and Kagali-san went with Ruimin-san's grandfather.

I watched Kagali-san and Mumroot-san, and found their relationship mysterious.

The two were talking to each other as we moved to the village. I could even hear laughter from them from time to time.

Somehow, they seemed to have a relationship like longtime friends.

But the difference in...

Bear-San, Canceling the Contract Magic

After each of us had introduced ourselves, we were now walking towards the elf village.

"It's strange that a door can take us to a place that is so far away from the Land of Wa." (Sakura)

Sakura said as she looked around.

"I agree with that as well." (Kagali)

"I still can't believe it either." (Noa)

"I didn't know there was such a door."...

VTGWH 516

We stopped the carriage a short distance from the palace.

From here, we would each act separately. There was a useful magic that was activated when dark magic was used with each other.

That's right! It was a magic that allows us to talk to each other in our brains! It was not a well-known magic, and I had forgotten about it until just now, but I remembered.

[Can you hear me?] (Alicia)

I speak to the three brothers in my brain...

"Nee-sama... Can it be she is trying to... No, no, that's impossible to do, isn't it..."

William guessed what his sister was attempting and thought it would still be difficult.

However, Emma steadily progressed in her brainwashing(?) attempt on Arban.

"Yay, Uncle believes Emma! That makes Emma so happy! Emma loves Uncle sooo much!"

"But, this... is troubling, indeed."

The situation was grave. Even if the body were healthy, humans couldn't live if the mind were sick.

"William? Won't it be fine if we just tell them that it doesn't hurt?" George tilted his head in confusion again.

"People's subjective impressions couldn't be corrected that easily." William shook his head.

Bear-san and Everyone went to the Elven Village

We returned to the house with Bear Transfer Gate.

Shinobu had arranged for Noa and Misa's tatami mats to be brought to Sakura's house, so we put them in my bear box. By the way, Noa and Misa tried to pay for it, but Sakura didn't want to accept it.

"Come on, open the Gate quickly!" (Kagali)

Bear-san, doing Origami

After leaving the castle, we took a horse-drawn carriage.

After touring the castle town in the carriage, we returned to Sakura's house.

"Oh, you're back!" (Kagali)

Kagali-san greeted us with a cup of tea as we returned to our room.

"Kagali-sama, we're back!" (Sakura)

"Kagali-sama, are you alone?" (Shinobu)

Kagali-san was the only one i...

"If you show your back, you'll lose!" (Yuki)

I accelerated with a flap of my wings.

Then, from midair, I plummeted down towards the neck of the Gorilla Lion.

Enne's blade struck down with speed, this time firmly severing the bone, and its head slipped off.

The head fell off, and a moment later, the torso fell to the ground.

"I'm home!" (Yuki)

If the human army had to seriously challenge this monster, it would certainly be too costly. In fact, it was because of this reason that this monster was left unattended, and it was probably decided that it would be better to skip the area entirely, even if they had to take a longer route.

However, in the Demon Forest, monsters like this would only be considered a little weaker than the middle of the order. Weaker than one of my pets.

And apparently, this mon...

Work Hours

The day after everyone other than me returned home…

After just one more night with Enne at the hotel, I was flying on a military airship to exterminate monsters.

"...Military airships are cool? I think I like these better than the cruise ships." (Enne)

"I understand, Enne. It's cool, military airships." (Yuki)

The captain had formalized things during the night so that we could de...

"I will be happy if you can expand the airships' routes, but I do know that monsters are getting in the way. You've done me many favors, so if there are any monsters that are really troubling you, I'll hunt them down." (Yuki)

Captain seemed to think for a moment about my words.

"...To be honest, there are indeed such monsters. Some monsters have taken up residence in places which get in the way of shortest routes, so we had to take longer routes to avoid thos...

End of Sightseeing

Night.

"Whew, I'm exhausted from climbing all the stairs. My legs are tired!" (Illuna)

"...Hmm. But it was fun. It's great to go to different places together." (Enne)

"Yeah! It was fun!" (Shii)

The tour was over.

After sightseeing the museum, Yuki and the group went shopping and saw souvenirs on a different street than yesterday, took a walk in a large park...

Although babies still scurried around and occasionally became fidgety, they seemed to get back into a good mood when one of their mothers soothed them.

Well, Riou and Sakuya did not stop crying at all even when I soothed them. In fact, they would start crying even louder, so I was only allowed to carry them when they were in a good mood.

Seriously, I was not good at it when it came to trying to calm them down.

When I hold them and try to put ...

I mean, come to think of it, Sakuya got a significant cultural heritage that used to be in this country.

Not that this country owned it, but it was a relic that existed within the territory of this country. It was even from the era of the Gods, an era that could not have been any more important.

Hmmm... Then, I guess I have to do something to make up for it.

Of course, I would not tell anyone in this country about the divine sword or the exis...

Next day.

After breakfast at the hotel and morning preparations, we headed to sight see the remaining part of the museum.

This was the section of the museum I wanted to visit the most.

It was even more magnificent than the section we saw yesterday, taking up the whole of the main building and the annex. Layla apparently knew about this section, in other words, it was famous in its own r...

“Riou is a bit of a scaredy-cat, isn't she?” (Lyuu)

Lyuu, who came back to our place to check on Riou and Sakuya, said this with a wry smile.

“That's right. We should stay with them and teach them that going out is not scary.” (Nell)

"Well, as long as they have five keen senses, it can't be helped to a certain extent. When they grow up and get used to the noise, things will calm down.” (Lyuu)

I guess that's what you...

Layla smiled at my words, as if she knew what I was talking about.

“Yes, that's right. This is just a painting. A collection of colors, using paint. And yet, it somehow makes the viewer feel uncomfortable and uneasy... Isn't it a wonder what in the world is working to make you feel that way?” (Layla)

The tour of the cathedral ended as originally planned.

The girls enjoyed exploring the cathedral to their heart's content, while the adults sat back and relaxed.

When Illuna and the others were sufficiently satisfied, they moved on to the museum next door.

This museum was also large and spacious, and it seemed to contain a good number of works of art.

However, to be hon...

After separating from the adult group, Illuna and other little girls began to explore the interior of the cathedral.

An unfamiliar place. A complex, beautiful, and adventurous building.

"So, where are you and Sakura going now?" (Honoka)

"We are going to continue our tour of the castle." (Sakura)

Sakura replied.

"Well, then, I'll take over for Shinobu and keep the girls company from here on out." (Honoka)

Shinobu protested to Princess Honoka.

The princess appeared in front of us, and we introduced ourselves to each other.

She was the same age as me, or a little older.

Her long hair reached down to her waist.

Her appearance was a mixture of beautiful and pretty.

I could not believe that she had the King's blood in her.

I was convinced that she resembled her mother.

Big brother Albert looked at me with an anxious expression on his face.

Frankly, it might be too early to implement the plan, but I would implement the plan this evening.
