Part 7
Shirone, the one closest to me, is one of Reiji"s women. It doesn"t seem that the time for me to use it will come anywhere in the near future since I can"t even have a proper conversation with a woman.
Though my master often teased me with the 「Your wife will have hard future, huh」, I"m crying now since that future might not be possible anymore.
「No… Sorry for bringing out that painful topic. Moreover, it seems that I made you recall a painful past. That"s right, let me take you to that kind of shop next time」 [TL: Brothel][ED: Stop Hinting it! Children are reading]
Gallios"s words eased my painful heart a lot.
「EH!!CAN I?！Penerosan won"t be mad at you？ 」
Peneroa is Gallios"s wife. Well, does she know that her husband often goes to that kind of store？
「Ooops, that one is bad. Please just pretend that this talk never happened」
Tch. It seems I said some unnecessary things.
After that, Gallios and I left the hot spring while cracking these kinds of jokes.
We dried our body with the towel in the dressing room, wore our clothes, and then left the hot spring.
I"m staying in a house that"s slightly away from Gallios"s since yesterday.
Since this is my first contact with human society ever since I came to this world, I felt like staying in this city for a while longer and postponing the matter of round off matter of the horn of dragon king.
After arriving at Gallios"s home, his wife came out to greet us. Some time ago, I heard the fact that she"s Rember"s older sister.
「We"re back, Peneroa」
「We"re home, Penerosan」
Gallios"s wife, Peneroa is a gentle and caring woman and a person who gives you the feeling of simplicity.
However, according to Gallios, it seems that she turns into a scary woman when angry; I just can"t imagine this gentlewoman to get angry.
「Welcome back honey. My little brother is coming, you know」
「What？ Rember？ What"s the matter?」
Gallios tilted his head.
I also feel that it"s strange. We met him in the bar just now. Did something happen for him to meet Gallios immediately？
As we entered the house, we spotted Rember in the parlor room.
「I"ve been waiting for you, senpai and Kuro-dono」
It seems Rember had been waiting for us.
「What"s the matter, Rember? Was there some kind of situation？ 」
Gallios enquires Rember about the situation.
「In fact, a problem just happened. Thus, I want to borrow Kuro-dono power」
Rember is saying so while looking at me.
「My, strength？」
「The truth is, an urgent notice just came from the palace guard stationed at the rampart. It seems that flocks of demon-like things appeared outside the rampart」
「WHAT！？DEMONS? THAT"S STRANGE. ARE YOU SURE？ 」
Gallios-tachi has swept away the demons in this region by gathering freedom fighters three days ago. I had also lent my hand to them, so there should be no demon in the vicinity of the Rox kingdom. It"s way too early for the demons from a far place to reach here.
Even I doubt the judgment of the palace guard at the rampart. Since human eyes can"t see at night, they might be mistaking it for something else.
「I also agree with you, but… According to the palace guard, when they illuminated those flocks with lighting equipment, they determined that it"s most likely goblins or orcs」
There"s lighting equipment to illuminating for far distances by making use of mirrors in the rampart. Maybe they used that.
But, I heard that the orc settlement and goblin nest in this area have been swept already. Is that the truth?.
「How many of them? Are they injured?…. How many of them survived the sweeping? Those sons of a gun, even though the festival will start from tomorrow….」
Gallios smacked his lips.
I heard this afternoon about the story. There"s a demon clearance event in the vicinities of the Rox kingdom in order to ensure the safety of tourists coming to the city. But, it seems that some of them slipped out of the clearing.
「It seems that their shadows are still near the rampart. We are lucky because they"re not strong enough to climb the rampart. But then, according to the palace guard, the way those goblins and orcs are moving seems to be strange」
「The movements are strange？」
「Yes, so I"m thinking about taking a closer look since I feel uneasy about it. That"s why I want to borrow Kuro-dono"s power to use his Night Vision skill,（Dark Vision）」
「I see」
Gallios nods on listening to Rember"s explanation.
「What do you think about it, Kuro？ I"ll go along if you decide to go」
