Chapter 174
Evening .
I had changed out of my swimsuit and went home when,
「Sui~」
For some reason the water spirit was sticking close to me .
「Umm…… . ? What’s going on here?」
I asked as my body was felt up .
「n, I think that, it felt different magic power, than usual so it was, checking . 」
「Felt different magic power?」
「You swam in the lake right? You probably, took in some of Katarakta’s, magic power . 」
「Eh? That happens?」
Well it was true that I had relaxed while being supported by Katarakta most of the time .
「Katarakta is close to being, a water spirit, and you played around with it . I think that the, water spirit might be, a bit jealous?」
「Sui~」
The water spirit spoke up and nodded as if agreeing to what Hesty said .
「I feel like you liked playing in the onsen . Maybe I should play with you there again?」
「Sui~……… . !」
The water spirit happily nodded at my words and let go of me .
「……umm, you mean like, the time when the onsen, exploded?」
「That’s right . It seems to like melting itself into the onsen water and changing shape . 」
It did that and we played together, but it ended up becoming like a geyser . The entire garden got soaked . At the time I was just glad that the clothes had been brought in before that…
「……I, didn’t think that was, playing, I thought it was some sort of, enemy intercepting system . 」
「Eh? Why?」
It wasn’t like a dragon had come to attack back then .
「The surrounding slime type monsters, approached you know?」
「…… . . really?」
「n, if you didn’t realize, then fine . When they got hit by the, onsen water, the slimes ran away . 」
Hmm, for such a thing to happen…
I didn’t realize at all .
Well, I’m glad it didn’t turn into a problem .
「The slimes are coming that often?」
「As expected, when they’re newly born, it’s hard to control . There are quite a lot of monsters, that have sworn allegiance . 」
Huh, wait a second . I just heard something new .
「There are those that have pledged allegiance to me? Are there any others than the Wolf People and Combat Rabbits?」
「That’s right . There are obviously, non-hostile monsters that came back, after seeing you . Didn’t you know that, they have been blocking monsters, that tried to intrude?」
「Really??」
I didn’t even imagine that such a thing was happening .
「Actually, why do you know so much about this Hesty?」
「n well…usually they come, while you’re asleep . I’m awake then . The monsters that are allied, with you, know that it’s dangerous when, you sleep, so they try to stop the others with all, their might . 」
Certainly I have an automatic system for repelling intruders in place for when I sleep, but I had no idea I had such helpers .
「…… . well, there are others like the, wild boar that are still hostile to you . 」
「Well, I think those guys are the type that charge in after seeing the red of the apples though . 」
But still, before I realized it I had some monsters on my side . I’m grateful that my defenses became easier to maintain…
「Aneue-sama, Anne is so sad that you left without saying anything~」
「A different type of intruder arrived . 」
「n, I guess so…… . you can’t stop this, one… . . uguuuu…」
Anne crushed Hesty in her hug . However, she wasn’t the only visitor…
「Haa……haaa…… . s-sorry Daichi-san . I tried to stop her . 」
「Yeah, don’t worry about it Manaril . It’s the usual . 」
Manaril had come as well . As they arrived…
「Master~ Dinner is ready~」
Sakura apparently finished making dinner .
Sakura carried the dishes one after the other to the garden table .
「Oh, it looks delicious as always Sakura, thank you . 」
「No no, today we exercised plenty after all . Go ahead and eat all you want . Everyone dig in . 」
「Thank you very much Sakursama!」
「Thank you for letting me partake Sakursan . 」
And so the Dragon Kings sat down as well .
More than half of the people at the table were Dragon Kings, but it was pretty normal so it wasn’t a big deal .
「Ok then, let’s eat while we decide when we’re going to the Fort City . 」
「Yay~」
And so we ate and made plans for the future .
