Happy Wednesday!
Here"s the new chapter, I hope you enjoy. If you find any mistakes, please do let me know. Much appreciated, as always.
「Welcome back, Akira. Are you injured?」
「There"s no way I would be, right? Leaving that aside, just what is this….」
When I moved towards the people who were surrounded until just now while avoiding the place where the unconscious enemies were piled up into a mountain, and Amelia rushed over.
After that, the extremely sleek Yoru came.
The elven warriors, frightened, got out of the way, not because of Amelia pa.s.sing by, but Yoru.
Seeing that, I, without thinking, narrowed my eyes.
This guy, did it do something….
No, what did it do?
『I understand well what Master-dono is thinking, but I didn"t do anything?』
「Is that so?」
『Oi, you don"t believe my words, do you! However, it"s also a good thing that humans feel fear when they see me.』
I was somewhat uneasy about the villainous look on Yoru"s face (even though it"s the face of a cat), and when I confirmed it with Amelia, it pressed its paw against my cheek that was three times bigger than normal due it it changing sizes because of the battle.
Umu, it had a nice feel.
Let"s squish it together with Amelia afterwards.
「Yoru, don"t lie. These people, just collapsed the moment they saw Yoru"s face.」
If Amelia said that, perhaps it"s true.
How weak, the enemy.
We left the enemies to the elven warriors to deal with, as we had that conversation, William timidly approached while avoiding Yoru.
「Um, Akirdono, I have something I want to ask you, is it ok?」
He turned his gaze towards Amelia as he said that.
So he had to ask the person with the highest status, Amelia, first, huh.
What was the thing that a guy who always followed etiquette wanted to ask so much that he would go so far as to interrupt our conversation.
Amelia nodded, and William finally looked over to me.
「Um, is this Yoru-dono Akirdono"s familiar?」
「U–n. Are you?」
『I am! If you look at the crest on my forehead, and the crest on Master-dono"s arm, it"s obvious!』
I ignored Yoru who was roaring gao gao, and looked at William.
「It seems so.」
「Excuse me, but may I take a look at Akirdono"s arm?」
Something like a crest on my arm was very chuunibyou and although none of my acquaintances will see it, I was unable to lay it bare as I walk down the street.
So, my black clothes were always long-sleeved, no matter how hot it was.
I rolled up my sleeve all in one go and showed him the crest.
That crest was black, but it seemed darker than when I made a contract with Yoru.
「Th, thank you very much. However, as an elf, I live much longer than humans, but for me to be able to meet "the one accompanied by monsters" before I die….」
「"The one accompanied by monsters"?」
The chuunibyou-like names were quickly increasing.
I thought that, this kind of shame would normally be a.s.signed to the protagonist, but just where was our protagonist (the hero) and what was he doing.
Indeed, if we"re talking about that idiot, it would be hard to imagine him dying in some random place.
He probably left the castle, but because of that, I couldn"t really predict his where he will go.
「If I"m not mistaken, it"s an elven saying.」
『Aah, a long time ago, it was a phrase that indicated the abominable demons, but it"s talking about a person who was like the master of humans, elves, or beastmen who suddenly appeared.』
It seems that Amelia and Yoru understood the meaning of it.
「Normally, monsters are existences that are incompatible with people. It"s no different than not having any data on them. Because of "the one accompanied by monsters", there is potential for further research!」
Breathing heavily in excitement, William looked at Yoru.
As expected of Yoru, perhaps it too thought that it was unpleasant, he adjusted to a smaller size and jumped onto my shoulder.
「I see, Yoru-dono"s special magic is size regulation!」
He was coming closer as he made various wrong conjectures.
Certainly, this was unpleasant.
This guy, only thought about being praised by Liam.
「William, I understand that it"s rare, but can you not frighten our child?」
「…haa!! I"m so sorry! It"s something rare that I may never meet again, so I unconsciously….」
He was apologetic, but William did not look away from Yoru.
「You"re a man who doesn"t quite know when to give up.」
「It"s already an obsession, that.」
『I hate that guy.』
As it freely expressed its thoughts, the leader who I had been carrying on my shoulder finally woke up.
Now then, we"re going to start the interrogation.
If possible, I don"t want to make it a painful experience.
Let"s hope that he spits it out quickly.
