chapter 45
45 – 6. Monbungi and Monberry commotion (2)
Because of that kind of relationship.
“……”
I could see ears resembling those of a horse, one of the characteristics of the beast world, fluttering vigorously.
The well-braided tail seen behind Lilia’s back was also swishing busily.
Boom, boom!
As a born SR-class, that is, a warrior type who stands in the battle line, the striking sound coming from Lyria’s tail, which seemed to be swinging lightly, was making a sound worse than that produced by a sword wielded by an ordinary knight.
‘It’s dangerous.’
Werewolves, demons, and other beastmen belonging to the ‘dog’ family, including the canines called Kobol by monsters, say ‘I’m excited!’ when their tails are wagging busily like that. Good mood! It meant ‘Heehee!’
When the beast’s tail is wagging, the meaning is slightly different.
I was angry.
It’s embarrassing.
In any case, it can be said that when emotions are heightened, one becomes shaken.
Although the ‘dog’ and the beasts’ tails were the result of heightened emotions, the current situation could generally be seen as dangerous in that the results were different.
However, at least from Lyria in front of me… I didn’t feel any ‘danger’ in the current situation.
The reason was simple.
The reason why Lyria was acting like that right now wasn’t because she was angry.
“Lilia.”
“Ugh, why, why are you doing that?”
When I called, I saw Lilia answering, scratching the ground as if she was being shamed.
I could see the tail swishing a little faster, and the two ears that started to make a buzzing sound like the tail due to fluttering faster.
First of all, let’s find out why Lyria is like this.
The fact that she had broken the ‘rules’ without even knowing it must have seemed like such a thing to Lilia and to her ‘chivalry’.
You may be feeling ashamed because of that.
In fact, knights do not always live by honor and rules, and like all people, they sometimes bend, and sometimes waver and flutter.
It’s all about saving people’s lives, but it can’t be like that.
I knew it well because I was also a driver.
However, the ‘princess knight’ in front of me, Lilia, didn’t know that.
She was a girl who innocently admired her ancestor ‘in the story’ and the first princess knight who shouted ‘Kuh, kill’, the origin of the beast world, so she cosplayed as her.
In fact, he wasn’t even a knight.
Although she is a princess.
In other words, all I had to do was target the ‘innocent princess’ who admires the ‘princess knight’ and doesn’t know what’s cool yet.
Matching what I ‘admired’ with in moderation.
So, I thought of a simple way to solve this situation.
at first.
“…It looks like he went into the forest.”
First, sort out the situation.
Lilia opened her eyes wide at my words and said.
“Huh, how did you know?”
“Well, since I came out that way, I can’t help but know.”
“ah…”
Lilia scratched her cheek with an embarrassed face.
The fluttering and buzzing accelerated as he felt slightly embarrassed even thinking about it.
anyway.
‘Forest’ connected to the back corner of the training hall
Even in Monaka, this place was no different from the ‘magic scene’.
There was no particular reason.
That happened thanks to something in that forest.
Anyway.
“That forest has a characteristic that disturbs the sense of direction of those who enter it. So… it’s no wonder you got lost. In fact, I also have a hard time finding my way in that forest.”
I reduced the situation Lyria found herself in to the category of mistakes that can only be ‘understood’ by the other person’s mistakes.
It is clearly true that Lyria broke the ‘rule’, but they are making her aware that it is a ‘mistake’ that anyone can make and pulling her down.
then.
Voila.
“…Is that something like that?”
You can see Lilia’s expression slightly relax.
The tail that was wagging busily and the ears that were fluttering seemed to have calmed down a bit.
You can see Lilia’s expression noticeably relax just by learning that she ‘stupidly’ made a mistake and did not commit rudeness.
This was a tactic that worked well even for the ‘knights’ who had just become knights… who had joined the club while still admiring the ‘knights’ in the story.
I sympathize with the mite drivers whose complexions turn pale after making an accident and say, ‘Oh, that’s right, I’ve had that happen too,’ and their expressions lighten up just because they made a mistake that everyone has made at least once.
“So if you want to take a walk in the future, it would be best not to go into that forest. This mistake… You probably don’t know much about this place yet, so let me understand. ”
It’s true that you made a mistake, but it was a mistake so I’ll forgive you.
Lyria’s ears perked up as she paused at those words.
The tail also stood tall and stopped.
“B-but.”
Of course, this alone will not be enough.
In particular, I knew very well that there are kids who like to follow rules, even to the point of being old-fashioned.
So, drive a wedge here.
“However, breaking the rules is breaking the rules. “As punishment for trespassing into an unauthorized area, you will be given 1 penalty point.”
At my words, Lilia, who was scratching the floor with her legs as if she was scolding, soon lowered her head and said.
“…Right. I get it. I’ll be careful next time. And… I will thank you for overlooking my mistake this time. teacher.”
…No, you gave me 1 penalty point according to the regulations.
You didn’t really look at it?
However, I decided not to show that.
“okay.”
He nodded bluntly.
By the way, I hope you will be really careful in the future.
If I suddenly pop out there too… honestly, I think I’d be a bit surprised.
The reason why that forest is a ‘magic landscape’ is not just that when you go inside, your sense of direction becomes strange… On the other hand, there is also the fact that it is difficult to read the ‘signs’ of those inside from outside the forest.
It wasn’t long after I sensed Lyria’s presence that she came running out of the bushes.
If I had been a little late, I would have caught Lily, who was sucking her finger while making noises, which was a bonus.
Maybe… if that was the case, I roughly expected what would have happened.
‘Papa, pa pa pa pa shameless! Papa, shame…! Shameless, shameless…!’
Lyria, who was so excited as she was doing this, must have been flapping her ears and tail wildly and lashing out the rapier she was still wearing at her waist.
Of course, that wouldn’t have done anything to me.
Lilia was also born in the SR level.
It was a character that would become ‘national level’ when it reached the final level, but now it is still a mite.
I may win later, but I can win now.
This was especially true because I had been made to read a lot of books for the past three days, so my ‘intelligence’ was only slightly developed.
However, let alone winning, it would have been inevitable to deal with the aftermath.
I’ll have to do various things to silence you about Lily’s.
The best way to silence her would be to sign a ‘ministry’ contract with Lilia, just like Liline.
“……”
When I thought about signing a ‘ministry’ contract with Lyria, one of Lyria’s endings came to mind.
It was not specifically an ending unique to Lyria, but a common ending that applied to all other Monaka’s ‘Sumas’, and it was the ending where she became the ‘lord’ of the Suma’s.
Here, unlike a real horse, the master meant a being that the Suma tribe, who considered it an ‘insult’ to ride someone on their back, obediently allowed them to ride on their backs.
The ending conditions are likability and likability, but it can be seen as a special branch ending that only opens when respect or ‘loyalty’, a special stat unique to the Suma tribe that is created through several events, is above a certain level.
If I sign a ‘ministry’ contract with Lyria, I will probably meet some of the conditions to see that ending.
As it is a ‘ministry’ contract that is no different from a kind of ‘master-slave contract’, the reality is that there is no status window or information window, so even if it cannot be clearly confirmed, new loyalty and other stats will be created as special conditions are met.
However, I had absolutely no desire to see that ending.
There was one reason.
‘He’s a devil.’
In my previous life, I was a Monbung with a broken head who had licked Monaka all the way to the bottom.
Of course, I’ve also seen the ending where he becomes Lyria’s ‘master’.
And I also collected the CG from that ending.
The ending of ‘Teacher’ where he is riding on Lilia’s back and is gagged by her.
right.
As for this ending, Monaka later said, ‘Why is such a sensational game worth 15 gold!’ It was one of the so-called ‘devil’ series endings, which was one of the reasons why Monaka, who was punched and ended up being banned from use by minors after being punched and given a ’19+’ rating, was let go of his reins and went on a wild rampage.
Considering that Liline’s ‘ministry’ ending is also an ending belonging to the ‘demon’ category… I had no intention of adding one more here.
“…teacher?”
“hmm. “I have something to think about for a moment… I don’t have time… It’s time for class soon, so let’s go back quickly.”
“Ah… I see.”
“By the way, you can just go out there.”
Lilia slightly lowered her head as if to express her gratitude for my words, and then walked away in various directions.
At the time when Lilia turned into a small dot and disappeared.
“…Now that I’m gone, get up.”
Since Lillia had gone too, I tried to tell Lilly to go and get ready for class, but there was no response.
“…Lily’s?”
Again, he called out my name and said, “What are you doing?” and then looked down and stopped.
“Seup, seeueueup… Seeueueup…♡”
I saw Lily’s body trembling with her mouth desperately covered.
“…Lily’s?”
The situation seemed very strange, so I called again, and only then did Lily’s eyes turn towards me.
Vividly, I met two eyes that had turned red.
“…Are you okay?”
No matter how I looked at it, it didn’t look particularly good, but when I asked that question and stretched out my hand, Lily shook my hand away with a thump.
yet.
But I wasn’t particularly surprised.
I couldn’t be surprised.
That’s because he shook my hand away, and Lily, who had shaken it off, was looking at her hand with an even more prickly expression on her face.
…For some reason, my hands are very wet.
“…If it’s not in good condition—”
I was going to say that I would at least take her to the nurse’s office, but before I could, Lily’s sister struck me.
Sigh!
Liline said as she spread her wings and floated away.
“I, I, I’ll just go, teacher…!”
Even though ‘feeding’ isn’t over yet, they’re probably hungry.
When I saw Lily fly away with a sigh, I saw her.
I looked at my hand that Lilyne had shaken off.
“…It’s wet.”
Of course, it wasn’t just my hands that were wet.
“……”
The spot where Lily’s had been squatting just a moment ago was also quite wet.
It was Lily’s who left a big trace of having ‘ate’ today as well.
Well, as I said.
Today was already the third day.
I went to get the shovel that had been parked in the corner of the training ground designated as Lily’s ‘feeding area’.
