“Then I will eagerly await your improvement, warrior.”

I went out for a bit and came back after having lunch with the King and taking a walk in the garden.

I had expected this situation from the moment I followed the prince.

I only wandered around for half a day at most, but after getting stopped here and there, I really thought that a room was the best.

Even though I like to go out and about rather than stay at home, I think I must have suffered a lot if I think like this.

“No, I told you not to do that… .”

The prince would get out before I could tell him not to say anything because he said things that were too burdensome to listen to. Furthermore, he felt embarrassed to step back with a kind smile on his face and say something.

“Sigh… .”

All the truth is gone.

The prince’s promise from earlier was not a lie, as the attention from women exploded along the way, making it difficult to respond properly. At first, he was nervous about talking to the king, but now he was even more afraid of the advances of women who were not even of marriageable age.

I’m a married man… .

I knew that if my wife, who was like a lioness, saw me like this, she wouldn’t let it go.

“… Just close your eyes and do it?”

It’s not that I didn’t have that kind of thought.

However, I rejected the idea of an irresponsible pregnancy, believing that it was a terrible thing to think about.

It was fine up until this point, but I suddenly started to worry that I might have suddenly left like Ollie because I hadn’t encountered any other party members.

Even though she was the princess of the Miochiya country, Millet and Amizel were both high-ranking figures in their respective organizations.

What will Millet do now? If he declares that he will rule the Demon Continent in place of the Demon King, will I be able to help him?

Now that the Demon King has been destroyed, it might be possible to become Millet’s assistant and bring back the Demon King’s army.

Even though Millet is comparable to the Demon King, there is a gap between him and the Four Heavenly Kings, but now that the Demon King has disappeared and the remnants are nothing more than toothless tigers…

“What did you do

“Eww?! Surprise!”

I wonder if it’s okay, my dear.”

They say even a tiger will come when called, but is this what the tiger was waiting for?

“Since when.”

“It was there before you came in.”

“… I see.”

Even though it was an allied base, we were complacent.

You didn’t even notice that it was there.

“Rather than that, you. Why don’t you tell her? What on earth are you doing?”

Oh, I think I’m alone in the room, so it’s hard to even vent my frustrations.

“I did that? I just. That, uh-… .”

You are asking a question that is really difficult to bring up.

“If you find it difficult to answer, I won’t bother asking.”

“… Thank you for your consideration.”

The word ‘consideration’ was funny to Millet, who had been waiting for me while hiding in the room without me knowing, but I wanted to part ways with her as a good warrior until the end, as if I had made a beautiful ending.

It’s sad that although we can think about sexual desires, we are in a situation where we can’t say them out loud.

“If you ever want to sleep with us, just let us know.”

“Cough! Ugh-, what the…?!”

Such thoughts were colorless and the dark intentions were revealed.

To be frank, the dream of becoming a hero in a fantasy world and having a harem with beauties has been a fantasy I’ve had for quite some time.

I had to give up my shallow desires because I had a purpose of returning to Earth.

“Since the main wife already exists, the number of second and third children is nothing more than a simple number.”

“Musun, are you making a sound…?”

He tried to pretend that he didn’t do that, but his facial expressions and actions were so unnatural that he had to deny it urgently.

“If you do it instead, I hope you will do it with all of us.”

“Haha, ha.”

With Millet’s “bash bash bash.” flowing laughter, it seems like any excuses about being a married man won’t work.

“But, did anyone else come with you?”

As soon as Millet appeared, I heightened my senses and felt two subtle signs.

“That’s right. There were more than one or two people waiting for you besides you.”

“As expected… .”

Millet, who had been opening her eyes sinisterly, said, “There are three.” As she confirmed it, two new silhouettes appeared. They were Miochie, who was shyly covering her mouth and smiling, “Woohoohoo.”, and Amijel, whose face was very red.

I was going to call you to discuss what to do since Ollie left the party alone.

Since everyone was already gathered, there was no need to call them to meet.

It was just the timing that was really confusing.

“The girl is so honored to finally receive the warrior’s baby that she almost breaks down in joy.”

“… What?”

I was trying to have a pleasant conversation to avoid the difficult topic of continuing, but when I heard the word “baby” from the princess’s mouth, I turned pale for a moment.

“Hey, warrior and Dodo sleep together… .”

When I tried to point out to Mioch what he meant, Amijel kept mentioning it, and the illusion grew out of control.

“Oh no! I didn’t mean it like that?!”

That’s true, but I had to insist that it wasn’t true just to avoid any misunderstandings.

“More than that, Amijel is flustered! Mioch! Where did you learn such words?”

“From Miss Ollie.”

“That bowman who was like a stone…!”

They say she is a priestess who received a divine appointment, but her choice of words was merciless, breaking the stereotype that she was an orphan.

“I told you I’m married!!”

What do you mean, beware of them?! You’re the seed of a warrior, so plant it in your field, and before the operation, you keep making painful confessions, and now you’re going around talking all over the neighborhood?! I thought you were reserved, but you girls talk a lot with each other?! I knew that the level of conversation between women could sometimes be high and mighty, with girl’s talk and housewives’ gossip…!

Even if it was Millet who had made things awkward by passing over my words that I had been talking about without thinking, when I saw traces of Ollie, who was usually not shy about using words, jumping out at another party member, I found myself muttering to myself at the absent party member.

“I know. So, the warrior just needs to make us pregnant, right?”

“So even if that goes against my Confucian ideology? How can you tell me to just sow seeds and go without any responsibility?!”

“Haha, you’re saying that too, warrior?”

“No, this is it! You guys said it first… .”

“Yoyoyo warrior’s baby, howoo.”

“Haa, what happened to that innocent Amijel.”

Millet was as active as before, and when he joined forces with Miocchi, he was eager to give me a chance. In addition, Amijel, who was blushing brightly, was on the verge of fainting. He even rubbed his belly with his hand, and his face looked like the expression of a pregnant woman who had become affectionate after having done something a while ago, which made me feel dumbfounded.

What should I do with the saintess making that expression?

Of course, the part about caressing one’s belly with eyes that awaken maternal love has something in common with the heart of a priest, but it was scary to see the innocent, who had been so innocent, suddenly smile with a look of desire overnight, “hehihi.”.

“Stop! Stop! This is going to be endless! We’re not at our leisure yet to be dragged around by these kinds of happenings?!”

Unlike before when he only had to deal with Mille, Miocchi approached him without hesitation and changed the subject. When he raised his voice and made a face, the girls who seemed to be waiting for prey also became quiet.

“Big, the girl got a little excited. You know, my dear, that the girl didn’t say this to tease you, right? ”

“The girl is just like that because she likes the hero! So please don’t be angry… .”

Millet and Miocchi suddenly appear in a humble posture, frowning slightly.

“Huh? I…! I think you two followed the warrior well! So please don’t think too badly of it, warrior… .”

Even Amijel, who had not said anything to me here, was watching me closely while supporting the two. It seemed like they had formed an alliance without telling me, but it wouldn’t hurt to be careful as Ollie had said.

Phew.

“First of all, in order to cast the engraving curse, you need to awaken the Light God, right?”

As the messy conversation came to a close, we quickly returned to the topic we had originally planned to discuss.

“That’s right! We have been blessed again by your consideration. Even though the priestess is not here, I’m sure she feels the same way as we do.”

Although I wasn’t particularly angry, Millet must have thought I had calmed down and quickly started talking to me in a more pleasant way.

“It’s awkward if I leave it too long, so let’s get to the point.”

Excessive praise was still embarrassing to hear, so they moved to the table to discuss what to do next. Millet naturally used his magic to bring up the audiovisual material in the center.

Every time I look at it, it feels like I’m looking at a status window.

I pointed out some of the unintuitive meeting methods in the past, and Millet accepted them and learned them well. Thanks to this, we can now hold meetings as if we were watching CG on Earth, or perhaps even more spectacularly than on Earth.

Magic is good, I guess.

After experiencing something more exciting than most blockbuster movies, I’m sure I’ll be quite bored when I return to Earth.

When Miocchi rang the bell, the servants who had been waiting outside came in and placed blank sheets of paper and writing utensils in front of the people sitting on the chairs.

“Mmm-. It’s delicious.”

“I’m glad it suits your taste.”

“If it doesn’t match, I’ll scold the chef.”

“Haha, no way, warrior.”

“Just kidding.”

“You too, warrior.”

A joke that was made while tasting a snack because he was bored. Even though it was said as a joke, it is common in this world to lose a job because of a single word from a higher-up.

Unlike how he would laugh and respond to my boring stories, Miochii would never do that, but it was common for other nobles to fire their subordinates, and in extreme cases, they might even take their lives like a scorpion.

Anyway, I looked around while secretly talking to the servants and they were waiting to respond without leaving. I knew that the response was to replace the paper and that there were other attendants who took notes, but it was mainly to fill the tea and refreshments.

“You don’t have to get wet this time?”

Normally, they would just bring their tools and wait outside, but today, everyone seemed determined to sit down.

“Yes, warrior. Our greatest goal, the Demon King, has been destroyed, and since they are all trustworthy, there will be no problem even if they leak out.”

“… Hmm.”

I feel uneasy about Miocchi’s explanation.

I wonder if they are being considerate because they feel bad about the fact that they have to wait outside, come in when called, take care of business, and then go out again.

The war was not over yet and there were many unknown threats lurking, so we could not let our guard down.

“Mioch, I’m sorry. I’d like to keep our meetings to ourselves.”

Although it was regrettable for Mioch who had put so much effort into the servants, he had to express his opinion firmly.

There were also some things I wasn’t good at conveying indirectly.

“… Is that so? I’m sorry, warrior. The girl lacks insight and failed to understand your deep intentions. I’ll make sure to do so. ”

What depth, even the king and the prince, and the nobles here, if I don’t put gold on my face, will my tongue come out? And on top of that, I keep bowing my head to make the listener feel sorry… .

In front of the servants, she was always humble and modest, despite her title as a princess. I didn’t notice it when we were alone, but when she was asking for favors in front of her subordinates, I couldn’t help but be cautious.

“What do you have to be sorry about? Anyway, I’ll ask you something.”

“Yes, sir.”

When Miocchi accepted my order and clapped his hands, the servants who had been listening quietly all stepped back.

I glanced at their complexions and saw that they didn’t seem to have any particular complaints. As a servant of the royal family, they had to naturally behave like this, so I’m sure they wouldn’t have any regrets about me.

“Then shall we begin the discussion?”

As I, the host of the meeting, took the initiative, Millet, who had been waiting, began to zoom in on the continental landscape he had created in the center of the table.

“The first priority we must deal with is to awaken the Light God. And the most effective way to do so is to gather the faith of the continent.”

It was a confident statement, having already shared the answer with each other through their mouths. It was a problem that had to be solved in order to lift the curse of the party members and return to Earth.

“As the warrior explained, the light that had faintly illuminated the continent has finally fallen asleep. So, even though the Demon King has been destroyed, it is difficult to say that we have achieved a complete victory. So the warrior will rest for only one day and discuss what to do next. If you have any opinions, please speak out without holding back.”

Millet made society smooth, so there was no need to add anything else.

Thanks to that, I can look around comfortably.

Millet was wearing glasses that he had taken out at some unknown time and holding a baton-like staff in his hand, and Miocchi was sitting with the graceful air of a princess until their eyes met and they smiled.

Then I looked at our innocent Amijel.

I almost laughed because he was so cute when he was diligently writing something on paper.

“Since I brought it up first, I’ll announce it first.”

It’s not easy to be the first one to step forward in a situation like this, so I had to take the lead.

“Ahem.”

A neck that is needlessly straightened due to the attention drawn to it.

It’s good to get attention, but since they’re all beautiful women, sometimes this kind of attention can be burdensome.

“There are four solutions I have in mind. First of all.”

The first step was to eliminate the remnants of the Demon King’s army and deal with the threat to the continent. It was the most difficult and time-consuming task, and there was the risk of having to cross over to Maluk, but it was still considered the most effective in bringing peace to the continent, so it was listed first.

“Oh, that’s something we can leave to the Allied Forces. Are you planning on going that far?”

“It’s just a plan. We thought that joining us would be the best way to eliminate the Demon King’s army with minimal damage.”

In fact, it would be even better if Millet became the Demon King, ruled over Maluk, and made a peace treaty with the Continent, but since it is a complex problem, I will bring it up only when I feel like there is really no other way.

Moreover, after all the trouble to get rid of the Demon King, I was worried that there would be a strong backlash if I tried to put a new one on the throne, so I held back on what I said.

This is truly a last resort.

“It’s right to completely eliminate the dangerous molecules, but I don’t think the girl will be able to join… .”

“Is it because of the power struggle?”

“… Shamefully.”

“Tsk, what a human being.”

Although she had a strange job as a Magic Princess Knight, her skills were certain and she was the best warrior in the royal family.

So, it is true that the royal family’s power was weakened because of the suffering of those who volunteered for the warrior party, even though they were beings that even the king could not dare to do anything about.

Just like Ollie, who went back to doing his own thing after the Demon King was destroyed, Miocchi will now have no choice but to worry about the royal family rather than the party.

“It’s a power struggle between continents… .”

With a force at the level of Mioch, signs of rebellion within the kingdom could be quickly detected, but unfortunately, there are many groups causing confusion not internally but externally, so they must move quickly.

Wherever you go, there are bound to be groups of people who make a fuss for their own selfish desires rather than gathering strength to overcome the war.

As ugly as it is to be human, I couldn’t say for sure that I wouldn’t be selfish in such a situation.

“Excuse me, what does that mean, warrior?”

Perhaps because he was originally a simple-minded Amijel, he didn’t seem to understand the conversation just now. He believed that doctrine was the basic nature of humans, so everyone thought so.

Especially since we’ve only seen them united and cheering each other on in the warrior party that will save the human world, it’s probably even more so.

“Hmm, how should I explain it… .”

Just as a toddler asks his parents the difficult question of how babies are made, I was at a loss as to how to explain it to the innocent Amijel, so I just opened my mouth.

But I think it would be too much of a stretch to just hide it, as it would be treating Amijel like a child.

In a world torn by war, I had to make it clear that I was protecting innocence, so I didn’t want to end up causing more harm than good.

“My lady, can I teach a little girl who doesn’t know anything about the world?”

I don’t know where the hell it is, but while I was wondering what to do, Millet made a suggestion and smiled. From the beginning of the adventure, Millet was in charge of explanations, and he was the one who answered the questions of Amijel, who had been feeling suffocated and had many things he didn’t know, under the pretext of protecting religion.

When I think back on the past, I realize that although Millet taught the innocent Amijel well like a teacher, there were times when he would tease the innocent girl and play mischievous pranks, and the corners of my mouth would go up without me realizing it.

Amizel, who realized that she was being teased, blushed like a beet and begged them not to do that, and Mioch would smile while watching the two of them. Ollie also stood there quietly glancing at us. Thinking back now, it was a happy memory, but thinking back, I wondered if Ollie was not a human but a Elementalist and thus did not get upset at the party.

“That would be great, but since this is a human physiology, wouldn’t it be better to ask Mioch for an explanation?”

No matter how wise and knowledgeable Millet was, I wanted to hear this from Miocchi, who had to solve the problem himself.

“You, you’re trying to divide it like that. I feel a little sorry for your teaching.”

When he was prevented from doing what he used to do, his facial expressions became more varied than before, and he looked as if he was upset.

“Oh, is that what it sounded like? If so, I apologize. I didn’t really mean to do that. Sorry, Millet.”

I wanted to hear the story from Miocchi, who had separate experience and education in this area, but I didn’t think Millet would take it as if he was dividing the demons and humans.

“Hehehe, just kidding.”

“Eek, then that’s fortunate.”

I almost became a demon racist.

There may not be any political correctness in this world, but it wouldn’t be good to force too much of Earth’s common sense here.

And I shrugged slightly at Millet’s joke.

“Uhuhu, I will explain it to you as the warrior suggested, Kio-san.”

“The princess is so, so, so… .”

Amijel seemed embarrassed as he tried to explain himself because the attention was drawn to him.

“Huh? Saintess, then the explanations I’ve given you so far haven’t been sufficient? That’s a bit disappointing.”

“No! That’s not it, Irona-sama! I just don’t want to bother Princess Lazelz because of my limited knowledge…! But that doesn’t mean I’m going to ignore what Irona-sama has taught me so far! Irona-sama’s teachings have been a great help to me, and if you can continue to teach me in the future, I would like to ask you to do so!”

Amijel’s tone became confused as he made excuses in a flustered manner. Now he understood why Millet was the first to tease Amijel.

“Kkulkul.”

“Woohoohoo.”

Nana Miocchi watched Amijel hurriedly explaining. Millet, who was also listening, barely managed to keep the corners of her lips from twitching while holding back the laughter that was about to escape.

“Wow, really… .”

We didn’t even realize that we were joking because Amizel was cute, and she kept looking embarrassed. She seemed to be genuinely reflecting, but I thought I was teasing her too much, so I was about to stop, but then I looked at Mille’s expression.

“Boohoohoohoo, Saintess. I hope you think of this matter as something we do because we love you. Anyway, for now, the princess’s explanation comes first.”

“Ear, you’re cute. I’m just a lowly servant of Piruora… .”

Bear, bear, bear

Even though Millet tells Amijel in a polite way that he is joking, he still fidgets and acts shyly for another reason.

In particular, when our eyes met, he hurriedly turned his head and let out a “smile-…!”.

Even though I saw you first, you act like this, and it reminds me of the shyness you felt when you first met, and you smile awkwardly for no reason.

“Is it okay if I explain, Kio-san?”

“Ah! I’m sorry, Princess Lazelz! I was so flustered that I kept you waiting.”

“No, Miss Kio. I was satisfied because I could see Miss Kio’s innocent appearance?”

“Ah, I’m glad you’re satisfied… .”

An attitude of not noticing even the teasing remarks and simply feeling relieved. It could be said that it is a bad taste to see an innocent girl being teased, but if you have experienced the aristocratic society since childhood, this kind of thing will be very minor compared to other aristocrats.

To be honest, I haven’t only seen good things while acting as a warrior party.

As I expected, the cause of the threat to humans in the human world is none other than humans themselves.

Who knew?

Even the current Demon King initially offered peace.

Of course, I don’t believe it outright, but it would be a lie to say that I don’t distrust humanity because Mioch personally kills rotten nobles every now and then.
