The wagon shook.
“Gata gata~”
Maal and Irina were singing as they leaned out from the wagon.
Maal was describing everything to her.
For a Dragon like Irina, there wasn’t much of a difference between a human and a beastkin. Maal, who affectionately played with her, was simply her Onee-chan.
Inside the wagon, Serge looked through his grimoire, trying to master his Skills.
Ria, Carlos, and Lulu were all swaying on the backs of their horses and donkey.
“How did it turn out like this…”
She’d whined to herself many times now. As a reflex to her dark mood, Serge sang out, ‘Dona dona’. [1]
Yeah, she was sold by her own father.
Returning from the Dark Labyrinth, Vargas had become a hero.
Unlike the other members, Vargas’ wish was easy to be granted.
After that, Ria was caught up in a vortex of people similar to like what happened in Labyrinth City.
So Ria, who had returned late, talked about the villages working together for the Millennium.
One way or another, it turned into a serious discussion. No matter what though, whether they liked it or not, Jaeburg would become the front line of humanity when the Millennium took place.
During that difficult discussion, Ria had an even more difficult problem.
Matsukaze had been left alone for more than half of a month. Though there were of course other people taking him for walks, that was a separate issue.
She ran together with him in a nearby meadow, washed his body, and brushed him, taking up the whole day.
Then she exchanged information with Serge.
They would meet that sexy dark elf sooner or later.
Their plans hadn’t changed.
For now, they decided to return to Labyrinth City and collect some more information, as well as deciding on which day to leave Jaeburg.
In his hands was the figure of Shizuna, caught in his hands by the nape of her neck like a cat.
Vargas said that.
Vargas had already said himself that he wanted to take his family somewhere safe beforehand.
“Why me…”
Thinking about her safety on the way, there were no problems with Shizuna’s skill.
Above all, Shizuna was liked by Ria.
Hoping for his family to have success in life as an aristocrat, he presented the beautiful damsel to an influential person.
Vargas would actually hold out his beautiful daughter to an influential person himself.
“I didn’t think my father was a person like that!”
Though Shizuna wore a look of despair, her mother and younger brothers’ futures were serious, so she would go with Ria.
“Foremost, aren’t you happy that such a beautiful girl is wooing you?”
“From my point of view, you look like you are on close terms.”
This Oyaji… has some accomplishments in yuri.
At any rate, Shizuna joined as a travelling companion.
From there, they would head to Ogre Village and go around planning with its surrounding villages.
… And then, part with Maal.
That was the promise.
Still, when they explored the labyrinth together, more than her fighting strength, Ria genuinely needed her.
Under a travelling sky, swaying back and forth on Matsukaze’s back, Ria was a little melancholic.
“It’s alright. There’s no way I’d choose my own selfishness over Maal’s happiness.”
“You’ll stay with me for a while. In the future, I’ll look for a lot of cute brides for you.”
Ria was being uncharacteristically solemn.
The sun would go down before long.
There were mainly a lot of cat beastkin, but there were various races. Looking around, there were all kinds of nimble races.
“I’ve arrived.”
Confronting the young girl was a silver haired dark elf.
Though it was a precaution against being found when in human areas, the beastkin here couldn’t recognize this dark elf as Ray.
“So, can you do it?”
“What are you saying? Don’t be like that.”
She was her childhood friend. They had the same godparent, growing up as sisters. But their positions now were different.
In truth, she had come here to plead.
“Certainly, you’ve saved me.”
Possibly a race that was a closer existence to immortality than dark elfs.
Flaxen hair, blue eyes. You could see sharp fangs poking out from her pink lips. Her skin was pale, oozing a bewitching feeling.
“So, who should I kill?”
“No, wait.”
“We guide humans from the other side. Our race lives in darkness, you know.”
“It’s fine if I just charm them. Well, affected by my charm? Almost all men fall madly in love you know?”
“You’re noisy!”
Her followers behind her were also nodding in agreement.
“Ah, that so? That’s a relief. I didn’t want to sip some dirty man’s blood.”
The vampire moved behind Ray and looked at her back.
“Oi, Asuka.”
“Sorry, sorry. I was just kidding.”
“Really, cut that out. I want to be good friends with you.”
Ray smiled at her remark. It certainly wasn’t a lie. Excepting the Demon King that was her lord and godparent, she hadn’t shown interest in other men. She always drank the blood of women.
More than homosexual, she was bisexual.
