Chapter 22
Chapter 22: New Harvest
After helping the lycanthrope girl from the tree cage, we decided to return to Demon Castle .
The traps set in the dungeon and the heritage of the Demon King are amazing, but the monsters are still like usual, so the return trip is very easy .
“It’s already a good time . It’s dinner when we return to the castle . Sofia there is a secret menu in the cafeteria that’s nice for women, but I’ll tell you . ”
“Oh, thank you very much”
Liza and Sofía were talking without being alert in front of us .
Well, it was not a problem at all even in such a state because of the Legacy we only need to care about traps .
However, I had a personal problem,
“Um, Salamad-senpai? Why are you holding my hem from a while ago?”
The silver-haired wolf girl was walking while grabbing the hem of my clothes .
“No good……?”
She tilted her head with a faint expression .
“I don’t know, I wonder why?”
She has been picking with such power that I have difficulty walking . I didn’t understand that intention .
…… What is it? I feel like her eyes are fixed to me from a while ago .
So, when I asked, she pointed to her chest .
“I didn’t introduce myself . I was measuring when to do it . ”
“Oh, yes . I see . ”
Did she hold my hem for that? Speaking of what she said, was this sempai pretty bad or clumsy? But if I know why, that’s fine .
“Then, I’ll do it quickly, I’m the Chrono of the Devil race . You just introduced yourself . ”
After I spoke, she began to move her mouth .
“… Yeah, Chrono, thank you . I’m Yukino Salamado . Salamado is the name of a wolf clan, so call me by name or you won’t know the individual . ”
“Oh, then Yukino-san”

“Yeah … that’s fine . That’s good …!”
When I called her name, she moved her ears and tail . She was a poor talker, but her ears and tail made easy to understand her emotions .
I am grateful that she has such a demon’s characteristics .
“I mean, Yukino . Is your body all right?”
“I am not sure… I’m not feeling well . ”
Yukino couldn’t stand immediately after rescue . Now she can walk somehow, but she’s unsteady . However, it is rather fortunate that that is all .
“You were hit by that whip after you were washed away, didn’t you? Did you break a bone or something?”
“Because I am a lycanthrope, I have some regenerative abilities . However, after hitting me, the whip was kept in the cage all the time, so I didn’t have the strength . ”
The demonic feature of Lycanthropes is its transcendental regeneration ability . That’s why she’s still kicking .
I looked at my waist thinking that it was good for the demons who really had such things . There was her hand still holding my hem .
Or rather, her nose and head were rubbing on my body .
“Um, Yukino? Our self-introduction is over, but what is it?”

“…I’ve seen you move faster than I . Are you really a demon? It’s a strange way of putting meat all over your body . ”
She told me that the way I got meat was strange even though I’ve only lived normally .
I’m not fat, but I feel a little subtle .
“Well, what do you say? As you can see, I am a devil with small horns . ”
“Yeah, I understand . Excuse me for saying weird things, and I forgot to say, thank you for helping me, Chrono . ”
While thanking me Yukino bowed .
“Oh no, don’t worry . I went to Yukino because I wanted a lot of information . ”
” Is that so?” Then I understood that too . I owe you a debt of gratitude . I’ll give you back the favor you gave me once with information . We, lycanthropes return what we are given . ”
Yukino said, with a small smile and grabbing my hem again .
She seems to be a poor speaker, but her emotions are quite rich . There is also a childish feeling .
When I look at Yukino while thinking about such a thing,

“Chrono . It’s time to exit . ”
Liza, who was in the front, came running up to me . Then, when she saw Yukino caught tightly by me, Liza looked surprised .
“Oh? It’s unusual for the grumpy Salamado to look like this”
“Grumpy? Yukino?”
It seemed to be a poor talker, but I think she’s pretty honest, but is it different for Liza?
“It took me several months to get her open up . Well, it seems like both of us are already friends! It’s best to get along . ”
I felt like I got nostalgic when she said that it’s best to along with each other .
No, I do not know whether the expression that I got nostalgic because it is an older senior is correct . But I think it’s a good thing that we did get along .
“Well, everyone . Let’s go back to the castle, eat some food while writing a report . Come on, let’s go . ”
As such, we escaped the dungeon with the high-tension Demon King .
This is the third day after entering Dominators .
I took one of my seniors back from the dungeon and managed to return to the castle safely .
