CHAPTER 85 – INSPECTION

「We’re here〜」

Being first, Nadia was in very high spirits.

Lunch under the bright sun, we have come to the gra.s.slands in the outskirts.

Me, my three wives, and with Balthazar, the five of us.

With the exception of Balthazar, we come here a lot.

Going for a picnic, sleeping in the afternoon, or playing with new magic spells.

Since it’s wide and open, convenient place, we come here a lot as a family.

And Veronica, recently, she usually goes here out for a walk with Coco/Mami.

I feel very warm seeing the appearance of Veronica going out for a walk with Coco and Mami with a leash connected to their wrist, so I sometimes follow them secretly.

Well, enough of that.

「O〜i, Nadia」

「What’s up?」

When I called her, Nadia returned with a trot.

「Why did you bring us here?」

「It’s for, Hacchan to practice controlling her powers you know」

「Control? Practice?」

「Un! You know, that sneeze. She need to control that right?」

「Ah〜, well, that’s true, that’s a little troublesome. I’d be able to react and protect when I’m around, but it would be the worst if I’m not around. It’s crude since its powers are dispersed, but its destructive powers aren’t that different from the first generation」

「Is that so〜?」

「You saw the mansion getting blown off right? And also, I feel like its strength is gradually growing. I guess that she’d be able to blow off a whole town sooner or later」

「As expected of the Demon King’s daughter huh!」

「I’m already the Demon King you know? Only Hacchan is still alive within Balthazars」

Balthazar said in a carefree tone. No, the first generation is alive in that s.p.a.ce though.

But well, leaving that on the sideーーDemon King’s are something like that huh.

「Then even more, you should learn to control it. To become Lucio-kun’s wife too」

「To become a wife?」

Balthazar tilted her head. She was still having a light and fluffy air.

Sylvia also soft and gentle, but it is a different kind from that.

That trait of Sylvia feels like peaceful and quiet, with a pinch of timidity on the side.

Balthazar’s fluffiness is like out of the world. Common sense would be hardly of use.

「Right, to become a wife. If you can’t do that, you shouldn’t become Lucio-kun’s wife」

「Wife……even if I can’tーー」

「Then, you can’t hold hands」

「I’ll become his wife〜. Even if the whole world becomes my enemy」

“Hmph”, with high spirits, Balthazar made a very lovely guts pose.

I thought that she had settled down overnight, but she’s still hung up on that huh. For some reason, she’s firmly determined too.

「I mean, is everyone, really fine with that」

「I think that it is fine」

The one who answered was Sylvia.

「Balthazarーー」

「Call Bal, Hacchan」

「……Ba, Balthazar-chan, I don’t know much about her, but I know that she has strong feelings to be together with Lucio-sama. I-I think that it is fine」

「That is exactly right. Leaving her on Lucio’s side would also be for the sake of mankind」

「It’s not something so difficult」

With a face full of smile, Nadia tapped the other two’s back.

「She really likey likes Lucio-kun, and she’s not a bad girl so she should be together wi

th him」

I think that, that’s too simple.

But, it looks like that was good enough.

Both Sylvia and Veronica, after getting surprised, they nodded with a convinced face.

「If so, even more……from how I think of it, is it not fine even if she cannot control it? It is something that would not cause any problem if Lucio’s around」

「That’s why I’m saying, there are also times when he’s not around right? What if, Hacchan is just like Sylvie who would wet her bed when Lucio-kun’s not around because she got sad, wouldn’t that be bad?」

「Waa〜! Waa〜! Nadia-chan, don’t say that!」

Sylvia waved her hands and was saying “Wa〜Wa〜”. She took a glance at me with a very flushed face.

I mean, well, it was like that huh. Sylvia’s habit of wetting her bed, I thought that it has completely disappeared recently, but she’s not completely out of it huh.

……un, this also love as a husband, I should make it as if I didn’t hear anything.

「I also, when I’m sad and lonely without Lucio-kun around, my head would explode」

「Is that not just a gag」

「Vero-chan alsoーー」

「What is it with me?」

Veronica glared at Nadia under a smile.

She’s facing Nadia so I couldn’t see her expression, butーーI felt cold.

s.h.i.+vers were sent to my spine.

「……it means, Hacchan needs to train!」

Ah! She diverted the conversation.

Nadia, she’s probably having a cold sweat.

I don’t know what she was about to say, but, un, it’s for her own sake to say nothing more.

「Lucio? Right now, did you hear anything?」

「N-No, nothing at all. I just suddenly felt my ears hurt and couldn’t hear anything」

It’s also for my own sake to not ask anything, un.

The conversation’s divertーーreturned to Balthazar.

「If that is so, you want to overcome it?」

「Ye〜s」

「By the way, what magic was that? That sneeze. If I knew what magic is it, it’s possible for me to pin point it and seal it」

「Bal, she doesn’t know how to use magic?」
