Chapter 59 (1/2)

To The Demihuman Country

“……It, it's tiring huh, Hardt-san”

“Aah, I didn't think that she'd actually hate it to that extent”

I sit back on the chair and sigh. Yesterday's Mylene was terribly intense. I didn't think that she'd actually hate to separate with me to that extent.

The night that I decided to go to the Demihuman Country. Naturally, there's no way I can keep Mylene in the dark and leave so I immediately talk to her about the Demihuman Country's current situation and the fact that I'm going there.

Mylene, of course, said she'll follow along, but it's just too dangerous this time around so I convinced her to stay behind……but, I was met with tremendous resistance. It's so much so that I can't put it into words.

When she hugged me saying that she didn't want to be separated from me, brought me into the room, and was about to tie me up with chains, as one would expect, I panicked. After that, I spent an entire night and was able to somehow convince her.

“Kuku, I guess that's how lonely Mylene is to be separated from Master. Didn't you use up all your luck as a man, my dear Master”

Liscia who sits beside me pokes my flank with her elbow teasingly. I thought for a moment to toss her head out of the window but, I somehow control myself.

Although she's calmed down when we depart, I'm still slightly worried. Perhaps she could tell that I'm worrying about Mylene, Liscia looks at me and laughs, ‘Nyufufu'. It's fine if I don't control myself, right.

“Waaa!? Wa, wait, Master! Ah, stop grabbing my head! My head is gonna come off!?”

I'm grabbing onto Liscia's head and Liscia is stopping me from doing that. After a while of this back and forth, Mars comes in between and stops us. s.h.i.+t, even though just a little bit more and I would've gotten it.

“Haa, haa……th, that was close. A little more and my head would've come off”

“I mean, I was trying to remove it. And, what's with that laugh just now? I'm gonna grab onto it again if you don't quickly say it, alright?”

“I don't have any strange intention behind it. It's just, isn't it great that you have a precious someone. Until recently, even though you didn't have any intention of dying before you finish what you set out to do, you were doing things that are quite dangerous. Like the bangle and the necklace”

……A precious someone huh. It's true that Mylene is my precious thing so I'd hate to leave her behind and die first. It's indeed as Liscia says if I think about it that way, but somehow it's irritating to have it pointed out by Liscia. I silently

“Wha! Why are you grabbing onto my head again!? St, stop it! It, it's gonna come offf!!”

and forcefully yank out Liscia's head. I pull it out with enough force to seemingly make a popping sound and grab her head with both hands. Her body is flailing her arms and her head is looking at me with teary eyes.

I make a broad grin and whisper by Liscia's ear. Thereupon, Liscia freezes and her face very quickly turns red.
