70 Episode 70 "Hegemony, Ing-to-Secret Meeting (Prepa... (1/2)

After leaving the sheep (Mayo) with Milva, we returned to Hazama village.

The shepherd left after us. He should have arrived at Milba's Castle by now.

By the way, the selection criteria were ”people who can stand being alone”, ”people who are not surprised by big eyeballs”, and ”people who are not afraid of 'Hey! but I heard that there were surprisingly many applicants.

It's like expanding the village by the size of the castle. Everyone seemed to be happy.

And so, after we returned to the village...

”Good work. You had a hard day. Liz, my brother.

It feels like the work is finally done.

Thank you for staying at home, Haruka.

I'm finally getting some rest.

Nothing had changed in the house I had returned to after a long time.

Children are gathering around the house, and the fence is acting as a gatekeeper to keep them company.

It's the usual scene of Hazama Village, with the ”soldiers of will” babysitting, carrying the luggage, and using the drying rack to move with the sun.

Is Yukino okay? You've been asleep since you got back.

”...... She's fine. I'm awake. Oh, my, my, my ...... master.

I heard Yukino's voice from my bedroom.

I turned around and saw Yukino in her nightgown just waking up.

Yukino, who had used too much magic in this battle, had been asked to rest for a while.

Thank you for your hard work at ....... My true master. I would like to thank you again for your time off. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's had to deal with this.

”......, what's wrong? What's up?

”That's right, .......

Yukino is looking at me with a look of envy.

You're the ...... true Lord who saved me in a previous life, right, Shoma?

...... That's right.

”You are the ...... Organic Dragon King who saved me in a previous life, right?

Yes, but please don't call me that.

Yes, but don't use that name. ...... I knew it when I saw it. I'm not sure if it's ...... embarrassing to confirm it again, or if it's ...... uncomfortable to look at Shoma-san.

I'm not sure what to say.

I'm not sure what to make of it.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm not sure if I've ever told Haruka that before. ......

Lysette is ...... looking away as hard as she can. You noticed that, Lysette.

”It's an amazing fate. ”It's amazing fate that you're Yukino's 'true master'.

Yes, that's right.

That's amazing. Why did you hide it from me, big brother?　It's a pity for Yukino-san.

No, I'm sure Shoma had his own reasons.

But you're still amazing, Yukino. I wouldn't even be able to face you if I knew that you were my dream man.

Haruka put her hand on Yukino's shoulder and said.

I can't face him if I know that he's the one I've always wanted.　If I were in Yukino's position, I would be thrilled just to make eye contact with you. I'd fall in love. I'd grab you and tell you everything I've been thinking about since my past life. But you don't mind, do you, Yukino? That's great!

”............ Well, let's see.

People from other worlds are different. Yukino-san. You're so calm. People in the civilized world are so calm. Sit down next to your brother, since you're here. I'll get you some tea. I'm sure there's a lot to talk about, so you can talk to your brother. Don't worry about me and Liz.

What?　Haruka-san!

Haruka, with his demonic strength, lifted Yukino up and sat her in the chair next to me.

I'm sorry. My Lord.

No problem. Nothing. ...... Just the usual.

...... awkward.

Just because I revealed myself doesn't mean that me and Yukino have changed.

I don't know. This tension.

”...... Wow, my Lord, Mr. Shoma!　”Organic Dragon King!　”Organic Dragon King, the deformed High King!　”The avenging enemy of the Goddess of Heaven, the Demon Dragon King Shouma!

”Why are you calling me by my alias?　Yukino.

I'll continue to do my best as Shoma-sama's subordinate!

You don't have to be my subordinate.

Yukino, you're too upset.

...... I was prepared to reveal myself to you, but...

But for me, Yukino is not a subordinate. To put it another way...

”We're like a ...... family.

”Family?

Me, Lisette and Haruka are brother and sister-in-law. I don't have a step-sibling ritual with Yukino, but we're from the same world and had a ...... memorable encounter, so I think we're like childhood friends. So, relatives. By this world's standards, we're family, right?

”Yes!　Yukino-Cloudy-Dragonchild is Shoma-san's family!

I'll be Yukino's guardian as long as I'm in this world. I'll be the guardian of Yukino as long as I'm in this world, and I'll take care of Lizet and Haruka as well as Hazama Village. That's it, okay?

As long as I'm in this world?

As long as I'm in this world. I'm supposed to return to my world after the war.

When I was summoned, the goddess Rukia said she would return you to the world after the turbulent times are over.

At that time, she didn't say whether I had a choice or not.

If the time comes and I'm forced to return to my world...

I might have to become a real 'enemy of the goddess'.

Well, what about Prim?

The harpies Leroy and Leroy took her to the harpy village.

I think he's being lectured by the elder Nanayla.

...... Oh, he's not back yet?

Prim's been wandering around King's Landing.
