Vol 4 Epilogue (1/2)
Epilogue: A step to the beyond
After that
Around teeks have passed since the first and probably last incident where the ghouls in toere turned into zombies
What do I say?… As I’ve been here at the Netherworld for a long time, I’ve lost my sense of reality
We… Who cares!
According to Lilith-san’s report… It’s been decided that at last we can return to the human world
It see to the human world, the International Monster association plans on lending us all-out support to protect me from the Black Tamers
According to Lilith-san
The person entrusted with guarding me has been deemed the ht, but… What kind of person is that guy?
I ended up hoping to return even a second earlier to the human world
Time to set sail
In order for us to get on board of the high speed yacht that Lilith-san had chartered, ent to the harbor area
“Oneesama Chiharu-sama… Please take care”
“Yup Aruru… Thanks for going out of your way to send us off”
When I conveyed to herher head,
“… F-far from it!
Chiharu-sahouls! It’s impossible for a princess of this country to not come to send you off!
Really… Really… No h…”
“…”
How do I put it, well… It’s come to that
Having freed the continent of Living Lodge froht, I came to be treated as the man of the moment
It seems that, due to this time’s incident, the anti-huhouls has lost ihouls from the pro-human faction are in rapid increase
“E-er us… Well, thanks”
“Yup Take care, you too Meruru!”
“Hyau!?”
Even though I planned to pet her head as a parting gift, Meruru swiftly brushed off my hand and hid behind Aruru
“Ufufu Meruru is not honest”
“…”
I’d say that, since the incident, Meruru has gone through a sudden change
Specifically, even e are together, she doesn’t bite rown distant with me…
“… Chiharu-kun When Iso unkind
I know that it’s ihter… Please take care of her”
“That… Not at all! Please raise your head!?”
Noof a country bow to me doesn’t sit ith me
“We were mistaken with you
Those hatefulhumans there onderful youths like you… I realized with this incident”
“… Is that so?”
I can’t express it before Satosu-san, but…
The ones in the wrong, were they just the Black Tamers?
Ever since the end of the other day’s battle, that doubt started crossing my mind
Things are not that simple
It was for a short ti to the Netherworld, it made me come to a realization
Monsters and humans
IMA and Black Tamers
The probleined
The one who can mediate between humans and monsters… Ain’t it just me, a chimera of those two…?
Curiously, lately I’ve been struck by that sense of duty
Why is it?
According to Lilith-san
In normal circumstances, it seems that there’s absolutely no way that a chimera between human and monster is born
Could it be that, unexpectedly, there’s a reason I’ve been born into this world…
Whaaat, surely I’s?
“By the way, Chiharu-kun I need to consult it, but… Can I ask just one thing of you?”
“… Yes What is it?”
Satosu-san, with stern demeanor, “ahem”, cleared his throat,
“To me, so as frohoul clan deepens, it would mean much if you, by all means, joined our household”
“… Y-yeah?”
“Chiharu-kun What do you say? My daughter?”
“…”
I-I don’t understand
What’s this guy spouting all of a sudden?
Besides, the one more flustered than me was Zonmi
“F-f-f-f-father!? What are you spouting all of a sudden!?
Whatever … It’s still too early!”
“That’s the problem!?”
In other words, co to marry me?
“Chiharu… Do you hate it? Marrying… with me”
“I-it’s not that I hate it, but…”
Being asked that all of a sudden, I was at a loss for an answer
“The hero who saved the city… Chiharu-sa princess Zonmi!?”
“That’s great! If Chiharu-sama comes to live here forever, we’ll be at ease!”
“Hey, everyone! Let’s give our blessing to princess Zonmi!”
““““Wedding! Wedding!””””
“…”
This mood, what’s with it?
The ones that started singing a “wedding” chant were… The group of nearly ten thousand ghouls that had come to see us off
As if displeased by the choir that blessed our wedding, Iris, beside me, stuffed her cheeks
“Monster tae with me?”
“… Eh?”
“I was the one thou exchanged a pledge of betrothal before! Dostn’t tell otten!”
