Night, I was thinking to myself in bed.
What Freyr-sama said naturally got me wondering.
She said that Lady Mother Earth was the mother who created the
monsters.
But she didn't really know the real situation as she only heard it from
the surviving soldiers.
Still, if that was true, then it meant we would be fighting against a
god.
I was immortal, and I also had the power of a god, Lord Fire God,
within me, so I should be able to manage somehow.
But even if they were saintesses, Arca and Magmell were just
humans.
In the unlikely event that something went wrong…
——Squeeze
"…Excuse me, I'm thinking about something pretty serious right now,
do you mind…?" I directed my half-closed eyes to the two who I was
worrying about, Arca and Magmell.
Yes, not only Arca, even Magmell was in the bed.
"Fufu, could you be thinking about the child we would have?"
"No, that couldn't be. He must be thinking about the sweet future
with me. Right, Exa-sama?"
"Eh, umm, that…" Arca was on my right and Magmell was on my left
—I was squeezed between the two beauties. They had been
excessively pressing their bodies against me since earlier, perhaps
they were conscious of each other.
Well, the reason why I was thinking about difficult matters to myself
itself was to resist the temptation of the two, so I couldn't say
anything, though.
"Rather, why are you here? This is a room for two, you know? You're
clearly breaking the inn's rules."
"Yes. Which was why I used my privilege as a saintess to somehow
get permission from the owner."
So she used her saintess privilege…
Magmell-san was willing to do anything to achieve her end these
days, I see…
"Therefore, this room has now become a room for three. You need
not worry."
"Fumu, you sure are faithful to your desires for a saintess. But well, I
understand how you feel. Because I, too, feel calm when I do this
with Husband (temp)."
"Yes, I couldn't agree more."
――Squee~ze.
Having said that, the two pressed their bodies against me stronger.
To be honest, there was no way a young man around my age could
keep his heart still having two beauties doing something like this to
him.
But!
There were times when a man had to endure!
Because what they were looking for in me right now was a sense of
security! (Excuse)
So, I'd count the stains on the ceiling.
Let's see, one… wait, it was dark and I couldn't even spot one!?
Hieeek!?
◇ ◇
The next morning.
Setting aside fact that I fell asleep hugging Magmell, and was then
interrogated by Arca, "Was it because her breasts!? Was it because
her breasts are bigger!?"
After making all the necessary preparations, I flew in the sky in
Vermillion Bird Form toward the place where the Lady Mother Earth
was last sighted.
Of course, I was holding the saintesses in both hands.
Personally, I'd wanted to go scouting by myself first given that the
other party was a god, but the two had immediately said,
""Rejected.""
I'd thought they said that out of worry for me, but then they'd said,
"—I don't want to be separated from my beloved one, after all."
"—I don't want to be separated from the one I dearly love even for a
moment, after all."
Umm, okay…?
Since they'd said that, I'd had no choice but to play along.
I'd said, "—Got it. Then I'll definitely keep you two safe!"
Yes, I'd gotten ahead of myself.
I'd thought that I should show my manly side, sort of…
But since I'd said that, I would make sure to keep my words.
Although we hadn't known each other for long yet, they were my
important companions, and above all, they were my 'legal wife' and
'concubine', after all.
I would protect them even if I had to risk my life.
Well, both were still (temp), though.
"It should be on the other side of that mountain peak, if I'm not
mistaken."
"Umu. According to the castellan, there is a place where the
mountain is deeply hollowed out on the other side. A crater, you can
say."
"Yes. I also heard that besides the center massive hole, there are
many large and small holes around it, and monsters comes out of
them."
"I see. In other words, it's their nest?"
"Yes. And in the bottommost part of the center massive hole,
Siegled-sama encountered it. Something huge that produce
monsters continuously."
"Lady Mother Earth, huh…" In the end, only god knew what awaited
us, huh…
Well, if the legend was true, we might find ourselves a goddess
herself, though.
"Yosh, then let's immediately storm into the bottommost part. Even if
we destroy the nest, nothing will change as long as we don't take
care of the cause, anyway."
"Umu, I agree."
"I understand."
After confirming the two nodded, I put more strength into the hands
holding them and headed straight toward the center of the crater.
But.
"—Oh no!?"
""—!?""
——DOGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!
At that moment, something that seemed to be a tremendous mass of
energy was released from the bottom of the massive hole upwards,
and we narrowly avoided it at the last moment.
I never thought that there would be such large-scale interception in
place.
"That was dangerous…"
Phew, I let out a sigh of relief, but Arca boldly laughed and said,
"Fufu, I see. It appears that the so-called Lady Mother Earth is quite
afraid of Husband (temp)."
"Eh, is that so?"
"Ahh. Well, it is a matter of course. After all, the strongest man in the
world who possesses the power of another god has come knocking
her door. This kind of welcome is only appropriate."
"Indeed. She must have sensed the power of Lord Fire God sleeping
in Exa-sama and considered him to be a threat."
"Meaning, we have a chance to win, huh. I see. In that case, let's go
pay our respect immediately."
"Ahh, I agree."
"Same for me."
After we all nodded, I once again flapped my wings and headed for
the massive hole.
