"Kyaa!?"
"Huh!?"
"Oh!?"
It was supposed to be teleported to my room, but it was teleported to a strange forest. No, I know this atmosphere, this gloomy feeling is unmistakable.
"It looks like you've arrived at the Sea of Trees...? Why did the transfer fail?"
"Here is...?"
"Wow, what a terrible forest."
This dimness even though it is daytime. In addition, the twisted and twisted trees and the somewhat gloomy atmosphere. It must be the Sea of Trees without a doubt.
Rifana and Elmina look around and look creepy. Melkina said that the Sea of Trees looked rather grotesque to the elves, so they were probably both creeped out by that.
"Fly a little and check your current location--"
"Wait, Taishi-kun. I can hear something."
"fart?"
"The sound of battle...? I can hear not only the roars of monsters, but the roars of many humans."
The two twitched their long ears and made serious expressions. Could it be that Clover is being attacked by monsters?
"Hurry up, grab me."
I embraced the two who silently nodded and invoked flight magic. Once in the sky, I was able to quickly find the source of the sound.
"What the hell..."
"A human army...? It looks like they're attacking that city."
"There are monsters too."
The battlefield spread out in front of me.
Human soldiers shoot arrows and magic at Clover's ramparts, and beastkins, centaurs, Arkenias, and demon races are fighting back from above the ramparts. In addition to that, even monsters were clinging to the castle walls of Clover. No, if you look closely, you can see that the human army is also attacking a little. The battlefield seems to be a three-way street.
"What to do?"
"I don't know what to do. I'll show you what happens if you mess with my things."
Raise the altitude while holding the two, and increase the speed at once while gliding.
"Kyaaaaa!? Falling!?"
Rifana is noisy in my ear, but let's put up with it here. First, let it rain explosive light bullets at the monster. The monsters were confused by the sudden air raid, fell into a state of panic and began to scatter.
Next is the human army, but is it okay to kill them? Should I restrain myself more than I don't know the circumstances? At that time he was thinking.
A tremendous explosion erupted in the center of the human army that was attacking Clover. It's an explosion that's more powerful than my super explosion.
"Goo!"
""Kyaaaa!?""
The screams heard in the stereo hurt my ears, but I couldn't even cover my ears because I was holding the two of them. A little after the blast, things like dirt and things that you don't want to look at directly come flying. Before I knew it, it was blocked by a windshield that seemed to have been put up by either Rifana or Elmina-san.
"Wha, what!? Did Taishi do it!?"
"No, I didn't do anything. At least I didn't know the identities of those guys, so I was wondering what to do when they suddenly exploded."
"It was a huge explosion..."
The human army attacking Clover is in chaos. Perhaps the chain of command was blown away by the explosion just now, and they rout and withdraw to the north side of Clover. If you look closely, you can see that the sea of trees on the north side of the clover has been cut open far into the distance.
Could it be that he had penetrated the monster-infested Great Sea of Trees from the north in just a few months? The monsters of Taikikai are much stronger than normal monsters. For me, they're all small fry, but there must be a lot of opponents who are still struggling with clover hunting.
The average level of the Thorns, who are my private army unit and the experimental units for the various advanced equipment I developed, is close to 30, but they still get raw wounds and sometimes they run away. It's a hell of a place.
I don't know when and where they attacked, but it's unthinkable for a large army to penetrate the Sea of Trees.
In general, normal soldiers should be around level 10, knights around 15, and captain class around 20. It wouldn't be surprising if monsters in the Great Sea of Trees destroyed it while they were clearing it up.
"What to do?"
"For the time being, it's a chance to stop the battle once."
I descended to the crater at the hypocenter while holding the two and concentrated my magic power. I lost a lot of magical power in the fight against Dior, so it's pretty tough, but it looks like it's going to be enough.
Place both hands on the ground and let the magic flow steadily. Gogogogo, the rumbling of the earth began to resound.
"Earth Wall!"
With a slightly disgusting sound, the soil rose up in a wide area and became a wall and was fixed. The mud wall divided the battlefield into two straight halves, and became the wall separating Clover and the battlefield. It is about 3 meters high and about 1.5 meters thick. The surface is smooth and has no hooks, and it's fairly strong, so it should be difficult to break through without using a ladder.
Well, it would be nice to bypass the sea of trees on the left and right. It will buy you enough time.
"Are you okay?"
"Oh, I used a little too much magic. I want to rest now."
"I can hear cheers coming from the ramparts."
When I heard Elmina-san's voice and turned around, the residents of Clover who were guarding on the castle wall were cheering.
"Are you finally back!?" "You're late!"
"If you think you've left your wife alone and gone somewhere, you've brought a new woman with you!"
And a big welcome... a big welcome? was. I feel like half of it is mixed with cursing, but I dare to ignore it. Stop mentioning that you left your wife alone, it works for me.
Let's go home. Then, when he stepped forward, he saw a figure running vertically down the castle wall. No, that silhouette is not a perfect humanoid. That silhouette with the upper body of a woman and the lower body of a spider is definitely Arkenia.
The upper body of Arkenia who runs at a tremendous speed is a beautiful woman wearing a beautiful kimono like Japanese clothes. She is, or should I say, Kusuha. When she sees Kusuha's running face, an indescribable feeling wells up in her.
"I'm back, Kusu—"
"This is Yado Roku!"
"Wow!"
I was punched in the belly as it was running. Moreover, it's not a human arm in the upper body, but a spider's forelimb in the lower body.
"Gu, go, go... what, what, you..."
"You didn't even explain the situation to us and just disappeared! What's more!? These elves!
"Excuse me."
"This is for my concubine! This is for Miss Marle! This is for Miss Tina!
"Ababababababababa!"
Kusuha's merciless violence attacks the back of my head and back as I fall to the ground with all my strength on my stomach! It's as powerful as minced meat for an ordinary person!
"Haa, haa, absolutely! Master, prepare yourself!? Our concubines' anger is not like this!?"
"Hey, I'm sorry--"
Before I could say the words of apology, this time I was grabbed and picked up. A soft, fluffy touch covers her face. Her captivating scent fills her nostrils. Oh, heaven from hell.
"I'm really worried about you... don't go anywhere anymore, master."
"Yeah, I'm sorry"
Kusuha didn't mind getting her kimono dirty and hugged me tightly to her chest. A whistle is heard from the castle walls. Anya, baby girl.
"Umu, I'd like to hear about the two people behind me, but... I don't want to stand and talk in a place like this. I want to go back to the Hayo Mansion, but before that, let's tell the people of the capital that the Lord has returned."
"Oh yeah"
I want to return as soon as possible, but it's certainly not possible to return to the mansion like this. I, the feudal lord, had disappeared for months without saying anything. Residents of Clover will not be satisfied if things continue as they are. But I didn't think about a cover story or anything.
I pass through the gate while thinking about what to do in my head.
"Everyone! Our master is back!"
A roar of cheers shook the air. It was only for a few months, but it seems that the townscape has changed considerably without looking at it for a while. Blocks that were supposed to have many wooden huts now have an overwhelming number of houses made of bricks, and the dirt streets that have been trodden down have turned into beautiful cobblestones.
It seems that people's clothes are also somewhat fine.
"Look, master. Say something."
"Hmm, oh. That's right."
Waiting for my words, the residents fell silent. Stop it, I don't like this kind of atmosphere.
"Ah, I'm sorry I've been away for so long. I can't talk about the details yet, but anyway, as a hero, I've overcome the trials given to me by God. From now on, I'm going to do my best for this city. is"
A commotion breaks out among the residents.
"Aside from that, I just came back and haven't been able to grasp the situation yet. For the time being, I mercilessly threw away the monsters, but I don't know where the attacking army is. But, now that I'm back, it's fine now.No matter who the opponent is, I will never let him do what he likes.Don't worry."
Cheers erupt from the residents. Yeah, how did it go? It's true that I'm in trouble even if I'm suddenly told to give a speech.
"Umu, well, that's fine. There seems to be a lot of people asking me to show my face to my wife as soon as possible, so let's take advantage of that."
"Oooh... come on! Come on, you guys! Don't hit your head or your back!"
Along the way, the residents slapped their backs, legs, and buttocks with things like, "Well, you've come home!" Gakincho missiles are also flying, so don't let your guard down!
"I admire you."
"I mean, you really were a lord."
"What, you couldn't believe it even though you were acting together with my master?"
Kusuha gave a dubious expression to Elmina-san and Rifana's reaction.
"I think it's hard to believe unless you see the real thing, you know? Taishi-kun was probably weaker than me when I first met him."
"Ah, yes.
It's a big deal that he only had something like a cypress stick, but even if he had a decent sword, it's doubtful whether he would have won if he had just lost his strength.
"Fumu, it looks like you've got into some trouble. By the way, your daughter...does she look like Melkina?"
Kusuha, who was walking beside her, turned her gaze to Elmina-san.
"Elmina. Melkina is my daughter."
"Lord, are you sure…?"
"Fufu♪"
In response to Kusuha's cheeks twitching, Elmina-san hugged me in my arms. Then give her a kiss on the cheek.
"I'm Rifana. By the way, I'm Melkina's childhood friend."
Saying that, Rifana also wraps her arm around my arm.
"Master...that's bad, isn't it...?"
"I'm prepared for various things."
"You'd better prepare yourself for the next three weeks."
"Forgive me"
I begged for help for the time being, but what the hell are you going to do for the next three weeks? It looks scary and small.
☆★☆
"Ah, you're back."
I managed to reach the lord's mansion while being mobbed by the residents of Clover. The thought of everyone waiting behind that door makes her heart feel hot.
"We'll look around town for a while."
Elmina-san stopped in front of the door and said so and sent me off. I nodded and opened the door of the lord's mansion.
"Welcome back! Mr. Taishi!"
There were all the wives besides Kusuha next to them. They are all in tears, but they are all smiling.
"I'm home, everyone."
I rushed over first, hugged Marl back and buried my face in the brown hair in my chest. Ah, the smell of marl. Her soothing sweet scent and the warmth in her arms brought tears to my eyes.
At last, at last he came home.
"Oh my God! I'm going to meet you!"
The face of Marl who raised his face was in a terrible state. Not only her tears, but also her runny nose is leaking. But such Marl is irresistibly dear. I wipe her face with a clean cloth from her storage.
"I wanted to meet you too."
Emotions overflow with the tears that I was trying to hold back. When I noticed, not only Marle but everyone else was hugging me and crying. While crying, I hugged each of them back and kissed them. Perhaps worried about their large bodies, Deborah and Kusuha were quietly shedding tears at a distance from the ring. I'll hug those two later.
It took a while for everyone to calm down.
"Ehehe, hehehehe"
Since then, Marle has been hugging me and not leaving, and the three beastkin daughters of Karen, Sherry, and Shitan have also been clinging to me.
Tina, Flam, and Nera were embarrassed to see their faces after they cried, and quickly returned to their room. She's probably fixing her makeup.
Melkina was sitting on a chair nearby, stroking her stomach and smiling, while Deborah and Kusuha were also sitting nearby and looking at me.
"Taishi-san, please take a look."
Marl, who was hugging me, was finally satisfied, saying so and moving away from me. Then she rolls up her clothes and shows her belly.
"Hmm...?"
I don't know, I feel like Marle's stomach is just a little chubby.
"Could it be...?"
"Yes, Taishi-san and my child."
Oh, oh... Seriously? Gently touch Marle's belly. In this, me and Marle's child... Wow, are you serious? Awesome. It's impressive at the level of rapid decline in vocabulary. Put your ears on Marle's belly and listen to the sound softly. Yeah, can't you hear anything yet? I feel like I can hear something faintly.
"Amazing, Marl. Well done, I'm very happy."
"Anh, hey, Taishi-san, it's tickling."
Kiss the swollen belly of Marl many times. It's great news that you're back.
"Taishi, me too."
Melkina, who had been sitting on a chair and smiling until now, also came right next to me and rolled up her clothes to show me. She is less conspicuous than Marle, but Melkina's belly also seemed to be slightly swollen.
"Oh, oh..."
Melkina's stomach also rustles and throbs. Amazing, how mysterious. Is there new life in this? Girl is amazing.
"Thank you too, Melkina. I'm so happy. I'll take care of you both, no, I'll take care of you all. I swear."
"Ehehe"
Marle and Melkina both stroke my head. amazing. precious. This is the pinnacle of happiness.
But once you reach the top, all you have to do is fall.
"Ara, Melkina is ahead of you."
"Melkina..."
Gachari, the person who opened the door and entered raised his voice. Melkina's smile froze at that voice. Gigigiggi, moving slowly enough to make a sound, her gaze turned to the door of the lord's mansion.
"Mother, san? Refa, na?"
"Yeah, it's been a long time. After all, it's hard to do anything about the difference in the speed of encounters."
Elmina-san walks over here with a smile on her face. Elmina-san approached us, ignoring the gazes of her piercing wives, and gently returned Melkina's clothes that had been rolled up.
"Don't let your stomach get cold. It's not just your body anymore."
"W-why is my mother...? Taishi...?"
"Fufu♪"
Elmina-san laughs happily and hugs my head to her chest. Oh my boobs are so soft Ahahahaha.
"I also fell in love with Taishi-kun ☆ Rifana-chan too?"
Rifana was a little frightened that she couldn't be as thick as Elmina-san, but she gently leaned against me and put her hand on her shoulder. The eyes of her wives gather on me.
"Um... please be kind."
"Don't you be kind!? Nande! Mother Nande!?"
Melkina is in a state of panic when she sees Elmina-san. Oh, don't be so hasty, it'll hurt her baby.
"Taee Sisan?"
"Oh..."
Zumomomomomo, Marle with a disquieting aura turned to me with a smile.
"You weren't satisfied with just God, so you even dabbled in Melkina's mother!"
"Hai! I'm sorry!"
"Well, calm down.
"Ugh... that's right"
Elmina gently stops the approaching Marl. Oh, to soothe that Marle so well. She is indeed Elmina-san.
"Taishi-kun didn't put his hands on us, we invited him. There were many situations where he could get his hands on him, but Taishi-kun never put his hands on him. So, if you're going to blame us, please don't blame Taishi-kun, but us who seduced Taishi-kun."
"Then, did you invite the master after knowing that you were the man of your daughter?"
"That's right. After all, Taishi-kun was about to collapse from the loneliness of not being able to see you guys. Even though he was in such a state, he didn't care about himself and took care of us, hiding his loneliness and bravely. I was doing my best.
"Mmmmmm"
Kusuha groaned at Elmina-san who was full of confidence.
"I wonder what kind of things Rifana-chan has come to like about Taishi-kun? Come on, tell everyone?"
"Ugh!? I, umm... at first I didn't like it because I thought I was human, but... umm, how you risk your life to help others when you're being hit coldly, how you smile carelessly. Or that you have beautiful eyes, or that you're a little mean but gentle...mmm, forgive me."
Rifana said so and hid her face with both hands, turning bright red to her ears. What is this cute creature?
"...I understand. I believe that you both love Taishi-san."
"Marl..."
As expected of an intelligent Marl.
"But that's it, this is it! I think that Taishi-san, who was on good terms with the two of you despite worrying us, needs to be sanctioned!"
"Wow! Emotional! Is there no help!?"
"No! Kakare!"
"Wow!?"
The wives flocked to the signal of Marl's shout. Among them was Elmina-san, who happily mixed in, but everyone didn't really care. I guess we're friends now.
Of course, Marl and Melkina, who were the ones who shouted, did not participate in the sanctions. The people themselves were dissatisfied.
