Chapter 28
: Departure [2]
[N POV]
Two and a half months have passed.
One day, the Holy Beast sluggishly came and entered Rudeus’s room.
“Well, well then, if it isn’t the Lord Holy Beast, Did you have something you needed from this sex beast? ”
“Wan.”
“Two.”
“Wan.”
It seems it’s just going to ignore Rudeus.
Rudeus didn’t know if it was a male or female, but the Lord Holy Beast came over and laid down next to him.
Currently, in his hands is a figure in the process of making.
Rudeus decided to make these since there’s still lots of time left before the rain stops.
The model is Ruijerd.
Why him?
That is what one might think.
However, think about it for a second.
The Superd race is a monster with an unknown identity.
People shudder in fear after seeing that green hair.
However, the figures Rudeus makes have no color.
A stone doll in a solid grey color.
If Rudeus can make this doll look cool, he might be able to get more people to accept it.
First off is the silhouette.
The hair is the last part.
“Won!”
The Holy Beast brought its body close to Rudeus’s thighs and placed its head on his lap.
Rudeus was perplexed since no animal had ever gotten this close to him before.
“Uon?”
The Holy Beast was looking at his hands with a “What is that?” feeling.
It’s a lord puppy whose age is proportionate to its demeanor.
He started to stroke the area around its neck for the time being.
“There’s nothing to do, so I decided to produce some work.”
“Wan.”
Rudeus’s hand was licked while its tail was flapping and moving around.
‘It seems I’m not hated.’
Since the rain is still continuing, the Holy Beast must be bored.
‘I don’t know where it has been these past two months, but it specifically decided to come over to where I am, after all.’
‘It must be looking for some kind of stimulus.’
“Shall we play?”
“Wan!”
‘After that, my crossed legs fell apart and started to play around with the Lord Holy Beast.’
Rudeus enjoyed rolling around and getting moderate exercise with the Lord Holy Beast.
It is certainly a win-win relationship.
Knock, knock.
While Rudeus was playing around with the Holy Beast, there was a knock on the door to his room.
“Hm? Come in. ”
“Please excuse me. I could smell the Lord Holy Beast coming from here… Ah.”
Then the one who came in was a woman dressed in the outfit of one of the village’s warriors.
It was the big sister guard.
“Ah, greetings, it’s been a while.”
For the time being, Rudeus said that while bowing my head.
After seeing Rudeus, her face quickly turned ghastly pale.
“Ah, yes, greetings. It has been a while.”
It’s the person who threw cold water on Rudeus and told him off with a cruel word.
“Come to think of it, I haven’t seen her in two months.”
He wondered where she was.
“I’m sorry about that time. Please forgive my rudeness. ”
She deeply bowed her head.
“No, it’s fine. That matter has already been resolved.”
“However, even though it was a misunderstanding, I would subject you to that kind of treatment….”
“That kind of treatment was just being stripped and having cold water thrown at me.”
Then the female warrior’s face became even paler.
Almost to the point where she would fall over at any minute.
“I’m very sorry. Please… forgive me. ”
When it comes to the beast race, being stripped naked and having cold water thrown at you is highly humiliating.
“I had heard at that time that you were a person that had done something sexually cruel to the Lord Holy Beast.”
“Of course, that was a false charge, you’ve heard, right?”
“Ah, yes, of course.”
Then she was looking back and forth at the Holy Beast.
Currently, the Lord Holy Beast uses Rudeus as a pillow, and my hand is being licked.
It seems like she has something to say about it.
“The things from that time couldn’t be helped. I’m not angry about it. Although, I would have liked at least one apology. ”
“That is, umm, I’m really sorry. I was told to try my best to avoid meeting with Master Rudeus of Lord Gyes. ”
‘Ah, so that was the case after all, huh.’
As Rudeus thought, if the actual perpetrator was in front of your eyes, you would want to get revenge.
Gyes’s judgment was correct.
“Then, you were told not to encounter me. Why are you here? ”
“Umm, that is, the Lord Holy Beast went missing, so I followed the smell, and it led here.”
“Won!”
The female warrior had a cold sweat going.
Rudeus thinks it’s fine if you aren’t that afraid.
Gyes apologized plenty, and he’s already satisfied with that.
After the rainy season ended, Gyes offered to give them a cart and pay compensation.
Rudeus only had to spend a week in prison for it. Rudeus feels luckier than anything.
When it comes to him, he’s not really bothered at all.
Having cold water thrown at him and being abused as a pervert are good memories.
Rudeus was sure that in the future, if something woke up inside of him, he’d be able to accept that arousal.
“Come to think of it, after the rainy season ends, you would get married, weren’t you? Congratulations. ”
After he said that, the female warrior started to tremble in fear.
It seems like she only heard it as sarcasm.
There was no ill intent. Rudeus just meant it as a simple blessing, though.
“Umm, what would I have to do to be forgiven by you?”
Hmm.
It seems she has misunderstood something.
This is somehow nice.
An amazing feeling of superiority
Is this that NTR sort of thing?
‘Nfufu.’
‘After all, maybe I should have her get naked and crawl on all fours.’
‘No, that kind of thing isn’t good.’
Gyes asked him to let it go, and Rudeus didn’t know when Eris and Ruijerd would return.
Rudeus wonders what kind of punishment would be good.
Something similar to the beast race, like being stripped, is no good.
Throwing cold water is also undoubtedly not good.
‘Then how about I put on only a white t-shirt, hit you with a water technique, a water gun, and cover you in lukewarm water? ‘
‘Wah, I’m a genius.’
“Wan!”
Then Lord Holy Beast moved over to cover the female warrior.
Glaring at Rudeus.
‘What’s up with that.’
‘It’s a joke, don’t be mad.’
“I’ve already received a proper apology. Since that’s the case, I don’t need anything more than that. ”
After saying that, the female warrior made a relieved face and sighed.
“Thank you very much.”
Then, just after that talk was finished, she started glaring at Rudeus.
“More than that, Rudeus-dono, I would prefer it if you didn’t just take the Lord Holy Beast out at your own convenience.”
“What’s that?” I never took it out of anywhere.”
‘Oh, more false charges, huh.’
‘You really aren’t reflecting on it, are you?’
‘If you aren’t careful with your words, next time you’ll be the one in prison naked, and I’ll be the one throwing water.’
Rudeus thought of all of those things as he monologued inside his head.
“If that’s the case, then who took it out? The Lord Holy Beast cannot leave the Holy Tree on its own. ”
“Ho. Then please explain it to me clearly. ”
The Lord Holy Beast is a magical beast that is only born once every several hundred years.
It has no formal name.
Since ancient times, the appearance of the Lord Holy Beast has meant that the world would be approaching a crisis.
After Lord Holy Beast becomes an adult, it will set out on a journey with a hero to save the world from that mighty power.
That’s how it’s told.
Since that’s the case, in the interior of the DoRudya village within a barrier in the roots of the Holy Tree, it’s carefully and preciously raised.
That is really an utterly sheltered kind of feeling.
They won’t let the Lord Holy Beast, who doesn’t know anything, out into the cold outside world.
Incidentally, it will supposedly take another 100 years or so until the Lord of the Beast becomes an adult.
If the stories are true, 100 years later, a great crisis will befall the world.
Currently, it seems that this female warrior is primarily protecting the Lord Holy Beast.
In the inner part of that dead-end pathway,
Rudeus, get it now. That would be why we never met when Rudeus walked around the town.
“Wan!”
Then the Lord Holy Beast barked out loud there.
The female warrior made a surprised face.
“Eh! What did you say? ”
‘Eh? What? ’
“Won!”
“I see, but….”
“Wan!”
“I understand.”
‘Why are you normally having a conversation with a dog? The Lord Holy Beast isn’t speaking in the Beast God’s language, right? How do you understand the differences between them? Are you using BowLingual or something?’
Rudeus had a barrage of questions in his head, but he couldn’t say them out loud.
“Lord Holy Beast has said that you are unrelated.”
“Right?”
“I’d like you to say more than that.” He adds.
“Lord Holy Beast thanks you, Rudeus-dono.”
“Ho, I could have sworn I had been completely forgotten after being abandoned in prison.”
“Wan!”
“Lord Holy Beast says [That’s rude. I properly told them to send you good tasting food. I had heard that Master Rudeus was enjoying the food quite a bit as well?].”
‘That’s right. The food, at least, was as good. Also, I received seconds. I did think it was pretty strange for a prison. ’
‘That was Lord Holy Beast’s order, huh.’
However, for the first thing to be thought of in terms of gratitude to be food, in the end, it’s still a dog.
“However, I would have preferred to be let out of the prison if that’s the case.”
“Wan?! (What do you mean by prison? is what it seems to be).”
“It’s a place where you lock up bad guys.”
“Wan! (I also get locked up, is what is being said). ”
After that, Rudeus talked with Lord Holy Beast, using the female warrior as a translator.
After which, he realized that Lord Holy Beast had no clue about the details of the events from this time, it seems.
It didn’t understand that Rudeus was letting off a smell of arousal and didn’t understand why he was captured by Gyes either.
It couldn’t seem to comprehend the fact that he was captured or anything beyond the fact that something scary happened.
In other words, it’s still a child.
Making all sorts of demands on a child is not good.
There’s no helping it.
“Thanks to the Lord Holy Beast, I was able to experience a pleasant lifestyle. Thank you very much. ”
After thanking it, its tail started waving, and it licked my face.
Nfufu, what a cute fellow.
Rudeus was having fun stroking its neck.
Then he was pushed down.
Ahn, you can’t. People are watching?
“Rudeus-dono, Lord Holy Beast, is sacred. Could you refrain yourself from being that familiar and attached? ”
“That’s wrong. The smell of this arousal is aimed at you.”
“Huh!?”
“Excuse me, it’s nothing at all.”
Rudeus let out a bit of his true intent.
“*Cough* Now then, Lord Holy Beast. Let’s return home to the Holy Tree. ”
“Wan!!”
The Lord Holy Beast honestly nodded to the words of the female warrior and returned.
After that, it became a problem for the beast race that the Lord of the Beast could escape.
In the end, it seems like they couldn’t figure out who the criminal that let it out was.
Since that’s the case, it would be fine if they left it to an escort, but that abduction incident happened the other day.
The escorts were becoming tense.
After that, the Lord Holy Beast appeared by my side many times.
That’s right, for some reason, by my side.
Of course, after the second time, they started to doubt me.
However, luckily on that day, I participated in the drinking bout of Ruijerd and Gustav.
I wasn’t drinking any alcohol, but I enjoyed something similar to walnuts.
In other words, I had an alibi.
Since I’m a magician capable of freezing the entire village with magic, I might have some method of doing it, even from a particular place, but Gustav cleared the doubts.
It wouldn’t be interesting to add more false charges to the list.
Since that’s the case, I decided to stick to Ruijerd, Gustav, and Eris as much as I could, but I gave up.
I decided to stay near Gyes.
He’s the warrior chief. The highest person was responsible for the charge of security.
Claude was still doing his deed in training the Beast warriors, along with Gyes included, but he’d become meeker since his meditation event.
He does more minor damage and more guiding.
Gyes is busy every day, but having him as an alibi is the most efficient method.
“I was under the impression that I was hated by Rudeus-dono.”
After sticking with him for a full day, he was bitter.
“You don’t really need to pay it any mind. The next time you give birth to a daughter, just give her to me. ”
“Do you really want to pledge marriage vows to a daughter of mine?”
“No, it was just a simple joke. Oh, excuse me, did I let out the smell of arousal? ”
“Sunsun? There’s no such smell.”
“I see, then this amount is alright.”
After all, unless there’s a female nearby, my tomboy won’t become a tomcat.
Unless they enter my field of vision, there’s nothing to be done, is what it means.
“This is something I’ve understood over the last month. Master Rudeus is rather mature. Even though you’re still young, Master Ruijerd recognizes you as a warrior. ”
“What’s up with that, suddenly praising me?”
That’s kind of disgusting.
Suddenly, flipping one’s hand
“In the beginning, I just thought you were some sheetty brat depending on Master Ruijerd and doing whatever you liked.”
Ho.
He puts it well.
Well, it’s not necessarily a mistake.
“In terms of magic skills, it went way beyond what I imagined. To freeze the entire forest during the rainy season is something I could only imagine in a fairy tale.”
“Fuu, my teacher is even more amazing, though.”
Then another push here for Roxy for no reason at all.
No matter how much I praise Roxy, it will never be enough praise.
“And more than anything, you hold that much power, yet you didn’t seek revenge against our Dedoldia race even after being treated like that.”
If you put it like that, then that is the case.
But look, Ruijerd said it as well. I was letting my guard down.
Isn’t it okay if both sides reflect on it?
Besides,
“This place is Ghislaine’s hometown as well.”
“What did Ghislaine say about this village?”
“No, she didn’t really say anything in particular.”
It didn’t seem like Ghyslaine liked the Great Forest very much.
She often made a bitter face when she taught me Beast God’s language.
“Who wouldn’t want to get along well with the family of a respected teacher?”
“Is it fine if I apologize once again?”
“I don’t really need that prostration at all. Rather than that, please give me the right to lay my hands on Minitona-chan. ”
“If Master Rudeus plans to consider my daughter properly and seriously as a partner, I wouldn’t particularly mind.”
“Eh?!”
Seriously?
Does that mean he’ll give me permission to play Nyan Nyan with the cat-eared girl?
Nono.
Right now, we’re having a good conversation. You sheetty NEET stay down.
“Of course, I’m joking. Eris would probably get angry as well.”
“Just now, a bit of the smell of arousal appeared, though.”
“That can’t be helped. That would be because of Gyes-san’s careless statement. Let it go.”
“I see… I’m sorry about that.”
Really.
I have a proper promise with Eris, you know.
15 years old.
Another four more years.
If I wait four years, then paradise.
Speaking of promises, I had one with Sylphy as well, but…
I wonder how Sylphy is doing now.
They are most likely doing well.
I hope she’s doing well…
It would be good if she wasn’t being bullied over her hair anymore…
I wonder where the place she’s being sent to is, huh?
“And it seems like it’s come today as well.”
Just as I was lost in thought, the Lord of the Holy Beast suddenly appeared.
“Ku… What in the world are the escorts doing?! ”
After seeing that, Gyes started grinding his teeth.
Today, the Lord of the Holy Beast said “Wan” to me in a cheerful voice.
In response to that, I stroked its head.
“Could it be that it’s getting out on its own power?”
is what I inquired, but…
“No, there’s no mistake that it’s through someone’s help.”
Gyes said, while looking at the Lord Holy Beast with troubled eyes.
Through someone’s help.
It’s without a doubt something within their own members, but everyone has an alibi.
It’s creepy.
“Should Ruijerd and I investigate? We could figure it out pretty quickly with Ruijerd’s eye. ”
After saying that,
“No, the protection of the Lord Holy Beast is a matter of pride for the Dedoldia race. We can’t allow outsiders to interfere.
That is how he turned us down.
“Even though defending the village is fine.”
“This and that are different matters.”
Defending the village is okay, but investigating the Holy Beast’s escape is not.
I couldn’t understand the line of thought, but I guess this could be a difference in common sense.
Well, that’s fine if they’re okay with it.
“If it’s managed to escape this many times, it would certainly be worrying. It’s fine right now because it’s the rainy season, but what if, after the rainy season ends, it could be abducted again? Besides, even in the village, it could be attacked by monsters if the worst case happens. ”
“That’s probably right.”
Gyes started to worry with a hard face.
“Since it seems like the Lord Holy Beast is escaping to come to meet me, what if I go to visit it every day? Won’t that solve the problem? ”
“That… However… Hmmm.”
He’s troubled.
After all, it doesn’t seem like he wants outsiders to get near the Holy Tree.
I’ll draw him in.
“Well then, how about meeting near the Holy Tree and taking it out before it can be taken, then having the escort person follow along? If we do that, there would be no need to worry about someone taking it out. ”
“Wouldn’t that be getting our priorities backward?”
“I think it seems better than having even a moment where you don’t know the location of the Lord Holy Beast, though?”
“….”
Gyes was troubled.
Since he was troubled, that became the case.
“You are troubled by me, but what’s about Claude?”
He suddenly realized that Claude was a kid the same age as his daughter.
Hey, even if he’s weird, you should know that he’s still underage…
“Well, I don’t really understand that. He’s different from you; he smells like a beast in human skin… ”
“What do you mean by that?”
“He smells like Master Ruijerd.”
“Huh?”
“It’s kind of hard to explain. You can just say that it’s within our instinct. Based on our instinct, we can perceive a person as a danger or not. The same as we feel your arousal… ”
That’s a weird example.
“Does that mean connected with bloodlust, as Ruijerd always said?”
“Yeah, he looks prepared to murder everyone that disobeys him. He had the stature of a beast king. ”
“Hoho… That’s interesting.. ”
“well, it’s somehow weird to say it this way. But, I can sense danger. He reeks of danger. ”
“Didn’t you warrior think you could beat him in a group?”
“No, we can’t.”
“What’s made you so sure?”
“We’ve trained with him. It’s more like a beating, to be exact. I can feel his wrath. He might not blame us for the death, but the feeling is there. ”
“Of the death?… ah, Somar’s parents…”
Gyes somehow looks downcast.
“Not just that, but the fact that Master Rudeus was on the brink of fainting might be another reason.” We wanted to retaliate the second time we had training, but he was just so hard to deal with, Master Claude’s time magic especially. His battle style is something directed towards one against many… ”
Ah, it’s his experience in the dungeon.
“in a one-on-one battle, we can’t defeat a saint swordsman. While in a group battle, we can’t defeat a magic swordsman. It’s a hard truth we must face….”
“I see….”
“Even so, after his Enlightenment master, Claude became kinder…”
“Ah, yeah… it’s his usual attitude in the past, so I just see him as normal. ”
“I see. It seems that his experience in the dungeon wasn’t something we can imagine. ”
To regenerate his wound, he had to think critically about all kinds of events.
Then, always move ahead…
“How can my disciple be stronger than me in some years? It hurts my feelings. ”
“ah, right… You’re Claude’s magic mentor, right? Then, your father must be stronger then, Rudeus-dono? ”
“Nah, Ghislaine’s stronger than him. I can bet that my father is already weaker than Claude by now. ”
—
After that, for a little less than two weeks.
I lived with and played with the Lord of the Holy Beast.
In the end, we never figured out who the criminal was, though Lord Holy Beast has stopped disappearing as well.
Incidentally, the escort person got insanely angry at me when I trained it to offer its paw, though that’s a secret.
Meanwhile, Claude continued his guidance and training.
How could he not get sick of training every day?
Even his way of relaxing is still training with the Beast Warriors.
Even Ruijerd was amazed at his zeal.
Well, he is actually getting better. Despite the fact that his goal of creating a weapon as hard as Ruijerd Heirloom remained unfulfilled, he progressed well.
Not to mention his other mastery in magic, even his sword’s art is getting better by the day.
He could already beat that saint-ranked smuggler without batting an eyelid before, but now, I guess a glance of his is enough.
I don’t mean that his sword’s mastery had already reached the King’s rank.
But his way of using magic and his weapons is already something that an ordinary person can beat.
Ruijerd praised him so much that I got my ears bleeding.
—
Three months have passed since various things happened.
The rain has stopped.
