After passing through a long tunnel …… I found a passageway flanked on both sides by high stone walls.
There was only one large house in the middle of it, and nothing else.
What in the world is this place! Well, that was my honest impression.
Well, according to what I heard along the way, this was the fourth demon tribe territory, so I guess it makes sense.
“How are you guys feeling? Do you want to take a break?”
“Master. You mean taking a bath ……”
“Monica doesn’t need a break, huh. How about you, Rei? Are you okay?”
There’s a bath? There are no rivers or lakes around, though?
I heard they built a wall to keep the monsters out, but outside the wall, there’s nothing but empty land.
“I’m fine, but …… are we still going to move somewhere else?”
“Yeah. There is a house a while west of here where we live.”
“A house …… You said it was a village in the Lizardman’s place, though?”
“Oh, I called it a village just to keep things straight. How should I say this, there are a lot of houses, but I don’t feel comfortable calling it a village.”
What do you mean? I’m not sure what he meant, but we decided to walk west for the time being.
We just keep walking along the corridor and the scenery never changes, so I get worried that we’re walking in the same place!
I felt like I was just walking along, so I took another look at the group.
First of all, the leader, Alex-han. He is quite handsome, and the fact that he is a paladin is a high point.
He is a holy knight. He is serious and honest, and I have a feeling that he will protect us no matter what happens.
I am sure he helped me because I was in trouble, and I wonder if he’ll attack me later.
(T/N: Rei talks in the Kansai dialect, so every time she says other names, I’ll add ‘-han’ to it so that she can be distinguished from the others. )
Next is Ellie-han. She is carrying a magnificent staff, just like an arch wizard.
She must like Alex-han, since she has been sticking to him all the time. I don’t really know.
Next is Monica-han. She is wearing armor like a magic knight, but for some reason she is wearing only a short skirt on the lower half of her body, exposing her legs.
Is it okay if she doesn’t protect her thighs?
And then there is Sakura-han, who has a younger sister?
I know it’s hard to take a little girl with you, so maybe it would be better to leave her at home where we’re going?
And last but not the least, Yudit.
I have traveled to many countries, but I have never seen angel race before.
I just wonder why. I sometimes see the inside of her skirts as she fly around, but this girl is …… not wearing anything, though.
She’s flying, and her skirt is short, so she definitely has to be wearing panties.
Look, Alex-han looked away too …… Eh, which means she doesn’t usually wear them!?
I see. So she has that kind of fetish ……The world is really a lot bigger than I thought.
As I was thinking that, suddenly my vision widened and I saw many houses.
“Papa, thank you for the hard work.”
I’m looking at Alex-han, and I see a bunch of kids coming toward him …… Wait! There are over a dozen of them, though!
And they’re all calling him father and papa …… they’re all Alex-han’s kids!?
……N-No, there’s no way that’s it.
Some of them are about ten years old, so their ages don’t match.
Alex-han is a paladin in the service of God, and he’s raising orphans …… Yes. I’m sure that’s it.
“Monica-han. Alex-han is really amazing, huh.”
“Fufu …… Master is even more amazing at night, you know?”
I think I may have asked the wrong person.
“Ellie-han. Alex-han is really amazing, huh.”
“Yes, he is. He protects us from monsters and everyone trusts him.”
Right! This is what I wanted to hear.
The houses lined up neatly for a while and then …… Wait, isn’t there too many kids!?
I think there were close to 30 kids already.
“…… Wait a minute! Why are tomatoes ripening red at this time of year!? It’s corn over here!? And there are apples on the trees there …… What’s going on with the fields over here!?”
I may look like this, but I am a reasonably skilled apothecary.
I have a fair amount of knowledge about plants, but what’s strange is that there are vegetables and fruits at different harvest times, all growing at the same time!
What is that!? What kind of miracle is that!?
As I was standing alone in amazement at what was happening in the village…
“Big brother! Welcome back!”
Two girls hugged Alex-han.
They’re calling him brother, must be his little sisters …… Wait, one of them is a beastman! And they’re kissing!
They’re lovers!? But they both kissed!?
What is really going on in this village! While I was thinking of that…
“Mr. Alex. Welcome back.”
For an apothecary, they’re the person of their dreams, the supreme being. The elf, a professional among plant professionals, appeared …… and kissed Alex-han again!
