“U-Um …… Master Alex. You seem to be having trouble walking, so if you don’t mind, I’d be happy to help you.”
Tsubaki looked at me and spoke to me with a blush on her face.
“Please wait. If that’s the case, I’ll do it too”.
“I’ll do it too! Because it’s for the sake of my beloved darling.”
Hearing those words, Lydia and Yudit came to hug me …… No, that’s not it!
This doesn’t mean I’m thinking weird things …… but the sensation coming from my clone is seriously bad and I’m already on the verge of an outburst.
And these three people know exactly how close to the limit I am…
“Lydia. Don’t just take off my …… Kuh!”
“………… Fufu, I made it just in time. It would have been a shame to spill Mr. Alex’s stuff.”
“Miss Lydia, that’s not fair! I wanted to drink it too!”
Lydia smiles in satisfaction, and Tsubaki’s mouth twitches.
…….We were already far from the east area where the dolls lived, and it was still good that the road led to the empty East Rest House, but we had to hurry on anyway.
But the feeling coming from my clone is …… there’s more than one of them!?
I could deactivate my clone, but I can only create a new one close to me, which would be a problem for Borscht.
If I could deactivate the automatic action and move the clone at my will, I would be able to see who is doing weird things to the clone and I could pay attention to them, but …… I have never done that remotely, so I doubt I can really do that.
Worst case scenario, if only the automatic action is deactivated and I can’t set up the automatic action again, it’s all the same in the end.
In other words, I’ll just have to endure while hoping for the conscience of those around my clone.
“Lydia …… T-Thank you. But we have to move on ……”
“But you still seem to be in pain, though? I’m not fainting anymore, so just a little is ……”
“No, we must go on. El- …… Ahem. I want to investigate deeper into the Lizardmen village.”
“Then …… let us do this.”
Suddenly, Lydia, who had taken off her clothes, hugged me and while standing …… Wait, what!?
“Mr. Alex, you can walk like this, can’t you? Then we can move to the Lizardmen village, and that thing that looks like in pain can also be …… hmmm! C-Come on, let’s go.”
Tsubaki saw this and completely took off my pants, as if I was carrying a package …… Are we really going to go on like this!?
“P-Please do it to me next.”
“Me too! It looks kind of fun.”
“…… Every time he takes a step forward, it pokes me in the back, and it’s amazing.”
Eventually, taking turns, we managed to get to the East Rest House, which was quite a distance from where we started, and since we were in this state the whole time we were moving…
We decided to take a bath here and then move on again.
“…… I had heard rumors about it, but Father is really awesome.”
Oh, no. Maybe it was because she erased her presence, or maybe it was because I was in such a bad situation, but I had completely forgotten that Tsubaki’s doll, Moon, was here!
I was taking a bath with Moon, who was about eight years old and was seen with the three of us in the bathtub in the first place …… which is a big mistake.
I’m lucky that she didn’t ask to join in with them like Sakura’s dolls did.
“That’s right. Moon …… Can you tell if anyone was doing anything strange to the clone on the other side?”
“First, Miss Rei said she wanted materials, and it seems that Miss Mio and Miss Monica said they would help.”
Rei …… No, I know she makes a lot of things, but I have to tell them to stop when they only have my clone with them.
“But they were satisfied after a certain amount of time, and your father’s clone was working normally, you know?”
“What? …… You mean that was not affected by the clone in the middle of the process!?”
“Yes. I heard that the clone who was gathering the crops was always big, and sometimes something was coming out of him, so the people over there were saying a lot of things about how they envied him, and how they would do the same thing when they come back.”
Oh no!
After hearing Moon’s story, we got out of the bath and focused on moving on, and managed to arrive at the Lizardmen village.
