After Monica changed her clothes and caught up with us, we resumed our journey, and we arrived at the Lizardman village in no time, probably because the road had been maintained.
“Tsubaki, I’m sorry, but please wait here. In the worst case, something might happen near the lake, so I want you to work together with the Lizardmen to protect the village.”
“…… Understood. I will wait in the Lizardman village until further notice and respond as needed.”
“I’m sorry. I’m leaving this to you.”
I assigned Tsubaki to guard the Lizardman village, and …… we successfully arrived with Lavinia’s guidance.
“We don’t know the distance from here to the sea, so let’s take a break for lunch. It’s no time for a leisurely meal, but it’s also a problem if we can’t move on an empty stomach.”
“Then, I’ll take care of the cooking here. Everyone, please wait.”
“Mister, can I help with the cooking too? I was thinking of making portable food that can be saved for dinner, not just lunch.”
Since everyone volunteered, I entrusted the meal to Valerie and Kasumi and I informed Meilin via Yuri about the situation and what we planned to do next.
I also mentioned that while I think they’ll be fine, since it’s a demon related to water, they should be cautious about drinking water and underground lakes ……
I believe they’ll be fine with poison since Rei and Stella are there, but if it comes to demons from underground lakes …… I’ll rely on Neve and the doll unit to do their best.
“Master, if you’re worried, you can have Miss Meilin create many dolls of Miss Stella ……”
“Yeah, it’s helpful to be able to use high-level priest magic in various places. However, while it would be helpful …… it would be rude to ask Stella for that reason.”
“Is that so? If it were me, I would gladly offer my body to Master …… Master!? Master!”
Monica is trying to take her clothes off at every opportunity …… What should I do about her?
While I was thinking about that, Valerie prepared lunch for us, and after enjoying it together, we were about to depart with Lavinia as our guide when…
“Lord Alex! Lord Alex!”
I heard a voice calling me from afar …… and with a gust of wind, a woman—a young angelic woman—appeared.
“Lord Alex! Long time no see! I missed you!”
“Um, you’re …… Aasha, right?”
“Yes! Asia Floyd. In human terms, I’m a seventeen-year-old angel who hopes to be Lord Alex’s lover!”
Aasha’s enthusiastic self-introduction echoed… and I had a slightly bad feeling about this.
“I’m Valerie. In human terms, I’m a fourteen-year-old dragon tribesman! I’m Alex’s wife, so nice to meet you!”
“I’m Lavinia. In human terms, I’m a fifteen-year-old mermaid. I’m Mr. Alex’s legal wife, so please take care of me.”
“I’m Kasumi! Well, in human terms …… No, I’m a human, though! I can’t tell you my age, but I’ll be Lord Alex’s wife, so it’s nice to meet you!”
As expected, the three of them didn’t know about Aasha and confronted her as if they were competing.
Or rather, what are they doing in this situation!
“Kuh …… I’m going to marry Lord Alex as long as Lady Yudit give me her permission!”
“No, forget about that for now. Anyway, what did you come here for, Aasha?”
“What do you mean, of course, it’s you-know-what! I was told you were at the Lizardman village on top of the wall. And, I couldn’t forget about Lord Alex …… or rather, I couldn’t hold back any longer, so I came!”
“Oh, did you come alone, Aasha?”
“Yes. Well, unless it’s an emergency like before, we can’t bring all the angels with us.”
T- That’s good. Doing it with all the angels at a time like this is …… not the right move now.
“Sorry, but it seems that there are demons trying to attack here. We’re going to defeat them now.”
“I see. When it comes to demon extermination, it’s the duty of the angels. I’ll hurry back and bring reinforcements, so please wait for me! We’ll definitely assist you, so please grant me a reward …… not just after the battle, but even before we fight, okay!”
“H-Hey! Aasha!? Aasha!? AASHAAAAAA!”
Certainly, angels might be suitable for fighting demons and the demon tribes, but the enemy is in the water!
I don’t think they can enter the sea because their wings would get wet, but …… I wish she had at least listened to me before going back.
