I was confused by what Kagetsu-san confided in me. At least, I don’t know anyone who has transferred to Dragalea other than the other four brave heroes…
「Kagetsu-san! I want you to tell me more about it!」
「Hawawa, K–Kaname, hand, your hand…」
I wanted to know the relationship between her father and me, as told to me by Kagetsu-san, and my hands were wrapped tightly around both of her shoulders without a second thought.
Her small, soft, slender, girlish shoulders… She turns her head away from me shyly. When she kissed me on the cheek, I thought she was a bitch, but when I saw her turn bright red and get all coy, I reconsidered that she was still an innocent girl.
I would have to ask Kagetsu-san to speak against the usual. Just as I was thinking that, the door opened with a clang.
「Oh my! I’m sorry, you were in the middle of something.」
I was seen hugging Kagetsu-san by her mother tightly on the shoulder. No matter how I try to explain it, it just looks like I’m trying to kiss her! I apologized and gently turned to her mother who was about to close the door and I shouted,「It’s not what you think!」
「It’s fine, it’s fine. Yoshino-chan brought a handsome guy with her, so I thought you were already in bed, but you two weren’t at it yet… Mama’s sorry～」
I can’t help but be perplexed by her comment, with her hand on my cheek, as if she was disappointed in the opposite direction, that I haven’t yet embraced her daughter…
I don’t mean to be rude to elders, but I’m going to put my true feelings out there to her mom.
「If a man held his precious daughter in his dead father’s room, I would normally despise him.」
「Eh? Something about taking a precious daughter away from her father, doesn’t that have a nice NTR or BSS feel to it?」
I’m not fine with that!
Haah… Kagetsu-san let out a long sigh. It was far deeper than the one directed at the boys in the class.
「This is why I didn’t want Mama to meet Kaname…」
She was a very disappointing mother… Kagetsu-san hangs her head without strength with a gulp.
I’m not shocked that Kagetsu-san’s mother thinks I’m like a manslut. It’s true that I can’t help but nod in agreement with Kagetsu-san’s seemingly excessive reaction to her mother.
「Oh my, you weren’t trying to… seriously, you looked like you were about to kiss her 5 seconds ago.」
It was her mother, giggling while holding her mouth and clapping me on the shoulder. Apparently, when she went into this room to clean up, she had encountered us in a love scene of sorts.
Compared to Kagetsu-ssn, who is usually a person of few words, her mother seems talkative. She never stopped talking a lot and asking her why she had invited me to her father’s room.
「」
Maybe this is the place for both of them.
「」
A sanctuary of memories… When I tried to apologize to her mother, Kagetsu-san shook her head as if she had read my thoughts, as if there was no need for that, and used her hands to restrain me.
「」
「」
「」
Kagetsu-san told me how much she had told her mother, explaining and supplementing her story.
「His PN is Yamagata Nicom, but his name is Kagetsu Saizō. He was talking about how his father-in-law liked Sanada Jūyushi. So, Saizō-san was summoned as a messenger by a witch apprentice named Lumielle.」
Lumielle…
I wasn’t aware of it at all when I was reading Nayuta’s Messenger, but now that I think about it, that girl’s name rhymes…
I didn’t think it was possible, but I was listening to what she was saying,
「So, this Lumielle’s mother is Canaelle and her grandmother is Marielle…」
「Ehh!?」
Are you serious?
「Is that true?」
「Yes, I’ll be the first to preview the manuscript that Saizō-san has written, I’m sure of it.」
My reaction was like that of Hanayama. I guess that’s what everyone does when they hear about other worlds…
For that matter, does that mean Marielle was married to someone else!? No, to begin with, our ages don’t match. No wonder Saizō-san and I didn’t run into each other.
I never saw Marielle again, and I knew she liked me, but I didn’t stay in the other world and come back…
I feel really bad for her.
But whose child is Canaelle? There is no way to be sure now.
Marielle…
I wonder what she’s doing now? Was she alright?
Even though it was a different world that I thought was so tough, thinking about her evokes a strong sense of nostalgia. As I was pondering on something like nostalgia, Kagetsu-san came up again with the name of a guy I had missed.
「When Papa went to the other world, Kaname was not there. Lilith taught my dad… that you were a hero who worked for reconciliation between humans and demons, and that he was a rare being who was admired by both sides… She was whip-teasing… bewitching figure.」
Apparently, the timeline of the transition is not necessarily the same as the timeline of our world.
But…
Are you serious!? I only know that girl in her little girl form, so… wait, I’d like to take a look at her in that form. But I wonder if shs might have told Kagetsu-san’s father something she didn’t want me to know.
「Kaname, she said you were a lousy virgin.」
That girl… I’ll make sure she’ll know that the next time I transfer! I didn’t do it because I wanted to!
There must have been a reason…
「He also made fun of Lumielle as a clumsy saint who couldn’t use recovery magic.」
It’s still the same…
When Saizo-san went to the other world, neither I nor Marielle were there. They say he was involved with Lumielle and the adult Lilith. Maybe, but there is a gap of about fifty years.
When we suddenly stopped talking, I looked at the window and saw…
Hanayama!?
He looked at me and smirked. Kagetsu-sam immediately opened the sliding door of the balcony and began to stuff Hanayama, who was watching from across.
「Miyabi, you’re such a voyeur, that’s disgusting.」
「I don’t lust after Yoshino. But I’m interested in the flirtation between you and Kirishima.」
Either way, you’re peeking…
The two of them started bickering over the balcony, about five meters away from each other, and the relationship between Hanayama and Kagetsu-san, who are like brother and sister, seems kind of funny.
「Oh right! Miya-chan and Natsuho-chan, would you like to have tea at my house? We have some delicious sweets.」
「Coming! We’re coming! I want to eat Junko-san’s sweets.」
Pushing Hanayama out of the way, Nishino-san came out of the side of the room and waved to us. We met up in that sunroom under the soft sunlight for a tea party.
Over a cup of tea and pancakes made by Junko-san, I start telling my otherworldly story to everyone. Somehow, it was the same as when I was at school. But that felt strangely comforting.
When I left the place to use the restroom, I told Hanayama and I had a little private conversation.
＊　＊　＊
When I returned to my room after training, Lilith was holding Meesha in her arms, forehead to forehead. She’s adorable when she’s quiet, but when she opens her mouth, she’s full of abusive comments about me.
This girl always does weird stuff in my room. I can’t help but wonder why shd doesn’t do it in her own room.
「What are you doing, loli-demon?」
「Don’t you know anything about the order of the generations!?」
When I told her what she looked like, she got mad. She is many times older than I am, but every single thing she does is childish.
「My motto is『retreat, flirt, and reflect,』except for you.」
「You’re a fool!」
Myaa, myaa!
Meesha rushed Lilith with a few light cat punches to her cheeks with its paw.
「Oh, Meesha, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I didn’t have time to be fool around.」
She was doing something with Misha’s meditated forehead and the female child’s forehead on top of each other.
「Ohhh!! What the! It’s amazing…」
As if she had seen something all along, the female brat squats down and slowly places Meesha’s supple body on the ground and strokes her black fur. Meesha didn’t seem to mind and looked happy with her eyes.
「The dragonfly has given birth to a hawk!」
The little bitch screamed when she saw my face. I’m in another world and they have the same proverbs as us… No, it’s not about that.
「You gave birth to her. You just got sucked out of my sperm, without my permission!」
「Don’t get all worked up over such a small thing. You can’t be a big man if you’re crabby.」
「At least I’m bigger than you.」
「I’m not talking about height! I’m talking about the vessel.」
Damn, compared to Marielle, she and I are smaller than a boar’s mouth. We were on the same side of the fence, though.
「Meesha is the brain, what I see is what I share.」
「Wha… what did you say!?」
Lilith made a smug, grinning, victorious face at me as she held Meesha in her arms. Misha, as if in response to Lilith, squealed,「Myaaah!!」
「Hey, Lilith…」
「What?」
This girl must have read my intentions, because she’s got this ugly look on her face like she’s looking down at my feet…
「If you’re asking for a favor, call me with 「-sama」first! Come on, let’s call me Lilith-sama, kukukuku!」
T–This girl is a real pain in the ass!
「L–Lilith-sama, can I still see what Meesha saw?」
「Oh, you’ll see it! If Meesha is someone who doesn’t mind, she’ll show you. You want me to lend it to you, huh?」
「Y–Yes…」

「Well, then, I guess I’ll have to ask you to do me a favor.」
T–This annoying demon… but here I kneel before the bitch for the fulfillment of my great desire.
Shame is temporary, but ambition is forever!
「Please, Lilith-sama. Please lend me Meesha’s help.」
「Very well, this is the generosity from me!」
The loli-demon looking down at me with her hands on her hips and big thighs.
Gununu…
I will definitely make you understand later. But for now, I have no choice but to endure.
This is a scouting test. I’ll never, ever, ever do something so insolent as to ask Meesha to check on Marielle’s bath!
