Chapter 111 - It Seems Like She Loves Animals

After spending a night, Alice and I thanked Chris-san many times for her help and left the castle.

Chris-san told me I could stay for as many days as I wanted but Its just that, after what happened last night, I got the feeling that shes trying to win me over with her seductive techniques, and I cant keep myself calm around her so In fact, she even asked me if I wanted to take a bath with her just this morning, since I felt like my reasoning would get burned out, I decided to come home early after breakfast.

After parting with Alice at the royal capital, I was on my back to Lilia-sans residence with Bell when I realized.

Speaking of which, Im taking Bell home with me. and Lilia-sans scary. Really d.a.m.n scary.

The only way to keep Bell is to tell her that Im going to take responsibility for him and that Im going to take care of him with all my heart but Yep. What the heck is with this feeling budding up within me I feel like a child who picks up an abandoned cat and returns home worried that his parents will be angry with him.

Anyway, I can only be prepared for what will happen. Id better be prepared to take a couple of hits LIlia-sans power will hit me. It would be great if she wont break my head

[Guruu?]

[Its nothing. Lets go, Bell.]

[Gaooo!]

I smile and give a pat on Bells back, who was looking at me with concern, as if he could tell I was troubled.

Now, Im ready, so lets go

When I returned to Lilia-sans mansion, I immediately found the person I wanted to see Lilia-san.

Lilia-san is standing in front of the doorway, but for some reason, shes resting on Lunamaria-sans shoulder and appears to be completely exhausted.

[Come on, My Lady. Please take a breath of air outside.]

[Uggghhh]

[Youre so weak to alcohol that your face would turn red over just one gla.s.s, but you still drank so many bottles of wine.]

[I mean Kaito-san]

[Unnn]

[ [ Eh? ] ]

Lilia-san seemed to have a hangover, looking like she was going to die.

When I called out to them, Lilia-san and Lunamaria-san looked surprised for a moment, before they straightened their backs as if theyre keeping up appearances.

[K- Kaito-san!? S- Since when are you here]

[J- Just now]

[I- I- I see Its not that I usually drink a lot of alcohol. Its just you happen to see me drink by chance]

[Ah, yes.]

Im not sure if it was really embarra.s.sing for her to be seen with a hangover from drinking too much, but Lilia-san looked fl.u.s.tered while her face looked red.

Of course, I dont have any intention of pursuing the topic any deeper either, so I immediately respond with my acknowledgment.

[Anyway, welcome back. Kaito-san It seems you went through a lot again?]

[U- Ummm.]

[Luna, I think my eyes are finally seeing things Im having hallucinations of a behemoth]

[Im afraid I can see it too.]

In the middle of her words, Lilia-sans gaze glued to Bell behind me, and after a moment of silence She stands in front of me with a terrific speed.

[Kaito-san! Get back, its dangerous!]

[Grrrrrrrrr]

[Hey! Bell, growling at them is no good!]

[Gaooo.]

[Luna, my sword Huh?]

Seeing the dangerous-looking Lilia-san approaching, Bell let out a low growl, as if he thought she was an enemy, so I scolded him a little louder.

Hearing me, Bell immediately stopped growling and nodded, listening to me properly, so I put my hand over Bells head and gently patted him.

[Okay, good boy, good boy.]

[Gaooo!]

[Luna, I think Im completely wasted Im starting to have visions of a Behemoth being emotionally attached to Kaito-san.]

[No matter how cruel it may be, its still reality.]

[..]

[Miyama-sama truly is terrifying being able to win over a legendary magical beast]

Seeing me patting Bells head, I saw Lilia-sans eyes look straight at me and its seriously scary.

[Kaito-san, that Behemoth Whats going on?]

[Errr, I bought it.]

[You bought it? Ah, come to think of it, Ive heard that you were in Archlesia Empire, which has a close relations.h.i.+p with Dragon King-sama, which is a country thats putting a lot of effort into raising high-level monsters. However, I never thought they would even have a Behemoth How much was it?]

[Errr Thats 280 white gold coins, so thats 28,000,000R.]

[Huh?]

It was 2.8 billion yen. Well, when I think about it again, I really made quite an outrageous purchase.

Hearing my words, Lilia-san stiffened and her eyes opened wide, and then, she fl.u.s.teredly began questioning me.

[W- Wait a minute! 28,000,000R you say, where the heck did you get that much money!?]

[Ah, thats]

[Please dont tell me you got it by some illegal means, did you Kaito-san! Whats the meaning of this!? Please explain!!!]

[Gueehhh!? Li- Lilia-san, i- it hurts]

[I dont remember raising Kaito-san to be such a person!!!]

[I dont even remember being raised by you though!? A-Anyway, please calm down! Ill properly explain to you how I got him from the start!!!]

Lilia-san seems to be quite shaken, grabbing my collar and violently rocking back and forth, and it may have just been my imagination, but I cant feel the ground on my feet.

Lifting the 170cm me to the air, seriously, how strong are you, Lilia-san T- The girls in this world really are frightening. Mainly in terms of combat abilities, I mean

(T/N: Kaitos around 57)

Anyhow, my desperate plea paid off, as Lilia-san managed to calm down and let go of her hand that was holding unto my collar.

Anyway, Ill tell them the details inside, but in the meantime, I was wondering what I should do about Bell, but before I knew it, Sieg-san was standing in front of Bell, staring at him.

[Guruu?]

[Bell, Sieg-san is someone who has always been helping me, so youll have to get along with her properly.]

[Gaooo!]

[..]

Sieg-san continues to stare at Bell and after a little while, as if she made up her mind, she reaches out her hand.

Bell seemed to be listening to what I said properly, as he didnt avoid Sieg-sans outstretched hand, and quietly letting her pat his head.

And thats when I noticed that Sieg-sans cheeks had a slight blush to them, and a lovely smile on her face that shows that shes very happy.

It seems that I wasnt the only curious one about this, as Lilia-san and Lunamaria-san were also looking at Sieg-san with slightly dubious expressions on their faces.

When Sieg-san noticed our gazes, she took out a piece of paper and a pen from her pocket before showing it to us.

Its really cute. Kaito-san, you have a good sense on picking up pets.

[H- Haahh Thank you.]

Apparently, she had that expression just now because Bell was really cute, and Sieg-san immediately returned her gaze to Bell and continued patting his body with a smile.

[Hey, Lunamaria-san.]

[What is it?]

[Its just that Isnt Sieg-san a little different than usual?]

[Sieg has always been a big animal lover, and thats exactly why if you left them alone, she would just smile and pat that behemoth around all day long.]

[I- I see H- However, Behemoths are considered as monsters, right?]

[I think its fine for her as long as it looks like an animal.]

Just as Lunamaria-san said, Sieg-san seemed to really like animals, as she has an innocent smile of a little girl, which was a far cry from her usual calm, mature, and feminine atmosphere.

The expression on her face, which I dont often see, was very cute and I realized once again that Sieg-san is an attractive woman.

Dear Mom, Dad- Anyhow, I finally made it back at Lilia-sans mansion, but Im sure that the troubles still havent ended yet That being said It seems like Sieg-san loves animals.

In a small hill overlooking the capital city of Symphonia Kingdom, several shadows descended.

[Good gracious, its troubling how there are hot-tempered people among us with that said, I think just me going should be enough.]

[No, theres no need for Bacchus-sama to move. You can leave it to us]

[Fumu, well, you seem to be in a hurry to get the job done huh Im going to repeat this just in case, but dont misread Megiddo-samas intentions.]

[ [ [ Hahh! ] ] ]

[Well then, first of all lets go find an inn to stay at.]

[Eh? Arent we going to head over there right now?]

[My, my, please dont make us old people do anything rash. If we do this before Phantasmal King-samas subordinates set up the barrier, Death King-sama will be able to sense us. You dont need to be in such a hurry.]

Its not yet time for these Demons to immediately achieve their goal, Bacchus told them with a wry smile and started walking slowly towards the royal capital.

[Now then, Miyama Kaito Let me figure out what youre worth for]

=========================================================================

No matter how I see it, I can only see it as a mother scolding her child for picking up a strange pet.

Sieg-san didnt show any mercy to the monsters who raised their fangs at her, but otherwise, she will love them when the monster looks like an animal, even if its a monster.

And also, what the heck Do I smell seriousness in the air?

The War Kings envoys have come in numbers however, it doesnt seem like they can do what theyre here for.
