Guided by the little Fenrirs, we proceeded deeper and deeper into the forest.

They probably knew that I was tired from the fight with the catfish, as the little Fenrirs revived their search and destroy.

Every time they defeat a monster, they wagged their tails wildly while saying Praise us, praise us, as they brought the monsters corpse over holding it with their mouth, so monster materials are rapidly piling up within my storage bag.

I probably have gotten considerably used to dismantling using Cut, as I can now generally finish it in about thirty seconds.

Rather, the little Fenrirs pace is too fast, if I cant even do that, I wouldnt be in time.

If they say Praise us, Ill naturally praise them since theyve worked hard.

However, they become more and more eager from the praises, and continued their search and destroy, I cant judge whether this is a virtuous cycle or a vicious one.

Even so, we seem to approaching our destination little by little, as one of the little Fenrirs clung onto my back and said Were almost there, almost there.

Their residence which we arrived at is a large cavern.

Inside it are walls where like the ones from the Labyrinth of Strength, light is rising from the surface, and is quite bright.

And, probably controlled by magic or something, the temperature within the cavern was neither too hot nor too cold, and is kept at a comfortable temperature.

Youre living in quite the nice place, arent you!

As I talked to the little Fenrirs, they said Comfortable, comfortable, rolled around the floor and started playing.

Divine Beast Fenrir-sama seem to have arrive before us, and looked at us playing around as she smiled happily.

Good work in protecting my children. How was it, werent they helpful?

Divine Beast Fenrir-sama proudly said that to me.

Un, shes quite the doting parent.

I thought that for a moment, but since theres no doubt they were helpful, I expressed my gratitude and said Yes! They helped me a lot

Mama, we were helpful, werent we helpful?

Two of them, aside from the one clinging onto my shoulder, ran over to Divine Beast Fenrir-sama, and dived at her.

*Fwump*, a soft sound of impact was made, and they snuggled up to their parent, Divine Beast Fenrir-sama, pat her with their paws and behaving like spoilt children.

Divine Beast Fenrir-sama just left it as it is as she gazed at them.

Speaking of the other kid who was clinging onto me.

There wasnt a foothold, so he climbed up from my back with all his might, and finally manage to reach the top of my head, and made a triumphant look.

Naturally, my head is smaller than this kid, so it was quite unstable, but hes hanging on quite well.

Well, lets just leave him until he gets tired of it.

This kid was the one who got stabbed by the adventurer, but its quite attached to me, isnt he.

Name: Fenrir (Child)

Race: Divine Beast

Status: Under Tame (Myne)

Skill

Magic Eye of Gravity

Ultra Regeneration

Ability

Strong Legs

Eh? Really??

I didnt use Tame though?

Why, why??

Fenrir-sama!? Something bad has happened!?

I was panicking, and Divine Beast Fenrir-sama called out o me.

Hm? Whats wrong, Myne

I dont know why, but this kid was Tamed by me

Tame Enslvement? Theres certainly such a Skill.

Myne, did you use it on that child?

No, not at all. I had it from the start, but Ive never used it

Fumu, boy, come here for a while

As Divine Beast Fenrir-sama called out to the little Fenrir who climbed on my head, it barked Waun, jumped down from my head, and ran towards her mother at full speed.

For while, the two people (?) talked about something, and the little Fenrir once again returned to me.

Then, it clawed its way up my back again, and climbed on top of my head as if to say that it was the best position.

I tried talking to the child, but there doesnt seem to be any doubt that hes particularly attracted to something from you.

In the first place, its impossible to Tame us Divine Beasts, so I didnt really understand the mechanism behind it since there isnt any precedent.

Un, is this okay?

As I thought that, I gently raised the little Fenrir who was on my head with both of my hands, and brought it in front of me.

What is it, it said, as it wagged its tail happily, making a flapping sound, and stared at me.

Since the person (?) himself didnt mind, it should be okay. (TLN: To explain the (?) and the one before this, the words are and . In both the words, the second kanji is person, so the (?) is questioning whether theyre people)

Well, if you act reliably, then there wouldnt be any particular problems

Un, Ive also obtained authorisation from the parent.

But Ill be going back tomorrow, you know?

As I said that, the little Fenrir who had been wagging his tail stopped wagging, and looked at me with sad puppy eyes.

Dont leave, dont go

While saying that, it lightly bit my arm.

Even if he says that, I have to return, and after this Ill return to the capital and the wedding ceremony is waiting for me.

As I looked towards Divine Beast Fenrir-sama with a troubled face, as expected, she was also making one.

In the end, both Divine Beast Fenrir-sama and I took several ours to persuade him with Ill come back again, and somehow gotten him to agree.

In the middle of the persuasion, the remaining two little Fenrirs also said No and burst into tears, which made it really difficult.

By the way, the remaining two didnt get Tamed.

In the end, I didnt manage to understand why only one of them got Tamed.

After the long persuasion, they are finally going to sleep, but the three kids came to me and said Lets sleep together, so we lied down together.

I fell asleep in a blink of an eye since the kids fluffy fur feel really good.

Un, a whole lot of things happened today.

This match will end tomorrow, so lets do our best!

Well then, good night!!!

You lost sight of Myne-donos whereabouts!?

Hearing the report from my subordinate, I became dizzy instantly.

Although Myne-dono is a commoner, he is the fiance of the First Princess Her Highness Sylphid.

There mustnt be even the slightest chance of anything happening to him.

How did you lose sight of him!?

As I raised my voice, one of my subordinates apologetically replied.

Actually, Myne-dono crossed over the designated area, and proceeded deeper into the forest

The person in charge tried to chase after him, but was obstructed by a monster, and he lost sight of him while battling

I see, he exited the area, which means there is possibility of meeting extremely strong monsters.

If he were to battle with such monsters, it will certainly take time.

However, isnt that bad in itself?

Stepping into such an area by himself, there will be danger to his life.

This games results have already been determined, a fixed game, so to speak.

Her Highness Sylphids fiance cannot lose his life for such a farce.

With the course of events, I understand that the plan would not be feasible if he doesnt participate.

However, in my opinion, considering the danger to himself, I really did not want him to participate.

Nothing can be done this late into the game, and His Highness Alto and Her Highness Sylphid have approved that he will be alright.

I will believe in those words for now, and can only pray that he will be safe.

Quickly contact the royal capital send for two platoons from the first and second knight units.

As soon as they arrive, we will search for Myne-dono

Yessir! Understood!

Please let us make it, I wished in my mind.

Myne-dono is a commoner, so he is different from the usual nobles we meet, and has an extremely likeable disposition.

The conversation I had with him last night was indeed pleasant.

A character like his becoming a part of royalty is something we knights really welcome.

Yes, a new royal family.

There isnt anything to be dissatisfied about with the current royal family, but if Myne-dono is added into it, I feel like it will change into something else.

Although we only had a short conversation, his personality made me feel expectation.

The wedding ceremony which will be held before long will be the first step towards that.

Thats why, we absolutely cannot lose him in such a place.

Please let us make it, I once again mutter in my heart.

AN:

Thank you very much for always reading.

Please take care of me from now on as well.

I seem to have caught a full blown cold.

My headache is really bad and I cant put any sentences together.

It might be impossible to upload tomorrow.

Please forgive me if that happens.

If I can update, I was thinking of ending this long Divine Spirit Forest arc.

Please take care of me.
