As the knights were cleaning up the base camp, the knight leader called out to me.
Come to think of it, Myne-dono.
Since you went to the trouble to hunt them, why dont we totalise them?
Thats true, Ive went to the trouble to beat the catfish and the others after all.
Lets have a look.
If its not a hassle, please!
Yes, gladly. Well then, can you take it out over there?
I placed the portion that only I hunted at the place he specified.
At first, the knight leader and the surrounding knights had calm expressions, but as the amount accumulated, their expressions changed into that of surprise.
M, Myne-dono Did you really hunt this many?
Yes, this kid is really good at finding monsters, so searching for an enemy didnt take much time at all!
The knights all turned their sight at the same time towards the little Fenrir, who was yawning Fuwaa on top of my head.
After they stared at the little Fenrir for a while, they returned to checking the accumulated materials once again.
After about 10 minutes passed since the knights started their work, the knight leader raised his voice.
T, t, this is!??
At the place the knight leader who raised his voice pointed was the catfish materials.
Myne-dono, I dont think its possible, but that catfish type monster is that a Catfish? (TLN: Catfish English katakanised, catfish Japanese word)
Yes! Its a big catfish-san!
As I spiritedly reply, the little Fenrir said Wafu! as raised one paw, and supported it.
Seriously
Somehow, your speech suddenly got informal, you know?
Sigh, His Highness Alto approved of you, so
I am told by the knight leader that this catfish-kun.
The subjugation records in the past can be counted.
Contrary to its appearance, its meat has an extremely refined taste, and is quite delicious, but it only has worth as material.
No, rather, most of its body can be eaten, so as an ingredient, the whole body is valuable.
However, it requires an extremely large amount of effort to defeat this guy.
At any rate, it doesnt really appear from underwater.
It was the same as when I fought it, but it came out from the water for only an instant.
Moreover, it fired a powerful magic towards me in that one moment.
Its an extremely troublesome monster to people who dont have powerful long range attacks.
Therefore, the average adventurer and knight can hardly defeat it.
Because of that, though it is certainly a delicious ingredient, it can be sold for a high price.
Considering the time and effort and injuries when obtaining it, it is a monster everyone keeps their distance from.
Such a rarely seen monster has been dismantled and is in front of him.
Well, even the knight leader would raise his voice.
After that, while periodically hearing voices of astonishment raised from here and there, I wait for the end of the assessment.
That was many so it took some time, but little Fenrir helped me to kill time, so I wasnt bored at all.
GaoGao, Wafuu!
Which reminds me, if were going to live together, he will need a name.
Ill discuss it with Sylphy and Aisha once I return.
While thinking that and squishing the little Fenrirs paw pad, the knight leader started talking to me with a tired voice.
Myne-dono, thank you for waiting.
Firstly, the dismantling of the materials are flawless.
Honestly speaking, even if we overlook their cheating, it will still be Myne-donos victory.
You really overdid it
Im really shocked for some reason, but Ive worked hard so isnt it alright?
They then decided to purchase the materials, and we returned to the royal capital.
Well then, can I talk to King-sama about Fenrir-sama?
Aah, thats not a problem.
You must correctly convey my message to the king.
If that king takes my words lightly at that time, he will experience regret firsthand
Aah, thats a grave responsibility.
If I dont explain well, a dreadful situation of Divine Beast vs Hume might occur.
Im quite nervous.
What, theres no need to think so deeply about it.
If you like, you can tell the King about your power.
Theres probably no one who would think of opposing someone who has the Divine Beast Fenrir-sama as his backer, kukuku
She inadvertently said a dangerous thing.
This Divine Beast-sama.
However, speaking frankly about my ability huh.
Come to think of it, Ive thought about it before.
As long as I dont have a great backer, I cant be open about it.
Certainly, if its Divine Beast-sama, she would be enough as the great backer I thought of.
Rather than opening up after my marriage, and living in fear, it might be better to open up before the marriage, and break it off.
Myne-dono, Myne-dono
Eh?
Dont just Eh?. We will soon reach the royal capital
While I was recalling the conversation on what I should do from now on with Divine Beast Fenrir-sama, we seem to have arrived at the capital.
Now then, Ill have to meet Ou-sama and convey Divine Beast Fenrir-samas message.
Wafu?
He was probably worrying, looking at my condition.
Unusually, the little Fenrir wasnt on my head, but rolled into a ball on my lap, and licking my hand.
Itll be alright, no need to worry about me
Cheer up, cheerfulness is the most important, Gao
Encouraged by the little Fenrir, a smile reflexively surfaced on my face.
Un, thats right! Smiles are the most important!
After all, sooner or later, Ill must walk on this path.
The peerless Divine Beast-sama will become my backer!
There isnt anything happier than this.
Bring out your courage, Myne!!
Ooh, Myne! Its good that you returned safely
Ou-sama greeted me with a smile across his whole face.
The game this time proceeded just as planned, so of course he would be happy.
Presently, Claude and the others seems to be under intense investigation.
Since we have to quickly safeguard the dragon child, and return it to its parent.
The knight leader isnt good with deceiving with words, so theyd probably be tortured or something.
Though they are paying for their actions, it doesnt really feel good, so it was correct not to ask.
Thank you for your consideration, knight leader!
Myne.
I heard that you have something to report to me, but what kind of talk is it?
For now, Ill report about this times game, but
Is it possible to clear out the people?
As I said that and looked around me, Ou-sama told his surrounding close aides to withdraw, and we moved to the royaltys private room.
As expected, we cant be together alone. Alto, you come too
Brother-in-law-san who was told that by King-sama also moved with us.
Now then, lets hear it
I started talking about the things that occured in the Divine Spirit Forest.
I then talked about meeting Divine Beast Fenrir-sama, and the adventurers hired by Claude attaching the slave collar and showed hostility.
Those damn fools!!!!
King-sama and Brother-in-law-san were both exasperated with Claude and the others foolish move.
Well, thats natural.
Even I thought the same thing.
Wait, Myne Did you say Divine Beast Fenrir-samas children?
That carefree wolf relaxing on your head Dont tell me
Yes, he is Divine Beast Fenrir-samas child
He seems to have noticed us talking about him.
He greeted, Wafu!, as he raised his right hand.
No, thats cute but, what are you doing to the King-sama and the next King-sama?
It probably lost interes, and once again started relaxing on top of my head.
I, I cant believe it The Divine Beast-sama from legends in front of me
It must have been quite the shock.
Both of them were visibly trembing, no, getting flustered.
However, the talk wont proceed if this goes on.
Ill forcibly proceed with the talk!
I took out the three Slave Collars from my storage bag.
King-sama, these are the Slave Collars attached to this kid and his siblings.
I thought that it might be useful so I brought it with me
I handed the collars to Brother-in-law-san.
These are certainly Slave Collars.
Thanks for the help, Myne
And, at that moment, Brother-in-law-san who looked like he suddenly recaleld something looked at me and asked.
Wait? Slave Collars can only be taken off by the person who attached it in the first place, right?
How is it off without any incident?
!! As expected, its here!!!
Now then, bring out your courage, Myne.
I used my Skill
My answer was probably outside their expectations.
They didnt think that I would talk about my Skills.
Both of them looked at each other and made surprised expressions.
Whats with that? Didnt you not want to talk about your Skills?
Yes, that is certainly the case.
For the time being, can we put that aside and continue the report?
Both of them nodded their head and said Yeah, and urged met o continue.
I then conveyed the message from Divine Beast Fenrir-sama.
There will be no next time, huh
Chichiue, isnt this rather a silver lining?
At any rate, though Divine Beast-samas child was stabbed to death, he promptly acted
Thats true, I cant express my gratitude with just thanking him, huh
I then told them about DIvine Beast Fenrir-sama calling me her friend.
About her children getting attached to me, and leaving behind them, but he still followed me.
I then talked more about my relationship with the Divine Beast parent and child.
Also, Divine Beast Fenrir-sama said this.
If I deem necessary, I can talk about my Skills without fear
A Divine Beast-sama becoming a human individual his backer, you say!!?
Wafu!
Probably reading the flow of the talk, the little Fenrir howled. (TLN: I have no idea what wafu is even supposed to be.)
As if affirming the current talk.
I see, I dont know what kid of secret there is to your Skill, but
Divine Beast-sama protecting you Such an amazing thing happened, huh
I nodded silently.
Fumu, Myne. We are one royal family, before hearing about your Skill, can I meet Divine Beast-sama?
King-sama seemed to have thought up something, and asked me that.
I dont know without asking, but it should probably be alright
All of a sudden, it has been arrange that the royal family and I will have a talk with Divine Beast Fenrir-sama.
Now then, I wonder what will happen.
I hope the talk will go well.
AN:
Thank you very much for always reading.
Please take care of me from now on as well.
Thank you for sending in lots of names for the little Fenrir.
Please take a look if you like.
I think the decided name will come out around chapter 76 or 77.
Please take care of me from now on as well.
