Ch 422 Demi-Humans Tavern

Oh you came back. (Naofumi)

After purchasing the filorials, we joined up with Father-in-law.

How was it? Are they worth it? (Naofumi)

I dont know if they are good or bad. (Motoyasu)

I show the Filorial eggs to Father-in-law.

What kind of child will be born?

Im looking forward to the answer!

So a bird-like monster will be born from these eggs? (Naofumi)

Yes! (Motoyasu)

And you bought three? Well we would travel more quickly but theres no time to grow.. them (Eclaire)

Ah, Im rubbing the eggs (Naofumi)

If you do that theyll grow too fast!! (Eclaire)

clair seems to have misunderstood the filorials.

I would also make it possible to teach them human speech in three days.

How long will it take?

Two weeks maybe? Skilled warriors can raise filorials in 2 weeks so Ive heard. (Eclaire)

Two days is all I need to hatch them. (Motoyasu)

No wayThats too early Is this the power of a hero? (Eclaire)

I nod at clair question.

This can be proven in Father-in-laws previous territory.

That pig had trained those demons well.

Is that the reason? So thats why Motoyasu-kun will be able to handle so many (Naofumi)

That seems to be the case (Eclaire)

If possible, lets take a break to the nearby town. (Emissary)

I traveled to a nearby town with Father-in-law.

Although Ive never been in a neighbouring country to Melromark Ive heard there was a lot of famine north.

The sign hanged there says: Demi Humans Tavern.

Demi Humans Tavern Certainly this is the perfect place to hide the hero of the shield, Iwatani-dono. (Eclaire)

Yes. I would be most grateful if we could reach toward the back of the tavern as soon a possible. (Emissary)

Should I get off here? (Naofumi)

Father-in-law steps down from the carriage, and then stretches.

Not surprised that he is nauseous.

GAhThat ride hasI feel a little motion sick.. (Naofumi)

Its not due to a horse pulling the wagon, but the wagon itself.

The wagon is too small and restrictive.

Now, inside here. (Emissary)

As we entered, the Silt Welt Emissary made his way to the barkeeper.

Our story is in this letter. Please read it carefully. (Emissary)

The barkeeper opened the back door of the tavern, signaling us to come over.

I head in before Father-in-law to scout the corridors in order to make sure it is safe and secure. I signal back to him that it is indeed so. ( `)b

I didnt know Id have to be so cautious (Naofumi)

Thats right. In this world, someone will always try to hunt and prey upon on you. (Motoyasu)

Well That seems to be the case for most worlds. (Naofumi)

Accompanied by the Emissary, we were ushered into a room and stopped inside.

And inside this stone room, there is a switch that leads to a hidden room.

And thats because this country was originally an enemy of Melromark.

Me and Father-in-law are being vigilant in that we are not standing close to the windows.

We sit on the bed together, and Father-in-law looks incredibly fed up.

Im not sick because of the carriage Im sick because Ill be hiding in the end. (Naofumi)

If theres something you need I, Motoyasu, will obtain it. (Motoyasu)

Hmmmm. I already ate food If anything, a hot bath would be nice (Naofumi)

Hey you, is there a bath large enough in this town? (Mototasu)

There is not, but we can simply fill hot water inside barrels. (Emissary)

A barrel bath? I wonder if it will still feel as good (Naofumi)

You are going to take a bath? Then allow me to guard you. (Eclaire)

Youre going to escort him? You do know that youll have to watch Father-in-law bathing? (Motoyasu)

Nn? Ofcourse I have to watch him. (Eclaire)

Wait, Eclaire-san will watch me bathe!? (Naofumi)

Father-in-law is blushing.

clair, having guessed the reason, began to explain in a hurry.

No! Youre wrong Iwatani-dono! I only look to serve as a guard, not a slut!! (Eclaire)

Hahaha! clair plans on protecting Father-in-law-san privately? Then I, Motoyasu, shall also protect Father-in-law! (Motoyasu)

MuI do not doubt Kitamura-donos abilities. I believe your words. However, please believe me when I say that I shall only act as a guard and not anything else. (Eclaire)

It will be fine. My comrades will accompany Lady Seaetto. (Emissary)

Several pigs were brought in by the Silt Welt Emissary and stand beside clair.

Its like that. While Iwatani-dono is bathing, they will wash his body (Emissary)

I see, I see. (Motoyasu)

Father-in-law breaks his gaze from Eclair as she looks embarassed.

Iwatani-dono You seem to be misunderstanding something, but that is (Eclair)

What are you guys talking about?

Im so, so sorry! I know I shouldnt be thinking about those things. (Naofumi)

Its okay!I was just thinking that we could bond as companions (Eclaire)

Y-Yeah! I would definitely feel at ease with you as a companion!

Right! You are a very important companion to me. Thats why I feel the need to protect you. (Eclaire)

(TN: Friendzoned:()

Oh? For some reason, the pigs are feeling sheepish around clair.

The Silt Welt Emissary got up from his seat and went to fetch hot water.

Im sorry. (Naofumi)

I was rejected wasnt I Motoyasu-kun? I had a feeling I would stay single. I mean (Naofumi)

Father-in-law starts to explain his actions. What happened between you and clair?

Eclaire-san probably thinks the same like the others That Im only the Shield Hero who deserves special treatment right? If they gave me a harem, I would reject it. I just want to be adored by people like her

(Naofumi)

Hmmm? This is different how Father-in-law would usually react.

He even prohibited romance in his village.

Apparently the pigs brought in the by the Silt Welt Emissary caused Father-in-law to blush and force a conversation.

I heard that when we arrive in Silt Welt, Ill be engaged to a beautiful wife and theyre already setting the wedding but (Naofumi)

Shellbe dangerous. (TN: Referring to Mysterious Bride)

Un. I thought Melromarks princess was beautiful but something seems off about her. (Naofumi)

I know Father-in-law. You should be vigilant and cautious of pigs. They will change colors even in different countries, especially that red one.. (Motoyasu)

I didnt notice it since she was so flirty, but now Ill be cautious. (Naofumi)

Father-in-law is right.

I, Motoyasu, truly admire his learning ability.

According to Motoyasu-kuns story This part of the world is dangerous, so Silt Welt might be the same. (Naofumi)

Nn (Motoyasu)

I dont remember going to Silt Welt, but you need to be careful in another world nonetheless.

After all, Silt Welt is a country that will attempt anything to obtain the shield hero.

Well Father-in-law-sans slaves under Silt Welt joined voluntary, and even a daughter of nobility had joined. Is that how it happened?

I should be able to remember it

And it existed in a time I was aware of.

In retrospect, before I came to this world, I was handsome and conceited. Women used me for personal gain and sought my genes.I was wrong for thinking they were companions.

Since long ago, a womans face is the most valuable asset.

That is the way of thinking that has been embedded into our consciousness.

However, Women are only pigs that are only beautiful on the outside.

Likewise, the pigs will only love your outside.

I finally learned that after coming to a different world.

After the spirit turtle incident, the world became cold and I was betrayed by my companions.

I will never forget my feelings at that time.

But then Firo-tan came to me when my mind was violent and my heart ached.

Oh It was in that moment that I wanted to live in this world if there was love.

So, the world isnt that painful.

Yes! Please Father-in-law, do not think your first love is irreplaceable and place everything into one person. You should not use the word love if you alone cannot be happy. (Motoyasu)

Trust me Im a guy Ill probably do it anyways haha. Dont worry, Ill be careful. (Naofumi)

Silt Welt sent aid to us because I am their God but I wonder Are they really allies? I hope they arent planning to abuse us. (Naofumi)

Indeed Father-in-law, I was just thinking the same thing.
