Following my words, Father-in-law and Eclair turned to face me, their stiff movements all but audibly creaking.

The figure of Father-in-law magnificently going and snatching away those thieves stockpiled money and goods.

After that, he was able to put the money he squeezed from them to use in fixing various issues.

What!? Sir Iwatani would go so far as to do such a thing!? (Eclair)

I dont know anything about this! Or rather, when was this even!? What is this sudden, brutal revelation! (Naofumi)

Oh? It seems Father-in-law was so abruptly embarrassed that he has grown flustered.

Personally, I thought that Father-in-law back then seemed to overflow with kingly authority, what with the way he ignored Onee-sans warnings.

Motoyasu-kun! (Naofumi)

Sir Iwatani! By no means can it be said that you were summoned for such a cause, correct? (Eclair)

The heck Future-me, how much are you guilty of! (Naofumi)

Oh? The atmosphere has been taken over by a great uproar, huh.

I wonder why?

You didnt work your slaves hard though? (Motoyasu)

Well certainly, but Even if we properly arrested the robbers, a different bandit group would just spread their influence into the vacuum, so one could say the result wouldnt vary at all. (Motoyasu)

Eclair looks shocked, looking down at her hands as she speaks.

It is not likely that Sir Kitamura would speak falsely of Sir Iwatani. Going from what I see and believe of the present Sir Iwatani, I wonder, what sort of hell did that future Iwatani experience to be able to say Something like that. Or rather, if my countrys reason has been warped to that extent For that, I wish to apologize. (Eclair)

Certainly, even when beat down again and again, they would always spring forth once more later. (Motoyasu)

I dont want that sort of scenario! (Naofumi)

Father-in-law yelled out, for some reason appearing quite confused.

Its only my former self, the me prior to my awakening as a hunter of love, that simply saw things in a way that would favor myself.

Good Grief Im once again dumbfounded by the foolishness of the man I used to be.

Motoyasu-kuns words arent about the events from this loop, right? That is to say, this time, thanks to something like the butterfly effect or force of history, its unlikely anything could force us back onto the original timeline, you could say? Right? (Naofumi)

No way Will I really be thrown out and abandoned, homeless and penniless? (Naofumi)

Father-in-law turns frightened eyes to the Silt Welt Messenger.

Unfortunately, since the me of before was interested only in pigs and net games, I dont have any accurate recollections of what the the phenomenon entails.

Honorable Shield Hero! No matter how such a thing could come about, I will never force you into such a situation, so please calm down! (Messenger)

Hm~? Naofumi, whats wrong? (Sakura)

Catching on to the current situation, Sakura-chan tilts her head.

Future Naofumi, because of a cruel experience, became able to calmly make extremely difficult decisions, or thats how it seems to me. (Yuki)

Bandit hunting? I wonder, is that tasty? (Kou)

Its not! Youre splitting off in a weird direction! Kou obtaining a taste for people would be extremely bad! (Naofumi)

For some reason, things got noisy.

As I warmly gazed into the distance, Father-in-law shouted out.

Motoyasu-kun, dont you show a face like its someone elses problem too! (Naofumi)

Dont assent! I dont want to become a villain! (Naofumi)

Father-in-laws scream echoed out across the river band.

No way I dont want that sort of experience (Naofumi)

T-thats right, huh (Naofumi)

With such a troublesome period behind us, Father-in-laws group and the filorials began to depart.

Since I would be making clothes in town, I will be housesitting.

Well then, have a good trip! (Motoyasu)

Uwaaa! Run a bit slooower! If you dont, well-! (Eclair)

W-wrap your hands into their feathers! Persevere; dont fall off! Honorable Shield Herooo! (Messenger)

Eclair and the Silt Welt Messenger are already groaning.

In passing, Yuki-chan and the others will continue their development today, even as their level stagnates.

Watching the filorials become stronger every day really softens my heart.

Naofumi, lets go~! (Sakura)

Its fine~, no matter what happens, Sakura will protect Naofumi, right? (Sakura)

Ehehe~ (Sakura)

Father-in-law and Sakura-chan are truly close, huh.

Well then, were headed out alright? (Naofumi)

Yeah. Ill work hard so I dont have to rely on Motoyasu-kuns protection, and so I can protect everyone as the Hero of the Shield. (Naofumi)

Raising his hand in a wave, Father-in-law departed with Sakura-chan.

Three sets of clothes, is it.

Since theres no trouble with dye materials, Ill make clothes that suit Yuki-chan and the others perfectly!

Before long Afternoon approached.

Finished!

I promptly readied and admired my work.

Filorials all looked flattering in a one-piece dress.

However, the foundation of the design is important.

To go with Yuki-chans white hair, I used a beige base for her dress.

A deep blue, denim-like color would definitely work for him, I think.

Given that Sakura-chan is quite intimate with Father-in-law, a cheerful bright green should bring some uniformity to her one-piece.

If I imagine everyone wearing these, an overflowing euphoria sweeps through me.

I look outside through the window.

Thereupon, I caught sight of people in the buildings shadow.

Gathering the newly made clothes and the rest of the luggage, I pack everything away.

From the shuffling sounds of footsteps, it sounds like a large number of people are gathering outside the inn.

Honorable Hero of the Spear!

With thudding footsteps, a brawny Demihuman responsible for guarding the inn comes rushing.

Whats the issue, then? (Motoyasu)

Hum (Motoyasu)

Whoops, in the middle of his words, I was distracted by a sudden spike in magic power nearby.

Nearly at that moment, massive boulders appeared above the inn and began their descent.

As a thunderous roar rises and the boulders pick up momentum, I see that at this rate the inn will be completely demolished.

Hup-!

With well placed thrusts of the spear, I halted the incessant rain of boulders.

A Ah

The collapsed demihuman was at a loss for words.

How troublesome.

The boulders finish their return to the sky and threaten their descent once more.

Brionac!

I let loose Brionac towards the boulders, turning them as well as a portion of the inns second floor to dust, before scowling at the offenders.

Considering the headcount, that just now was likely the choral magic Boulder.

Whether many of them are skilled in choral magic, or only a few, regardless their power is lackluster.

Even so Theyre more reckless than I thought.

These criminals who would suddenly fire magic at a town building or similar, even; theres no particular merit to letting them live.

These are certainly sparks enough to force my hand, but above all, they risked delaying or even damaging the clothes I prepared for Yuki-chan and the others.

These fools, I will accept only their mortal life in recompense!

Aimed Lance X!

Multi-lock! Target: these who have long surpassed the forgivable limits of foolishness!

However, they wont be able to escape from Aimed Lance with just that degree of effort.

Fire!

Throwing the spear, it multiplies and branches off into several beams of light and pierces through the Three Hero adherents that cast their magic from the inn.

Kyaaaaaah!

Screams rise from the assorted onlookers, but with the exception of the criminals, no one is rolled up in the attack.

If I did such a thing, let alone Father-in-law and Firo-tan, I wont even be able to face the filorials.

In order to honor my engagement with Firo-tan, and to faithfully protect everyones tender promises, I will follow Father-in-laws instructions For I am the love hunter!

For this conclusion, I will slaughter wholesale those who would go against Father-in-law.

H A H A H A!

Not even the devil will stop this spear! (Motoyasu)

A Ah Terrific What godlike strength (Guard)

The demihuman guard leaked out a small voice.

It appears that theyve been perfectly and completely dealt with. Even so, it seems Ill have to put in some effort to meet with Father-in-laws group.

Honestly, if I wasnt tied to Father-in-law and the others, I might just incidentally go and kill that Three Heroes Church pope and clean up the rest of this trash.
