Evening .

I had changed out of my swimsuit and went home when,

「Sui~」

For some reason the water spirit was sticking close to me .

「Umm…… . ? What’s going on here?」

I asked as my body was felt up .

「n, I think that, it felt different magic power, than usual so it was, checking . 」

「Felt different magic power?」

「You swam in the lake right? You probably, took in some of Katarakta’s, magic power . 」

「Eh? That happens?」

Well it was true that I had relaxed while being supported by Katarakta most of the time .

「Katarakta is close to being, a water spirit, and you played around with it . I think that the, water spirit might be, a bit jealous?」

「Sui~」

The water spirit spoke up and nodded as if agreeing to what Hesty said .

「I feel like you liked playing in the onsen . Maybe I should play with you there again?」

「Sui~……… . !」

The water spirit happily nodded at my words and let go of me .

「……umm, you mean like, the time when the onsen, exploded?」

「That’s right . It seems to like melting itself into the onsen water and changing shape . 」

It did that and we played together, but it ended up becoming like a geyser . The entire garden got soaked . At the time I was just glad that the clothes had been brought in before that…

「……I, didn’t think that was, playing, I thought it was some sort of, enemy intercepting system . 」

「Eh? Why?」

It wasn’t like a dragon had come to attack back then .

「The surrounding slime type monsters, approached you know?」

「…… . . really?」

「n, if you didn’t realize, then fine . When they got hit by the, onsen water, the slimes ran away . 」

Hmm, for such a thing to happen…

I didn’t realize at all .

Well, I’m glad it didn’t turn into a problem .

「The slimes are coming that often?」

「As expected, when they’re newly born, it’s hard to control . There are quite a lot of monsters, that have sworn allegiance . 」

Huh, wait a second . I just heard something new .

「There are those that have pledged allegiance to me? Are there any others than the Wolf People and Combat Rabbits?」

「That’s right . There are obviously, non-hostile monsters that came back, after seeing you . Didn’t you know that, they have been blocking monsters, that tried to intrude?」

「Really??」

I didn’t even imagine that such a thing was happening .

「Actually, why do you know so much about this Hesty?」

「n well…usually they come, while you’re asleep . I’m awake then . The monsters that are allied, with you, know that it’s dangerous when, you sleep, so they try to stop the others with all, their might . 」

Certainly I have an automatic system for repelling intruders in place for when I sleep, but I had no idea I had such helpers .

「…… . well, there are others like the, wild boar that are still hostile to you . 」

「Well, I think those guys are the type that charge in after seeing the red of the apples though . 」

But still, before I realized it I had some monsters on my side . I’m grateful that my defenses became easier to maintain…

「Aneue-sama, Anne is so sad that you left without saying anything~」

「A different type of intruder arrived . 」

「n, I guess so…… . you can’t stop this, one… . . uguuuu…」

Anne crushed Hesty in her hug . However, she wasn’t the only visitor…

「Haa……haaa…… . s-sorry Daichi-san . I tried to stop her . 」

「Yeah, don’t worry about it Manaril . It’s the usual . 」

Manaril had come as well . As they arrived…

「Master~ Dinner is ready~」

Sakura apparently finished making dinner .

Sakura carried the dishes one after the other to the garden table .

「Oh, it looks delicious as always Sakura, thank you . 」

「No no, today we exercised plenty after all . Go ahead and eat all you want . Everyone dig in . 」

「Thank you very much Sakursama!」

「Thank you for letting me partake Sakursan . 」

And so the Dragon Kings sat down as well .

More than half of the people at the table were Dragon Kings, but it was pretty normal so it wasn’t a big deal .

「Ok then, let’s eat while we decide when we’re going to the Fort City . 」

「Yay~」

And so we ate and made plans for the future .

Evening . . I had changed out of my swimsuit and went home when,.
