Episode 13. Legacy of the first warrior (1)
“Towel and water.”
I handed each towel and water to Tina and Iris. The two approached and took it without me having time to react.
“As expected, Master! It’s full of sense!”
“Thank you, I will drink well.”
Tina was still cheerful, and Iris was polite.
I watch two people drinking water while wiping their sweat with a towel.
As I got older, I got taller and my breasts began to appear. At the same time that they started to have a feminine body shape, muscles were located all over their bodies.
It looked very solid.
When I moved my arms, I was amazed to see the muscles that flexibly split.
“Huh? Master, what are you looking at?”
Feeling my gaze, Tina is puzzled.

“…… You look better now than when you were skinny.”
“My master cooks such delicious dishes. It’s rather strange if you don’t gain weight. Right, Iris?”
“Yes. I also always eat the dishes Master cooks with gratitude.”
Iris said as she closed the lid of her water bottle. She seemed to have finished drinking quickly.
The fluffy white tail sways from side to side as if it feels better after replenishing moisture. I want to touch you. I think it will be very soft. Be sure to ask for permission later.
“Considering that you made me stronger so that I won’t lose my rights, I think it won’t be enough even if I repay the favor for the rest of my life.”
“…… That’s not what I was hoping for.”
Because of her other thoughts, she answered a beat late.
“I know. Master is simple, and he is a thoughtful person who thinks of others before himself.”
He also kicks up. Are you doing this as a group and meg?
She looked suspiciously at Iris as she picked out words that didn’t match my speech and behavior at all.
She made eye contact with me and tilted her head cutely at her. Her ears perched on top of her head flapped.
“Did I say something wrong?”
“…… It is nothing.”
“Anyway… I plan to stay by Master’s side for the rest of my life. Even if I go back to where I lived anyway, my family isn’t here…….”
What is he talking about?
After the Human Demon War is over, there will be no fighting against the demons until I and the warriors die.
In other words, the role of the warriors was right up until the War of the Demons.
So even if you leave me and spend your whole life enjoying the freedom, no one will say anything. Still, to be by my side, which is not fun.
I don’t understand.
“Are you serious?”
“I am serious.”
I scratched my head as I watched her speak steadfastly.
“Yes… …. Let’s just say that.”
Even though he said that, he was filled with anxiety inside.
My plan to get an ordinary woman living in the countryside would be ruined if I had children…….
To be honest, I have already tried dozens or hundreds of delusions of dating and marrying heroes and nobles, who are characters from the game.
However, as I got closer to them, I was afraid that my ‘weakness’ would be exposed.
Actually, if I found out that I was f*cking weak, I might have to take back the karma I’ve been arrogantly talking and swearing at.
I don’t like that, so I’ve tried my best not to have a personal relationship…….
It looks like it’s all rolled up.
“Yes. That’s it for now.”
Iris laughed. Tina, who saw that, also raised her hand like a grumpy person.
“Master! Me too! I’m staying with you too. I will stay with you for the rest of my life until I am old.”
It was a really pointless sense of competition.
“…… If it doesn’t change even then, I won’t stop it. Of course, I won’t stop you even if you leave the house.”
“Then, if you don’t leave, then it will be a complete ‘family’ instead of a master and disciple! Ehehehe.”
Iris and I looked at Tina, who smiled brightly, mesmerized.
Recognizing our reaction belatedly, she looks back and forth between me and Iris. The more I looked at her, the more the smile faded from her face, and I began to look at her.
“Uh… uh? Did I say something wrong?”
“Family… …. I see.”
The corners of Iris’ mouth drew an arc. At her Tina’s words, she shook her head saying that she would like her.
“No. You’re right.”
“Ah… huh… …. Is it too? Whoa, did you do that on purpose to make fun of me?”
Should I say that it is an idea that can be made because it is naive?
She thought it was very fresh, but at the same time, somewhere, a corner of her chest throbbed. It was a longing, yet sad feeling.
Is this a real family…….
As she pondered over her words, she suddenly felt a sense of incongruity.
Why did the story of family bring to mind the face of Parocco, not the parents in the other world?
…… I do not know.
“…… Master?”
As I was lost in thought for a moment, I heard a familiar voice.
When she came to her senses and looked behind her, Maria vaguely reached out for her, her blonde hair licking.
“Is it Maria?”
“Yes. Wait a minute while practicing magic… I went to a place where no one was there. Even if there is a barrier, mana can run out of control. By the way, what were you talking about?”
“That… ….”
“We decided to live together with the master for the rest of our lives!”
You shortened it too much.
It seemed to Tina that she should never be tasked with relaying her words. Her speech was perfect for building misunderstandings.
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
Maria’s eyes turn to Iris. She seemed to have decided that if she asked Tina, she wouldn’t get a straight answer.
She was frankly wise.
“… I just thought it would be nice to be together if nothing special happened.”
“Ah… I see Certainly it would be better to do so. Master’s cooking is really delicious.”
Iris didn’t think much of it, and Maria said yes.
“But doesn’t Iris want to go back to her hometown where she came from?”
“Huh?”
Iris made a dumbfounded noise at Maria’s question. She also seemed perplexed.
“Teacher told me. If Princess Se-ri ascends the throne, she will be freed from slavery, so she can go back to where we used to live.”
“… ….”
She bit her lip. She couldn’t easily get her words out of Maria’s words.
After being silent for a while, Iris tried to smile her eyes. It seemed to me that he was desperately trying to control his emotions.
“Even if I go again… It doesn’t make any sense. I don’t have any family or friends there anymore.”
“That’s right, but… ….”
“And I don’t think I will ever be able to live in a village again like I did back then. Living with people, I learned too many convenient things.”
Being a beast was not equal.
On the contrary, if there were more beastmen than humans, it would be more, not less. This is because the culture of the beast tribe is based on a typical rule of thumb.
The strong become the leader of the group, and the weak are ostracized and suffer all kinds of humiliation.
That was their culture.
To put it simply, it could be said that they were a species faithful to their instincts.
Maybe that’s why being a slave made it easier for me to adapt.
On the other hand, the elves were basically equal.
Unless it was a special position like an elder who had a conversation with the spirit king, the status itself didn’t mean much.
Depending on my age, I only used honorifics and not used them.
That’s why Maria, an elf, couldn’t understand the reaction of Iris, a beast.
“Maria, do you know why beastmen and elves get along with people even though they are free from slavery?”
“That…… Couldn’t it be because she has no place to escape outside the empire?”
Upon hearing Maria’s answer, Iris firmly shook her head.
“Because I acknowledge that human civilization is superior.”
“Human civilization?”
“Yes. She had no choice but to be brought here because she had no strength, but after living there, she must have felt that this place was better than she thought. Of course, there are some people who are ostracized because they are of a different race, but if they get out of slavery, they can work with proper pay and do what they want to do.”
Iris had a point of view that Tina and Maria did not have.
It could be said that these words were based on her life as a slave for several months.
“And above all else, Master who values me…… No, because Prause-sama is here. I think my place is here.”
Iris secretly clings to my left arm and shyly blushes. Maria points at her, feeling her embarrassment.
“Iris you… I hope Master-“
“Me too! I will be by your side Master. Please prepare a lot of delicious dishes!”
Perhaps it was because Iris was jealous of me, Tina said, hugging her right arm. Because of that, she couldn’t hear Maria properly.
“Tina… Get off.”
“Iris is also attached, right? Asking me to leave is too much.”
Tina whined and pointed at Iris. But Iris didn’t turn her attention to Tina. She looked only at Maria and she only smiled meaningfully.
A subtle atmosphere flows between the two. Tina looked back and forth between the two, then tilted her head.
“What? Are you two fighting?”
“We are not fighting.”
“I don’t fight.”
Iris and Maria answered at the same time. Tina smiled contentedly at that and nodded her head.
“Then I’m glad!”
Thanks to Tina, the strange current between the two disappeared.
“By the way, Master, is it okay not to go to that noble meeting now?”
Tina asked after taking her eyes off the two of them.
“If there is a problem, I will have to go, but the publican will take care of it.”
Since you have done everything you can, you will do well. Because he is such a capable person.
“Then what is the schedule going forward? Can I cross the border and kill the monsters like before?”
“No. From tomorrow, we will move on to Todia territory.”
“Todia Spirit? Ah! Are you going to a duel?”
“No.”
Tina openly regrets it.
“What’s going on?”
“What’s wrong? She intends to go there and meet the water spirit king. And she will come with the ‘Sword Sword – Mare’.”
I was thinking of getting the [Sword Sword – Mare], An attribute weapon created by the Water Spirit King, somehow.
For that purpose, I sent Ariel to the spirit realm and told her to tell me.
Even if we weren’t friends, we would have been talking to each other in moderation, so I believed that he would tell the story I told him well.
And if possible, this time it was my intention to even try a ‘contract’.
