「A sunny place is really nice!」
When I woke up, I gently stood up in order to not wake the little Fenrirs who had been coiling around my body, and as I exited the cavern, I saw a bright blue sky spreading out, with not even a single cloud in it.
Since persuading the little Fenrirs continued late into the night, I feel like I woke up way later than usual.
To get rid of my drowsiness, I used a 【Continuous: Water】 pebble to wash my face, and Divine Beast Fenrir-sama lumbered out of the cavern.
『Good morning!』
I gave my usual cheerful greeting. šššššš®š£šÆš°š·ššµ.šøšš®
As I did that, Divine Beast Fenrir-sama made a calm expression and replied 『Aah, good morning』.
『Now then, Iāll hand you the monsters Iāve hunted yesterday』
As she (Divine Beast Fenrir-sama) said that, the black vortext like when I used 【Unique Magic・Space-time】 appeared. (TLN: The bracket is because this is the first time the author used āsheā. The previous ones are my own words, because itād be really weird and tiring to type the whole thing)
It seems that this black vortex is a Divine Beastās unique ability, and is similar to a time-stop storage bag.
From within it, monster corpses spilled and fell out one by one.
Uwa, uwawawa.
So many, thereās too many!!
I was involuntarily lost for words at the monsters endlessly gushing forth.
......As expected, this amount isnāt good, the time-stop storage bagās volume isnāt enough at all.
Using the one the royal family gave me will be against the rules, so I canāt use that.
Rather, even if I were to use it, they wonāt fit, will they?
I have the 10t storage bag, but this amount is too much, and itāll go bad before itās processed.
In the first place, even with the portion I hunted with the kids yesterday, the amount was already quite terrifying.
......Really, what should I do with this?
Probably realising I made a troubled expression, she asked me what was wrong in curiousity.
As I explained the reason, she said 『Well then, Iāll take care of this』, and tossed them back into the black vortex.
In the middle of that, Divine Beast Fenrir-sama reflected, whispered『I was too enthusiastic』, and I decided to pretend that I didnāt hear that.
As Divine Beast Fenrir-sama and I talked about what will happen from now on, the kids said 『『『We woke upー』』』, and tottered out from the cavern.
Like yesterday, the three of them rushed and leapt...... towards me.
āWhy isnāt it your mother but me?ā I thought, and soon the three brats collided with me with a lot of force.
I couldnāt receive that much force, and accidentally fell on my backside, but the kids did not seem to care and licked my face.
Is it probably because Iāll soon be returning? I feel like theyāre acting much more spoiled.
...... Even with the part I hunted, it was already quite a lot for the gameās materials.
Also, Iāve hunted quite a lot of strong monsters, so I can expect a lot of points, right?
That being the case, letās play with the kids for a while.
◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇
When the sun rose to right above me, I decided to return to the base camp
The kids seem like they havenāt played enough, but as expected, itād be bad if I went back any later than this, so I once again said āIāll come back againā, and released myself.
Before returning, I 【Cut】 【Ultra Regeneration】 from the little Fenrir, and 【Paste】 【Regeneration】 in exchange.
I then 【Paste】 【Regeneration】 on the remaining two.
I must have 【Ultra Regeneration】 for emergencies! After all, I can get 【Regeneration】 easily.
『Iāve pasted 【Regeneration】 on the kids.
I donāt think there will be any cases like the one from before, but if it does happen, I think theyāll be alright』
The three of them leapt towards me in great joy.
『We wonāt get hurt anymoreー!Gaoー』 (TLN: A roar. Yes, theyāve went from howl to purr, and now roar)
No, youāll get hurt......, itās just that youāll heal.......
I explained to them properly, and warned them not to act recklessly.
......Un, Iām really worried about them.
While Divine Beast Fenrir-sama smiled, she told me āIāll look after them properly so donāt worryā.
This kids, youāll never understand what they will do.......
The time for us to separate them came.
Though it is only for the time being, as expected, I am feeling a little lonely.
『My friend, Myne. Our family will always welcome you』
『Yes, thank you very much! I can come here immediately with 【Unique Magic・Space-time】 so Iāll definitey come here again!』
Thatās right! If I am thinking of coming, I can come immediately!! I wonāt be lonely!
Saying my words of separation, I used 【Unique Magic・Space-time】.
I imagined the place I hunted my first Forest Ape, and confirmed the other side of the vortex using 【Presence Detection・Large】 which I just learned.
「......Yosh, thereās no one there!」
Looking over my shoulder, I waved my hand, and leapt into the vortex with a āEi!ā.
I confirmed the situation with my sight after I leapt, and just when I was about to close the black vortex.......
A violet little brat jumped out from the vortex with an amazing momentum!
「Eh?」
At the moment the vortex disappeared, The brat rammed into me violently.
Itās the little Fenrir who behaved like spoilt child the most.
『Wafu!!』 (TLN: KUUUDDD)
Uwa!? He followed me here!? ......What should I do.......
『Myne...... It canāt be helped so take him along with you.
If you say that heās a Fenrir, you might invite unnecessary trouble.
It would be best to pretend that heās a Forest・Wolf』
Nonono, itāll be exposed, you know! ......Wait, maybe it wonāt?
They wonāt be able to know if they donāt appraise his race, and heās still small, so his violet shade isnāt that conspicuous.
If I stick the excess Skills and Abilities on this kid, he can defend himself...... I think?
『......Understood, I will look after him.
However, if thereās an uproar, I will return him, okay?』
After emphasising that to Divine Beast Fenrir-sama, I warned the little Fenrir.
『Understand? You need to listen to what I say, okay?
Also, you canāt attack anyone other than bad guys, okay? Also if you think that something is dangerous, immediately tell me telepathically, okay?』
『Understoodー!Wafuu』
Is this really alright.......
Iām quite worried, but thereās no helping it, I guess.
As my shoulders fell dejectedly, he climbed his way up, saying āHeave-ho, heave-hoā, and got onto his usual place on my head.
While my head was patted by the little Fenrir, I walked towards the base camp.
◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇
「M, Myne-dono!? Itās good that youāre safe!!」
As soon as I arrived at the base camp, the knight leader called out to me with staggering energy.
It seems that I went too deep so they lose sight of me, and they were in an uproar.
......Is that so, with my position as a commoner hunter right now, Iām sorry.
It seems that my title as the First Princessās fiancee is more important than I thought.
Originally, he didnāt want me to participate in such a game, but because of the Kingās order and knowing the gameās real purpose, he reluctantly agreed.
Well, since itās from the knight-san and his group, itās natural, I guess.
Somehow, I feel really guilty towards them.
......However, thereās a chance that my Skills will be exposed if someone watches me as I fight, so itās inevitable from my standpoint.
However, I seem to have caused them quite a lot of trouble and worry, so Iāll have to properly apologise!
「Knight leader-san, and also the knights who searched for me...... I am very sorry for worrying you.
......Also, thank you for searching for me」
As I said that with a loud voice and firmly bowed, I apologised from the bottom of my heart.
They probably never thought that I would suddenly apologise.
Starting from knight leader-san, all the knights who were there were shocked.
「......Ah, please raise your head! Myne-dono!
As long as you understand and fortunately you returned unharmed.
Thereās no problem as long as you take care from now on」
As I raised my head, all the knights complicated expressions from before turned into smiles, and I felt relieved that my feelings were properly communicated.
「......By the way, Myne-dono, Iāve been curious since just now」
Un?
「Whatās that wolf child riding on your head?」
......Aah, thatās a natural reaction, I guess.
AN:
Thank you very much for always reading.
Please take care of me from now on as well.
I was somehow able to write. (TLN: He was sick the day before he wrote this chapter)
However, my physical condition is still as bad.
Please think that I used up all my strength if I donāt update by 6:00 tomorrow (cry)
Also, Iāve received a lot of messages and comments worrying about my physical condition.
Iāve sent thank you messages separately, but I will thank you here too.
Thank you very much.
I was very happy.
Ah, Iāve said that the game within the divine spirit forest will end, but it hasnāt.
Iām sorry.
