Unfortunately, or fortunately (depend on who you ask), uni is back and rn I’m on my sixth semester, so I’ll decrease the update from 5 chapters/week to 3 chapters/week (Monday-Wednesday-Friday).
Sorry and thanks for the attention, happy reading~
The next morning after returning from the town of Cid.
As soon as I ate breakfast, I started setting up a large amount of furniture I had bought in town the day before in each room.
Once the furniture was taken out of the different storage spaces, all I had to do was make minor positional adjustments to set it up.
If I don’t like the location, I can easily re-store it in a different space and change the arrangement.
This storage ability is very useful after all.
I listen to the opinions of the residents and work with them to create the rooms.
The furniture installation work started in the morning, and by noon, almost all the rooms were finished.
The last thing I did was to create a living room for all the residents to use.
A table and sofa were placed just inside the entrance, and cupboards were placed at various locations along the walls. Behind that is a set of chairs and a table, and the floor is covered with a red carpet. By the way, I bought a fluffy one at Yggdrasil’s request. It seems to be hot depending on the time of year… Two sofas were purchased and arranged so that they form an L shape. One small stool is placed across the table.
This space would be the lobby of an inn, but no one comes in and out of the house but us anyway.
So, this space became a shared living room.
There are some cushions on the sofa.
「Soft~…… funya~……」
And apparently, Behemoth liked the sofa and cushions so much that she curled up with them like a real cat.
From the outside, they are extremely adorable.
Yggdrasil was sitting next to her, playing with Behemoth’s hair and animal ears. Behemoth, however, does not show any signs of being particularly displeased and just goes along. Titan and Dragon God use the table and chair set up behind the sofa, Demiurge and Phoenix sit on the rest of the sofa, and I on a stool.
The finished living room was filled with everyone who lived in the house.
「Now, that was yesterday, and we’re off to the Cid again, this time to the Adventurers’ Guild.」
「Umu. You will seek out the demons with information from the humans.」
「Yes. If we don’t do anything, we won’t be able to collect many Anima Crystals to be absorbed by the World Tree. To improve efficiency, we must gather information from the Adventurers’ Guild.」
Demiurge nodded and we began our discussion before heading back to the town of Cid.
We had been able to recover a large number of Anima Crystals from the greyhounds on our recent trip to Cid. Considering this, we should still consider it essential to operate outside the forest.
To do so, we would inevitably need to obtain information on demons from the Adventurers’ Guild.
「First of all, the members who will accompany me this time, if it is just to retrieve information, there is no problem if I act alone, what do you think?」
「No, perhaps it would be more efficient to go straight to hunting demons. If we find a good hunting ground, how about having Yggdrasil set up another portal?」
「Yu-chan, I’ll take care of it!」
「I see. Then we should still go to Cid with the four of us this time, but…」
No, wait? Come to think of it, before we went to Cid last time, I had suggested to Demiurge that we have a date in town.
Since I couldn’t move as much as I wanted last time, I had completely lost track of the area.
So, why not just go on a date after the information gathering?
This time, however, I have business with the Adventurers’ Guild.
Everyone here has an eye-catching appearance. Demiurge goes without saying.
The guild is often filled with the same kind of gangsters we had encountered the day before.
If we enter a guild with women and children in tow, we may attract strange attention and get tangled up.
It would be nice if we could handle them well, but there seems to be a high possibility that Demiurge will provoke them as she did yesterday, or conversely, someone from our side will take advantage of their provocation.
In any case, in this room are Demiurge, the creator god, Yggdrasil, the spirit of the world tree, and the four powerful demons: Phoenix, Titan, Dragon God, and Behemoth.
It is easy to imagine a future in which they will easily go berserk if they are made fun of by humans.
If this were to happen, there would be a brawl like the one that broke out the other day in the guild, and people would be injured.
Of course, it would be those who got involved who would be injured.
However, there is no point in going to the guild if we can’t get information about the important demons after causing a commotion.
「No, it’s just me this time. I just need to get information from the guild, there is no problem with just one person.」
「Ehh~?! Stay at home~~?!」
Yggdrasil puffs out her cheeks at my suggestion.
Her hands were also somewhat rough as she fluffed up Behemoth.
「If enter guild with too many people, we’ll only stand out. It’s better if I go alone.」
I hate to say it, but it would avoid some trouble if these guys weren’t around.
Besides,
I stare at the Demiurge diagonally across from me.
Then Demiurge blushed and showed a bashful expression on its cheeks.
「Wh-Wh-What is it, husband? Stare at me like that…」
「No, Demiurge is still the prettiest and cute beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.」
「Wh-wh-wha?! What are you talking about all of a sudden, husband?!」
Yes, as usual, my wife is very pretty.
And she’s not just cute. Her face is so well-defined that you could even call her beautiful. She has beautiful eyes like amethyst crystal and long eyelashes. A straight nose. Soft, full lips. Her translucent white skin is spotless. She is not tall, but she still has a well-balanced and wonderful style.
No man would not turn his head when looked at Demiurge.
In other words, even in the Adventurer’s Guild, she will definitely attract attention… And then, like yesterday, insolent people will mess with Demiurge…
Oh, no. I’m afraid I’m going to be unable to resist and start messing around with them before the four powerful demons.
I can’t cause another commotion after yesterday, and it would be risky to bring the girls along this time.
「That’s why I’m going up to Cid’s today on my own.」
「Wh-What’s the reason for that?! Give me a good reason why!」
My wife is flustered with her face bright red.
I explained to her why I couldn’t take everyone to the Adventurers’ Guild.
But Demiurge looked unconvinced.
「What is the need to be so reserved with humans? Why don’t we just beat all those who underestimate us and try to take us out?」
「That will make it difficult for us to operate in Cid in the future. I have to go to the Adventurers’ Guild to collect the Anima Crystals no matter what.」
Information on demons is always being updated. This information gathering alone cannot be the end of the story.
When information on the appearance of a high-level demon appears, we want to hunt it before other adventurers do.
The higher the rank of the demon, the higher the quality of the Anima Crystals that appear.
Anima Crystals are indispensable for growing the World Tree. However, the collection of Anima Crystals is not efficient around forests where only low-ranked demons exist, so the information on demons posted by the Adventurers’ Guild will become quite important in the future.
Whatever the case may be, they must have a base for their activities.
We cannot afford to cause problems there and be banned from the guild as in the past.
Besides, you know.
「I don’t like to see my wife treated poorly by other men. So I’m sorry, but you’re going to have to stay home this time. Please.」
「G-Geez~… that’s not fair, say it like that…」
「Sorry.」
I also regret that my date with Demiurge has been postponed, but now I have a portal for travel that Yggdrasil set up for me. We should be able to fulfill our promise in no time.
This time I was hesitant to take her with me because I was going to the guild, but if I make up for this next time, Demiurge will forgive me.
「I’ll leave after lunch. I’ll be back by the evening, so you guys stay quietly. In return, I’ll buy you some souvenirs.」
「I understand. If husband insists so much, I’ll wait for him in the forest this time… I won’t forgive you if you go out and cheat on your wife just because you’re alone!」
「I ain’t gonna do it.」
I don’t have that kind of worthiness, and the only woman who would say she likes someone like me would be Demiurge. Not like Behemoth who is trying to mate with me.
There is only one person who genuinely likes me. Then, how could I not care about that one person?
In general, even yesterday, that weird girl knight… Kiriha called me a featureless, mob guy… I’m getting sad when she said it.
Well, that’s fine. The fact that I have an inconspicuous face means that nothing will happen that Demiurge will be worried about, and I won’t get tangled up with anyone in the guild either.
Unless I knew someone, but two years ago, I was never active in the town of Cid, and by extension, the whole of Leengard. That’s a long way from where I was active as the hero, and it’s a pretty rural town. No one would know I was Ares the Hero.
As long as I don’t make any conspicuous movements, I won’t attract any attention.
「Don’t worry about it. You and I are one in mind, body, and even soul… No matter what happens, I won’t do anything to make you sad.」
「Uu… don’t stare at me so straight… you’re embarrassing me.」
Demiurge turns red up to her ears and looks away.
Every reaction was so cute that I couldn’t help but want to hug and kiss her.
「Haha, I knew you were cute.」
「Wha?! H-Husband!」
Then, as we’re talking,
「Wow~ they’re showing off… these two…」
「Y-Yes… it’s a completely two-person world.」
「Fufu… mother seems happy…」

「Muu~… Ares, only care the Lord…」
「Whatever. Let’s get dinner soon.」
I get a variety of reactions from everyone who peeks in on me and Demiurge, including dismay, smiles, jealousy, and indifference.
However, I was mostly occupied with Demiurge and paid little attention to the reactions of those around me.
I began preparing for lunch. After a simple meal, I began preparing to leave for the town of Cid.
