Everyone’s wounds healed quickly and I could hear exclamations from the slaves who had regained their strength.
Good good, this time there were no slaves who had been cursed or excessively gutted.
I know there are some, of course, and the deal is that I can return them because they’re already too troublesome.
But that’s a hassle too.
By the way, the burnt woman from earlier has become a beautiful lady.
Hmmm, those slanted eyes, I feel like I’ve seen them somewhere before….
「Hey you! Come here!」
「Eh? Ah, yes….」
I don’t know why but Chicken pulled the hand of the newcomer and took her somewhere.
Is there something with her?
「Kyaaaa!!」
I heard a loud cheer at the headquarters. I wonder why.
Well, it has nothing to do with me.

It was a windy night with powdery snow blowing on the glass of the window.
Laura-san and I were sitting across from a board game board in a room full of magic construct beasts we had made for the investigation.
Winter is a season of leisure and Laura-san is pregnant so there was nothing else we could do but pass the time with indoor games.
「Mou, wait a minute.」
「I’ll only wait twice.」
「You say that even though you let me start over and over again as many times as I want.」
「Then, let’s start the next game.」
Pouting, Laura-san raised her hands up and stretched out her back. After that, she lifted the kitten magic construct on her lap and put it on the table.
The kitten moved its short legs a little and settled on the board and then, stopped moving.
「Fuu….now we can’t continue playing.」
「Yeah~, I already won.」
Laura-san, who had done such a childish act, didn’t care about what I said and took a sip of tea and said, “I want to drink sake in winter.”.
No, you can’t. We are both going to stay sober until the baby is born.
