Living in the city has places that are busy or light at night, but there is nothing like that in the countryside.
I was given a ride by carriage to the entrance to the village, from where I was to walk.
I thank you and walk side by side with Mira.
Sometimes it's a familiar path, and sometimes it's not starlight and dark, and it goes without hesitation.
Mira says something about a bump with an inaudible voice.
Clarifying your ears, you're apparently practicing greeting.
She grips a bag full of souvenirs.
I bought souvenirs on the road because I had been home for a long time. Sometimes we were in a hurry to leave, and we didn't have enough time to buy it in a city with Demon King's Castle. I pack a lot in the backpack I carried.
"Mira, you're gonna be fine."
"No, I've already been exposed to a breakdown, and I'll never fail next time."
Defeat the example threesome? I guess I did.
Mira's first encounter with my parents is tangled up with me, which seems to be a fault.
... Well, I know how you feel. If this was an opportunity to meet Mira's parents, I would have had my head in the same situation.
I don't care if they think he's sticky... like that.
"Because I will explain properly that it was a misunderstanding. I mean, I think I already know."
"Ugh..."
The threesome didn't seem to notice much of the shock, but a little thought would tell us that everyone cared. I came down from the carriage to Mr. Ex and Mr. Arthur, all the more so.
Someone in the village who was watching that interaction would have already explained it.
It's a small village, so information turns around quickly.
While I was doing this, I got in front of the house.
"I got it."
Mira takes a deep breath.
Any adventurer intercepts with a strong heart [Queen of Vampires] is freaked out by greetings to middle-aged couples living in de countryside.
The thought of her hanging on to this one came through again, and I could see the back of her chest having a fever.
After a little hesitation, I whisper her back.
As she looks at this one, she says it like a joke.
"There's no stronger enemy than Mr. Hell, so it's okay."
Carmilla left Hervor, ranked third in the world.
To this extent, it is not enough to fear.
"... hehe, apart from that and this"
Right...... but seems to have been able to relieve tension a bit.
"Let's go"
"Yes......!
And we open unlocked doors...
"Reme......! You're home a lot!
My vision darkened.
"Shit, Mr. Lemme......!?
I hear Mr. Mira's surprise.
Flowery fragrance for a soft feel. Are you embraced, slight pressure.
I immediately realized who this was. [M]
"I'm home now...... Mr. Canary"
…… What else does it feel like to be human? Ugh... Leme believed you were thinking of me like another mother... is it Poi when you leave the village... sad... tears me up... "
Mr. Canary is Phoenix's mother.
I was close to Phoenix. I was inevitably close to his parents. On the contrary, he's also close to our parents.
That's so much so that each other's parents treat each other's children like real children.
As I was about to suffocate, I turned my arm around Mr. Canary's back and gently returned the hug.
I'm not very good at these kinds of communications, but Mr. Canary won't let me go unless I do this.
Satisfied, my vision opens.
but she was swelling her cheeks.
"You're not gonna fix your mood with a hug, are you? Tears, right? He's out, isn't he?
The age of Mr. Canary and my mother should not be so different, but it seems very unlikely from the looks of it.
I'm incredibly young when they say I'm in my early twenties. Instead, you wouldn't believe me if I told you my real age.
Yellow fluffy hair, same color eyes. She's a slutty beauty, and she hasn't aged since I was a kid.
The expression of joy and sorrow is honest, and the emotions at that time are easy to understand.
[Singer] With it, you think you were circling the world before you got married? During banquets and festivals, Mr. Canary performs his singing voice, making the adults of the village snooze.
"No, but I'm not a child anymore either..."
Mr. Canary nodded his eyes.
"'It's not your kid anymore'?
"I didn't say it. I didn't say it......!
"So do you still think of me like a mother?
I snort. [M]
"So let's start over with a reunion greeting."
I call her as a child with shame as I feel my face have fever. [M]
"... I'm home, Aunt Cana"
Eh, and her expression shone joyfully.
"Welcome back, lemme!
"What?"
I can hug you again.
"... it's embarrassing, Aunt Cana"
"What's wrong with hugging my child, who has shown his face for a long time! Yes! I'm not bad! Leme and Phoenix are bad kids! Don't come back at all, it's not good!
"I think that's bad..."
"You've grown back. Oh, my God. I've worked out my body. Yeah, yeah, you seem to be eating the rice right. What is that and a new job? She won't tell me, either. Is this your job you can't even tell your parents about?
"Hey... that's not what I'm saying. I need something to prepare my mind for. Besides, yes, I've been busy..."
Anyway, I went from being an adventurer for the brave to being a demon for the demonic brave.
It's not like I can sassy write in a letter.
"You will be able to get in touch even if you are busy......!? She'll give you the first of the month, won't she?
Well, I guess it's because I know my own mother would be in a lot of trouble with 'anger' and 'pity' if I were to fail to contact her.
"I'll be careful..."
"It's a promise, isn't it?
Come on... I didn't hear this guy was coming. But I should have predicted. Maybe my father invited me, and I could imagine coming otherwise, Haz.
Maybe it means I was nervous about introducing Mira, too.
"Here, Kana. Lemme and the woman with you will be in trouble."
It was Phoenix's father, Mr. Hawk, who gently stripped Mr. Canary from me when he said that.
Darker red hair than phoenix, both eyes in the same shade. He's tall and disappointed in his physique, but he doesn't feel intimidated because his serene personality is represented in the atmosphere.
"Hawk...... Uncle, long time no see"
"You're back well, Leme. It's good to see you."
I wasn't hugged, but my shoulders were grabbed tight. He looks happy and is considered a bum.
"Me too..."
"Well... about the party exit..."
"I don't care...... because it makes me lie, but I'm convinced myself. Plus, I like my life."
Mr. Hawk distorted his expression for a moment, but he had a mild grin when he thought there was no lie in my words.
"Right...... If you've ever met such a beautiful lady, you can snort."
Finally, the subject shifted to Mira.
My father, who heard things and came out of his room, and my mother, who was cooking silently in the kitchen, would have heard a series of conversations.
"This way, Mr. Mira. I met him at work, and now..."
"Cute!!! She's so cute!?
Mr. Canary let his eyes shine and held Mira's hand with both hands.
"I say canary. It's like Leme's mother. 'Mother-in-law' would love to call me 'Mom' as a real concession......!
"Ma, Ma, is it?
"Yes! Ugh, I wanted my daughter too, so I'm so glad. Speaking of which, lemme, what about that kid around there? They won't tell me if I ask."
That wouldn't be like wanting to talk to a real mother. No, by people...?
"If you don't tell me, I can't tell you."
"Eh.... Speaking of which, lemme, you've really become 'me', haven't you? I used to be 'me' and that was already cute. Is that kid an adult of 'me' and an imitation of me? Hehe."
I don't think so......
With Mr. Canary, the occasion is swallowed by Mr. Canary's atmosphere.
I don't usually have a problem with it, but thanks to you, Mr. Mira stays confused and her eyes black and white.
"Don't be afraid, sit down. You two will be tired from a long journey."
To my father's words, Mr. Canary looks "Shit" and soothes.
"I was...... sorry, lemme, girlfriend. Please forgive me!
"Oh, excuse me."
I can finally say it, Mira feels like.
"Here, this, that, if you please"
Mira gives you a souvenir.
She shouldn't have had time to prepare, either, just like me, but when the Demon King said, "This will surely please you! Trust the rest!" He prepared it for me.
"Thank you very much."
When my father received it, Mr. Canary approached me with sparkling eyes.
"Well, what is it? What the hell is in there? Let's open it, shall we?
"Hey, Kana"
I tell you to be embarrassed, Mr. Hawk.
"That's okay, Hawk. You said Mira, didn't you? All right?
"Yes......!
When I took it out of the paper bag, it was a treat in a rectangular box.
Demon King's Castle's eyeball product, Demon King's Castle Floor Boss Chocolate, to be exact.
Since the battle against the Phoenix Party turned out to be made up to the tenth level, the commercialization proceeded as there was no reason to hide it at the earliest.
It is a popular product with a wide variety of bite-sized chocolate totals featuring the frontal and lateral faces of each of the ten bodies, consisting of [Hell's Keeper] Nabelius, [Necromancer Commander] Kimaris, [Vampire Queen] Carmilla, [Wolf Leader] Marcosias, [Love Devil] Citries, [Ruler of the Waters] Wepal, [Eloquent Lord] Kym, [Plower Knight] Fulcus, [Demon of Time] Agares, [Dark Devil of Ship Horns] Remegeton.
Demon King Castle stores and several other stores.
Incidentally, there is also a version of "[The Devil of Love] Citrine Director/" Pretty "Chocolate" sold exclusively at the Demon King's Castle store, and this one is only chocolate among demons belonging to Demon King's Castle and female demons.
In addition to the rare demons not included in the floor boss chocolate, the [Dream Demon] maids on the fifth level are included, but they were sold more than expected and are currently out of stock.
"Oh, this is Chocolate from Demon King's Castle, where my kid's party has been wiped out."
…… Shh, soot, excuse me. Insufficient consideration of the... "
"Ugh, nah. It's a joke, Mira. I want to eat Carmilla with Citrie. And then, hehe... is it Lemegeton?"
I manage to restrain myself from reacting to the word Remegeton and ear to Mira.
"It's alright, because Aunt Cana's expression and emotions match perfectly. I'm not mad when you're laughing."
I put my hand on my chest like Mira was relieved.
"Kana, no Remegeton"
My father said, Mr. Canary swelled his cheeks.
"Eh. Then I'll make it Wepal. I eat all the pretty girls."
"... it's not a souvenir to us in the first place."
Chick, and Mr. Canary waving his finger.
"This is a souvenir for Leme's parents. I mean, we have a right to eat, too. Hawk, you don't know."
"You are a man, not at all..."
Mr. Hawk says as if he was frightened, while his lips are soft and loose.
"Mr. Kana? It would be helpful if you could come back and help me."
"Wow! I'm sorry, Mr. Tia! Happy to be reunited with my child I forgot so much......! Is that okay with Mr. Tia?
"Because I'm in the middle of cooking"
"I'm not being honest anymore."
From here I can only see hindsight and I can't read my mother's emotions.
Tension runs on Mira and me.
"Wow, I can help you with something too"
"Well, well, well. Did you hear that, Mr. Tia? The opportunity has come to fulfill my dream of cooking with my daughter, isn't it? Let's grab it, you dream!
"Guests won't be able to do that."
"Mm-hmm. Uh-hmm... well, it's almost done. Mira, that's what makes you the next opportunity. This isn't a social code or anything, is it?
"Yes, sir"
Mira, with her hips floating, takes her seat again.
"Uh, I brought a lot of stuff too... shall we do that later"
In time, arranging things on the table would get in the way of cooking.
And so.
Finally, the food was lined up at the table and my mother lowered her back to the chair.
