Chapter 45: 45 - 第四十五話 残念な勇者

Purple Belial continues to scream. It is true that it is smaller than the others. Gon and Jeneha are right, it seems that he is still young.

Even though he is a demon, I myself am not comfortable with the idea of letting someone so young die a mad death. For the time being, I decided to ward this purple Belial, take away his resistance, and cast a recovery spell on him. If he makes any disturbing movements, such as trying to kill me, I'll kill him immediately.

"All right, let's heal him. Ultimate Heal!

The broken spirit is restored by being enveloped in a blue light. When the light fades, purple Belial is limp.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"..."

Purple Belial does not speak. I give him some water for now, but he doesn't touch it. I give him some water for now, but he doesn't touch it. I use my appraisal skill to appraise this purple Belial.

I let out a sigh of relief. At only 11 years old, he has a level 3 education. He seems pretty smart. His skills are also quite high for his age. She is a princess, so she must be a demon of high status.

"I saved your life, but I've put a ward around you. Your actions will be restricted. The slightest misbehavior will result in immediate loss of life. What the hell are you guys anyway? They attacked me out of the blue."

"..."

He still doesn't talk. I use my "Appraisal" skill even more to look into this purple Belial's past.

"Hmm. So she's the daughter of King Belial. Did your father tell you to marry the one who defeated the Demon King? Those three are... unfortunate. Yeah, I don't get that charge. It's disgusting..."

"How did you know that? How do you know? Don't tell me you're the Great Satan..."

"Yeah, well. The demon king only lasts a moment. I didn't want to be one!

"Uhhhh..."

Purple Belial cries out, his small body even smaller. It seems that there is no problem to break the warding for the time being.

"Well, if you don't intend to harm us, we'll let you go. Go back to your herd."

"... I don't want to go home."

"Yeah?"

"I don't want to go back to the herd..."

"What? You're the princess of Belial, aren't you? If you go straight back to your flock, aren't you the queen?"

"...I don't want to be a queen. Besides, I think my father made me a witness so that if the defeat of the Demon Lord failed, he would let me run away and live my life as I wished.

What are you going to do now, son?

"I want to know so many things... I want to know why the stars come out, why crops grow... I want to know a lot of things I don't know. If I become queen, I can't leave the castle. I don't like that."

I see... I see... I see... I see... I see... I see... I see... I see...

"Well, I guess that's fine, but not in that form. But in that form, he is a small dragon. I don't mind if he lives on his own..."

"As expected, it is impossible for this child to live in this world alone.

"Master, if you don't mind, why don't you leave this child Belial in the house? If humans find them, they will surely be the target of a cut down, and probably the first to be targeted in this forest. I don't think she will be able to keep up her strength.

"Well, I don't mind, but it depends on this Belial. What do you think? Do you want to stay in the mansion for a while until we decide what we're going to do in the future?"

Purple Belial pondered for a moment and then gave a small nod.

"Is your name... Peris? You're not going to tell me that you're not coming back and Belial and the others are going to attack us in droves, are you?"

"...When my father died, he chose someone to act as king, so I'm sure he'll be fine."

Thus, Peris became my housemate.

My expectation that she would remain in seclusion for a while was quickly overturned. She was so impressed by the taste of the food I cooked that she started asking me how to cook. Gradually, he began to cook for himself and absorbed my recipes.

Because of her strong intellectual curiosity, she began to cook with a variety of ingredients. He quickly improved his skills and quickly became the chef of our family.

She also got along well with Gon, who is in charge of agriculture, and we began to see her discussing about the varieties of vegetables. Gon seems to have accepted Peris as an excellent student who absorbs and utilizes the knowledge immediately after he is taught.

Recently, he has started to build a flower garden in the backyard of his mansion, where he grows a variety of colorful flowers. It is quite disconcerting to see a small purple dragon working happily in the midst of the beautiful flower garden.

Also, with the goal of becoming able to read, he has come to be seen staying up late at night learning letters and struggling with books to read them. Thanks to this, the spare room on the second floor of the house inevitably became Peris's room, and she has become a member of our family.

Meanwhile, winter has come, and the house is surrounded by a silver world. I realized that I had turned 16 years old, and I had grown taller, probably due to my growth spurt. Along with that, my beard grows as well. As I was wondering before going to bed at night whether I should buy a real razor or not, one of the harpies reported to me.

Master, there are four children lost deep in the forest. What should I do?"

This forest, located between the duchy of Niza in the north, is quite deep. In this winter, adventurers rarely get lost in the forest. In such cases, we try to help them as much as possible, and in this case, it seems that they were found by accident by a harpy on alert. But four children is unusual.

"Okay. I'm on my way."

I got on Ilimo and stepped into the forest.

I checked the map and sure enough, the kids showed up. He still looks young. I asked Ilimo to use his wings and fly down to the children in the shortest distance possible.

Soon we reach the children and I call out to them

"Hey, are you okay?"

The four of them were sitting shoulder to shoulder under a large tree when they heard my voice and looked up with a start.

"...Cats?"

Cats in armor and robes, dressed like humans. They are not what you would call beastmen, but big cats wearing human costumes. What the hell is this?

One of the cats sees me and stands up. It appears to be a woman. She comes over to me at a quick pace.

"You're late! You're late! What the hell have you been doing! Why didn't you pick me up earlier! I'm cold! I'm cold!"

He was one-sided. Is this cold driving you crazy?

I was strangely impressed that it could walk on two legs and speak human language, when a cat in armor came up to me from behind it. He seemed to be a man.

What are you really doing? Please take us someplace warm. I'm hungry. Get us some food. Yeah? Did you come alone? What the hell are you doing? Can't we all ride horses then? Don't they usually bring other horses? You're no good at all. Forget it. Me and Shella will ride that horse. You take Amalia. Uriel will have to come on foot. Hey, you, don't lose Uriel, okay?"

I'm so excited. What the hell is going on? I'm here to help, right? How did I get into this conversation?

As I frantically try to wrap my head around it, the voice of a cat in armor flies

"Come on, get off your horse! We can't ride! Can't you understand a word I'm saying!"

"...Thank you for your time."

"What? What?"

"Thanks for your help. Well, good luck with that."

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

"I am not your servant or your slave. I just happened to find you lost and thought I'd help you. But I stopped. I don't want anything to do with you.

"What are you talking about? You don't know me! Me? I'm the one you're supposed to be helping, right?"

"Unfortunately, I don't know any cats. I don't know who the hell you are, but if you're going to accept people's good will, you'd better take it in stride. I have no obligation to help a man who talks like that. Good luck reaching the village at the foot of the mountain. Good night.

Ilimo and I turn on our heels and start walking back the way we came. The armored cat ran hard and stood in front of us.

"Save me! I'm Willis! I'm Willis the Brave!
