"Well then, oniichan... in the worst case scenario, you might have a fight with Noja."

"Yeah, but this is my problem, and Espi and Slaya..."

"It's not irrelevant! I was the one who told Noja in the first place, so it's a big responsibility!That's why, if Noja comes, I'll fight with Slaya and oniichan! "

"No, no, that's fine....."

When I thought it was my problem to settle it... the Espi stood up and got out of the way and got mad at me.

"In the first place, I pushed oniichan's big demon helix to Noja's place... it's actually me..."

"Ah, no...."

I remembered when I was told. Sure, I was actually edging right before.In front of Noja's ass.

But at that time, the Espi who flew in the air on the ship pushed my Great Demon Spiral back....

--Nhhhh, ahhhh...!!????

That scream... I'll never forget it.

In that sense, I also know that Espi says "I am responsible".

But that's not all....

"Besides... I can't anymore..."

Huh?

"It wasn't just Noja... it was Aony... when the postcard appeared... it was Gouda... I and Slaya were always just watching where it mattered... I don't like that anymore.Me and Slaya have grown and become stronger.So you can fight with your brother.To protect your brother. "

"Espi...."

"For oniichan's sake, I don't care if Slaya and I turn the world against each other!"

"Hmm!?"

I fought alone here.

Sometimes I wanted Tyman myself, but it seemed unbearable for both of us to just watch the battle all the time.

That's why the Espi's determination seemed to be seeping, even if nothing else happened now.

I'm sure Slayer is the same.

As long as it's completely reliable.

"Does that mean... oniisan, Espi and Slaya... are heading towards Sisonotami, which is currently being jointly investigated by humans and demons...?"

Then the chief who was watching the story in silence asked.

"Yeah, what is it? But now, it seems that not only Noja, but also Hu's father will accompany him in the investigation of the ruins... and if I meet him there, it'll be a mess... and I'll have to talk to my father..."

"I wonder if Ben Linuf... Noja said something like stealing Ben Linuf's eyes and banging oniichan... can you do that?I don't know... it's a little hard to grab a Benlinerf... "

"Really? I'm impressed by Niconiko's gentle childish father..."

"I'm always smiling so I don't know what I'm thinking."

For Espi, Uncle Ben is a comrade of the same seven brave men.

To me, my child-friendly father.

For me, I am a friend of Hu, who is my son. He treated me like a son of a comrade, and I don't remember being so angry.

That's why it looks a little different to my impression of being a comrade like Espi.

"Well, how long do I have to investigate the ruins?"

"That doesn't seem to have much deadline.Noja can't stay on the ground forever on a boulder, but it seems that the joint magical and human investigation team has been building a base for a while..... "

"Really? So, even if we skip the Noja thing, it's hard to go exploring inside the ruins of Sisonotami... and I don't like to use my strength..."

"Well, we can't even battle in the ruins.I fought Gouda. "

"Certainly. Uncle Ben is here, so I don't know why it's so messy... but I'd like to explore the ruins..."

To be honest, in the past, the ruins could not be explored to that extent, so now I feel like I want to look around a lot.

Trayna would love it, and I'm interested.

But in this state.....

"It's okay. They can't get through because the Espi destroyed the main corridor a dozen years ago.But, as Espi said earlier, if you use a transporter or an elevator from another location, you can go by the sidewalk.Oniisan has a master key. "

"Chieftain...."

"And it's up to oniisan to do whatever he does to use what's inside... and I won't stop."

And the only chief who would know the full contents of the ruins said so.

Speaking of which, in the first place...

"Hey, chief... I've heard about it in the past... but then I was distracted... but can you tell me now?"

Hmm?

"In the first place... who is the chief?"

"Ah... that's it..."

Yes, it remained a mystery.

The chief was familiar with the ruins and the facilities inside.

Obviously, he was a "related party."

When I heard that, I was deceived in the past, but now....

"Yoo-hoo! Slaya is here!"

"Excuse me."

At that time, Slaya opened the door and entered with her voice calling from outside the room.

"Ooh, welcome."

"Slaya, I'm tired!"

Good evening ~

"Good work, Slaya."

Slaya took the hunters to the foot of the city.

Behind it is your wife.....

"Sorry to interrupt.However, I know a little bit about Espi... oniisan... the hunters earlier... "

And the incoming slayer suddenly started saying something with a serious face.

What happened to those hunters?

Thinking of something, we interrupted the conversation and turned our bodies.

But....

"Besides, tell me more!You, Espi, Slaya, Ral... and you! "

"... eh?"

And before Slaya said anything, his wife came in and banged on the table.

And if you look closely, there are a lot of settlement elves outside the house.....

"I can't believe you're human, but you haven't changed your appearance at all... but Espi and Slaya both call you 'oniichan' and 'oniichan'... and you knew my face... so tell me this!You... came to our settlement a dozen years ago with Espi and Slaya... to protect us from the augers that attacked us... and even to give us money to buy this land... was that you?You mean Tapir Bael himself!? "

"Ah...."

Apparently, your wife and the other elves have been waiting for it.

However, our constant conversation made things unbearable, and when Slayer arrived, his wife stepped in and asked me to speak loudly so that everyone could hear him.

"Uhhh!!????"

--Doka, Baki, Dogo, Bago!!!

"There it is!? Ah, ahh, ahh..."

The cat under the floor also seemed surprised again by the words of her current wife, and she had struck her head and body with a lot.

"Ah... I'm so sick of this..."

"I guess so...."

"No, chief, Ral-san... it was too late from the beginning... I'm sorry..."

And the chief and Ralweif exhaled, and Espi and Slaya smiled bitterly.

I thought I'd fool around for a second, but still....

"Oh, yeah, it's me.Well, Tapir Bael and Raghanman used to hide who they were at the time, and the real name was Earth Raghan... definitely me. "

"" "" "Hmm!!?" ""

"Using Shisonotami's items... it's past time."

It's a hassle to be known to others, but I thought it would be better for these people, and I told them the truth.
