And so we came to the dungeon to earn money by completing requests.
“Fuu!”
“Gaaaaaaah”
The monster that received Lill’s kick is blown away with such death cry. Seeing that, Fana and Anje were stunned.
“……So strong.”
“That monster was a danger level A…… s-she… she just killed it in an instant.”
“Even though she has transformed into human, she is still a Fenrir after all. Normally, she should probably be above danger level S.”
We are at the fortieth floor of the dungeon of Vegaltia. Fana and Anje had also increased their strength by upgrading their weapons, so we had dived a little deeper.
“How is it? I wonder if I’m of help?”
“Yes. You’re good enough.”
As you’d expect from a Fenrir, she surpassed Fana in agility and Anje in power. If there is one drawback, it is that she is not good at controlling her strength and on making precise movements.
“Haa!”
The frog monster was sent flying by Lill’s punch, crushed into the wall and collapsed to the floor. It’s completely overkill.
“Oaaaaa!”
“Hmm?”
Immediately afterwards, a snake monster attacked from behind and bit Lill’s upper body. But the next moment, the snake’s head exploded.
“Hey, y-you…. are you okay!?”
“Yep. I’m good. It’s just a bit of a bite. ……Hmm? Is there more blood than I expected? Also, I feel like I’m getting dizzy……?”
“Mmm, you’re poisoned.”
“Ah? It’s not an issue, right!?”
Also, she is way too careless about defense. Perhaps she can’t get rid of the sensations she had when she was in Fenrir form thus she attacks without a second thought.
Even if she has transformed into human, she is still quite sturdy, so she would not have a fatal injury so easily. Still, she needs to be treated after every injury. I also need to repair her clothes.
I faced Lill.
“Lill, try to avoid the enemy’s attacks as much as possible, okay?”
“Uh-, I’m sorry, Master. I’m always causing you trouble……”
Although Fenrir has such a sloppy weakness, thanks to her work, the request is easily completed. When we returned to the Adventurer’s Guild to report, the receptionist said something I didn’t expect.
“Reus-sama. You have a guest….. oh, someone is here looking for you.”
“Eh? To see me? Who?”
“They said they are from the Brazel family.”
“Uh-”
The Brazel family is the family where I was born into.
I have a bad feeling about this….
“Hmm, I don’t know such family though?”
For the time being, I tried to pretend that I didn’t know about them.
“I see…… It might be a case of mistaken identity then. However, when it comes to a baby who is about six months old and is named Reus, there is no other one though….…”
There’s no way there could be.
“Sigh. I guess I’ll go see it then.”
Then we are ushered into the guest room. What was waiting for me there was an unfamiliar middle-aged man.
“I’m the butler working for the Brazel family. This baby is……”
“Awa-awa~?”
“……? I heard you could talk though…?”
The middle-aged man tilted his head in confusion when I went into a baby mode while being held by Fana.
“No, wait…. But that face…… You look exactly like Meliena-sama. There is no doubt about it. I can’t believe you are really alive……”
The middle-aged man welled up in tears as if he was very moved.
“I must take you home at once. I’m sure the Family Head and Meliena-sama will be crying in joy.”
Hey, Ossan. Don’t decide on your own. I don’t want to go back.
“Wait. What are you talking about? Reus is one of us you know?”
“Mmm. Master has no intention of going back.”
Sensing my feelings, Anje and Fana rejected the middle-aged man’s words.
But he just snorted,
“Hmmph! What do you little girls know? Reus-sama will definitely be the next head of the Brazel family in the future. It’s not up to people like you to decide who he’ll be with. Now, hurry up and give Reus-sama to me.”
“Awaawa~awawawa~~”
I refused with all my might.
“No, he doesn’t want to.”
“Look, he refuses to go, you see.”
“That doesn’t matter! If I say that I’m going to take him home, I’m going to take him home!”
Oops, the middle-aged man screamed in rage. I should be the one who should get angry at him for ignoring my wishes though.
