“Moreover, do you have any proof that Reus is the child of the Brazel family?”
The middle-aged man raised his voice when Anje pointed it out.
“The proof is his face! He is the spitting image of his mother, Lady Meliena-sama!”
“Even if you say that, I can’t really tell because I’ve never seen her. And no matter how you look at it, that’s insufficient evidence, right? It could just be a coincidence that they look alike.”
Anje sighs in exasperation.
“Shut up! A little girls opinion is irrelevant. If I’m wrong, then that’s that. Anyway, hand over Reus-sama to me.”
“No, I refuse.”
“It’s not an option.”
“Awa-a-wawawa~~~!”
And that’s when it happened.
Lill approached the middle-aged man.
“If only you had just shut up and listened…… Why do you have the right to decide about my master?”
“~~~~~~!?”
Under Lill’s murderous intent, the middle-aged man began to tremble. Her true identity is Fenrir, a mythical monster. Her presence alone is enough to cause the creatures in the demon realm forest to escape, and even if she was in human form, no ordinary human would stance a chance against her murderous intent.
“W-w-w-what, what are you……”
The middle-aged man asked in high pitched voice as he stepped back. As if to add insult to injury, Lill warned him in a low serious voice.
“Get lost. If you don’t, your life will be lost.”
“Hiiii……!”
Slowly, a stain spreads from the middle-aged man’s lower abdomen. Apparently, he was incontinent.
“Y-you… you will regret this later!”
The middle-aged man left such a parting words, turned on his heel and fled the guest room as if being pursued by a monster.
“Awawa~”
“Hey, why are you acting like a baby again? Also, you should have told him yourself that you don’t want to follow him and that you want to follow us.”
“Awa?”
“Can I hit you?”
Anje got mad at me, so I started talking normally.
“But with the way he looked, it looks like he was adamant on taking me back. I just wanted him to give up.”
“The woman named Chris mentioned before that you look a lot like the wife of the family head. Is she really your mother?”
“Come on, I don’t really know that. But right now, I’m Reus, an adventurer. I have Wolf-kaachan who raised me, and I don’t care about the Brazel family.”
But with this being the case now, I wish I hadn’t used the name Reus. It happened to be close to Aristotereus, my name in the previous life, so it was my complete mistake to use it as it was. After that, I was summoned to the guild leader’s office.
Sigh. It’s probably about that middle-aged man.
“I’m sorry, but could you please leave the others outside?”
“Ah? Just me?”
“Yes. It would be easier to talk to you about various things that way.”
At the suggestion of the guild leader, Fana and Anje leave the room.
“……No, I want that beast girl to go out too.”
“Hmm? Me too?”
Lill pointed to herself and asks in confusion.
“I mean, I’ve never even seen you before…… You are not an adventurer, are you?”
“Well, yes. Lill is not an adventurer. If I had to say it…… she’s a pet, I guess?”
“…… Pet? I’m not sure what you are talking about, but…… I can sense a tremendous power coming from that girl.”
The guild leader trembled. Just as Lill leaves the room reluctantly, the guild leader started.
“Alright. To be honest, I’m getting a lot of trouble because of you kid.”
“Trouble?”
“Yes. Since then, we have received numerous letters of protest, no, it’s almost a threat letter from the Brazel family. It’s as if our guild is the kidnapper who took their baby away.”
Apparently, the guild has been contacted directly to hand me over.
“It was also said that you must be the reincarnation of the Great Sage.…”
“Eh!?”
What does he mean by that? How did the Brazel family know that?
I don’t think I’ve ever told anyone about that fact, but …….
