I’m back in the village.

  It is already past noon but I lie down on the bed in my room because I haven’t slept since last night.

  It’s not good to rely on my god-given ability “healthy body” and live a reckless life.

  I want to get up at dinner and go back to sleep after dinner.

  Well, if I can’t get up at dinner and continue to sleep, my body clock will be in a state of confusion…that would be awful-

  0-

  However, what surprised me was the return parade.

  The demon king and the others said they would see us off.

  Speaking of which, the demon king is very popular.

  I can’t believe that just by walking around, people would cheer for him.

  As expected of the demon king.

  I wonder who they thought I was as I paraded in front of the demon king.

  Should be a guide, right?

  Are guides supposed to ride on magic carpets?

  No, it’s okay to be on board, right?

  Yeah, I’m sure it’s okay.

  I’m sure they thought so too-

  0-

  Ah, right.

  Dors and Doraim offered to join the parade as dragons but when I refused, they sulked.

  It can’t be helped.

  The streets of Shashaato are not wide enough for dragons to march on.

  As an alternative to not being able to join the parade, Miyo suggested them to wait on the left and right sides of the teleportation gate but was that a good idea for Dors and Doraim?

  I guess they are fine with it since they look to be in a good mood.

  I thought the sudden appearance of dragons might startle the citizens of the City of Shashaato but they’re totally fine with it.

  Doraim’s nest is nearby so I guess it’s not surprising to see dragons from time to time.

  I envy them for their courage.

  Ah, by the way, I made one blunder.

  The Goroun Company-

  0-

  Michael-san told me that the Goroun Company is based in the City of Shashaato so why didn’t I contact them?

  He said that he wanted to be contacted whether we are looking for people or parading.

  Even if you say that.

  With regards to searching for someone, there’s no way I’ll contact them since I was also contacted to help.

  Contacts and requests to help to look for Count Pugyaru should either come from House Pugyaru or from Governor Ifrus.

  As for the parade, I had no intention of doing it in the first place.

  It was spontaneous.

  I don’t even have to tell anyone anything.

  Well, since I showed up in Shashaato City, I guess I should have informed Michael-san.

  It was lunchtime when Michael-san found out that I was there so we weren’t able to talk much.

  However, he insisted on participating in the parade back home.

  He said he would be in danger if he won’t be able to participate. What the heck does he even mean?

  I don’t think anyone would be in danger just because he didn’t participate, right?-

  0-

  When I returned to the village, I saw the angels fully armed.

  It was impossible not to notice them.

  All the angels were elated and wanted to rush for the City of Shashaato while fully armed but they were stopped in consideration of the resentment against them of the whole demon king’s kingdom.

  I heard they used to wage war against each other like normal until a few hundred years ago but many of those demons who fought with them are still alive.

  It was a good call to stop them.

  Just by looking at them, I could feel that they were prepared to kill.

  I don’t want to invite any unnecessary trouble.

  Then, I thought of their outfits again. Gran Maria, Kuudel, and Corone were fully armed but quite mild.

  Mild because their equipment was all made of gold.

  Gold is a weak metal by nature but they are enchanted so they shouldn’t be.

  They said that they were made when the angels still call themselves godkins.

  Looking at them closely, you can see that even the accessories on their wings were also made of gold.

  They are not only for aesthetics…for practical use too.

  They increase magical defense.

  Heh.

  Their clothes were also different from usual.

  They are wearing black and white to complement their golden equipment.

  They have magic crests in them and those dresses alone seem to boast a decent defensive power.

  It’s a quite terrifying thought that an angel armed like this will come flying through the enemy’s sky.

  Though if they were allies, they would be something to count on.

  However, my only question is that, why is Aurora, my second daughter with Tier, fully armed too?

  And they are also a perfect fit for her.

  …When did you make it?

  No, it looks good on her.

  Ah, you didn’t make it but they were Tier’s when she was still a child.

  I see.

  Isn’t it heavy?

  Then, I guess it’s okay.

  It looks great on you.

  It’s an official wear for a coming of age ceremony?

  That means we must prepare for Tiselle too, right?

  There’s no way I can object since it’s the traditional equipment of the angels.

  Of course, I don’t mind making one each for Rose Maria, my daughter with Gran Maria, Laradel, my daughter with Kuudel, and Tormane, my daughter with Corone, too.

  Right.

  If a race needs something, we should prepare it for them.

  I had left things relating to that matter to Loo and the others.

  Reflect, me-

  0-

  I was able to get up before dinner.

  I was supposed to sleep alone but Kuro and Yuki went to bed with me.

  Both Kuro and Yuki are lying on their backs.

  They’re not wary at all.

  The horns on Kuro and Yuki’s foreheads are neatly covered.

  I guess someone covered it for them before they crawled into my bed but…who?

  Spiderlings?

  On the beams of the room, there were spiderlings.

  Yeah, hello.

  I’m going back to bed after dinner.

  You know?

  You just want to say hello?

  I see.

  Other than those who went with me to Shashaato City, everyone else wasn’t able to greet me today.

  I’m sorry.

  Tomorrow, I’ll play with the spiderlings.

  When I told them that, Kuro and Yuki were already staring at me before I knew it. When did you wake up?

  I know, I know.

  I’ll play with you too.
