Part 1

Previously: Dog in the prison

This incident happened ten days ago.

It took place in Dorudia Village during the rainy season.

The cause is the Reinforced Lizard dried at stored in the village warehouse, soone murdered it… that was what I wanted to say.

It was eaten by soone.

Because of the seriousness of this case, the Dorudia warrior tribe imdiately began their investigation.

And the investigation result is, one suspect found, a female warrior.

Pursena Adorudia.

She returned to Dorudia Village just a half year ago, she is the daughter of Adorudia tribe's chief.

Being the top scorer among her graduates in the Magic University Ranoa, she brought back excellent results to her village.

"I fulfilled my mission and ca back as a candidate for village chief, Rinia is the lost cat-nano."

And she talked about what happened in her years in Sharia. Imdiately after that, she joined the warrior group of the Dorudia tribe.

This places families head said, [She is in the first list of candidates both in Dedorudia and Adorudia]. Her na has soared high in the Dorudia Village.

But, it’s not sothing that she could easily get used to.

To beco village chief, she must serve as warrior chief until the previous village chief retires, in addition she must show ability befitting of soone who can lead others and gain trust from her warrior subordinates.

Pursena has enough ability and experience leading others so she is actually already a fine warrior chief.

Usually before entering the warrior group one needs to go a journey to see the world, Pursena was already away from her village for more than ten years, but she still lacks experience with the warrior group.

With that said, the current village chief Gyes provided her with a training period.

She will work and study inside the village, as a warrior chief she must rember her group mbers's faces and odor, then soday beco village chief… that is how the original plan was.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it’s an elite course.

Pursena, by using her advanced healing magic to the fullest, she gained the warriors trust in an instant.

It seems Gyes also determined that she passed his test,

After this rainy season it would have been ti to pick a son-in-law, assuming the warrior chief declared that she wanted it.

Then that incident happened.

The day that incident happened.

Around midnight of that day.

Pursena was on duty to guard the warehouse.

In the warehouse, there was a large amount of preserved food stored for the rainy season.

Every night it’s guarded by a team consisting of two people.

And the one who was paired with her that night was Kanalna, a warrior from the Adorudia tribe.

That day, Kanalna's body condition was a little bad.

She was wounded the previous day when she was repelling the demonic beasts that attacked the village, and that injury had an after effect to her body even after it was already healed.

She said herself that this wasn’t that important, but the testimony said, [When it was ti for the shift change, her face was already blue colored.]

Like that, Pursena was opposing her to attend to her duty and gave her an order as warrior chief, [Go back to your ho and take a rest, I will take responsibility in your place.]

Following her order, Kanalna decided that it was better for her to go back to her room and sleep.

She intended to only sleep for a bit, but maybe because of her body's instinct to heal her injury, Kanalna slept soundly.

Then, early morning of the next day.

When it was ti for the guards to switch, one person arrived at the warehouse.

But when he ca, no one was keeping watch in front of the warehouse.

Not feeling confident, he tried to peek inside the warehouse----------.

The food in that place was eaten by soone, with so trace of at around her mouth, Pursena was sleeping in the warehouse with a full stomach.

Caught redhanded, Pursena was imdiately arrested.

In Dorudia Village, stealing food during the rainy season is a felony.

The warriors's evaluation of her took a 180 turn, she was forced to resign from her position as warrior chief.

Naturally, she also won’t beco village chief.

This is why she was thrown into the jail.

However, the main suspect Pursena said.

"That day, I was unconscious because soone hit from behind, and when I ca to I was already inside the warehouse!"

"Soone wants to fra ! That fucking rascal-nano! Boss, please-nano! Please catch the true culprit!"

"Surely, there is soone that didn’t want to beco the village chief! Minitona and Terusena are the most suspicious ones!"

"That alone is already strange. If I was the culprit, I wouldn’t do sothing like this to my target! It was very obvious that after sending Kanalna back to her room, you imdiately ate small portions of the ats!"

Pursena kept claiming that she was innocent.

I also had so experience in it myself, my first impression of people from the Beast Race, is that they're easy to give a false charge.

It is one of their forte.

If she really isn’t the one who did that, then I will help her.

With that in mind, I try to do a little investigation.

Part 2

Dorudia Village, the village where the Adorudia tribe and Dedorudia tribe live in harmony.

To raise Holy Beast-sama, many village warriors attend to him to protect him, so that they won’t be short in power, many children are reared and the married people usually have many children.

Now they’re a very large family numbering about 500 heads, and they live above the trees.

With a stream of muddy water outside during rainy season, their houses look like islands.

The chance that the culprit is an outsider is almost none.

If it was, then it’s soone who can move like and many more difficult ideas co to my brain.

The main suspect Pursena said, that inside the village the line of n who want to mate with her is long.

Then I imdiately get my assistant Yasu and my helping inspector Gyes,

I began to collect evidence from the testimonies of people that were involved in this incident.

"This an, Yasu it’s ti to go!"

"Who is Yasu nya?"

"It’s you Rinia. Now I will call you Yasu, a certain assistant from a certain country."

"Oh, so that’s it…"

Inspector Gyes also didn’t say anything.

Thinking that this is useless, but now is the ti to move.

Part 3

"First testimony, the one who found her in the morning, warrior Gil"

"Are you the first person who found her?"

"Yes."

When I saw this youth, I got so sense of deja vu.

Sohow, I got the feeling that I saw him sowhere before.

So I asked.

Gil → Ask → Event from the Past

"You, have we t sowhere before?"

"Yes, ten years ago when I fell into the water you’re the one who helped ."

Ah, I see.

Ten years ago, co to think of it.

During the rainy season, I together with Ruijerd helped a kid.

At that ti, the boy waved his tail.

So nostalgic.

Well, let’s put that aside in the anti.

Now back to our incident.

"At the site of the cri ten days ago, what did Pursena look like when she was found?"

"Let's see, the box of dried at was opened, Pursena was sleeping while she was leaning on them facing the door and she said, [I can’t eat anymore] happily with her bulging stomach."

The scene at that ti, sohow I could perfectly imagine it just like he said.

"…In other words, there were practically no eyewitnesses that saw whether Pursena had really eaten the dried at or not, right?"

"Yes. But there was so at left in between Pursena's teeth. And from the half eaten at that was scattered around that place, Pursena's saliva sll could detected."

Dorudia's unique way for carrying out their investigation.

This incident, just by the sll alone it could be easily resolved.

They really have absolute confidence in their own noses.

With that as their weapon it’s beco, [The saliva sll has been detected], and that’s already beco more than enough evidence.

But that kind of investigation process is full of holes.

"Though Pursena's belly looked like she was full… but there is a chance that inside her belly there was only air that was trapped and blocked. Isn’t there?"

"No, from her burp I could sll the dried lizard at from it. I have no doubt about it, she was the one who ate it herself."

There was no hole.

From the sll that ca from inside of her stomach, it’s almost certain that Pursena is the one who ate the at.

We can bisect her with a large pair of scissors and look directly inside of her stomach, but I don’t want to use this kind of thod as much as possible.

"Is there really nothing else inside? For example… sothing like footprints of soone else other than Pursena?"

"Whether it’s footprints, sll, or hairs, nothing else was there."

I see.

At least, the true culprit is doing his job perfectly.

Part 4

"Testimony of Pursena's partner that night, Kanalna"

"Kanalna-san, on your day of duty, how was Pursena's appearance?"

"Yes, she was repeatedly saying, [I didn’t eat anything since morning, so hungry-nano]."

It looks like Pursena was very hungry that day.

But, this fact is very odd.

The Pursena that I know, she was always eating at whether it was al ti or not.

Dried at, smoked at, and occasionally raw at.

To think that kind of girl, DIDN’T EAT ANYTHING…

What is the true culprit's aim?

"I wonder, why didn’t she eat anything?"

"When the warriors were fighting against the demon invasion the day before, quite a number of warriors were injured."

The report says that too, that the day before the incident a large number of demons appeared.

There were no civilians wounded by that large-scale attack, but I heard many of the warrior group were injured.

"Ho~~"

"Because Pursena is the only advanced healing magician in this village, she was running around to several places, going back and forth to treat the injured warriors. And in the end her magical power was running out…"

Pursena's magical power was running out.

I have also experienced it, running out of magical power then losing consciousness, and not being able to even wake up for half a day.

In Pursena's case, she didn’t faint… she must keep her consciousness for her duty ti.

Just like that she, without drinking or eating, carried on doing her duty as she was.

"Did she eat sothing, she has a choice to do that right?"

"That’s the rule."

Basically in Dorudia Village during rainy season, eating snacks outside of al ti is prohibited.

The stored food absolutely must be enough for three months, so there is a very strict managent on it.

"Pursena can take a rest when she is on duty, there is an option like that right?"

"Because the number of demons that attacked the previous day was the most we had, quite a few warriors were already on bed rest. We didn’t have enough hands. I also advised her to take a break from duty and rest, but she said [I only feel a little hungry]."

I see.

To beco village chief, she was filled with a sense of duty, that’s admirable.

If it was the from the old days; I would have made this and that reason to take a rest.

"And, that led to this incident."

"Yes, even now, at least it would have been fine if she was eating sothing while on duty."

After hearing that, taking that situation into consideration, I feel that I got so leads to this case.

No, Pursena insisting that she wasn't the one who ate the dried at.

Part 5

"Yasu's Opinion"

"Rinia… I an Yasu, after hearing those stories just now, what do you think?"

For the ti being, I will listen to my assistant's opinion.

She is Pursena's friend.

"That girl, I think she is the culprit nya."

"Hmm"

"Since a long ti ago whenever she felt hungry Pursena has a habit of snatching food from her surroundings. When we were still enrolled in school, she often snatched my fish and dried at nya."

Yeah… there is a criminal record.

Part 6

Thus, after listening to the full story.

I found that soone's testimony was really strange.

Luckily there is only one person who is lying and I know who it is.

And that would be…

→ Pursena.

Yes, it’s Pursena.

That girl, she just didn’t confess her actions until the very end. Still saying that soone hit her from behind.

Let’s return to Pursena's room once again, and hear her story.

Moving → Village outskirt → Pursena Prison → Listen to her story → The incident

"Pursena, if you truly didn’t do it, look in my eyes and say it."

"It’s true-nano, Boss, please believe …"

Pursena put her hands together, and her eyes are sparkling.

However, her tail is moving in a dubious way.

Let’s trick her a little.

"Before I leave, it’s possible for to beco your advocate in this village."

"Waa, as expected of Boss!"

"But, if it's found out after I leave this village that you have lied to , then I won’t let you eat at for a year as punishnt."

"O, O, O, Of course that’s true-nano."

"But, swear to GOD?"

"S, Swear to…!"

Pursena's eyes are swimming from left to right.

This guy is suspicious.

This is, it’s the eyes of a liar.

"Listen, I absolutely won’t forgive anyone who insults my God. Do you really swear by the na of my God?"

I move my hands across the iron bar and grip Pursena's head firmly, let’s listen to her answer while looking at her eyes.

Pursena should already know, the thing about being a devout man.

Her face's color suddenly becos ghastly pale, her body is trembling.

While trying to hide her crotch with her tail, she is trying to grasp forward with both her hands.

"Now what are your words?"

"I, I was the culprit…"

Case closed.

Part 7

The incident was resolved.

The culprit is of course, Pursena Adorudia.

She didn’t admit her cri, not until an outsider made her confess her cri, and her punishnt will be left to that person.

This rascal.

But, she is tempted by the evil at, maybe she is also one of the victims.

"Gyes-san, sorry for troubling you."

"It’s nothing… but, is it really okay with Pursena?"

Gyes having seen this series of events and listening to my conclusion is amazed.

"So what do you want to talk about?"

"The talk about the one person that will go as the caretaker of Holy Beast-sama from our village."

The look on his face seed to say, please, by all ans.

"Ah, no, that would be more than is necessary."

Of course, I do not need one.

More than this, the number of big breasted won around will be increased, that will only raise the suspicion of cheating.

Generally, I want soone such as Roxy and Sylphy, but I don’t need the stupid ones.

After all, the simple Pursena is an angel factor to increase the number of excuses.

Eris will be happy.

"Is that so, however, who you will bring between Minitona and Terusena?"

"No, aren't those two already village chief candidates? Better to take a sowhat different person."

While talking with Gyes, we're walking out of the jail.

"A-, wait nano! Boss, don’t leave behind-nano! My ti to rise-nano---! I wanted it----! I don’t want to live without at-nano!"

We ignored the wailing voice that ca from behind us.

"Nyahahaha!"

And, Rinia that was waiting for us outside, the first ti she goes inside she is laughing very hard.

Previously, she was also imprisoned in a nude state before.

Apparently she also experienced this a long ti ago, trapped in the nude here,

Rembering those humiliating tis, she refused to co in with an unpleasant face.

"Yoo Pursena, you look so terrible nyaaa!"

"Ri, Rinia!? I slled your odor soti ago! Why are you here!?"

Before I was aware of it, Rinia put her sunglasses on.

The one that she usually uses at work.

To hide her dollar shaped eyes.

"Why? Fufu… I nyonder why?"

While saying so, Rinia pushed my hand, and pressed it against her chest.

Nonono I can’t.

Aaa, noo, the sll of sexual excitent…

"No, no way, Rinia… and Bo, Boss…?"

Pursena leaned her nose toward our position and sniffed, suddenly her face shivered.

One end of Rinia's lips is grinning.

That’s a devilish smile.

"Well nyaa…… ah, when I recall that passionate night nyah. I was sleeping in the bedroom, Boss carrying like a new bride… Aaah, I can’t say more than this nyaaa! However, that day, I was crying a lot in front of Boss nyah."

Carried indeed, then thrown outside of the room. She was tossed away.

After that, she was weeping inside of Eris's room.

She didn’t lie at all until the last mont.

"No, no way, Boss… we’re inferior to Roxy and Sylphy, that’s why you never turn your eyes to us!"

“Nya-ha!, Isn’t that because Pursena isn’t charming enough? At that ti I’m alone nyaa. Weeell, the Asura noble from the Greyrat house lineage is really intense nyaaa. Just the first night, my ribs nyended up broken nya."

"Ri, Ribs……! Wha, What a violent copulation-nano!"

Ah, so it was her first night with Eris.

While she was sleeping, she was strangled[hugging pillow] to death by Eris.

I, Leo, and Rinia were all done in by Eris's power.

The next morning, it looks like with a half crying face, Rinia begged Sylphy to apply healing magic on her.

U~n, regarding that she isn’t crying yet.

"Ri, Rinia, be, beca Boss's wife?"

"No, nyot his bride…but, sothing similar to his slave nya."

"Slave!?"

Covering her mouth with both of her hands, Pursena's face is turned red.

U~n, slave…it’s not that wrong either.

"Well, my position is considerably good nyaa. Though a slave, I’m entrusted with so works, now I have 50 subordinates under nya. Similar to Pursena, but I’m not thrown into prison, and received Boss's affection. Ah, but I wonder if Dorudia Village's chief position is as good as that nya? So Pursena, don’t regret nyis experience… Nyahahahahaha!"

Loud laughter is echoing inside the prison.

"Rinia-----------!"

[Gashagasha] sound could be heard, Pursena with a bright red face shaking the iron bars.

But, after a little while her hands gradually lost power.

Being powerless Pursena could only kneel on the floor.

"Gusu… this is too much-nano, that day was really busy, I didn’t eat anything from morning… I want to eat too, at most, I only ate the sa amount of one al, in that case it could be replaced with the demon that I defeated, It should be more than enough to compensate-nano…"

Inside the cell, she continued her weeping and lanting.

And, Rinia imdiately left from my side.

"Haa~, I’m satisfied now nyaaa…"

She said that with quite a satisfied face.

Such an awful fellow…

But, I think Pursena's actions are also justified.

According to the story that I heard, the demon attack happened from early morning until over midnight.

And caused huge damage, and that happened right on her watch duty day.

For the healing magician Pursena, that took a big toll on her.

After repelling the demons, Pursena desperately used her healing magic repeatedly.

Thanks to that, there should be many warriors whose lives were saved by her.

However, in the end Pursena's magical power depleted and she experienced exhaustion.

After she woke up, she should have eaten her al, but soon it was her night duty ti.

Although, there is the theft accident.

While it’s true that she didn’t eat anything from morning until her night duty, that’s not a reason for her to be sneaking bites.

The from the previous world, when the cri of police officers from Elite corps co to light.

That said there is still room for leniency, but a cri is a cri.

She broke a village rule.

Even if she is warrior chief and soon to be village chief, it’s still unavoidable.

"E~r, Boss, father!"

Then Rinia turned her body facing and Gyes with a serious expression.

"I have a request nya."

She bowed.

It's a 45-degree bow.

"…Pursena, I want her to beco Holy Beast-sama's caretaker nya."

Then Rinia lifted her face up, and sent a strong glance to and Gyes.

I look into her eyes, those are the eyes of soone that was straightened out once.

"I, in a far away land in the distant country, used to keep trying hard to beco village chief nya.

Putting great effort more than anyone alone nya.

Trying nyo hard, but in the end failed nya.

I, in the end, lost to Pursena's technique and was forced to surrender my right,

But, I agree that Pursena is the most fit one to beco village chief nya.

But, with only one mistake that led to her ruin, that’s too much nya."

Then, Rinia paused a bit to take a breath, she looked at Gyes's eyes.

"I want to give her a chance nya.

Five years from now, no… 10 years from now.

If Pursena does a good job as Holy Beast-sama's caretaker.

Completed her duty properly, then bring Boss's daughter back to undergo her ceremony,

I wish her cri this ti is forgiven nya.

I nyow I can’t say this to village chief, I only wanted to give her a punishnt suitable for her position nya."

After experiencing school life, she isn’t talking through muscle again.

Rinia herself, abandoned her duty, and beca a rchant.

For that reason she originally didn’t have a right to make a request.

To begin with, this cri, is the result of Pursena's lack of self-control.

If it’s according to the story that I heard, certainly there is room for negotiation of her cri.

Sothing like, Hurray you did it, Hurray you did it.

Or, congratulations for preserving this far, the result is exceedingly good.

But that event didn’t happen.

"That's enough."

Gyes also said so.

Even if the past bygone, but what already happened can’t be ignored.

That’s only natural.

But,

But,

As for my own feelings…

Because of her great effort, I want her to be rewarded for that.

Pursena, kept persisting.

Every day, while chewing at, she took her lessons seriously.

Since I took the sa healing magic class with her, I know that she tried her best.

There is no doubt about it, she put more effort in than others.

Therefore, even though the Beast race don’t have very good heads, she was able to take the first seat in school rank.

With that kind of great effort, she must be rewarded.

That is my wish.

The sa case with if I work hard, I also want to be rewarded.

I not only think that.

"Gyes-san, can I also make a request?"

"Huh? Boss?"

But, if it was , I want soone to give a reward in this current situation.

As much as possible, I want to be rewarded.

"…"

Gyes has had a bitter face for a while now.

But, he imdiately raised his face.

"I see. That’s a good idea."

If he was Gyes 10 years ago, he definitely wouldn't have backed down with Pursena's judgnt.

It’s not like I think that his judgnt is right.

That’s only my ego.

"Rinia, Pursena. Fulfill your duty perfectly. Understand?"

"Yes Nya!"

"Y, yes-nano!"

Those two girls instantly bowed their heads.

Watching that, I suddenly realized sothing.

As I thought, these two act better when they’re together.

Part 8

We’re returning via Holy Sword Highway by raft. After we arrived at the stone monunt mark I blew the whistle to summon Arumanfi, then by using the sky fortress, we returned to Sharia.

"I really missed this place-nano… once I’m the summit of this city, I didn’t think that I would back to this city again…"

Upon arriving at the Magic city Sharia, Pursena muttered to herself with a deep strong emotional voice.

So, she returned to this place.

It can be said that to her, the magic city Sharia is her second ho.

"Ah, Pursena I forgot to say sothing nya."

"What-nano? Just a while ago I’m feeling a strong emotion-nano, so make it brief."

"I need a little help therefore, will you beco my servant for a while?"

"Eh?"

As Rinia's servant.
