Chapter 34
Introducing a new family mber.
After we exited the hidden dungeon, we raced against the glorious beauty of the evening sky.
The wind blowing against my face felt great.
The speed was absurdly high.
If you have to compare, it is fast enough to easily overtake the wolf demon in chase.
『 Do you need any help? 』
「I will do it myself 」
The wolf demon was chasing its prey, a rabbit.
It may also attack people, so I was going to kill it here.
Doh!
I released a stone projectile from the back of Toramaru.
It’s diater is about fifty centiters.
「Kyau!? 」
It let out a high-pitched shriek and fell down. It won’t stand anymore.
『 By the way, Noir. How far should I go with you? Would it be good to let you ride and part at the entrance of the city? 』
If it is OK with Toramaru, why don’t you visit my ho for now?
There is a small garden there, and my father told that he would like to have a guard dog.
『 If that is so, pardon for disturbing. 』
Thanks to Toramaru’s speeding up again, we arrived in the city quite quickly.
Our arrival caused an uproar once we arrived near the gate.
The gatekeeper was shaking with his mouth open wide.
「Oh, that is, that is…, an attacking demon? 」
『 Be at peace. I bear no hostility towards you.』
「It’s true. It’s my subordinate demon.」
As I get down from the back of Toramaru, I went on with the following scenario.
Sit down! Hand!
A slightly humiliating instructions were thrown at the face of Toramaru.
However, thanks to that, he was acknowledged as a subordinate demon, and obtained a permission to enter the city.
Sorry for treating you like a dog, Toramaru.
As we entered the city, the uproar went up again.
Well, that is a given.
「What is that thing, a subordinate demon? 」
「Why there is a blooming flower on its head?… 」
「What an unbelievable strength… I wonder if that monster is really your follower… 」
As they noticed riding, the attention was shifted from Toramaru to .
『 As expected, if soone like myself goes inside the city, people will beco frightened 』
「I think they would soon accept you as a subordinate demon, and you will surely beco popular 」
「Noir!? What is that?」
uh-oh, I’ve encountered so acquaintances .
On my way, I’ve t a pretty girl who was in the middle of shopping.
As usual, the blooming beauty, Emma, runs which causes her big breasts to quiver.
She was impressed by the appearance of Toramaru.
「I think it is the first ti I have seen such a demon. Has Noir obtained a subordinate demon? 」
I explained the circumstances in short and introduced Toramaru.
『 I’m a new friend of Noir’s. Nice to et you!』
「Un, nice to et you too! Right, I’m Emma!」
『 Emma should take a ride as well 』
「Well then, I would take on it 」
Emma took a ride behind .
So ti after enjoying the view from the back, suddenly a hand embraced around my stomach from behind.
Thanks to such close skinship, so LP started pouring in.
Should I feel thankful?
However…
「What is up with you, all of sudden, Emma? 」
「I think I have a fear of heights. Riding like this, it is scary.」
「Although you used to climb the clock tower so many tis… Since when you have got that kind of illness?」
「…… Since 10 seconds ago?」
Apparently people can catch phobias so easily…
Toramaru twisted his neck, looking at our appearance.
『 Noir and Emma have a good relationship. Are you called a “couple”?』
「Well… it is not like that, – right, Noir?」
「That’s right. I would call us just “childhood friends” 」
「That’s an outright denial! Am I so unattractive?! 」
「Well, it is not like that… 」
「Forget it. I’m angry, so don’t talk to ! 」
It looks like I have to leave this complicated situation “as is”.
However, she kept hugging with her hand.
On my way to ho, I’ve discovered a few more familiar faces again.
The first one was a guild receptionist dressed up in green-toned clothes.
The shoulder-length brown hair gave off a cute but lively impression.
Her na is Laura-san.
And another one next to her was a beautiful half-elf.
Stylish girl, with her favorite magic gun on the waist holder, – her na was Luna-san.
One of the mber of my and Emma’s party, with a role of saint, she was overflowing with vitality.
「Hey, excuse for a mont. It’s my treat.」
「Please, this way.」
While the two were walking along the road, 2-n duo approached them again.
It looked like they were using so well-honed pick-up lines.
Laura-san was treated that way while walking.
「We, will treat you the best way.」
「Tell your type of man 」
「Your boyfriend type?」
「Your boyfriend, what the… .
What kind of person is he?」
「I would say it would be a kind man; Noir-san 」
I suppose I have to use my na to drive off those stupid skirt chasers.
The n backed off for quite a distance upon hearing it.
But they didn’t look discouraged, and went on with flirting attempts towards Luna-san this ti.
「Hey you, there?」
「Yeah. I can say that I am.」
「Wh… what kind of person?」
「Noir-dono, the rumored third son of a noble 」
「「What do you an!?」」
The two n raised surprised cries.
I thought it would be better to help, so I will speak.
「Nice to et you, I’m that rumored Noir 」
「Hai?!」
If you turn around, you would be surprised because there was a man on a black lion.
I put my hand on the body of Toramaru and said to the two girls.
「Today Toramaru beca my friend. Would you both like to ride together with ? 」
「Let’s ride!」
「Certainly, I would like to experience it.」
「And that’s why…」
I told that to those n duo, as the 2 won went to ride on the Toramaru’s back.
As Toramaru’s back is quite large, he can easily move with 4 people.
There was only a problem with positioning.
For , the front seat is OK, but Emma and Laura were fighting for the second one.
「It’s my seat! Where are you trying to jam into? 」
「How so? I’m Noir-san’s dedicated receptionist.」
「Even if you say that, I’m his childhood friend. I think the seat here is reserved for !」
「Is that so? You are still a childhood friend after ten years spent together?」
「Hmm…」
Emma and Laura-san are fighting as always.
I think they have similar personalities and can get along well.
Amazed by the actions of those two, Luna-san shook her head with an “oh, well” expression.
「I guest it can’t be helped. In that case, I would sit there as a compromise.」
「「There is no way you would take that seat in such a sneaky way!!」」
Was Toramaru impressed by such overflowing spirit of conflicting tastes?
Sure he was.
『 Noir’s friends are surely powerful.』
「Thanks to that I’m not bored. My family mbers are unique that way as well 」
『 I’m looking forward to eting with them 』
I dropped those three on my way ho and made a promise to et them again later.
Upon entering the living quarters of the residential district, I followed the road to my ho.
There is a small garden behind the stone wall of the residence, and from that side one could see my living room.
As it was hot today, the window was open and I could hear the conversation between my father, mother and my younger sister Alice.
「I will definitely help both of you even if I have to die. Even if the opponent is a dragon, I’m going to stand against it. I would do anything to protect mother and Alice.」
「Ara, and what about Noir? 」
「A man must protect himself on his own, after all. When he returns, I’m going to give him so training.」
「Giving training to onii-sama, are you mistaken, by any chance?」
「That’s not it, Alice!
I’m still strong.
After all, I’m still a father.」
Today the father’s tension is high, isn’t it…
My mind beca peaceful, as usually.
I went around the entrance and opened the door of my ho.
Toramaru with a grinding sound expressed his relief.
As my father noticed coming ho, he went to greet with small steps.
「Hi, Noir. Welco back ho – m – aaaaaaaa!?」
His waist gave out.
He saw Toramaru.
Even if I was standing right next to him, I was totally out of his sight.
「Hiii, hi—-. Mother, Alice, help ! There is sothing dangerous here…」
While crawling, the father moved towards the living room.
Are you a Sick Zombie?
At the sa ti my mother and Alice ca out and stared at Toramaru.
「Ara-ara, it’s amazing… Welco back ho, Noir 」
「Onii-sama, have you got a subordinate demon? That’s great… 」
They look so much more calm compared to the father.
The patriarch of the Stalgia house has finally noticed my existence, stood up and stretched his chest.
「*Coughh* Subordinate demon is a good thing, I suppose. For now, welco back, Noir.」
「Father, to begin with – first and foremost. Your pants are down!」
「Oops! I’ve shown sothing unsightly!」
It’s all right, nobody in the family is interested in that.
「One more thing. Let’s get straight to the point. And let’s keep Toramaru at ho! 」
「… but… isn’t he a Lion (not Tora/Tiger) – maru? Would it be ok? What is even more important… does he bite?」
『 I myself won’t do such a thing. Noir is my important friend. That’s why this family is very important for as well.』
「He… talked?! Ah, furthermore, he has intelligence.」
「Whether it is a living room or a garden, Toramaru has enough space to move, and during the day he can act as a watchdog, for example.」
To tell the truth, there are a lot of thefts in the neighborhood.
Even though our house is poor, it still suffered damage a few tis.
Even if there is no money, the food can still be stolen.
So my mother and Alice gave their approval.
Once you touch Toramaru, you can easily get used to it.
As for my father, it looks like his fear still remained.
「U-n, you know, how are we going to explain that to our neighbors? 」
「As my “subordinate demon”, that much is not enough?
Toramaru, would that sort of story be fine with you?」
『 No problem at all. I’m fine with it, – whether it would be a “subordinate demon” or a “pet”.」
「And that is how it is. What do you think?」
「… I got it! If I decline, I’m going to be eaten, so it is OK!」
So, it is so that he would not be eaten…
But it is OK this way as well, and from today he beca a mber of the family.
My mother already started calling him “Tora-chan”.
「Let’s indulge in dinner today. Co on, Toramaru-chan, sit down.」
『 I’m much obliged.』
Alice was combing with her fingers the mane of Toramaru, who was waiting in lying posture.
My father whispered in my ear:
「(Hey, hey, what is that tulip?)」
「Ah, that is… 」
It looked like I didn’t need to tell about it.
Alice gently stroked the flower.
『 Afa-aa, that is… ah… a…!」
That part is a sensitive place for Toramaru.
It has to be treated gently.
「If you do it like this, Toramaru gets slightly strange.」
「I understand, it is just like mother for …」
「I don’t quite understand the analogy, so I wonder if it is OK. 」
My father also tried to gather his courage and touch the flower, but he gave up, as expected.
It looks like Toramaru was shaking his tail with *tsun-tsun* sound, while doing “poke-poke”-like teasing with all his force.
After all, from today Toramaru beca one of the Stalgia family.
