Shadow Ruler Chapter 3 Part 2 (Patreon)

It is my only treasure.

The bird told me that this paper called a photograph is a precious thing that costs a lot of money, but one day it suddenly sensed something and used the money it had saved to have it specially made, and that it has a special magic in it that keeps it from falling apart even if I have it like this.

I don't know what it is, but she said I should know that she did such an amazing thing for me.

Thank you, Mom.

Your picture was the only thing that cheered me up besides the birds and the cats.

I took good care of it.

"Well, I'm ready."

An aieo chart was drawn on the ground.

"Come on, Freesia-chan. Good luck naming them both!"

Hmmm...

Lily-san and Anne-san are stroking them around while murmuring how cute they are, but I don't care.

"Freesia-chan's amazing - she's just ignoring me even though she's petting me around so much..."

"That's how important it must be--I know how you feel. It's an important family name."

... OK.

The bird is Karna.

The cat is Shasti.

I don't know if you asked me why, but it just popped into my mind.

And when I told him in the aiueo table...

"Thank you, Freesia."

"Meow."

I'm glad she was happy.

But you don't have to call me "sir", right?

We're family, right?

"I see... well, Freesia."

I smile.

Shasti meows happily, and I smile back at her.

Everyone said it was a good name.

And with our names successfully decided, we say good night early.

When I woke up, I was in Lily-san's arms.

Or rather, I was on the move.

I wondered why I was in the middle of a move, but it seemed to be my mood.

Well, Lily-san is a good cuddler, so it was fine.

And for some reason, Karuna and Shasti were running side by side with Lily-san at the front, and the other three were chasing after them.

Why are they running?

Did you forget something?

"Oh... Lily and Anne had a light argument over who would carry Freesia, and then Lily carried Freesia and ran away, with Anne in the lead and the two men chasing after them. Well, to put it bluntly, they were caught in a situation where two women were chasing each other."

I see.

But do you really want to hold me like that?

It's exhausting, isn't it?

And why are you fighting to hold me?

"I guess they both love Freesia and want to get to know each other better - for now, don't worry about it."

I don't care because Karuna says not to care.

"Karuna is right, but the truth is that I really want to go back to town as soon as possible and dress Freesia-chan up."

Dress her up?

What do you mean?

"Dress her up in pretty, pretty clothes, give her a bath, clean her up, change her hair, and make her even prettier.

Clothes?

There are different kinds of clothes?

There are certainly a lot of different kinds of clothes for the older girls and for the older boys, but...

"There are many kinds of clothes. There are clothes that are made to move, there are clothes that make you look gorgeous, and there are clothes that are so focused on being cute that they are extremely difficult to wear. There are as many types of clothes as there are people."

There are so many different kinds of clothes because so many different people make clothes with so many different feelings.

I see.

"Oops! Watch out! Zel!

Lily-san almost fell over.

"You're going to have to do something to stop me!

Karuna later told me that Zell-san had used earth magic to make Lily-san's feet hollow.

"Flame booster!"

"What! Dan used that?

Wing booster!

"Even Anne? Oh, my God! Water bladers!"

They all went very fast.

Magic is amazing.

It can do so many things.

"You guys are great! Wait! Mad area!"

I didn't quite understand, but the bird said

Lily-san: speed up by using water underfoot to make it slippery and sliding on the ground to run

Dan-san: speed up by strengthening the body with fire magic, purely physical strengthening and muscle power

Anne-san: Body strengthening by wind magic to lighten the body with wind to reduce wind resistance and increase speed

Zell-san: Speed-up by playing with the soil to make it easier to step into the ground within a limited radius of 1 meter around himself.

I don't know what it means, but it makes me run faster.

I don't know, but it seems that there are many ways to go faster.

Three hours later, we arrived at the town.

There was a big door to enter the town, a gate, in front of which there were strong-looking men and people in various outfits lined up in front of it.

They say you have to stand in line there and wait your turn.

The strong-looking man at the gate is the gatekeeper, who is in charge of guarding the entrance.

They were all standing in line, breathing hard, and Lily-san was lecturing them.

I was being hugged and rubbed on the cheek by Anne-san with a very happy face.

I know it's a little late for this, but I'm dirty, aren't I?

I'm going to get dirty.

I haven't bathed or cleaned myself since my nanny left.

I'm still wearing the clothes that were given to me at random, and I don't have anything else.

I don't know, but that's what they call someone who wears the same clothes all the time.

And I heard that a while ago via Karuna.

"I don't care, they're cute!"

Lily-san and Anne-san immediately replied.

If you don't care, well, I guess it's okay.

Also, you two sisters should be gentle with your hugs when you hug me from the front.

I can't breathe because I'm buried in your boobs.

I can breathe in the back, but the squeezes are so strong that it hurts my body, so please be moderate.

And Anne-san

My boobs are on both my shoulders.

I can't move because I'm trapped between her boobs.

"So, as a punishment, I will bathe Freesia tonight."

"What? Wait a minute! Please! Not that much! Not that much!

"No, I can't... But I know how you feel, so let's do it together tomorrow, okay?"

"Ugh... The first bath with Freesia-chan..."

Why is giving me a bath a punishment?

Karuna told me not to worry about it, so I don't.

"Well, what if I told you that I would allow you to bathe with Freesia-chan if you bathe with me?"

Zell-san said with a chuckle.

"... --"

"Hey, hey, hey--I'm the one who started it, but it bothers you so much! Normally, I'd say no! Hey!!!"

"... I'll give it up today. I'll give up today--so! So!!! I don't want to sleep with you!

"It's fine. It seems that the first bath has done more damage than I thought it would, and I'm sure you've reflected on it."

"Yes..."

"Hey - you guys need to calm down - the other guys are subtly distancing themselves from you..."

".... You have to think about where you're going with this, don't you?

"Yeah, I guess so..."

About an hour later, we ran into the gatekeeper.

It seemed to be our turn.

But Anne-san was holding me and loving me, and Lily-san was petting me from the side.

"Certificate, please."

"Aiyo."

"I checked... But where's the little girl over there?"

"She was surrounded by a pack of tourmadogs and tourmawolves on her way back from a job, so I rescued her and brought her here."

"Wow - no luck - so what's the certificate?"

"Well, as you can see."

"Then I'll need two silver coins."

"Is that right?"

"Is this good?" "Confirmed. This is the temporary certificate. If you go to the guild and get your guild card made, you won't get reported. It will come directly from the guild.

"Okay. Welcome to the town of Katakuri."

The gatekeeper opened the big gate for us and we went inside.

I was told about Karna and Shasti, of course, but they both appealed to me that they missed me, and I easily got the OK.

But when I entered the town, they told me to go straight to the guild and make a card.

The certificate is called a guild card, and it's a useful card that tells you who you are, what you can do, which things you are not good at, and so on.

He said that without a card that shows who you are and where you are from, you will have a lot of trouble in town, and that it would be better to make one as soon as possible.

The town was filled with more people than I have ever seen before.

Everyone seemed to be having a good time.

The shopkeepers were full of energy, selling all kinds of things.

The whole town was full of energy. I thought, "That's what I mean when I say the town is full of energy.

There are all kinds of things lined up, all kinds of smells.

There are all kinds of sounds.
