"How could he let a child spread such words..."
"Don't worry, Dad. Although Mom is older than you, she's very gentle and would never ride on your head! ... Mom, you wouldn't do that, would you?"
"Oh my, Myuu, you're such a fool. Of course Mom wouldn't do that. And Mom told you to forget about it, didn't she?"
Remia's mother's smile became terrifying, causing Myuu to look away immediately. With her strength, most men would inevitably end up being henpecked.
"Mr. Hajime, do you have any comments?"
"No, it's okay. I don't have any opinions."
Remia slowly turned her head. Her smile sent a chill down Hajime's spine, forcing him to look away immediately and meet Myuu's eyes. The father and daughter, in unison, nodded simultaneously.
"Oh my, oh haha. You're actually communicating with me through eye contact. Are you trying to exclude me?"
"Myuu! Is there anything else? Tell daddy now!"
"Of course! And there's more! I have to tell Dad!"
The father and daughter displayed perfect rapport in front of their mother. "Oh my, oh, oh," Remia stared at them with a smile on her face, but they absolutely dared not turn their heads to face Remia.
"Oh, by the way, Myuu has a new friend called 'Second Brother'."
"Big Brother? Wait, could it be a boy?"
Hajime's father grew nervous. Could it be that a man was approaching his daughter?! He would never allow a shabby boy with unknown origins to become Myuu's boyfriend! Hajime quickly glanced at Remia. Remia's eyes were filled with concern, but also seemed troubled.
"Honestly, I don't know what kind of child this 'Second Brother' she's talking about is... because I've never seen him. Even when I asked Myuu, she couldn't describe him clearly. This 'Second Brother' seemed to be wary of humans other than Myuu, even afraid of them."
"This is far too suspicious. Myuu, what kind of person is that guy?"
"Hmm~~ My whole body is twisting and turning."
"Twisting around!?"
"And he'll also make a gurgling sound. After eating a lot, he'll make a lot more."
"That's definitely not a normal creature!"
"He was only the size of my palm at first, but after about ten days, he grew to be almost as big as Myuu."
"Not only is it abnormal, it's actually a dangerous creature, right?!"
"Remia, aren't you being too lenient with your daughter's friendships?!" Hajime protested to Remia with his eyes. Remia's expression became even more confused.
"I think it's dangerous, too, but... to be honest, I just had the chance to talk to Mr. Liman, whom I mentioned earlier, and I mentioned this to him. According to him, that 'Second Brother' is indeed a monster, but he and Myuu are very close. As long as he's in the sea, he can be called an exceptional guardian."
For some reason, Myuu seemed to have a way of communicating with that shapeless monster, insisting, "My brother isn't a bad boy!" and even crying with excitement. Remia, helpless, allowed Myuu to continue interacting with this invisible guardian (only available in the ocean).
"To be honest... just when we were about to be abducted by the apostle, a huge wave suddenly occurred, blocking the apostle, and translucent tentacles appeared and attacked the apostle. At that time, he seemed to really want to protect us."
"Is this true...huh? Giant waves? Translucent tentacles? ... 'Second Brother'?"
Those keywords seemed to trigger some memory for Hajime. He thought for a moment, then his expression stiffened and twitched as he said, "Could it be..."
"Hey, Myuu, that 'Second Brother'...does he have a real name?"
"Hmm? Yes! His name is Mr. Twenty!"
"Oh, my God!!"
Hajime suddenly displayed an exaggerated reaction like a Westerner, pressing his hands to his face and leaning his upper body back.
This was no wonder. The 'twenty' Myuu had mentioned—the 'evil food'—was the bizarre creature that nearly wiped out Hajime and his companions when they were conquering the Melkine underwater ruins.
At that time, Hajime poured a large amount of tar into the body of the evil food, burning it up along with the entire sea surface. After that, it seemed that a small part of the evil food still survived and developed a fear of humans.
Not only Liman and the evil food that escaped death, but also the existence that resides in the living golem... At this time, Hajime couldn't help but wonder why this child always has a special connection with mysterious existences?
At the same time, he thought about how when he first saw Myuu, she was floating in the sewer, passing right below Hajime and Shia. Was that really a coincidence?
"Maybe...it's not that Myuu drifted to Shia and me, but that Shia and I were drawn to Myuu...could that be the case?"
Remia's expression was still confused, and as if she was about to tell Hajime a secret, she quietly leaned over and said:
"Honestly... this girl has always been like this. Not only does she attract humans, but she also inexplicably attracts sea creatures. In fact... this is more than once or twice that she's made 'friends' I've never even seen before..."
"Is that so..."
Hajime and Remia looked at each other. Then, they both turned their gazes to Myuu. "Miya?" The lovely daughter simply tilted her head in disbelief. They paused for a breath, and then...
"Well, my daughter is a special child, and that's a happy thing!"
"You're absolutely right! Our child is very special, oh haha!"
There was no need to worry about trivial matters. Hajime and Remia didn't want to dwell on it, and they tightly linked their arms around each other.
"Dad and Mom have become very close!"
The bond between the two has indeed grown stronger.
Whether they harbored romantic feelings for each other was secondary at this point. More important than that was that they were all Myu's family, parents of a girl who had already experienced a remarkable life at the age of four. Perhaps even more extraordinary destinies and futures awaited Myuu, and as parents, they naturally faced them together with a shared resolve.
"Please take care of me from now on, Remia."
"It's the same here. Please continue to help me, Hajime-san."
Hajime's father and Remia's mother nodded to each other. The atmosphere between them was more like that of comrades than husband and wife.
Looking at them, Miao smiled happily, her smile was like a blooming flower.
Volume 11 Special: On the eve of the final battle, everyone assemble!
The night before the decisive battle that will determine the fate of mankind.
Sunrise was still some time away. Normally, most people would still be asleep, making it a quiet time. However, the rooftops of the fortress were bustling with activity.
There was only one reason. Because many people wanted to see the man who held the key to humanity's fate - Nanyun Hajime.
Perhaps because they had all prepared themselves for the possibility of never having another chance, almost everyone came to Hajime, unceremoniously pursuing their own selfish desires and grudges. This person was one of them.
"Nangumo-sama, I'll be blunt. Please have sex with Liliana-sama!"
"What kind of nonsense are you saying out of the blue?"
The woman who never stops making shocking remarks is Liliana's personal maid, Miss Holina.
Her dark brown hair was piled high in a bun, and her narrow eyes narrowed, giving her a sharper look. The hem of her maid outfit swayed in the breeze. You read that right, this person was still wearing a maid outfit on the front lines of the human camp.
"Why didn't you seek refuge?"
"I serve as Liliana-sama's bodyguard. In other words, as a combat maid."
"What did you say?"
A battle maid... that's a man's romance! So, Hajime's eyes changed when he looked at Holina. However, for Holina, that kind of thing didn't matter at all.
"It's not just to satisfy Liliana-sama. Nagumo-sama may become the savior in the future. If the two of you establish a close relationship, it will not only bring great benefits to our country, but will also be helpful for my promotion and salary increase. There are many benefits. Therefore, I support your relationship!"
"Did you just reveal your private desires without reservation?"
"Sir Nagumo, please allow me to presume to intervene. I have secretly set up a completely soundproofed secret room within this castle. I'm sure Lady Liliana will cheer with delight!"
"You're wasting your talent by building a secret room inside the Human Alliance's base."
Ms. Holina clenched her fists, trying desperately to persuade Hajime for the sake of her beloved (?) princess. While her actions could be considered treasonous, it was clear that Liliana would be pleased, so she couldn't be blamed. After all, Liliana herself was standing at the entrance on the rooftop, looking over here expectantly.
Of course, Hajime would not agree. He narrowed his eyes and was about to drive Holina away. However, at this time, a new visitor came.
"Wait! How can you have any further relationship with the princess under such circumstances? This is outrageous!"
The one who shouted angrily upon reaching the rooftop was Aiko's personal guard, Temple Knight David. Not only him, but the other knights of Aiko's guard also appeared one after another.
"As expected of a proper knight, well said! Give her a few more lectures—"
"At this critical moment, the fate of humanity hangs on our hands, Nagumo Hajime! If you wish to have intercourse, embrace our beloved son!"
"What are you saying? And you're crying blood while you're saying it. How horrible."
A closer look revealed that all the knights' eyes were filled with tears of blood—nothing metaphorical. Their bodies were twitching and convulsing, as if they were desperately suppressing the negative emotions welling up within them. It was a truly disgusting sight. Aiko, watching from a distance with her classmates, had originally flushed, but upon seeing the knights' expressions, her face paled with fear.
"After learning the truth, our faith has long since collapsed..."
Hearing David say this, Shiji suddenly remembered. The knights guarding Aiko, led by David, all knew the truth: the good god Esid didn't exist. Aiko had told them this himself.
"But, because of this, we have all reached the state of enlightenment. For us, there is only Aiko-sama! Only Aiko-sama is the only true God worthy of our faith! We are knights of the 'Goddess Cult'! We have cast aside personal feelings and dedicated our wholehearted love and faith to Aiko-sama! Therefore, for Aiko-sama's happiness, you must have intercourse with her. Go ahead, ahhhhh!"
"Hey! Someone! There's a group of crazy believers here! Capture them!"
It seems that David and his companions' faith and love have been distorted. This is understandable, after all, their values and outlook on life have just been completely overturned. However, the consequences are truly horrific.
Lian Shi couldn't help but retreat. When he was about to ask for help...
"You piece of shit brother!"
Following this roar, a beautiful knee kick struck David on the back of the head. The powerful impact made David's eyes roll back for a moment, and he somersaulted and fell to the ground, motionless.
"Lord Nanyun, please forgive my rudeness. My name is Philim, and I am David's sister. I will take him away as you requested, okay?"
With that, the person turned around, her demeanor filled with grace. She was a beautiful nun, seemingly no older than twenty-five. That's right, a nun had knocked her brother, a Knight Templar, to the ground with a single blow. It was truly unflattering.
"Uh, um, please. By the way, I didn't realize he had a sister..."
"Yes. I was once carelessly refuted the discrimination against the demihuman race, and was banished to the border region. This time, I was summoned by Pope Simon to participate in the decisive battle."
Apparently, this nun was so committed to her own values and actions that she was at odds with her brother, who had a fervent religious faith, and her family, ultimately parting ways. It's said this was a reunion between her and her brother after a decade apart.
"...Reuniting after ten years, ──Are you greeting me with a knee-kick?"
"I'm so ashamed... My brother has always called me a disgrace to the family, constantly insulting me. Over the past ten years, I've accumulated a lot of resentment, and I couldn't help but vent it with this flying knee kick."
"A nun expressing her emotions on her knees... so trendy."
The beautiful blonde nun was shy and coy, and her look was very adorable.
But──
"Captain! Cheer up!" "He's dead..." "No, he's barely alive! Just barely!" Aiko's male harem knights, Chase, Judd, and Joshua, were shouting in panic behind her, and she pretended not to hear them, which was terrifying. Although they had long since severed ties, her own brother was teetering on the brink of life and death, and she had this attitude...
The scene grew increasingly chaotic. No, it had always been in a state of profound chaos, only becoming deeper, as deep as the abyss. Yet, visitors seeking Hajime continued to flock in droves.
"Uh, hey, white-haired one. Looks like we came at a bad time."
Several adventurers came up to the rooftop and said this simultaneously. Hajime couldn't remember who this guy was for a moment, but when he heard him call him "white-haired", his memory was awakened.
"You are adventurers from Brook Town. Remember you are... Garitima, right?"
"Haha, it seems you haven't forgotten me. That's great."
When Hajime, Yue, and Shia first accepted a commission together, these adventurers also joined them on the mission. Garitima was the captain of the escort team. On the way to Furen, Hajime learned some basic adventurer knowledge from them. However, their friendship was not close...
"Why did you come all the way here? You're not here to watch the fun? Are you going to say something like, 'I never thought that kid back then would end up like this'?"
"I don't deny that. But, we're just following others."
Seeing Hajime's puzzled expression, Garitima explained the situation with a wry smile. Actually, at this very moment, the entrance to the fortress was packed with people, eager to get a closer look at Hajime and Aiko, creating a massive crowd.
Some of them pretended to be acquaintances of Hajime or Aiko, so the security personnel had to line up and check each visitor one by one before letting them in. However, adventurers like Garitima were genuinely acquainted with Hajime, and Catherine and Modo also recognized them, so they were able to get the privilege of visiting Hajime earlier. However...
"I wasn't sure if you really remembered me, and there were so many people looking for you. Honestly, I was embarrassed to bother you at first. But they insisted on coming with me to see you, so I brought them up."
"They? Who?"
Hajime noticed that Garitima and the others were followed by another group of people, all draped in robes, their faces obscured. They looked suspicious. However, since the entrance was guarded by security personnel, they were likely just suspicious in appearance and nothing serious.
I thought so, but...
The moment these people took off their robes—
"What are the security guards doing?! Someone, someone, someone! We're invading—no, monsters are invading!"
"Hello, Shishi-chan, you're so mean! I came all the way to see you!"
"That's right, that's right! Such a touching reunion, give me a passionate hug!"
A group of monsters covered in muscles and lace ruffles appeared! Their biceps were pulsating smoothly!
"By the way, starting from the right, there's Mariabell, who confessed her love to Yue in Brook Town but was crushed. Reganido, the former Black-rank adventurer, who picked a fight with you in Frenn's guild but was crushed instead, and later changed his name to Redobell. And Nedir, the former jailer of the Empire, who changed his name to Dibel after being tortured by being crushed. And then there's Holyard, who planned to harm your daughter, but ended up being crushed all together—"
"Don't just tell me about these monsters without batting an eyelid! Do I have a grudge against you?!"
"Eh? No, we Brook adventurers certainly don't hold any grudge against you... but we do think it's a shame you guys can just go around smashing people's crotches like that. Honestly, it's quite disgusting. Also, more and more adventurers are becoming tomboys lately... I've always felt that my buttocks are in danger..."
"I feel a little sorry! When I bring Yue back, I'll tell her to stop crushing other people's crotches!"
"Shishi-chan! We don't hate you! Thanks to you, we were able to enter this beautiful world and meet so many wonderful friends—"
"I don't care if you're Ray or Di or whatever, just shut up! Your appearances have changed so much, I can't even recognize your original characters! And you're all scary! Especially your eyes, they're so terrifying!"
