*****
I unleashed the Light Magic, surrounding the three large lizards. I felt it wouldn't be as easy as purifying food, yet I also felt it wouldn't be drastically different. I concentrated for several minutes.
Gradually, the light diminished and then softly faded away.
「Is it over... I wonder?」
I thought it was probably fine, but I couldn't be confident in my first attempt. I gently opened my eyes, which had been closed for concentration... and when I opened them, an unusual scene unfolded before me.
「Good boy, good boy, yes, good boy~」
「...I wish he wouldn't nonchalantly stroke the giant lizard with that expressionless face.」
The demon man, whose face had been consistently devoid of expression since the beginning, was petting the lizard's head. It was truly bizarre. It was not heartwarming in the slightest.
「You're a good boy!」
The demon child was riding on the lizard’s massive, scaly back, laughing delightedly. Yes, this part is heartwarming and healing. I'll just ignore the lizard's powerful, intimidating face.
It seems I succeeded.
「Did they calm down?」
「Beyond recognition.」 The man said this was their original state.
「Want to pet it?」
「No, thank you.」
「No?」
「It means 'I’m fine.'」
「The language of the human world is profound.」
「Well, I happen to know a lot of different words.」
I kept quiet about the occasional resurfacing of my previous life's knowledge, as it would lead to complications.
Just as I sighed in relief at the sight of the lizards meekly submitting to being stroked, I heard a shout: 「Melissa!」「Woof—!?」 The impact nearly stopped my breathing.
I wish he wouldn't tackle me at the waist from behind. I almost yelled, but I noticed the hands clinging to my waist were trembling, and I swallowed the words.
「Zen, are you okay?」
「Yeah.」
「Non, are you alright?」
「More or less. Though we would have been in trouble if you hadn't shown up.」
「A hero always arrives fashionably late.」
「Huh?」
「It was a joke, please stop looking at me with genuine contempt.」
The conversation was light, but I couldn't laugh sincerely because the atmosphere was tense. Mainly because the aura Nonnalie was emitting was terrifying... she wasn't even bothering to hide her killing intent.
「Hey, is he a demon?」
「Ah, well, it seems so. He's that child's father.」
「Hmm? Is he harmless?」
「For now.」
「He seems to have tamed those giant lizards well.」
「Yes, he does.」
「...」
「...」
Why the silence? Because Nonnalie and I simultaneously looked down at the ground.
Two of the lizards that Nonnalie had defeated before I arrived were lying there.
I wonder if this is going to be bad. What if that demon man gets furious that his lizards were killed?
Maybe I should be ready to run at any moment.
Just as I thought that, Nonnalie looked at my face and asked, 「Can you heal them?」
「Eh, are they alive?」
「Barely.」
「I... see.」
If they were dead, nothing could be done. But if they were alive, I could probably manage something. I've never healed a monster before, but I figure all living things are more or less similar.
I held my hand over the fallen lizard and concentrated. I felt the presence of life and didn't feel like I would fail... and with that thought, I cast Healing Magic.
***
Now, we had five healthy giant lizards, the demon man controlling them, and the demon boy riding on his father's shoulders.
Behind me were Nonnalie and Zen.
I was ready to start investigating the cause of the lizards going wild.
But! Why did it turn out like this?
「Um... could you please let go of my hand?」
My hand was being held. By whom? By the demon man. I wasn't going to swoon because I was being held by a handsome man! I have Lord Cloud, and I'm accustomed to handsome men because of him.
But the demon man, seemingly unconcerned by this, flashed a beautiful smile.
Without letting go of my hand, he declared:
「Do not return to the human world. Become my wife.」 A sudden marriage proposal.
「No, I'm already married...」 Even after I refused, he said,
「Forget the man who is not by your side. Become my wife and the mother of this child,」 clearly not listening.
「No, ah, but I...」
「That was a story from one hundred and fifty years ago.」
Listen to my side of the story, not yours! And what the heck happened one hundred and fifty years ago? Demons have ridiculous lifespans!
The demon who wouldn't listen continued his tale.
「I met a woman. She was a very beautiful demon, and a strong woman. We fell in love at first sight.」
「Why do I suddenly have to listen to a demon's love story?」
「And we had a child between us.」
「Still not listening, I see, yes, yes. And skipping over everything, you jump straight to having a child.」
"We had a child."
That phrase somehow felt nostalgic.
「However, she is no longer here.」
「Did she pass away?」
「She said she found another man she liked and went somewhere.」
「ARE ALL WOMEN LIKE THAT?!!!!」
No, no, I think women of that type are rare in the world. They're more than just rare; they must be super rare, like SR, no, S-rank rare multiplied by ten!
Yet, why do I meet so many parents who have those kinds of stories!?
「Perhaps the shock of being abandoned by his mother made Loadious withdrawn. He is a child who doesn't have a single friend.」
「Loadious? Ah, your child.」
I looked at the demon child as I said that, and he smiled sweetly at me. What a cute child.
「That child is mysteriously attached to you. Therefore, become my wife and the mother of my child.」
「No, but I already have a husband. And children, too.」
The moment I said that, a dangerous light flickered in the demon's eyes.
