When Ex woke up, the little slime pillow was shaking as if inviting beyond his blurry thoughts.

“Huh. This slime pillow looks small. Hmmm! It’s dangerous!!! Liina-chan.”

The drowsiness disappeared completely when I stopped my hand just before.

“Phew safe.”

“What a trap.”

I can’t say for sure, but Luka’s bigger trap is shaking up and down.

I was a little impatient, but when I saw him drooling and sleeping comfortably, I thought it was appropriate for his age.

When I cover her with a futon and wipe her mouth with a handkerchief, she smiles happily and makes me smile.

As if to cut through such peace,

“Don-don-don-don!” !

A series of bursts were faintly heard in the distance.

“Stampede?”

“I can see that your face is getting tense.”

“Support One”

I made Lyna-chan sparkle and flew downstairs to where the aunty was, and found her cooking.

“There’s an accident! Are you okay!”

“Good morning, Ex-kun? Oh, you have a habit of sleeping.”

“For now, it’s insurance.”

“Support One!”

“Eh, EX-kun?? Huh?”

Only the auntie’s belly glows, and she holds her stomach and crouches down.

! ?

“This is the first pattern.”

“…that?”

We’re screwed.

“You’re lying,” she trembles.

He looked like he was in pain, so I rubbed his back without knowing anything for the time being.

“I’m in trouble.” I can’t wear high heels right now, so what should I do?

“Oh, thank you.”

“No. I’m sorry.”

“My Support One doesn’t work?”

why?

I was about to panic, so Auntie rubbed her stomach and laughed.

“Don’t worry about that. Why don’t you try touching it, Ex?

“Oh! Support One”

“This time, the auntie’s body glowed.”

“Was it hanging on the child in your stomach?”

“A little while ago, the baby kick was +1, and it would hurt if the attack power became 1 from 0.”

“Huh? I feel better now. The pain and fatigue seem to have disappeared.”

“No, no, don’t worry about it”

sorry.

“Good for you.”

Just when I thought that there was nothing to worry about, I heard the faint sound of the explosion earlier.

“No, it’s not good at all!”

“What’s wrong? Look like that.”

“Rather than that, there’s an explosion in the distance. It might be a sign of the stampede.”

“Even though I’m serious, I was laughed at!” ?

“Ahaha”

“Please listen seriously! Something strange is happening around the outer wall.”

Wiping her tears from laughing, the carefree aunt continued.

“Fufufu, I heard that sound long before Ex-kun was sleeping peacefully. I’m relieved. I’ll understand the meaning of the sound.”

“Huh?”

what? As I listened carefully and waited, a voice approached from outside telling me the answer.

“Everyone in Forest End, this is the Imperial Army! This is the Imperial Army.

As I walked, my voice drifted away.

“Whoa… I lost all my strength.”

“Look. You should leave the fools to the kingdom. By the way, you looked like a hero who would save the world just now.”

“Huh”

“You’re cool, aren’t you, Ex?”

“Please stop”

“I was stroked and caressed.”

“He was handsome next to him.”

“I’m powerless”

He put his hand on his cheek and stared at me as if he had stopped making fun of me. I’m in trouble because this person is beautiful when she doesn’t talk.

“Look, Ex-kun. Men aren’t muscles. They’re hearts. You were as cool as you were!”

“Thank you. But I want to be strong.”

“I’m also a man who looks good with a sword.”

“He laughed at me.”

“But you’re small, aren’t you?”

“There must be a way”

“Secret boots or something.”

such as power gloves.

“If you want to grow that big, eat the overcooked homemade food. It’s a special oyakodon!”

“No. I’m a light eater.”

“No thank you there.”

“I waved my hand as though I was running away and jumped out.”

“That’s the place, Ex-kun!”

“I’ll be back”

“It can’t be helped.”

“I won’t grow vertically at the cost.”

“I don’t like being on the side.”

When I stepped out of the store, the town was buzzing, and the people I passed by were looking hopeful with the special edition of the Brave Newspaper in their hands.

“Perhaps they’ve finished handing out a lot of them, and someone with an extra is approaching.”

“Yes, boy. Go ahead.”

“Thank you”

On the small pieces of paper that were handed out free of charge, the letters danced with the arrival of reinforcements.

“I see. You don’t have to work hard anymore.”

“If I tell Luka, will he say, “Look, it’s exactly what you said,” with an air of pride?”

As if the recent closed atmosphere was a lie, the cheerful voices of drunken people resounded in the lively city.

“You’re safe now.”

“Oh, those who got away. Too bad.”

“What a stampede! Nothing to do with fools!”

“I felt like I was having fun, so I skipped it.”

[Thanks and Report]

Thanks to you,

“The story of Volume 2 of the book came.”

thank you.

　March 2022 (planned)

“For those who have purchased the novel, there is no number on the spine.” You may have wondered.

“There is a reason for this, and if I confess, I will continue to focus on Meishi Murakami’s manga, and will it be okay if I only write one volume for the novel?” I thought it was because I started.

It was unexpected that Eiji Usatsuka, the creator of the anime “The Familiar of Zero”, would be in charge of the illustrations.

“I thought you were joking, huh?” Can you really accept it? It brings back a frightening memory.

Although volume 1 of the book is packed with laughter, there was a request to write a story about Ex’s past at the end of the volume, and since this is the 136th episode’s detailed heartbreak story, the ending is a bit sad.

“Some people like this kind of ending, but I think the unplanned 2nd volume will end with a happy ending, and I think I’ll be able to get rid of my regrets.”

“Thanks to the readers for inviting the two amazing teachers, we ended up talking about Volume 2.”

It is said that demons laugh when talking about next year, but this work is a comedy, so I hope you will laugh.

“I look forward to your continued support.”
