The Master and His Family

"The other side asked me to take care of them.

"Really"

　After spending the night with my children and grandchildren, I returned to Omicle and reported the events over there to Sylphy and the others who were waiting here.

"Ix will also be in a position where he can have some freedom after serving as the monarchy this term.

"There are still many unexplored areas here.

　Isla nodded at Sylphy's words. This is the eighth time I've seen Isla like this, but no matter how many times I see her, I wonder if she's okay with her small body...she herself is Kero. Even though

"How were my children?"

"As far as I could tell, everyone seemed to be doing well.

"It can't be helped."

　Melty puts her hand on her cheek and makes a troubled expression. Her first child with her was born as a normal sheep beastman, so now he has passed away. However, he built a solid family with himself, received a cute wife, and showed us cute grandchildren. Their grandchildren created great-grandchildren, and great-grandchildren created great-grandchildren, and me and Melty's descendants are rooted in various parts of Melinard Kingdom.

"Father, how was my clan?"

　The one who called out to me was a fox beastkin girl. She is my cute girl with golden fox ears and five tails. Her name is Hikari. She is the daughter of me and the fox-eared beastman Byaku, and she is of the same demon species as Melty.

"It's the same as Melty.

"Is that so... I'd like to go see you again when I've calmed down a little more."

"I can go whenever I want to."

　The reason I went over there this time was to see how the children were doing and to procure things that were difficult to obtain here. I can make most things with my ability, but there is a limit to that.

　To be more specific, I can't make paintings or works of art with my own ability, and even if I can make a book, I can't do anything about the contents. I've known this ability for a long time, but it seems to be flexible and has a lot of advantages.

"How was this place?"

"This is a peaceful place. There were only two attacks as usual, and the golems cleaned them up, so there was no curtain for us."

"What is peace in the face of an attack?"

　Here - in Omicle there is a threat that threatens humans like us. Well, they're the same monsters as those over there, but the number and types of them here are vastly different. When I first came here, I had to keep fighting against the monsters that rushed in for about two weeks. It would have been dangerous if I hadn't thoroughly prepared golem soldiers, weapons and ammunition, and various materials. I don't know how to go back over there, it was really hard because it was full of monsters and there was absolutely no sign of people.

　The man-made structures in Omikuru are full of ruins and have become dens of monsters. If you do, you'll be attacked by a horde of monsters... It was really tough when you first came here.

　Find a community of people who have survived here after hardships, find out how to deal with the monsters here, destroy nests, secure the area, and support the community. has spread. In the end, it doesn't change what you do here or there. Well, it's basically a monster that can't be interacted with, so there are many things that are easier than over there.

"Isn't it peaceful compared to a period of time?

"That time was tough..."

"I still dream"

　Sylphy shrugs her shoulders with a cup of honey liquor in one hand, while Melty and Hikari smile wryly. Isla nodded, so it seems that the first two weeks after coming here were somewhat traumatic for the girls as well. It was a while ago, though.

"So what about Sumeru and the others? Seraphita and the others don't seem to be there either."

"Ah, after Kosuke returned over there, there was a bit of trouble in the eastern section. Also, after Kosuke went over there yesterday, Grande wandered off somewhere.

"If and Aqua are hiding in the underground library found in the west section. I'm sure mold will grow soon."

"Say that. If there hadn't been an eighth person, Isla would have been there."

"Even so, I'll be by your side when Kosuke comes back. I'm a woman who can do it."

　Saying that, Isla puffs out her chest, but as usual, her chest remains modest. Or rather, Isla really has no signs of getting old. No, not just Isla, but all the long-lived species.

"I see. If you don't have to worry about Grande, what's the problem?"

"It's a dispute between the Kosuke faction and the maternal faction."

"Ah, ah… was it okay for Seraphita to appear?"

"It's probably a trivial misunderstanding, and the people of the Maternal faction will definitely listen to what Mother says, so it should be fine."

"I don't know what to do, that is..."

"It can't be helped"

"I can't help it"

"I can't help it"

"I see..."

　I am depressed by the answers of the three.

　What is the conflict between my faction and the Seraphita faction? In other words, it is a battle between factions about which one is more suitable for the chief god. In other words, it is a push war. They are arguing over which one is more suitable for the center.

"Those guys are saying we're not gods or anything, but they really don't listen."

"Well... can't it be helped?"

"There are many short-lived people here…"

"From their point of view, it can't be helped that we, who continue to live unchanged no matter how many generations have passed, look like transcendent beings."

　There were humans in Omicle too. However, they were all very short-lived. Their average lifespan is only five years, and they live as long as ten years. They grow rapidly and become adults within a year of being born, have children after two years, and begin to grow old around the age of four. At first I didn't know how to get along with them, but now I managed to build a good relationship. No, it went too well and they are treated like gods who descended to this world.

"In the end, we still haven't found a way to manage their short lives..."

"We just need to find something in the underground library in the west section."

"Yeah..."

　People here are short-lived, in other words their life cycle is very short. When I looked into it, there was a section that evolved or changed by itself in that direction. There are still many unknowns, such as how the civilization that existed in Omicle was destroyed, but as a result of examining the materials found, it seems that the civilization collapsed long ago due to a large breeding of monsters or something. I know.

　After that, those who survived explored various survival strategies, and as a result, those who survived were those who adopted the strategy of speeding up the cycle as a species and creating a large amount of immediate fighting power in a short period of time instead of having a short life. That's why.

"There may be other surviving humans, but it's hard to get around."

"There's no point in rushing this much. Luckily, we still have time. It's fine if we take it slow. If anything, we can let Ix and the others help us, or entrust the rest to them. Na"

"No matter how much time passes, Kosuke can't get rid of the habit of rushing through life."

"It seems to be Kosuke-san."

"Father seems to be busy all the time."

　Not only my wives but also my daughter told me. It can't be helped, can it? It's said that the triplet's soul is 100. It doesn't change that much when one hundred becomes two hundred.

"However, going back to the topic, I don't think anyone understands. If I'm the god of creation, then Sylphy is the master."

"Are you bringing up that story now… it must have been over a hundred and fifty years ago."

　Saying that, Sylphy smiles wryly. Sylphy was the only one who put a collar on me before and after. Are you so easily forgotten?

"No matter how much time passes, Sylphy will still be my master."

　I pour honey liquor from the bottle I took out of my inventory into Sylphy's cup with a wry smile. Come to think of it, I've had a long relationship with this honey since we first met.

"Then, as Kosuke's master, I order you. I feel like eating the food Kosuke made today. Something that doesn't use crafting abilities."

"Oops, that's right. I wonder what happened to the ingredients."

　Receiving Sylphy's unreasonable behavior, I began to examine the contents of my inventory. It reminded me of the old days, so maybe I'll make something like tacos for the first time in a while. That's not enough, so I made soup and grilled meat... yeah, I don't have enough hands. Let Hikari help you.

"Okay.

"Umu, it's not painful."

　We exchange grandiose exchanges and laugh with each other.

　Two hundred years have passed since I came to this world. Let's try to survive. With my lovely master and his family.
