Harem of the Dora Prince

“What! This is also a stunning transformation!" Musashi

“Doododoodododo, dragoonn!” Venu

“‘Uuhiyoo!’ Incredible! A dragon! It's a cool dragoonn!" Meri

Before noon, three different screams echoed at the training grounds outside the Dora castle. The three were Musashi, Venu, and Meri who raised a surprised voice having them witness for the first time, Kaitos' dragon form in Battle Mode while she lies on the ground. And as we decided to depart for our honeymoon, my brides and I prepare for the journey and get on Kaitos' back.......

“Naahaahaahaa! Kaitos, you were a real dragon!" Meri

“Yes. I did not want to hide it, but there were various circumstances here" Kaitos

A low voice rumbling echoes, like the roars of a thunderstorm. The smaller version of Kaitos' dragon form has a more child-like voice, different from her alluring voice in her human form, which after being accustomed to it for a long time still confuses me to this date. Meri was not the first one to be startled.

“Kuukuukuu. After all this roaring is exhilarating, Kaitos"

“It’s not like I feel good about it, but I don't care as long you’re happy"

Her solid scales stands upright as with her violet wings move. Together with her long tail, her length is about half of the vast training ground, which is a amazing sight as it is said that this is a period of high praise.

“Do all people from Kurinos have the shape of a dragon?Or Is it that all the people of Kurinos can transform into a beast? What kind of principle does it follow? In the first place, the mass is like......" Venu

“It is not so unusual except for Baretoria.....hey, Nii-san?" Efrika

“Well, a mythical beast should be rare for Venu who rarely goes outside

the castle" Craft

Because Kaitos is a rare species that is considered to be extinct, it is not unreasonable to be surprised at the strangeness. Rather, Musashi and Meri have readily accepted the abnormal.

“Kaitos-dono! I didn't know that Kaitos-dono was a dragon......I′m sorry! I′m deeply sorry!" Musashi

Now that you mention it after the bride training was formed, I remember Musashi trying to ask Kaitos about various things about Admol dragons.

“Don't worry. It's just that I hid it on my own" Kaitos

“It is not straightforward. But even so, Kaitos-dono′s aura is normal" Musashi

“Is it a problem of my aura? I thought that I was a rogue person from the usual though" Kaitos

Not afraid of Kaitos who returned to the figure of a dragon, Musashi touches her wings and body. Following her, the scared Venu also stretches out her hand.

“Hey hey, Sensei! We′re going on a trip on the back of this Kaitos?" Meri

“Yes. We will fly through the sky at a fairly high speed, so we will be able to arrive at our destination ten times faster than a horse carriage" Craft

“Uuhyaa! As expected after all! I'm so excited!" Meri

“On Kaitos-san′s back......is that okay? We don't have to worry, do we?"

Contrary to Meri who is excited, Venu is anxiously pale.

“Maybe I should have shown you my resting form first” Kaitos

“Yes. Those who understand well know that you′re harmless" Craft

Even if Kaitos transform again, they wouldn't understand, so let's prepare for the departure soon!

“Yes Yes. Well then I will start the final confirmation before departure" Craft

I always ride on the back of the Kaitos alone, so there's no need for luggage, but this time, five people, including me, will ride on her. If we put our luggage together, we can't just climb onto her back.

“Zenan! Is the installation finished yet?" Craft

For a while now, Zenin is supposed to load the luggage on Kaitos′s body and attaching saddles and reins to get us on Kaitos......

“Hoohooo, did you call me, Craft-sama? I was getting tired of waiting, this Zenan will become sad in various meanings now" Zenan

Zenan shows her face from the back of Kaitos. It seems that preparations have already been completed. She is still a fast working woman.

“Craft-sama. I'm sorry, but I could only install up to four saddles" Zenan

“I don't care. I'm used to riding, so I don't need a saddle" Craft

I have never been shaken off not even once. There is no problem, no problem.

“But even so, it's the first time I've traveled by air" Efrika

After confirming the baggage, Efrika opened her mouth happily. No, everyone other than Efrika seems to be looking forward to flying on Kaitos.

“The wind feels good, once you experience this feeling you will become addicted to it" Craft

“Ooo, it's a enjoyment!” Musashi

“Tsk! Hey, Musashi, it's dangerous! Or rather, put down your sword!" Craft

Every time Musashi moves around, her two large katanas that are wrapped around her back clash with one another. If she carry this, then she will be in danger while flying.

“No, No, Craft-dono it’s because the sword is the soul of a samurai, it is not easy to drop down" Musashi

“......Okay fine. Let's get started" Craft

When I speak, all the brides except Kaitos stand in a row and wait in order. First, I lifted Efrika up and put her on the back of Kaitos while being careful not to let her fall. At first, Efrika, was disappointed, but she went up and put her feet on Kaitos′s back. Everything is safe.

“Now, it's my turn Craft! Hold me gently!" Venu

“I'm going to hug you. Charmed, come on, go up quickly" Craft

I lend a hand to Venu as she was struggling to climb on top. A dissatisfied voice from Venu was heard immediately after and I ignore it while continuing with Meri.

“Nsyoto. Naahaahaahaa! I can climb up myself!" Meri

“Is that so? That's very disappointing" Craft

Meri put her feet on Kaitos' arm and put a leap. Meri is equipped with her trident on her back like Musashi with her Katanas......Kaitos is not it heavy?

“Guu, Meri. Will you get on a little more gently? You are different from Venu" Kaitos

“Ah, sorry Kaitos! I′m heavy, unlike Venu" Meri

“It is Venusera! Please refrain from hurting those hands!" Venu

Venu seems to be hiding her weapon inside her clothes, but it's so heavy. As for the chest......well, next is Musashi's turn?

“Muu, Craft-dono. I will pass this to you before I forget it" Musashi

“Just get up in a hurry......wh-what?" Craft

Musashi has something wrapped in a red washcloths in her hands......Bento box?

“Is this a bento box? It's wrapped in a cloth that looks so gorgeous" Craft

“Indeed. For the sake of Craft-dono, I made it in a hurry during the preparation time earlier!" Musashi

Musashi talking happily with a smile. That's why I thought that I could not see her during preparation......

“......Ah. I might not be able to return home alive" Craft

“Wh, what do you mean by that! This time it is a successful dish!" Musashi

“No, that's not what I meant......well, okay. Thank you, Musashi" Craft

I receive the big bento. I noticed an injury on Musashi′s fingers, though I couldn't believe it because she never had an injury during sword practice......it is totally overwhelming.

“Hey, Musashi-san! What are you missing?" Kaitos

“There is no missing! In order to be able to eat with everyone, a large box......" Musashi

“Hey Hey, let's go. If our departure gets delayed, our arrival will, of course, be slowed down" Craft

We will need to leave early to Isamura so that we can arrive around noon. I didn't plan to eat for any meals or fights before we get to Isamura.

“Nii-san, we are ready” Efrika

“Okay. Then let's go" Craft

After confirming that Musashi is sitting in a saddle, I jumped onto the back of Kaitos. Hah, it's been a long time since I last ride on the back of Kaitos!

“Now. This is the last, Craft-sama" Zenan

“Ah...... Zenan. Why are you still on top?" Craft

“Eh? This Zenan will accompany this trip as well" Zenan

Come on, what is this flat-chested maid saying?

“You are determined to be an answering machine. I also don't bring Leona with us" Craft

“......Eh? This Zenan will accompany this trip as well" Zenan

“Stop repeating as if you did not listen. Please get off quickly" Craft

“-geh- he” Zenan

Raising a voice like a crushed frog, Zenan jumps to the ground. Hurry up and keep your joke moderately......what?

“Cr, Craft-niisama, zee, haa, haaa, Cr, Craft-niisamaa!!" Leona

“Leona, have you slipped out?" Craft

Shortly after Zenan landed, Leona came running out of breath from the castle.

“Huu, huu, suu, haaaa......you′re terrible Nii-sama. Without saying anything......” Leona

“Sorry Leona. I went to see you in your room, but you were talking to that fucking father” Craft

“Yes. I was crying for more than two hours......I was in trouble" Leona

Leona rarely frowns whether she is disgusted with our father's fondest love. I wanted to help, but the moment I′m found out by my father I will be in trouble again.

“After all, you are going on your honeymoon now......Nii-sama" Leona

“Yes. It might become a little lonely, but can you bear it?" Craft

“Uu......well, I waited a year before, didn't I? A few days......I will be cool!" Leona

Leona pretends to be courageous, but she might want to stall the truth. The appearance of Leona with a red face, teary eyes, and trembling lips is very touching.

“......Hey Efrika? After all, Leona also──" Craft

“Kaitos, let's leave quickly" Efrika

"Yes, I agree with you" Kaitos

With the call of Efrika, Kaitos spreads her wings and starts flying toward the sky. As soon as she stopped, she sped up and raised the altitude at once.

“Hey, Efrika! At least, let me say goodbye!" Craft

“Do not pamper her Nii-san. Leona should start to leave her Nii-sama soon" Efrika

“Nevertheless we do not have to do it like this!" Craft

“Craft-niisama!! Elder sisters! Be careful!!" Leona

“......I will return this debt firmly. Insensitive virgin Craft-sama" Zenan

Leona and Zenan are becoming smaller. Oh, my......ah, Leona......

“Hey, Nii-san. Do you not want to reply to Leona properly?" Efrika

“Of course! Hey, Leona! You too should be careful about your body!” Craft

With all my love's thoughts, I call to Leona. I felt that Zenan also had muttered something, but I don't care about it frankly. Gradually, their small figures slowly disappear from our sight and after we reached a height that it was not possible to hear each other's voices, we finally stopped the climb.

“Ugh! It's so awesome! Over the clouds in the blink of an eye!" Meri

“It's amazing......the sky is so blue. And the city is so small......" Musashi

“Huhuhu. The scenery beyond the clouds is not what you can see often" Venu

Kaitos is shifting from vertical flight to side flight, and started gliding on the air current, It is because there are lots of luggage and a few of the passengers are experiencing their first flight.

“It's really beautiful. And, as Nii-san said......the wind feels good" Efrika

“I also can fly in the sky even if it is magic, but I can't fly this high!!” Meri

“There are airships in Baretoria, but the speed is widely different!" Venu

Efrika and the others express their feelings while holding down their hair from the strong wind.

“Good, Good. Good reaction, you guys" Kaitos

That's what it means to ride on Kaitos. It's a great way to move faster than a carriage, and to be able to enjoy the journey.

“The view from up here is wonderful. The clouds that continue to be everywhere are like......” Venu

“Those clouds seem to be outrageous! Hey Kaitos! Can you eat clouds?" Meri

“I have eaten them before, but they were not delicious at all" Kaitos

“Hey you! Please do not break this romantic mood!" Venu

Venu and Meri are enjoying the air travel. After a while, we were looking at the distant scenery and enjoying the feeling of a pleasant breeze in our body. Suddenly, Efrika opened her mouth as if she just recalled something.

“Speaking so, Nii-san. Zenan was strange......is that good?" Efrika

“Nothing is good, it's strange to take her with us on this trip" Craft

The recent Zenan was strangely violent, and this much revenge would be forgiven. Did she get married and I missed some things?

“If you treat it too carelessly, you might get a terrible retaliation later" Efrika

“That's what I want. No matter what Zenan do, I'll just lightly get over it" Craft

“Huhuhu, you started talking like Musashi just now. I wonder if Nii-san is influenced by us?" Efrika

Efrika is showing a nice face giving off a very happy vibe, and she's grinning at me. Nonsense. Just because I happened to say something like Musashi......what, Musashi?

“I have never seen Musashi's reactions ever since Kaitos flew off" Craft

“She normally would say something. Is she feeling bad?" Efrika

To my words, everyone stares towards Musashi.

“Hey Musashi. In a few minutes I will see your home country......" Craft

With Kaitos's head facing forward, right front is Efrika and behind is Venu. Meri on the left front, Musashi on the back. I was in the center of everyone, so I forgot to check the state of Musashi behind me, but──

“Mu, Musashi......?” Craft

Ahead of everyone's eyes. It was a samurai who trembled and closed her eyes. Moreover, while rubbing the palms of both hands, she murmured something extraordinary.

“Nyami Amidadukubyu Nyami Ayamida Bubu Chubu Ami Mamidakubyu Chubu Ame......." Musashi

“Hey Musashi. What are you mumbling......" Craft

I worried and put my hand on Musashi's shoulder. And then......

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Ah, fallliiinnnggg!!” Musashi

“Hey! Don't rampage Musashi!” Craft

“Bieeeeeeee!! Scaaarrrryyyy!!” Musashi

Musashi swings around her swords which are still in their sheaths. Eee? Is she afraid of heights!

“Kuu, Craft! Tell Musashi not to go on a rampage!" Kaitos

“Oh, calm down, Musashi! I will be by your side!" Craft

Musashi’s violent acts shaking Kaitos’ back. As it will be too dangerous, so I will try to embrace Musashi. With her panicking, Musashi can't be embraced at all.

“Kyaa! Musashi-san, please calm down!" Venu

“Naahaahaahaa! I can not wait for this!" Meri

“Uu, Nii-san! Do it quickly!” Efrika

“Ooooooziiiiiruuuuuuuu! Sccccaaaarrrrryyyy!!” Musashi

“Hey, you′re still a samurai! Musashi, it's me! Look at my eyes!" Craft

Musashi is shaking her body like a useless child as shed large tears. Damn, I cannot hit her like that......is there no way to stop something?

“Tch, Can’t help it!!" Musashi

I caught both of Musashi's arms, and force my face closer to her so that our eyes will meet. However, her closed eyelids will never open this way......in that case!

“"Heeeellllpppp! Jinuuuuumuu, muguuuuu......nmuu" Musashi

“............Puhaa. Hey, did you wake up?" Craft

“Hyaa…...hawaa......hoe......” Musashi

I kissed her without hesitation, giving me no time to say something. Musashi, who seemed clueless as to what happened, focused on me with a trembling face as she blinks.

“It's okay. You won't drop off or fall, I'll help you" Craft

“Ha......Hahii, Craft-dono. Not good” Musashi

Thank goodness. She looks like she was still in an excited state with her face turning red, but Musashi seems to have calmed down a bit.

“I, I thought I was going to die......" Musashi

“Good grief! Musashi, you get a kiss from Nii-san after troubling everyone!" Efrika

“Huhuuh, I didn't care because it was fun" Musashi

“I would have hit you" Kaitos

Thanks for your patience Kaitos. I wondered what would happen at one point.

“Musashi, are you still scared?" Craft

“No......with this I am not afraid or scared as long as I am hugged by Craft-dono" Musashi

“I understood. Then for a while......" Craft

“Hey! What, are you feigning innocence? Sly, very sly!" Venu

“That's right, Musashi! Please hand over Nii-san to us!" Efrika

“You can't steal a march, Musashi. Craft-sensei belongs to everyone!" Meri

Suddenly, three arms have stretched out from three directions grasping my cloak. Oh, this is a troublesome pattern.

“Musashi-san! Craft come this way, quickly!” Venu

“What are you saying Venu! Nii-san is mine!" Efrika

“I'll join you! Come here, Sensei!" Meri

I have to say sure enough, the three of them have embarked on a snatch. As a man I am happy, but the situation is not obediently.

“No! Craft-dono will stay by my side!" Musashi

“Tim! Ouch! If you grasp so strongly, it hurts, Musashi!” Craft

“Nii-san hates it! Please release him, Musashi!" Efrika

“That's right! Craft, come to me!" Venu

“Good grief! Sensei, jump into my chest!" Meri

The girls on Kaitos’ back falls into panic yet again. It will be seriously just as it is. On Kaitos' back which began shaking, I was prepared at that time──

“Stop it immediately, you guys!” Kaitos

Kaitos’s roar roars to the far side of the sky. The long tail of Kaitos has extended without mentioning──

“”””Ouch”””” The girls

The head of four people except me was hit. The slash from the tail seems to be quite painful.

“Try to make a fuss again. Next time, I won't hesitate to drop you down!" Kaitos

“Sorry Kaitos. Everyone, please stay quiet until we arrive at the capital of Isamura" Craft

“......Yes, I understand Nii-san. I'm sorry, Kaitos" Efrika

“So, Sorry Kaitos-san" Venu

“Ouch, Ouch......I'm sorry, Kaitos" Meri

“I am sorry......" Musashi

I think it is a pity for Efrika who is caught up having fun, but Kaitos is going to be strict as the guardian of everyone's life. I have to emulate that attitude.

“Ah, Kaitos. How much further is it to Isamura's Sando castle? You've gone through it before, you know about the approximate time, right?" Craft

“That's right. We just came into the territory of Isamura. There are plenty of remaining places" Kaitos

“A few dozen minutes......okay. Well then, just increase the speed a little more okay” Craft

“Roger that. The headwind is stronger now......if it weakens a little more, I’ll try to increase the speed" Kaitos

It became a damp air. We will arrive at our destination quickly, therefore I want to switch the mood. Besides, I have gotten a bit hungry during this trp and the bento received by Musashi...…

“Hmm? Bento?" Craft

I had it in my hand right after I left, but where did it go now?

“In, in such a place......" Craft

Looking around, the bento box slipped down to Kaitos′ tail. It seems to have rolled to the other side when Musashi went on a rampaged.

“Bad. It was about to fall down” Craft

It was a relief that the knot of the package caught on the scales of Kaitos. I compromise to the tail to rescue the Bento box in a hurry.

“Okay, I'm going to speed up soon. Hold onto the reins firmly so that you are not thrown off. Keep your face down because the wind will get stronger" Kaitos

I reached the bento, and as soon as I picked it up, Kaitos gave a word of caution. Surely, no. I have to sit so that I won't be dropped off──

“Eh?” Craft

Abrupt floating feeling.

“........................EH?” Craft

While a strangely slow feeling swell up inside me, I turn my eyes to the back. What I saw was the appearance of Kaitos flying far away at a tremendous speed. And somehow I was left behind and floating in the air. No, I′m not floating......

“Ka, Kaaaaiiiittooosss! Uoewaaaaaaaaaaa!!” Craft

It took me awhile to notice but the time was moving so slowly, and after a few seconds, my body continues to fall to the ground at once. That idiot! She shook me off! And went away without even noticing this situation!

“Dammit…….its looking like ants……” Craft

Looking down below, I dropped through layers of clouds while flapping my cloak trying to slow down my fall air with resistance. There is a green forest spreading out there and judging by my current speed of falling down......I will approximately be there in 20 seconds.

“.....Haa. I'm not going to die in a place like this" Craft

I managed to catch the knot of the lunch box while regaining my composure. And when I pull out Danthes with my vacant hand, it emits a thunder from its whole body and my whole body is strengthened without fail. The survival rate of this alone is skyrocketing.

“Hahihama, Hahuhehe......" Craft

With my strengthened body, I decide to devise my plan in the air. Not to praise myself, but I'm happy that the contents of the box lunch that I caught with my mouth are safe as well. While thinking about such a thing, I threw myself into the mountains of trees to cushion my fall, and as I approach the forest, my eyes──

How much time has passed since I was thrown off? Even though this is a situation where I don't know if I′m alive or dead, I am dreaming normally. What? Why do I think that it's a dream? Yes, I am now…...I am enjoying the sea on Hawaioai′s beach.

“Hey, Nii-san! Why don't you come over and swim?" Efrika

Efrika is wearing a bright red bikini while waving her hands toward me. Behind her, are my other wives who are also wearing a swimsuit.

“Craft! What do you think? My sexy swimsuit style!" Venu

Black swimsuit with frills......it certainly suits her, but it is somewhat unsatisfactory. f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢

“Rather than a swimming suit, this one is easier to swim with!" Musashi

Her top is wrapped in bands of cloth and wearing a loincloth for her bottom. Musashi is proud of her unique swimsuit.

“It's cold and it feels good, Sensei! Do you want to have a contest?" Meri

“If you like I'll teach you how to swim Craft. Fufu......take a hand" Kaitos

Seeing the combination of both big and huge breasts is great. Meri's swimsuit has a pretty unique design, different from the others, but with her wearing it the oddity of it disappears due to her irregular chest. Although I have little to no knowledge about Kaitos' swimsuit, It seems to be the correct design of Bremfai Academy's swimsuit. The dark-blue swimsuit emphasizes Kaitos' evil body line following up with a white name tag on her chest labeled as "Kaitos."

“......That ancient character is strangely intriguing, isn't it? This is how you shake your soul" Craft

I will go to the beach. My wives in bathing suits are waiting for me there. Ah, I don’t have to go back anymore. Enter this sea and have fun with them.

“Okay, Nii-san, come over here......now, let's have fun with everyone, okay?" Efrika

Efrika smiles while her chest is shaking as if it will spill out from her swimsuit.

“Ah, I'm coming now......" Craft

I approach the sea one step at a time as the hot sunshine lit the sandy beach. Yielding into the temptation, no...like a powerful force is pulling me towards it.

“It's cold......and why is it so dark......?" Craft

Every step I take, the beach gradually loses its brightness and heat, giving it a cold and dark atmosphere. There was not a single cloud until a little while ago. No, There wasn't a sky in the first place?

Neither the sea nor my wives, nor even I exist here.

“......Well then, where am I now?" Craft

Even though it is my dream, I don't know anything. Is this really a dream in the first place? If I go on like this, what am I going to do?

“Niisan, COME CLOSER" ???

Am I alive right now──

“Katsu!” ???

“Uowaa!!” Craft

A powerful scream cuts through the dark world. I was awakened by the loud voice that was emitted in my ear and I regained my consciousness.

“Uuu......what the hell?” Craft

I whip up my throbbing, sore body and wake up. What I saw in my eyes was a giant man standing in front of me.

“Did you finally wake up? Boya, this is a dangerous place" Giant man

The man is wearing heavy armor over his whole body and a lot firmer than the one Musashi has and completely dressed up with a full set including the helmet which is covering his head.

“......Old man, was that loud voice yours?" Craft

Black hair and black eyes......he is definitely from Isamura. About forty years old? I think it's hard to judge someone’s real age just by appearance alone, he looks young.

“Really. You were trying to cross The River of Styx until I stopped you" Giant man

“Styx......river? What is that?" Craft

“The River of Styx is the boundary between this world and that world. It is said that no life can be found once you cross it" Giant man

“Oh is that so. It wasn't the ocean of Hawaioai......” Craft

Slowly, I get up and as I remove the dirt and tree branches off my clothes, I look around. I am thankful that my life was saved, but the question

still remains.

“Firmly, I fell from the top of the clouds and only received minor injuries" Craft

My body is still aching and it's hard to say that it's intact. My bones? are not broken. Well, this is a surprise, to think that I'm fortunate enough to live with only a few scratches.

“Especially in this forest, because you fell into this big tree, many branches and leaves would have offset the momentum of your fall. You were caught in those branches there when I found you" Giant man

“Heee? Then this tree is my benefactor......no, it is my beneficent tree" Craft

I'm sorry I've broken your branch quite a bit. And thank you for saving my life.

“Also, thanks to you, old man. I guess you got me down from this tree and you pulled me back to this world earlier, right?" Craft

“Hmm. The life and death of a person is a mystery, eventually it's up to you to decide. You are not destined to die today" Giant man

Even though I thank him, the old man diverts his line of sight with an obscure attitude.

“Such is life? Well good, things have changed since I was saved" Craft

After I paid the soil my respect, I pull up my beloved sword, which I had stuck on the side of the big tree, and return it to its sheath.

“I'm really glad that I was saved. If I had died on my honeymoon, It would have been the worst day of my life." Craft

“Hou, your honeymoon? You′re a married man?" Giant man

“Tentatively. Well, I'm more concerned about you than me. Who the hell are you?"′Craft

This far back in these woods, where no man can be seen on sight, and wearing heavy equipment on top of that. Besides, he is a stranger......

“Youngster, when asking for a name, you should introduce yourself first" Giant man

“Ah, as expected from a person from Isamura” Craft

Even when I traveled Isamura before, I had the same kind of interaction several times.

“Then I can keep being a youngster. I will call you old man as well" Craft

“......I see? Aside from that, I am not interested in your name" Giant man

It's not always a good idea to be honest because my name is widely known and disliked. I feel guilty to use an alias towards my benefactor......so it would be a good idea to avoid prying into each other's backgrounds.

“Ah, that's right. I have a favor to ask you, can you tell me the way to Sando castle?" Craft

“Sando Castle? What do you want from there?" Giant man

“I've strayed from my companions. Sando Castle was our destination, so if you’re going there, can I come along?" Craft

“I see. If I do, I will not be able to guide you, right now......" Giant man

The warrior old man crossed his arms to think.

“I’m currently on a mission to fulfill a certain purpose. No matter what, we can't go through this forest until I fulfill that mission" Giant man

“A certain purpose? What are you going to do in such a forest?" Craft

“Rumors of a known creature. With this hand, I am tasked to get rid of this thing that is threatening the land of Isamura." Giant man

The old man points to a bunch of swords leaning against a big tree beside him. Five swords with different lengths. Does this man intend to fight with five swords at the same time?

“Getting rid of an evil spirit......then old man, are you a samurai who is serving Sando Castle?” Craft

“............Something similar. And, as I said, I'm moving for a cause" Giant man

That's why he can't guide me. I'm embarrassed, trying to find the road alone will be difficult since it's hard to get out of this forest......It's also a good idea to wait for the guys here. Just before I stopped falling, a group of trees was in the way, slowing me down after I bent and broke some of the branches. My wives will probably stop before they arrive near the Sando castle and notice that I've fallen off. When it comes to that, all I have is one choice.

“Well, let's bring it to an end quickly" Craft

“Bringing to an end? What does that mean?" Giant man

“Like what I said. If I help you defeat that thing, wouldn't it be faster than doing it alone?"

If I return his kindness from rescuing me, then this old man can guide me safely. Recently, there was no chance to argue with an evil spirit──demons, and it is not bad to go on a rampage after a long time.

“From your words, you seem very confident. Good, come with me" Giant man

“Lets do it! You know the story, old man!" Craft

“However, if you are ever in the nick of danger, I won’t offer a helping hand" Giant man

The old man picks up his bundle of swords and begins to walk with them, carrying it on his shoulders. I also started to walk when the old man mentioned something.

“And youngster......there was a box lunch over there, is that your thing?" Giant man

“Ah, the lunchbox! Damn, I almost forgot about it!" Craft

The old man warrior pointed to a lunchbox wrapped in a red cloth, lying on the ground. I was wondering where it was blown off but it was nice to find it!

“That red towel, after all......" Giant man

“Hmm? What's wrong with this?" Craft

The warrior gazes at the lunch box that I happily picked up. Well, It's just a big lunch box, there's no reason to worry, right?

“No, nothing. Is this made by your wife?" Giant man

“Yes. At first, she wasn't a good cook, but recently, she practiced and improved her cooking skills." Craft

“Hou, you have a good bride that I do not have any doubts about your wife's cooking" Giant Man

“Obvious, right? I know I’m bragging, but she's the best wife" Craft

I catch up with the old man going through the woods, making small talk as we walk side by side. I want to check the contents of the Bento box, but every time I slow down I will be left behind by this old man.

“Cheeky speaking fondly of your beloved one. However your wife, compared to my daughter......what a shiftless thing!" Old man

“Eh, does old man have a daughter? I thought you might have a wife" Craft

“My wife is a good woman. Her body is weak, but her heart is strong......she has the will of steel, determined to not lose to anything" Old man

However, his daughter──continued so, the old man hides his eyes with a look like a crushed insult.

“She is halfway to do anything. She abandons her training for homemaking without being able to do it properly and went to the Sando Castle......were she started to wield a sword" Old man

“Hee? Sword art training......?” Craft

That is interesting, is not it? When I think about my wife, I thought that it was comparatively normal for Isamura.

“There might have been a problem in my way, too. The edge of a man seems to have been spoiled by his father, so she has been brought up severely since her childhood......but that was a foolish idea" Old man

“It's hard to raise a child. Its an story unfamiliar for me so I cant give you any advises" Craft

Even though there are five wives, I don't know what time it will be discretion......sniff.

“And at last......my daughter got married to a guy from another country without properly remembering one of her household chores. Moreover, the stories of that guy she married is a bastard, like a beast with bad habits" Old man

“Uwaa, that’s a story I could not bear with" Craft

“Totally. If that man appeared before me, I would drown him into The Sanzu River with my own hands. Youngster, do you think that it's too much?” Old man

“A, Ahaha......No, I guess” Craft

My eyes are not laughing at all, Old man. From his whole body there's a chilling, sharp bloodlust leaking out......or rather, a father who lost his daughter to another man is so scary! I think Musashi′s father will say the same thing once I meet him somehow. Musashi's father seems to have thought of me as a sleazy man.

“Youngster, you′re sweating a lot......what's wrong? " Old man

“No, Nothing! More than that, what kind of man do you think you can give your daughter to? Please let me know by all means! Naa? Naa?" Craft

“I don't know why you′re so desperate, but a good man to give my daughter......?" Old man

The old man keeps his hands on his chin and continues his words after showing his finger cutting the neck as a symbol.

“Let's see......if it's someone who can defeat me, I will have to admit it" Old man

“I see, if you want the daughter, beat the father!" Craft

If it is an ordinary father it is pleasing, but this man seems to be a considerable strong......

“I will give sympathy to the man who married your daughter. Even if he has many lives it will not be enough" Craft

“Maybe. I'm going to immediately behead that man's neck If it wasn't for this demon slaughtering mission......fuu, this is beyond my control." Old man

Perhaps, it may be better for me not to help this uncle. Unknown son-in law, your death will be on my palm.

“Wh, why is old man alone? Were you forced to work?" Craft

The general of Isamura──what is the father of Musashi thinking? Having men who can subjugated the demon, why are they sneaking out of the castle?

“Wrong. I left the castle without someone knowing......cough. No, I just volunteered" Old man

Giving his reply, the old man pushed aside the branches and steadily goes ahead. Only the sound of heavy armor rustles through the vegetation in this quiet forest. I hear that there are a lot of loyal samurais in Isamura. But It seems it's better to keep quiet..

“By the way, youngster. Have you ever hunted a demon?” Old man

“Ah, yes. I don't know how many times but I have hunted monsters with a bounty” Craft

However, unlike any other demons, the devil beasts in Isamura have a unique ability. If the opponent is a muscle-brain then it should be easy to defeat, but sometimes you encounter and struggle with a fellow who has a strange characteristic..

“Which reminds me, the monster who I fought at Isamura last time was tough" Craft

Several months ago. I fought a monster serpent called Yamata no Orochi when I was traveling with Kaitos. The monster had nine heads and was strong enough that we struggled, putting our lives on the line.

Kaitos burned down the heads that I severed with black flames. Convinced that I was going to achieve victory, I was on high alert, focused on defeating the monster on that night..

“It is good that you have hunting experience, anyway you self conceit......muu?" Old man

The old man, who was walking ahead of me, suddenly stopped and begins to rub his belly through the armor. The moment I tried to ask......guuu, I heard a familiar sound.

“......Ah, old man?” Craft

“Kuu......I'm still blue” Old man

Apparently, he seems to be hungry and proceeds to looks down with. Well, I have not eaten lunch yet. Well, if that is the case, this should be simple.

“Hey, old man. If you are hungry, let's eat this together" Craft

The moment I lift up the wrapped lunch box that I am holding in my right hand, the old man′s eyes open with surprise.

“What? Do you mean to share that box lunch with me?" Old man

“Isn't it a saying in Isamura that It would be a shame for a man to be hungry? You can't afford to fight against those monsters with an empty stomach" Craft

“Fuu. Then I won't hold back right now, but I'll obediently express my gratitude for this" Old man

“This? Was something wrong? It is not a shame of a man......what?" Craft

“Alright. Lets eat lunch now even if it is not time yet" Old man

The old man says so and take out one sword from the bundle of swords he is carrying. Next, he walked towards a big tree and──in a flash.

“Fast......" Craft

It was so fast that I couldn't follow it exactly, the way the old man slashed the tree can't be followed with human eyes. Besides that, I barely saw it extracted from its sheath, not even a glimpse. Musashi's technique is fast and sharp, but this is by far faster and sharper.

“Now we have a table. It will be easier to eat something" Old man

At the same time as the old man returns the sword to its sheath, with the cut from the sword, the giant tree falls to the opposite side. What remained was a stump with a perfect cut. The cut left a perfectly horizontal surface......there is no other word to describe it other than magnificent.

“I thought you were a ordinary person from the first glance, sorry old man" Craft

I put the lunch box at the ready-made table and unwrap it. Well, the problem is whether this content is safe or not......

“Uhee, after all" Craft 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

First of all the box has four layers, I proceed to open the top cover first. Looking at its contents were a lot of side dishes such as eggs, wieners, steamed, and fried food but they were all mushed together at the edge, ruining the presentation. It fell from that height, so this was bound to happen.

“The second box, third also safe.....how about the fourth box?" Old man

The contents of the third box, where the side dish was at the center, is shuffled. Only the fourth box with a packed rice ball miraculously remained its form to some degree.

“Hohou, I can see that your wife is very good at cooking" Old man

“Stop being sarcastic. My beloved wife made it with all of her love and effort" Craft

With that resolve, I won't waste this box lunch. I will wholeheartedly eat all of the dishes before me, even if it's in utter chaos and leave nothing behind.

“Do not get me wrong. I really praise your wife from my heart" Old man

“Eh? Ol, Old man! That!” Craft

I picked up the chopsticks enclosed in the package, while the old man picked up the broken eggs. He carries the broken eggs as it is and eats it all at once.

“Mogu....... It seems to be a little burnt, but the tastes is not bad" Old man

“Uncle, you don’t have to force yourself separately? I will......" Craft

“I'm not forcing myself. My stomach is hungry so I′m eating" Old man

Without hesitation, he continues to eat again. This time he pinches the boiled fish and throws it into his mouth.

“Wow, this boiled fish is a gem. The taste is wonderful, you really can fully savour its richness...... Surely, your wife would have made this bento with a considerable amount of affection” Old man

“......Thank you, old man” Craft

My wife......only Musashi was praised, but I become happy. It's been a long time since I've been praised for my own tens of times.

“What do you say youngster, I'm the one who needs to say thank you" Old man

“Well, that's true......No, if you’re going to say thank you then you should say it to my wife” Craft

It was Musashi who made this box lunch after all. Let's introduce her later.

“To your wife? Well, I'll praise her obediently......since when?" Old man

“Hmm? Since when?" Craft

“Nothing. Moreover, if you don't eat it, I will eat everything alone" Old man

“Wait a second! Originally, my wife made this bento for me!" Craft

I too, reach for the contents of my lunch box, hoping that it isn't monopolized by this old man. Oh, and she made my favorite meat roll!

“Youngster! It's bad manners to eat with your bare hands" Old man

“It can’t be helped! I am not used to chopsticks!" Craft

“Kaa! You vulnerable person! There you’ll get it right!" Old man

That old man and I sit on the table made from the stump. As we dig in, we occasionally have some arguments, making the meal tastier.

“Ah, you're my father now! You're taking care of me!" Craft

“Shut up, youngster! You don't know what courtesy is!" Old man

Good grief. My first honeymoon meal was eaten with a stranger. I‘m sorry if I have to about whine this afterwards. To my beloved wives, when will you notice your husband's disappearance?
