"really?"

Tamamonoma took a few steps forward until she was almost leaning over.

"Master, you are not lying to me, are you?"

"of course not."

"Migu~"

Tamamonomae buried her head in his arms, and instantly looked like a little wife.

"I never want to leave my Master again."

"So it doesn't matter how many wives the Master has... as long as they can be by the Master's side."

"..."

Hearing these words that were so straightforward without even a hint of veil, Ian's heart naturally surged.

And Shuten-doji also said at this time:

"Uncle...don't cover up the truth just because you're worried we won't be able to accept it."

"We just look small, but mentally, we are definitely not as weak as you think!"

"I think so too."

Ibaraki Douji had come to Ian's feet at some point and grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"Master, we...are the swords you can wield."

"..."

Ian bent down and picked up Ibaraki Douji, allowing her to sit on his shoulders.

"Izuki, you're absolutely right."

"You...are all people I can trust, so...please trust me too."

Ibaraki Douji blinked, seemingly not understanding what Ian said, but her next action completely denied this statement.

After Ibaraki Douji had done that to Ian, he raised his head again and kissed him in front of everyone else present.

After a simple yet slightly passionate kiss.

Ibaraki Douji just stared at Ian blankly, as if time had stopped at that moment.

But the violent little loli's lips did not stop.

"Master, I absolutely believe in you," she said.

"Eh--!"

"Ibaraki, why are you like this!" Shuten-doji suddenly became anxious, "Aren't you sneaking away?!"

"There is no such thing as sneaking away or not sneaking away."

Ibaraki Douji looked at Shuten Douji on the other side.

"Shuten, if you're not convinced, you can do the same thing with me."

"but……"

Ibaraki Douji raised his eyebrows.

"Do you really have the courage?"

"you!"

He might have been a little shy at first, but after hearing this, Shuten-doji's competitive spirit instantly rose.

"I'm the renowned Ghost King of Mount Dajiang—how could I possibly not dare to do something like this?"

"Don't underestimate us!"

"But you clearly didn't do anything." Ibaraki Douji, as usual calmly, complained about Shuten Douji, "Shuten... is still the same."

“I can’t stand it anymore!”

"We have to prove ourselves!"

After saying this, Shuten-douji, with a blushing face, kissed Ian directly in front of Ibaraki-douji's gaze.

and--

As if to prove that he was the Demon King of Oeyama, and not the Second Demon King of Oeyama, Shuten-doji intentionally left two kiss marks on Ian's face.

That's right.

You just have to have one more skill than Ibaraki Douji!

"Humph! I'm not a pushover! I—! am the Ghost King of Mount Oe!"

"Izuki, remember this clearly!"

"It's just that I didn't compete with you..." Ibaraki Douji said blankly, but her tone was more determined than ever before, as if it was her last persistence.

"Shuten, don't go too far."

"Ibaraki, come and fight!"

"Just hit us!"

"..."

Looking at the scene where Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji seemed to be fighting, Tamamonomae covered her lips and laughed softly.

The fox demon's tail swayed from side to side, looking like an ear of wheat in autumn.

"..."

As Meili watched this scene, she unknowingly came to Tamamonomae's side and asked softly:

"Speaking of which-"

"Don't you intend to stop this situation?"

"Stop...?" Tamamonomae looked at Meili who was approaching. "I... don't quite understand what you mean."

"that is--"

"This is clearly the time to start a conflict."

Meli's eyes drifted back and forth between Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji who were tearing each other's cheeks, as if she was trying to confirm who would be the final winner.

"Aren't you afraid... that these two will start a war that will destroy all of Chaldea?"

"Migu~"

"That's impossible."

Tamamonomae shook her fingers, appearing relaxed.

"Shuten and Ibaraki, even if they really fight, they will never destroy Chaldea."

"I can guarantee this kind of thing."

"Why can you guarantee that?"

Meili asked without hesitation.

"You're not them, are you? Why do you have such assurance? It's like... you already knew each other were like this?"

"..."

Now it was Tamamonomae's turn to look puzzled.

"If I remember correctly, your name should be Meili, right?"

"Yes." The Flower Magician nodded, "That is indeed my name."

"That……"

Tamamonomae smiled slightly.

"You may not know what Chaldea means to me and them."

"A temporary place to stay?"

Mary replied.

Although her facial expression did not change at all, her tone gradually became more serious, which made people know that she was thinking about this problem very hard.

"Besides this, is there any other meaning?"

"..."

Tamamonomae's expression also became much more complicated from the smile just now.

She looked at Mary in front of her and shook her head.

"Do not."

"Settling down is just a relatively unimportant assumption."

"What truly matters, the meaning of belonging to Chaldea—is for me and them to stay with the Master forever."

"If it were you..."

"Can you really bear to destroy this place where everyone can come together again?"

"..."

Merry blinked as she listened to Tamamonomae's words.

The expression on her face didn't change much, but the movements of her hands became much different from before.

That is--

His movements were much gentler than before, and he no longer looked worried about the "war" between Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji.

"I see."

"Chaldea...where everyone gathers, right?"

"Anyone, okay?"

"..."

Tamamonomae was silent for a long time before continuing.

"I don't know why you said that, but..."

"If you really came to Chaldea because of the Master, then no matter what the past was like, it doesn't matter."

"Because, your coming here means that the Master is willing to accept everything about you and is willing to face the future with you."

"Concubine..."

Tamamonomae's expression became happy.

Even if it wasn't her sitting on Ian's shoulder at the moment, it would still be enough to make him intoxicated.

“That’s how I believe it.”

"..."

Mary stretched out her fingers and gently flicked the corners of her mouth. This action naturally looked a little funny.

"What are you doing..."

Tamamonomae asked with some confusion.

"Why do you torture yourself like this?"

"..."

"because--"

Mary put her fingers on her lips and put on a rather strange smile that seemed to suit her perfectly.

"I also want to smile like you, a smile that looks so happy."

"..."

Tamamonomae was stunned for a moment, and then quickly showed an expression of understanding.

Her fox tail, which had just stopped moving, began to shake again.
