-This is weird...-

I don't understand how it came to this but right now Diond is sitting in front of me wagging his tail. If it wasn't weird enough for a werewolf to be acting like a good boy, Noemi has been holding onto my neck ever since we met again...

«Don't you dare.» (Me)

«W-What do you mean!?» (Daisy)

Daisy hurries and hides her knife...

-Aren't the followers of god supposed to be forbidden to have any kinds of sharp weapons?-

«RIVAL!» (Diond)

I notice that the rest of the group is arriving now so I ignore Diond. He really is a pain...

«Everyone gather here! I present to you Ala... wait a second.» (Me)

-I almost forgot Alais is like this... Everyone here is fr... have very, very strong "personality".-

I jump on top of one of the monsters. Everyone is absolutely shocked that the monster let me do so. I jump behind one a few rows behind in the mass of monsters and pick up the gorgeous elf that was hidden in there and drop her in front of everyone.

«I TRUSTED YOU!» (Alais)

She starts retreating in panic.

«These are our allies. Everyone, this is Alais. She has problems with other people so be REALLY kind to her.» (Me)

I smile demonically as I say "really". I believe everyone understands why.

«Are you sure? There are humans in there...» (Alais)

«Yes. I'm sure.» (Me)

Alais gets up, shaking, and hides her face behind her bow.

(Me)

(Kit)

I look at my pet fox. He looks at me.

(Kit)

(Me)

As I look back at the group Alais is back on her knees.

-I guess it's just way too much interaction for her.-

«You have three days. After that, we'll be heading back south. There are four members left for our group.» (Me)

«How south will we go?» (Laura)

«Why do you ask?» (Me)

«Because there's a war happening?» (Laura)

«Well, that's exactly our objective!» (Me)

Everyone freezes in place.

«Can I ask why?» (Noemi)

It was Noemi who broke the silence.

«By then, our group will be complete and we'll be able to easily complete our first objective.» (Me)

«Don't tell me...» (Noemi)

«Defeating the demon king and taking his throne!» (Me)

Everyone blows winds of relief.

«For a moment I thought you were about to say world domination...» (Laura)

«That? That's the next objective!» (Me)

Everyone freezes again in shock.

«Can't you just be like a normal anime character that won't fuck up everything?!» (Noemi)

«Your loli words against my neck mean nothing!» (Me)

I start laughing like a maniac. I might have taken this joke too far.

The weirdest thing is that Noemi is just looking at me with surprise written all over her face.

«Did you just say "loli"?» (Noemi)

I look at her who is slowly lighting up like a morning sun. Unfortunately, that was a sun that wouldn't last. I have no idea what that is. It just came out of my mouth from I don't know where.

I don't know what to do...
