To Gollen Village, I returned.

And I was going to push Toy to Haku, but

Then, Kehma, Ill leave Toy in your care.

Eh? Why me? I dont wanna.

you want me to keep this kind of dangerous material in the heart of my country?

Shes right.

When we had a tea party-style report & consultation at Hakus detached palace, it was decided that Toy would come under my care.

But her freedom will be restricted. In the first place, I already uncomfortable with placing her by Rokuko-chans side, so at least, Kehma needs to take her reins should there be an emergency situation.

She brought up the fact that I can transform into Leona with [Super Transformation] and put Toy in control in emergencies. It cant be helped. Youre certainly right. Well, I cant guarantee that Ill be able to use [Super Transformation] into Leona without any problems in the future.

in the middle of the discussion, Rokuko, who was still sitting on Haku-sans lap, said, Oh, thats good, we already have Niku, and Im sure shell get along!

She was probably thinking, I already had one dog. Adding one more wont pose me a problem. Or something like that.

Im home!

Ah, its been a long time since Ive been home.

Oh, welcome back, Master, and Rokuko. But when did you leave?

We use [White Beach] to get back quickly. And the one who welcomed us back in the village chiefs residences was Silkies er, because her hair ornaments are red, was it, Nicole?

Oh, that, Niku-senpai? Hmm? Whats with that outfit? She seems different?

Oh. I cant believe that even this child can see through me its hard to impersonate someone youve never seen before, isnt it, Kehma-sama?

Uh, what?

Toy talks to me, half ignoring Nicoles confusion.

That said, lets get straight to Kehmas room; the meat puppets of Kehma and me are still sleeping in it, right?

ack, youre right.

Rokuko urged me to head to my room at the village chiefs residence. Inside the room, Rokuko and I were sleeping in one bed, in close proximity to each other. And by the way, Gonta the Frost Lizard was laying down on my head.

She is supposed to be your escort, but she was left behind.

I know this since I can read the magic circle, it was clear that only me and Rokuko were targeted. Isnt that right, Toy?

Yes, In that room there was a lot of ineffective string of magic formula that Leona-sama wrote, originally she only wants to call Kehma-sama and Rokuko-sama, so perhaps Kehmas assumption was right.

Gonta alternately looks at me and me (the meat doll) with her blue tongue out.

As expected, Leona didnt know about Gontas existence, which I had just summoned recently, so it appears that she wasnt included in the designated target hmm? But then I remember her perfect timing to summon us. It was when me and Rokuko in the middle of having a good time together. Is it just a coincidence? Well, its doesnt matter now.

Oh, Gonta. Come here. Thats a fake Leona made.

I called for Gonta while holding a cup of ice cream in one hand, and she quickly climbed up my body and reached for the ice cream. Shes gulping it down happily. Lizards is a cute creature when you get used to it.

Kehma-sama, can I have some food too?

Kehma, I want some ice cream too.

Well have to do something about this meat puppet first.

Rocco poke me (the meat puppet) in the face.

Its such a waste to throw away this high-quality product, cant we keep it?

You cant. We dont know if theres any strange trap inside.

Cant you do something with the Kehmas [Gods Alarm]? Come on, Ill give Kehma my meat puppet..

uh, yeah, I could actually do something about this.

Hey, Toy, is this some kind of a trap? Can you do anything about this?

Yes, Rokuko-sama, please wait a minute.

Toys eyes are glowing red, and she touches the meat puppets with her palm. Its probably a magic vision skill.

there is no particular hidden mechanism in this. The needed nutrients are already stored inside their body, so theres no need for excretion, but if you give it a strong stimulus, then it will respond accordingly.

That what she said, Kehma, please? Can we keep it?

You know that thing was created by Leona, right? If we dont get rid of it now, it will give us some trouble later.

Lets say I believe in Toy analysis, it doesnt mean that Leona wouldnt be able to set a trap that can bypass Toy perceptions, as long as there is a possibility, it is reasonable to dispose of it. Thats Hakus advice to me.

Lets immediately contact Dolce-san and have her collect it.

Dont need to do that Im already here

Oh, Dolce, you are here.

Thats right, Rokuko-sama. I received a call from Haku-sama a while ago. Ehm, let me collect it then I am sooo angry right now. these eyes of mine couldnt even see through this fake

Dolce-san, who suddenly entered the room before I realized, smoothly put away the meat puppet in [Storage] and went out through the wall Well, She is Wraith, after all.

aaaaah, she took it away.

Rokuko sits on the bed where the meat doll had been sleeping and looks at the wall where Dolce disappeared with regret. Well, I couldnt help but think that Rokukos meat puppet was a bit of a waste too, but its not good to feel attached here. Yeah, its not good in many ways.

Oh? Kehma-sama You look like you about to cry because your mother finally found your ero manga secret stash and dispose it? Yes, I understand. I understand. Ill be the one to comfort you tonight, okay?

No, thank you.

Hmmm ah~ thats right! Rokuko -sama, Rokuko-sama, please comfort Kehma soul tonights.

What? What is that?

Eh, was it too hard for you to understand? I mean, Rokuko-sama need to use her body to

Thats not important, Rokuko, lets decide what to do with Toy. As for me, I think it would be wise if we leave her to Ichika and someone else for now.

I hurriedly interrupt Toys words and talk to Rokuko about what to do with her.

Yeah, I think thats fine with me too. Lets add it to our schedule.

All right, well, I just need to explain the situation to

Master! You woke up.

Then Niku came in with her usual expressionless poker face while wagging her tail. Or rather, in her eyes, we have only been sleeping this whole time I need to explain this properly.

Then Niku looks into the room. She meets Toys eyes and then staring at her.

.who is this dog?

Oooh, so, this is the failure that Kehma-sama loves? Fuh.

Her tail looks angry but this is a reunion scene between long lost sisters, right?

As if that could be true.
