“From here on out, this is my territory! If you step in even one step, I’ll kill you, nya!”
……A black kitten is speaking human language and threatening me like crazy.
Seriously, what’s with encountering a Demon Beast on the very first step?
Moreover, its appearance is exactly the same as Caspary, but… haha, no way.
“Alexandra-dono, what shall we do?”
“The Demon Beast Caspary is said to have the form of a very large lion. Besides, even though it’s a Demon Beast, I hesitate to lay hands on such a small cat.”
Alexandra stares intently at the kitten Demon Beast, her Sapphire Eyes sparkling as much as possible.
She seems to like it very much, and it feels like she wouldn’t mind taking it home.
“That won’t do. Even if it’s a kitten, it’s still a Demon Beast. It’s clear that if it grows up, it will harm the Chevalier family.”
Monica scolds with unusual seriousness.
Because of how she usually is, it feels really strange when she says something serious… but, she’s been glancing at the kitten Demon Beast since a while ago, so it seems like Monica can’t help but want to play with it too.
“Muu… Monica is stubborn.”
“Young Lady, please restrain yourself a little more.”
Alexandra pouts, but she can’t go against Monica, so she seems to have reluctantly given up.
But, even Monica is biting her lip and enduring it. If I give her a push, she’ll take it home like there’s no tomorrow, and blame everything on me if something happens.
“Y-You! I’m strong, nya! I’m scary, nya! Be more afraid, nya!”
The kitten Demon Beast waves its forelegs around, desperately trying to appeal. Every time it does something, it captures Alexandra’s heart and won’t let go, which makes me a little jealous.
“Haa…”
“Wawa!? Wh-What are you doing, nya!”
I picked up the kitten Demon Beast, brought it close to my face, and.
“I’m asking just to be sure… are you Caspary?”
I tried asking that.
“Prince Harold. It’s such an adorable kitten, you know? I don’t think that’s possible.”
“That’s right. As the Young Lady said earlier, the legendary Caspary is a large Demon Beast in the form of a lion. Not like this kitten…”
“Hmph… you saw through me, nya.”
“「っ！？」”
The kitten, or rather, Caspary, confirms it, sounding somewhat embarrassed.
The two of them seem unable to believe it, their eyes wide open.
It’s certainly small, but its appearance is definitely Caspary… I didn’t want to believe it either.
But, the gap between this and ‘EnHaza’ makes me want to hold my head in my hands, wondering what to do.
Because, you know… to get the ‘Jet-Black Shield Caspary’, I have to defeat this kitten, and if I do that, I’ll definitely be resented by the two of them. I’m in a dead end.
“But, why are you so small? Even if the lion form was a lie, shouldn’t you be a large cat Demon Beast originally?”
“Nyan Nya… What do you know about me, nya! The real Caspary is much cooler and super strong, nya! …B-But…”
After speaking in a fit of pique, Caspary grimaces and looks down.
From the way it speaks, it seems like something is going on.
“That’s beside the point, do you know about the ‘Jet-Black Shield Caspary’?”
“That’s mean, nya! I’m so depressed, and you’re saying ‘that’s beside the point’, nya!”
Caspary complains a lot, but what’s beside the point is beside the point.
What’s important to me is that even if the ‘EnHaza’ main story starts, I’ll still be engaged to Alexandra, and even if I get caught up in it, I’ll protect myself and her… and Monica, just in case. Anyway, to protect my Precious Thing. I don’t have time to worry about a Demon Beast’s problems… or so.
“Prince Harold. What you just said, ‘Jet-Black Shield Caspary’, is that…?”
“Ah…”
Th-That’s right, I talked about defeating Caspary, but I hadn’t explained the important ‘Jet-Black Shield Caspary’.
“W-Well… actually…”
While watching Alexandra’s expression, I explained about the ‘Jet-Black Shield Caspary’.
That if you defeat the Demon Beast Caspary, there’s a possibility of obtaining that weapon.
Of course, I lied, saying ‘such a legend is written in the documents in the Royal Palace’.
But.
“…Do we really have to do such a cruel thing?”
“That’s right. I don’t remember raising my master, the Prince, to be such a cold person.”
I’ve been completely shunned by the two of them. Also, I don’t remember being raised by Monica.
But, I’ll be in big trouble without that. What should I do?
While I was racking my brains.
“…If you listen to what I say, I might tell you about the ‘Jet-Black Shield Caspary’, nya.”
This guy… for a kitten, it’s making a really bad face.
