Outside.

“Goodness… Quite a change in demeanor from when she left, isn’t it?”

“Well, that’s how it goes.”

Disappointed… Yes, it was disappointment!

Upon being approached by a colleague, Mia shouted inwardly with such strength, then sank deeply into the expensive and plush sofa.

“You said you wanted to meet the commander so much and then left… Was he really that unattractive?”

“No, not at all. He’’s… pretty normal. Maybe even handsome?”

“Oh, really? Then was it his personality?”

“Not at all. He’s the type who would sacrifice himself for his comrades without hesitation. But he’s also the type to give orders to resist any despair that might arise… probably. Most people would end up trusting him.”

“Then what’s the problem?”

“Everything. Absolutely everything… He just wasn’t the commander I was looking for.”

Mia’s words left her colleague puzzled.

Well, when you come back looking so utterly disappointed after leaving all excited, it’s understandable that your colleagues would be curious.

But… for Mia, he really wasn’t the commander she had been seeking.

(My commander isn’t him… He’s not the one I vowed to stay by until death do us part.)

Sitting with her feet pulled close, Mia curled up.

“You know, it’s really rare. The top of the Disciplinary Corps in this city appearing like this.”

“Well, you see, I’m certainly the top, and I might be a bit stronger than usual? But more than that, I’m just a girl.”

“It’s a bad joke to say you’re just a bit stronger than usual. There’s no one in this world who can surpass you, at least not in this city.”

That’s true, but still, Mia laughed.

Mia is the pride of the country as their top combat force, and her colleague, of course, is a girl who enjoys great trust from both her subordinates and the people.

But… as evident from this situation, those things don’t matter to her.

All that’s in her head is her commander, whose whereabouts she doesn’t know, despite feeling a strong connection.

(Hey, Commander… Where are you? Didn’t we promise to be together forever? You’ve given me rings as gifts many times, right?)

※ It was the most efficient gift for raising trust.

(Most of the time, you set me as your home screen, right?)

※ Because I was your favorite character.

(No matter where we were or what enemies we faced, you always made sure to include me, right?)

※ Because I was highly effective, highly durable, just simply the strongest.

(Despite loving you so much…)

※ Mia was heavy on love due to the story’s constraints.

“So far, I haven’t met anyone else who remembers their commander like me, but I wonder… Could someone have sneaked in and taken my place?”

“Hey, what are you mumbling about all of a sudden?”

“Oh, it’s nothing~♪”

When will Mia and the commander… when will they meet?

***

“Hey, Tana-chan.”

“What is it?”

“I know we’ve got nothing to do, but… it’s pretty boring, isn’t it?”

“Yeah, it is. But then again, until I met you, it was like I was just sleeping here all the time.”

With Thanatos together, I just looked up while taking a nap.

Without any particular goal, without wanting to do anything… and yet, it was clear that if we went outside, we would see plenty of unjust scenes.

　It would be an exaggeration to say that it is the number one land with a relatively good environment and is easy to live in, but if you criticize even such a representative country, bad things will come out.

“That village we met yesterday, Tana-chan… Things like that happen frequently in this world. Kingdoms are symbols of corruption through power… Really, this world is falling apart.”

“Poverty and discrimination have become the norm. The simple trick to survival is whether you’re strong enough… It’s very straightforward, but it must be tough for the Commander.”

Thanatos’s words were not directed at Minato as a commander, but rather as words from a different world than the peaceful world Minato had lived in.

“Tana-chan… I don’t know if you’re aware of it, but you’re really kind.”

“It’s because of you, Master. You make me kind.”

I was deeply moved by the maternal aspect of this dragon.

“Really, this world is rotten.”

“That’s old news. But Master still likes it here, right? Even in such a world.”

“Well, yeah… But it might be a bit dicey right now.”

“Heh, it probably is.”

It’s not a laughing matter, I thought, pursing my lips.

Although this world hasn’t particularly advanced in technology and is essentially a world where you just fight with swords and magic… well, even in such a world, there is still the terror of it being somewhat developed.

Communication devices have been developed, and there are even some tactical weapons.

However, we haven’t reached the remote villages… It’s a world where, to put it bluntly, there are quite a few places that have been abandoned.

Many people are pained by this fact, but still, it’s a world where they can only protect what’s within their reach.

“The upheaval in the capital, the disappearance of the Saintess, the assassination of the Pope, the invasion of the demi-human race, the spread of disease, the kidnapping of the Commander… Just recalling them is too many events, don’t you think?”

“Hmm… I don’t have memories of that time, but I’ve heard from Mia that the Master was kidnapped.”

“Yeah… That was when Mia and Yuzuriha went berserk, and the country almost disappeared.”

“Speaking of which, aren’t those women more of a disaster?”

“Yeah, they might be… especially Yuzuriha.”

I laughed at the thought.

“Yuzuriha… I wonder what that fox lady is up to.”

“At this time, she’s probably in a period of accumulating hatred toward humans who discriminate against the demi-human race. Yuzuriha did some pretty ruthless things herself.”

As usual, Yuzuriha was special to Minato.

Like Mia and Thanatos, she was a nine-tailed fox who had raised her trust to 100—a character who ranks among the top three of the demi-human race, and in the story, she’s a boss you can’t beat on your first try, as she spreads status abnormalities.

“Thinking about it like this, there seem to be quite a few people who have earned the Master’s trust.”

“Well, if you include yourself, Tana-chan, it’s five people. Anything more than that, and we’ll need more bills.”

“Bills?”

“It’s a different story here.”

I wasn’t a billionaire, so I couldn’t become a superhuman who could shower love on all the characters on social media.

“If you were to meet all the people you commanded, it would be a huge number. Would you like to meet the remaining four or so people you’ve built trust with?”

“If you ask me if I want to, of course I do. It would be nothing but happiness to see everyone up close whom I could only see through the terminal… But I’ve said it before, right? I’m not the Commander… Meeting them in this world is the job of the Commander of this world.”

“You’re really stubborn about that. Perhaps, including Mia, there might be memories of you with them, like with me.”

“That’s…”

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if that were the case? But Minato wonders if that’s truly the right thing.

After all, isn’t it true?

While Thanatos may not have much involvement in the story, the other characters have significant connections… Involvement with them helps the commander grow and shapes the future of those around them.

Minato is not the commander… That role has been passed on to the commander of this world.

Minato is not the protagonist… He’s not the protagonist anymore.

“However… it’s not a good idea to just sit around in this castle.”

“Yeah, you’re right. I want to travel with you… This world is certainly full of terrible things, and creatures often die. But there are also beautiful places. And as long as I’m here, you won’t be hurt.”

“Right…”

Indeed, Minato nodded.

If he can’t return to his original world anymore, Minato will live in this world until his life is over.

As long as he isn’t killed or dies suddenly from illness, he will spend a vast amount of time from now on… It would be a waste to spend all that time in this unchanging place!

“Yeah, that’s right… Indeed, thanks to Thanatos, we can safely look outside. Since it’s a different world, it’s not a bad idea.”

“Yeah, well, this place won’t change as our base.”

“Yeah… This is where we come back to, our hideout.”

Thanks to Thanatos, Minato’s heart regained its brightness.

Well, he wasn’t that depressed thanks to her, but still, he was able to stand up because Thanatos was there.

However, Minato voiced a question.

“But… even though you said that, wouldn’t it be difficult to take you outside, Tana-chan?”

“Oh, there’s no need to worry about that. As long as I don’t go outside in this form, it’s fine.”

“Huh…? Could it be that you can turn into a human?”

“Unfortunately, that’s impossible. So, let me do this.”

Thanatos’s body was enveloped in light… And the next moment, she had shrunk to the size of Minato’s palm.

“S-Small…”
