With the sun that was sinking in the west at her back, the one that rushed over to him while shouting was Shera.
Making a face that said ‘Naturally’, Diablo nodded.
「They were weaker than I thought.」
「That sparkly light, it was amazing. The Demonic Beings, they went *pya～* and vanished!」
「If it is something that is needed, I am able to do that much. It was just that up until now, the replenishment was delayed.」
In Diablo’s treasury, he had a countless stock of potion types.
The things that he created as practice in order to increase the level of his Sub Class 《Compounder》 mostly remained.
For the meantime, it was probably unnecessary for him to worry about running out of stock.
「So that’s how it wasー, that’s amazing! So cool!」
Shera clung onto Diablo’s arm.
*Munyun* Her soft bulges pressed onto him.
He was seized with an impulse of wanting to touch them with his hands.
However, something like following his carnal desires and thoroughly rubbing a young lady’s chest, that was not something that was allowed. It was also for the sake of maintaining their current relationship──
Shedding tears of blood in his mind, he endured it while creaking his heart. Rather, if they were right in front of his eyes, he wouldn’t have suffered this kind of hunger.
Having no way of knowing of that Diablo’s hardships, together with words of praise, Shera continued to press her plump breasts up against him as if it weren’t enough already.
Celebrating victory──She didn’t have that kind of atmosphere. Her face was pale.
「Please hurry, over this way!」
With Rem’s guidance, Diablo’s group arrived at the edge of the battlefront.
In a place that seemed to have nothing──
A single young lady was loitering there.
She did not move.
She neither smiled, nor looked this way.
Rem’s voice trembled.
「……Ro, Rose……She doesn’t respond at all……She doesn’t have any injuries……And she doesn’t move.」
「No way!? I mean, it looked like she had an easy victory, you know!? She was totally composed, you know!?」
Shera raised a voice that sounded like she was going to cry.
Diablo approached Rose who ended up looking like she had truly become a doll.
「What has happened, Rose?」
Would she, no longer, look at him and smile?
Why, did she end up like this?
Was it a mistake to take her out of the dungeon?
『Ｐ! Master confirmed in the effective range──Releasing Sleep Mode──Current charge amount, 15%.』
Rose, who had hardened up like a mannequin, incessantly blinked.
She smiled sweetly.
「Oh my, thank you very much for your hard work, Master.」
「Wha……? Rose, just now, you were……What had happened to you?」
「Since it seemed that this Rose was going to run out of magical power, I went into Magical Power Conservation Mode. If I am not either in Master’s base or near Master, I cannot recover magical power. No, there is a much quicker means of recovery but……」
「I had thought that you were taken down by the Demon King’s Army.」
「Fufufu……This Rose is Master’s Magimatic. Something like falling behind small fry such as those, that is impossible. Merely, it is a fact that Battle Mode’s magical power consumption was much larger than hypothesized.」
「Be sure to not make me worry too much.」
「I am terribly sorry. To think that I would make Master worry about me. But, the fact that I was able to receive Master’s concern, this Rose’s internal circuits are overheating, and I am feeling so happy that it feels as though they will burn out.」
With her cheeks flushed, she said that.
She was a hopeless machine.
「It was not only me……Both Rem and Shera were worried about you.」
「About, this Rose?」
She turned a curious-looking gaze at them.
Rem wiped the corner of her eye.
「……Thank goodness. So it was nothing.」
「Waーn, Rose-san, I thought that you died!」
Shera tried to hug her, but Rose pushed her away with one hand.
「What is it? The ones allowed to touch this Rose, is only Master, you know? I have not fallen so low as to be worried about by you all.」
Rem smiled and nodded.
「……That’s true. I’m relieved to hear that you’re in your usual condition.」
「Uuuuー」
Shera did not know what to do with her feeling of wanting to hug her, so for some reason, she came to Diablo’s side. Once again, she pressed her bulges against him.
That in itself stirred Rose’s jealousy though……
Diablo shrugged his shoulders, and told them that they were returning to Zircon Tower City.
──Well, thank goodness.
Diablo secretly breathed a sigh of relief at the fact that the three who went to the frontlines were safe.
