Shadow Ruler

Chapter 2.3

Bird-san came over in a panic.

I was sitting on the floor with my head down, but he and Cat-san, who were also worried about me, so I patted them down and told them that I was fine because I escaped from the dogs attack.

Sorry I was so caught up in defeating the enemy that I was forced to distance myself from Master I realized it was too late Im really sorry.

Nyah

I continued patting them with the feeling that they had done their best, and it wasnt their fault.

I want to give them a hug, but Im not strong enough for that, so Ill give them a hug later, okay?

Are you guys okay?

A grown man.

He has bright red hair and looks very big and strong, but he has a kind face.

(Nod)

I see Im glad we made it in time

It was a coincidence this time, you know? I just happened to sense it.

big sister, with blue hair down to her shoulders, told me that she had found out about the fight between Bird-san and Cat-san by accident and then rushed over to help me.

She was cheerful.

Are you sure youre okay? Were you so scared you couldnt speak?

Said the big brother, with his brown hair tousled.

Of course, shes so young, after all. Even a low-level adventurer would be in trouble if surrounded by that many dogs, right? Its usually a medium level for just one party to deal with them.

Were just barely managing

The one who worried about me the most was the big sister, with her cream-colored hair that reached to the middle of her back.

By the way I know its a little late for this, but did Crow-san over there, spoke?

Yes, I can talk.

He really did talk! It wasnt just my imagination!

And Thank you so much for your help. You saved me from killing Master.New n𝙤vel chapters are published on

Nyah.

Master, you mean you guys are her contracted beasts?

Whats a contracted beast?

Eh?  A contracted beast is a demon beast that has made a contract with a master to obey the master.

Oh, so how do you make a contract with a contracted beast? Were only there for the Master, we dont have any kind of contract with her.

Nyah nyah.

Cat-san nodded in agreement.

What? Voluntary?

Well, yes. I mean, does this little girl look like she can make a contract or something? Shes a little girl.

Oh, uh Yeah. Okay, let me introduce myself, okay? Im Lily, and from that side, Dan, Zell, and Anne.

Lily is the one with blue hair who beat the surrounding dogs with water.

Big brother with red hair is Mr. Dan

The big brother with brown hair is Zell.

The big sister with cream-colored hair is Anne.

So, who are you guys?

(?)

Hmm?

(???)

Nn~?

What do they want me to say?

I was tilting my head, and Lily-san tilted her head with me.

I was staring at her for a while, tilting my head.

Oh my god! Shes so cute!

She suddenly hugged me tightly.

In addition, my face was buried in her boobs, which seemed to be reasonably large, and it was hard to breathe.

I heard that men like this, but enjoying it while risking their lives? What an amazing thing for a man to do.

Hey! Dont hold her so tight! Master is too weak! Youll break her bones! She will die!

Bird-san snapped in a panic.

Sorry, sorry but you sure are thin I mean, isnt she too thin?

Thats what Im saying

So, what are your names?

(Shakes sideways)

Eh?

None?

They all say, Eh?

Me and the cat with the long tail on that side dont have names, and Master doesnt have a name either.

What? Thats weird, isnt it?

Its not weird. After all, her own parent didnt name her.

A scary aura (I heard its called murderous atmosphere) leaked out from Bird-san.

I wont tell anyone Can you tell me whats going on with you guys? This girl is too thin and the amount of injuries These are abuse marks, right? And these clothes Its not like shes from the slums or anything, right? You guys are way too organized for that.

Yeah, well swear not to tell anyone else, too.

Of course we will.

Hai

What about Master?

Bird-san asked, and I patted him on the head, leaving it to him.

Alright.

Then Bird-san spoke.

I didnt know the name of the town or my fathers name at all, but they went into great detail about my day-to-day life so far, from being the daughter of a lord, to my great escape.

Cat-San also had a lot of supplementary information on her tail.

Hmmm, that Thats ridiculous

Ah, thats not normal.

You had a difficult delivery, and you werent very strong, were you? Your mother

Ah.

How can that be the fault of the child that was born! And you cant put a false accusation on this child, and still have it be for your own personal gain!

I think its going to be okay for now, you know?

Does Bird-san have any idea about whats going on?
