Same Sex Only

“I don’t know the real meaning of being a man or a woman.” (Kiel)

She had always thought that she was a man, so now she’s really confused.

Right?

“The reason they separate men and women, is it because they mate?” (Firo)

Firo? Why are you butting in?

Kiel was confused with Firo’s answer.

Read the situation… with a sweet sound reverberating in the air, Firo just defined what it means to be a man or a woman.

How straightforward, it looks like she understood most of what Firo was saying.

I look in Raphtalia's direction and shook my head.

As for Rishia? She looked at their direction and shouted-.

“It’s different!” (Rishia)

“Why do you know so much? Bird!” (Naofumi)

“Come on! Firo knew from the start.” (Firo)

Is it genetic memory?

No, No… Maybe something happened with a Male Philorial that she happened to meet in the forest.

“That certainly is suspicious.” (Naofumi)

Firo shouted to complain about what I said.

When you think about it, Firo lays eggs.

“Booo!!” (Firo)

This has become really annoying.

Everyone's faces, including Raphtalia's, have turned red.

Young man... it’s as if they’ve just emerged from the sea. Is everyone alright?

“I don’t like it! … I can’t do such a thing… I will never do such a thing with Shield-niichan!” (Kiel)

“Why would I do such a thing?” (Naofumi)

I want them to stop saying things like I’m raising them because of my ulterior motives.

Damn. This is frustrating.

This topic of love-affairs is really getting on my nerves.

I want Bitch to get captured soon to be punished and receive Divine Retribution.

“Stop already with this stupid topic.. at least for the time being, love is prohibited.” (Naofumi)

“EH?!” (Children)

The slaves were protesting.

Whatever you say is useless.

This is to fight the oncoming Wave, not the declining birth-rate.

I’m not here to take care of all of you, there’s simply no room for baggage.

“Don’t think about such trivial things, do that when the world is already at peace.” (Naofumi)

“I don’t get it.”

“Why? Why is such a thing decided? Because I don’t like it. Look, Raphtalia doesn’t like it either.” (Naofumi)

“Raphtalia?” (Naofumi)

“EH?!” (Raphtalia)

For some reason, I directed my voice to Raphtalia.

Ah!... I was trying to change the topic. Seems like Raphtalia understood.

“Our purpose is to fight the Wave. 3 ½ months from now, I will take those who wish to fight the Wave with us. Of course, I will not force you if you don’t want to.” (Naofumi)

“EH?! That Wave?” (Child)

“Right. I was summoned here to fight the Wave that took the lives of your family. So tell me if you want to fight.” (Naofumi)

Just 8 people. I need more people; I want to establish several groups.

A guy from the battle squad that wants to volunteer would be ideal. These guys are still unsuitable for battle.

After hearing my words, Kiel remains silent.

“Because I’m a woman, am I useless?” (Kiel)

“Ha? That’s not true, just look around me!” (Naofumi)

I’m pointing towards Raphtalia, Firo, and Rishia

“Come to think of it, why are they all woman? Unbelievable!” (Kiel)

Kiel was sharp! This is annoying.

“You... What do you want to do? Are you joining?" (Naofumi)

“What love prohibition? You just want woman to serve you!” (Kiel)

“Apart from me, Raphtalia has no problems with another man.” (Naofumi)

“EH?!” (Raphtalia)

“Yeah!” (Firo)

“See, Firo!” (Naofumi)

“She has no problem with males.” (Naofumi)

“Booo!” (Firo)

“Men and women are equal. I use whoever is efficient, so don’t be mistaken.” (Naofumi)

“I see... Shield-oniichan, I see! Two swords!” (Girl)

One of the slave girls mutters alone.

Seems like she misunderstood something.

“That’s wrong.” (Naofumi)

“What? What two swords?” (Firo)

Firo doesn’t know what I’m saying. After all, it’s just genetic memory

“That… time when I heard that, I was sold.” (Kiel)

“To explain that…. Anyways, it’s troubling that love will make you unable to fight. Therefore, love is prohibited.” (Naofumi)

The slaves were satisfied except for Kiel, who nods unwillingly.

“I see... I guess I need to give my best in fighting.” (Kiel)

“Ah! However, thinking about after the war… no, my preference may become popular, so Kiel must practice peddling.” (Naofumi)

“What is that?” (Kiel)

“Your face looks good, so I was thinking of using that. But you are timid, so I guess you’re unsuitable for peddling.” (Naofumi)

“Me? N- No way!” (Kiel)

“It’s okay. Oh! It’ll be fine; you should go look around the streets. Humans have more nasty ways of entertainment.” (Naofumi)

“Shield-niichan, the way you’re saying that is scary!” (Kiel)

Was it a strange thing to say?

Anyways, If I brought Kiel while peddling, I’m sure that I’d be able to sell a lot of accessories to the ladies.

Together with Raphtalia, men and women would line up to give their money for the accessories.

“Ah! Kiel.” (Naofumi)

“What is it?” (Kiel)

“I accept same sex relationships. So have fun with Raphtalia as much as you want.” (Naofumi)

It looked like I was jealous.

“Such a thing, do you want Raphtalia-chan to kill me?” (Kiel)

“You may unexpectedly fall and roll. Based on what I read in manga, Raphtalia is the type that is likely not to refuse.” (Naofumi)

“What is manga?” (Kiel)

“Something good. Anyways, I’d like it if Raphtalia was a little more rebellious.” (Naofumi)

Kiel began to tremble.

The look from earlier.

“Naofumi-sama?” (Raphtalia)

Oozing with blood-lust, Raphtalia approached me while smiling.

I think I might’ve touched a forbidden subject.

“It’s for that reason. Now, everyone disband and bring the seafood.” (Naofumi)

“Yes!” (children)

After a while, the Female Knight came to the beach.

“I heard you were playing at the beach, so it’s true.” (Female Knight)

“I’m just giving them a reward, these guys did their best recently.” (Naofumi)

“I think they’ve been rewarded plenty enough.” (Female Knight)

Certainly, but I also want to go to the beach and eat some seafood.

“I'll also join them in the fun.” (Female Knight)

Female Knight came to the sea with a swimsuit, and began to swim together with Raphtalia.

Despite being so shrewd, you prepared that kind of swimsuit…. What kind of country is this?

Speaking of this woman, she has a strangely good relationship with Raphtalia.

Unrelated to the previous topic, it may be a little related.

Actually, to love another person is good.

It will increase your worries, but they will be there to accompany you.

“Naofumi-sama!” (Raphtalia)

Raphtalia waves her hands.

“What happened? Were you drowning?” (Naofumi)

“I wouldn’t be speaking if I was drowning... besides that, weren't you thinking of something rude?” (Raphtalia)

How did Raphtalia find out?

Even Firo seems to have noticed.

Even in business no one should have figured anything out of this expression of mine...

“Deceiving is useless, you know?” (Raphtalia)

“Ah! Yes, yes! Isn't it nice it has become this lively.” (Naofumi)

Since this could lead to trouble, over denying it, I changed the subject.

“Shield-niichan! I caught it!” (Kiel)

You could see the joy on her face when she caught the shellfish in the net.

“Yes, yes.” (Naofumi)

The grill is already hot. It’s ready for grilling.

The food supply is already stable, so there won’t be any problems.

“Eat up; after eating, we’ll go back.” (Naofumi)

“Understood!” (All Children)

Such a feeling today again... I’m irresponsible; I want to stop cooking for them.

A little bit more time, and the monster eggs will hatch soon.

It’s past noon, and everyone is preparing to go back to the village.

I think the monster eggs are about to hatch.

Yesterday, the incubation period of the monster eggs in the contract was almost done.

So I went to the shed to check the monster eggs’ status.

“Shield-niichan. What are you doing?” (Kiel)

“Just stockpiling food supplies; also, the monster eggs are ready to hatch soon at any time.” (Naofumi)

“Wow!” (Kiel)

“The problem is… that Philorial.” (Naofumi)

That bird is really excellent at pulling carriages, but I feel anxious that there may be two monsters with really huge appetites.

“Firo?” (Firo)

Firo tilted her head curiously.

“It’s different, this egg is not a Philorial.” (Naofumi)

“Firo-chan has a younger sister or a younger brother?”

“Amazing!” (Firo)

“Wow!”

So noisy…. If you look at their appearances, they’re just like middle school students, so childlike.

No such thing?

“Categorically speaking, that is right.” (Naofumi)

“Master, would you like the newborn child to become like Firo?” (Firo)

It’s a pain to answer Firo’s question.

Well, whatever.

“I want the monster to be able to pull a carriage, but the huge appetite is unnecessary.” (Naofumi)

“Hmmmph, perhaps. Okay.” (Firo)

I faced Firo and gave such a reply.

“You’re not what Master wants; you’re probably like Firo.” (Firo)

Firo’s ahoge is moving towards the monster egg.

There’s something in there.

“Is Firo’s family born yet?” (Firo)

Family!

If you think about it, this Philorial will become a follower to the Philorial Queen.

“Well then, what will he become? Master, I hope he becomes something amazing!” (Firo)

“Will you do that?” (Naofumi)

“Yeah!” (Firo)

Firo is pouring some magic on the egg as she touches it.

“This egg will never be the same as Firo.” (Firo)

“Ah! I’m safe.” (Naofumi)

But still, there is a possibility that this newborn will end up the same as Firo.

If you consider how huge Firo became, it’ll surely become noisy. I guess there’s no helping it.

Depending on the result, we may leave the raising of the Philorial to Firo.

The eggs hatched.

“Pii!” (baby chick)

One animal was a Philorial chick. It was a slightly purple-ish kid.

Next were two caterpillars…… When these grow up, they’ll be able to pull carriages. I called them Caterpillands. I absorbed their eggshells into the shield, but there was no effect.

Next, there were three earthworms. They appear to be a type of monster called Dunes. Can I leave the soil maintenance to these guys?

I set the basic prohibitions…...

“You... you’re in charge of leveling this guy up.” (Naofumi)

“Yes!”

The children felt like they had become the parents to a pet; they were carrying it on their shoulders as they went to the carriage.

The Philorial chick went to Firo and happily sat on top of her head.

“Pyaaa!” (Philorial)

The chick is singing.

In these past few days, I was only watching if the kids were in trouble.

Me, who’s from another world, did I just become their foster parent?

If we lose during the Wave… I guess all the hard work that we invested in will all go to waste.

“Ah, after...” (Girl)

“What?” (Raptalia)

“I’ll slowly learn how to cook so that I can make food for everyone anytime. Well, mainly because I’m not good with fighting.” (Girl)

“then, I….” (Girl)

The slave girl gets down from the carriage.

“Good for you.” (Raptalia)

Certainly, the one wanting to learn how to cook was the one who requested a midnight snack from Raphtalia.

“Yeah… I really like cooking... but fighting is a little…” (Girl)

“Is that so… then do your best.” (Raptalia)

“Yeah.” (Girl)

The girl nodded and stood next to me.

“I’m going now.” (Girl)

Raphtalia waved her hands.

“Yeah, be safe!” (Raphtalia)

“Raphtalia-chan, is it alright to be that carefree?” (Kiel)

“Ha?” (Raphtalia)

While waving to the girl who wants to be a cook, she muttered-

"What are you talking about?" (Raphtalia)

“Hey?” (Kiel)

“Don’t worry.” (Raphtalia)

What’s that?

“Well then, I'm going.” (Naofumi)

“Yessir!”

The carriage made a clattering sound.

“Now, then assist me.” (Naofumi)

“Yes.” (Girl)

And thus, I taught the child how to cook.

Though, for some reason, her food was a mess.

It was soo bad that even the food the shield produced was a lot tastier.

“Shield-niichan is really good with his hands.” (Girl)

“Is that so?” (Naofumi)

“Yeah, the fish demon was really good.” (Girl)

“Is that so?” (Naofumi)

I said not to feel bad about it.

“This delicious dish was made by the power of the shield. I just imagine the taste and then cook it.” (Naofumi)

“Yeah, then Shield-niichan will teach me how to cook that dish.” (Girl)

I ended up stepping on a landmine, but I still answered with a smile.

It’s good that I smiled.

Speaking of the results, I ended up in the position where I was taught... Oh well, it’s okay.

This child really likes cooking, so I hope she becomes very good at it. She will become a big deal someday.
