<p>54.244.58.58: /* Prologue */</p> <hr /> <div>==Prologue==<br /> <br /> Have we been living at the Netherworld for around two weeks now? <br /> <br /> After being safely discharged from the hospital I was referred to by <br /> Lilith-san, I returned to my life without further issues.<br /> <br /> Once again, I’m surprised by the recent changes in my circumstances.<br /> <br /> Specifically… Getting the mysterious job of monster tamer and <br /> discovering my true identity as a halfbreed between human and monster.<br /> <br /> I miss the time when I considered myself to be a highly ordinary high <br /> school student.<br /> <br /> My ability to adapt to the changes in my circumstances I’ve gone through<br /> is the reason I managed to splendidly grow as a person.<br /> <br /> One last thing.<br /> <br /> Recently, I’ve experienced some changes I have not yet grown accustomed <br /> to.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> “… ZZZ”<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Currently, there’s a pretty girl lying besides me in her nightgown <br /> cutely snoring on my bed.<br /> <br /> Iris Scarlet Lindwurm.<br /> <br /> The red dragon girl I made a pact with just the other day who, how <br /> should I put it… Seems to be under several serious misunderstandings.<br /> <br /> To be specific, Iris seems to think that I proposed to her.<br /> <br /> Speaking of that, it’s true that I thoughtlessly put on the contract <br /> ring I received from Iris, but… In truth, it doubled as an engagement <br /> ring handed down in the red dragon bloodline.<br /> <br /> The anti-sister measure that I set up before going to bed of blocking <br /> the door should be flawless, but… As, somehow, when I open my eyes each <br /> morning Iris is sleeping besides me, I’m bothered to a very great <br /> extent.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> “… Good day. Nice morning, monster tamer.”<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Iris greeted me while rubbing her sleepy eyes.<br /> <br /> “Th-that’s right…”<br /> <br /> “Hastn’t thou awoken unusually early this day?”<br /> <br /> “… Ahaha. I couldn’t get to sleep last night.”<br /> <br /> Mostly your fault, Iris-san.<br /> <br /> I kept myself from saying that, which I felt I wanted to say.<br /> <br /> … Speaking of the obvious.<br /> <br /> It seems that my libido, when I have a girl calmly lying besides me <br /> defenselessly sleeping, doesn’t wither out.<br /> <br /> —Even if said girl is close to 30 centimeters&lt;ref&gt;Almost 1 <br /> foot.&lt;/ref&gt; shorter than me.<br /> <br /> In the end, I… As long as it’s erotic, I’m fine with it.<br /> <br /> Incredible… A male highschooler’s lust.<br /> <br /> As I was amazed by the scope of my own strike zone.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> “Chiharu. Are you awake?”<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> A ringing voice like a wind chime moved by the night breeze.<br /> <br /> Zonmi Ra McKenzie.<br /> <br /> The one who’s come to my room early in the morning is the girl from the <br /> ghoul clan that I’ve made my very first contract with.<br /> <br /> “Zonmi? ‘Morning.”<br /> <br /> I opened the entryway door and greeted.<br /> <br /> “Have a good morning. Erm… Doesn’t it bother you that I’ve come so early<br /> in the morning?”<br /> <br /> “Of course not. What do you need?”<br /> <br /> “I-it’s not that I need something, but… I have to discuss a little <br /> something with you.”<br /> <br /> “Discuss?”<br /> <br /> How weird that Zonmi has something to discuss with me.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> “Yes. That… If it’s fine with you, take this, please.”<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Saying that, Zonmi handed me a cutely wrapped translucent parcel.<br /> <br /> “… This is?”<br /> <br /> “This… That’s, they are cookies.”<br /> <br /> “Cookies? Cookies… Could it be… They’re handmade?”<br /> <br /> “… Yes.”<br /> <br /> Zonmi nodded, her cheeks a deep scarlet.<br /> <br /> Such a surprising response that it left me befuddled.<br /> <br /> Alas, since I have no experience with it, I don’t know, but handmade <br /> cookies… Aren’t they given by lovers to their crush?<br /> <br /> “Could it be… They are for me?”<br /> <br /> When I asked with a doubtful gaze, Zonmi, exaggeratedly shaking her <br /> head,<br /> <br /> “T-t-t-tha’s wrong! This is… Just by chance!”<br /> <br /> “? Is that so?”<br /> <br /> “Yep. The truth is, I… Since long ago, my hobby was baking pastries and,<br /> since the succubus said she’d lend me the kitchen, I tried making some <br /> for the first time in a long while. So then… Since I made too many by <br /> chance, I decided to share them with Chiharu…”<br /> <br /> “I see. So it’s because of that?”<br /> <br /> Her hobby is pastry-making… Zonmi has unexpectedly ladylike hobbies.<br /> <br /> “So… You may think of me as an unbecoming woman for this, but… Better <br /> than keep standing here talking, if you please, won’t you let me enter <br /> your room, Chiharu? Since, to me, pastries go better with black tea.”<br /> <br /> “Understood. It’s a bit messy, but don’t mind it.”<br /> <br /> “No. It’s no problem.”<br /> <br /> Taking off her outdoor shoes at the entrance&lt;ref&gt;The same way <br /> people take off their shoes when entering a single-family house or a <br /> school, at some hotels, shoes are taken off when entering a <br /> room.&lt;/ref&gt;, Zonmi,<br /> <br /> <br /> “How glad. Somehow, recently… Many things kept popping up and we didn’t <br /> have the chance to speak alone together.”<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Muttered something.<br /> <br /> “Mm, did you say something?”<br /> <br /> “No. It’s nothing.”<br /> <br /> “Is that so? If I’m not mistaken… Since Iris too likes sweet things, I <br /> think this will make her happy.”<br /> <br /> “Being told that makes me happy more than… Wait, why has the name of the<br /> red dragon come out there?!”<br /> <br /> “Eh… That’s…”<br /> <br /> So, I realized I’d made an error I couldn’t take back.<br /> <br /> How careless.<br /> <br /> There’s no need to say that, right now, inside my bed there’s Iris in a <br /> nightgown… A third party, not knowing the circumstances will, without <br /> fail, get the wrong impression of the situation.<br /> <br /> “Hey, Zonmi. As I thought, why don’t we not go with my room?”<br /> <br /> “<br /> <br /> ==References and Translation Notes==<br /> &lt;references /&gt;<br /> <br /> {{SimpleNav|e=6}}<br /> &lt;/noinclude&gt;</div>
