Volume 5 Chapter 8 [Hero SIDE] What To Do With The Sudden Appearance Of A Five-Year-Old
This happened while Horace and Deus were fighting in the 'Wrath of the Heavens'.
In one room of the hero's mansion in Jewel City Lapis.
There was a round table with 7 seats, and 6 leaders from Luster Report and Nousa were sitting there.
"So, what's this meeting about?"
Ramella asked while writing on a paper.
She seemed to be designing a sword, probably drawing plans as the head of the workshop.
"It's decided. We're talking about what to do with that kid, Deus."
"Why are you so upset~?"
"It's decided! That boy used my child's clothes without asking! I won't forgive him!"
Tiaris, who usually looks very elegant, was frowning with a wrinkle on her forehead.
But the reason—someone using clothes without permission—seemed strange to everyone else.
"Why are you making clothes for a 5-year-old when you're not even pregnant?"
"You need to be ready for having a child."
"But making clothes for 5 years..."
Tiaris smiled slyly after Nousa asked her.
Right now, the women are too strong, and Horace is too scared to have a baby. Even though they're trying many things, there's no baby yet.
Still, Luster Report has 100 members, so if they had babies, it would be a lot. It's not wrong to prepare kids' clothes early.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
Raising kids is hard, you know.
"But I think Ivan learned his lesson after getting in trouble."
As Cindy said, Deus was hugging everyone and calling them 'mommy,' but he did it to Ivan and got hit.
Since then, he's still a bit of a troublemaker, but he's more careful about who he teases.
"It doesn't matter."
"I don't get why you're so mad just because your child's clothes were used."
When Luster Report needs clothes, they ask Ramella, the workshop head, or Tiaris, who manages the maids.
So, members usually ask Tiaris for clothes, and she makes them without any trouble.
And Deus isn't just any kid.
No one knows why, but he's a golem created by Horace that looks like a child.
Everyone imagines Tiaris giving clothes to Deus after he asks for them.
"Do you know what he did with the clothes I gave him?"
"What did he do?"
"He smelled them and said they smelled like s**en!"
Tiaris has a very strong interest in romance, but she doesn't bring those things into her room.
As the head maid, she keeps things clean and organized.
Plus, she's very good at cleaning, so her laundry is perfect.
This time, Deus was clearly being rude.
"Everyone must have had things to get mad about!"
"Compared to fighting the Demon Lord, it's nice to see a kid being so lively."
"I agree."
"...In Ellie's case, isn't your interest in young boys growing?"
"I'm not that weird."
"It's fun talking to him. When he asked what he likes, he said 'big breasts!'"
Deus is definitely a troublemaker, but the Luster Report members went through a tough journey to defeat the Demon Lord.
Troublemakers only show up in peaceful times, so I don't mind him.
Instead, strong people like Horace and Tiaris, who handled the Demon Lord era, are the ones tired of dealing with him.
"...Wait, was I the only one really upset by that kid?"
"Maybe."
"Why?!"
"It's about self-control. The master's frustration gets worse every day."
"..."
Tiaris had no response.
"And maybe he also thinks about Ivan."
"What do you mean, Nousa?"
"Like, going into dungeons together, that kind of thing."
"Oh, I see."
"Anyway, he's thinking about master in his own way."
Deus is a golem created by Horace.
And since Horace keeps checking his brain, he kind of understands his thoughts.
Deus acts based on that, but there might be mistakes in the data, making him a bit of a troublemaker.
"...Fine, I'll forgive him for now."
Tiaris said this unwillingly.
So, about what to do with Deus as Luster Report,
The general idea is "let's handle it casually."
Nousa thought, 'Isn't this the same as always?', but she didn't say it.
