—- We can be friends with demons, too, if we feel the same way.

There was a time when I thought so too.

Lilia had continued to explore alone after splitting up with Rolf and the others. Usually, she would test her tame spell against weak demons near the forest entrance, but today she stepped into the middle of the woods in search of a new demon to meet.

The deeper you go into the forest, the higher the level of the demons become. Some of the highly intelligent demons can understand human language. They have the advantage of being easier to communicate with than low-level demons.

—but only if the tamer’s level was high.

I saw a small demon behind the bushes and hurriedly chased after it. Still, the cute squirrel-like demon’s back cracked open, and a wriggling tentacle appeared, and in the blink of an eye, it was hung upside down. How much time had passed since then? The sun, which should have been directly overhead, is already slipping down. I can’t help but feel the need to go to the bathroom from a while ago.

‘Huh, you can’t help it if they can’t understand your language.’

I’m going to lose my human dignity. On the contrary, this mucus has been clinging to me since a while ago. Will I be dissolved by this mucus and die? I’m not sure if I’ll be remembered as an adventurer who died covered in mucus. That’s…… so dumb it makes me cry.

When Lilia had a distant look in her eyes.

“So how long are you going to stay like that? Is that your hobby?”

Rolf jumps down from the top of the tree.

“Rolf! Rolf! Ugh, thank God, thank God.”

“That’s pretty interesting.”

When he said that, he crouched down at the very edge of the tentacle’s reach and observed with amusement.

“It’s not funny! I’m in so much trouble! My head is going to explode, and I’m going to die! And the mucus could dissolve me to death!”

“I hear that mucus makes your skin crawl. There have been requests to harvest it for use as an ingredient in high-end cosmetics.”

“What? Seriously? Then I’ll take some home with me……”

“Well, as long as you get out of here alive. Well, I’ve got work to do.”

Then he stands up, spins on his heel, and tries to walk away.

“Well, you’re not going to abandon me, are you?”

“Now, what do I do? I’m a loner. And I don’t have any friends? You don’t have to help someone who isn’t your friend, do you?”

“Petty! What a petty person! Shouldn’t we adventurers help each other?”

“They say I’m too small for that. Good luck until a bigger adventurer walks by. Bye.”

As soon he said that, Rolf walks off. No one has ever passed by. You never know when you’ll see someone again. Not only that. If I miss this opportunity, I will surely lose my human dignity. The blood drained from Lilia’s face.

“What! Rolf? Are you kidding me? You’re kidding, right? Tell me you’re lying! Uh, help me! Please! Rolf! No, Master Rolf! I can’t take it anymore! Oh, my God! I’ll do anything!”

“Anything…..? Rolf stops with an evil grin on his face.”

“Ugh, so, as far as I can, I think it’s probably ……”

“Probably?”

“No, no, it’s not true! I’ll do anything! In the name of the adventurer!”

“Hmm? Don’t forget those words.”

Rolf cut off the tangled tentacles in a flash with the sword in his hand and quickly hugged Lilia to the side.

“What! No, hey, put me down!”

“Shut up. Just shut up.”

Rolf dexterously walked through the trees with Lilia in his arms, and in no time at all, he was back near the entrance to the forest. He softly lowered her to the ground and gently wiped Lilia’s mucus-coated face with his hands. As it is, her bangs are brushed back, and when her forehead is knocked together, she is smoothly stroked on the cheek.

(What, what? (No, no, what’s this, hey, hey, …… is tiny!)

Lilia froze at Rolf’s sudden action. For some reason, she could feel a sexiness from Rolf that she had never felt before.

“Lilia…Lilia!”

He stared at her with thoughtful eyes for a moment, and Lilia let out a small breath. Come to think of it, I said I would do anything just now. Eh, it’s okay, this? Did he kiss me or something?

Lilia couldn’t help but squeezed her eyes shut and fluffed up her jacket.

“Wear this until we get back.”

Lilia’s body was transparent in places due to the mucus. Lilia remembered how she was dressed and turned red with shame.

“Awwww……ugh, ha, embarrassing~!”

“Well, thank God you’re okay. You can go home now.”

Saying that Rolf walked away from Lilia. She pouted for a moment and then hurriedly said her thanks.

“Oh, thank you, Rolf!”

“Yeah. Bye.”

(Nah, I guess he was kidding earlier. But really, I’m just glad Rolf happened to be passing by! Rolf, you have a surprisingly good point ……. I’ve made a mess of this. I’ll wash it properly next time.

Lilia let out a sigh of relief and hurried home, feeling her limits.
