Mooch, mooch, mooch, mooch?

The little beast spawned from the Emperor (Kaiser) Behemoth was like a different kind of cute beast.

It had no iron-like skin, its entire body was covered in white body hair, hiding its eyes and mouth. The only thing that was visible was a small nose that was black as a pea grain.

''What is this, it's so cute! Moffff!

The small behemoth is held in my arms, and Sasha hugs me as well.

I'm going to be able to tell you that you're embarrassed. I'm embarrassed by the skin contact from a girl I'm not used to.

Stop him. I had almost no contact with girls back then.

It's a secret that it's not that different now, though.

''Mokyukki, mokyukki!

The little behemoth that was so quiet when I was holding him started to flail in Sasha's arms.

'Oh, that? Why do you hate your sister?

"Mokyu.

With a gurgle, Sasha collapses to the small behemoth that nods in immediate response.

'I don't know what it is, but only Takumi misses you.

When Butts tries to touch him, he tries to bite him.

He only seems to miss me.

The beast is like the reincarnation of the Emperor Behemoth. I guess it doesn't like the Nuruhachi who fought against it as an enemy. It seems that he only allows Takumi, the only one who didn't show any hostility, to have his heart set on him.

Saying that, Nuruhachi reached for the former emperor behemoth that was melted by magic.

''Hm, this is more magic than I imagined. This is going to reach the desired number faster than I thought.''

Mooch, Mooch, Mooch!

The small behemoth in his arms is angry at Nuruhachi.

Indeed, if it's a reincarnation, there's no point in hating the Nuruhachi that killed him and stole his magic power.

''Wait a minute, so you mean this guy will eventually grow up to be that giant Emperor Behemoth?''

Don't worry, it'll take him over a thousand years to grow up to that point. They're just little animals now. You can keep it, eat it, or do what you want with it.

I'm so excited!

A small behemoth hides in my arms in response to Nuruhach's words of eating.

It seems to understand our words.

As expected, I'm not ready to eat such a beast.

When I stroke its head, it rumbles its throat happily and wags its tail.

I wonder if it's a feline or a canine.

He holds up a small behemoth that looks like a cotton candy.

'Okay, let's name it.'

You decide to get a small behemoth and think of a name.

'Hey, what do you think of the behemoth? Isn't it pretty?

"Mooch!

Sasha instantly shakes her head and falls into a gaggle of depression again.

'How about emergency food?

I think I'd like the beefsteak.

More, more, more!

Yeah, everyone's thinking about eating it.

The small behemoths are so angry at the names Nuruhach and Butts have given them.

Rick wasn't interested and stayed a little farther away from them.

'Well, it's a baby, so how about the name baby behemoth?

Click!

He seemed to like it and was happy to see her wagging her tail.

After all, he only misses Takumi, doesn't he?

No, it's not, Nuru Bee.

Regardless, emergency food and wadding are not names.

Hey, Tak-kun. What's going on with the baby-mo's gone now? You ate it after all, didn't you?''

I didn't eat it! I'm still alive and well!

Come to think of it, I haven't seen Baby Mo in a while.

When this mess is over, I'll go see him for the first time in a while.

Mokyu.

The baby moos chirped happily in answer to me now.

For a while after that, Nuruhachi took a few S-class quests and I nearly died many times.

Most of the quests had knocked me unconscious, but when I look back to the past, I can see all of the images and events.

How does he remember things I didn't see?

Our brains are capable of storing all kinds of things in data even when we don't actually see them. Since we became swords, we can see with our senses, not with our eyes.

It's like a super-sense?

"Even if you weren't conscious, your brain and body must have some memory of it, even if you didn't see it.

I don't know, but I don't dare go into it because it's useful to know the past.

'Mokyu, mokyu.'

I was worried that it would be okay to take a babimo on an S-class quest, but my fears were unfounded.

Even though he was small, he was originally an Emperor Behemoth.

When a demon attack comes, it inhales and expands its body wide to guard me.

''Mo, Kyu?''

Are you okay? I wonder if he's saying that.

It's too cute to hug him.

Thank you, baby mo. I'm going to spend a lot of time cooking today's meal, you know.

Mooch!

We fought in quests together, ate dinner and slept together.

Before I knew it, Baby Mo had become my irreplaceable partner.

'Tak-kun, you're being protected by a small animal. Isn't it usually the other way around?

Yeah, I think so.

After finishing the quest, it was my job to make a meal for everyone who worked hard.

'Takumi, do you want me to help with that?'

'Okay, Sasha, you must be tired from my recovery. I didn't do anything. You could at least let me cook for you.

Saying that, I'm cooking by myself in the past.

"Tak-kun, you're even livelier than when you're on a quest.

Yeah, that's when I really started to enjoy cooking.

From my luggage, I pull out a few jars and place them in front of the pot. The smell of spices tickles my nose as I open the lid.

'We'll have curry tonight. I'll try to keep it a little less spicy since we have babimo.

I'm still sweet, past me.

I use a lot of spices, and I'm proud of it, but I don't like the combination.

A really good curry brings out the flavors of the ingredients, and the spices must be used as a supplementary aid. That's a long way from being a first-class chef.

No, Takkun is an adventurer. What kind of chef are you trying to be? Well, Tad-kun's luggage already has only cooking-related items in it.

Before I knew it, the only equipment an adventurer has is the great sword that Nuruhachi bought for me.

In my mind, I may have already given up on my dream of becoming an adventurer at this time.

''Guys, it's done. We have plenty of okawari.

The curry, which was still in its infancy to me now, was a big hit with the Nuruachis.

'Mokyuu, mokyuu.'

Oh, you're a fast eater, baby boy. You're a pretty fast eater, baby boy.

Wiping the curry from Baby Mo's mouth, I served him some okawari.

"Sounds like fun, why did you quit being an adventurer?

He didn't answer that question from Karna.

'You'll see it soon.'

The event that would be the answer to that question, Nuruhachi and his friends and I headed to the Demon King's Great Labyrinth (Labyrinth), and the day when I would meet Alice was just around the corner.
