It has been awhile since I’ve went back to my mansion after coming out from the trading shop .

Heading inside the mansion when the sun sets, a girl who was wearing an ap.r.o.n while using a broom larger than herself to sweep the floor, Emily, our eyes met .

[Emily . ] (Ryouta)

[Yodsan! Welcome back nanodesu!] (Emily)

Emily placed the broom down, and immediately come towards me .

More precisely, she leaped forward several meters ahead towards me .

The moment she landed on the ground, she hugged me tightly, and I couldn’t stop it—–but that last long .

Before that could happen, the protector on me turned back into a human form, Leia, stood in between us, making Emily stop .

[Who might you be nanodesu?] (Emily)

[Master, who is this?] (Leia)

The two of them asked me at the same time .

[This is our new friend Emily, may I trouble with getting a room ready for her as well . ](Ryouta)

[I got it nanodesu . ] (Emily)

Emily then walked back into the mansion with pitter patter footsteps echoing .

[Master . ] (Leia)

[Hm?] (Ryouta)

[Is Master my friend?] (Leia)

[That’s what I a.s.sumed… . . Do you not want it?] (Ryouta)

[……No . As I am always Master’s tool . ] (Leia)

[Being a tool is really saddening, instead of that, be a friend is better . ] (Ryouta) (TLN: Before Leia can even be a lover, Ryouta has already friendzoned her . )

Since I knew that her soul was gone, it’s normal for her to be using the word [tool] .

Hence why I strongly propose on being [friends], as I stared at her with determination .

[As a friend… . . ] (Leia)

[Hm?] (Ryouta)

[As a friend… . . can I also hug Master?] (Leia)

Ah, so she was talking about what Emily did just now .

[It’s not like I mind—–] (Ryouta)

Before I could finish my sentence, a hand from beside me reached out to my head and chopped me .

As I look beside, I could see Eve’s appearance .

A self prided bunny ears with a bunny suit to complete the image .

With the same lack of emotions that Leia has, Eve chopped me another time .

[It hurts, it hurts, what’s the matter with you Eve . ] (Ryouta)

[I hate low level . ] (Eve)

[That’s kinda nostalgic . ] (Ryouta)

After smiling at the sight, I took out a carrot from within my pocket, and showed it to Eve .

While farming for the 10 Million Piros, I kept a few carrots for her .

It was a freshly made Drop S carrot .

It was a freshly made Drop S carrot .

Eve then showed a sweet and happy expression, before taking the carrot from my hands .

[Long time no see, carrot . ] (Eve)

[I’m glad to hear it . ] (Ryouta)

[You have a long deposit . ] (Eve)

[In the end, you still chop my head . ] (Ryouta)

After receiving the carrot, Eve who’s mood was lifted up lightly chop my head again .

Then munching on the carrot, she retreated back into the mansion .

[As usual this Eve……Hm? What’s the matter Leia, did you find something interesting about Eve?] (Ryouta)

[That person, is also Master’s friend?] (Leia)

[Yeah she is, why the sudden question?] (Ryouta)

[Does a friend… . chop people . ] (Leia)

[Eh? Ah so that’s what you were implying . It’s not like you can’t do it, and since you’re my friend, whatever you’re thinking, you can just do it . ] (Ryouta)

Was this a hasty commitment? Was what I thought for a moment, but my friends were all pretty unique in their own way .

All of them have their own various emotions that they convey towards me .

I guess Leia was trying to imitate what they were doing to me as a friend .

If she could return just a few percent of those feelings, then I’m find with whatever she wants to do .

The image of Alice suddenly went past my thoughts, as I would think that she might be a good influencer for Leia .

[Master!] (Cerberus)

This time it was Cerberus who ran towards me from the garden .

Cerberus the big (red) dog .

Cerberus the big (red) dog .

He fiercely dashed towards me, and immediately breaked right as he reached in front of me, then with eyes glowing brightly, he looked at me .

[Welcome home Master . ] (Cerberus)

[I’m back . ] (Ryouta)

[Hey Master . I have safely protected this mansion when Master isn’t around . ] (Cerberus)

[I see—] (Ryouta)

With his big and round puppy eyes, Cerberus’s aura was portraying a [Please praise me~] kinda look .

Thus, I petted his head, and right then his tails were wagging like crazy .

Even though his body is huge, but in these sorts of places, he’s just like a normal dog .

[Ehehe~] (Cerberus)

[… . . This is also Master’s friend?] (Leia)

[Eh? Uhmm I guess… . yeah, he’s also a friend to me . ] (Ryouta)

[Friend… . . ] (Leia)

[In a way, Leia is the closest to me when it comes to being a friend . Cerberus is a pet and a friend . Whereas Leia is a tool and a friend . ] (Ryouta)

Let’s try… . and follow with what she was saying just now .

Letting her know that I don’t want her to think of herself as just a tool .

Leia might think that her ident.i.ty is that of a [tool] .

If I don’t change that mentality of hers, she might still be thinking of herself as one .

After saying that, Leia stared hard at Cerberus .

After being mentioned as being the closest to me, she stared at Cerberus .

Then after awhile, she turned and look at me .

And even though it doesn’t seem like it, but she too imitate Cerberus’s aura of [Please praise me~] as well .

But she didn’t say anything . But because she didn’t say anything, the intense pressure of wanting me to do it is even higher .

[Leia . ] (Ryouta)

[Yes, Master . ] (Leia)

[It’s alright to say what you want . So don’t hold yourself back . ] (Ryouta)

[… . . Master . ] (Leia)

[Yes . ] (Ryouta)

Is she gonna finally say it? Was what I thought when .

[Master . ] (Cerberus)

Cerberus suddenly tackled me because I stopped petting his head .

A giant dog the size of a St . Bernard was on top of me .

After pushing me down, Cerberus continued to lick my face .

It’s the instinct of a dog to show its love towards its owner, so even though my face was covered in saliva, he didn’t mean anything bad to it .

Then I felt a gaze .

It was Leia’s eyes gazing at me on the ground .

My heart throbbed .

[W, wait a minute Leia, don’t be rash—–] (Ryouta)

It was too late when I realized it .

After that .

Leia and Cerberus both licked me like crazy . (TLN: NSFW!!!!)
