Dungeon capture, this time it begins!
Finally, since everyone had gathered, it was decided that Rinka would release the seal.
"Everyone, I'm counting on you."
"Before that, I have a request, my Lord. Give us names. Names will become bonds and further connect us."
Rinka nodded at the words of the Fire Spirit King and gave them names.
The Fire Spirit King became Suou.'
The Water Spirit King became 'Ruri.'
The Earth Spirit King became ‘Sh...

Hitachimaru returned with Ikumatsu.
"What did you teach Naru about marriage?"
"I taught him about the promise to live together with the person you love the most.”
"............ It’s correct."
After thinking for a moment, Hitachimaru muttered.
"That's correct. Naru's favorite person is Master Hiiro, and he has no intention of parting from him in the future."
"What happened?"
Tiredly, Ikumatsu asked. He probably hadn't...

"Naru, it's been a while!"
With those words, Otoha embraced me tightly as I sat on the bed. I extended my right hand to Otoha's back.

Fast.
"Naruhito is a child, so it’s fine, right?"
Otoha protested against Hitachimaru, who clung to her back.
What's that supposed to mean?
I'm not a kid.
"He's vehemently denying it himself, though."
Hitachimaru said while looking at me.

Summons from the Tamers’ Guild
Today is the day to gather magic stones.
As usual, I gathered magic stones and went to the Adventurers’ Guild to sell Ogre materials other than magic stones.
Melanie stopped me.
It seems she had something to discuss.
Not at the Adventurers’ Guild, but at the Tamers' Guild.
"Is it a summons from the Tamers’ Guild? It's the first time."
"You are a production-specialized tamer. There was probably no reason for the...

Ikumatsu was studying. All the time, reading books, writing something diligently. In the quiet room, only the sound of the pen scratching and the rustle of turning pages could be heard.
Occasionally, I would rub my cheek against the futon and watch Ikumatsu like that.
"Have you been awake, Naruhito? Sorry if I didn't notice."
I lifted my face and our eyes met.
It's fine.
I find watching you enjoyable, Ikumatsu.

Eventually, Naruhito opened his eyes nearly ten days later, around the time when Ikumatsu, who had been taking care of him, began to feel anxious.
Upon waking up, Naruhito looked at his right hand and started sobbing quietly, so I lifted him up, being careful of the intravenous drip, but he kept crying for a while.
I was in a panic because I didn't know what was wrong, but before going back to sleep, his hoarse voice said, "Candy..."

Seeing Sai touch his right ear, I realized something.
"Do all people from the Empire wear earrings? Only on the left side? Did Naruhito wear one?”
"At birth, everyone is given an earring by the country on the left ear. When you get married, you wear an earring given by your partner on the right ear. Combat Dolls, if they are from the Empire, should have an earring on the left ear as well."
I peeked at the bed, but Naruhito didn’t have an ear...

Two weeks have passed since I started handling Red Rank oriented armor in my shop.
To be frank, the sales were doing exceptionally well.
Or rather, are there really so many Red-rankers?

I started selling equipment for Red Rank adventurers as recommended by Alizée.
As expected, since it was specifically for Red-rankers, customers haven't shown up yet.
Instead, the Grand Master came.
"Mhm. The leather for the chest armor is triple-layered, isn't it?"
"Yes, the sample is made with three layers. That way, it doesn't hinder movement too much when worn."

Naruhito doesn’t wake up. Even when the entire left side of his body was completely wrecked, he woke up in three days. This time, it should be just a fracture in his right hand.
"It's probably due to the influence of the orders. I've heard that Combat Dolls receive orders much stronger than ours. To restrain such power, strong restrictions are necessary. There might be damage to the brain."
Sai’s words made me pale.

Life is fulfilling.
Cyril is growing up healthy, without any illness.
Members of the Royal family and their relatives aren't at ease until the children are at the age of three.
Especially within the first 10 months of birth, it's said to be challenging due to fevers and illnesses, but Cyril has had none of that.
In fact, other doctors also examined him, and they said it's rare to see a baby so healthy.

Otoha calls me Naru.

I nodded happily as Otoha came closer.
She wakes me up and puts a straw to my mouth. Straws are convenient. You can drink as much as you like.

Is it really selling that well?
It's a lower-tier version compared to the women's equipment, you know?
Women's armor also sells pretty well, though.

The day after we had prepared our equipment, Shellche and I set out for a monster hunting adventure.

These birds can't fly, but they are quite agile, with a body that's about one meter in size and a moderate weight.
They have sharp claws and a beak, making it a somewhat unpopular monster to hun...

After verifying the power of the cane, they all turned back to the wall that had been set up behind the target.
"You can even break a wall this though...?"

The ground had the color of freshly turned soil, but apart from that, I had left it with a hardness similar to the other parts, so it would p...
