"I see, so that's what happened."
Hearing Enri tell him what had happened in the village, he nodded his head in thought; it seemed there was not much different compared to the original story, as the only difference was that Ray survived.
After thinking for a moment, he looked up to see Enri making a sad expression.
He sighed, raised himself from his seat, and sat on the sofa beside her as he put his arm around her shoulder and brought her head to his chest.
"N-Nfi?"
Enri looked upward toward him with a surprised expression, her cheeks blushing with embarrassment as he smiled gently at her.
"I don't like seeing your sad face, so I thought to comfort you for a bit."
"Nfi... thank you."
Enri smiled at him and then buried her face in his chest while hugging him tightly.
He put his right hand around her waist and placed his left hand on top of her head as he gently rubbed her head to comfort her when he heard a small sob coming from her.
To be honest, he could easily prevent the death of her father, but when he offered him a magic item to protect himself, he refused because of his pride, instead telling him to give the item to his daughter.
He easily conceded, even though he didn't have trouble giving all of them the same item.
After all, by that time he already had a relationship with Ray, so it would benefit him for him to die. It also seemed Ray still had a bit of feeling toward the man.
After several minutes comforting Enri, he heard someone talking to each other alongside the sound of a door being opened.
"It seems master and Enri are still doing sweet things to each other. Should we come later, Nemu?"
"Hahahahaha! No! We should just come inside and tease them!"
"Ara~ what naughty kids."
He and Enri looked toward the door, where he could see Ray holding a tray of cookies with a gentle smile and Nemu, who was hugging the lifeless Shiraori in her arms with a mischievous smile spread on her face.
"Ah! Mom! Nemu!"
Enri immediately separated herself from him with a beet-red face, holding both of her cheeks with her hands in embarrassment.
"I don't know you two were already here; since when have you all been listening?"
"Since the beginning!"
"Ugh!"
"Hahahaha! Your face is all red, big sis!"
Nemu energetically ran toward us and then sat between him and Enri, followed by Ray, who put a tray of cookies on the table while sitting on the sofa across from us.
"Big bro! Big sis! These are cookies I made with Mom! Try them!"
"Oh? Aren't you a good kid for helping your mom?"
"He-he-he-he-he, I do my best!"
Nemu smiled brightly when he patted her head as she took one cookie from the table and munched on it in happiness.
When Nemu took a cookie, she inadvertently released Shiraori; the spider immediately escaped as fast as possible, climbing his body and hiding herself in his hood.
It seemed she didn't like dealing with the kid.
As he listened to Nemu excitedly tell them about her fun day, he couldn't help but think that she needed more friends her age to play with.
After the killings in this village, the number of kids in it had reduced drastically.
Although there are still kids in this village, most of them have reservations about playing with Nemu because her family is the richest in the village.
Added to the fact that she is the sister of someone who summoned a goblin, it makes them rarely play together.
Previously, he didn't have much interest in Arche because she was an early bloomer and didn't have much potential, but he should probably recruit her to make her twin sister friends with Nemu.
He had also already developed the Limit Breaker potion, so it shouldn't be a problem to make her stronger.
It is also the perfect time to get Leinas, considering her debt to serve the emperor for one year in allowing her to have revenge has been near.
Besides, he already sent an adamantite golem as a replacement for Leinas's position, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to get Leinas earlier.
As he thought about his future actions, he could feel Ray's gaze on him.
He looked at her with a tilted head and raised eyebrow as he used telepathy, so as not to interrupt Nemu.
"What is it, Ray?"
"Can we have a private talk, Master?"
"Sure, but we should wait until Nemu finishes talking."
"I understand."
After several minutes of talking nonstop with him and Enri, it seemed Nemu was tired. She got down from the sofa and left the room to get a drink.
He and Ray got up at the same time, with Enri looking at them questioningly.
"Enri, can you play with Nemu once she goes back? Your mom and I have something to talk about in private."
"Muu, although I am fine with accompanying Nemu in play, I feel like I am being left out."
Looking at her pouting cheek, he playfully poked one of them as Enri hurriedly stayed away from his finger while glaring at him cutely.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, don't make that face, we're just going to talk for a moment, and then we can continue hugging each other like before."
After he said that, Enri's entire face turned so red that he felt like her head was letting out steam.
She hurriedly stood up and ran toward the door while screaming at him on the way out.
"T-There is no way I want that!! You dummy!!"
He looked at the fleeing Enri with a smile, seeing how cute she was. He then turned toward Ray and said,
"Now that she's gone, what are you going to talk about?"
"I don't want to talk in here; let's do it in another room, Master."
"Sure, lead the way."
He then followed Ray, who walked to another door that led to the inner house, where their bedroom was located, while leaving Shiraori behind in the previous room.
After walking in the short hall, we reach another door as Ray opens it without any hesitation, and he follows her into the room.
Looking at his surroundings, which seem to be the main bedroom, he turned toward Ray with a teasing smile on his face.
"So, are you seducing me now? Bringing a young man alone to your deceased husband's bedroom, what a lewd wife."
"N-No, t-that's not— ahem, that's not why I brought you here, master."
He looks in disappointment, seeing her recovering faster than he thought, but he can see a shade of red on her cheek, so he will be satisfied with that.
"So, master, did you already know this village was going to be attacked and that Lord Gown would appear here?"
"Yes, how did you know?"
He admitted as he approached the bed and sat on its side.
The moment he placed his butt on the bed, he frowned when he breathed in the masculine smell; he flicked his finger using [Clean] to get rid of any trace of that man from this room.
"Remember the recording you showed us?"
"Yes, what of it?"
He tilted his head in confusion. How did she get to know just from that? But after thinking about it for a moment, he understood where the problem was.
"There is nothing of importance about where you put the camera. Besides, you never placed any camera other than in this village. Even though this is where my daughter lives, it is still strange."
Ray explained while sitting beside him. He sighed, seeing how smart she was. The corner of his mouth then raised as he turned toward her with narrowed eyes.
"So, what about it? Did you feel sad that I let your husband die?"
"I... I don't know."
Ray honestly said there was uncertainty in her as her eyes wandered around the room in confusion.
"Well, it seems you are confused about your feelings. How about this? If there is a way to resurrect your husband, will you do it?"
He was curiously looking at her; no matter which option she chose, he would respect her decision.
Although there is no method to resurrect her husband if she chose that option, as he is just an ordinary human and would just turn to ash if resurrected.
"I..."
Ray looked complicatedly at the photo of her family on top of the drawer beside the bed, and after several minutes of just staring at the image, she turned back toward him.
It seemed she had already made the decision, as there was determination in her eyes.
"No, I will not."
"I see; I am glad to hear that."
The corner of his mouth raised as he happily smiled at her. This meant she had already cut any attachment to her husband and chose to be with him instead.
"Even though you are an evil, immoral, and perverted master..."
"Oi."
He looked at her in surprise when she suddenly insulted him out of nowhere, but seeing the smile on her face, it seemed she was just joking.
"... it is also the fact that you always treat me and my daughter kindly, so whatever I choose, him or you, I think it is obvious I choose you; that's why, master..."
Ray smiled flirtatiously while her cheek tinged red.
She then grabbed the bottom of her shirt and dragged it to the top of her chest, showing her jiggling big breasts covered in a sexy red bra.
"Please impregnate me and make me yours~"
Hearing the sultry tone in her voice, his mouth turned into a grin.
He felt his penis twitch and turn hard; it was eager to impregnate the horny female in front of him.
"◇"
"It has been way too long; I wonder what Mom and Nfi are talking about."
She murmured while watching Nemu playing around with a ball of string made by Nfi's spider pet.
Although she found the spider's appearance kind of scary, at the very least, the spider seemed friendly as it was willing to play with Nemu and make all kinds of string toys.
"It has already been two hours; I should check on them."
She can't hold back her curiosity anymore; she raised herself from the sofa and told Nemu to wait as she began searching for where they were having the conversation.
After searching all over the house and not finding them, she concluded that they were likely talking in her father's bedroom, as she had not checked on it yet.
She immediately went there, but when she got closer to the room, she heard a strange sound that was like a grunt and a moan.
Suspicious, she slowly and silently approached the bedroom.
The closer she got to the room, the clearer the sound became to her. Her cheeks turned red when that one possibility entered her mind, but she shook her head to get rid of that thought; there was no way Nfi and her mom would do that.
But when she reached in front of the door, she couldn't help but think that one possibility was correct. She gulped her saliva when she heard her mom screaming loudly in pleasure.
She leaned her body against the door and then slid toward the floor.
She felt her pussy getting hotter and hotter as she put her hand inside her skirt and began touching herself while listening to the erotic sounds coming from inside the room.
