When I returned to the entrance of the Lost Forest, Sophia was waiting for me.

"Elias-sama, are you all right? I'm so glad."

Of course I am. I just visited my mother.

 In fact, I had unexpectedly met Fiona, but since she was safely protected by my mother, there was nothing to say to Sophia.

 We decided to go back to the Dietrichs' house.

 Father's soldiers, who still intend to follow us, are also accompanying us.

 As we were walking south across the plain, some monsters appeared.

 I beat them with plenty of time to spare.

 They were too weak to raise my stats.

"Elias-sama, you have grown strong, haven't you?"

"I don't think so. "

"Before, if you encountered a monster, you would have cried out and run away".

"I'm too much of a coward. ......"

 I don't remember anything before I was six years old, but was I that timid?

 After defeating monsters and chatting with Sophia, we arrived at Dietrich's house.

 It was just time for dinner.

 I had to report to my father that I had arrived home safe and sound.

"Father, I'm back safe and sound."

"Oh, Elias. I'm glad you're back safe and sound. The Dietrich family cannot afford to be beaten. If you came back here alive, it means you have not been defeated."

 Hmm? The moment I came back, I saw a big smile on Father's face that I had never seen before.

 He went right back to his usual grin.

"Yes, I did. I swear to you, I have not suffered any defeat."

 I'm not lying, but I almost died a few times.

 I don't know what I would have done without Sophia's potion.

 There was my mother-in-law Ella, my father's legitimate wife, and their daughters, Leah and Rhea.

"Mother-in-law, sister Leah, sister Rhea, Elias, I'm back."

"I don't care about that kind of a report. I'. I did not authorize your entry into the Dietrichs' main residence, Elias."

". Mother is right. I don't want to see your face."

............

 Mother-in-law and sister Leah are still very hard on me.

 Leah doesn't give me anything back when I talk to her.

 I don't know if she and I have ever talked to each other.

"Ella, Leah, don't. I have told you many times. that Elias is allowed to enter the main residence during dinner time and when he has business to attend to. Don't make me repeat it."

 Father turned his sharp gaze on mother-in-law Ella and sister Leah.

 The two of them seemed to have no choice but to obey.

 Did he cover for me? No, Father is not that kind of a man.

 He just can't tolerate things that don't make sense.

 As usual, I eat my meal in silence at the dinner table.

 My in-laws tease me.

 If I were a young maiden, it would be like a fairy tale, I thought.

 I went back to my room and went to bed.

 Sleeping recovers HP and restores my humanity level.

Additional information about demon degree and human degree

I have received a question about whether killing demons increases the degree of , Demoninity or whether killing humans increases the degree of Humanity.

The author believes that killing monsters raises the level of Demoninity , and killing human beings also raises the level of Demoninity.

Killing a human being means losing humanity.

And, as readers who have read the work thoroughly will know, there is no such thing as killing demon tribe members that raises their degree of .Demoninity

The level of Demoninity rises when you absorb the magic particles that come out after killing demons.

If it is not absorbed, the degree of Demoninity does not increase.

The author considers the degree of Demoninity and Humanity to be separate from the issue of good and evil.

Nevertheless, in the beginning of the story, there is a description of an inevitable bad end if the degree ofDemoninity increases too much, so if you ask me if it is impossible to consider that it is not a matter of good and evil, I cannot deny that it is.

When I was writing the first chapter , I thought it would be interesting to have such a setting. I was taking it easy and thinking that it would be a good idea.

I apologize for any misunderstanding.

I have to think about the setting properly.

I am sure there are other things that are interesting and contradictory, but I would appreciate it if you would keep a watchful eye on my work.
