Walking through the bustling streets should have been a joy, but there was no joy for me at all, and I walked side by side with the captain beside me with a wooden box in my hand, followed by three orc warriors in armor who followed around me.

Passing through a variety of shops and stalls, I walked out of this street with my fellow orc warriors and entered another street with a completely different environment, which was obviously not as bustling as the previous one, and there were not as many people, but this street was the only way to the military fortress.

When we came to an intersection, I saw three familiar figures in the distance walking in my direction, two muscular male orcs and a werewolf girl in a short skirt, and I smiled as I looked at the three of them.

As the distance between us and them gradually shortened to only a dozen meters away, the werewolf girl walking beside her companion suddenly ran towards me quickly, looking at the way she ran, I couldn't help but stop, the short skirt she was wearing fluttered slightly because of the running.

The orc warriors standing beside me and behind me saw the werewolf girl running away, each holding their weapons and making a vigilant gesture, staring at the werewolf girl, and when I saw them make this move, I stretched out my right hand to signal that they didn't need to be vigilant, and explained to them that the werewolf girl was my acquaintance, and they gradually relaxed their high vigilance when they heard this.

Five-meter, three-meter, two-meter......

When the werewolf girl ran to me, only about a meter away, she stretched out her hands and hugged me who was standing in place with a box in her hand, and was held in her arms, and I was expressionless, as if I felt the temperature from her body, my heart, which had long been unable to feel any emotion, seemed to feel a faint happiness at this moment, I don't know how to express this feeling... The hug she gave me made me feel emotions that I hadn't experienced in a long, long time.

"Welcome back, Tut~"

The werewolf girl who hugged me in her arms came to my ear and said softly.

"I'm back, Wino. ”

Leaning into the werewolf girl's arms, I blinked my eyes and made a smiling face, saying the werewolf girl's name.

"Tut, your face looks a little haggard. Tutwino, who was leaning into his arms, asked with concern.

"Haha, really? If you hadn't said I'd probably not noticed. Seeing that Wino was looking at me with concern, I scratched my cheek with my left hand and made an embarrassed look.

[Oh ~ partner, is this little werewolf girl of the orc clan your girlfriend?]

Just then, Fringeld laughed, and suddenly joked in my mind.

(Partner, you're too gossipy.) ）

Hearing Fringard's teasing, I responded angrily to him full of curiosity.

[Don't be so stingy, partner~] Hearing my response, Fringard was not discouraged, but tirelessly said this to me.

Just as I was about to respond to Fringeld, the two muscular orc males not far from me also walked up behind Wino, both of whom were old acquaintances of mine... Temo and Gavey, one of my friends who took care of me when I first arrived at the Orc Clan, and the other who taught me martial arts skills, I have a good relationship with them.

"Yo, you're finally back, Tut. ”

When I was hugged by Wino, my eyes came into contact with Temo, Temo put on a hearty smile at me and greeted me in a hearty voice.

"Well, I'm back with Temo. Looking at Temo, who was smiling at me, I smiled and responded.

"First of all, congratulations on your safe return from Lesa Yaga, Tut. But... I'm really sorry, after all, Temo and I couldn't help you in the Forbidden Land. Gavey, who was standing aside after Temo had finished speaking, also congratulated me on my return from the Lysa Jega, and after the kind words, he lowered his head slightly and apologized to me in a calm voice.

"That's... I don't mean to blame you in the slightest, so you don't have to apologize to me. ...... After all, the reason why I was exiled to 'Lesa Jega' was because I broke the laws of the orc race......" Looking at Gavi who bowed his head and blamed himself, I didn't want to blame him at all.

As I finished speaking, Wino, who was hugging me with both hands, hugged me a little harder, and I was stunned when I looked up and saw her expression...... How to describe Wino's expression at this time? At this time, she was looking at me tenderly with a reluctant smile, and in the tenderness on her face, I vaguely saw a sadness that I could not detect without looking closely.

[Oh~Take a closer look at this werewolf girl, but it's actually quite beautiful~]

Just as I was stunned as I looked at Wino's expression, Fringard's cheerful voice came through my head again.

(Less rambling there, Fringeld!)

Hearing Fringer's voice, I shouted at him.

[What a partner, you... It's so stingy~]

Hearing my angry voice, Fringard had no choice but to say to me with a smile in a helpless voice.

"Ahem!ahem!!"

At this moment, there was a deliberate coughing sound behind me, and the captain who escorted me to the military fortress was the captain who escorted me to the military fortress, and he was looking at me with a smile on his face, and he seemed to remind me that the old days were almost there, right?

After hearing the captain's deliberate coughing sound, Wino subconsciously let go of the hands holding me, looking a little embarrassed, and I couldn't help but slightly hook the corners of my mouth and smile when I saw the embarrassed expression on Wino's face.

"Let's go. ”

I spoke briefly to the orc warriors and Temo who were with me, and after I had finished speaking, I walked forward without looking back, carrying a wooden box in my right hand.

The captain standing behind me, along with the other three armoured orc warriors, as well as Temo, Gavey, and Wino, walked beside me, and as we walked down the street together, we were naturally given a few more glances by the many residents who walked past us.

"Tut, what's on your face?"

Vino, who was walking beside me on purpose, noticed the small piece of metal attached to my left cheek early in the morning, and she pointed to her left cheek with her left index finger and asked me curiously.

"This... It's ......"

Hearing Wino's inquiry, I didn't know how to explain the small piece of metal attached to my face for a while, and I had to pretend to look at her with a distressed expression and a little headache when I looked at Wino walking beside me.

"Tut, can I take it off for you?"

Seeing the distressed look on my face, Wino smiled as she said as she reached out her left hand to remove the piece of metal attached to my face.

Watching Wino reach out to me, my outstretched left hand, I subconsciously grabbed the wrist of her left hand with my right hand, and Wino, who was grabbed by my wrist, couldn't help but look at me suspiciously... She seemed to be asking me "why stop her?".

"Thank you, Wisno. But I don't have to take anything off my face......" I smiled at Wino and refused, letting go of her left wrist.

“...... Then you... Do you want to hold my hand?"

Vino didn't feel any upset when she heard what I said, she smiled kindly at me and said to me a little shyly.

"Yes. ”

Hearing Wino say that I stretched out my right hand and held Wino's left hand and smiled at her, Wino, who was holding my hand and walking forward together, inexplicably appeared two blush on her cheeks, and she seemed to be carefully experiencing the temperature from Tut's right hand holding her left hand.

"Haha~ Wino, you're too clingy, aren't you?" Temo, who was walking beside Wino, couldn't help but laugh and joke when he saw me holding Wino's hand.

Indeed, she looks like a girl in love now. Even Gavey, who had always been calm when walking beside Temo, looked at Wino and said with a smile at this time.

After Temo and Gavi finished teasing Wino, they started chatting with the orc warriors who were following me......

It stands to reason that Wino should be angry when she hears Temo and Gavey teasing her, but this time, Wino, who was holding her hand, walked with her head down as if she hadn't heard what the two of them were saying. Just as I was curious about Wino, who didn't talk back to Temo or Gavey, I couldn't help but look into her face,...... Wow, her face was flushed and looked like the color of ripe apples and strawberries, and her expression couldn't help but become embarrassed as if she had noticed my gaze.

"Wino?"

Looking at Wino's side face, I asked with concern.

"No... I'm fine. Hearing my voice, Wino answered me in a quiet voice.

All right......

Since she said so, I'd better not continue to ask her, she should be shy now... Right?

[Poof~ha~Partner, you're really sluggish in terms of feelings!]

At that moment, Fringger's irrepressible laughter burst out of my head, and he laughed and said to me with a smile in the tone of a passerby.

（... Noisy... Who do you think you blame for all this?! If it weren't for you and I losing all my emotions, I would... Is it so sluggish?!)

Hearing Fringerd's laughter, I replied loudly again.

[Hahaha!You're finally admitting you're sluggish!]

(Tsk!I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!!)

"Tut... Warrior Captain ......"

"Captain Tut!"

"Huh?"

As I was talking to Fringeld, I seemed to hear someone calling my name, and as I turned to the left where the voice was coming from and tried to figure out who was calling me, I saw four orc families with whom I had many connections.

Regus and Philo, along with their father and mother, were standing on the left side of the street, watching me walk with a wooden case in my hand, holding Wino's hand, and Regus and Philo greeted me loudly, while their father, the middle-aged lionman, crossed his hands over his chest, and smiled hard at me, as if to say to me, 'I knew you would be able to come back from there!' As for Regus and Firo's mother, the middle-aged lionman's wife, the one I first met was a bunny woman in rather revealing clothes, and I remember blushing when I first saw her, still wearing rather revealing clothes and a small pink bow in her hair, she waved at me with her evenly lined left hand as if to greet me.

At the same time as I saw them, I subconsciously stopped my steps, and when I saw that I stopped, Temo, Gavey, and Wino, as well as the four orc warriors who were following me, also stopped their steps and looked at me who was standing there and looking away.

"What's wrong, Tut?" asked my captain of the orc warriors who led the three men who stopped standing still.

I didn't respond to the captain's inquiry, but silently looked at the Regus family standing on the left side of the street not far away.

"Are they people you know?"

Wino, who was standing next to me, seemed to notice the Regus family standing on the street on the left not far away, and she whispered in my ear as I held her hand.

"Yes, they're people I know. I nodded at Wino and said with a smirk.

The captain standing next to me sighed helplessly when I said this, and Temo and Gavi smiled silently when they heard what I said.

I took Wino's hand in one hand and Wisno's hand in the other, and walked towards the Regus family not far away, and when they saw me walking forward, Temo and they followed behind me and Wino unhurriedly.

I stopped as I led Wino to Regus and Philo and their father and mother, and Temo and Gavi behind me, and the captain of the three orc warriors, who stopped a short distance to look at the backs of Wino and me.

"Captain Tut, you've finally come back from there!" Reggs couldn't hide the joy on his face when he saw me standing in front of him, and he looked at me with great joy as he saw him reunited after a long absence.

Regus ...... I am back. I laughed at the joy on Regus' face and said to him with a smile.

"Tut... Warrior Chief, Huan... Welcome back! Seeing you return safely, I... I'm really happy!!"

Firo, who was standing next to Regus, couldn't help but blush when she saw me walking in front of them, but when she saw me holding a werewolf girl who looked more beautiful than her, Firo lowered her head in some frustration and fell silent. However, when Fei Luo heard what her brother said to the Tut Warrior Chief, Fei Luo, who was still silent, instantly raised her head and looked at the Tut Warrior Captain who was holding the beautiful werewolf girl, and she said in a panicked voice to the Tut Warrior Commander standing in front of her with a red face.

"Thank you, I'm back, Philo. Looking at Fei Luo standing in front of me, this rabbit girl I knew couldn't help but slightly hook the corners of my mouth and smile at her.

Hearing what I said, the expression on Philo's face became a little hesitant for some reason, and Regus, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but make a helpless look to me when he saw the expression on his sister's face.

"Captain Tut... I have something to say to you!" Suddenly, Firo looked at me with blazing eyes and said to me loudly.

"What do you want to say?" I subconsciously asked when I heard what Fei Luo said.

"That's... That's the one... What can I say......"

Hearing my rhetorical question, Fei Luo seemed to have forgotten the words for a while, her voice suddenly became smaller, and her expression became a little worried.

At this moment, Regus, who was standing beside Fei Luo, saw that his sister who seemed to be in distress at this time gently put his left hand on Fei Luo's right shoulder, and felt the touch on his shoulder, Fei Luo subconsciously looked at his brother "Regus", at this time he was looking at Fei Luo with a smile on his face, and he continued to reveal a serious look in his eyes, Fei Luo seemed to understand something in his brother's eyes, and gradually recovered his calm from the embarrassment.

"Kyo... Congratulations!!"

Looking at the Tut Warrior Captain and the beautiful werewolf sister standing in front of her, Firo mustered up the courage to make up her mind, and blessed me and Wino in a loud voice.

"Huh?"

When I heard what Firo said, I couldn't help but let out a puzzled sound.

When Firo plucked up the courage to say this, her brother who was standing next to her, her father and mother who were standing behind her were looking at me with a smile of joy and confusion, and Temo and Gavi, who were standing not far behind me, and the captain of the orc warrior with three men couldn't help but smile when they heard the words of the rabbit girl.

"Philo, you're congratulating us... What?"

Looking at Firo who was smiling at me in front of me, I asked suspiciously, to be honest, I didn't know what Firo was congratulating on......

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

Regus and Firo, who were standing in front of me and Wino when they heard my question, couldn't help but let out puzzled voices, as they looked incredulous at what I had just said.

"I said, boy, you're too... Slow down, aren't you?" said my father, the middle-aged lionman man who was standing behind Regus and Philo, in a strong voice.

"Haha~ It looks like you're really a little sluggish in this regard~ Look at your girlfriend, she's very shy now~" Just as the middle-aged lion man had just finished speaking, Fei Luo's mother took her lover's words and smiled happily at me and quipped.

[Partner, you're really a stupid guy~]

(Less...) Don't ramble out there!Fringeld !!)

After hearing what the two of them said to me, I instantly understood something, as I turned my head to see that Wino who was holding my hand was lowering her head and being silent at this time, Wino's face was full of shyness and embarrassment, she didn't dare to look at me when she lowered her head, but I clearly saw the expression on her face in addition to the expression of shyness and embarrassment, that should be the so-called "happiness", right?

"That...... Wino?"

Looking at Wino who was holding her hand and bowing her head and blushing, I didn't know what to say to comfort her for a while.

“......”

Wino, who bowed her head in response to my inquiry, didn't respond to me, but I could feel her grip on me grow a little heavier.

"Stupid boy, you should be half-kneeling down and proposing to your girlfriend!!" The middle-aged lion man said to me angrily.

As he spoke, Regus and Philo and their mothers, Temo, Gavi, and the orc captain with three of his men standing behind me, all looked at me and Wino and laughed happily.

"Eh, eh, Getting married?!! wouldn't it... It's too early......"

After hearing what the middle-aged lion-man man said, Vino, who was standing next to me and blushing, exclaimed as if she had heard something terrible, and her face was as red as a pomegranate with a panicked expression.

"It's okay to confess, just say to her, 'I love you!', 'Please marry me!' and that's fine, just pass on your heart to your girlfriend." After all, get married~ You can't be too anxious~" Just when I was feeling overwhelmed by this, Firo's mother, a rabbit woman in quite revealing clothes, said with a smile on my face.

I seemed stunned when I saw Wino's reaction just now.

......

Bad... Pretty bad!

What am I going to do?

Do you really want to say such things to Wino?

Damn, but how am I going to confess to Wino?

To know the present... I've lost all my emotions now......

I don't have any emotions... How do you confess to Wisno?!

......

If you don't know how to confess to your girlfriend because you don't have emotions, let me help you. ］

As I was overwhelmed by my inability to confess to Wino, Fringeld's voice sounded in my head like a dawn that pierced the darkness.

(You said you wanted to help me...) But how can you help me, mate?)

I asked Fringard in a voice that was so flat that I couldn't feel any emotion.

[I can briefly recover one of your lost emotions, but this is time-limited, and once that time limit is exceeded, you will be hit by the emotions generated by Incomplete Combat Madness.] Even so, would you like me to help you?]

Hearing my rhetorical question, Fringard explained to me in a serious voice how he could help me and the possible side effects of helping me recover for a short time.

(Partner, I'm willing to accept your help.) ）

I didn't seem to hear the side effects of Fringeld's words, and I was sure of him.

[Okay~ Since you have said so, then I will help you restore your lost emotional "love"! You have to remember one thing, the time limit is only ten minutes.] ］

Hearing my affirmation, Fringard let out a cheerful laugh to me.

As soon as Fringeld's words fell, I felt that I had no emotion in my heart, as if I felt some extremely incredible feeling, and when I felt this feeling, my still heart was fluctuating slightly.

Looking at the slightly reddened and embarrassed expression on Wino's face, the beating heart in my body was beating inexplicably faster at this moment......

Is this called nervousness? I haven't experienced it in a long time......

"Shhhh

I took a deep breath to pluck up my courage, and I smiled at Wino as she stood beside me, holding her hand, and smiled at her with a slightly serious look. Wino seemed to notice my serious smile on her, and her expression, which was still embarrassed, instantly became panicked.

The Regus family and Temo who were standing next to me and Wino smiled expectantly when they saw the delicate atmosphere between me and Wino, and they could tell that they were waiting for me to confess to Wino.

I used my right hand to slowly lift Wino's left hand, which I was holding with little strength, and I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when I looked at Wino's evenly lined left hand, and then looked at Wino's face that was still red from shyness.

"Treat me... It's okay to be rude......" At that moment, Wino suddenly looked up at me and said to me.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I heard what Wino had just said.

"Wino. ”

As if I had made up my mind and mustered up courage, I called Wino's name in a moderate and affectionate voice.

"Yes!"

Hearing me call her name, Wino looked at me with her own eyes, her expression still a little embarrassed and shy... But at this time, there was still an expectation on her face about how I was going to confess to her.

Looking at the expectant expression on Wino's face, I gently looked at Wino's slightly red cheeks and the back of my left hand, and only a second passed before I decisively opened my mouth to confess to her in a soft voice.

"Wino, I like ......"

（......？！）

Before I could say the last word of "I like you", I stopped my hand as if I had been electrocuted, and let go of my grip on Wino.

"Tut?" Wino asked suspiciously, seeing my move.

"Captain Tut, what's going on?" even Regus and Firo, who were standing on the sidelines, asked in unison when they saw me let go of the werewolf sister's hand.

This one... Smell?

Is it blood?

"Boy, what's wrong with you?" asked the middle-aged lionman standing behind Regus and Philo in a calm voice after seeing the solemn expression on my face.

This smell...... Looks like an orc I know?

But I can't remember who it was for a while......

"Why are you putting on that horrible expression?" asked the rabbit woman standing next to the middle-aged lion man after noticing the solemn expression on my face.

The taste of blood......

...... It's getting closer!

[Partner, a couple of nasty guys are coming your way...... ］

Fringeld's voice reminded me like a maze of answers, and I heard his reminder and looked my gaze ahead of me as I smelled the smell of blood.

"Yo~ Everyone is here!"

A voice that sounded like a mockery came from in front of me, and the moment I heard it, I walked up to Wino and protected her behind me.

I'm familiar with the owner of this sound, and the owner of this voice is Captain Kid of the vigilante team who captured me and sent me to the "Dark Tooth Prison", and I don't have any good feelings about him... It's better that I'm a little disgusted with him.

Walking in the distance of the street ahead, Kid seemed to see the old acquaintances of Temo and them, and the smile on his face became even more mocking, and when he saw the goblin warrior standing in front of Temo and them, the corners of his mouth were hooked even more, and he was looking at the filthy goblin he had been looking at like garbage.

"Isn't this the hero who stopped the 'Kech Duel'?

As soon as Cade said this, many of the orc residents passing by this street looked at me in surprise, and I frowned slightly as they looked at the orc residents who looked at me with surprised eyes.

Seeing Kid walking towards me and the ten security warriors he was carrying, Temo and Gavi standing behind me, and the captain who led the three orc warriors stood decisively in front of me, staring at Cade and the others who were still walking with grim eyes. The Regus family standing next to me, the middle-aged lion man who was my father, did not hesitate to stand in front of his family and confront Temo and the others who were still walking together.

Wino, who was standing behind me, looked at my stiff back, her expression became worried, you must know that a few days ago, after her favorite goblin stopped the "Kech Duel", she was captured by the vigilantes of Ked and sent to the Inquisition Council and exiled to the forbidden land "Lesa Jega".

Tut was really happy when he came back from the forbidden land, but she was worried again when she saw that nasty guy from Kold, in case Tut was ...... What will she do then? Will she be helpless to watch as Tut is captured by Ked?

When she thought of this, Wino's worried expression became even more worried about Tut, and to be honest, she was afraid of losing Tut again......

Looking at the back of Tut standing in front of him, the goblin warrior she liked, Wino stretched out her right hand to Tut with her back to her with trepidation, and when her right hand was about to touch Tut's shoulder, she stopped her hand in a tangled way.

"Wino. I'm sorry, but I couldn't tell you about it. ”

"It's alright, Tut. I don't blame you......"

"Yes. ...... Then I'll confess to you after this matter is dealt with. ”

"Hmm!"
