“By the way, Ren,” The Galhala Queen suddenly called out Druid Oz.

“Hm?” (Druid Oz)

“Will you join us in the next meeting? You have been avoiding the meeting lately, is there any problem going on?” Asked the Galhala Queen.

“Ah… I’ve been wanting to ask the same thing for a while, glad the queen mentioned it. Is there any reason why you didn’t want to go to any meeting lately, Ren?” Asked the prime minister, Allomere, as well.

“Yea, considering the amount of help you’ve contributed to the kingdom, I believe all of them had accepted your existence now, Ren,” (The Galhala King)

“Um… It’s not like there is any problem… It’s just that, their gazes… It seems that I couldn’t really stand their gazes, I guess…?” Answered Druid Oz with a wry smile.

Every time there is any conference of a military meeting of the kingdom, when there is Druid Oz present, the nobles and generals will give Druid Oz various kinds of gazes. Some of them gave him a curious gaze, some of them gave him a gaze filled with scorn for taking away the general princess, while the rest gave him a gaze that made him felt like he became their prey.

The queen and the prime minister, Allomere, could roughly understand what Druid Oz meant by his words, but for the Galhala king…

“HAHAHAHA! That’s not good, Ren! You must be able to withstand any kind of gaze if you’re a ruler!!” said him enthusiastically.

“Dear…” (The Galhala Queen)

“*Sigh!*” (The Prime Minister, Allomere)

The prime minister, Allomere, and the queen could only let out a small sigh because of the insensitivity of the Galhala King.

“Well, anyways. Let’s conclude the discussion. Then all of us agree to let the nobles handle the first wave of the attack while ordering them to use sacrificial pawns to trigger the traps first. For the second wave, we’ll be attacking them with our full force, we’ll commence our attack in three days. Your approval, your majesty?” The prime minister, Allomere, reluctantly asked for the approval of the Galhala King.

“Yes! I approve of your strategy!! Whatever strategy that the three of you come out together must be the best one, after all!!” The Galhala King laughed heartfully.

“Then, since my stupid husband had approved it. Let’s call it a day and rest. Ren, please have some rest. You and Allomere had been working so much these days. Let yourself get pampered by Claria and rest,” said the Galhala Queen as she winked her left eyes towards Druid Oz.

“S-Stupid!?” (The Galhala King)

“Y-Yes… I-I’ll take your words, mother…” (Druid Oz)

While at the same time…

(Why the hell are you staring at me with such deadly eyes, old owl!? Blame the queen! Not me!) (Druid Oz)

Druid Oz couldn’t help but shiver as the prime minister, Allomere, staring daggers at him because of the Galhala Queen’s words. Of course, Druid Oz has no intentions of doing anything to Claria, but it seems that the Galhala Queen’s words had given the prime minister a misunderstanding.

“Well, I’ve decided to agree and support your marriage with Claria as well. Let’s quickly wrap the problem with the demons and hold your marriage as soon as possible,” The prime minister, Allomere, said a rather unexpected thing.

“Fufufu! So the overprotective and doting grandfather had finally shown his consent~ How wonderful~” (The Galhala Queen)

“HAHAHAHA!! True! True! I can’t wait to see my grandchildren!!” (The Galhala King)

(Do I don’t even have any right to sound my opinion here…?) (Druid Oz)

When the meeting finished, it is still afternoon. But somehow, Druid Oz felt like his body is already filled with so much fatigue.

(Does yesterday’s battle fatigue finally showed up now…?) (Druid Oz)

Transforming into his owl form, Druid Oz flew to his house. Some of the familiars he stationed in the backyard of the house as the ‘vigilant’ group of the capital are playing with each other, some of them are training with each other, while the rest of them are having a rest.

When Druid Oz get near to the house, they sensed Druid Oz’s presence and went to the front of the house, waiting for him. When Druid Oz arrived and transformed back into his Druid form, his familiars get near to him as all of them asked him to pet them.

Looking at the scene, Druid Oz couldn’t help but smile as the behavior of his familiars soften his heart and soothe his mind.

(Nature is great medicine for both mind and heart, isn’t it…?) (Druid Oz)

Druid Oz spends his time leisurely petting and satisfying his familiars that had been facing dangers ever since they get summoned to the Galhala Kingdom.

It’s a miracle that Druid Oz hasn’t lost any of his familiars yet, and of course, he doesn’t have any intention of losing any of them since the beginning. Different from the summoned insects, his magic beast familiars are intelligent and each of the individuals has their own personality.

Unlike any other wild magic beasts that roam around the forest of the Eastaria continent, Druid Oz’s magic beast has a solid kinship. They’re intimate towards each other and protect each other, it’s not only amongst their species, but every familiar are intimate and protect each other.

Maybe it’s because all of them are Druid Oz’s familiars that they made all of them had a sort of connection towards each other, but the scene of how they’re harmoniously live, play, and train each other made Druid Oz remember about the Tarot Empire.

There are still some small fights that occasionally occur around them, but those who fight with each other will reconcile and get even closer than before. Druid Oz felt like he’s watching over some elementary kids fighting with each other.

After finished satisfying the magic beasts, Druid Oz thought that it’s now time for him to pamper the cubs. But when Druid Oz raise his body and was about to walk towards the main door of the mansion, the figure of a girl holding a cub of a frost lion in her hands entered Druid Oz’s view.

She’s staring at Druid Oz with full of smiles as she gently caresses the frost lion’s cub on her hand.

“C-Claria…” Druid Oz muttered the name of the girl.

“Welcome home, Ren,” said the girl with a big smile.

The scene made Druid Oz felt warmth envelopes his heart, but at the same time, fear and anxiety covered it as well. But different from before, this time, he decided that he’ll become the temporary replacement for the original Oz. Since he also bears the soul of the original Oz, then it means that all of his actions are also the actions that the original would take, so rather than cowering and running away from reality, it would be best if he takes to fulfill his role perfectly.

“I’m home,” (Druid Oz)

Just as Druid Oz slowly walks and approaches Claria, Claria suddenly got a sudden attack from a small figure that dashed towards her head.

“C-Charnia!?” Claria exclaimed in surprise.

“What with this ‘newlyweds’ atmosphere!?!? I don’t like it!! I don’t like it!!!!” Protested Charnia.

“W-What are you saying!?” said Claria as a hint of redness start to appear on her face.

“Now, now. Let’s enter the house first,” said Druid Oz as he stopped their fight and lead them to the mansion.

When they arrived at the mansion, There are two frost lions and two direwolves standing near the mansion’s main door like bodyguards, while Gor greets them from inside as if he’s the butler of the mansion. This time, there are four female mountain gorillas that serve as Gor’s subordinates.

With his hands, Gor gives a sign that he’s going to make some food for them. With a nod, Druid Oz claps and takes the attention of the magic beast cubs that are playing with each other.

Each species of the magic beast cubs eat has their huge bowl where their food will be put as they’ll eat together. By eating together like that, they learn to share with each other, and get closer with each other.

“So? Why are you here, Claria?” Asked Druid Oz.

“What? Am I not welcome here?” Claria asked him back.

“Well, it’s not that you’re not welcome here. But aren’t you supposed to be at the barrack and supervise the soldiers? We’re going to war, after all,” said Druid Oz)

“I’m having a free day. There are other generals that had already taken over my position to supervise their training. So I’m having a day off,” (Claria)

“I see… Then we’re on the same boat. Let’s rest together today,”
