Chapter 533.1

Side Story: Hang in there, Doggie!

In the Demon Forest.

Rir was glaring at and observing [Huge Claw Wolf] brought by Yuki.

This monster was summoned by the enemy Senate President, but was able to survive and join Yuki’s side because it was able to determine in advance that it would never be a match for Yuki.

“...”

“...”

The Huge Claw Wolf was unable to move at all and was drenched in cold sweat as Rir gazed at it silently.

The difference in the magnitude of their presence was too great.

Since it was closer in species to Rir than Yuki, it could feel the difference in power even more strongly than when it was facing Yuki. It was unable to move due to the fear.

Not so long ago, when the wolf fought with many other monsters of the same rank to show its willingness to fight alongside Yuki, it considered that event a proper fight. However, the wolf could now tell that that fight was a mere child’s play for someone like Yuki.

The sense of intimidation radiating from the being in front of it made the wolf cower, and its instincts told it to flee from here.

However, it could easily imagine that if it did try to escape, it would be shredded to pieces and die, so it was desperately trying to suppress its instincts by gathering all its reasons.

And so, after finishing some observations, Rir started to talk about how to live in this forest.

First, the basic premise was that it must not attack humans proactively. If humans attacked it, it may intercept them, but if they were not hostile, let them go.

In particular, if you see juvenile humans, report it immediately.

This, of course, was with Yuki’s family in mind.

Illuna and the others have been strongly advised to always have Yuki, Lefi or Nell accompany them when they go out into the Demon Forest, so they were very strict about it.

However, to be extra safe, Rir also made the monsters under him understand that a part of their Master’s family was part of the humanoid races.

Anyone who fails to comply with guidelines would be regarded as an enemy and would be eliminated immediately.

Unlike humans, monsters almost always followed the words of their superiors, and so far, not a single one of their subordinates had to be eliminated by Rir and the others.

This was an indication of the strong influence of the absolute authority of Rir.

When Yuki or his family was not around, Rir would usually display his nobility as a King of Monsters, but the moment Yuki got involved, his hardship as a middle-manager would always appear.
