Changes on Rir (1)
“Nfu～”
“…What is it, Lyuu?”
Layla asked her colleague, who was smiling and looking happy, but not saying anything, as she turned her face away from her in embarrassment.
“Nothing, really. I’m just kind of happy. Something is making me really happy.” (Lyuu)
“I see. I’m glad you’re happy.” (Layla)
“Well, I haven’t felt this happy since yesterday, like the time when I folded the laundry and felt that I had improved!” (Lyuu)
“Indeed, it’s been a while since you have reported your improvement, and that is certainly an achievement…” (Layla)
“That’s naive, Layla! It’s true that I have recently improved. But not only that, the previous events have really made me happier!” (Lyuu)
“I see. I’m happy for you as a friend… and, well, as a family member, also.” (Layla)
Layla choked on her words and said so with a little embarrassment, and Lyuu, unable to bear it any longer, unintentionally hugged the sheep-horned girl.
“~~! Why is Layla so cute? I’m not Nell, but even I want to hug you like this!”
“Hey, hey, it’s hot, Lyuu!”
“I’m so emotional right now! I can’t be stopped by anything right now!”
“Jeez, don’t treat me like I’m Yuki-san!”
“We are all influenced by husbands to a greater or lesser extent!”
After exchanging such jokes, Lyuu’s expression suddenly changed, and she spoke with a somewhat satisfied look on her face.
“But, Layla…I’m really happy. So…I’m happy for you, Layla.”
Wiping away the tears, Layla’s heart was touched by Lyuu’s gentle smile.
Her heart had been beating so passionately for some time.
“When did I become so emotional?” thought Layla
Unexpectedly, Layla took both of Lyuu’s hands in hers.
“…Lyuu, I am not a lovable woman. I’m a helpless woman who, until I arrived here, put the pursuit of knowledge first and foremost, and didn’t know how to be considerate of others. Even so…I am happy to be here with you guys…”
The girl with the sheep horns and the girl with the beast ears looked at each other. Both of them had tears in the corners of their eyes.
“…Once again. I’m looking forward to working with you from now on, Lyuu.”
“Yes!”
–And then, when the conversation was over, Layla suddenly looked at Lyuu’s tail, which was wagging happily, and at her ears, which were twitching.
“…Speaking of which, as long as we are family, it is correct to say that Lyuu’s ears and tail are mine, right?”
“Wahyah, hey, what happened, all of a sudden!?”
Suddenly, Layla touched Lyuu’s tail as if she was stroking it, and Lyuu who was startled tried to escape.
“In this family, we have a family tradition that a family member’s body part is also another family member’s, right? So, I think I’ll be allowed to touch this part a lot from now on, as if it is mine.”
“Ugh, hey, hey…! I never thought Layla would come out with such hands… when did you get so strong, Layla…!”
“Uuhuhu, I’ve been in this house just as long as you have, I have also improved!”
The two continued to play with each other…

I walked away from Lefi, who was smirking and trying to look at my face.
“What’s the matter, Yuki? Your dear, dear wife is trying to look at you like this. Why are you running away? Come on, show me your beautiful eyes.”
“Because I love her, my dear, dear wife. I am too nervous to look her in the face. She understands, right?”
“Oh, you. You don’t have to worry about it now. I love all of you. I love everything about you, your faults, your shyness, everything.”
“Shut up! You’re grinning at me so clearly…! I’ll say it without decoration, you irritating idiot!”
“Oh, you’re a terrible husband. But this is also a weakness of being in love. I can not hate you no matter what you say to me… This difference in position is the source of domestic violence…”
“What are you talking about?”
Lefi cried out in a fake crying voice, and I took a moment to respond.
Violence against Lefi was the most meaningless act in the world.
I mean, she’d probably just strike back at me.
And in the end, it would be me who would be beaten to a pulp.
“You don’t understand. Even if there are no scars in my body, there will be a scar in my heart from the violence. You must not take that for granted.”
“You are a mental gorilla, you know that?”
“…Hpmh. I do not know what a gorilla is, but I understand the intention of your words.”
“No, no, no, wait! Gorilla means delicate like a flower! Lefi, what I’m saying is that you are delicate, like a flower!”
“I see. And so, what does ‘Gorilla’ really mean?”
“Gorilla is a muscular, macho animal.”
“Mm, good, I see, it seems like you are now honest about it. Well then, I’ll forgive you, however, in exchange, let me break that arm.”
“Oh, come on, try it! I will not yield to unjust violence, I will fight my oppressor with my faith!”
“Who’s the oppressor, who?”
And as Lefi put me in an arm lock, I reached my destination.
It was Rir’s bed.
“Phew, there you are… Hey, Rir, and Rir’s wife. Good morning.”
“”Kuu.””
The two Fenrirs, who had apparently been waiting for me, growled in return, as if to say hello.
Mm, fluffy and silky, the best match.
Oh, the fur of Rir’s wife was just different.
Compared to the soft and fluffy Rir, her fur was smooth and silky.
Fenrirs had individual differences.
It was interesting because they were quite different and could be distinguished at a glance.
The body of Rir’s wife was smaller than Rir, but it would still be easy to tell them apart even if Rir’s ‘Body Change’ skill made him the same size as his wife.
Lefi and Mrs. Rir started to have some kind of female conversation.
“Rir wife, it’s been a while. Your hair is as silky and nice as ever.” (Lefi)
“Kuuu”
“Kakaka, mmm, we bathe every day. You should come and join us.” (Lefi)
“Kuu?”
“Yes, of course. It is natural for a woman to want to clean herself up. It would make Rir happy.” (Lefi)
“Kuuu”
“Don’t worry about it. We have only known each other for a short time, but you are Rir’s wife. Don’t be shy.” (Lefi)
I had heard that Lefi and Mrs. Rir had met each other while I was away, but they seemed to be quite friendly.
I guess they wanted to get along well with each other.
Today, we came out to the magical forest to see how Rir was doing.
Apparently, there had been some changes in Rir while we were gone, so we came to check on him.
Lefi came along to see Rir’s wife.
She said she planned to come over from time to time to talk to her, since she was our neighbor and also a relative in a way.
…Whatever, regarding our neighbors, all of them were non-humans.
An indigenous dragon race living in a demon forest, and a wolf.
After all this time, I could only say that I live in a fantastical environment.
“So…hmm, surely your fur is even better than before? I’ve heard there’s been some changes in you…”
Beside the girls, I called out to my pet.
It had been a while… not really, but Rir’s fluffy fur was shinier compared to a dozen or so days ago before we went away.
We spent time together every day, so there was no mistaking it.
He was already the best fluffy dog I’ve ever seen, but now his fluffy fur was even better, super fluffy.
I couldn’t help but get myself indulged in this fluffiness.
Well, if someone talked to me like that, I’d probably get annoyed and punch them.
“Kuu.”
To my words, Rir seemed to be saying, “No, actually… there’s been a bigger change.”
“Oh…? What happened?”
“…Kuu.”
He then motioned, “…it would be quicker if you could see it,” and Rir showed it to me.
