Chapter 68
Please don't comment 'Waiting for the Next chapter'… like, seriously, it doesn't raise my motivation you know? I know I shouldn’t be caring about small things like this, but just don’t. Also, I probably can't post three chapters this week. Thanks for reading~
It should be fine to say that my conversation with the three tribes that aren't connected with the demon king has succeeded for the time being.
Since I especially needed to get along with the iron hog (tetsu cho) tribe that is guarding Eve, I feel relieved.
Right now, I am returning to the residence we are borrowing through the bas.e.m.e.nt.
I am careful while going through the exit and entrance of the forest and I don't forget my disguise.
"At any rate, a human with contact to the demon king huh." (Kearuga)
Gaining this information can be called fortuitous.
I hadn't even considered it until now.
The lie that we will carry out our plan on a night with a crescent moon is showing effect.
During that time, I want to contact the【Sword Saint】Kureha somehow. If I slip out of the village somewhere and return all the way to Buranikka, the town where humans and demons coexist, it should work out.
Before that…
"I need to greet you, don't I." (Kearuga)
I stroke the egg that's in its dedicated backpack.
This child will probably be born soon.
Two days have pa.s.sed.
I was also helping the iron hog tribe to confirm the star rabbit tribe's betrayal.
If they are fast, they should be able to collect positive proof by the day after tomorrow.
"Kearuga-sama, look. It will be born soon." (Setsuna)
Setsuna is fixedly looking at the G.o.d bird's egg that has been placed on top of the cus.h.i.+on.
Eve, who is next to her, opens her mouth.
"I'm looking forward to it, but it's scary. It's a child that received influence from Kearuga after all. A dreadful thing will probably be born." (Eve)
"Yes, it is Kearuga-nii sama’s child after all." (Ellen)
The cherry blossom coloured sisters are also eagerly waiting for the birth of their new comrade.
The egg's movement has finally become more intense.
Right now, we are all intently watching the egg inside the house we are borrowing.
While swallowing saliva, everyone is watching over it.
We should chat while watching over it.
"About this G.o.d bird's egg, the truth is, it's not just absorbing my mind and mana. It's also absorbing the mind and mana of everyone near it. It seems that it's a glutton, so it wasn't satisfied from just my mind and mana." (Kearuga)
【Jade Eye】can see the flow of mana.
In short, this child is a child that received not just mine, but everyone else's influence.
"In short, this child is Setsuna and Kearuga-sama's child. … Happy. A real child isn't quite being made, but Setsuna's dream came true in this form. Next is working hard on a real one." (Setsuna)
Setsuna energetically swings her white tail, and decides an unthinkable matter.
If I wasn't using【Recovery Heal】as contraception, she would have become pregnant a long time ago.
I'm using contraception right now as it would be a inconvenience for a journey, but if I deal with the demon king, the hero of the【Gun】and destroy the Dioral Kingdom, making a child might be nice. I feel that making a child with Setsuna isn't that bad.
"I-, I don't particularly want a child with someone like you. But this child that will be born will be a newcomer. I will properly look after it. There's no deep meaning to why I'm going to pamper this child." (Eve)
Are you a tsundere!? Is what I retorted.
Contrary to her tone, Eve is looking at the G.o.d bird's egg with enthusiasm.
"That is nice. It is Kearuga-sama's child. Hearing that has made it increasingly adorable." (Freya)
"… I feel slightly complicated. I am happy about having a child with Kearuga-niisama, but since my mana is evidently insufficient, it feels like my ratio is low. I am jealous of everyone here who have an *absurd amount of mana." (Ellen) (TL Note: Mana idiot is the literal translation, but that probably doesn’t properly expresses what it means.)
Freya is calm as usual, and Ellen is subtly spitting out poison while holding a strange jealousy.
No, 30% might unexpectedly be big.
If it was just me, it would clearly become a monster
"I'm worrying too much." (Kearuga)
After becoming Freya and Ellen, they have become my obedient and cute possessions (pets). The egg was just distorted in the middle of its growth, and its true nature shouldn't be that bad. It shouldn't have that much negative influence.
At any rate, after hearing it has also received their influence, Setsuna and Co has become more interested in the monster that will be born from the G.o.d bird's egg.
The egg's crack became larger.
The sound of the egg being struck became stronger.
It's a quadrupedal beast type that has fluffy golden body hair which is tinged with red. The ends of its ears, hands and feet are black, as if it’s wearing socks.
That fluffy animal shakes its body and tail. Its tail is considerably splendid.
"Kearuga, this is my first time seeing this animal. What kind of monster is it?" (Eve)
"Setsuna knows. This child is a kitsune. A kitsune monster. Setsuna senses unbelievable power… it's probably stronger than Setsuna. As expected of Kearuga-sama and Setsuna's child." (Setsuna)
A kitsune was born.
On top of that, it's a kitsune cub. Strange.
From what I heard from Miru-jii, monsters of divinity aren't born young as they don't grow. They are born in a completed form from the start.
Despite that, it's strange that it's a child. Was the mana insufficient?
No, that's not it. I can tell without even using【Jade Eye】.
This child's power is tremendous. It seems this is not its young body.
Besides, it is too fluffy to be a kitsune cub.
Despite that, this child is already light brown coloured and is fluffy.
… This child is probably complete with this. It looks like a kitsune cub, but it seems to be a race with this appearance in the first place.
"Let me see, can you understand what I'm saying?" (Kearuga)
From what I heard, it becomes emotionally attached to the parent it took mind and mana from.
However, if it becomes an evil monster, it will even eat its parent to death.
This is slightly bad, I thought I would be able to calmly deal with it even if an evil monster is born, but this fellow is bad. It's too strong.
It is almost impossible to defeat it without being hurt.
Its round and cute eyes are lovely.
"Ko~n♪"
It jumps at me after raising a fawning voice.
It's warm, soft, and fluffy.
The kitsune cub started soundly sleeping in my arms.
It feels like my hardened heart is being healed. It's too cute.
"Kearuga-sama, let Setsuna stroke it too." (Setsuna)
"It is round, tiny and wonderful. I was expecting a cool child, but this is good in its own way." (Freya)
"Kearuga-niisama, I want to carry it in my arms!" (Ellen)
It seems to be greatly popular in the female camp as well.
… It's as if it knows what reaction will please them the most.
Since I am rebellious… wary, perfect things are what I doubt the most.
That being said, I wonder why such a child was born.
A harmless, friendly and cute monster is strange.
That reminds me, there are many kitsune monsters that can manipulate fire and illusions. Above all, they disguise themselves and are sly.
Are all these lovely actions an act?
When I think about it this way, I can understand why this kind of child was born.

It has a tremendous status, and its abilities and skills are excellent.
Purgatory magic is unfortunate though.
Since it is something that was evolved from fire magic by a skill, even I can't copy the ability.
"On top of being strong, it's a cunning fellow." (Kearuga)
By looking at it with【Jade Eye】, I have finally confirmed it.
I should get insurance. While the kitsune cub is desperately trying to please, I take the opportunity to change my abilities so that I specialize in magic.
I use a magic formula, which I based off of a slave's collar, for making a monster serve me
Without leaking any mana, I created the magic formula so it wouldn't be exposed.
I soak my blood in a unique magic needle that I prepared beforehand for ritual-use and stab it into the kitsune cub's heart. A binding magic formula for subordination was engraved on the kitsune cub's heart.
"Kyan-!!"
The kitsune cub raises a scream, and hops out of Ellen's arms.
However, the magic formula is completed.
Now this child can't run away from me, and it also can't hurt me.
I broadly grin while looking at its original expression.
It immediately returns its expression to normal. It's teary eyed as if saying『it hurts~』. And then, it tilts its head. Sly and cute. (TL Note: あざと可愛い = Sly + Cute combined… How am I supposed to translate this?)
"Koya~n…"
Incidentally, because the expression changed too quickly, the female camp didn't notice the expression this fellow showed.
"Kearuga-sama, abruptly using a needle is pitiful." (Setsuna)
"That's right, this child was surprised." (Eve)
Yeah, as expected of my monster. It has deceived everyone apart from me without fail and has already secured a position of being loved in the party.
This calculation level can actually be relied on. No matter how malicious it is, it is certainly cute, so I'll pamper it plenty later.
The kitsune cub is once again caught by the female camp who do nothing but pamper it.
It's feigning innocence, but there's nothing to criticize about its fighting power. I'll be relying on it plenty.
