23 Episode 23: Forest Sites, Eggs and Moffmoff

We crusaded the enchant plant, dismantling the body and packing it in a magic bag.

"I wouldn't be surprised how much you put in that bag."

And Liliera squeaks watching me put in the branch of the enchant plant.

"The amount of magic bags can be stored with the precision of the first procedure. This bag will fit a pile or so."

"Mountain"

Well, I didn't get very good material, so I could only make bags of this degree of capacity.

"Oh, if you want Liliera too, I'll make it."

"I want"

"Okay. Then I'll make it for you next time."

"I can do it in a little while..."

Well, the structure itself isn't that difficult.

◆

"I wonder if it's like this"

Finally, the Enchant Plant and I finally finished storing the Elder Plant took a breather.

I was just wondering if the Enchant Plant would be all right, but Mr. Lilliera has been strongly suggesting that the Elder Plant should also be brought back.

I don't think it's going to be much money though.

"Will you go home after you've made this neighborhood more comfortable?"

"Well, I'm surprised for another lifetime today, so I want to go home soon.... I feel surprised for the last few days for the rest of my life."

Haha, you're exaggerating.

"But I'm surprised that such a big demon was in the heart of this forest."

Liliera stared at the hole where the enchant plant had been until just now.

When the Enchant Plant rose, it was a hole made of its great roots being pulled out.

Naturally it's such a hole, so there's nothing inside.

On the contrary, there is a risk of collapse if it is bad.

"Unfortunately, if such a big man were sitting there, there could be no treasure at the center."

Uh, maybe when they say that.

One of the reasons I originally came here was the treasure hunt in the heart of the woods.

But what actually happened was not a treasure, but a demon of Oki, so I can't help but be disappointed.

"Uh, speaking of which, we're gonna have to keep it in the ground."

If we're going to make this the center of the street, we need to block the big hole that the enchant plant was made of when it broke out.

"Earth Shaker!"

I use the magic of the ground to flatten the surrounding ground.

"Wow, another earthquake!?"

"No, it's just magically even the ground. It looks like the roots of the enchanted plant were stretched deep, so it feels like an earthquake with soil poured into it."

I'm surprised to explain the landscape to Mr. Liliera.

"Wow, okay, but if all this ground rocked, wouldn't it be the same as an earthquake already?

"Haha, maybe when they say that,"

"I don't think it's funny..."

And that's when I found something strange on the ground that was getting even.

"Hmm? What are you talking about?

When I realized it, I interrupted the magic and ran over to it.

"What's going on?

Liliera asks me questions as she follows me.

"I saw something white over there."

"Huh? Where?

"I think I'm buried in the dirt now"

Coming to a place where I could see a white mass earlier, I discover it half buried in the soil.

"This is it."

When the soil on the surface is washed away by hand, a white object represents itself.

"What's this? Eggs?"

"Looks like it."

What we found was an egg about 30 cm in size.

"That's pretty big. Could it be a demonic egg or something?

"Considering this is the Forest of Warcraft, that's likely."

I don't know what to do. If this is a demonic egg, maybe you should crack the egg while you're at it.

That was when I thought so, the eggs suddenly swayed grassy.

"Huh!? What!?"

For a moment I thought the eggs had fallen out of balance, but apparently not.

Eggs continue to shake with gras today.

"Apparently it hatches."

"Is hatching okay?"

"You don't have to worry so much if you were born"

I understand Mr. Liliera's worries, but if she's just born, it's not hard to defeat even dangerous demons.

If you're a dragon egg or something, sometimes they attack you for meat the moment you're born, but dragon eggs aren't this small.

This would be another demon egg.

Even while we were talking that way, there was a piki and a crack in the egg, and at the next moment the shell bounced off the inside.

"This guy is surprisingly powerful."

An egg is also armor that protects the chick inside.

So it's normal for chicks to take the time to break the egg shell and come out, but he destroyed it with one blow.

To think about it, I decide that this demon will be powerful when it grows up.

"Mr. Liliera, stay back."

"Yeah, yeah."

As we were on guard, a demonic child appeared from inside the egg shell.

"... cu"

"Huh?"

What came out of it was a little moffy hairball.

There was no shard of horror at all in its appearance, and at first glance it was like a dog or cat with long hair breeds.

"Or cute!

And I heard Mr. Liliera from behind.

"It wasn't! What are you going to do with her?"

Um, yeah.

Being born near the heart of the forest means that he is likely to grow into a dangerous demon in the future.

Considering that, I should get rid of it by now...

"Cuuuu"

For some reason, I don't feel any danger from him.

I mean, I've never even seen a demon like this.

"Cuck!"

As I think about it, Moffmoff rubs against my feet.

Oh, I fell with my leg.

"Danger!!"

Mr. Liliera speaks up vigilantly.

"No, it's okay."

Moffmoff pushes his body against my leg.

"Maybe you think of me as a parent?

"Huh? What do you mean?

"I think it's probably the same habit as bird chicks to think of the moving things you see in the beginning as parents. There are demons of that kind, and they have a vocation to raise and obey such demons since they were eggs."

"Heh, I have a profession like that"

"Gyu ~"

Moffmoff is wrapped around my leg and has a sweet bite.

This is definitely just twisted.

"It's not necessarily a dangerous demon, and let's just say we see how it goes"

"Does that mean you're gonna have that kid?

"Isn't that good? That's all I miss. I think it's okay if we don't attack humans among our children."

"Are you sure you're okay?

"Gyu ~ Gyu ~"

When I was talking to Mr. Liliera, not only did Moffmoff sweetly bite my leg, but he started to catch on.

"What's wrong with you?

When I peel off the moffs clinging to my feet, I hold them against my chest.

Then she bit me sweetly. [M]

"Hey, isn't that possible that I recognize you as food?

"Well, you're so weak to bite, aren't you?

Haha, if you're so weak and you're seriously attacking me, this guy won't survive in this forest.

Nevertheless, it may be true that you want rice.

Does that mean it's an appeal to me to bite me?

"Oh, just fine. Shall we have dinner then?"

If you look around you can see the shadows moving from time to time in the woods.

Apparently, with the Enchant Plant gone, demons came who thought this place was safe.

"I'll have dinner ready in a minute, just give me a minute"

"Cuun?"

I pull out my sword and run toward the woods, holding Mohmov as a kyoton.

And for every killer plant around him, he tore apart the shadows in the woods.

A bunch of killer plants make noises with Zuzun and fall down to Domino defeat.

"Khuuung!?"

Oops. Sounds like you surprised Moffmoff. Sorry. I'm sorry.

And when the killer plant fell and looked around in the woods with a better view, there was a flock of orgabears that had their torso cut in two up and down.

"Yeah, it's a big hunt. Come on, eat."

I'll put Moffmoff down by Augabear's body. [M]

"Cu, cu..."

Then, for some reason, Moffmoff started to make chorochokes and leak his pee when he wondered if he had rocked his body into small pieces.

"Is that it? Maybe you wanted to pee, not dinner?

"... I don't think so"

◆

"Cuun."

I woke up.

I am the supreme being born in this land, the king of the world.

Be king of every beast, predator of every beast.

I understood instinctively that I was such a being.

***********

I heard voices.

It's not the voice of my people, it's the sound of food.

Hmm, I don't know if it's on my diet as soon as I'm born.

No, is this a sign that I am the king of my birth?

Even heaven offers everything for me.

When I slam the wall in the way, I go out quickly.

Hmm, the smell of burning is not bad wind.

*********

I heard voices again.

I haven't seen him since he was just born, but I can understand that this is the sound of prey.

My body trembles in my first struggle at birth.

My flesh desires battle.

I feel like I'm shaking too much for that.

Whoa, you're just born, so you're still having trouble moving your body.

But nothing is wrong.

Because there's nothing that can't penetrate my fangs, and there's nothing that can't rip through my nails.

Come on, first prey, receive the honor of becoming my flesh!

Aguagu... aguagu...

Or, no bite!?

Whoa! What's going on?

There's nothing that can't penetrate my fangs!

Then it's nails!

Kakari... Kakari...

Wow! I can't rip it off!!

Why!? Why!? You're my strongest predator, aren't you, Mummer!!

No, calm down. It's me.

I'm sure this prey has very hard scales and skin.

Then you attack for a thinner spot on the target!

No matter how tough enemies are, they can't be invincible.

That's what my instincts say!

And just in time, the prey lifted me up.

You idiot! I didn't expect you to miss your enemies!

This is your weakness. Ah!

I followed my instincts to attack enemy weaknesses.

haha gu...... hahmm......

No, no, no, no!

Ooh... I'm with me...

*******

The prey is saying something.

At the same time, my senses sense the presence of another prey around me.

Mmm, this looks like a pretty powerful prey.

I may struggle with my newborn.

If you were analyzing the enemy's power, for example, the prey would head toward a new enemy while holding me.

This guy, what are you going to do?

That was the moment I thought so.

The prey suddenly stretched out a long, sharp nail.

And he tore apart the enemies that were around him in an instant.

Just for a moment, during that moment, the enemies that were around disappeared.

And I will be brought down to the scene of the killing.

Oh, they're gonna kill me, too?

Am I supposed to be dead?

******

The beginning of the execution was announced.

Chorochoro...

Oh, pee leaked.
