“It’s been a long time, Master. You’ve become quite cute again.”
The strongest staff I used in my previous life was the Holy Dragon Staff Lindwurm. It was also an intelligent weapon, it was able to communicate with me through telepathy. Apparently, it sensed my resurrection and rushed to me itself.
What a loyal staff it is.
(I’m so happy that I feel like I’m about to burst into tears…)
『……Wasn’t it Master who set it up before he dies so that I will automatically fly to you even after reincarnation?』
(Oh-, was that so?)
Anyways, it’s my beloved staff. I don’t know how many years have passed, but it looks exactly the same as it did then.
“I almost gone into dormant mode so I don’t know exactly how long it has been.”
Hundreds or even thousands of years? As expected, even I couldn’t determine the time after reincarnation.
“Grrrrrrr!”
Oops, now is not the time to get too emotional because of our reunion.
『This manticore is so annoying! Leave it to me, Master.』
The Holy Dragon Staff Lindwurm is a beautiful white staff that is crystal clear. Its tip is designed to resemble a dragon’s head.
『Disappear』
The dragon head at the tip of the staff opened its mouth, then a tremendous breath of light was released from it.
“~~~~~~!?”
It obliterates the head of the manticore in an instant. The headless giant slowly fell to the ground.
(As expected of you, Linlin.)
『……Please don’t call me that. Anyway, Master, why are you in such a place? Weren’t you born to new parents?』
I told Lindwurm how I had been so far.
『I see. It was a disaster, isn’t it?』
(Mmm, but I don’t hold a grudge against the parents of this new body. Rather, I think it was a relief to be free. A child from an aristocratic family is kind of troublesome you see.)
It’s just that I think it was too soon that I got free.
『Well, Master, with me here, you don’t have to worry about those monsters. But, you can’t prepare milk, can you?』
I know that! If I don’t get milk somehow, I’ll starve to death eventually.
“Uwaa-uaah”
I raised my short left arm and then I used a spell.
(Magic Drain)
Then, the magic gathered from around me and it was absorbed into my left arm. Since my capacity was low from the beginning, the magic power that had been depleted was fully restored in a blink of an eye.
Magic Drain is a magic absorption magic. Originally, it was used against opponents who use magic, but I improved it so that it could also be used to collect magical power from the surrounding space. Now that my magical power has recovered, the next step is body strengthening magic.
“Uwaa-uaah”
I stand up in the box. Good, even with this fragile baby’s body, I managed to get up by myself. It’s a bit squishy underfoot, but I’ll get used to it eventually.
(Alright. Let’s go find a village and get milk.)
『……Master, in what world is there a baby who goes to get milk alone?』
(Huh? Is that no good?)
『Please think of it this way. All of a sudden, a baby who is only a few days old comes to your house alone and asks questions. From the other party’s point of view, it must be tremendously scary you know.』
Is it like that? It can’t be helped then. Let’s take a look for it in this forest then. Luckily, Lindwurm is here so we should be able to deal with the monsters.
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆
As it was said to be a demon domain, it is a forest with a high concentration of magical power. Thanks to this, the magic absorption efficiency is very good, and even if I use body enhancement magic strongly, my magic power is not be depleted.
The most important way to increase your magic power is to use it. As long as I’m in this forest, I’m sure my magic power will increase steadily. I seemed to be getting used to my immature body as well. I am now able to walk quite normally.
“Shaaaaaah!!”
“Your in the way.”
“~~~!?”
The monsters that tried to attack me are defeated by Lindwurm. By the way, Lindwurm follows me while floating in the air so I don’t have to carry it. On the contrary, it burns down the vegetation in the direction of my journey to make it easier for me to walk.
My staff is really useful. Fufu.
『But Master, is it really possible to get milk in a forest like this?』
(There is no need to worry about it. Look at that.)
『That’s…』
With my little finger, I pointed to a wolf monster that was even bigger than the manticore before. Its whole body is jet black but there is a crescent-shaped yellow hair around its forehead. Unlike orcs and manticores, it is a kind of monster I don’t know about. Well, it must have been at least hundreds of years since then, so it wouldn’t be surprising if there were monsters now that didn’t exist at the time.
The wolf monster was lying on a rock, probably breastfeeding, and the little wolves were huddled around her belly.
『Don’t tell me…. You don’t mean to get milk from that monster, do you?』
Um? That was my intention though…
