Chapter 168: It’s unmistakably a real baby

I used magic to turn the Meltera statue’s modest breasts into huge ones. I’m sure she’s very satisfied with this in the afterlife.

(She might think I did something unnecessary, though.)

Moreover, by using a different material from the other parts, the softness of the breast was also reproduced. In the end, although it was not possible to fondle the real thing in the previous life, I should have managed to get pretty close.

『…… I’m sure she’s enraged.』

“No, no. She must be so happy that she is crying tears of joy now.”

『You mean, dead man tell no tales……right?』

“Oh well, let talk about this magic stone that I’m curious about.”

Inside the airship, I pulled out a huge black magic stone from my subspace. In fact, in exchange for the small reward in the task, I was given some of the rare and valuable Ancient Treant materials and this is included in that.

Magic stone is a stone that contains a lot of magical power and is usually colored in blue, green or purple. It is often generated in the body of a monster and it is not strange that magic stones are found in the body of Ancient Treant.

“The problem is that this magic stone is the kind that can never be born from Ancient Treant. Or rather, this black magic stone doesn’t naturally arise in the first place.”

A type of magic stone that can only be artificially created. That’s what this black magic stone is.

“As expected, it’s the first one I created in the previous life.”

This black magic stone, which was successfully developed after much researh on magic stone, has a number of properties that are different from ordinary magic stones. But when I realized how dangerous it was, I stopped manufacturing it and I had gotten rid of everything I had in stock.

“When a monster eats this, it will grow rapidly. So much so that it evolves into its high-ranking species in a short period of time.”

『Does that mean that a treant became an Ancient Treant by absorbing this black magic stone into its body?』

“Mmm, that’s for sure. I thought it was odd. With the level of magical power in that area, it is highly unlikely that Ancient Treants would be born.”

“But why on earth was this black magic stone in such a place ……?”

『Maybe someone gave it to that treant?』

“Even if that’s the case, why did he have this magic stone? ……Or, maybe there was something left behind from the things I got rid off?”

I was running the airship on autopilot while pondering this big question. Then suddenly, a beep beep beep sound echoed in the wheelhouse.

“It looks like there’s something on the ground.”

Peeking through the glass on the floor, I saw a group of orcs. They surrounded a trio of adventurers.

“Hmmm, they are going to get killed if they stay like that.”

◇◇◇

“Haa- haa-…… How could we encounter a herd of orcs in a place like this!”

“Ugh. I have run out of stamina and healing items!”

“Escaping doesn’t seem possible either….”

Surrounded by five orcs, a group of female adventurers who had only recently been promoted to C rank were in a pinch. The all-female trio was a typical group consisting of a swordsman, a magician, and a thief. 

A single orc, rated as danger level C, would not be too difficult for a party of C-rank adventurers to deal with, but five of them at once would be a completely different story. Moreover, they had already reached the peak of their fatigue on their way back from destroying the goblin’s den which was the request they’ve taken.

“We’ll just get killed if we keep fighting like this! We have no choice but to break through and escape!”

“I-it’s all or nothing!”

“I don’t want to die yet.”

And that’s when it happened. 

—Suddenly, a fireball came out of nowhere and struck one of the orcs, sending its head popping off.

“W-what was that just now!?”

“Maybe it’s reinforcements!?”

“Great! We are now safe, right?”

Then they turned their gaze in the direction from which the fireball had fallen, and what they saw—

“…… Am I seeing things wrong? I …… I think I just saw a baby is floating in the air….”

“What a coincidence…… I can see the same thing.”

“It’s unmistakably a real baby.”

What they saw was a baby only a few months old.
