“Thank you, oneechan.”

“You’re welcome. But…. what should I do now?”

Perhaps she thought that she couldn’t leave a baby alone, the girl furrowed her eyebrows a little worriedly.

“Perhaps, is Fana-oneechan an adventurer?”

“Hmm. That’s right.”

“Then, I wonder if you are going to the Adventurer’s Guild now?”

“I’m going. You are quite perceptive.”

“Well, I want to be an adventurer.”

“I see. Good luck.”

“Mmm. That’s also why I want you to take me to the Adventurer’s Guild.”

“Do you want to visit?”

“No. I’m going to register as an adventurer.”

“………… At that age?”

Anyway, I ended up being taken to the Adventurer’s Guild. What came into view is a fairly sturdy three-story building. Once inside, the smell of sweat and alcohol hits my nose. There seemed to be a tavern attached to it, and the adventurers who had finished their work were already having a drink there. The lobby of the guild was quite noisy, but their gaze gradually gathered on us.

“Look, it’s Miss Fana.”

“She’s as beautiful as ever… I want to get close to her.”

“Haha, you’ll just get a kick and that’s the end of it.”

“I didn’t hear any rumors about her with a man though.”

“She’s been doing it solo for a long time now. I guess she is not interested in people, let alone men in the first place.”

“That’s possible. Hn? Isn’t she holding something?”

“That’s… a b-baby!?”

“D-Don’t tell me… she has a child!?”

Apparently, Fana-oneechan is well-known among adventurers. She’s certainly beautiful, and it’s not surprising that there are many men who want to get close to her. Thanks to that, we attracted attention.

But Fana-oneechan looked unconcerned and she just carried me all the way to the reception desk.

“Ilia”

“Oh, Fana-san, how can I help you today?”

The person who responded was another beautiful receptionist. Her name is Ilia huh.

“It’s not me, it’s this child.”

 Saying that, Fana-oneechan put me on top of the counter.

“Oh my, what a cute baby.”

 The receptionist’s face beams at me.

“He is so cute. Yosh, Yoosssh.”

It appears that she likes children, she strokes my head and she baby talks at me.

“Right. What’s the matter with this child?”

“I picked him up outside the city.”

“…… Did you pick him up?”

“Yes, he just suddenly talked to me.”

“He talked to you….? Ah-, his mother asked Fana-san to raise him because she couldn’t raise him on her own…”

“No. This kid talked to me.”

“……Ah?”

“He wants to be an adventurer he says.”

“Uhm… I don’t really get what you’re saying…”

 She seemed confused, so I opened my mouth to explain myself.

“Receptionist onee-chan, I want to be an adventurer, can I register?”

“Fufufu, I’m sorry my dear. You have to wait until you are a little older… Eh? W-Wait…, t-the baby just… he just talked!!!?”

The receptionist was so shocked that she almost fell out of her chair.

“H-Hey, w-w-what’s going on….!?”

“As you can see, this child is a gutsy one.”

“You-, this outrageous matter…. you just said, he’s gutsy…?”

I asked the receptionist, who looked perplexed.

“There is no age limit for adventurer registration, right?”

“C-Certainly. Anyone can take the exam, but….… Even if you did, I don’t think you could pass…”

“Exam? Is there an exam to become an adventurer now?”

“What do you mean now…?”

When I asked for details, it appears that to become an adventurer, one needs to pass two exams: practical and a written one. In my previous life, all I had to do was go to the reception desk and become an adventurer.

“Is there an age limit for the exam?”

“Well, there’s no limit, but it’s too unheard of for a baby to take it… Can I check with the Guild Leader for a moment? No, if you don’t mind, will you come with me? If I just talk about it, he’ll never believe it you see.”

“Alright. Then please take me to the Guild Leader.”

 I said so and then I jump off the counter.

“Ah! It’s dangerous—”

“It’s okay.”

“……”

 When I landed firmly, the receptionist muttered,

“Really, what’s with this baby…?”

“It’s about time.”

I’ve been flying in the sky while riding on my beloved staff for several hours. I had crossed quite a few towns and villages, so I must have already gone outside of my native territory.

“Oh, I can see the city over there. It looks just right.”

It’s not a big city, but it’s of a decent size. I’m sure there’s an Adventurer’s Guild there as well. We are approaching the city gate below. The guards seemed to be checking to see if any suspicious people were entering or leaving the city.

『Master, are you planning to enter the city in that form?』

(That’s what I intended to do, but… Is it a bad idea?)

『If a two-month-old baby is walking alone and is trying to pass through the checkpoint at the entrance, it would cause a bit of a commotion.』

(That being said, I’m going to be an adventurer in this city for a while though. They have to get used to it, right?)

『……Maybe? But, why don’t you just use transformation magic?』

(No! It’s such a waste to suddenly turn into an adult when I got to start over as a baby.)

Well, Linlin is right though. It’s certainly troublesome if this turns into a commotion.

(Hmmm… what to do? Oh-, good. I just found the right person in the right place.)

Once I landed on the ground, I called out to the oneechan in front of me as she walked along the street.

“Hey, oneechan over there.”

“……?”

She looked around nervously but she couldn’t find anyone, so she tilted her head in confusion.

“Here, here. I’m here. Please look at your feet.”

“……Baby?”

She is a girl in her late teens. She has beautiful long silver hair and clear blue eyes, she also carries two swords at her waist, one on each side.

“Yes, that’s right. Hello, oneechan, nice to meet you.”

“H-Hello… a talking baby?”

As expected, she seems to be a child with little emotion, and she is not too surprised by this situation. However, she looked around again, probably thinking that there is someone else nearby who was doing ventriloquism. By the way, Lindwurm is now using concealment magic to make itself invisible. This is because, there is a possibility that it will make others, like wolf-kaachan, feel wary of us.

“Oh yes, I’m the one talking.”

 I smiled and waved at her.

“There is a baby like this?”

“Yes, there is. As you can see, I’m the living example.”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen it. It’s very unusual.”

 Lindwurm seemed to be exasperated so he sends me a telepathy.

『……I don’t think this matter should just be dismissed as “unusual”. This girl seems to be quite blown away too. 』

(It’s just as I expected. I can roughly tell her nature by looking at her magical power.)

It was helpful because the conversation wouldn’t start unless the other party accepted the existence of a talking baby.

“So, what do you need?”

“Actually, I’m a little troubled.”

“Did you stray from your mother?”

“I did not stray from them. I mean, I was abandoned. But that’s not really the problem. It’s something else that bothers me. I’d like to get inside the city, but it’s going to be a hassle with my appearance as a baby.”

The girl mutters expressionlessly, “Abandoned? Oh-, I feel sorry for you.”

“So, if possible, I wanted oneechan to help me.”

“What should I do?”

“All you have to do is pick me up and take me inside the city.”

“That’s easy. I was about to go back to city anyway.”

 Saying that, she picked me up.

 ……Mmm, I couldn’t really tell from her clothes but, it’s surprisingly big. What is it? Well, I won’t tell you that. Just, I’m going to bury my face in it. Mufufu.

『Master?? Is that necessary?』

 There is no need for it, but it is a natural thing for a baby to do.

“By the way, oneechan, what’s your name?”

“I’m Fana. What about you?”

“I’m Reus.”

“How old is Reus now?”

“About two months.”

“I see. Hold on tight.”

Then, while being embraced by the young girl, Fana, I safely passed through the city gate.

Of course, there was an exchange with guard at the checkpoint. They questioned things like,

“That baby.… Is that baby your child?”

“No, I picked him up.”

“You picked him up? I see…”

The matter was not investigated thoroughly though. He must have thought that the young girl had taken care of a poor baby who had been abandoned outside the city.

Anyway, I was able to enter the city without making any commotion.

“Galia-sama, Meliena-sama! I’ve found something like that over there!”

“R-Really!?”

“Is that true?!”

Upon receiving the report, the head of the Brazel family and his wife immediately ran their horses. Including them, it is an incognito group of only a few people. Right in front of them was a large forest. It is a dangerous magical forest that covers the northern part of the Brazel family’s territory.

With only a few retainers who could be trusted, the head himself came to this forest, which is inhabited by many vicious monsters. They are looking for the child, who he had ordered to be abandoned near this forest. Moreover, that child may be the reincarnation of the true Great Sage.

“Uh! This box is…”

“Yes. There is no doubt about it.”

They found a small box right next to the forest. There was something that looked like a cradle inside, but the important content is gone. It was just an empty shell.

“Damn! As expected..…”

“Ahh!, Reus…”

“The lid of the box has been torn… it was probably attacked by a monster…”

Such a small body of a baby. It is possible that it was swallowed whole. In that case, they really couldn’t find the body. In the first place, even if he had not been eaten by a monster, it was impossible for a newborn baby to be left alive for two months.

Still, they’ve come this far with a glimmer of hope… Apparently, it ended in vain.

“What the hell are we supposed to do now!? If things continue like this, we will be ending up as the once who killed the Great Sage…”

“Uh-….. If that happens, the Brazel family will be finished!”

“What-, No!! No matter what, we have to hide it at all costs!”

“……T-That’s right! Let’s pretend he hadn’t been put there to begin with…”

Far from grieving the death of their child, their minds seem to be preoccupied of their own self-preservation. That’s when the head noticed one of his subordinates.

“Huh? Isn’t this weird…? This lid looks like it’s been torn from the inside…”

The lid of the box had fallen nearby. It seemed to be tightly sealed but when he also looked closely at it, he found a large dent inside, as if it had been subjected to some strong impact. On the other hand, there is no evidence that it has been cut open from the outside.

 As the group tilted their heads, wondering what the hell was going on,

“Grrrrr…”

“““Uh!”””

What emerged from the forest was a wolf demon with a total length of more than two meters.

“This guy… it-it’s a Nightmare Garm!?”

“O-Oi, it’s a monster with a danger level of A, right!?”

“No, it is still a child…”

“Still, there is a risk level of B…, right!?”

The jet-black wolf, known as Nightmare Garm, is endemic to the forest. It had vicious power on its own, but it is also intelligent enough to arrange a high degree of coordination in a group, and it was considered a very troublesome monster here in the Demon Domain.

Still, this is a group of elite people, including the brilliant magicians, Galia and Meliena. As it was only one opponent, they would be able to dismiss it without difficulty.

However—

“““Grrrrrr”””

Nightmare Garm’s wolf cubs appeared one after another. As expected, they should be prepared for a tough battle. But the horror of the monster did not end there. A little later, it appeared. It had an overwhelming presence that could not be compared to the wolf cubs.

“““~~~~~~~~~~!?”””

Its total length is about 7 or 8 meters. Like Nightmare Garm, it was covered in jet-black hair, but there is crescent-shaped yellow hair only around its forehead.

“An adult Nightmare Garm…?”

“W-Wrong… This guy isn’t that simple…”

“N-No. In this Demon Domain, it’s one of the lords of this forest… It is the known Lunagarm with a danger level of S… Damn!”

Before they knew it, everyone made a pratfall. They don’t have the motivation to fight. Instinctively understanding the hopeless disparity in strength, no one could even move.

Lunagarm slowly approached Galia’s side. It was so close that if it opens its mouth, Galia can be swallowed whole in an instant.

“Hiii…”

“D-Don’t come…”

Killed. Everyone was convinced of that,

Then.

Sniff- Sniff- Sniff-

“……?”

Lunagarm brings the tip of its nose close to the family head and then it smelled his wife. It just smelled the two of them. And contrary to what they thought, it immediately turned on its heel and disappeared into the depths of the forest.

“S-Safe… I’m safe…?”

“N-No, not yet…”

Just when Galia thinks that the crisis is over, the Nightmare Garm’s wolf cubs come up to their side as well. But just like the big one, they just smelled them and some even snuggled up to him as if waiting to be petted. “Wau-wau!”, some also happily barked at them.

“W-What’s going on…?”

“What on earth does this mean…?”

 The two of them could only accept it in shock.

“Look, Saintess-sama. Surprisingly, my son, Hank, has a magic aptitude of 98. Perhaps, even if you look all over the world, you won’t find anyone with such an aptitude value.”

A newborn son with an overwhelming talent. The person who proudly praises this is Galia Brazel, the current head of the prestigious magical family, House Brazel. Not only did he leave his territory, but he had also left the country and came to the headquarters of the Cathedral Church.

Of course, his purpose is to have an audience with the Saintess who stands as the head of the church. He wants to report that his son is the reincarnation of the Great Sage.

Next to him was the figure of his wife, Meliena Radruf. Although she sends a loving glance to the baby she is holding, she is not the biological mother. Because her real son was a failure, her husband had his vassal dispose of him. On the other hand, the child that Galia had with the daughter of a servant showed an unexpected magical aptitude value. The head of the family decided to pretend that he is their real child.

“There is no doubt that this child is the reincarnation of the legendary Great Sage.”

“Yes, that’s true. When I use magic nearby, this child will try to imitate it. Even if he is just a baby, he could do it. Perhaps the memories of when he mastered magic in his previous life are engraved in his soul.”

—The two of them did not conceal anything and they strongly assert that the child they hold is the reincarnation of the Great Sage.

The young Saintess, who is still in her mid-teens, closed her eyes and was silent as if praying. Finally, she slowly opened her mouth. But—

“This child is… Unfortunately, he is not the reincarnation of the Great Sage.”

““Whaaat!?””

To the couple who exclaimed, the saintess explained,

“It is said that the magic aptitude value of the Great Sage is beyond human comprehension. One thing is sure though, it is not to that extent.”

“Bu-, Saintess, he has a score value of 98, you know!? Are you saying it’s not that grade?”

Forgetting that the other party was a saintess, Galia involuntarily rushed closer.

“Yes. However, if he is trully the Great Sage, he should have more than 1000 score value.”

““Thous-, 1000!?””

The two of them are both appalled by the number that far exceed their expectations.

“But it’s strange…. I’ve deliberately kept this information secret until now but, according to the prophecy of the gods, the place of birth, family background, and timing are completely consistent…”

The Saintess tilts her head in confusion. Then, with a look of thought on her face, she asked the couple in front of her.

“You don’t have any other children born close to this child, do you?”

“C-Certainly….”

“N-None….”

Galia immediately denied it, but inwardly it sent chills down his spine.

((D-Don’t tell me…. That child is actually better?…. uh!))

　⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

“Haaah~, it’s your fault! You even made it that he died of illness!”

“You said that I could throw away that kind of crap!”

 The couple were quarreling, and they cursed each other with foul words.

“Ah! Now that I think about it, that number 3 was made after the needle of the divine tool had gone around many times! It probably spun around 10 times. In other words, his aptitude score was over 1000!”

“Aren’t you really an idiot for not even noticing something that simple!?”

“I-, I’m not the only one who didn’t realize that! It was those incompetent priests! Even though they’re used to using divine tools on a regular basis… Damn!”

The two of them, who continued to have such an ugly argument, were now in the carriage. It is also running at breakneck speed on the road.

“I need to go back to the territory immediately and investigate the demon domain… Tsk!”

“What are you going to do about it!? There is no way that newborn baby could be alive!”

“B-But…. That doesn’t mean we can  just leave him alone, right!? If that child is really the reincarnation of the Great Sage….”

Galia grabbed the hair on his head, feeling remorse that he had done something outrageous.

For those who live in the path of magic, the legendary Great Sage is equivalent to a god. If the reincarnated baby were to die, the reputation of the Brazel family would fall to the bottom of the earth.

But nearly two months have already passed. The chances of the baby being alive is extremely low. Still, in the glimmer of hope, they continued to drive their carriages day and night.

『Do you think a two-month-old baby can register as an adventurer?』

(Hmm, what do you think? I don’t think there is an age limit to become an adventurer though.)

In my previous life, I also registered as an adventurer. I didn’t intend to do anything in particular, but maybe they thought that my presence would have a publicity effect so the Adventurer’s Guild insisted on it. At that time, you can become an adventurer regardless of age or gender. Of course, criminals are rejected.

Well, that is what I know, and it was a long time ago. I’m not sure if it still works the same way.

(I can speak and communicate properly so it should be fine, right?)

『……To begin with, a two-month-old human baby cannot even walk, let alone speak. At most, it should be around a year old. 』

(In my previous life, I was able to run when I’m about six months old though.)

『……It was just that Master is already abnormal even from your previous life. 』

It would be difficult to get there on foot, so I decided to straddle the flying Lindwurm. It took a long time, but its magic is already almost full.

After flying for a while, the territory where I was born came into view. It is a fortress city with magnificent walls and gate, a barrier has also been set up in case of an attack by monsters from the sky.

“It’s a pretty fragile barrier though…”

It doesn’t seem to be able to withstand the lunge of an adult dragon, let alone the breath of Lindwurm. Well, that’s what I think.

I passed over the city and continued south.

　　　⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

“W-Wonderful!! Hank-sama’s magical aptitude value is a whopping 98!”

“Whaat? Is that true!?”

Marquis Galia Brazel could not believe his ears when he heard the number that the priest had announced. 

“Yes. Please look here!”

“C-Certainly… There’s no doubt about it!”

The needle of the divine tool was pointing to the position of the memory representing 98. This was an incredible value, far surpassing even the 65 held by Galia, the head of the prestigious Brazel family of magic.

 “Ungaa- Ungaa!!”

Perhaps startled by Galia’s voice, the newborn baby started crying as if it had been set on fire. But he didn’t care, in excitement, Galia lifted his small body as hard as he could.

“Hahahaha! I never thought such a genius would be born!”

The baby was his son, born to the daughter of a servant in the castle. She is the daughter of a low-ranking nobleman, as for her magic, she can only use rudimentary life magic. Therefore, he did not expect such a result at all.

“……Galia-sama. Maybe this kid isn’t a normal kid.”

“What do you mean?”

 Galia raised his eyebrows at the priest who suddenly said something mysterious.

“Considering this aptitude value, it’s obvious that he’s not an ordinary child, right?”

“No, actually… Well, this information is known only to a few people in our cathedral church… Just about six months ago, Saintess-sama received a serious prophecy from the gods.”

“Saintess-sama? What exactly is it?”

The content of the prophecy proclaimed by the priest was astonishing.

“It’s…. it is said that the legendary Great Sage will soon be reincarnated in this era… That’s what is prophesied.”

“Ah!?…”

Galia involuntarily exclaims. The legendary sage is said to have lived a long time ago. Due to the global catastrophe that occurred after his death, much of the literature of that time has been lost, and although his existence is questionable, everyone who aspires to the path of magic knows his name. According to the records that barely survive, he mastered a number of miraculous spells that were unthinkable even in this day and age.

“If it became widely known, there would be a lot of parents claiming that their child is the one. Thinking so, the information is thus withheld…. but there is a possibility that this child is the reincarnation of the great sage.”

“…I’m also sure of it. It must be so! This 98 is an unbelievable aptitude value! I can’t think of any other reason other than the fact that this child is the reincarnation of the Great Sage!”

　⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

Just two months ago, the disappointment he felt when he knew the reading of his first child seemed like a lie. And with a start, Galia made a decision in mind.

“That’s right… I decided that my first child died soon after he was born but… there is a possibility that he is the reincarnation of the Great Sage. If I were to leak such information…”

From here on, it is possible to make this child into the child he had with his legal wife. If he does that, he will at least gain respect from the outside world. If it was that wife, she probably wouldn’t object.

“Hn? However, that divine tool, the memory needle goes around to 100… So, what happens if the aptitude score is over 100?”

A question suddenly occurred to him at that moment. That was a clue to the truth of what happened about two months ago, but unfortunately, he let it go easily.

“……No, it is impossible for a human being to have such a number. Perhaps this child’s 98 score is the highest aptitude for mankind.”

Half a month has passed since the raid of the herd of tarantulas.

『…… Are you going?』

(Yeah. Thank you for taking care of me Kaa-chan.)

『Hey, how long am I gonna say, I don’t remember being your mother…』

I don’t know if she has given up or just accepted it, but she just sighs exasperatedly. She doesn’t deny it as strongly as she used to. She kinda looks a little lonely too.

I am now going to leave this forest. I’ve made friends with the wolves but I’m still human after all. Besides, some of the other wolves don’t like the fact that I’m around Kaa-chan and they persistently insist that she get rid of me immediately.

Well, on the contrary, it seems that there are others who treat me as a savior for saving Kaa-chan and the herd. Because of this, even though they had repelled the threat from the north, the leadership of the herd seemed to be disrupted.

『…… You don’t have to worry about that.』

Kaa-chan is telling me not to worry about it, but I can’t bother her anymore. With that in mind, I decided to return to the human city. Luckily, not having breast milk is not a problem anymore. Well, in the first place, there is almost no breast milk left from Kaa-chan.

My body has become stronger, and I can speak. I think I can survive in a human city now.

“““Wauwauwau”””

(Wait, you guys… uh?)

Suddenly, as I was about to leave the forest, the little wolves I had befriended jumped on me one after another. I was buried in their fluffy hair.

(Hey, stop. I can’t move forward like this you know?)

“““Wauwauwau”””

 Apparently they don’t want me to go.

“Grrrr!『You guys, stop it. 』”

““““~~~~uu!””””

When Kaa-chan scolded them, the wolf cubs panicked and stopped moving.

“Gaaarrrrrrrr! 『Don’t get in the way. That child is different from you. He is a human child. He can’t stay with you guys here forever.』”

““““Kuuun…””””

The little wolves with their tails tucked between their crotches are crying sadly. I tousled the fur on their head—it was hard because there were so many—and then I said goodbye.

(See you then, be well, okay?)

“““Wau!”””

Waving to the howling little wolves, I left them. And it was just as I was leaving the forest, I heard a loud howl.

“Waauuuuuuu! 『You can come back whenever you feel like it!』”

I still don’t fully understand their language, but I can somehow understand what they meant.

 ……This forest is my hometown. 

Even though I was abandoned immediately after birth, I now have a place to return to.

⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

『So, where are you going from here, Master?』

(Hmmm, well… It would be better not to go back to the territory where I was born…)

If a baby abandoned in the forest comes back, there will be many problems. Well, that’s true, but it also looks interesting to see the astonished faces of my parents. 

However… the house of the nobility is too troublesome to begin with… He abandoned me because it was about his honor as a nobleman, I don’t want to live a life of being haunted by such an invisible thing.

 ……In fact, in my previous life, I was born into an aristocratic family.

It was a family of knights for generations, and it was a prestigious sword family, so I was forced to train with the sword from a young age. At that time, I really wanted to learn magic, but I wasn’t allowed to learn it, saying that magic is something that only weak people learn.

Well, I learned it secretly on my own though. After leaving home, I was free. I stayed in my lab and immersed myself in the development of new magic and tools. I traveled around the world in search of magic books that lie dormant in various places. I also joined the party of the hero to fight against the Demon Lord’s army.

(I want to live freely in my new life. In that case…. adventurer. Yes it could only be that after all. I can also earn money so I can kill two birds with one stone.)

『Adventurer huh. It’s risky but it is indeed a free profession. ……But Master-』

(What?)

Perhaps he is the Northern Lord that Kaa-chan talked about. It is several times larger than an average tarantula. It’s comparable in size to Kaa-chan, the leader of the wolves. Even its legs, which are supposed to be thin compared to its body, are as thick as a log.

“Grrrrrrrr!!”

She must have been hit by its silk thread as Kaa-chan is scratching her head as she couldn’t get out of the thread that was entangled in her whole body.

““Waaauuuu!!””

The wolves rushed to rescue Kaa-chan but spiders stand in their way. Meanwhile, the giant tarantula bit into Kaa-chan’s body, which was unable to move.

“~~~~~~~!?”

I immediately tried to come to her aid, but the spiders were still in the way and I couldn’t move forward.

(Linlin, staff mode.)

『……Yes, Master.』

 I made Lindwurm turn back into staff mode and straddled it.

(I’m sorry, I’ll go alone from here. I can’t seem to get close to that guy on the ground you see.)

“Wau!?”

While the wolf I was riding on was stunned, I fly into the sky on my staff. Then I leaped across the battlefield and was immediately above the head of the Northern Lord.

“How dare you do that to my kaa-chan! (Use all your strength to turn that damn spider into charcoal!)”

『In that case, the magic power that Master had filled in his previous life will run out, I will also go into a dormant state for a while, is that okay?』

Lindwurm is a powerful staff, but it consumes insane amount of magical power. In my previous life, I could easily handle it with my huge amount of magical power. However, with my current body, it would take days just to fill it up with magical power again.

(It doesn’t matter. Do it.)

『Understood, Master.』

The dragon design on it opens its mouth wide. Intense energy concentrates in its oral cavity, and a thunderous popping sound resounds.

“~~~~!?”

Perhaps sensing the killing intent, the compound eyes of the giant tarantula turned to face us. The other spiders and wolves also sensed the ominous presence, so they stopped fighting and involuntarily looked up to the sky. The next moment, a fierce breath of light fell on the giant tarantula.

Boom!

An explosion echoed out and the huge body of the boss tarantula is obliterated in an instant. On the contrary, the impact was so great that it plunged the ground so deep that it seemed to continue to the bottom of the earth.

(Uh-…… It’s a little too much.)

『The master said with all his might.』

Oh-, whatever. That attack made the enemy boss disappear without even leaving a single piece of flesh behind.

I land near Kaa-chan, who is still trapped in the thread. As expected, when she was bitten earlier, she was poisoned by the giant tarantula.

Kaa-chan is limp.

『Unfortunately, I’m done for huh..… I was confident that I had a certain level of resistance to poison, but his poison was more deadly than I expected. This is probably incurable. This silk thread…, I completely misjudged his abilities… (Sigh) It’s because I let my guard down. I’m disqualified as the ruler of this territory. This poison can be said to be a deserved reward…』

She is an unusually timid and self-punishing Kaa-chan huh.

“Anti-poison”

I can easily detoxify her in this way.

『Eh?… What? My body is getting comfortable…?』

(I used detoxification magic on you.)

『Ah? I can’t believe that you can even use magic even if you’re just a baby…』

Come to think of it, I’ve only used body-strengthening magic or magic that others can’t tell just by looking at it. So she might have thought that my physical abilities are also elementary.

Eventually, the poison seemed to have been detoxified, and Kaa-chan was completely fine. For the time being, let’s heal the wound with healing magic.

With the boss spider killed, the tarantula seemed to literally run away like scattering spiderlings.

Kaa-chan was safe, and the wolves howled in triumph.

 ……It stinks all over the place though. The smell here is probably because there were a lot of guys who were so scared that they become incontinent from the previous deadly breath.

Well, in this way, the invasion of the spiders was repelled, and the wolves safely defended their territory.

『No, you run away too.』

(Eh? I’m going to fight though?)

 Wolf-kaachan sighs exasperatedly.

『What a stupid thing to do… The enemy is powerful. You, a baby, can’t help me with anything.』

(Did you forget? I have this guy.)

 I pulled out my beloved staff, Lindwurm, from the void.

『Where did it come from just now…?』

Wolf-kaachan seemed to be quite scared of Lindwurm so I usually covered it up with magic.

I grabbed my beloved staff with my little hand and swung it around. Okay, it looks like I got strong enough to do this.

『……Certainly, that staff , I can feel a terrifying presence from it that makes my entire body hair stand on end. It must be a very powerful thing. But, you are a human baby in the first place. There is no reason for you to get involved in the strife of the monsters of our forest.』

(Hey, come on. Don’t speak like we’re so distant, Kaa-chan.)

『Kaa-, What do you mean mother!? Tsk! Sure, I gave you milk, but I don’t remember making you my child!』

(I’ve grown this far thanks to Kaa-chan’s breast milk. Besides, it’s not an exaggeration to say that I’m your child. I’ve become close with the wolf cubs too.”

『That’s why I’m telling you not to call me Kaa-chan!』

Mother wolf howled menacingly, then, 『…Fine, whatever. Suit yourself 』, she said resignedly.

『Master, you say things like you’ve “grown this far”, but isn’t it usually said after you’re a little older?』

(Can you please not get into details?)

In the meantime, the wolves were gathering one after another. Even if they are the same wolf monster, their physiques, skeletal system, and furs are different. In addition, it seems that there are quite a few different races.

“““Gau-gau!”””

“Wauu!!”

Kaa-chan seemed to have sent some kind of signal to one of them, and then a wolf came towards me. Then he bites my body gently and throws me upwards. Before I knew it, I was riding on the back of that wolf.

『You stay on top of him. In that way, you won’t have to worry being accidentally eaten by your comrades. 』

Well,  a lot of them don’t know me after all. It’s indeed troublesome if they see that I’m just a human baby and then I get attacked by my own allies.

『Oh! They’re coming!』

Kaa-chan then roared. The wolves get ready for battle all at once. The next moment, through the trees, huge spider monsters with a total length of more than two meters appeared.

I’m sure it is a Tarantula. The threads that combine stickiness and toughness, and the venomous fangs make it a troublesome monster. I used my search spell to see how many forces the enemy has. After a quick search, there are probably more than 100 monsters of the same kind. In terms of numbers, it seems that there are more people over there.

Eventually, one after another, giant spiders rushed into the area where this pack of wolves is waiting. In no time at all, it turned into a melee. Fierce battles broke out here and there.

Wolves get entangled in spider silk and are unable to move. On the other hand, wolves easily tear apart the spider’s fragile body with their sharp claws and fangs.

Kaa-chan was one of the most active. Taking advantage of her huge size and power, she easily tramples a two-meter spider. Despite her size, she is also very agile. She is running around the battlefield at a tremendous speed, quickly evading the spider silk that flew by.

As expected of my Kaa-chan.

I can’t afford to lose either.

(From what I see, the spider’s armor looks weak. Alright. Linlin, it’s sword mode.)

『Understood, Master. However, I would like to ask you again and again, please do not call me that.』

 (Ei, it’s fine, it’s cute you see.)

『……』

Slightly dissatisfied, the Holy Dragon Staff Lindwurm transforms. With Lindwurm in hand, which had changed from staff mode to sword mode, I straddled the wolf and charged into the spider pack.

Zubabababababa!!!

I wield Lindwurm vigorously and slashed the spiders one after another. As I thought, with sword mode, the sharpness could easily slaughter these guys even with my current meager muscle strength.

““Wauu!?””

 The wolves are amazed at the sight of a human baby swinging a giant sword.

“Gaoo!?”

“Hmm? Spider’s silk threads?”

Perhaps seeing us as a troublesome opponent, many spiders surrounded us and released their silk threads all at once. Threads approached us from all directions. There is no way out. But that was in vain. In this mode, there is nothing that Lindwurm cannot cut. I slashed the thread to create an escape route and annihilated the spiders that surrounded us.

“Waaauuu!?”

“Hmm?”

It was then.

I turned around when I heard that familiar roar and looked at it. Kaa-chan is trapped in a spider’s silk and I saw her scratching her head in pain. Near her, there was a ridiculously huge spider that was on par with Kaa-chan’s size.

Eh?

Kaa-chan is in a big pinch!

“““Wau! Wau! Wau!”””

“Haha, so slow. If you don’t work together properly, you won’t be able to catch me~”

I was running around the forest, dodging and running away from the wolf cubs that pounced on me at breakneck speed.

“Wau!”

“Haha, it’s obvious.”

“Wau!?”

I grabbed the wolf cub by the neck and throw it away.

It had been more than a month since I had come to this forest. I’m now able to speak properly, and let alone stand, I can now fly and jump around.

『As expected of Master, I didn’t expect that you’ll be able to move this much in such a short period of time. 』

Well, this is due to the fact that I am using body strengthening magic. With my bare body, I could run at most, and I wouldn’t be able to continue to dodge the wave attacks of the wolf cubs like this.

I said it is an attack, but in fact, we are just playing. There is a saying, “eating from the same rice pot”, perhaps because we drank the same breast milk, we became close like real brothers from then on. The wolf cubs, who grow faster than me, are already about the size of a large dog. They drink less breast milk and even hunts in the forest.

“Ngug, ngug, ngug”

『……Jeez, as always, you are drinking so much that I can’t believe you are a human baby.』

Thanks to that, I was monopolizing kaa-chan’s boobs more and more by myself. She has a surprised look on her face, but she seems to have gotten used to it, and calmly lets me suck her milk. However, she is actually producing breast milk for her own baby. Unfortunately, perhaps because the babies were no longer drinking breast milk, the milk output is gradually getting weaker.

(Mmm, I think it’s time for me to wean too.)

『Master, if it’s a normal human baby, it should be about half a year old.』

(If I strengthen my stomach with magic, it should be fine.)

I feel guilty for wolf-kaachan but I’m also getting tired of the bland taste of breast milk. As expected, it would be better not to eat raw meat of monsters like the wolf cubs.

Then at that moment,

The mother wolf suddenly stood up and I was shaken off her boobs.

“Uuh- …What’s the matter?”

After landing hurriedly, I looked up at the mother wolf.

“Grrrrrrrr”

 She was glaring in the north direction while purring warily.

『You must take the children and leave this place right away.』

(What happened?)

『The Northern Lord of this forest has attacked.』

(Northern Lord?)

According to what I heard, it seems that this magical forest is currently divided by four powerful monsters, divided into north, south, east, and west. All of which has four vast territories. They have been defending each other’s sphere of influence, sometimes engaging in a fierce turf war. But even so, it seems that the lords haven’t fought each other in years. This was because they understood that if they clashed with each other, the winner would not be able to do it for free.

『……However, there have been many times in the past when the lords fought each other in this way. The balance of power in the forest changed then. It’s not uncommon. Besides, no matter how many years he lives, he’s still a bug. You can’t expect any decent thinking from him.』

Is the Lord of the North an insect-type monster? The insect system is visually tough.

(Really? Then, does that mean that the southern lord is around here?)

『That’s me.』

 What!? I was surprised. Wolf-kaachan turned out to be the lord of the south.

『Hurry up. I’m going to gather my clansmen and take them down.』

 “Waaauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”

Wolf-kaachan let out a terrific howl towards the sky. Apparently, this is the signal for a gathering. Soon, a howl could be heard from all over the place, and wolves gathered one after another.

『That is going to be the case. You guys should stay away from here.』

“““……Kuuun”””

Despite their sad growl, the clever little wolves began to run away quietly. Sometimes they look back at me with worry, but as newborns, they’re just a hindrance to this battle.

『No, you run away too.』

(Eh? I’m going to fight though?)

The jet-black demon wolf had a vast territory in this magical forest. In this forest, where many monsters live and continue to kill each other, just to maintain a territory is not easy. The fact that she had a large territory was proof that she was strong. She has just given birth to more than 20 cubs. So as a result, she was more cautious than usual.

“……?”

Suddenly, she felt uncomfortable. She was just breastfeeding her children as usual, but she felt that the feeling of sucking on one of the large number of nipples was somehow different from usual. She thought that maybe it was just her imagination… but when she glanced towards her belly, she was shocked.

……It’s kind of weird.

Among her children, who were desperately drinking milk, there was a strange baby. Moreover, he is not even a baby of the same family. The baby is one or two times smaller than her newborn children.

 Monkey? No, it’s a human baby!

She doesn’t know how long he has been mixed in, but he is sucking on her milk with the same momentum as her children.

“Wauuuuun!!”

She rose to her feet with a roar, shaking her body vigorously, trying to shake off the mysterious baby.

““““Kyaun!?””””

But it was only her own children who were slammed onto the rocks. The human baby does not want to be shaken off, so he uses both hands and feet to cling to her body and continues to drink her milk obsessively.

“Grrrrrruaaaaah”

How long are you trying to drink my milk! She was so enraged that she tried to stretch her neck to bite the baby. However, at that moment, her body stiffens as she feels the sense of death.

 W-What the hell am I… I was terrified of this baby…?

 ……Wrong, it’s not him, it’s above. Fearfully, she looked up and saw a mysterious staff floating in the air.

⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

『…… Master, it’s really dangerous. If I hadn’t intimidated her, your second life would have come to an end by now.』

(Sorry, my bad. I was a little too focused on drinking milk.)

I quickly jumped down the mother wolf’s belly when she stopped moving as she felt wary of Lindwurm.

“Burp”

Mmm, I drank a lot thanks to you.

What I caught sight before was this wolf demon that was breastfeeding. I used stealth magic to completely erase my presence and secretly mixed in with her cubs.

“““Gurrrrr!”””

The little wolves that had been shaken off earlier were glaring at me and purring. Unlike the mother wolf, they probably didn’t realize Lindwurm’s strength.

『We don’t need anyone other than the mother wolf right? Do you want me to annihilate them?』

(No, there is no need to go that far.)

I stopped Lindwurm from making a fuss and then I tried to have a magical conversation with the mother wolf. She seems to have a reasonably high level of intelligence so I’m sure I can talk to her.

(Can you hear me?)

『This is…?』

(It’s the human baby in front of you. I don’t think we can directly talk to each other, so I was talking to you in your mind. I’m sorry I surprised you earlier.)

『……I didn’t think a human baby can do something like this. 』

The mother wolf’s reply was clearly intellectual. It is probably a monster that has lived for a long time. On the other hand, the wolf cubs are roaring with such force that they seem to pounce on me at any time.

(I don’t intend to cause any harm. Can you please let them be quiet?)

『……Alright.』

“Awuuuu!”

“““Au?!”””

The mother wolf nodded and roared, and the cubs fell silent in an instant.

“““Kuun…”””

Leaving the wolf cub completely quiet, I resume the conversation.

(I’m sorry for this imprudent request, but I need your milk to make this body grow, and it would be helpful if you could share it with me for a while.)

『Hmm, you’re talking as if you are a different person inside.』

 The mother wolf let’s out an exasperated sigh.

『……Then, you won’t kill us, will you?』

 The mother wolf asked as she glanced at Lindwurm.

(As I have said, I didn’t intend to do any harm. I’m not going to take your milk and repay the favor with spite you see.)

『……Alright. I believe that statement is not a lie.』

 It looks like a deal has been concluded. Good, now I can get some breast milk.
