Chapter 674 – Episode 618 – The Smell of the Beast Spreads in the Sacred Place! (4)
Alright, so… Now it’s time to pick up something sensible to talk to Yew Wah…
What would you like? Yew Wah is still trying to keep her distance, so we need something plausible.
If possible, it would be nice to have a topic that would deepen the relationship with Yew Wah by asking about this and that… Hmm… I feel that the books here are too child-rearing books to find such a topic?
Of course, the subject of parenting is also such a topic that if you brush your teeth well, you can even go to mating… The problem is that I have a lot of mating experience, but I don’t have any parenting experience.
I’ve tried giving birth to females, but… Rather than being my offspring, how come they’re female alter egos created by mixing my genes and energy?
Yew Wah’s interest in such an experience is a little… Um… Should I pick up a topic other than just a book?
“Parenting, parenting, parenting, novels for children… Mmm. Why do you want this line to be like this… Huh?”
While looking for a plausible title that could attract Yew Wah’s attention, he was looking through the bookshelf on one side of the wall.
An old book, buried in the far corner of the bookshelf as if hiding something, came into my field of vision.
“Let’s find out about the divine beast… The author, Izayoi Kitsune…?”
What? What is this name? I don’t know, but it’s a name that can only be used in Japan, isn’t it?
I haven’t seen a name like this used in Essentia… So, this must be the name that one of the divine beasts used on Earth, right?
…Hmm? Come to think of it… Apparently, Snow White said there was a book written by Yew Wah in this library…
So… I wonder if this is a book written by Yew Wah? Where…
“Hmm. Hmm. Hmm… Um? Yes?”
Eh? What is this. These are sentences that don’t seem like the first time I’ve seen them for some reason?
Especially the part that explains how this Shinsoo becomes a human… I’ve seen this somewhere that explains things like this child explains?
I definitely feel like I exploded in anger when I saw it when I didn’t have much time to spare… Ah!? That’s right! The book I saw in Ladia’s library shortly after I came to Essentia!
When Lisbeth wasn’t even my negative number yet, I was looking for things to become a humanoid, right?! That’s right! I saw this with great anticipation because Shinsoo wrote it!?
However, the contents are like a child’s insistence, and I remember arguing with Lisbeth when I was a human, wondering if they sold these things for money…
Kya… Do you think now that Lisbeth was really cute? No, no. For now, rather than…
…Was it our Yew Wah who wrote this book? Hmmm~?
“…What is it? You must have promised to quietly read the book?”
As I approached with the sound of horses hooves, Yew-hwa, who took her eyes off the book she was reading, glared at me as if disturbing.
While reading something like a study book on the other side of Yew Wah, Souma looked back at me and flinched.
I smiled at Yewhwa and Souma, and without saying a word, I just sat down next to Souma and put the book down.
“No~ I was just going to quietly read the book. Yew Wah, I found a book that I can argue with you~”
“…Under? What? What do you suddenly have to ask?”
“Puhh. That’s what… Hmm? Are you reading something strange? Who can’t sleep?”
Deliberately lengthening my tail, I first looked at what Yew Wah had been looking at so carefully.
Unlike Souma, who seems to read books just to pass the time, Yew Wah’s books show topics related to how to sleep well or the health of children.
Looking at the book now covered by Yew Wah, there was a strange title: How to Cure Insomnia.
It’s insomnia… Judging by the color of her face, I don’t think it’s Yew Wah’s story…
Then, by any chance… Souma here is insomniac? Um~ Come to think of it, I don’t think it’s just because he’s embarrassed that his face is red?
If you look closely, not only her face is red, but the bottom of her eyes looks slightly puffy… Is Souma talking about insomnia?
Hmm. Well… Considering his age, he’s had some nerve-wracking moments these past few days.
Most of all, her little boy who didn’t even know how to babysit her daughter watched Yew-hwa’s mating sound like her own mother… Her heart couldn’t help but wonder what it was.
Ah. So, does Yew-hwa know that Souma is sick? You didn’t know the cause, so you came to the library with Souma to try to figure out the symptoms?
The reason why this guy can’t sleep shouldn’t be in a book like that… Keugkeug. Okay. It’s such a big deal when your child can’t sleep. Now that I know this, can I help you?
“Puhh. It seems Souma can’t sleep… Why? Is there anything that bothers you?”
“Uh, ah… Ah, no, that’s…”
“Don’t talk to Souma, you bastard! It has nothing to do with you, so don’t mind and get out of here!”
As I pull a chair and cling to Souma, Yew-hwa wrinkles her expression and exposes her fangs as if threatening me.
Yew Wah’s hostility toward me, as if her tail and ears were erected, which she hadn’t pulled out yet.
I didn’t pay attention to Yew Wah’s appearance, and I put my arm around his shoulder as if I was hugging Souma.
“No~ I just said it because I was worried. What are you thinking about? Look. Aren’t you not responding to witchcraft?”
“This bastard…! It’s unlucky for you to do that…!”
“Ah~ don’t do that. I have something to do with you, but I’ve been looking at you like this, so I’ll help you.”
“What, what? You bastard, help…!?”
Yew-hwa, who still glared at me and expressed hostility, must have not believed my words of help.
With Souma’s head still attached to my side, I slightly turned around and waved at my negative beasts.
“Everyone says that this guy can’t sleep at night. He doesn’t seem to know why, so can you guys look at his symptoms?”
“Oh my~♥ That young warrior can’t sleep. That’s a really big deal♥”
“Whoops♥ I need to take a look at it♥ I understand, Demon King♥”
I smile as if I heard something interesting, and look at Souma’s face caught in my side.
Souma, who met their eyes, began to flinch as his face turned red even more as if he didn’t know what to do.
“Come on, Souma. See my sisters over there? Because your sisters will figure out why you can’t sleep. Go and talk to your sisters.”
“Ugh… Ah, no, that’s it, I…”
“Who wants to see Souma!? I don’t need your help, so leave Souma and retreat!”
Puch. Can’t that be? I’m sorry for you, but this guy, like you, has been chosen as a toy for the pleasure of me and the negatives.
Calm down though? I don’t know about the adults who are now mannequins, but I have no intention of destroying young male students like this guy, right?
Rules are rules, but since you care so much about your students. I will play with you. Please don’t stare at me like that. Cuuuuu…
“Ruler. Ruler. Don’t do that. Even if you look at it like that, Fayen over there is an excellent scholar, and Lisbeth next to him is a clever wizard, right? Even Ceres in the middle is the mother of Cecilia next to him? Wouldn’t it be helpful to have experience raising a child?”
“How many children have I raised, and you talk like that in front of me…! Even without your help, I can solve it by myself!”
“Hmm~ For things like that, why is your level of knowledge so unreliable? Mr. Kitsune?”
“What!? Oh no wait. That book…!?”
When she lifted up the book she had brought and shook it, Yew-hwa looked at the old book in great bewilderment.
A reaction as if seeing an unexpected book, asking why it is there.
I chuckled at that response and quietly put the book down towards Yew Wah.
“Because I have accumulated some things in this book… I always wanted to talk to the author once I met him. But I can’t believe Kitsune-san wrote a book like this. Didn’t you even think about it?”
“Ah, no, why is this still… Boo, I’m sure you’ve disposed of everything…”
“Hmm? Why do you dispose of it? It was newly bound and sold in the kingdom anyway, right?”
“What, what!? This thing is still roaming around in the human kingdom!?”
Hmm~ I don’t know what it is… Anyway, it seems that you’re ashamed of this book right now, right?
Kww. Cute is… Good. So you seem to be interested, so let’s get started, shall we?
“Puhehe… Come on, kid. Yewhwa and I have something to talk about. Go and play with your sisters.”
“What…! Wait a minute! Me, I have nothing to talk about with you! No, put that book down for a second…!”
“Hey. There are rules anyway, so trust me. Hey… Hey. Souma. You don’t like to play with your sisters? Are your noonas waiting to talk to you right now?”
“Whoa, uh… Ah, I see… Uh…”
“Ah, so, souma!”
Maybe the body odor of the devil was a little strong for the little boy who couldn’t sleep.
Souma, who was tucked into my side, had a vague expression on her face and began to turn toward my yin beasts despite Yewhwa calling.
“Ruler. Ruler. Souma will be looked after by my wives. Now let’s talk about this book with me.”
“…Kuh…! This guy really…! What the hell are you talking about!?”
While trying to stop Souma from approaching the negative beasts, Yew-hwa was caught by me and couldn’t get out of her seat.
After thinking about it for a while, looking at Souma and I, Yewhwa shook my wrist as if she had given up and sat down again.
Kww. Although I was forced to, this figure of choosing to talk with me, entrusting his apprentice to the beasts…
Maybe it’s because there are rules… But it’s probably because you’ve been obsessed with me, even a little bit, through mating with me.
Good good. Shall we drive this momentum and try to get closer to Yew Wah?
“Kuk-kuk. As for this book… It’s the one I saw when I just arrived in the human kingdom, right?”
“Ha. Shit… I thought I was done with everything. Are you still there…”
“Well, looking at it, it seemed like there was a slight difference in the condition of the binding and the author? Maybe someone made a copy or something?”
“I’m sure the person in charge said he’d take care of everything… But who the hell would bother with such an embarrassing book… Ha…”
Seeing that he is shy, he seems to know that the level of the book is garbage… Hmmm~ Did you write the book after drinking alcohol?
“What kind of fox is the author? I remember that it was said to be a divine beast living in the forest. I didn’t expect the original to have my real name written like this. Kuk-kuk…”
“…”
“If your name had been listed in the book I read, I would have searched for you first with this name. It was a book that made me feel so down, I was in the mood to punch it.”
“…Ha…”
“What on earth were you thinking when you wrote a book like this that a child explains? Have you ever had a drink?”
“…Well, um… I…”
Yew-wha silently sighed with her head lowered as if she was ashamed of something.
Apparently, the existence of this book is far more embarrassing to Yew Wah than I thought.
“Kuk-kuk. Izayoi Kitsunera… I wondered if that might be the case when I saw the building. Are you from Japan too? Then, when you were on Earth, which era and which area did you live in?”
“…No, that’s…”
“Because I’m a little curious about what you thought of this book too? After all, Earth doesn’t matter anymore. Let’s have a chat with the people from hometown.”
“…Uhm. You too… No, that’s it, I…”
When I mentioned that I was from my hometown, Yew Wah glanced at me for a moment with a meaningful look.
Then Yew-hwa let out a big sigh, and began to say something with an expression of disrespect.
“…Well, the original girl…”
“Huh. Huh. You, Yew-hwa?”
“…That, there is no memory of a place called Earth…”
“…Yes?”
Yew Wah gives an extremely strange answer while showing a complex expression.
So, Yohwa and I naturally forgot about Souma and started getting to know each other.
