Shadow Ruler

Chapter 3.6

Jumping Fruit

Giant fruits are bouncing around by themselves.

However, the average size is about 20 cm.

Parts acquired: magic stone, gigantic fruit, and rarely its seeds

Magical BirdUpdat𝒆d fr𝒐m n0v𝒆lb(i)n.c(o)/m

A bird demon that releases different magic depending on the individual.

Their body color differs depending on the type of magic.

Parts obtained: magic stone, claw or beak, rarely chicken meat

Dandy Rock

A humanoid golem demon made of stone

Hee! but they cannot speak other than that and do not know what they are saying.

Sometimes they are not humanoid, but animaloid, but they still sound like a dandy and say Hey! but they still sound like a dandy.

Parts acquired: Demon stones, and in rare cases, stones filled with magic power.

Dan-san told me that demons sometimes produce some kind of object filled with magic power, and that it is much stronger and superior to ordinary ones.

Dan-san said, But there were so many mutants before we came here, werent there? Well, with Shasti and Carna and the others, it was pretty easy to deal with them.

Well, the amount of demons that attacked us was more than normal, he said.

It seems that a mutant is an individual that is stronger than a normal demon.

As proof of this, they are said to be different in size and color than normal.

They are not the kind that appear in the market all the time, though.

But there were a lot of them.

Trees and leaves were red or yellow, nuts were twice the size, birds were not monochromatic but marbled with several colors and flew several kinds of magic, stones were different colors, and they spoke differently from Are you fucking me? and different things like Are you fucking me?

Oh?

Lily, whats wrong?

What did you find out?

Uh Maybe its perhaps its me.

What?

What do you mean? What do you mean? Just tell me.

I dont know! Because Freesia looked at me like I was fighting and thought I was cool! And when I told her that there are many kinds of mutants, and showed her the one I happened to come across, she looked at me like she wanted to see the other ones too! And I did my best to beat them! And I have Dans magic bag, so I dont have to worry about it!

How did Lily-san do it?

Zell-san told me with a wry smile as I nodded my head.

I taught you before that Lilys feelings are easily influenced by magic, so if she wants to heal her wounds, she can use healing magic.

(Kokuri)

Thats why, right? Maybe Lilys desire to show that shes good at fighting leaked out of her subconscious and attracted demons from all around her It happens.

Is that why there were so many mutants?

Carna asked.

No, its impossible to set up such a detailed configuration, so its purely coincidental. If I had to guess, Id say we were luckier than usual. I heard that mutants sometimes clump together, so its not impossible.

So thats what it is.

In a way, I think Carna and Shasti are mutants too, right?

We? Were not demons, to be more precise. Were animals with magical powers, as Petunia-san clearly said.

Youre the one who can use the appraiser?

I heard that the details are different, but he can do something similar, so he can tell.

Hmm. Anyway, I was pretty tired, but with Carna and the others there, we were all able to harvest a large amount without any serious injuries, so I guess were all happy. Oh, were at the guild, arent we?

It looks like a nice little bar.

Oh, Carna and the others are new here.

Weve never been here before, have we?

Of course not.

Carna said, Its a two-story brick building. It was a two-story brick building with a bar that sold mainly drinks for adults only, a clean place to eat food, and a caf. It seems to be a caf, a kind of restaurant that sells drinks and desserts that even a child like me can drink.

At any rate, its a place for adults to gather for drinks.

When I entered, there were many people like Dan-san, Zell-san, and others.

There were not many women like Lily-san and her friends.

And they were all staring at us.

Carna secretly told me that they were staring at us because Lily-san and Dan-san were with them, which meant they were jealous of us.

The rest of the time, she said, they were staring at me because I was in their arms, trying to find out who or what kind of person I was.

But Dan-san, who was stocky, and Zell-san, who was slender but had a slightly sharp look in his eyes, were all together, and Lily-san was almost angry at them for staring at me, which made us all look away in a cold sweat.

Lily in a state where Freesia is involved is terrifying.

My, its reliable, isnt it?

I guess.

I heard that Lily-san becomes so much when its my relationship.

Even so, Freesia is terrific.

(?)

Because, you know, she was staring at me with that many adults, and some of them were trying to kill me, but I didnt even twitch, let alone look at their expressions.

Because Im used to it.

Its not something you can do anything about by shaking because youre scared, and if you shake, it can hurt the opposite.

Oh In Freesias case, I dont have half a tolerance for that kind of thing I guess the rest is a result of that environment

Self-preservation, huh

And the rest of it is because Ive never had anything but that kind of emotion directed at me

I dont know if its good or bad I know its not good, but Yeah.

Lets just say its a blessing in disguisewhen Freesia criedit was raining blood, wasnt it?

Oh, yeah.

Yes, indeed.

Anne-san and the others looked at Lily-san.

Why? Dan-san smiled and patted me gently, telling me that I didnt need to know.

Dan-san is like a big brother, isnt he?

Anyway, why dont you go make a guild card?

Dont you need it?

The lady at the reception desk is always there for you, right?
