Alice Learn About Demon

Night.

The sky is full of stars, and the ground is silently beautiful, different from the moonlight and the sunset.

The houses scattered in the distance below lit up like fireflies dancing in a forest at night.

Then, the city of Riade, seen in the distance, is bright and shimmering and reminds us of human activity.

The buildings are made of stone or wood, the roads are dirt roads, the vehicles are carriages, and some of people in armor.

Compared to my previous life, the gap in civilization is as if I have gone back to the past.

There are no cars anywhere, and there are no reinforced concrete buildings. There seems to be no infrastructure of electricity and gas, and even the water supply may not be maintained.

This is the world I live in now.

「Should we go now? 」

We had been looking at them for a while after the sun had set, but Edilua soon interrupted us.

This magnificent scenery still puts me off, but we can’t stay here forever looking at the scenery.

We have to go to the city and earn money by doing something unfamiliar like being an adventurer.

「That’s right. Let’s just fly down to the bottom of the mountain for now」.

Flying in the sky feels great.

At first I was afraid to fly, but I soon got used to it and now I can do mid-air maneuvers while flying in the sky.

We flew through the night sky, crossed the forest at the bottom of the mountain, landed on the grassland, and walked along the dirt road that stretched across the wide grassland again, heading for the town.

There were various creatures on the grasslands.

A big wild boar with unusually long tusks, a big green wolf, a big horned rabbit, a butterfly with stupid size, and so on.

Most of them ran away as we approached, and were watching us from a distance of about 500 meters away.

They are all animals that I have never seen before in this other world.

What can I say, the whole thing is …. big.

A chicken running from the other side of the dirt road which is as big as a house.

「That big chicken is amazing. It has a snake on its butt」.

It is more like a snake growing out of it.

It is an animal that I don’t understand.

「What is it? It looks like it’s coming this way」

「That’s a cockatrice, and the eggs are super tasty. Where is the nest?」

Saying that, Edilua glanced around.

She seems to be looking for that cockatrice or some other chicken nest.

Since they are even running around in a meadow like this, they must have escaped from a cage breed or perhaps they are wild animals to begin with.

A wild chicken …..

I’ve been thinking about it, and as I watched the cockatrice approaching me, a good idea came to me.

In other words, why not catch them and keep them? I thought.

「Let’s get her. If that’s a female, those delicious eggs are all you can eat every day」

It’s that big.

That chicken is all-you-can-eat, even if it was a male.

I don’t know how to process chicken, but if you take them to town, there might be a place where you can pay to process them.

Even if the chicken is as big as a house, it’s no big deal to carry it to the city if it is stored in my time-space magic.

I can create a different space and throw it there alive.

That’s right.

Although there was a skill called item box (Blood Box), when I was experimenting with space-time magic in various ways, I realized that there was no need for such a skill if I used this.

After all, I can create as much different space as I want at any time and any place, and the size and the environment inside can be freely adjusted. Unlike item boxes, living creatures can enter the space, and you don’t have to put blood in between them, and the different spaces that I created can speed up, slow down, or even stop the flow of time.

I can even do instant movement and teleport to a distant places.

It’s truly too great magic.

「That’s it! Nice idea! Great job, Alice! 」

「Then I will….」.

As Hedera said this, she waved her hand away to the cockatrice, and suddenly the cockatrice that had been running was pinned down, falling to the ground and struggling out.

It happened all of a sudden.

It was Hedera’s thread manipulation.

It’s a very thin thread that stretched from her fingertips, and it was wrapped around the cockatrice’s legs and body.

It’s a skill that Hedera created with her magical power to move this thread freely, stretch it and fight the enemy like blood manipulation.

I don’t know why must a thread.

When we get close to the cockatrice, the cockatrice starts to rage more and more.

The shadows that Hedera controls with 「shadow magic」 cling to it and block its movements.

For a while it raged and screamed, but soon it gave up and became quiet.

This makes it look like we’re torturing it.

Wouldn’t an animal rights organization or something get angry with me?

I mean, was it okay to catch a wild animal after all this time?

「Female, we did it! 」

Edilua doesn’t hesitate to look into the cockatrice’s crotch and said something like that.

How do you know it’s a female, I wonder, but it’s a promising hen.

A chicken that lays very tasty eggs, according to Edilua. Since it’s so big, the eggs it lays must be big too.

「We caught it, but what shall we do?」

If you put a collar and a rope, will it follow us quietly?

Or do we need to use my spacetime magic to create an alternate space and get in there?

「I think it’s time to make it into a familiar」

I see, it’s like a pet that can communicate with you when it’s attached to you.

It’s also possible to locate and summon them from a distance.

It’s a perfect time to try out the skill.

However, the only problem is that those who become a familiar will be turned into a vampire.

「Even if it becomes a vampire, will it still be able to lay eggs properly? 」

「Not okay? If it doesn’t work, then we can find another one」.

「Yeah. Well, then, Hedera who caught it, go ahead.」

「Is it alright? 」

「No problem」.

I’ll get the smaller and cuter animals around there.

「Understood」.

Hedera opened the cockatrice’s mouth and let a drop of her own blood drip into its mouth.

Then the cockatrice let out a single squeal, and the color of its body changed as I watched it.

A black body and red eyes. In addition, the green snake that had been growing out of the buttocks was transformed into a viper-like appearance with black and red spots.

It was amazing to see the color change.

「It’s become like a silkie chicken,」

「That’s pretty good looking.」

As Hedera releases her restraints, the now-mature black cockatrice stands up and hangs its head at us.

It’s a very disciplined chicken.

「Because its body has turned black, this one’s name is Schwartz」.

When Hedera stroked the black cockatrice’s head as she said this, the black cockatrice rubbed its head against her, its eyes narrowing and squealing happily.

I can’t believe I’ve already missed it …. The familiar magic, it’s amazing magic.

I’m sure it’s a smiling scene of an animal and a beautiful maid playing with a beautiful maid, but since the other party is a ridiculously large, pitch-black chicken, I’m worried that Hedera will be eaten.

Now that we have a rather cute pet, we’ll take a look at the status of this black chicken.

What does it read.

[ 吸血黒毒鶏 ] Kyuketsu, Kurodoku, Niwatori? (Bloodsucking, Black Poisonous, Chicken?) *Basically, Alice were trying to read the kanji.

I dunno.

More importantly, it’s this comment section.

…. Was this chicken a demon?

I was a little taken aback by this, but I realized now that such a large chicken is not strange to be called a monster.

「Monster = Demon」 is the only basic knowledge of this world that God said, but then I have no idea how to tell if it is an animal or a demon.

Well, I could use my demon eyes to find out by absolute appraisal.

If someone told me that the chickens of this world are as big as a house, I’d believe them 「Oooh …. 」 I still don’t know enough about this world to believe it.

「This boy is so weak. Let me give you my blessing」.

「Then me too」.

Following Edilua, I also grant my blessing.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being weak for a chicken, but in this world where things are so disturbing, there’s nothing better than being as strong as possible.

Or rather, my blessing is a convenient function that prevents you from falling down, so it won’t make it stronger.

ーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Once Schwartz’s status was known, I was going to head back to the city again, but I suddenly wondered if 「Is cockatrice something I can take with me to the city? 」 What a thought.

「It’s just a big bird, and it’s okay. 」

「Humans in this world are fighting demons, right? Wouldn’t they be mad at us if we took it? 」

It may look like a big chicken, but it’s a demon, and they might get mad at it.

We could probably claim it’s a pet, but it’s too big after all, and if we’re walking around with it, it might get in the way and make them angry.

They might not let it into the city in the first place.

If so, we would have to ask the to keep it for us outside the city, but I don’t know if they would keep it quietly, and if not, they might get angry with us for letting a livestock run free near the city without permission.

In addition, other demons might come and eat Schwartz if it is left alone in the area. After all, even a chicken is a demon. If a dragon or something like that came, there wouldn’t be a single trace of it.

「Then shall Alice make an alternate space and have it stay there? 」

Thus, it’s the best choice.

「I guess that’s a good idea. Cockatrice …. What does Schwartz eat? a chicken, so barleys or grains? 」

「Basically, it seems to eat any kind of demon or animal meat. In particular, a demon called War Rabbit is Schwartz’s favorite food」.

「Are you a carnivore? …. 」

As we were chatting about what to do, we noticed a lot of people coming from the side of the road.

They were marching down the dirt road that stretched out into a large grassy field, clattering their armor.

They are still a long way away, but thanks to my demon eye, I can see them clearly.

There were about 100 people, which is a lot, to begin with.

Under the moonlight and the light of the cantera held by a few of them, I can see that they are all uniformly wearing similar armor and helms on their heads.

This one is coming after a chicken.

It’s like a parade or something.

「There’s a lot of them coming this way」

「Let’s get out of the way and watch 」.

「Where are they going at this late hour? We didn’t see anything on the road we came from 」

Indeed.

Where would a large group of people go in armor this late at night? I’m very curious.

Anyway, this is the discovery of the first people.

I want to see what kind of people they are in this world.

I don’t know what they are doing at this hour, but I decided to watch them in the meadow off the road so as not to interfere with the grand march.
