Chapter 48 – Intimidation is Scary….Necessity?

「I’m back.」

I’m tired.

I have no problem with the cave of those 3 idiots but I’ve become very tired because of Boss-san and the others’ intimidation.

Whoah, dragons.

Hnn?

What?

The dragons have stopped moving.

「Eh! Oohhh～」

Suddenly, Fluff Ball spewed flames toward the sky.

To be honest, the momentum of the flame scared me.

It’s too scary.

I mean, why did it suddenly spew flames?

What’s the problem….ah, when I followed their gazes, they were all staring at the egg the parent spider was holding.

Yeah, Boss-san and the others were like that too a while ago.

To think that even dragons would show the same reaction.

However, that doesn’t mean that they should suddenly spew flames.

Still, I can’t believe that even dragons feel threatened by it.

What is this dog exactly?

I have to calm down the excited dragons or they’re going to go for a second round.

「Hey, don’t be like that. It’s okay….probably.」

The dragons all stared at me when I said that.

I don’t know why but I feel like that atmosphere is kind of scary.

Haa, hang in there, me.

「No, it’s harmless. I’m sure of it.」

I’m glad they don’t understand what I’m saying.

If they do, they definitely won’t believe what I just said.

I’ve never been so thankful for being unable to communicate with them as I am today.

Anyway, that eases up their mood.

I approached the egg that had been unloaded from the back of the parent spider.

There must have been a lot of shock on the way but the dog inside did not seem to move.

At first glance, it looks like it’s dead.

Well, if you look closely, you can see that the chest part is beating slightly.

But still, its heart is in the same position as mine even though it has 3 heads.

What a meaningless thought. I’ll just ignore the disturbing faces around me for a moment.

「Haha, I feel like I’m being glared at by a bunch of dragons, this is bad for my heart. Today is definitely a bad day.」

As I glanced around, I saw Boss-san and the dragons having a meeting or something.

Come to think of it, these little ones are of different species but they speak the same language.

However, Boss-san and the dragons are clearly emitting different sounds from each other, can that be considered language?

I feel like it’s not.

I mean, how are they communicating?

If I can figure that out, maybe I could join their conversation.

Ah, but if I can do it now, they’ll probably say, “You pick up another troublesome thing even though you know it would be useless.”.

….even in my imagination, I’m causing everyone a headache.

Hnn?

The egg is moving!

Ah, the one eyes are just trying to move it.

I guess I was so impatient for it to hatch.

Yeah, I should think about what to do with it when it hatches.

But still, angels and an ugly dog-like creature that everyone is warry of.

Ah, what kind of checking did god-sama do in this world to say there’s no longer any problem?

He overlooked too much.

Next time we meet, we’ll have a real talk.

I was suddenly pulled and when I turned to check who it was, I found a one eye tugging my arm.

「What’s wrong?」

The one eye let my arm go and walked toward the house.

As I watch it, it stops halfway and looks at me.

This means it wants me to follow it so I follow it.

When it saw that I was moving, it started walking toward the house again.

I entered the house and headed to the living room with the one eye.

Koa, Chai, and Ai are following us behind.

Behind them are Fluff Ball and Fluffy in their small forms.

In the living room, the angels seemed to be in a good mood and were playing by themselves.

I see light hitting the monster core.

By the way, how can they do that every single day without getting bored?

But they are spending less and less time playing.

Are they getting tired of it?

What should…..the one eyes will surely come up with something once the time comes.

I’ll just leave it to them.

All I have to do is deal with the egg.

I looked for the egg and found it on the table.

It is on top of several layers of cloth. Probably to prevent it from rolling.

I approach the table and put my hand on the egg.

I felt the slightest hint of heat.

I knew that it was still alive.

I wonder if this is like the eggs of Boss-san and Shuri. Should I pour magic power on it too?

If I do that, will it hatch?

Come to think of it, I wonder if the power of the dog and this egg is magical power?

Let’s do a little research.

I slowly feel the power on the egg using my hand.

…..hnn?

It seems to be different from the powers I know.

That means this is not magic.

And it’s different from the power I felt from the three idiots.

So it’s not divine power either.

Then, what is its power?

I just felt it but I felt a tremendous chill.

Moreover, it makes me feel sick.

I took my hand off the egg and had a deep breath.

I suddenly felt a little discomfort in my palm so I looked at it.

「Ah, I was burned?」

My palm is full of burnt marks.

The discomfort I felt seemed to be the tingling sensation of being burned.

Does this mean I was hit by the force I felt from the egg?

「Maybe I should put it back where I found it.」

I’m honestly very troubled with this first experience.

I never thought that I would get hurt just by checking the power.

What should I do?

Let’s heal myself first.

「Heal」

As my palm was enveloped in a gentle light, the burns disappeared in addition to the discomfort I’m feeling.

Thank goodness.

It seems that it is possible to heal it with magic.

If I couldn’t heal myself with healing magic, I had to seriously consider putting it back from where I found it.

As I looked at my palm, Koa rubbed her face against my shoulder.

When I look at her, I can feel that she’s worried.

Chai is also by my side, staring at me.

「I’m fine. The burns have already healed.」

After showing them my palm that has healed from burns, I gently pat their heads.

The pleasant expressions on their faces are soothing, aren’t they?

Especially today that my heart is so tired.

The one eyes and three eyes came in through the doorway of the living room.

They brought thin pieces of wood with them.

They seem to be building something.

They have started their preparations and they’re building it right next to where the angels were sleeping.

As I watched, I finally noticed that they were assembling a crib.

However, it is smaller compared to the cribs of the angels.

「….is that the bed for the dog?」

They are making a place for the egg to rest?

Well, it would certainly be better if it has its own place.

Even though it is a dog, it is still an egg.

A crib for an egg?

That’s kind of unusual.

And it’s already complete.

There’s a new smaller crib right next to the infant angel’s cribs.

And one of the one eyes took the egg and laid it on the crib.

And a circling monster core toy was put on it.

…..I don’t think it needs that one.

Perhaps it’s not a toy but has another purpose?

I stared at the monster core as it was installed.

It was a colorful one unlike the angels’.

Those above the angels are transparent monster cores.

On top of the egg is a monster core of all colors.

Does it have any meaning?

「It’s something new. Haa, it’s just that I don’t have enough knowledge.」

By the way, the rock dolls were not afraid of that egg.

On the other hand, Fluff Ball and Fluffy seem to be still wary of it.

Is it possible that they don’t know what that egg is because I’m the one who made them?

I usually don’t get scared of things I don’t understand.

「It looks like they’re done.」

They even beautifully arrange the bed.

I don’t think the egg needs it. Well, since the one eyes look satisfied, I guess it’s okay.

And if anything goes wrong, they’ll be able to notice it immediately.

「Come to think of it, I just checked the power of the egg.」

I had completely forgotten about it.

I mean, it’s not magic, it’s also not divine power, and it’s not similar to the power I made too.

….what is it?

Egg power?

What a cliched word.

But it’s a power that can injure you just by contact.

「Even so, it’s something that is powerful. I’m just a normal Japanese so there’s no way I’ll know.」

….you want to know? Ask me and I’ll say it’s useless knowledge.

Even so, I’m tired.

Too much mental fatigue these days.

The things that the 3 idiots left behind are hitting me mentally!

Many of them don’t even make sense.

There are still 8 places left….

Maybe I should just escape….
