Dropped Into Another Word V2Extra2

Extra: Cerberus in the Egg

「Wake up～!」

「How long do you plan to sleep, you idiot!」

「Shut up…..」

Don’t scream in my ear, I’m still sleepy.

I’m just extremely tired.

I still need rest.

「Idiottttt～」

「Dumb dumb～」

Why am I being humiliated?

Should I shut them up?

「Look around, there are enemies everywhere!」

「Right! Right! How can you sleep so carefreely in the presence of a bunch of divine beasts and unknown creatures!」

What the heck is he saying?

There’s no way there’s a divine beast in the demon world.

Are they idiots?

…………………………………………………..divine beasts?

Come to think of it, I felt something very familiar.

「Ah～～～!」

「You finally woke up, you idiot.」

「You could have been killed in your sleep and there’s nothing you can do about it.」

These guys are so annoying.

I look around.

It looks like we are still being protected by a hard shell.

However, when I look closer, I see that the shell, which should have been thick, is thinner.

This is probably because we have regained our strength.

This shell has a certain characteristic, you can’t see the inside from the outside but you can see the outside from the inside.

The thickness of the shell is exactly how it looks and given how it looks now, it looks like it is very close to cracking.

I remember the time before I fell asleep or rather, I used up all my power and lost consciousness.

I’m sure I sent a memory of what I saw to one of the divine beasts.

I wonder if he used it well.

I look around again.

……there are a lot of children with strange powers.

They look human but what are they? A new kind of species?

But still, there are a lot of divine beasts.

No, no.

That one doesn’t seem to be a divine beast.

However, given its strength, it could be mistaken for a divine beast.

Or rather, everyone around here is very powerful. What is going on?

I don’t remember………I was in a daze before I went to sleep.

Hnn?

This presence that came closer to the space we are in, is it a divine beast that was watching over us?

That thing is in the shape of a dragon so it should be a divine beast, right?

However, as I thought before, it’s pretty small.

I thought that a divine beast was much bigger and more majestic.

「Hey, that’s a divine beast, right? Why is it so small?」

「I think it’s because he’s not powerful enough. However, more importantly, how do we defeat them?」

「Is there a need to defeat them?」

「What kind of crazy nonsense are you saying! If we want to escape, we have to take them down!」

「What? Escape?」

「Yeah. There’s no way we should stay at a place where we might get killed!」

These two are pretty dumb.

You can instantly tell that they don’t have any intention of killing us given the fact that we are still alive.

「If they really wanted to kill us, they would have done it already. However, the fact that we are alive means they won’t kill us.」

「Are you sure?」

「No, maybe the shell around us was too strong that it repels their attack.」

「Right.」

…..why am I with these two?

Am I supposed to take care of these two idiots?

I’m already frustrated.

「Feel the power of everyone around you. Let me tell you now, if any one of them wants to attack, this shell will be destroyed in a single blow.」

「「Eh!?」」

The two of them immediately look around.

I really think I have to take care of them.

Just as I was about to let out a big sigh, a shiver ran through my entire body.

A tremendous power was coming toward us.

「「Oh!?」」

As expected, these two idiots seemed to have noticed and made frightened noises.

Are these two dogs quite scared?

They are not only dumb asses but scaredy cats too?

…….why do I have to share body with the two of them?

「What the hell was that!」

「That’s monstrous.」

「Shut up!」

I mean, what is that power?

No, I seem to remember the feeling of that power somewhere but…..where?

As I glance out of the shell, something in the shape of a person enters from what appears to be the entrance.

At that moment, the power overflowing from the person covers the entire room and seeps into the shell, which is supposed to be impervious to any power.

「Uwaaa, it seeped into the shell!」

「What the! There’s no crack, how? Did it crack?」

No.

It’s because he’s too powerful.

Areh?

However, his power is not painful.

If anyone gets in contact with the exact opposite power, he would feel pain.

Does that mean that he’s from our side?

In other words, a demon?

But there are divine beasts here?

They don’t seem to be suffering when I look at them.

A power that doesn’t hurt those who serve god and those who serve the demon king?

According to my knowledge, there’s no such power.

「Hey.」

「Shut up a little」

I’m in the middle of thinking so please be quiet.

「Hey!」

「What!」

「That awesome power is getting into us, right?」

「Eh?」

I feel an unknown power rushing through our body.

It is indeed slowly but steadily penetrating into our body.

「I kind of feel lighter.」

「Yeah, it feels good.」

「…..I guess so.」

Come to think of it, I had lost consciousness due to lack of power.

I should have remembered it immediately but it’s all clear now.

…..I examine the power in our body.

So far, around 80% of our power has been restored.

What is his power?

I want to think that he’s a demon since his power is restoring our power and not attacking us but the power I feel is too clean.

Clean power should have been harmful to us……

At least that’s what should have happened.

「Good morning. This is the first time I’ve seen all three of you awake.」

「「「Eh?」」」

What should I do? I think I’m as dumb as the two.

The shell should have prevented anyone outside from seeing us.

He’s not supposed to see us…and yet he can see the three of us.

Somehow, I lift my paw and wave it from side to side.

「Oh, you’re responding today.」

After saying that, he waved his hand back too.

No doubt, he can see us.

「Your lordship, what are you doing?」

The divine beast that had been watching over us called out to the unidentified person who was waving at us.

He is called his lordship?

Should we call him his lordship too?

…….I think we must.

「The three of them are all awake. Plus, they waved their paw at me. They’re cute.」

C.U.T.E.

「Is this guy blind?」

「I think so. Nobody ever looks at us and says we are cute.」

That’s normal because we have big eyes, big mouths, and sharp fangs.

There’s no demon that would call us cute.

「Your lordship can see what’s inside the shell? However, are your eyes alright? How can you say that a Cerberus is cute?」

That’s what concerned you, you divine beast.

「No, my eyes are okay.」

Your eyes are okay? But you said we are cute?

「By the way, what should we do with this Cerberus once it hatches from the egg? If they want to go back, I’ll do my best to help them. Though I hope they’ll stay here～」

「「「Hnn?」」」

Are they discussing their plan with us?

Yeah, if things continue as it is, our shell will crack in this unfamiliar place.

I have no knowledge about a Cerberus egg hatching outside the demon world.

I mean….what are we supposed to do?

But still, from what he just said, he’s looking at us in a friendly way.

That’s really helpful.

My instincts are telling me not to make an enemy of the person in front of me.

「What should we do? What can we do! They are discussing how to kill us!」

「They’re going to kill us after all!」

「……………………………….shut up! Did you even hear what they said?」

「「Eh?」」

Ah, why should I be with them?

「It looks like you are fighting. Are you okay? You should get along, You were born together.」

Ah….your lordship, don’t say something embarrassing.

「Fuh. It is as you said, your lordship. However, thinking that I need to take care of these two in the future, I’m already troubled.」

Ah, the shell was in the way so he wouldn’t be able to hear me.

Now I’ve done it.

When I looked beside me, I saw the two looking at me suspiciously.

「One of them seems kind of gloomy. Is it still not strong enough?」

「Maybe. It depleted its power before it lost consciousness after all.」

When the small divine beast said that, the one called his lordship gently stroked our egg.

I myself was not directly stroked but a gentle power softly caressed my body.

Good good good.

「「「………….it feels good」」」

Don’t～.

When I’m stroked by this gentle power, my whole body relaxes.

His lordship is stronger than anyone from my knowledge.

He takes my strength away just by stroking me and it feels soooooo good.
