Chapter 17 (1/2)
I poured my magic power into the white beast egg.
There was a feeling as if my magic was being rapidly absorbed, like a cloth soaking up water.
All right, wake up quickly.
--Sixty seconds later.
--Five minutes later.
--Fifteen minutes later.
”All this time and still nothing! How long is it going to go on like this?”
”It's been dormant for a long time, and I think it's a creature that originally possessed a lot of magical power.”
''You mean it will take a while for it to regain it's full power?”
Looking at Marianne and the others, they were busy storing their relics using Magic Storage.
Forgive me, Count, I am using your daughter to steal things from ancient civilizations. And of course, the same goes for Urara.
When Marianne noticed my gaze, she wiped her sweat with her dirty hands and smiled.
”I hope you don't mind. I'm quite fond of this kind of work, and I'd like to have more access to the various relics.”
”Fufu, the young lady likes antiques.”
”You're just like your father, my lady, but I'm sure if you keep wearing those dirty clothes, he'll have a stroke.”
I don't have to worry about anything.
all three seemed to be having fun.
However, how long do I have to keep injecting more magic power into this egg?
Why not speed up the process and transfer all the power in one fell swoop?
I stopped controlling my power and allowed it to flow unchecked. The surface of the egg became so thick because of all the power it received.
”Such incredible magic power... I can feel it even in my skin...”
Kaede muttered in a cold sweat.
The magic absorbed by the egg began to gradually diminish and finally stopped.
The amount of magic power I poured was 30% of the total.
And that was the first egg... I wonder how much the second one will need.
”It seems to be waking up.”
”Now all that's left is to drip blood?”
I pull out a knife and press it against my fingertips.
”Eh?”
The tip of the knife did not penetrate my skin. No matter how hard I pressed, it couldn't hurt me.
I thought it was a good quality knife.
There was no other choice, so I drew my sword and cut the tip of my finger.
As expected, the sacred sword is extraordinarily sharp.
Pot, Pot.
Blood drips onto the egg, and the next moment it is absorbed and disappears.
Fwishhhhhhhhhhhhh
A kind of steam is released from the egg. The elastic shell, much like a peeled fruit, opened into six pieces from the top of the head.
Inside it was something covered in mucus.
It shook its body and opened its eyes.
It was a round white creature. The surface of its body is covered with short hairs and a blue eye like a crystal ball observes the surroundings.
The sensitively moving eye was immediately fixed on me.
”Huh? Is it floating?”
The creature began to float slightly. After that, it kept floating around me as it watched me.
”How cute! It's such a beautiful creature!”
”I don't know what it is.”
It looks like a living cushion.
”Come here, I'll wash you.”
”Kui?”
”That was a squeak!”
Kaede was shocked, while I grabbed some water from the bottle, and cleaned the animal until I got all the mucus off. Once clean, it looked even more like a cushion.
”Look, I can sit on it.”
The animal can support Kaede's weight without any difficulty and still continue floating.
Gunyon
It then slightly changed its shape and became an oval.
”Maybe it's one of those animals that specializes in transporting people and objects...”
”Master, maybe we should name it.”
”That's a good idea, how about Panda?”
”That's a nice name! I agree!”
I named it that because it resembles a piece of white bread.
Panda seemed to like it, and squealed
”Kyui!”
”Toru-Sama, we're done here. Oh, what a cute little creature.”
”This is Panda, the creature that was in the egg. Come on, say hello to Marianne and Urara.”
”Kyui.”
