Chapter 17: Reen- The Glutenous Beast (1/2)

Chapter 18: Aunt Nina Returns

Eren had already hidden his lot of ID stones safely But what should he do with Reen?

Reen was a special case aible body made it easy for Eren to take her around with him everywhere But in the end, she was a C Rank beast

Reen could stay hidden from low-level hunters if she didn’t use her powers or didn’t leak her aura But Eren wasn’t sure the same would happen with other hunters ere also C Rank and above

Plus, aunt Nina was a C Rank healer Her perception of herbs and animals was especially keen and intuitive How can he hide Reen fro senses?

Eren decided to ask Reen what she could do to make it look like she wasn’t a beast Reen didn’t understand at first Eren had to explain to her slowly he didn’t want her exposed or identified as a beast for the ti

Reen didn’t take any offence in that Those concepts were very far away fro her master’s request

Reen understood that her inal intangible state She just kept on changing her shapes and asking if that was enough

Eren saw Reen take the shapes of various huic beasts in miniature forms He was shocked Reen could double up as her victims that she had eaten before He asked her to assuinal sizes and she did He was impressed with Reen and caressed her jelly-like sliinal form

Eren would think about how to use Reen’s ability to double up as someone else later First, he needed to think about the current probleanic for He needed to show her what he inal objects She spread over those objects to get a sense of the them into their replica

Eren took hold of thein his hand He couldn’t spot even the inal and the fake one

Eren had to explain patiently what he meant to Reen Reen had aactual eyes in her original foret retracted to itsher to close her eyes while assu her stay blind and unable to move or feel

Reen enquired as the purpose of doing this It was a simple question But Eren didn’t think she would ask that this early All this ti on command-and-follow principles But it was apparent that the beast was getting smarter He shouldn’t underestimate a C Rank demon beast, after all Eren made a note to hi period, she’ll get to have good food And that finally made sense to her

Do some work to have food!

That was a concept any human and animal would understand, not just the demon beast

Reen assu Eren was rankless but he could feel a subtle change after Reen retracted all of her sense of being He felt like it was an old, often used coffeethat could change its shape anytime

Eren had these institutions thanks to his past life experiences So he could at least feel such minute differences in objects and people when he was in physical contact with theuise would work on Nina or not But now he had done all that he could He would think about altered explanations if and when aunt Nina finds out the demon beast’s existence

While he was busy in his thoughts, Eren heard some commotion downstairs He knew aunt Nina had arrived
