The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 99 (1/2)
The Cerabbed Vandalieu, who had joined a circle of Knochen’s Skeletons in a bonodori dance to celebrate Sam and Knochen’s increase in Rank
“I kind of want to eat breakfast soon,” Vandalieu told them
Buzz-buzz-buzz
It see er
Vandalieu could understand the intentions of the insects that he had tamed to some extent, but he couldn’t understand them completely He possibly could if he used his spirit-form to fuse with them, but –
“The queen is calling”
“Calling, the queen is”
Vandalieu only knew that the queen bee was calling him
These were bee hts of each individual worker bee were too simple to have a conversation
Incidentally, Saoodbye as Vandalieu left
Since he was hungry, Vandalieu started eating vegetables that were growing fro Technique skill And then they arrived at the Ceer
Buzz-buzz-buzz
A Ceer than a worker bee, fleards Vandalieu
Cemetery Bees lived in a similar way to nor all of the bees in the group Even if they hunted ene would receive Experience Points
The Ce worker bees to soldier bees fro would take the opportunity to separate the the nest This was an instinctual desire, so there was nothing to be done about it
Vandalieu understood that the protection of the nest and queen was thefor bees, so he only equipped worker bees in his body with the Insect Binding Technique skill
The problem was –
“I’ve told you, not raw,” Vandalieu protested
The soldier bees were holding caterpillar dangos in their forelegs
Vandalieu wasn’t reluctant to eat bugs, but it see them raw
Feeling hesitant to use fire inside the nest, in the end, Vandalieu decided to si them
“What if I had ht that had suddenly occurred to him
Darcia blinked “Vandalieu, we don’t knohat ‘dreadlocks’ are, so I don’t knohat kind of expression I should be wearing”
“It’s a hairstyle like this”
Vandalieu used Thread-reeling to change the shape of his own hair into dreadlocks to show his mother Darcia, who had been tortured and burned to death at the stake and now currently resided in a sment as a spirit He had a lot of hair to ith, suitable for having in dreadlocks
Having his hair bundled together felt pleasant against the back of his neck and his pointed ears, too Vandalieu thought that perhaps he should have this hairstyle until autumn came
“Wow, it really looks like there are white caterpillars attached to your head,” Darcia remarked “Is ‘dreadlock’ a word for ‘caterpillar’ on Earth?”
“… I don’t think so,” said Vandalieu
Foreseeing athat couldn’t be considered a joke if it spread, he quickly returned his hair to normal
Meanwhile, the queen bee, as even larger than the soldier bees, approached, accompanied by numerous other bees
She didn’t appear to be in such a desperate state that she needed to call Vandalieu here so desperately
Buzz-buzz-buzz
Click-click-click
With her wings beating and her jaw and exoskeleton
“I see And then?” Vandalieu nodded and prompted her to continue
Seeing this exchange repeat itself several times, Darcia shuddered as she whispered to herself “I-I don’t understand Umm, what is a mother supposed to do at a time like this?!”
She didn’t knohat her son and his friend were talking about What was she to do?
This wasn’t a rare concern for a parent raising a child, but as the correct anshen that friend was an enormous insect?
She requested an answer, a translation, from her son
“She is saying that she wants to be reborn in an egg that she is about to lay in order to evolve further,” Vandalieu explained
“I see,” said Darcia “But is increasing her Rank not enough? She still has time to live, doesn’t she?”
Every ain Experience Points, reach level 100 and then increase in Rank once they met certain conditions
Thus, an increase in Rank was certainly possible for the Cemetery Bee Queen as well What reason was there for the queen bee to abandon her current life and ask Vandalieu for a pseudo-reincarnation?
“I’ve asked that as well; she’s apparently received ‘guidance,’” said Vandalieu
“You mean from the Guider Job?” Darcia asked, surprised
Vandalieu nodded “I don’t reh”
Sam and Knochen had received its effects ie to think that the Cemetery Bees were under its effects as well
However, it was strange that Vandalieu, the one who had supposedly guided the so
In legends and heroic tales, the chaiven people instructions, taught thethened their friendshi+ps and bonds with their followers and overcaether The effects of the ‘Guidance’ skills on the folloere said to be a result of having experienced such events
In Vandalieu’s case, he had simply had a feast with everyone on the first day that he acquired the Job
“If everyone’s Ranks increase because of that, it would be fine to have a feast every day for a while,” said Vandalieu
Buzz-buzz-buzz
“Eh, a dream? Come to think of it, I did have one, which is rare,” said Vandalieu
“Oh my, you always say that you don’t have dreams What kind of dream did you have?” Darcia asked
“It was a drea in a dark place onif anyone would coether,” Vandalieu replied
He had been taken for a ride through a starless night sky, guided to a sturdy fortress, as
Now that he remembered it, it was possible that those were Sam and Knochen
“Fufu, it’s good that you had a nice drea at her son
This had resulted in the birth of a Nighte and a Bone Fort From the perspective of the Church of Alda, which was hostile to Undead, and the Adventurers’ Guild that would send out requests to exter to smile about
“In any case, if I guided them, I can’t stop those who answered me,” said Vandalieu “I’ll do as they ask of me”
The queen bee gave a happy click of her jaw as she gave birth to a single egg into Vandalieu’s outstretched hands
“Well then, let us ain,” Vandalieu said
He extracted the queen bee’s soul He had thought that it would be difficult to extract a soul froreed to it, or perhaps this was another effect of Guidance: Demon Path, he was able to extract it smoothly
The serain of rice that was already the size of a human baby, now contained the soul of the queen bee The body that she had been living in up until now fell to the ground
“By the way, Vandalieu, who’s going to take care of that egg?” Darcia asked
“The Cemetery Bees… huh?” Vandalieu looked around to see that the other Cemetery Bees had returned to their daily work
After using Preservation to prevent the queen bee’s body fro
“To think that I would be raising a second child so quickly”
Incidentally, Pauvina was the first
But Pauvina, Jadal, Varbie and Rapiéçage seemed unhappy with this
“I was never treated like that,” Pauvina protested
“Me neither”
“I wanted to be treated like that”
Rapiéçage groaned in agreement
Pauvina, ould turn five years old this year, was already as tall as an adult huht-year-old child Girls developed quickly… or rather, this was likely the influence of her blood originating frohts of three meters and developed much faster than humans
Bilde’s daughter Varbie and Basdia’s daughter Jadal were as adorable as four and five-year-old children should be, while Rapiéçage… hadn’t changed That was to be expected, as she was a Patchwork Zombie
The ‘treat his tongue and licking the queen bee’s egg
“… I’,” he said He was sis, so he was bewildered by the protests of Pauvina and the other girls
“Well then, lick row on me!”
“I row even if I don’t lick you”
“Eh, lick me!”
“It’s interesting how you lick it”
It see to around fourto the girls Perhaps it was the sa to cat toys
It was a cute, childish behavior, but also problematic
“Augh?” Rapiéçage groaned
“No, you really don’t need it,” said Vandalieu, looking up at her and thinking about the s that could happen if he did lick her
Rapiéçage had the wings of a pterosaur, a tail extending froer on the end, the arres past the elbows and knees, a sensual wo woman
It was only natural for Vandalieu to feel hesitant to lick her
In Talosheim, the fact that she was Undead or that there were stitches all over her body weren’t going to be accepted as excuses
“I am sorry to interrupt your conversation, but may I have a word, Danna-sama?”
Bellmond, who had been instructed to come to Vandalieu’s personal workshop beneath the castle, seemed disturbed as she called out to her master as, for so care of an insect’s egg
It seemed that these circumstances ithin acceptable li else nearby that she was more curious about
“Ah, Bellmond, thank you for your hard work,” said Vandalieu “I was thinking of having you look over your surgery plan”
“It’s Bellmond!” Pauvina exclaimed
“Hi!” said Jadal
“hello, Ojou-sa the children “So, Danna-sa?”
‘That thing’ that Belllanced at pointedly was an object that had been placed next to her former master Ternecia, as now a Live-Dead inside a capsule, subed in a mysterious fluid
It resembled a female mannequin made of white stone It had been elaborately s could move at any moment
It was the sath as hers, while the bulge in its chest and around its hips were about the same as the Live-Dead Ternecia
“Yes,” Vandalieu said
Seeing that he showed no signs of guilt whatsoever, Bellmond clutched her chest
“… Danna-sa me a body with such excessively attractive features?” she asked
“Well, it will be difficult to es in the shape of your chest, so I was thinking of siht onto yours,” Vandalieu explained
“I am your servant, Danna-sama,” said Bellmond “If you wish to tamper with my body and do as you please with it for your own amusement then I am prepared to accept my fate, but –”
“That’s a horrible thing to say about me,” said Vandalieu “I’m quite confident in how I treat people”
“I understand Do as you will, Danna-sama”
