Chapter 394: Let's Call Him Uncle

Miritia Town, Mayor's Residence

U, uncle... this guy...

Lyle was shuddering. He was shuddering as he watched the giant cat in front of him lick his foreleg. And when the giant cat finished licking, he put his foreleg aside, looked at Lyle, and briefly cried out.

Naago

That cat's name was Shippuu. The partner Jinrai was given by Yuuko-nee. And for Jinrai, that lovable giant cat was like Yuuko-nee's and his own child, and he had no hesitation in stating that. And unlike Yuuko-nee, he was a being with substance rather than a summoned beast.

His body length was close to 3 meters, and like a Siberian cat or Maine Coon, he had a graceful appearance with long fur. And he had characteristic black and silver stripes on his entire body.

Also, his attributes were Wind and Lightning, and his means of combat were lightning claws and kamaitachi. However, his mobility was his main ability, and above all, since he was born to be Jinrai's partner, unlike Yuuko-nee, he was capable of coordinated attacks that were almost perfectly synchronized with Jinrai.

In other words, a human and cat as one body.

Shippuu was the only cat in the world for that purpose.

Can I call you Oji-sama?

Naaaa

After Emily spoke, Shippuu happily raised both front legs.

Ah, jeez, you're cute. I warmly welcome an uncle like you.

Naago Naago!

When Emily hugged him, Shippuu happily purred. He didn't seem dissatisfied at all.

Fufufu, you're getting along well. After all, we're family.

Yeah. Grandfather. Right, Uncle Shippuu?

Naago!

Emily and Shippuu nodded at the same time after Jinrai's words. At that situation, Lyle slowly backed away until he was next to Naoki.

Naoki, please listen. When I noticed, my grandpa had another child, a younger brother of my old man. Moreover, he's a cat. What do you think?

Cindy-san's going to flip out, isn't she?... that's what I think.

Aah, there's also that?!

After Naoki's words, Lyle was further troubled and shouted.

Well, I have a nephew who's a dragon, so it's a bit late for that.

While saying that, Naoki took a bite of the roast chicken in one of his hands. His other hand was holding wine made in this Miritia Town. It seemed it was this town's specialty.

And all the people surrounding Naoki's group were also lively.

It was currently the night of the day when the Brutuzas were defeated. And the location was the courtyard of Miritia Town's mayor's residence. A festival was set up there, and the members who participated in the subjugation as well as the townspeople were boisterously eating as they conversed.

Among them, the mayor was curled up on himself in a corner, and Tiara was in front of him with a troubled expression. This time's matter should be spread even to the coronation... for the sake of that story, Tiara had to reveal her identity, but naturally, from the standpoint of a mere town mayor, a princess appeared in front of him, so it was no wonder that he was frightened.

He was in the middle of retracing his memories to answer the suspicion (when we met, I complained about how help couldn't come due to the coronation ceremony, didn't I?)

In addition, as they also discussed with the members of the other parties, they made arrangements to ensure that Princess Tiara's participation in the subjugation became included in the rumors. At the same time, they also forbade them to speak about Tatsuo's appearance. The degree to which they would keep silent was unknown, but they were told that a national-scale problem would occur if they talked, so thinking normally, they probably wouldn't talk about it. An adventurer of decently high rank understood the risks of going against a nation. Nobody wanted to die due to gossiping.

Well then, shall we return soon?

And when the celebration party calmed down, Kazane said that.

Nn, Aneki. Are we going already?

As Naoki continued stuffing his cheeks with chicken, Kazane nodded. Tatsuo cried Kuwaa on top of her head. He was a little bigger, but he could still perch on her head. According to an email from Ao, it seemed he would stay the same size until his molting, which would happen after a few years. Also, Ao told them he was currently on his way to Tsuvara, so he couldn't talk to Naga.

Mother, this is delicious, don't you think?

Tatsuo was eating while holding roast chicken in one hand and Crystallized spare ribs in the other. The ban on eating had lifted today, so he was having his fill. Seeing that, Kazane asked.

Tatsuo, which is more delicious: Crystallized meat or ordinary meat?

After those words, Tatsuo cried Kuwaa as he held out the roast chicken.

This one is more delicious.

Is that so.

However, for casually eating, this one is better.

So saying, he held out the Crystallized spare ribs.

But I feel like Brutuza raw meat was the absolute best.

After Tatsuo's words, Kazane nodded in understanding.

For the time being, Kazane planned to mainly feed Tatsuo Brutuza meat. Non-monster animal meat didn't affect evolution, but meat from a monster that had already caused evolution also had little effect. It would be a problem if she gave him all sorts of things and caused strange evolutions, so she was planning to think it over and start giving him things while watching his state.

Also, the current Tatsuo had more Magic Power than before, and his resistance to both physical and magical effects had been strengthened. Also, Kazane had finished verifying with Dragon Pheromone that he had superb resistance to the Dragon Eater scent.

And the biggest evolution was that he obtained a defensive measure called Crystal Shield. It seemed the Brutuza Factor reacted with Material Shield, and he became able to put up physical barriers made of crystal in midair.

When Kazane saw that, she mutteredPerhaps... he could do focusing and diffusion, right?, but Tatsuo didn't understand what she meant, so he had tilted his head and criedKuwaa?

Oi. You said you're going to return, but it's already this late? Does the White Party have business that's so urgent?

Han Mock had heard Kazane and the others' conversation and called out to them.

Yeah. We don't have any time to spare.

Kazane replied to Han Mock with a bitter smile. There were 3 days left until the coronation. They had to arrive at the royal capital the day before it happened, which was the day after tomorrow. If they drove quickly starting tomorrow morning, they should barely make it in time. As might be expected, with the subjugation earlier in the day, they planned to rest that night.

Me, Tatsuo, Yuuko-nee, and Naoki alone have some minor business that we have to take care of.

Naoki felt depressed that he was nonchalantly placed at the end of the list. He was a troublesome younger brother.

Is that so? But it's dangerous at night?

Ah, we'll be fine. We have the Hippomaru-kuns. But due to that, we can't lend carriages toMeteor RainandWind's Master.

After those words, Vokka and Terrace to the side both saidNo problem.

Although it had been nearby, they had completely relied on them for the subjugation, so for the people themselves, relying on them anymore would be a peerlessly apologetic situation.

Then Kazane saidDon't be late to the coronationwhile waving her hand as she rode away on the Hippomaru-kuns with Naoki and Tatsuo. Yuuko-nee was keeping pace with them to the side.

Though after they got a little distance from Miritia Town, Kazane and the others planned to use theReturn Staketo jump to Trade City Uumin. Then, they would cure the Hirukos tomorrow, build houses in Kazane Magic Hot Spring Town the next day, then jump to the royal capital for the coronation ceremony.

Why are we so busy?

Kazane grumbled. Naoki simply shrugged and bitterly smiled.

And at a suitable place, Kazane and the others got away from the highway and immediately jumped to Trade City Uumin.

Kazane: We have an overcrowded schedule, but Yumika and the others also have it pretty rough, right?

Yumika: Well, rather, I'm anxious about whether it's really ok for us to arrive only the day before the coronation ceremony.

Kazane: It's a little late for that. It can't be helped, right?

Yumika: Well, that's true.
