Chapter 24— Unexpected 2

　A long time ago, no, is this a memory of my previous life?

　When I was a kid in my previous life, I once picked up an abandoned dog in my neighborhood.

　It must have been a newborn puppy.

　I met a dog that was shaking with his small body dirty and was thin enough to make its ribs stand out.

　I brought the puppy home with the desire to help the child.

　I had no doubt that the child would be saved when I got home.

　But my parents were horribly calm about it all.

"Who will take care of it? Can you do it? Can you grow it up with responsibility?"

　When I heard those words, I thought my real parents were bloodless and tearless demons who had no emotions.

　I just wondered if I would be allowed to take care of it by myself and allowed to raise a puppy.

　However, when I look back on it now, my parents' words at that time must have been correct.

　Taking care of living things is difficult.

　At that time, I was just feeding it, and I felt like I was taking care of it.

　But my parents, not me, paid for everything from the cost of purchasing food to the equipment for keeping dogs active, not to mention vaccinations and illnesses.

　I learned that by myself, now.

"As the number increases, the amount of food you eat is increasing ..."

　I took over the Familiar eggs from a peddler and started a business to breed them.

　First of all, the first stage was successfully cleared.

　All five eggs have hatched.

　By the way, Valkyrie and I decided to inject magic powers into eggs separately, but in the end there was no problem.

　This is because the eggs that Valkyrie hatched gave birth to Familiars that looked exactly like Valkyrie.

　However, the size of their bodies may be slightly smaller than the individuals born from the eggs I raised.

　However, they have the same characteristics as Valkyrie with two reindeer-like horns, a muscular body, and beautiful white hair.

　What will happen to the characteristics of a Familiar that humans raise, it will become a different species in the ecosystem?

　It was a subtle headache, but it's okay.

　There is a problem more important than that.

　The problem was about the food of the Familiars.

　It's not uncommon for a total of six to eat a lot every day.

　No matter how soon the Hatsuka I grow grows, the number is limited.

　It's still okay because I have some in a stockpile, but I'm sure it will run out in this situation.

"If this happens, I have to open up the forest. I have no choice but to increase the fields. Let's go, you guys."

""""""Qui~!""""""

　Seeing the ever-decreasing Hatsuka, I decided.

　It is not enough for a field created around the hideout to feed these Familiars, or even act as emergency rations in the case of an emergency.

　If I want to continue the Familiar business in the future, expanding the fields will be essential.

　As I stood up, I talked to Valkyrie and the others.

　And everyone squealed together to respond to my voice.

　* * *

"No, no, wait a minute. It's strange."

　Expansion of fields in the forest.

　It's usually a lot of work, but I have a system of steps I use to try to quickly finish the job.

　I soften the soil at the base of the trees that grow in the forest and knock down the trees along with the roots.

　After that, I move the fallen tree, and then perform [Leveling] and [Soil Improvement] to complete the field.

　Of course, I was willing to use this method last time.

　But as soon as I started doing that, I saw something that shouldn’t be possible.

　It was magic.

　I saw the Familiars using magic.

"Why can you use magic, even though I didn't give you names?"

　Yes, what surprises me is that it wasn't Valkyrie who used the magic.

　The growing Valkyrie Juniors, who are only a few days old, are using magic normally.

　Moreover, the lineup is life magic plus my original magic like Valkyrie.

　What exactly does this mean?

　Isn't magic something you can use universally only after the moment you name it?

　Perhaps the Familiars have a different natural law than humans?

　I don't understand at all.

　However, when I observed it, it seemed that all the individuals could use magic in the same way.

　There seems to be no difference in magic between the ones born from the eggs I gave them magical power and the ones raised by Valkyrie.

　Does that mean that all the races of these guys who will be born from the eggs of the Familiars can use magic in the same way?

　What exactly is this?

　For the time being, we may have to increase the number a little more and see what happens without selling them to the peddler.

　If I find that all the future Familiars can use magic, then I’ll think about it.

　Faced with an unforeseen situation, I abandoned my thoughts and set about expanding the field.

TLN: Haha~ When you are faced with a tough situation, just abandon it until when it comes to attention later!
