Transformation

—–END OF STATS —–

After successfully appraising the fox, it turned out that it was really a monster since it had a transformation skill . More of a fact that it also had a name, Nayame, which could only mean that someone gave it that name, as if someone else is also aware of the existence of this monster on Earth . Though I wonder who might have named this monster like that . As I continued to analyze the situation, I found something strange, and asked Meru about it .

“How did you knew that it’s a monster?”

I took out my phone and looked at Meru while pondering the situation .

“I brought various information with me the last time we visited my former master’s room to teach him a lesson as you ordered, Desu . ”

I just remembered that I sent her to Metron’s room when I was about to start my first fight against Scala . I totally forgot about it from the intense battle . Karen who was listening to our conversation grabbed my shoulder and showed an expression as if she were asking for an explanation .

“Hey, what were you talking about now? Is there something here I can’t see?”

She shook me back and forth from my shoulder while insisting for an answer . Despite her persistence, I still found it somewhat difficult to explain the situation for her .

“Ah, yeah! Well, there is fox monster here and—”

“I want to see it . ”

The moment she heard the word ‘fox’ from me, Karen said that she wanted to see it with her calm and usual voice tone . She may look passive from her expression, but she was definitely interested in the fox monster . I could notice how her eyes are slightly more open than usual, which often implies her curiosity .

However, even if she asked me to show it to her, I don’t think I have the ability do that . I wonder how am I supposed to tell this little sister of mine whose brimming with curiosity that she can’t see the fox right now . As I kept thinking of a way to tell her that, Meru said something completely unexpected, and save me from the trouble .

“That should be possible, Desu . ”

Immediately after hearing those words, Karen stopped shaking me back and forth and turned to look at Meru inside my phone, and asked her for confirmation in surprise .

“Really?”

“Yes . Master, please hold hand with Karen-sama . ”

“Eh? Uh, okay . ”

I followed Meru’s instruction and grabbed Karen’s hand . Having her hand held by me all of a sudden, Karen looked at her hand as if it were itchy, but I paid it no mind .

“Master, you need to provide some of your magic power to Karen-sama through your hands, Desu . ”

“Is she going to be fine if I did that?”

I kind of feel like providing her with my magic is dangerous as her body might not be able to endure it or something like that .

“It won’t cause a problem if it’s just a small amount of magic, Desu . If you provide her with more magic than the required amount, then it may get dangerous, Desu . ”

I need to be careful in that case . I closed my eyes and concentrated on Karen’s hand . I started pouring a small amount of my magic energy into her and naturally pumped more strength into my hand while still grabbing her hand tightly .

“Hn......”

Karen let out a faint noise and stiffened her body from feeling my magic streaming inside of her . I believe this is enough for now, I need to stop pouring more magic .

“Can you see it now?”

I stopped pouring my magic into her then asked if she can see the fox . Though judging from the impressed reaction she revealed by looking at behind the small shrine, I think that she can see it now .

“It’s really there . And it has two tails . ”

It looks like she can clearly see it now . Meru advised me to not let go of her hand even if she can see it well, so I kept holding onto her hand just in case . Now that this problem is solved, I turned to look at the fox once again . The two tails aren’t due to my illusion, after all . I then asked Meru about the reason for this monster to be on Earth .

“Hey, Meru . Why is there a monster here, on Earth? Isn’t the God of this world supposed to be dead? Didn’t he die a long ago?”

Metron is supposed to be responsible for the Earth right now, but I don’t think that he is smart enough to manage the monsters here on Earth . He’d rather get absorbed in his own games instead .

“Uuum, let’s see... “

Meru took out a bundle of paper out of nowhere and checked them before continuing .

“Long ago, the God of this world used to spawn monsters in a different way than any other God would spawn them . ”

“A different way?”

Meru nodded to my question .

“He created the monsters in a way that they’d be able to grow like humans . Unlike the monsters in the world of my former master, the monsters here have a high intelligence and ego . The God of this planet created them in the hopes that they would coexist with humans in near future, Desu . ”

So long story short, the monsters here have intelligence and ego so that they could co-exist with humans . As I was pondering over Meru’s explanation, I noticed that this fox looks like a creature I’ve already heard of .

“Could it be that these monsters are called as ‘Youkai’ by the humans living on the Earth?”

“That’s is correct, Desu . They are also called as ‘Demons’ in other places . ”

After having Meru affirm my doubt, I revealed an astonished expression while Karen sparkled her eyes and stared at the fox . So Youkai do exist after all! I was speechless there for a moment after realizing this shocking truth while at the meantime, Karen asked Meru about something interesting .

“But why aren’t there any youkai around anymore? This is my first time seeing a Youkai . ”

Meru replied by telling Karen to wait as she turned the pages of the papers she was holding in her hands . A short moment later, she found what she was looking for and continued .

“At first, Youkais were created in a way that they stay invisible to human beings, however, one day, a human incidentally witnessed a youkai and got frightened by its appearance which led him to immediately resort to a violent solution; that is, to exterminate the Youkai, Desu . ”

Karen and I frowned upon hearing Meru’s explanation on the matter . I can easily predict the rest of this story . That is the foolish nature of humans; they assault anything that frightens them .

“After that, Youkai feared that humans would exterminate them and decided to never show up in front of them again . There was also a small group of Youkai that chose to counterattack, but humans started using sorcery and exorcism in order to deal with them . ”

I have heard similar stories as well . As Meru continued to divulge into the history of Youkai and humans, I remained silent and continued to listen to her while guessing the outcome .

“Humans continued to defeat all the Youkai who decided to counterattack . The God of Earth then stripped the humans of their abilities in a haste which resulted in a relatively peaceful environment for Youkai . It was at that time when the God of Earth passed away . Thereafter, Youkai stayed invisible for the humans except for those who harbored enough magical energy to see them . Until now, they are still living while hiding from the eyes of humans, Desu . ”

As she finished reading the document that was in her hand, Meru asked for my thoughts, but I couldn’t answer her at that time as I was still astounded by the excessive information . It was quite the dark history . Karen was probably thinking the same thing since she looked somewhat sad .

“That was a sorrowful story . ”

“Yes . ”

Even Meru agreed with me . If humans didn’t mess up from the start, we could have been living in a completely different society today . As I kept on thinking about the possible future outcomes that we could be living today, Karen shook my shoulder again and pointed at the fox .

“Aren’t you going to help it?”

Ah! I completely forgot that the fox was wounded while listening to Meru’s explanation . I moved my hand to the place where the fox was wounded and created a faint light that covered his wound for a few seconds . When I removed my hand from the wound, it had already disappeared without leaving a trace . It should be alright now . The fox slowly opened its eyes and looked confused .

“Hm? Where am I?”

“!!?”

??!!”

The next moment the voice of a child left its mouth . Both I and Karen widened our eyes from the surprise .

Did this fox just speak?

I did somehow anticipate that it is capable of speaking, but witnessing it speaking like this is still amazing and astonishing . I shook my head to control my emotions and tried talking to the fox .

“Are you okay? You seemed to be wounded earlier . ”

“Eh? A-A human?!”

The fox was surprised to see me and glared at me for a moment, but once he realized that I was human, it promptly stood up and made a distance from me . Well, I guess that’s the natural reaction it would do if a human suddenly talks to him . He kept staring at me while shivering, so I tried calming him down .

“We’re not planning to harm you . Rather, I’ve just healed your wound . ”

“Healed my wound?”

“You were hurt in your leg, were you not? I healed your wound for you . If I wanted to harm you, I’d have done so long ago . ”

After listening and understanding my explanation, the fox looked at his leg and let out a delighted voice after confirming that it had been healed . It then started running around us for short while before it came near me .

“Thank you for helping me!”

“Glad you’re okay . ”

With a smile, I patted the fox’s head . It then started purring like a cat while enjoying that pat . Karen who saw me doing so told me that she wanted to pat it as well . We then took our turns in patting the fox .

“It’s good that it’s okay, Desu . ”

“Yeah . ”

I left Karen to pat the fox as she muttered about how cute it was frequently, and replied to Meru . When Karen got tired from patting it, she moved back her hand . The fox turned to look at me once again and talked me .

“Uwa! Human!! You have a great spiritual power!!”

“Spiritual power?”

“That’s another term for saying magic, Desu . ”

I tilted my head while confused, but luckily Meru explained me of what the fox meant . So, Youkai can measure people’s magic, sounds interesting . The fox who noticed my overwhelming amount of magic began to happily run around me again .

“Yeey!! This is the chance for Ouka-sama to be saved!!”

Again, I didn’t quite get what it was talking about . The fox stopped running and came to ask me for a favor .

“Please!! Come with me to meet Ouka-sama!!”

“Ouka-sama?”

Who’s this Ouka? Before I was able to ask the fox, it had already run over to the small shrine and was asking us to follow it .

“Follow me!!”

When we started following, the fox dashed into the small shrine and disappeared . I was taken aback when it vanished all of a sudden, but then assumed that it used some sort of teleportation magic .

“What are we going to do now?”

Karen, while still holding my hand, asked for my answer . I contemplated for a moment and answered her right away .

“We’re following him . ”

It doesn’t seem like he has set up a trap for us . Even if it were the case, I can use my 【Time – Space Magic】to manage it somehow . Karen approved my decision and prepared herself . I extended my hand to the shrine and right when my finger touched it, the scenery in front of my eyes got engulfed by a white light .

“?!”

The light was too bright that I reflexively covered my eyes with my hands . The next thing we knew, Karen and I disappeared from that place .

“Yeah, it was cute . ”

“Hey, hey, where are you going?”

“I’m going to hunt it . Gotta get rid of any threat . ”

“Stop it . ”
