CHAPTER 49 – PET NUMBER TWOA disaster, the city is under the siege of Giants!
Is what I thought, but this is apparently a daily routine.
It’s said that in Janyuraba one becomes adult only after successfully hunting a Giant.
「Strength」is their faith, Roman gladiator-like fights are often held for entertainment.
The beastmen have their image dyed with blood and it’s indeed the truth.
――The above is〈Pinnacle of Information〉-san’s information.
We fly over the Giants in the RV.
There are few guys who notice us, but no one can reach us.
At that time, I heard a sudden scream in the wind.
「Hiiii, impossible, impossible! Absolutely impossible! There’s no way I can defeat such a big fellowssuuuu!」
A Mazoku is desperately running away from a Giant.
That is…… a tiger. No, a Weretiger.
There’s also a butler from a different Mazoku race scolding the Weretiger.
This one is a Werewolf with a pretty silver fur.
「Touga-sama! If you say something like that you won’t be able to become a man!」
「I’m a female ssuyoooo!」
Apparently, she(?) is hunting for the Giants in order to become an adult. She has been just running around, though.
She was called -sama so she possibly is of a high standing. That wolf person looks butler-ish.
「Gyaa!」
Ah, she fell down.
「Hiiii!」
The Giant approaches, the tiger backs off. It seems that she’s unable to stand up.
She desperately calls for help with tears in her eyes and mucus dripping from her nose.
「Jii! Save me ssu! Quickly! At this rate, I will become the Giant’s food ssu!」
「If you give up here you won’t be able to become a man」
「Jiiiiii!? I told you that I’m a female ssuuuuu!」
The Giants stretches its hand and seizes the tiger’s body.
「Gyaaaaa! No ssu! I don’t want to be eaten by such disgusting fellow ssu! Let it at least be an ikemen Giant ssuuuuu!」
The tiger cries, but the butler only keeps on looking.
Ah, eh? She will really get eaten at this rate……?
「W, what do we do?」
「Let’s see…… I’m wondering whether my hand could slip a little……」
「Papa」
There, Filia looks up at my face.
She’s somewhat eager.
I see. She wants to gallantly appear as a hero and save a person in a pinch. Where did you learn that from?
Maa, Filia-tan is cute, so let’s leave it to Filia.
「Yosh, go, my daughter!」
「Wa~i!」
When I give her permission, Filia jumps out of the window.
Then, when the tiger is about to get eaten by the Giant,
「Ei!」
――Bon!
Filia throws her fist and the Giant’s head――grotesquely――explodes.
「Gyasu!?」
The Giant falls flat on the ground and the freed tiger is thrown into the sky.
Filia makes a cool landing.
Rather, Filia-tan, haven’t you become stronger……?
Maa, it’s probably because of my〈Pinnacle of Experience〉.
This cheat skill not only doubles the experience I earn, but also allows us to share the experience between us.
In other words, Filia will the gain the amount of experience I earn, and I will gain the amount of experience Filia earns.
We have defeated quite a lot of monsters so far, so speaking in game terms, we have leveled up considerably.
When Filia approaches the tiger person who fell on her b.u.t.t, she cutely tilts her head「You ok~ay?」and asks.
The tiger makes a face that says she doesn’t understand whats going on, but she before long realizes what happened and lets out a big sigh of relief.
「I, I was saved ssuuuu!」
On the other hand, the butler groans in disappointment.
「Uumu. The plan was for you to awaken on the brink of being eaten, but……」
「There’s no way I can awaken so conveniently ssu!」
「No, the success rate so far is about ten percent, it’s a considerably effective method」
「The possibility of failure is that much bigger, ssu yone!?」
「One can only become a male adult after climbing over that wall」
「What a heartless country ssu ka! Also, how many times do I have to say it ssu, I’m a female ssu kara!」
「Yoosh, yosh, you had it hard~」
「Fueeen! What a gentle little girl ssu kaaaaa!」
Filia hugs the Weretiger’s head and gently pats her. She must had a hard time until now, as she’s shedding tears of grat.i.tude.
「You can see only the picture of a little girl being eaten by a tiger, huh……」
Tira next to me whispers. She’s right.
「This person is our country’s king, the West Maou Teuryu Rurukushen-sama’s fourth prince Touga Rurukushen-sama 」
「I told you I’m not a prince, but a princess ssu! How many times do I have to repeat myself ssu!」
The Weretiger Touga objects the Werewolf butler’s words.
「『No matter if my children are male or female, they have to become strong as much as possible』That is Maou-sama’s training policy」
「Father is too much Spartan!」
Surprisingly, it seems that this tiger girl is Maou’s daughter.
The butler is in charge of her training.
After Filia saved the tiger, we came along to Janyuraba.
It might have been anticlimactic, but we were able to pa.s.s without troubles thanks to Touga.
「Apart from that, you have really saved me ssu! I don’t know who or where did you come from ssu, but you are my lifesaver ssu! Enough to make me want to call you teacher ssu!」
Feeling grat.i.tude, Touga prostrates in front of Filia.
The people on the streets, rather, the Mazoku people on the street, I would like you to stop staring at us.
「Disciples, I don’t need them na no!」
Filia puffs out her chest proudly. No, that line wasn’t that great.
「Why ssu ka!?」
「I like pets better!」
「Then, I want you to make me your pet ssu!」
Eh, is that okay?
To become a little girl’s pet on your own, aren’t you Maou’s daughter even if a joke?
I can’t believe my words, Shiro is expressionless as always.
「I’m also a pet. Name’s Shiro」
「Then, I’m the number two ssu ne! Please take care of me, Shiro senpai ssu!」
「Best regards」
I don’t know what happened, but Maou’s daughter became my daughter’s pet……
「Is it alright to be saying something like that?」
When I ask just in case to make sure, the Werewolf in charge of training answers me.
「It would be better to inform Maou-sama first」
Please, give me your daughter as a pet, something like that?
No matter how tolerant the father, he would go berserk.
