Chapter 20: 19

Chapter 19— Growth

　Crispy, mocha… mocha.

　There is such a sound in my hideout in the woods.

　The source of the sound is the Familiar that was sleeping on my legs that had been cross-legged.

　The Familiar had been sleeping for quite a long time, and when he woke up, he stretched his back and then landed on the floor.

　Then, after looking around, it moved to the corner of the room.

　The hideout is a brick house built in the woods.

　However, considering the area of ​​land obtained by cutting down trees and that the size of the hideout made was not so large, there was extra land left.

　Therefore, the vacant space was transformed into a field by the magic of [Soil Improvement], and Hatsuka, something that grows quickly, was planted.

　Hatsuka, which grows in a few days, was harvested and left in the hideout.

　Apparently, the Familiar woke up, found the Hatsuka and ate.

"Did you like it? There are so many that you can eat as much as you like."

　When I say so, my Familiar screeches lightly and dives right back into eating Hatsuka again.

　Apparently, this guy is herbivorous and eats Hatsuka deliciously.

　It was apparently tasty.

　I was wondering what to do if it could only eat meat.

　Compared to that, I can prepare as many Hatsuka as you like.

　I would suffer from the bitterness that would make me frown if I ate Hatsuka raw, but that doesn't seem to be the case with my Familiar.

　Isn't it good that it wants to eat that as the main food?

　I was relieved that raising my Familiar would not lead to an economic collapse due to food charges.

　* * *

"Hmm, you’ve grown up. How could you grow so fast?"

　About 10 days have passed since the Familiar was born.

　What does that mean?

　The Familiar, which was only small enough to fit in the palm of my hand when it was born, has grown so big now.

　Isn't the Familiar with fine horns growing from its head growing to the point where it's okay for a large adult to ride it in such a short time?

　Its growth is truly stunning.

　A horse-shaped white-haired beast horned like a reindeer with strong muscles.

　When I touch the hair like silk or something, it feels smooth, and when it is exposed to sunlight, it looks shiny.

　Even when viewed from a distance, its presence is odd.

　This will definitely sell for a lot of money.

　No matter how I look at it, I must think so.

　However, there was something I wanted to do before selling it.

"Okay, I'll give you a name from now on."

　In fact, I haven't given a name for it since its birth.

　To be honest, I thought that giving a name might be too emotional.

　If I were to sell it, I may have a big dent in my heart. Also, if it were to die, then that would also be a cause of grief.

　However, if it's grown up to this point, it is unlikely that the Familiar will die of illness or starvation immediately.

　I may cry when I sell it, but I won’t slaughter it like edible livestock.

　Even if I give it a name, I won't get too attached.

　There are other reasons why I want to give it a name.

　It's because of the magic circle I saw at the baptismal naming ceremony.

　Father Paul named me using a magic circle spun from the palm of his hand that protruded toward me.

　And then I got the magic of life along with my name.

　However, I was always interested in the magic of life.

　Father Paul said that it was obtained by the blessing of the Lord, but I feel that it is something different.

　At the moment when the naming was finished, I could understand the spell names of life magic and their usages and effects without any explanation.

　Somehow, I got the impression that it was like writing a manual or a program directly into my head.

　If so, what would happen if the Familiar was named using a magic circle?

　That was my interest.

　Among the magic of life, I think that [Drinking Water] is one that doesn’t have a spectacular display, but is amazing.

　I didn't think about it because I used to drink water anytime and anywhere in my previous life, but when I came to this world, I realized that it was amazing.

　Drinking raw water can easily cause diarrhea and other illnesses.

　Diarrhea is dangerous.

　It is not a joke that it can lead to death if you are not in a decent place such as a hospital.

　Normally, you have to remove the dirt from the water and boil it with fire to drink.

　However, if you have the life magic [Drinking Water], you can save yourself the trouble of having to do that.

　When I gathered the magical power in my eyes and looked at my Familiar, I knew that it always had magical power.

　If successful, it will be able to prepare its own drinking water.

　I'm afraid of the existence of [Ignition], but I really wanted to try it.

　After all, I can't just use this magic circle to name the people in the village.

　It should be fine.

　If something goes wrong, I’ll think about it then.

　There is a possibility of failure ...

　So I decided to name the grown-up Familiar.

This is basically like ads, but you can’t skip. Ever. I just wanted to try the function here on SH. So, these translations were all translated about an hour prior, but are posted an hour late. I will be checking up on them to see if they work correctly.
