Chapter 156: The Last Stand (II)

That's weird. I am quite sure that the treasure of Serbal is an item, not a child. And besides, this kid seems to be from the mixed breed of the angel and fallen race.

The Angel race is self-explanatory as they are the beings with halos on their heads and have white wings and are usually capable of unleashing divine abilities and Light Attribute. They are basically what you call the holy beings in the game and are said to be always associated with the gods and goddesses though it is still not clear.

The fallen race, on the other hand, is the same as the Angel race, but they do not have the ability to wield the holy abilities and can only use dark elements and dark magic. They are also called the Outcasts as they are not welcome to the community of the angel race and will be ostracized by them.

So I was wondering how come there is one who is of mixed race. It is an obvious taboo to the two races and I am quite sure that they would try to get rid of this little kid before he grows.

"But how come Serbal is the one carrying this kid? Is he trying to eat this kid? Or is he trying to do something else?"

Although I am disappointed by the outcome and the treasure is not what I have expected, I decided to ask Queen Tanya for some info about this and flew back to the palace.

...

"This kid... so he pops out from the treasure you stole from Serbal?" Queen Tanya observed the kid in my arms who is still sleeping.

"Yes, that is correct, Your Majesty. I don't know what to do about this kid since I expected the treasure to be an item and not a kid."

"Indeed. I would also be at a loss if I got this kid instead of a reward. However, I am not that knowledgeable about the angel race and the fallen race. I have not seen any of their kind here in Sandurk and I doubt this kid is a native here in Sandurk. Based on his clothes and his race, I can assume he came from the Luminous Continent. That is the only place I can think of his origins. As for how he arrived here in the Sandurk region is a mystery for me so I don't think I can answer your question about him."

"I see. But I am an adventurer and I don't think I will be able to keep him with me. There is not a single place I can put him if I am going to keep him for now."

"Unfortunately for you, I also can't accept this kid in my palace. I am not experienced in taking care of a kid and I don't think I can even properly give him some education once he grows up. So instead of letting him stagnant in my care, it might be better if he is in your care instead."

Looks like Queen Tanya is not a good help. But I have no other NPC I can ask help with on raising this kid and although Lina is a good choice to help, I am not yet capable of going back to Resurgia Continent as long as the quest of the Pioneers is still ongoing so I am on a bind here.

Then, Atlas suddenly peeks out of the dimension which made me surprised since he can now go out of the dimension without being called out by me. I don't see it as a bad thing, it just proves that Atlas is getting stronger every day.

"I overheard your conversation, Master. Since he is a being of mixed races, I believe you can enlist this little kid as a familiar like me. He still has yet to reach adulthood so enlisting him as a familiar will work and you can put him to the familiar dimension alongside me."

"Is it safe for him? I mean, he is not similar to you, Atlas. Also, do you know how to babysit a kid?"

"Don't underestimate me, Master. I have kids when I am still alive in the past and I still retain those memories taking care of them. You don't have to worry anything about taking care of a single kid with me," Atlas proudly said.

Queen Tanya claps as she looked at Atlas. "Wow, I am impressed! Your summon is quite capable!"

"Of course, I am an elite. I may be rugged and scary to look at but I am dependable when taking care of kids. Since this little kid is still unconscious, it wouldn't be a big problem for me to watch over him."

"Alright. You convince me."

Putting the kid on a table, I performed the contract and finished finalizing him. When I finished the contract on him, the name that appears on the menu as my familiar, he appears to have no name. Since he is still not awake, I didn't bother to give him a name like I was giving a name to a pet without his permission. Getting the permission of someone is essential if you want to bestow them a name or if they have a name already. That is a common courtesy.

Since Queen Tanya is busy issuing commands to the people, I bid farewell once again and left the palace after.

Now that I am a little bit tired, I decided to log out for a bit to grab some chow. I need to get myself ready so that the raid will go smoothly and will not end in a big disaster.

When my senses returned, it was already dark outside and it is currently 9 in the evening already. I didn't realize I am playing for quite a while already. Rubbing my stomach which is empty, I shook my head and went to go to the kitchen.

The two siblings are currently playing so I didn't disturb them and grabbed some chow in the kitchen. While cooking, I received a text message on my holophone. Checking the number, I found out it was from Suhei.

"Good evening Manato-kun. We will be moving tomorrow at 8:00 A.M. I am just reminding you about this since you might be surprised if we didn't mention our arrival tomorrow. See you again tomorrow!"

Looks like things will no longer be the same tomorrow especially we have new residents now. I just hope that they are not going to affect my plans in the future.
