Chapter 130

Within that tense atmosphere, its figure appeared .

[——-Panppyyiiii———]

“Kyurruuuu”, it cried out .

“That thing” that came out of the egg—-

[…………A- A horse?]

It looks like a horse .

Aren’t small horses generally called ponies?

No…

This one is even smaller than the ponies I’ve seen on the internet .

It has a white coat .

Its eyes weren’t golden .

It would be the first thing we need to check and an important factor for us to diminish our vigilance towards it .

Its eyes were dark brown .

Those eyes look like the eyes those mascots have .

Or rather, it kind of looks like the eyes of a stuffed toy…

But except for its eyes, the rest of its body resembles a “horse” .

Even so, I inadvertently placed my hand over my mouth .

Did it really fit inside that egg with the size of its body?

It’s kind of hard to imagine that it was able to fit inside it with its size .

I think that would also be the case even if it were to bend its body .

I mean…

[Eve . ]

[Umu . ]

[I don’t know how to explain this, but I feel like the size of this one looked larger after its egg hatched . ]

[Fumu, so you also thought the same thing huh . Yeah… I also felt like it got a bit larger after it was hatched . ]

Eve also held the same thoughts huh .

If that’s so, I’m not just seeing things .

With its trembling legs, this horse-like “being” started trying to maintain its balance .

After a moment, it looks like its balance is gradually becoming steadier .

[In the first place, horses weren’t creatures that hatches from eggs, right?]

[That’s indeed as far as I know . ]

Eve is in the same opinion as me .

The way the horses were given birth were the same in this world .

However, this foal was born from an egg .

I enquired Seras .

[Does this mean this is some kind of monster?]

[In terms of categorizing it, that should be the case . ]

[Do you have some knowledge about the details of this monster?]

[I indeed know some monsters that were within the lineage of horses but…]

[Based on your reaction, a monster within your knowledge that matches this foal—]

[Yes, it’s not anywhere within my knowledge . No, it’s possible that it may evolve when it grows up into a horse-like monster that I know of but…]

A dark reddish ominous egg .

Based on its color, I can’t imagine anything adorable coming out of it .

How should I say this?

It kind of mismatched with my initial impression of it .

The foal stared at me .

Pure round eyes .

I checked on Pigimaru who is inside my robe .

[Punyuu~]

He doesn’t show any hostility towards it .

It looks like he’s leaving the judgement to me .

Certainly, the foal is not showing any hostility .

Obviously, it also wasn’t emitting any killing intent .

I could say that with certainty .

No, rather than that—

[Panpyyiii? Kyyyuuuunnn…]

The foal stepped towards me .

Looking like it’s trying to convey its intention, Seras raises her guard .

[Touka-dono…]

[It’s alright, this guy isn’t hostile at all… and also, I’d like to observe it a bit more . Only take action when you’re sure that it’s dangerous . ]

After stepping closer towards me, the foal stopped .

Extending out its neck, the foal sniffed at me .

Sniff sniff, sniff

[……………… . . ]

Is it checking my scent?

The foal looked up towards me .

[Pakkyyuuurrruuunnnn~♪]

Its eyes sparkled brightly .

And for some reason, the eyes of Liz who was watching from the side also sparkled .

[Horsey-chan…]

Did she finally understand the feeling of moeness?

After that, the foal got close to my feet .

It then rubbed itself on my leg .

[Kyyuuuiiinnn… Kyuuuuiiii~♪]

Did a horse’s neigh sound like this?

I’m not really familiar with how the neigh of a foal sounds…

Eve began pondering .

[If we had that horse with us along inside the Demon Zone, we may get distracted because it may get agitated from nervousness . Therefore, I would suggest leaving behind the horse but—]

Eve looked at me like she’s waiting for my reply .

[What are we going to do with it, Touka?]

[… . . I’m kind of bothered . ]

[Mhmm? What do you mean?]

[At that time that we discovered the egg, it was completely wrapped by a mysterious cloth . It would be difficult for us to say that egg is ordinary based on the color and hardness of the egg . That also includes the way it was born . ]

There must be something special about it .

It’s not just a horse .

I gently stroked the foal’s cheek .

[Pakkyyyuuu~♪]

Afterward, Eve also extended her hand towards the foal .

[Well then, I will also be examining how it feels—]

[Pakyyuunnn… Brrrrrrr… . ]

The foal pulled away from her .

Its buttocks were raised while its head was lowered to the ground .

It looks like it’s on guard towards Eve .

However, it hasn’t shown any hostility towards her .

If anything, it would be more appropriate to say that it was scared .

Or perhaps, it’s a shy horse .

However, even I haven’t spent a long time with this foal after it was born .

Is it that thing called imprinting?

That stuff where an animal or person recognizes the first one it sees as its parent…

I have only heard that this only occurs with chicks though .

[Mu… . Mhmm? It seems that it’s more alert towards others compared towards you . Did it find my leopard face intimidating?]

[I don’t really know why, however it should be able to get used to it over time . ]

I walk behind the foal .

While still petting the foal, I move my hands to its back and sides .

My hand slides along its coat .

A comfortable feeling filled on the palm of my hand .

It feels fluffy and smooth .

[Hmm?]

There’s something behind the foal’s neck…

It’s a transparent semi-circular orb .

It seems like the other half is buried in its neck .

……………… .

I feel like I have an idea what it really is but…

I should first confirm it with the well-informed elf .

[Seras, do you have some knowledge about this transparent half-orb?]

Seras sneaked closer and looked like she’s trying to probe something .

I suppose she’s trying to make sure that she wouldn’t surprise the foal .

[Pakkyyuuunn?]

Hmm?

It isn’t as cautious towards Seras compared with Eve?

Seras has always been near the egg ever since we’ve discovered it .

Is it related to the length of time that you’re around when it was still in the egg?

[…… . . Excuse me . ]

With her hands behind her waist, Seras tilted her upper body forward .

Looking a bit closer, she began observing the hemisphere .

[This could possibly be an organ that absorbs magic energy…]

[An organ that absorbs magic energy?]

[There were some monsters that had an organ that functions like that . You could often see this feature in magical beasts and familiars but… monsters with these organs could easily take in large amounts of magic energy into their body instantly . ]

So, it’s like a server that won’t crash down even when a large amount of data was sent into it instantly?

[As expected of you . I could really depend on your vast amount of knowledge . ]

Putting her hands over her chest, Seras long eyelashes lowered .

[I’m very honored that you’re counting on me . ]

[I will keep on counting on you . ]

[Yes . ]

Now then… An organ that absorbs magic energy huh .

Immediately after hatching, the size of the foal increased .

Did the foal absorb the magic energy around the area and became bigger?

Before its egg hatched, it was at a size that would fit in that egg .

And after it hatched, it absorbed the surrounding magic energy and grew larger .

[………………]

Based on the above information, there’s one thing I want to try out .

[Aside from Pigimaru, could all of you step away from me and this guy? And Eve, please watch out for the surroundings . ]

Upon hearing my instructions, Eve asked a question .

[What are you going to do, Touka?]

[I’m going to pour magic energy into this guy . ]

Eve looks confused .

[Your magic energy?]

I told them about my hypothesis .

[Fumu… A monster that changed after absorbing magic element huh . Certainly, that could explain why its body suddenly grew right after it was born . ]

I placed my hands on the half-orb .

Turning around, the foal looked up towards me .

[Pakyunn?]

[Do you dislike it?]

[Pakkyyyuuunnn♪]

It doesn’t look like a reaction of denial or hate .

On the contrary, it looks like an affirmation .

I wonder if it’s because I have always liked animals…

Or because of my experience back in the Disposal Ruins…

Perhaps, both of them were the reason…

I feel like I somehow understood the intentions of this monster .

[Status Open . ]

I displayed my remaining MP .

This status display is useful to grasp the amount of MP I’ve injected .

[Now then . ]

Within a certain amount of MP, I wonder what would happen .

Injecting magic energy— start .

The orb began steadily absorbing my magic energy .

The color of the orb then started changing to black .

The gem in my leather bag .

The gem on the door in the Disposal Ruins .

It seems to be almost the same principle as those two .

The color began filling up the orb just like a gauge .

And then, the orb completely turned black .

[Pakkyyyyuuuuuuu!]

Is it better to call it a dark light?

Darkness gushed out and wrapped around the foal .

The silhouette of its body began changing .

I could hear Eve mutter .

[That is—]

[Bururururururu…… . ]

A black horse .

Its appearance had turned into a typical “horse” that I had imagined .

The mascot-like loveliness it had before has diminished .

I think its physique is about the same as the horse we used to arrive in front of the Demon Zone .

For some reason, its neigh sounds imposing .

Well, it still had its cute round eyes though .

[Pinyyuuu~]

Pigimaru looked astonished and interested at the changes of its body .

[Horsey-chan, amazing…]

Liz also had the same reaction .

Seras has her hand on her small chin and is looking at the foal with interest .

[I see, so that’s what it turned to…]

A horse huh…

With the way it looks now, I may be able to leave my luggage to it .

However, as expected, I still had some concerns .

Would it be frightened after we encountered a monster in the Demon Zone?

We need to make this clear first .

I took a glance at my status display .

[It needs 1000 MP to transform huh . ]

I held out my hand towards the cheek of the black horse .

[Pakkyyyuuuu~♪]

The black horse rubbed its cheek on my hand .

Good .

It seems that it still properly recognizes “me” .

It still had its consciousness even when it transformed .

It hasn’t lost its sanity .

It also doesn’t seem to be bewildered with its transformation .

[Bururururururu~]

[Hmm?]

Is it trying to appeal towards me?

…Its back?

Ah— Is it appealing for its orb?

However, it’s already fully dyed black .

[… . Wait . Perhaps, you mean—]

[Paakkyyyuuunnn~]

The black horse pose looks like it’s bending down .

Perhaps, this is—

It lowered its height to make it easier .

[In short—-]

I ask the black horse for confirmation .

[You want me to pour some more magic energy to you?]

[Pakyurrriii . ]

The black horse deeply nodded— or so how it looks to me .

Did it understand my words just now?

[… . Alright . ]

For the time being…

If this guy still has some kind of hidden power, I want to check it while we still could afford to do it .

Depending on the result, the strength of our group may increase .

Well, I can’t disregard the possibility that it just liked the feeling of being injected with magic energy and that’s why it appealed to me…

I placed my hand over the orb again .

[I’m starting . ]

I began injecting my magic energy .

I feel like the color of the orb began changing again .

A faint red spider web began to appear on the surface of the orb .

The pattern of the red light kind of resembles the artery .

[… . It still needs some more huh . ]

I checked my status .

My MP is steadily decreasing .

The MP consumption of the transformation earlier was 1000 .

However, I’ve already poured around 5000 MP this time .

I still haven’t seen any changes on the black horse .

As expected, I would like to avoid the situation where I would need to use half of my MP…

[——————-]

Just when I’ve poured 10000 MP, a change finally appeared .

Just like a deep crimson lightning…

The black horse suddenly raises its body and a red lightning struck and the surroundings burst out .

In the next moment—

The body of the black horse was wrapped around by a red and black light .

The two different colors of lights began converging…

[Barururururururu… . Bururururururururu…]

The light began dispersing and its appearance finally appeared .

Its loveliness has completely disappeared .

A red-eyed black horse with a large body appeared in front of me .

Its body had become larger than its previous size .

It had two demonic horns on its head now that wouldn’t normally exist on a horse .

Its blood vessels were vigorously popping out of its tough body .

I couldn’t see the appearance of a foal that had just been born .

Its jet-black mane swayed with the wind .

The thing that caught my eyes the most is certainly its legs that were treading on the ground .

It has 8 strong legs .

It’s an eight-legged black horse .

The black horse has sharp, piercing eyes .

However, I could certainly see reason within them .

It hasn’t turned mad .

Rather, it could be said that there’s a light dwelling in its eyes as it stared at me as his “lord” .

There was loyalty shrouded on those eyes .

Magical Beast .

A divine majesty .

An ominous majesty .

[Ah, I see . ]

I understood now why I strangely find it quite fitting for us .

Its color kind of resembles a fly .

[So that’s why…]

My mouth—-

[So, this is your true form huh . This guy is—]

—couldn’t help but distort from the joy I’m feeling .

[I never expected that an amusing comrade would join us somewhere I never expected . ]
