Monster no Goshujin-sama

11. Fox and Wolf Night, Part II

11 - Abandoned Perspective

Fluid splashes too much.

Jumping out of Berta's back was an arm very similar to that of a human.

I wonder if it doesn't hurt, while I'm at it, another bottle.

The two arms that popped out grabbed the wolf's gray bristles.

It was like trying to pull myself out of the water, and then it was pulled out properly - the girl's upper body.

"... it's still easier this way"

Crunching in a low voice, the girl's upper body turned this way.

I'd already seen this before, but if I didn't know it, I'd be surprised.

Until earlier, Berta, who was a 'wolf who grew tentacles from his waist', now only looked like a 'girl whose lower body became a wolf and tentacle monster'.

As for the atmosphere, is it close to Gabella?

Thinking about it, maybe just a little intimacy.

The mucus drips with wet black hair, and from underneath, the slightly poorly eyed girl's face looks at this one without expression.

Yellow-brown eyes, clear and very pretty.

Maybe as old as your husbands.

The faces are more like those of your husbands than those of Silans.

There, it seemed different from Gabella.

"Is that what Berta looks like?"

"Oh. My king calls it 'Scylla'"

What came back was a quiet voice.

Yet the area around my beard freaked me out.

Something in me scares me. I'm scared.

Maybe it won't reach Gabella or Lily, but it's still pretty strong, I'm sure.

If it had been before we talked like this today, I think we'd have been hanging out.

But I already know Berta's not a bad guy, so there's no need to be frightened.

"... you're bolder than I thought"

Berta said as I stared up at the girl's face on high ground, in a manner that seemed a bit impressive.

What are you talking about?

"If you don't know, fine."

Berta shakes her head gently.

To match, the wet tentacles rippled perfectly into the mucus.

"More than that, your hands are stopping."

Oh, yeah.

Were you eating?

"It's getting a little foggy. With our nose there is no obstacle to returning, but nevertheless, it is not preferable for sight to be blocked. Eat fast."

As Berta put it, the scenery around was starting to blur a little white.

Originally, there are many clouds in the night sky today.

Berta was right about the trouble of losing sight of her surroundings.

I decided to concentrate on the meal in front of me.

Berta also starts eating with a wolf's head.

Occasionally it was a human body, skinned in the way.

Fine, that. Awesome convenience.

If it's a wolf or a fox's hand, it's hard to get ahold of.

Hey, Berta.

To some extent, where my stomach swelled, I opened my mouth.

Looks like I can still eat a big berta in my body, so I thought I'd talk to you in the meantime.

"Berta's been eating a lot and getting stronger, right?"

"That's right. Of course, that's not all."

"Did you get that look stronger too?"

"Oh."

Bye, bye. Can I be like Berta now?:

The wolf's head remained focused on the meal, and the girl's upper body turned this way.

"Do you want to be like me?

"Yeah. I was wondering if you wanted to please your husband."

"... pleasing?

Berta narrowed her eyes in surprise.

"Why does your Lord rejoice when you are like me?

"Yeah... your husband said he'd be happy when we were pretty girls."

When I was sleeping on the knee of a truffle, I heard the truffle and Rose talking.

I hadn't heard the details because I was half-assed, but I remembered we were talking about something like that.

"... well. There are cases like that."

Berta, who heard my answer, snapped small.

As much as I could hear it, it was like talking to myself.

I leaned my neck.

Berta looked somewhat envious as she rocked her lowered tail.

But soon those signs disappeared and Berta asked here.

"But your Lord will be human. Is it okay to look like me?

That's okay.

There with confidence I was able to answer.

I wish I could be like Lily, but it should be okay to feel like Berta.

Likewise, I know that my lower body is a monster, Gabella, and that your husband has been feeling good lately.

Master, I think you'd be surprised. Can't you?:

"Hmm. Right..."

Berta showed a little thought.

I roar in a serious way.

I've been thinking for a moment now that Berta looks like Gabella, but her personality may look like Rose.

Very serious.

I can see you're seriously considering it right now.

The wolf's head, though, keeps eating.

"You can't take exactly the same way as me."

After the sound of the meal continued for a while, Berta opened her mouth.

"This is because of my own qualities."

"... Soka."

Too bad.

Doesn't that work?

"But..."

And Berta continued.

"I have fought various monsters and eaten their corpses. Some of them altered themselves with the ability to change, or deluded their bodies by the magic of illusions."

"Are you like Doppel Genger?"

"Oh. That's a typical example of the former. In the case of Doppel Genger, it is characterised by a changeable versatility for everyone who sees it, but some simply change to another determined figure. Metal some of your body, grow feathers, change your skeleton. Some of them looked like people."

"It's decided... so is Berta?"

"Right. The change itself can be described as a major trait there. Besides, the magic of illusion was something else I used in a fox-shaped monster. If you train, it's possible that you can use them in your own way."

"Really!?:

"Oh. Why don't you give it a try?

"Miru!"

I jumped a little and spread my blocked tail wide.

I'm getting kind of excited.

Would you be surprised if I dressed as a human being, Master?

Oh, good luck!

"... you're not talented"

[Gasps]

Then a little while later, when I heard the words Berta had spoken after eating rice, I stood my ears and tail on the shock.

"Well, does that mean it can't be used by me from the start? in the capable sense of a monster?:

"No. The magic is moving subtly. Doesn't seem like it can't be used as a nature of birth."

Berta, who replied so, was using her time eating to help me.

After conveying the ability I had seen among the many monsters I had fought so far, he saw me try it out and told me every single one of them that seemed muscular.

I'm glad I went so far as to find out that some changes were going to be available eventually, except it seemed more and more impossible, but that's where I came out with the "lack of talent" statement just now.

"It's not like you can't use change. It's just that the amount of magic that's moving is too weak."

I mean, there's no talent, he said.

I was convinced.

"... Soka."

My tail got wet.

You're not talented. I'm certainly the weakest of your husband's family.]

"Don't be so depressed."

Berta was a little gentle with her voice because I was too snug.

"Besides, it doesn't matter if you're weak or not at this point. Sure, it's a shame you couldn't fulfill your purpose... don't get me wrong, huh? All I said was a story about change and delusion. Otherwise, it is not the case."

Really? But I, in fact, am weak?

"Right now, I just don't have enough magic because I'm not old enough. Sooner or later, you'll have more power than that big spider."

"Huh!?:

The tail that was shiny stood a little.

That's how surprised I was.

"It's not even that surprising. For example, our king's power is' his ability to make his own pawns'. For this reason, 'strong enough not to rule' cannot be made a family member. Most importantly, there are exceptions to this, and they say," If you don't want to be strong, you can rule. "The power of your Lord is the other way around. Your qualities are a big deal because you were hooked on terms at that young age."

"Uh?"

It's hard to talk about Berta.

But well, for now, I know you're complimented.

Conversely, I don't really understand the story itself.

"As a young man, you may wander through quite a few training grounds. Having connected with that Lord at a young age would also have a good effect. What if there's more qualities than you... well, it's probably that crawling thing that's parasitic to your Lord"

"You mean Asalina?"

"Oh. That particularity would be due to sprouted soil. In that regard, it's a miracle."

Oh, I don't know, Asalina. Awesome.

... It's okay to be amazing, but it's time to limit your understanding -

How dare you notice the voice of my heart, Berta continued to explain.

"But its origins are also at their limit. Sometimes that talent blooms more than the soil is poor. Plant-type monsters are generally apt for the magic of illusions, so it might still be more possible to stretch them out there...... what's up?

"... cucumber."

"Oh, I'm sorry. Was it a little difficult?"

Berta laughed bitterly when she realized that I was turning my eyes.

"Whatever you are, you will soon be able to use the changes. Even if it's a bad area, there's just enough ground to do it."

At the end of the day, I said it in a tone that I could tell you.

Honestly, I didn't know about half the story...... whatever the reason is, it means you can do it if you try, right?

Then it's easy to talk about.

Ok! I'll do my best!

"Oh, it'll take a long time, but hopefully I won't hesitate to encourage you"

And when I proclaimed to him, the snout and the nose, Berta was with me.

"Master, I wonder if you'd be pleased."

I was thrilled and heartened, thinking of what was before me.

Just imagine, a puffy tail shakes.

I was looking forward to it now.

I can't wait.

Berta said earlier that it would take a long time, but I wonder, how long?

Tomorrow?

The day after tomorrow?

Yeah... I don't know about the rest anymore, but is it going to take more?

Hey, Berta. I just want to ask... is that it? Berta?:

Speaking with a groan, I raised that and a voice of doubt.

Because Berta was somewhere, out of her mind.

I don't even respond to this voice.

As I tilted my neck and looked, I finally realized and blinked.

"... oh, I'm sorry. He seemed so upset."

What's wrong?

"No. It's no big deal"

A little worried and asked, Berta shook her neck to the side.

"It's just strange about your Lord that he's happy to be turned into a person."

Am I coming? And I snapped my nose.

"Wonder, why?"

"... my king doesn't really like this look of me."

Berta's girl's upper body put her hand on her chest.

"I thought that was normal. So I was surprised to hear that your Lord did not."

"Phew, that's right."

I leaned my neck.

"... it's weird."

Berta looks, I'm sure, a little scared, but I don't think it's like she hates me.

Each...... is it?

I don't know.

"... is that it? So, hey, what was Berta hiding about...?:

"Oh. It's the king's order."

Berta nodded.

"I don't really like the way I look."

Huh? Really?

I turned my eyes round.

It was surprising.

Berta said this is what she got when she got stronger.

Then, naturally, I thought you'd be proud of yourself.

But that seems to have been an assumption.

Berta looked down faceless at her hands with five fingers spread out.

"... Looking at this look reminds me of a long time ago"

Behind Berta's yellowbrown eyes, there was something swinging.

"When I didn't even have a name yet, it's a memory of failure. Every time I remember, I regret it. How could I not have been Anton? I wonder why it's Berta.... I know I can't help regretting it."

It was more than half, like talking to myself, a word I didn't quite understand.

Anton is Anton and Berta is Berta.

Berta can't be Anton, and vice versa.

It's weird to regret it.

So, maybe that's not what you mean?

I think so, but I still don't know.

In the first place, I don't even know how, when I see myself as I am, I remember the old days.

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.

I didn't know anything.

So naturally, I couldn't even tell you anything.

Just listening to Berta... I kind of got a chest ache.

Berta really regrets that 'something' from the bottom of her heart.

That's all it conveyed to me.

I can't tell you anything because I don't know, and I just know you're feeling hard.

So I walked away and licked the nose of Berta's wolf.

Then Berta jumped.

The two heads of the wolf and the face of the girl above looked down at me in a slight manner.

You were so surprised, those eyes were wide open.

... Oh, that?

Hey, did I piss you off?

I meant to comfort you......

Way to go, wrong?

Awwww...

What an internal panic accidentally changed the look on Berta's girl's face.

My mouth is just a little loose.

My tail shakes.

The tentacles also rocked.

So, the air moved out.

"... thanks"

said Berta, scratching up her black hair as if to delude her.

"And I'm sorry to hear about your clueless stupidity. Apart from the king and his family, this is the first time I've ever been exposed to this, so things seem a little crazy."

Berta like that, it seemed like she was already as usual.

Oh, good.

I exhaled.

Berta, unfathomable and not looking, was actually a caretaker and did me a lot of good too.

It hurts Berta like that, doesn't it?

"It's time to go back. The fog is getting thicker."

"Yeah."

Relieved I nodded honestly at Berta's words.

Follow Berta, who walked out.

... Ah.

Speaking of which, there's one more thing you forgot to say.

Hey, Berta.
