Firo

The next morning. Raphtalia overslept due to staying up late last night. I groaned with the magic book in one hand.

While I prepare to leave and regain some time from oversleeping.

"Ah, it's hatching."(Naofumi)

I left the egg by a window in the room. Raphtalia noticed that the egg which I bought yesterday started to crack.

A fluffy wing with feathers could be seen peeking out from the gaps.

I watched the egg as more cracks appear.

It wasn't painful at all, and the demon seems to be very energetic despite just being born.

I observed the newborn chick's body.

When I extend my hand to the demon chick, it runs up my hand onto my shoulder and jumps on top of my head to settle down.

"Piiii"(Fledgling)

*SuriSuri* slipping from my head to my cheeks

"Oh, it's probably due to imprinting."(Naofumi)

It might be registered beforehand because the one who moved it first was me, so it must have assumed I am it's parent.

It might informed me what demon this is if I absorb a fragment of the egg.

Requirement for Demon Egg Shield have been revealed.

Demon Trainer Shield

Unsealing completed... Equipment Bonus: Cooking Skill +2

...A shield I wasn't expecting came out. I'll change it into Demon Trainer Shield from Slave Trainer 2 Shield because it seems more convenient.

"Did you discover something?"(Raphtalia)

I thought about where to Level Up today while walking through the village that's in the middle of reconstruction.

I saw a villager that I recognized.

"Ah, Hero of the Shield-sama."(Villager)

"Good morning."(Raphtalia?)

This was where I was defending last week during the wave, it seems there's a lot of familiar faces here reconstructing the villager.

"Good morning."(Villager?)

He bowed his head very deeply. I'm feeling a little embarrassed

"Pi!"(Fledgling)

The chick on my head chirps rather cheerfully.

"Oya?"(Villager)

The villager looked at the chick on my head.

"What's wrong?"(Naofumi)

I pointed at the chick on my head.

"I bought an egg from a demon dealer."(Naofumi)

"However, I don't know which demon I bought. Do you guys know what kind of demon this is?"(Naofumi)

The villagers stared intently at the chick.

"Let's see...... Do you think that is a Philorial?"(Villager)

"Then I'm going to go see."(Naofumi)

We arrived at the house of the fellow who is managing the ranch.

"......What kind of creature is that."(Naofumi)

Though, I don't know how much time and money she will need before maturity.

"Pi!"(Fledgling)

The young Philorial chirps on my head.

"What does this fellow eat?"(Naofumi)

"I see, Thanks."(Naofumi)

I'm surprised I can bow and say thanks this easily.

"Mu......"(Naofumi)

This is surely troublesome.

"Then..... let's call you Firo."(Naofumi)

"Shut up."(Naofumi)

After we had breakfast we head out to hunt with Firo.

"Where should we go today?"(Raphtalia?)

"Let's see...... A place we can walk to safely."(Naofumi)

Firo is happily chirping on my head.

There were a lot of unexpected encounters with demons, but they were defeated easily.

Today's results are.

Me Lvl 23

Firo Lvl 12

Though I hardly fought, I got enough experience for a level, while Firo's Level soared.

But......I wondered.....

Before, Firo was a small chick that could be held with both hands, but now she's big and grown up.

And her feathers grew lighter, the color changed from pink to light pink.

Unsealing completed……Equipment Bonus: Demon Status Correction (Small)

Still, I noticed Firo's growth when I didn't even notice Raphtalia's.

"Piyo"(Firo)

She changed her chirp and is beginning to walk on her own with a pitter-patter, because she's heavy.

There's an unpleasant premonition from Firo who is constantly chirping.

Her appetite is unending......This was the proof of her rapid growth.

"Umm...Naofumi-sama..."(Raphtalia)

Though her body is strong, it's a little scary that her mind will be immature.

I returned to the hotel and showed the storekeeper Firo and asked where I can put her.

"Eh....."(Naofumi)

It isn't for food, does that make it easier to process and handle?

"After that, I'll make dried meat and look for buyers.I am still looking forward to selling them. It seems a few mages are coming."(Villager)

It is inedible, but there are many who still want to research it.

Are you still hungry?

Where does it all go?

Is that the sound of meat and bones creaking? You're still growing up?

"To grow up so much in one day...... That's pretty unreasonable"

The shopkeeper watches my face anxiously.

"She is still Lvl 12."(Naofumi)

It changes every time I check her status. What growth.

After I petted Firo to confirm if she's asleep, I head back to Raphtalia and my room. I study this world's letters afterwards.
The problem is that there are too many letters in this language.
