87 04.善人、SSランクホムンクルスを赤子扱いする




 I finished the work to be done and got up and stretched.
 As you go to the window to watch the sunset from there, you see a girl in the garden.

 Under a large tree, she was floating, slowly circling around with her knees in her arms.
 She looked a little strange, as if she was underwater.

 I made eye contact with her, and before I could think, my body moved and beckoned her to join me.
 She swam (flew) through the air with mermaid-like grace, extending her limbs from a kneeling position.

 I stepped back to make room for her, and the girl slipped through the window into the office and stopped at the space.

What's going on?
I'll make you a body.
"Huh?
I can't give birth to you right away, but I can build you up.
"The body,"?

 The girl who tilted her head in that way, not knowing what that meant.
 I took out a bag.

 Another bag made of calamity claws.
 Not for food storage, but for storing materials and supplies for various things.

 Lately, I've been getting more and more caught up in events, so I made a bag for that.
 It came in handy right away.
 I put my hand in the bag and work my magic at the same time.

 You look at the girl and use your magic while branding her appearance on your retinas.
 Then he pulled a human shape out of the bag.

 Homunculus. He made it in the bag and pulled it out and put it in front of the girl.

Is this ...... me?
"Yeah. A homunculus in your likeness. We can use this body for a while if that's okay with you. I'll take care of a lot of responsibilities. Until you're born again.
"Let's, responsibility?

 The girl turned bright red.
 Yeah, that's not a good choice of words.
 It's not a literal mistake, but it's not very nuanced.

"Aftercare. It's made to be strong, but it can be faulty over time.
"......
I don't know.
I'll try.
Okay.

 He nodded and touched the body of the homunculus and the soul of the girl with both hands.
 He placed the girl's soul into the homunculus, just as he had done with the angel Markosias.

 After a moment, the eyelids of the homunculus that had taken the soul in opened and it looked at its palm with a curious expression.

I don't know.
"Body ......
Yeah, the body.
"I'm treading the ground ...... for the first time in hundreds of years.

 Now he looked at his feet standing on the floor.
 A smile gradually emerged from the girl's face, as excitement slowly began to rise.

"Wow, I did--

 The girl's smile disappeared in an instant.
 Physically.

 The girl jumped up and down, jumping up and down with a great momentum, and then, boom! and roared through the ceiling.

 There was another room above the office, but even that was all gone, and it flew up high into the sky.

 The airflow is better, and I can see the sky instead of the ceiling.

What does that mean?

 As I was wondering what was happening in front of me, a girl landed with a stutter.

What's the matter with you?
I don't know, just a little jump. ....... What's wrong with my leg--oh!

 This time the girl looking at her feet, maybe she wanted to do a "thump" and poke the ground with her foot, but with the first shot she stepped through the floor and fell downstairs - to the first floor.

 I call out to her from the top of the hole.

Are you okay?
"Uh-huh. I'm fine. But what's really going on?
"Hmmm.

 Thinking, I jumped down from the hole and stood in front of the girl.
 As I was thinking about it, the girl was chagrined.

 She jumped and stepped through and destroyed the house twice.
 Not only that, but the fall caused the dust of what was destroyed to roll up and get into her nose.
 As a result, the girl was itching to--

"--crush!

 Boom!

 It was a pretty sneeze, but it wasn't pretty at all.
 Her sneeze was powerful enough to cause an explosion.

 A sneeze blew up half the house.

"Ehhh! Whoa, what's this all about?
"Because I put an SS-ranked soul in a ...... homunculus.
"Huh?


"More than Marcosius. Plus, you haven't had a body for hundreds of years, so the brakes don't work at all.
"Hey, what's going on?

 The girl was coming at me.
 There was a look of impatience on her face, and it showed in her movements.
 She fell forward, tripping over the remains of the pallet lying on the floor.

 Piturn!

 The girl fell - and this time there was an earthquake.
 Not only did ...... and the mansion shake, but the whole area shook.

 The SS ranks and the super power of the homunculus, but we have no control over that power.

 I'm a bit different than I was with Markosias.
 A girl who hadn't had a body for hundreds of years couldn't even control her powers on a daily basis before producing them in battle.

......!

 Haha girl, it seems that I understand the situation and the reason for it myself.

 Boom! Doh! Doh! Doh!

 Due to the overall increase in physical ability and lack of control.
 I could clearly hear the girl's frightened heartbeat.

You shouldn't be here. You can't be here.

 The girl turned and tried to run away.
 She must have been a good girl--yeah, she was SS-rated.

Wait.
"Don't keep me back!

 The girl tried to shake off my outstretched hand.

 The roar was deafening, and a merciless blow came tearing through the entire space.

"Ah--

 A girl who is huffing and puffing, still out of control, and yet I just couldn't help it.
 And then a look of regret - but.

...... Huh?

 I caught her hand.
 With a thud, the force of the hand coursed through her body and cracked her feet.
 I took the girl's hand--gently--and took it.

 First, I had to reassure her.

Why?
"Don't worry, I won't get hurt by your attacks.
"Huh?
Because there is no father in the world who is weaker than his daughter.
"------!

 Kyun!

 It's okay to be a huffy girl ...... .
 A sound came from her chest, distinctly, but like the first time I heard it.
