Why am I giving human s*x education to a different species?



"So, if you don't ovulate, you can't be fertilized in the womb, otherwise you can't have children. Even if fertilization takes place and implantation takes place, I won't be able to breastfeed for a long time, and I won't be alive until then. Do you understand?"



　A beautiful red-haired girl, Frey, sitting naked and trembling.



"I'm sorry, too. My thoughtless comment made you expect me to be ......."



　Frey's eyes well up with tears.

　I thought he might commit seppuku. So I took the initiative.



"Don't be so downhearted. If it doesn't work, there's always a way. For now..."



　I quickly wrapped the white cloth around my body and plopped into the bunk (the baby basket that had been put in first).



　

"We have to deal with the intruder first."





　The alarm of the detection warding sounded strongly. It was not a small animal or a bird, but a "human" with magical powers.



"I sense it, too. It's coming at us at great speed... ...... and it seems to have stopped."



　Yeah. He stopped at the mangled corpses (the soldiers who abandoned me) and came running right back at me.



　We don't have much time.

　Frey was taking his time to put on his rider suit and there was no time to hide.



"It's a secret that I can stand, fly, and talk. Let's get this story out of the way first."



　Immediately after I told him, a large man in armor appeared, rushing through the bushes.



　A strong-looking man. His name was Gordo Semphis, I think. The Count of the Frontier. He was the one who begged for my life until the very end.

　But that doesn't mean I can't be careful.



Shouldn't we just kill him?



No, let's just talk. The man..."



　We set up a cordon like a string phone and explain about Mr. Gordo so that only Frey can hear us.



"He tried to help me, but the royal family wants to kill me. Be on your guard."



"Shouldn't we still kill him?"



　This is what I think of the demon tribe.



"...... just ask them what they want."



　I am very uneasy about entrusting my daughter with a natural inclination, but I have no choice.



　If this uncle has come to my rescue on his own and in secret, I can ask him to protect me until I can eat baby food.

　If he has come to confirm my death by order of the king, he can help me to deceive him and fake my death.



　In any case, we must be very careful.



"Yes, sir."



　Frey whispered back, and then his voice sounded dignified.



"What brings you here?　<."



　Jinei ...... what?

　The uncle lowered his luggage to the ground and held up some kind of a big hammer.



"Demons. ....... You seem to know me. What do you want with the baby?



"It's just a coincidence that I happened to be passing by here. But it was the best of luck for me. I have a master worthy of my life!"



　That's all I'm saying,



"Don't be like that!"



　I perform the tricky trick of whispering.



　Huh?　Was that bad?　Don't look at me like that.



"Lord?　A demon tribe would call the son of man lord?"



That's the thing. I don't care what race you are. Even if it's the child of my sworn enemy, the Princess Flash.



"Huh?　How did you know that he was a prince?



"Huh?　Uh, let's see, ............ yeah!　It's a royal crest. It was clearly visible on Master Hurt's left breast.



　I got it right!　Don't look at me with those sparkly eyes like that.

　I'm sorry to interrupt your tail wagging and smugness, but you just said the wrong thing.



"Hurt, is that the name you gave me?"



　Frey makes a face like, "Oh shit.

　As your boss, you should give him the proper instructions. I've never even worked here before.



　I'll tell him.

　Frey nods his head.



"There was a note in the basket.


　With a "boo", he puts out a fire from one hand.






　I don't know if I'm the one who ordered this, but it sounds really fake.



"It's all very fishy. It's inexplicable that a soldier who couldn't bear the guilt of his crime took the liberty of using his real name, which he should not have known. But wait a minute.　What if that person is (・・・・)......?"



　Oh?　Uncle Beard is starting to waver. This is our chance to take back the initiative!



Don't just ask me your questions, answer my earlier question. What is the sound of the hammer of the earth doing here in the depths of the forest?



"...... that baby, I've come for it."



No!



　You'll just have to keep your mouth shut for a minute, he tells her softly.



"I don't know why you, demon, want the child. But I have no intention of killing him myself. I only want to save a life that is dying at the mercy of human karma.



　Frey kept silent as ordered, but this is the part where he asks why, so I tell him.



"Even if it is against the king's order?　Why?



"...... ago, my wife was pregnant. But the child was never born. I want you to enjoy your life if you are born, even if you are not born with the right qualities. I'm selfish.



　I don't trust people. I don't trust people.

　But what is it?　I feel like I can trust this uncle.



　But in my past life, every time I hoped for something like that, every time I put my trust in him, I was betrayed.

　Will it be repeated in this world?



　Rapidly, my emotions are freezing (・・・・・).



　In my previous life, I was just frightened, brooding, escaping into the darkness.

　Oh, no. Now when I remember bad things..,



　

　I want to-- I want to make it all go away (・・・・・・・).





　Let's not think about it. I take a deep breath and calm down.

　By the way.



"Oooh, oooh, ...... that's such a sad ...... thing to say!"



　Frey is bursting into tears. Isn't she too sensitive?　Are you really a demon tribe?

　The atmosphere softened somewhat, as if Uncle felt the same way.



"You are a strange demon tribe, aren't you? I thought demons didn't care about human life at all. The dead bodies we found along the way, you did that, didn't you?"



"If you are a human soldier, you are the enemy. If you are a human soldier, this is your enemy. But that's it. How sad must it have been for the mother who could not even embrace her beloved child. How frustrating it must have been for that child to die without a mother's arms around him. Human or demon, it doesn't matter!



　Frey's nose is running with tears and spit. It's a shame, she's so cute.



"I see. I'm not so sure about the whole "lord and master" thing, but ...... there."



　The bearded man lowered his huge hammer and pulled out a leather bag-like object from a large sack and threw it to Frey.



"I've been secretly forced to play the role of the prince's nanny. He must not have eaten anything since he was born. Fill his belly."



　Apparently it's a canteen. I guess it contains the breast milk I've been waiting for.

　Frey was wary, but when I told him to, he opened the lid of the canteen and put it to my mouth.



　She gulps it down.

　If he wanted to kill me, he wouldn't have gone through all this trouble. You wouldn't, would you?



　To be honest, I couldn't taste it at all. But my hunger was appeased.



"So, demon tribe. What do you want with the boy?　I don't think I could raise him if I took him away."



　Yes, I totally agree with you.



"You are free to call him your lord, but whether he wants it or not is another matter. Isn't it the duty of a subject to watch over his growth, at least until he comes of age?"



　This uncle is a man of good arguments.

　Frey couldn't even utter a word.



"I see you have no objection. Then let's make a deal. I'll take the boy. I swear I'll raise him until he comes of age. If you're worried, I'll hire you as his servant."



　I'm a little surprised. I don't know about you, but I thought people and demons were enemies in this world. ...... I'll have a look around.



"You're going to hire demons? I don't think people would approve."



"In that form, there will be no suspicion that you are a half-breed. Or perhaps you are not?



I am a pureblood Flame Fenrir.



　I dare you to make an honest confession. Now what?



"My God, ...... this is another big one. No wonder the hellhounds won't come near you. I digress. All I have to do is keep quiet that you're a pure-blood demon. You can act like one. What's your answer?



"I don't see why you should trust me. That's why I don't trust you.



I do not trust you either. If you move in any way, I will smash your head in with this war hammer.



"Ha!　You barked, human. If I find you are a threat to my master, I will bite your head off without mercy."



"I will not ask you now ...... why you claim him as your master. Do we have a deal?



　I think that's very important, but does it mean that my life is more important than that?

　I don't know. But--



"All right. I'll leave Mr. Hurt with you and I'll keep an eye on him."






　The bearded man gave a small nod, put the huge hammer on his back, and took out a white cloth from his baggage.

　He rips the cloth to pieces, slashes his own arm with a knife, and wipes the blood with a cloth.



"Destroy the cage that held the prince," he says.



"You want us to think we've been attacked and eaten by beasts."



　Frey took me in his arms and stomped out the cage.



　Now I'm sure I'm faked dead. Mission complete!　And we've (probably) got the makings of surviving infancy!



　Whew I'm tired ....... But thanks to Frey, even my extremely poor interpersonal communication skills were able to handle it. I'll consider the result as a blessing in disguise.



　And by the way...
