"Well done. That's great, Billy."

No, no. I didn't do anything. Oh, thanks to Mr. Ars.

"Of course not. It's Billy who's been working on the beast all this time, and now this. I couldn't have done it without you, Billy.

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Ars. Now we can increase the number of the beast eggs."

　The political work in the city of Fontana, the construction of rivers in various areas, and the creation of a new medic unit to be introduced into the Fontana army.

　All these jobs kept me quite busy, and in no time at all the season had turned into summer.

　Then I received good news.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A report from Billy, a boy who had been researching the beast of burden in Vulcania.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He had finally succeeded in producing in Vulcania a beast of burden with the magic of spawning.

　A messenger beast is a mysterious creature that is born with various appearances and ecologies by the power of human magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The form in which they are born is determined by the magic power they absorb when they are in their eggs, and securing these eggs was an extremely important issue for the Kingdom of Fontana.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The eggs are produced and sold by a certain noble family, and the noble family is said to have a special magic called "spawning" that causes the beast to lay eggs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Currently, only these "spawning" beasts are able to obtain the eggs, and they are strictly controlled by the aristocratic family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, there was an incident that drastically changed this situation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That was the capture of the Royal City area by the Memento family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, it was the aristocrats in the royal city area who were producing and selling the eggs of the beast of burden.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Memento family was "protecting" these noble families as well as the capture of King's Landing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This meant that the production of the sacred beast eggs had been suppressed by the Memento family.

　Fontana became an independent kingdom and established its position, but there are still many challenges ahead.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Among them, securing the Valkyries, the messenger beasts that became a major force in the independence movement, was an important issue.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Valkyries made it possible to move troops over long distances in a short period of time, and also made it possible to fight during the winter season.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If the Memento family did something to prevent the Fontana Kingdom from obtaining the Valkyrie eggs, the impact would be immeasurable.

　Therefore, a way to obtain the Conjugate's eggs on their own was necessary at all costs.

　Billy, a boy the same age as Kyle, has been working on the research for years.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Considering the fact that the tracking birds were able to send letters to Rion who was staying far away in King's Landing, perhaps they were not simply scent-sensitive birds, but magical messengers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In addition, they had succeeded in hatching other useful and high-magic-loaded beasts such as weather birds used to guide airships, and birds that shed their feathers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, the research on the usage beasts had achieved a certain level of success, but even so, it had been difficult to create the usage beasts with the magic of [spawning], which had been the goal from the beginning.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Various people who can use the magic of Barca are asked to inject magic power into the eggs to hatch them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Furthermore, we combine the [magical power injection] of multiple people in a vast array of patterns to examine the tendencies of the conjugated beasts that are born, and study the combinations that are likely to produce magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We have continued our research in this way, but have not been able to find a path to success.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The final conclusion was that it is highly unlikely that any combination of magical powers can conveniently produce a beast that possesses the magic of "spawning".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, Billy has now succeeded in reproducing a beast of burden in Vulcania that has the ability to spawn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What this means is that instead of creating a new [spawning] beast, he has succeeded in reproducing the exact same species of [spawning] beast that already exists in the royal city area.

"I didn't think the key was in the recovery magic."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ah, when I heard about the mass production of dog people by Ars-sama, I wondered if it was possible. It seems that applying recovery magic to the eggs was a good idea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Billy, who was having trouble creating a [spawner] with a combination of magical powers, heard a strange story from Kyle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a story about how I had increased the number of demons with only males.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The details of the story were top-secret and Kyle couldn't give me any more information, but Billy was still curious and asked me about it directly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then he told me about my cloning Taro.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A clone is created by injecting Taro's cells, a white dog person, into the unfertilized eggs of a black dog person female.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In this process, I cast a healing spell on the unfertilized eggs before returning them to the female's body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know how the cloning was successful, but I think it was the application of recovery magic that led to the success of the cloning.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And that's what Billy thought.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder what would happen if I cast a restoration spell on the egg of the messenger beast.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But Billy cannot use recovery magic, though he is curious about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's why he asked me to do it, even though he was a little scared.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He asked me to cast a recovery spell on the messenger egg.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This idea had never occurred to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had always heard that the conjugate eggs grow and hatch by sucking out the magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But Billy was right, if I could use the recovery magic that can heal even a missing human body and even create a clone of it on the Conjugate eggs, I might be able to get new experimental results.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And so, I was to use the restoration magic repeatedly on the Conjugate's eggs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course, a few times were not enough, and I continued to use recovery magic, which consumes a large amount of magic power, over and over again, and for a long period of time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And one of the eggs hatched.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If the egg hatched, it must have absorbed my magic power, and if so, a Valkyrie should be born.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But what hatched from the egg was not Valkyrie.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A golden hen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A messenger beast that looks like a chicken covered with golden fur.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The messenger beast, which bore no resemblance to Valkyrie, grew up and one morning, it laid an egg.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And the egg looked just like a conjugate's egg, and when the egg was filled with magic power, a conjugate was born with various characteristics depending on the quality of the magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Billy has checked this golden hen many times.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He checked whether or not it is really a type of magical beast that has [egg laying].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Do they lay eggs afterwards?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We also checked various other points of interest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, I came to a conclusion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This "golden hen" is the exact same beast as the original one produced in the King's Landing, and is a perfect reproduction of the original one using recovery magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We have also confirmed that the golden hen can hatch the same golden hen by pouring its own magic power into the eggs it lays.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, it is possible to increase the number of golden hens starting from this golden hen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, Valka has established a means to always have access to the eggs of the messenger beasts.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Although this was not the original hypothesis, it seems to have worked out well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Billy had succeeded in his years of research on the hermaphrodite in a very successful way.
