"That's great, brother Ars. I had no idea there was such a use for recovery magic.

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

"Yeah, actually, I never thought of using recovery magic on the Conjugate's eggs either. Billy had been thinking about the Conjugate Egg for a long time, so I guess that's why it hit him when he heard about it."

"But it's strange. If golden hens can hatch from the egg of an apostle in that way, it seems to me that someone in the church should have done it by now.

"No, I don't think so. It's not possible without predicting the mechanism of the recovery magic on the egg of the beast of burden.

　Billy's research has led him to a golden hen that has the ability to lay eggs.

　Hearing this, I decided to invite Kyle over and serve Billy a meal, albeit a small one.

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

　While eating the meal, Kyle and I discuss the situation.

　Why did the egg of the messenger beast turn into a golden hen instead of a Valkyrie when I cast a recovery spell on it?

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

　If you want to find that out, you might have to experiment to see if someone other than me can reproduce the golden hen by casting a recovery spell on the egg of the conjugated beast, or you might have to go to the original owner of the egg and interview him by blitz.

　But I can think of a hypothesis that this might be the case.

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

　The eggs of the messenger beasts are born with various shapes and properties by absorbing magic power.

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

　This may be similar to the relationship between a canvas and paints.

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

　The egg of the beast is a blank canvas, and each person paints it with the paint of his/her own magical power.

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

　As a result, the properties of the hatched messengers change according to the color of the canvas.

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

　Therefore, if the magic power of several people is absorbed, it will be a different conjugate, but it will be a different color due to the mixing of several paints.

　The story changes when we use a recovery magic on the egg of the beast.

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

　The restoration magic is powerful enough not only to repair wounds but also to heal defects.

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

　I'm using my magical power as a paint, but what will happen if I let the conjured beast egg absorb the magical power by applying recovery magic?

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

　Perhaps, the color recovery, that is, the initialization of the color of the canvas, will occur.

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

　The canvas that was supposed to be painted with the paint of my magic power, however, is filled only with the pure white color of the original canvas when I use the recovery magic to paint the whole canvas.

　As a result, the original, or golden hen, the creator of the original messenger egg must have hatched.

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

　And there is another answer to Kyle's question as to why others have not been able to do so.

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

　That is, the eggs did not hatch without the repeated use of recovery magic over and over again.

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

　It is possible that the church officials may have used restoration magic on the eggs once or twice.

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

　But that would not hatch them.

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

　Dozens of times may not be enough.

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

　In other words, there may have been people who have used restoration magic on the eggs of the messenger beasts, but it is very likely that they all gave up and stopped using it on the eggs halfway through.

　The only reason why Billy and I succeeded was because of our success in the other aspect of Taro's cloning.

"Speaking of which, will Billy continue his research at the castle?"

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

"Uh-huh. Master Ars said I could stay."

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

"Yes. Brother Ars is very thoughtful. I was wondering if Billy might lose his job if his research was successful.

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

"Oh, come on, Kyle. I don't treat people like they're disposable. Well, I'm not gonna leave Billy without a job. He's about to get married.

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

"Yes, it was. I'm getting married to Kiri, the most popular radio broadcaster of the moment. Congratulations, Billy."

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

"Oh, thank you, Kyle. Thank you, Mr. Ars. I'll do my best to do even better.

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

"Yeah, it's nice to meet you too, Billy. Golden hens lay eggs, but you can't just add a bunch of them. You have to manage them well and increase them. But please continue your research on other beasts of burden, okay?"

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

Yes, sir. Can I continue my research toward a hexenbiest type as before?"

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

"Yes, that's right. Of course, it would be preferable to be a useful beast of burden. But I'll leave it to you, Billy.

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

"Yes, I understand, Mr. Ars. I'll take care of it."

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

"Oh, nice to meet you."

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

　Even though we have a golden hen that lays the eggs of a messenger beast, I do not intend to discontinue my research altogether.

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

　Billy's research was and will continue to be important.

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

　It would have a significant impact on future economic activities.

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

　Because, basically, most of the service animals are over after one generation.

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

　For example, no matter how many battle-tested dragons are produced from eggs, if the owner of the magical power that hatched the dragon dies, there will be no next generation left.

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

　Although a messenger beast is a very useful creature for human beings, it is difficult to use it from a long-term viewpoint.

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

　However, there is a clue to solve this problem.

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

　There are exceptions, such as Valkyries and golden hens, in which the messenger beasts themselves give magic power to their eggs to hatch their own kind.

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

　This may be similar to cloning in a sense.

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

　But it is still possible to leave the same species to future generations.

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

　What is needed for this is to have enough magical power to hatch the same kind from the egg of the beast of service.

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

　In other words, it is necessary not only to produce useful usable beasts, but also to create usable beasts with a large amount of magical power if we want to leave them to future generations.

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

　Billy's research needs to be continued in this aspect, and it is worth it.

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

　Well, it is also true that he is going to marry Kiri.

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

　I don't know much about Kiri and Billy's marriage, but it seems to be a love marriage.

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

　But if Billy loses his job at this point, the story will be over in no time.

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

　Because Kili is the most sought after woman in the Kingdom of Fontana right now.

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

　I had my reasons.

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

　I have appeared on the radio several times before, but when I was on the same show with Kiri, I allowed myself to speak quite frankly.

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

　The fact is that Kiri's family of birth is a family of star readers who serve the nobility in the royal sphere, and they are also a former noble family.

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

　I am a radio broadcaster in the Royal Capital Region, but if I, a peasant from a remote area, spoke too superiorly to Kili, a former member of a noble family from the Royal Capital Region, the broadcast might be well-received in Barca, but might be resented in the Royal Capital Region.

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

　Rather than a former peasant upstart acting all high and mighty to a nice young lady in the royal capital, I was showing a friendly attitude and I was the only one who used honorifics at the beginning of the program, which is why there are people who listen to the program even in the royal capital area.

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

　It seems that people living in the King's Landing area have a high level of awareness at the common people's level.

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

　But I am not just a peasant boy.

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

　I am the head of the Barca family, the vizier and grand marshal of the Kingdom of Fontana.

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

　Kiri is an unmarried woman with whom I can talk frankly and without reproach.

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

　How valuable she is!

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

　Kiri was being courted not only by the common people who listened to the radio, but also by the second and third sons of knights who wanted to rise in the world, and by the upper class who were plotting to gain a foothold in the upper echelons of the kingdom.

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

　Some of the letters came from outside the kingdom and from his parents' house.

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

　Then a shocking marriage proposal was made between Kiri and Billy.

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

　Of course, I am not against it and I support it.

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

　Therefore, Billy will have to give me a reasonable salary to marry Kiri.

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

　Thus, another man was born, a man from a peasant background, but with a salary far above that of most knights.
