"......," Norn says, "what do you think, Ai?"

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

"Okay. If there are more beings who can use alchemy, I think it's worth a try.

　Tells Ai what Norn said.

　A beast with a bipedal dog.

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

　There was a time when humans could breed with it.

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

　However, since we don't know if the beastmen that existed at that time are really the same as the Elle we have now, it is doubtful that Norn's story is true.

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

　But it is a possibility.

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

　And Ai, whom I talked to about it, seems to think that if there is a possibility, we should do it.

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

　Well, that's right.

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

　We will never know unless we try.

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

　Ai would have said that we should do it thoroughly to verify the information.

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

　Was Ai the right person to consult?

"No, but who would want to have a child with that hairy dog person?"

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

"I'm sure there are some, aren't there?　Let's recruit. I'm sure you'll find someone."

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

"You sound very confident, Ai. Do you really think they're out there?

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

"If you look, you will find them. I hear that the number of animal lovers has been increasing recently due to [nyan-nyan] and [bunny-eared peepers]."

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

"Oh, I might have heard something about that. Hendriksen mentioned it. I think he said something about the growing popularity of girls wearing catnip on Purge Street these days. Well, if you like people with cat ears, you might like hairy dog people."

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

　There are strange people in this world.

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

　Maybe that hasn't changed much in the past.

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

　Ai reminded me that there are indeed "nyan-nyan" and "bunny-eared peong-pyong," and that there are people who love animals.

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

　It is not surprising that there are people who love dogs.

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

　However, we need to think about how to recruit them.

　The alchemy of turning iron into silver is a fundamental part of En, and it is highly classified information.

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

　We must be careful not to leak it too much to the outside world.

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

　I doubt that people who would voluntarily raise their hands to have a child with a bipedal dog would keep such a secret.

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

　In fact, I wonder if they would even tell people about it themselves.

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

　Anyone would be tempted to brag and slip out if they do something that others have not done.

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

　I don't think that secrecy is enough.

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

　Rather, it may be necessary to gather those who are determined enough to raise their hands with the information that they may not be able to come out to the public again, but still may be able to have a child with an unusual dog.

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

　It is not enough to just be curious.

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

　Worst of all, let's see if we can find someone who is willing to die for it.

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

I understand. Then, I'll put out a call.

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

　When I told this to Ai, he replied in a casual manner.

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

　It's quite clerical, but I wonder if someone like that will really appear.

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

　Well, if there isn't, I'll just have to wait for Elle and the others to come into heat.

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

　Ai immediately started to prepare for the recruitment.

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

　Ai started to prepare for the recruitment.

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

"What are you thinking?　That's an absolute no-no. You can't recruit anyone, Mr. Alphonse.

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

"...... No?　There are a lot of people out there, and I'm sure there are at least a few who would raise their hands."

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

"That's not the point. That's not the problem at all, Mr. Alphonse and Ms. Ai. Do you understand?　You two are already the most important people in this country, okay?　You must never do anything that would bring that kind of impression down to the lowest level. I would never allow such a recruitment."

　After Ai and I had talked it over, we were about to start preparations.

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

　Laura was furious with me.

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

　I don't think I've ever seen Laura so red-faced and angry.

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

　I think Laura herself had hardly ever seen me this angry.

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

　I wonder if Ai talked to Laura because she used to work as a high class prostitute.

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

　She must have thought that Laura might know someone who has a taste for weirdos or something like that.

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

　And it seems she was right.

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

　Laura is not the kind of person who wants to have a baby with a dog person, but she has met many people with different tastes and interests in her life.

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

　And based on her experiences, she has been absolutely against us.

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

　Apparently, this could be a very bad thing.

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

　He has heard and seen many stories of people in high positions, who had access to high-class prostitutes, who lost their jobs because their taste for such things was exposed.

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

　Apparently, lusting after animals can get us kicked out of our current positions.

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

　He repeatedly tells us to be very careful about what we say and do.

"But you know what? But then, we may not be able to increase the number of Elle and her friends for the time being.

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

"Why don't you just let those dogs play with you?"

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

"What?　Can a white dog man, a demon, have a child even with a dog?"

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

"I don't know. But if you can do it with a human, you can do it with a dog, can't you?　Anyway, I am firmly against it."

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

"Hmm. "Hmm. All right. Then I'll see if I can mate with a dog."

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

　Since people who don't usually get angry get so angry, you might as well listen to what they have to say.

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

　Besides, I heard an interesting possibility.

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

　It was strangely convincing to me that if dog people can have children with human beings, dogs can, too.

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

　Then, let's give it a try.

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

　With this thought in mind, I immediately decided to gather dogs.
