Dad reaches for the rock.

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

Is it okay if I touch it?"

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

'I don't want anything to happen to it. I found a branch at ......."

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

He picks up a branch that had fallen near the rock and gently pokes it.

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

"What?"

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

I was a little surprised to see the surface of the rock crumbling just by poking it with the branch.

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

Rocks don't crumble that easily, do they?

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

Ivy, I don't think this is a rock.

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

Dad scratches the surface of what looks like a rock with the branch.

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

A white part begins to show through the ragged surface.

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

This ...... is Ryu's Cubby."

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

Don't you want ...... Ryu's egg?　

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

Kotama?

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

Oh, you mean ...... egg!

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

What? But then, why did I think it was a sign that I knew?

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

I don't think I know any sign of Ryu.

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

Are you sure it's Ryu's baby egg?

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

'Oh, the shape and size of it. I'm sure it's a Ryu baby. What's wrong?

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

I thought I've felt the presence from that baby ball somewhere before. But I've never had anything to do with Ryu, so I was wondering why.

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

That's probably it.

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

How do you know?

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

In the woods near Alltown, Ryu was dead, wasn't he?

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

Yes.

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

He was the one who caused the demons to run amok with the remaining magical power.

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

Probably, there must have been some sign of Ryu left around the town of All.

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

He's dead, but there's a sign?

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

You seem to be wondering.

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

'Yes, that's right. I thought that signs only existed in living things.

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

How is that possible?

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

But that's what your father says.

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

The sign of a long-lived Ryu is said to remain in the vicinity of his death for several years after his death. But I read in the literature that the signs of a living Ryu that remain for several years seem to be assimilated into the forest from the time it is alive, and no one can recognize them as Ryu's signs. Ivy could have sensed it somewhere in Alltown, or maybe Ivy passed through the same place that Ryu passed through.

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

Ivy said, "Is Ryu's presence assimilated into the forest?"

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

Ivy's presence in the forest is like that of the forest. Well, it was written that it takes a long time to grow up to be such a Ryu.

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

That's right.

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

I haven't done much research on Ryu, because I doubt I'll ever have anything to do with him.

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

It just says that he is a higher level demon and a fearsome being.

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

But why is Ryu's baby ball in a place like this?"

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

Is it strange?"

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

'Oh, it couldn't have fallen in the middle of the forest like this. It's more likely that someone brought it to this place.

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

Does that mean he stole it from somewhere?

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

Druid. I came here because you didn't come back, what's wrong?"

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

I looked at Mr. Ur's voice and saw him coming toward us, waving his hand.

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

Behind him were Mr. Gallus and the others.

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

'I have Ryu's baby ball.

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

What?　In a place like this?

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

Mr. Ur wrinkled his brow when he saw the Ryu no Kodama.

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

A Ryu's baby ball in a dumping ground that an adventurer had unjustly created? No matter how you look at it, that means there was a fool."

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

I tilted my head at Mr. Ur's words.

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

I have no idea what he means.

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

An unjust dump and Ryu, and a fool?

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

By idiots, do you mean adventurers?

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

What do you mean?"

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

Mr. Gallus is poking Ryu's baby ball with a branch with interest.

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

Either they were trying to tame Ryu, or they were trying to sell him. Either way, he is a fool.

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

Mr. Gallus and the others looked surprised at his father's words.

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

"Tame Ryu?　Oh, he thought he could do it right after he was born?　And selling him, even as a baby, Ryu?

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

Did they think that they could take Ryu, whose strength was still weak?

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

And selling him?

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

Who would want a baby ball that might hatch a lu?

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

'Nobles and rich people, they want it. They want Ryu. And they want a baby ball that they can carry around.

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

It's reckless, isn't it?"

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

At Mr. Gallus' words, his father and Mr. Ur nodded.

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

He was a little nervous, but he was reckless. Even if we succeeded and got the baby ball, would it be eaten by Ryu's child the moment it hatched? The parent Ryu will come looking for the baby and go on a rampage. Either way, you die."

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

And yet, they want it.

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

Ursan's explanation makes me laugh.

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

'Perhaps this time, the goal is tame. There were a lot of magic items in the dump. I haven't seen what kind of magic items they are, but I'm sure there are a lot of things that can fool the spirits and magic powers and appearance.　The rest would be magic items that might hasten the hatching of the cubs."

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

The father sighs and sticks a branch into the crack of the hatchling.

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

With a sigh, he thrust the branch into the crack, and the hatchling cracked open.

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

Empty?"

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

I was relieved when I heard the father's words.

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

I had thought it might have died inside the hibi, but the fact that it was empty meant that it had hatched.

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

Oh, but if it was born ......, does that mean it has been tamed?

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

Ivy.

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

Yes?"

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

I looked at my father and he patted me on the head.

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

The Ryu child is quite strong right from birth. And since his parents were not around, he must have been unstable. The literature says that without their parents, Ryu's children can be quite violent.

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

In other words, even at the moment of ...... birth, Ryu's children cannot be tamed.

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

I see. Good.

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

The adventurer who stole the baby ball is now being nourished by Ryu's child.

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

...... nourishment.

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

I see.

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

Speaking of which, Ursan said, "The moment they hatch, they'll be eaten by Ryu's children."

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

I looked at my father and cowered my shoulders.

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

Haha."

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

Now I know why he called the adventurer who stole the baby ball a fool.

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

Because no matter what he did, the result was that he would be eaten, but he had a hand in it, didn't he?

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

I can guess from the empty baby ball that Ryu's cubs hatched, but do you think he got to see the parent Ryu?"

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

Mr. Ur looked at his father a little uneasily.

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

I've read in the literature that Ryu is a loving demon. I'm sure his parents are looking for him and have found him."

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

'That's right. Otherwise, we'd be in quite a pickle."

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

Mr. Ur looks around.

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

Together we look around, but there is nothing of particular interest.

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

Of course, there is no sign of Ryu's child.

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

Oh, that."

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

I looked at the voice of Mr. Ars, and although it was a little far away, I could confirm that a person was lying on the ground.

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

That's a ...... person, isn't it? No, it was a person.

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

The father chuckled at Mr. Ul's disgusted expression.

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

Indeed, we can see human legs.

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

However, only the feet are visible.

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

The upper half of the body seems to have been nourished by Ryu's child.

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

Or, it became nourishment for other demons.

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

Gwah~......

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

What?"

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

The loud cry that suddenly echoed throughout the forest made my body tremble.

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

The next moment, I felt my father embrace me tightly.

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

I looked for a sign, but I couldn't sense anything.

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

Where is he?

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

Could it be Ryu?"

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

I get nervous when my father says that.

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

Is Ryu nearby?

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

'I don't know, but I don't sense any sign of him.

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

That means Ryu has lived for a long time, right?

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

I could feel the tension in all of us at Mr. Ur's words.

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

'Gwah~!

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

His voice got louder!

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

Are we getting closer?

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

Nyaa~n!"

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

Eh, Ciel?

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

I can't see him, but the sound he's making right now is ciel.

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

What shall we do?

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

Did he go towards Ryu?

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

I look around, but he's nowhere to be found.

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

'Ppppp~'

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

Sora."

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

I looked at my feet and saw Sora and the others coming up beside me.

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

'Gwahhh.

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

'Ah. Your voice has changed its mood."

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

Ursan looked a little relieved.

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

Is everything alright now?

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

Nyan.

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

Can Ryu and Adandara talk to each other?"

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

Dad tilted his head and Mr. Ur shook his head as if he didn't know.

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

It doesn't seem to be mentioned in the literature either.

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

Up!　Up!

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

I heard Mr. Ars's voice and looked up.

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

It's Ryu.

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

I saw Ryu flying up in the sky.

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

Ah, there is little Ryu.

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

I was so happy to see him. Ryu's little boy is with him."

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

Ursan sat down and let out a sigh.

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

Phew."

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

Dad let out a small breath and fell to his knees on the spot with a gulp.

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

Dad!　Are you okay?"

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

He was scared. That was scary.

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

He looked up in the sky, but there was already no sign of Ryu and his son.

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

Did they go home?

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

Maybe. They must have gone back to the unknown land.

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

Unknown land?

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

Dad, where are you talking about, the unknown land?

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

There was no such place on the map.

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

There is a place beyond the capital that is inaccessible to man. Come to think of it, it's not even on the map.

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

An unknown land that is not even on the map.
