70 – Do it!
I took three centaurs and headed to the temple of the wild.
It was Mahesar, the male god of the wild, who gave the blessing to the centaurs, and he planned to find a solution to the problem by having the parties involved meet in person.
“Only the druids and centaurs, please follow.”
“The other kids, wait here. “We don’t have enough snacks to give to our guests.”
On the stone bridge leading to the temple, two Hoin children were waiting for us.
They were the priestesses of Cheongcheongyeongwol who noticed the centaur’s visit and came to meet them.
The group that followed did not have any complaints about the children’s instructions.
They were somewhat cheeky and arrogant kids, but they seemed to be treated in their own way as a priestess of Cheongcheongyeongwol.
“Hey! What is it! “Don’t pet me arbitrarily!”
“I can pet you. “I’ll allow the chin, not the head.”
“Che, Cheong-ah?!”
I entered the temple, playfully patting the little kids I hadn’t seen in a long time.
Three centaurs followed behind me, clattering their hooves.
I opened my mouth, stroking his chin as Cheong ordered.
“You both know what’s going on, right?”
“Hmph! They say they already knew about the new blessing a long time ago. “Is the baby you are holding in your arms a member of the newly born demon race?”
“That’s right. Very cute, right? “Would you like to give me a hug?”
“Huh! Is that okay?!”
I slowly turned around and looked at the centaur man.
Then he nodded and asked if Young could hold the baby.
He looked Young-i up and down, then shook his head slightly and answered.
“Blue fox. “It’s too small to hold a centaur baby.”
“Hey! I-I know too!? “I just said it once!?”
It certainly seemed difficult to leave the baby to Youngi.
It was partly because Youngi was too short, but it was also because the child of the Demon tribe was heavier than expected.
I smiled and handed the child I was holding to the centaur man.
Then, he gave a pout to Yeongi, who had become sullen, and started talking.
“For now, let’s just be satisfied with this.”
[Hey. What kind of baby substitute am I?]
“By the way, has Lord Mahesar already descended?”
[Hey! Don’t ignore what I say!]
Pi-yi shouted loudly, but Young-i’s expression became much brighter.
Youngi held Piyi in her arms like a baby and nodded his head in response.
“Yes. Mahesar has already come down. “It seemed like you were looking forward to meeting the demon people.”
“God. I’m excited now. “They’re in big trouble now.”
After finishing speaking, Cheong pointed to the centaur and giggled.
Mahesar, who loves beastmen so much, was excited at the thought of meeting a centaur.
For some reason, it felt like I could already see what was going to happen in the future.
I smiled awkwardly and gave advice to the centaurs behind me.
“Guys. From now on, you will meet a wild male god. His actions may seem a little suspicious, but he is a god who takes care of you, so be careful not to be rude.”
“Is God suspicious? “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“You’ll know when you see it.”
At my words, the centaurs tilted their heads and showed that they did not understand.
But there was no way to explain it clearly to me.
Isn’t it possible to say out loud, ‘Your god is suspiciously fond of animal ears and tails’?
I ruffled the little boys’ hair and avoided giving a detailed answer.
At that time, a soft voice was heard from the depths of the temple.
“Druid. “What do you mean I’m suspicious?”
The owner of the voice was, of course, Mahesar, the male god of the wild.
I was startled and raised my head to look at his expression and mood.
The male god, who embraces all the wild nature of the world, is approaching with a gentle smile.
Thankfully, he didn’t look angry or sulky at all.
I first bowed my head and said hello.
“It’s been a while.”
“Okay. It’s been such a long time. “I asked him to come visit me often, but he never came, so I was almost disappointed.”
“I’m sorry. “I’m so busy.”
“I didn’t really mean to blame you. “I’ve met two beautiful partners, so I have no choice but to be busy.”
“… ….”
Mahesar suddenly noticed and approached with strides.
Then I looked at the centaur behind me and smiled brightly like a child.
“Oh! “Looking at them in person, they are really cool kids!”
Mahesar, who passed me, showed his excitement by touching various parts of the centaur.
The sparkling eyes, the rough breathing, and the clear drool forming at the corner of the mouth. Even though he was a god, he looked very suspicious.
“As expected, the hoof shapes are different! “Can you lift your feet for a moment?!”
“Ah. Hmm?”
“Huh! The entire lower body is covered in fur! Boo, soft! But the muscles are strong!”
“Hike!”
The centaurs froze at Mahesar’s sudden skinship.
It may have been because they felt a sense of awe upon encountering a transcendent being, but judging by the sour expressions of all three, they seemed to be disgusted by the suspicious skinship.
I hope the Centaurs do not disappoint with Mahesar.
I shook my head and took the Demon child from the Centaur man and held him in his arms.
Then he tapped Mahesar, who was very excited, and got to the point.
“Mr. Mahesar. Let’s take a look at this child first. “I am a newly born demon child.”
“Huh? Oh yeah. It’s cute. Instead, look at this girl! It has the lower body of a deer! “Isn’t the fur pattern really attractive?!”
“Uh. Yes. If there is a child who inherits the wild nature of a deer, I think we can call it a deer person. But if you take a look at this child first….”
“Huh! The leg muscles are structured like this! It’s truly amazing! It’s just pathetic that it’s a monster’s body! “I wanted to bless you in this condition!”
“… ….”
Mahesar was busy wiping his drool and examining the centaur.
Then, I looked around while holding the dozing child.
The priestesses sigh deeply. Piyi’s expression is crumpled and she is horrified. Centaurs frozen in fear.
Everyone was looking at Mahesar with a look of disappointment.
‘I didn’t know you liked centaurs more than children.’
I frowned and hugged the child.
How can you ignore a being who was born into the world through your own blessing in this way?
No matter how much he was a god, such behavior was bound to be frowned upon.
“Belly button! Come to think of it, where is the belly button of a centaur?!”
“Hi!”
At that moment, Mahesar was crossing the line against the female-bodied deer centaur.
Mahesar examining where the centaur’s navel is located between the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse.
I kicked Mahesar’s butt without hesitation.
“Ugh!?”
“Huh! “Well, what are you doing!”
[Go, Gaul?!]
When I kicked Mahesar’s butt, there were shouts of shock from those around me.
It was a strange situation not to be surprised since it was like a mere druid had beaten a god.
‘What should I do now?’
I myself was shocked because it was such an impulsive action.
But what can I do when I’ve already beaten him?
I quickly placed an iron plate on his face and shot at Mahesar.
“Mahesar. Come to your senses. What is important now is the newly born demon and green race children. “If you have planted the blessing of wildness, you must be responsible until the end.”
“Ah! Well, I see. I did something sorry to my child. “I admit my mistake.”
“I’m so glad you understand.”
“Still, hitting on God is a bit… Please restrain yourself. “If it were Trius, he would have been punished immediately.”
“Yes. “I will keep that in mind.”
Fortunately, Mahesar acknowledged his mistake and was forgiven.
If it had been Trius, I probably wouldn’t have even thought about hitting him, but there’s no need to bring up such a traitor.
I showed Mahesar the child he was holding, nodding his head.
“She’s such a cute girl. Come closer. “We need to make sure the blessing of the wild is properly established.”
Mahesar placed her finger on her child’s forehead and began examining her mana.
Then, as if there was a lot of free time left, he gave a brief explanation of the situation.
From Noble mtl dot com
“As I said last time, new beastmen will continue to be born. Just as the Woodman race was a monster named Minotaur in the past, Centaurs are also being reborn as the Demon Race and the Green Race. “Currently, centaurs are in the process of evolution.”
Can something completely different in just one generation be considered evolution?
I asked Mahesar with honest concern.
“But was the external change really necessary? It must have been confusing because the number of feet was different. “How dare you come to me as soon as you heard the rumor about the druids?”
The centaurs nodded their heads in agreement with my words.
I couldn’t help but smile bitterly because I could understand their difficulties to some extent.
How could I not be surprised when each new born child is missing two legs?
Mahesar responded to the centaurs’ reaction with a sad expression.
“That breaks my heart too. “If I could, I wanted to bring that wonderful person into my family.”
“You look really sad. “Is there any reason why that couldn’t be done?”
“It is because the gods lack imagination. That is why all members of the family are modeled after God. “I would have to bestow a magic along with a blessing, but since I have two legs, I can’t think of a magic suitable for quadrupedal walking.”
“… ….”
“…… Could you please stop looking at me so pitifully? Suppressing the imagination of the gods is essential to a world that has already been completed. “If our gods let their imaginations run wild, disaster-like events would unfold in this world.”
“Oh, yes. “I understand that’s the case.”
“It’s true… ….”
Whatever the reason, it seemed that the newly born Demon and Green tribes would be bipedal.
In that case, we had no choice but to give full support to the Centaurs.
This was because the centaurs had no knowledge of raising children from the beast people.
How can you raise a beastman child when everything from shoes to clothing is different?
The centaurs desperately needed nannies to teach them how to raise children.
“Then, instead of helping the new subordinate, can’t you just do me two favors?”
“Hmm? Ask?”
But I was reluctant to help for free.
Isn’t it Mahesar who gave the centaur his blessing and started the work?
If you did something, you have to take responsibility for it.
I held up my finger to Mahesar and asked for compensation for my labor.
“I hope you will help all the beast people in the Great Forest to interact with Qingqing Yingyue.”
First, I let down my guard by making a relatively easy request.
Since it was a simple request to just give an oracle to each place, Mahesar also nodded willingly, saying he could do that much.
I grinned and lifted my second finger.
“And please reduce the magic mana consumption.”
At my request, Mahesar smiled faintly and looked away.
Judging from the reaction, it seemed like it was a difficult request to grant.
I brought the Majin child I was holding to Mahesar and asked him again.
“Please reduce mana consumption.”
“Well, that’s a bit…” .”
“Please shave it off.”
“Mana is important even to gods….”
Mahesar continued to refuse in a very persistent manner.
In the end, I had no choice but to use my child as a shield and act unreasonably.
“Please shave it off!”
“Umm….”
“Do it!!”
Ah! Do something!
