ED: I will be changing some names from the previous translations if I think another name would work better, e.g. Skills being divided into Martial Arts, Magic Skills, Techniques, Physical Skills, and Others. I will also use an ‘Inventory [Infinite Storage]’ notation for furigana, since author-san sometimes uses it for double meanings and\/or jokes, like in ‘Garbage [Blessing’s Remnant]’, or ‘Minerva [Miss Big Boobs]’. Think of it as the main character saying the former while thinking the latter. Still, I might skip it if it’s redundant, like in ‘Acceleration [Acceleration]’, or if it just works without brackets, like in ‘Colette, the female Branch Manager’.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chapter 60 \u2013 Fishing and a Monster Girl<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Author\u2019s Notes: There was a hint hidden somewhere in the previous chapter, about what Part 4 will be all about.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After dinner, we talked about today\u2019s events, as we did yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe ate over 30 meals in a single day. We spent a lot of money.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve checked off most of the shops on our \u2018recommended\u2019 list, so, from tomorrow on, we\u2019ll start looking for those hole-in-the-wall places.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s right. We\u2019ve already been to most of the reasonably well-known restaurants. Tomorrow, it\u2019s time to start following our intuition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems that Sera and Mio have eaten their way through quite a few shops. But really, Sera\u2019s stomach is bottomless. And she’s not out of shape at all. In fact, there are no excess calories, so there\u2019s no way she can gain weight to begin with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPretty sure I can recreate at least 90% of them, so I\u2019ll be adding them to my repertoire.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe’ve had a lot of fish dishes, since there are multiple rivers and lakes nearby. Most of the meat seemed to be imported from Estia. It all tasted the same.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, you can tell?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s common for people to misunderstand, since I\u2019m a big eater, but I\u2019m pretty confident in my taste buds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHmm, that\u2019s certainly surprising.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was always under the impression that people don\u2019t really savour their food when they just shove it in. Then again, Sera eats a lot, but it\u2019s not like she\u2019s overeating. Even if she chews very fast, and her hands and mouth are always moving, …isn\u2019t that also a good way to enjoy a meal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cActually, Sera-chan\u2019s tongue has helped me and Nino-chan a lot. The three of us are usually of one mind when it comes to food-tasting, so if she says we don\u2019t need to try a dish, we can safely just skip it.\u201d (ED: Nino is a maid, and Mio’s first cooking apprentice. She appeared in Chapter 43.5: Food Fight! Sera)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf it\u2019s a poorly made dish, there\u2019s no need for Mio and everyone to try it. Plus, I want you to prioritise studying food that everyone will enjoy eating.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLeave it to me! I will eventually make it possible for you to eat dishes from all over the world at this mansion!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the Chamber of Advanced Commerce sets up portals around the world, and procures the ingredients and the cooking techniques of those countries, it really might be possible to eat dishes from around the world at our mansion in the future. Still, I don\u2019t need any from Eludia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Mio and Sera\u2019s recap, it was finally Sakura\u2019s turn. Well, we still have the Garbage [Blessing\u2019s Remnant] to talk about, but since we\u2019re relaxing at the moment, I\u2019ll leave it for another time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe next one is me… I\u2019ve finally learned a new skill! It\u2019s called \u2018Fast Reading\u2019!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, that\u2019s great!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sakura told me before that she wanted to get some skills on her own, since, unlike me, she has a non-zero chance of learning new ones. I was getting worried about her, since she hadn\u2019t mentioned anything about it since, but, apparently, she was able to learn one successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kinoshita Sakura<\/strong>
Skills:<\/strong>
Techniques: <Fast Reading LV1 new><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIs \u2018Fast Reading\u2019 a Technique?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes… But the other skills were too hard for me to get…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martial Arts, Magic Skills and Physical Skills require a great deal of talent to learn. For Sakura, who isn\u2019t very good at moving her body, Martial Arts and Physical Skills might be a bit too much to ask for, and as for the Magic Skills, she already has most of them, so it would probably be difficult for her to learn any new ones. Well, if anything, this only further accentuates the abnormality of Maria, who learns new skills with little effort, and Kate, who learned other Magic Skills on her own, after I gave her just \u2018Water Magic\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd the production skills are just…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRight, people with special powers have a negative correction to their production skills.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Techniques also include production-related skills, but when it comes to those, some people get worse results than others. Like, when making potions… Honestly, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s possible to get a skill that won\u2019t help you in one way or another, so she should probably concentrate on the non-production-related Techniques going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes… So, I\u2019ve been trying out various skills that I\u2019ve learned back in our home world… This time around, I had some free time, so I tried using the ones related to books, and I successfully acquired the \u2018Fast Reading\u2019 skill…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, Sakura-sama, were you able to read really fast in our home world as well?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes… But I didn\u2019t really use it that often… Only when I didn\u2019t have much time, or when there was a book I really wanted to read…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sakura nodded, as she answered Mio\u2019s question. Still, how come she could use this skill in our home world, but didn\u2019t get it when we came over to this world?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: If she hadn\u2019t used it since coming to this world, she didn\u2019t fulfil the conditions for learning the actual skill. (ED: In italics for telepathy)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I see. So that\u2019s why when I came to this world, the skills I developed back home didn\u2019t show up as actual skills, right? And since I can\u2019t learn new skills on my own, I can\u2019t get them any more either. …Dang it! Maybe I\u2019ll just try teaching them to Maria instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy the way, Maria, how many new skills have you learned since we started integrating skills?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if I don\u2019t do anything, Maria keeps getting new skills on her own all the time. She immediately transfers the skill points to me (via Alta), so there\u2019s nothing left in her skills list, but even so, she acquired quite a lot of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, there were: \u2018Jiu-jitsu\u2019, \u2018Claw Mastery\u2019, \u2018Gauntlet Mastery\u2019, \u2018Chain-Sickle Mastery\u2019, \u2018Agriculture\u2019, \u2018Animal Dissection\u2019, \u2018Item Repair\u2019, \u2018Trapping\u2019, \u2018Wall Running\u2019, and \u2018Diving\u2019. I already reported about \u2018Fishing\u2019, and \u2018Pisciculture\u2019 that I learned yesterday, Jin-sama, but if I include those, it will be 12 skills in total.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYep, that\u2019s quite a lot. Keep up the good work.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes. Please leave it to me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason why I took the trouble to ask her via telepathy, was because openly asking Maria, who is the unrivalled leader in skill acquisition, about this topic right now would be pretty mean to Sakura. It would be like saying \u2018What are you, finally learning a single skill?\u2019, or something like that. …Well, I\u2019m not the one to tell her that, with my 0% chance of skill acquisition…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I had another look at the list of Maria\u2019s self-taught skills the other day, it was already quite impressive, but there weren\u2019t many Martial Arts, so I asked her to try and learn some that I know of, and this is how it turned out. …Overall, it looks very Japanese-esqe and ninja-like. By the way, isn\u2019t there a \u2018Ninjutsu\u2019 skill?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: There is.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve decided. I\u2019ll have Maria learn \u2018Ninjutsu\u2019 next time. This way, I can give her plenty of advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s the matter, Jin-kun? You look like you\u2019ve made up your mind on something.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, it\u2019s nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll think about \u2018Maria\u2019s Ninja-Training Plan\u2019 later, so, for now, let\u2019s keep talking about Sakura\u2019s new skill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way you phrased it earlier, it sounded as if you had a few other candidates, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe other ones didn\u2019t pan out so well, so I\u2019d appreciate it if you didn\u2019t ask…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, there\u2019s always tomorrow, and it might not be something you can learn right away, so don\u2019t get discouraged and give up right away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re right… I\u2019ll give it a few more tries…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Sakura\u2019s recap now over, we decided to go to bed. Of course, Dora was already asleep. She\u2019s my body pillow for today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next day, it was the third day of free activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was nice, taking my time fishing, but I also wanted to get a bigger catch once in a while, so I decided to start fishing with bait after an hour. I was using paste bait, not worms, nor other insects. I took a pinch of it from the bag and kneaded it with my fingers to make it round, before sticking it on the hook, and dropping it into the lake, letting it sink with a *plop* sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Boom!-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What jumped out of the lake with a loud bang was a huge serpent, about 10 metres long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sea Serpent (Rare)<\/strong>
LV85<\/strong>
Skills: <Water Magic LV7> <Aquatic LV6> <Diving LV6> <Flying LV2> <Transformation LV7><\/strong>
Notes: A sea-dwelling monster.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I seem to have caught a monster, and a pretty big one at that. The \u2018Notes\u2019 say it lives in the sea, but this is a lake, right? Other than that, its level is unusually high. It\u2019s not a monster that should be living in a random lake, you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sea Serpent glared at me, with the fish hook still firmly lodged into its jaw. Clearly, it has judged me to be the enemy. …Yeah, having a fish hook stuck in your mouth is pretty painful I\u2019d imagine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apparently, It decided to get rid of me instead of running away, as it charged straight at me. Given how it has the \u2018Flying\u2019 skill, it doesn\u2019t seem to be confined to just water. As it approached me, it jumped out of the lake and tried to body-slam me. Well, with 10 metres in length, and a thickness roughly that of a telegraph pole, it must be pretty heavy. If an ordinary person were to get hit by it, they likely wouldn\u2019t come out unscathed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, I decided to dodge, letting the Sea Serpent fly right past me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although it missed with its initial attack, it kept circling in the air around me looking for another opening. Well, if you\u2019re not gonna come to me on your own… I yanked on the fishing rod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGYOOOOON!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sea Serpent gave its distinctive cry as it suddenly lost its balance. It managed to avoid crashing down though, and was now flying through the air, while dragging me along. By the way, the fishing rod that Colette, the female Branch Manager, prepared for me is really sturdy. It didn\u2019t break, even when facing a 10-metre-long monster, and neither did the fishing line snap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no need for Jin-sama to fight a meagre monster. I will deal with it myself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saying that, Maria stepped forward, ready to battle, with the Sunlight Sword \u2013 Sol already in her right hand and the Moonlight Sword \u2013 Luna in her left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaria, wait. Don\u2019t attack this guy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy? It\u2019s a monster that attacked Jin-sama, isn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s my prey. I\u2019m gonna catch it myself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guy was in the lake, and it bit on my hook, so, in other words, it\u2019s now a one-on-one battle between us, and the Sea Serpent hasn\u2019t given in to me yet. Also, I can\u2019t exactly say that I\u2019ve fished it out, now that it\u2019s in the air, since it has the \u2018Flying\u2019 skill, plus, I didn\u2019t as much pull it out of the water, as it came flying right at me on its own. Therefore, until there\u2019s a clear winner, I can\u2019t let Maria harpoon at it from the side. She does use swords though. (ED: Probably a whaling metaphor or something)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c…I understand. I wish you the best of luck.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maria immediately backed down. It\u2019s not like my life is in danger, and since she is already nearby, she was likely more accommodating this time around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we fought head on, there\u2019s no way I could lose, however, since this is a battle of fishing, if the fishing line snaps, or the rod breaks, it\u2019s my loss. And I\u2019m a pretty competitive person, in case you didn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGYUOOOOOO!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A magic circle appeared in front of the Sea Serpent. It\u2019s blue, so it\u2019s definitely Water Magic. Plus, I\u2019d already seen it on its skills list…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About 10 seconds later, Aqua Spread, a level 3 Water Magic spell, was activated. It\u2019s a spell that launches ten or so water spheres, each one larger than the level 1 spell, Aqua Ball, so it\u2019s hard to avoid them all in tight spaces. However, there is enough of a difference in our status that I don\u2019t really care if I get hit by them to begin with…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaria, take care of the ones that miss me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t like to have stray bullets flying off randomly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The moment I said that, Maria got in position to cut down all the water spheres that didn\u2019t hit me. And so…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Don! Don! Don!-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three water spheres hit me directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGYAGYAGYA!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNope, it didn\u2019t work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No damage at all. As expected, there is too much difference in our status. Other than that, I\u2019m only guessing, but the Sea Serpent probably said: \u201cHow did you not get hurt?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGYO!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sea Serpent had an astonished expression on its face. There was no reason to miss this opportunity, so I pulled on the rod even harder than before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGYOE!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that, the Sea Serpent completely lost its balance and crashed to the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow I can finally say \u2018I\u2019ve caught it\u2019. Plus…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you catch something, it\u2019s best to eat it while it\u2019s still fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I approached the fallen Sea Serpent. Still, it wasn\u2019t going to just let me eat it, so it got back up and tried to bite at me. Well, I might have called it \u2018fishing\u2019, but the Sea Serpent didn\u2019t care one way or the other, so of course it would try to attack me even after being caught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you think about it, what did I say to stop Maria from attacking it? I said: \u2018I\u2019m gonna catch it myself\u2019, and the fishing part ended with me winning just now. In other words, there is no reason to abstain from fighting it head on any more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Gashi-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I grabbed the Sea Serpent by the head with my left hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGYUON?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sea Serpent got startled again. It tried to free its head by pulling and pushing its body, but I wouldn\u2019t budge. Instead, I used the composite skill \u2018Fear\u2019 on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Busha!-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being an aquatic monster, it seemed to have kept a large amount of water in its bladder. Now, isn\u2019t that incontinent? Even the momentum is unlike anything I\u2019d seen before. At some point the Sea Serpent started to convulse, and bubbles started to come out, so I turned off \u2018Fear\u2019 when it got that far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I already knew \u2018Fear\u2019 is pretty strong, especially since its power rises with my status. As a side note, I tried letting other people use it on me as an experiment before, but it had no effect at all. I thought is was due to the mental protection granted by my \u2018Avatar\u2019 special power, but, according to Alta:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: It would have been the same, with or without it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is what she said. I wonder just how thick my skin has become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I looked at the convulsing Sea Serpent. What should I do with this guy? I could just finish it off, or I could tame it, given how it\u2019s a rare species and all. …Let me think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat should we do with this monster, Jin-sama?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ll decide based on what it does once it wakes up. If it attacks, I\u2019ll kill it, and if it submits, I\u2019ll tame it instead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUnderstood.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaster, what are you doing~?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dora was coming our way. Apparently, she was asleep until now. When she woke up, I wasn\u2019t there, so she came looking for me. As a side note, she was sleeping while using Nosferatu [Wings of the Immortal] for support. No respect for Legendary items… (ED: Jin\u2019s \u2018Flying\u2019-enchanted cloak. I\u2019m guessing she used it as a levitating hammock)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHmm? I\u2019ve caught this guy, and I was just about to decide whether I should tame it, or turn it into kabayaki.\u201d (ED: Grilled eel)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYum, kabayaki~!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSorry, it\u2019s not a majority vote. It depends on whether it behaves once it wakes up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA shame…\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dora looked a little sad. It made me think that just going with kabayaki would also be fine, but I don\u2019t like going back on decisions I\u2019ve already made, so… Sorry, Dora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a while, the Sea Serpent finally woke up. Well, technically, it\u2018s still pretending to be asleep… Maybe it thinks that if it plays dead, we\u2019ll leave it alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI give life for obedience and death for hostility.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I confronted it with this one sentence. It doesn\u2019t matter if you understand me or not. I\u2019m just telling you that I\u2019m onto you. The Sea Serpent shuddered, got up and began to rub its head on the ground. No matter how you look at it, it has no will to fight any more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDora\u2019s kabayaki…\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dora mumbled sadly as she realised that the kabayaki wasn\u2019t gonna happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGYAU!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sea Serpent looked around nervously. Dora speaks via telepathy, so it couldn\u2019t have heard her, but it looks like it still got the chills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story couldn\u2019t progress like this, so I used the \u2018Monster Taming\u2019 skill on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

> Sea Serpent has been tamed.<\/strong>
> Please give it a name.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naturally, the Sea Serpent agreed to be tamed without resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, before I decide on a name, let\u2019s take a look at its status. Since it wasn\u2019t that important for fishing, I only took a peek at its basic description before, but now that it\u2019s become a subordinate of mine, I\u2019m curious about the details. Well, I\u2019m sure there\u2019s nothing harmful in there, since Alta would have warned me otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, it\u2019s a she? And she\u2019s quite old at that. Just what you\u2019d expect of a Guardian Spirit (placeholder name).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, I\u2019ve been wondering for a while now, but what\u2019s this \u2018Transformation\u2019 skill all about?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: It\u2019s a skill that allows one to change into other forms. It\u2019s similar to Dora\u2019s ability to switch between her human and dragon form.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two questions: First, why does Dora not have this skill? Second, how is it different from Tamo-san\u2019s \u2018Mimic\u2019 skill?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: The answer to the first question is unknown. So far, the only known monster species that can take a human form without the \u2018Transformation\u2019 skill is the Dragon Newt.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If anything, doesn\u2019t that make Dragon Newts even more special?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: The answer to the second question is: whether or not it\u2019s their own form. \u2018Mimic\u2019 is a skill for imitating others, while \u2018Transformation\u2019 allows one to change form, but only into another form of theirs.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does that mean that after releasing \u2018Transformation\u2019 one returns to their original form? It does seem quite similar to how Dora\u2019s transformation works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHey, what can you change into?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the time being, I decided to ask her via telepathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGYAU?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sea Serpent looked around in surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTry to speak to me in your head.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I said that, the Sea Serpent stopped moving and closed her eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAh, uh, uh, can you hear me?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, I can hear you. It\u2019s the Sea Serpent, right?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, sir.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She has a strange way of speaking, but her voice is clear and beautiful. I guess she has that in common with another subordinate of mine, Fiyu, who\u2019s a musician in Estia. (ED: She adds ~ssu at the end of her lines, which is supposed to make her sound submissive, so I went with \u2018sir\u2019)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou understand that you\u2019ve been tamed by me, right?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUuu… Yes, sir.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sea Serpent shrank its body a bit. …It\u2019s actually kind of cute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know that you can change your form.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c!?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ll ask you one more time. What can you change into?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There won\u2019t be a third time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, sir. I can become a snake, a serpent, a mermaid, and a human, sir.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a surprisingly large variety. I\u2019ve already expected this, since we had just talked about Dora\u2019s transformation ability, but it looks like she can become a human too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCan you speak, while in your human form?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, I can speak, sir.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen, take your human form.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUnderstood, sir.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After she said so, the Sea Serpent\u2019s body shone just like Dora\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What appeared next was a woman with crystal-clear blue hair stretching all the way down to the ground. She looks to be about 20 years old, is quite beautiful, and completely naked… Well, if your transformation works the same way as Dora\u2019s, you\u2019ll be naked right after you change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPhew, it\u2019s been a long time since I\u2019ve last seen myself like this. Maybe a hundred years?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her voice and tone are the same as when she used telepathy. Still, let\u2019s put that aside for now, since her unfortunate smell is ruining the whole thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I was thinking about such insignificant things, I got a report from Alta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: Master, the dinosaur egg is about to hatch.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat? Seriously!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u2018dinosaur egg\u2019 Alta was referring to, was an egg that dropped after I defeated the Tyrannosaurus back in Kastal. It was an egg, but it could be tamed, so I did, and it\u2019s been sitting in the Inventory ever since. The reason why we took seven days off in this city to begin with, was actually because Alta estimated that the egg would hatch within this time. That\u2019s why we were lazing about on the first and second day. Still, right when I was suddenly in the middle of something, the egg hatched at that very moment. Talk about bad timing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had no choice but to take it out of the Inventory. It was about 30 centimetres long when I first got it, but now it\u2019s about a metre long. I might be wrong on this one, but I don\u2019t think eggs usually grow after being laid…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat!? What\u2019s happening!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sea Serpent girl got confused, but I ignored her for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The egg cracked with a popping sound. Just for fun, I didn\u2019t check its status until now. It\u2019s a random drop, so cheating would take all the fun out of it. As a side note, Alta checked the status as per usual. Well, Alta\u2019s job is to cheat, so it can\u2019t be helped, now can it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: If there are any problems, I\u2019ll inform you in advance, Master.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve established a system where Alta doesn\u2019t report if there\u2019s nothing that could potentially harm me, so now I can watch the hatching with peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The egg cracked open, and out of it came…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMagical dinosaur girl [Seriously into hunting dinosaur girl] here\u2606 Looking for a cute name\u266a Nice to meet you, Master\u266a\u201d (ED: Because she\u2019s an apex predator, get it?)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a naked little girl with pink hair. She looks about the same age as Mio, maybe a little older (estimated at 9 years old), and is currently striking a pose, by placing her left hand on her hip, and bringing her right hand up to her eyes in a peace sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re not a dinosaur! And what\u2019s with that pose!? Is that pink hair some kind of anime thing!? How can you talk when you\u2019ve just been born!? And what\u2019s wrong with your speech!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A slew of angry retorts flew through my head. Anyway, for now, let\u2019s just check her status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name: \u2013<\/strong>
Gender: Female<\/strong>
Age: 0 years old<\/strong>
Race: Tyrannosaurus (Reincarnated)<\/strong>
Skills: <Body Strengthening LV6> <Bite LV4> <Tyrant LV-> <Transformation LV5><\/strong>
Titles: Jin\u2019s Monster Follower<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

More things to poke at. You don\u2019t look like a 0-year-old! You\u2019re a reincarnated person!? You have the \u2018Tyrant\u2019 skill!? And you were born with the \u2018Transformation\u2019 skill!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUm, what\u2019s going on, sir? Who is this girl?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sea Serpent girl pointed to the dinosaur girl. Now, isn\u2019t this a funny coincidence? I would also like to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m a monster girl born from a dinosaur egg\u266a\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the dinosaur girl herself who answered, while pointing at herself with her right hand, with just the index finger and the thumb extended. I wondered if she\u2019ll do a different pose each time. Anyhow, before I knew it, the percentage of completely naked girls in our group became disturbingly high (50%). Still, perhaps because they were both monster girls, neither of them seemed particularly shy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPut some clothes on for now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHere, Jin-sama.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh? Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maria handed me some clothes. Apparently, she had them prepared in advance, considering the situation. She is one thoughtful subordinate. I passed the clothes to the naked girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUnderstood, sir.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRodger\u2606 Oh, if you have any ribbons, please give me two\u266a\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRibbons. Coming up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took out two red ribbons from Inventory and handed them to the dinosaur girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWow~\u2606 Thanksies~\u2661\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two of them put on their clothes as instructed. The Sea Serpent girl aside, I\u2019m sure it\u2019s because she\u2019s a reincarnated person, that the dinosaur girl could put on her clothes by herself, even though she\u2019d just been born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll dressed up\u266a\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m dressed, sir.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two of them are both wearing a one-piece dress that\u2019s easy to put on through the head. There are no panties or bras, but it\u2019s better than nothing. By the way, the dinosaur girl tied her hair up with the ribbons, twin-tails style. She now looks even more like an anime character. Well, she looks like a little girl, so I guess it\u2019s fine…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll right, that\u2019s one problem taken care of. For now, the Sea Serpent girl will have to wait. Who are you, dinosaur girl?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been put on hold…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sea Serpent girl became dejected, but I ignored her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAbout that, please give me a name, Daddy\u266a\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m not your father though…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re the first person I saw after being born\u2606\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIs it imprinting?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t understand the biology of little dinosaur girls. As for her name, I\u2019ve been putting it off all this time, since it was pointless to name her while she was still an egg, but, now that she\u2019s been hatched, I should probably give her one, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

> Name her \u2018Tamako\u2019<\/strong>
> Name her \u2018Tirako\u2019<\/strong>
> Name her \u2018Tiramisu\u2019<\/strong>
> Name her \u2018Yukari\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, there are more choices than usual. And \u2018Yukari\u2019 (my childhood crush) is still there. It feels like a pun, but I think the best one is \u2018Tiramisu\u2019… It kind of sounds like a female version of \u2018Tyrannosaurus\u2019… (TL: Um, it\u2019s the name of a cake…)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen, your name is now \u2018Tiramisu\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI like that it\u2019s a name of a dessert, but I wonder if it\u2019s meant to be a pun\u2606\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you get it, then please don\u2019t point it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAh, I would also like to receive a name, sir…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sea Serpent girl timidly raised her hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t you have a name already? I\u2019m fine with leaving it as is…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It wouldn\u2019t be surprising if she had one already, given that she\u2019s intelligent enough to speak, and has lived for a long time. In Dora\u2019s case, I gave her a name before even asking if she had one already (I don\u2019t regret it), but I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any need to rename her. …Plus, I\u2019m pretty bad at coming up with names, so I\u2019d prefer to avoid giving her a weird one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019d lived for a long time, so I do have several, but now that I\u2019ve been tamed, I suddenly have an urge to have my new master name me, sir.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIs that how it works?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat seems to be the case, sir.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems I can\u2019t really avoid it. Also, Maria is making a strange face beside me. What\u2019s going on?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: She had said before that she was reborn when she became your slave. She likely regrets not asking to be given a new name as well.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maria\u2019s love (and faith) can be pretty heavy…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…For now, let\u2019s come up with a name for the Sea Serpent girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

> Name her \u2018Nyoroko\u2019<\/strong>
> Name her \u2018Penko\u2019<\/strong>
> Name her \u2018Marine\u2019<\/strong>
> Name her \u2018Yukari\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is hopeless! Why do the first two sound so childish…? I think the best one is \u2018Marine\u2019, …but it\u2019s too similar to \u2018Maria\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s go for a re-roll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

> Name her \u2018Maple\u2019<\/strong>
> Name her \u2018Sirko\u2019<\/strong>
> Name her \u2018Aqua\u2019<\/strong>
> Name her \u2018Yukari\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Aqua\u2019 is because she\u2019s a sea monster, right? \u2018Maple\u2019 is …similar to \u2018Tiramisu\u2019? I\u2019m not really a fan, but…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour name is now \u2018Maple\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThank you! \u2018Maple\u2019. I like it, sir.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo jealous…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sea Serpent girl, Maple, seemed really happy to have been given a name. Come to think of it, maybe monsters don\u2019t have a good naming sense either. I\u2019m also a little worried about Maria. Please don\u2019t be jealous of your juniors…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a match with \u2018Tiramisu\u2019\u2606 We\u2019ll make a great duo\u266a\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, they both became my subordinates at roughly the same time, so I think it\u2019s just right to treat them as a duo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Author\u2019s Notes: The main heroine of this arc is here. Since, the dinosaur egg appeared in Chapter 29, that means it didn\u2019t hatch for over 30 chapters. I didn\u2019t forget about it, but there wasn\u2019t really any time for it to hatch during the Estia\u2019s Dungeon arc…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think of Tiramisu\u2019s as a sweet anime girl\u2019s voice. That\u2019s why there are, \u266a, \u2606 and \u2661 added to the end of her lines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
