Chapter 22

Episode 54: A Future Where Humans and Demons Coexist

After returning to the base from the dungeon, I took off all my gear and headed to the bath to wash away the dirt from my body.

Naturally, Mom joined me as well♪

「Even though I know you’re safe, I can’t help but worry about whether Celestia has any injuries」

「Haha, that tickles~ (laughs)」

As she spoke, Mom meticulously washed my entire body, checking for any abnormalities.

「It’s okay, Mom. I just immobilized the monsters with my magic, and then my familiar, Roha, finished them off. It’s a dungeon, so getting dirty with dust is unavoidable」

「The truth is, I don’t want Celestia to do anything dangerous… I wish you could live without getting involved in anything」

Mom is always worried about me taking risks and wishes I could live like an ordinary child.
But I’ve made up my mind since learning the truth, so I reassured her.

「I’m fine because I’ve accepted my truth. We have to do something about the Kingdom of Leone, or we’ll never be able to live in peace.」

「My little Celestia is more determined than I am. I’m sorry for being such a weak mother.」

「No, it’s enough for me that I have a mother who loves me so much. Besides, after we defeat the Kingdom of Leone, I have something I want to do.」

「What is it that you want to do?」

「I want to create a world where humans and demons can join hands, coexist, and not have to fight each other.」

「Yes, Celestia, I’m sure you can make that happen. I believe in you.」

By bonding with Roha, I’ve come to understand the demon race, and now I dream of realizing a future where humans and demons can coexist.

When I shared this with Mom, she gently said, 「You can make it happen」, making me believe that one day this dream might come true.

Episode 55: The Evolution of the Goblin

During the month following the familiar contract with Roha, I focused on leveling up while searching for monsters with magic cores inside the dungeon.
Despite spending so much time in the dungeon, I only encountered three more goblins with magic cores, but I was able to form a familiar contract with each one.

Typically, goblins are green, but for some reason, they turn red after forming a familiar contract with me.
After the contract, I gave each of them names: 【Vermeer】, 【Rote】, and 【Rouge】.

Thanks to Roha’s efforts, I started to understand the evolution process of the goblins.

【Goblin】lvl 1/15
   ↓
【Goblin Knight】 lvl 1/15
   ↓
【Goblin General】 lvl 1/25
   ↓
【Goblin King】 lvl 1/50

This is the evolution path of the goblins.
Currently, Roha has evolved into a Goblin King.

Up to this point, the use of the 【Fruit of Evolution】 hasn’t been necessary, so it might become usable when the Goblin King reaches the maximum level.

The evolution of goblins is a bit unique.
Roha and Rote are male individuals and fall under the warrior class, while Vermeer and Rouge are female individuals and belong to the magic class.

It seems that the class is determined by their gender.
This makes me curious if other monsters have a similar unique class system like the goblins.

Episode 56: Selen Turns Eight

Today is my birthday, and I’m turning eight.

Since Mom and the others are going to celebrate my birthday, I took a break from hunter activities.

Celebrating with everyone will probably make it a really fun day♪

Before the celebration with everyone, Mom and I decided to roll the special 8th-birthday gacha together.

『〘Daily Gacha〙8th birthday special: Guaranteed Rank S or above』

『Gacha…〘Demon Eye〙』

What a strange and eerie item.

I immediately appraised it.

〘Demon Eye〙
By housing the seven deadly sins of Gluttony, Lust, Greed, Wrath, Sloth, Pride, and Envy within the right eye, one can use the forbidden power to destroy the target through the demonic force of these sins.
Activating the 〘Demon Eye〙 allows one to wield immense power, but over time, it gradually consumes the user, leading them to eternal darkness.

Something… incredibly dangerous has appeared.
I quickly reported the 〘Demon Eye〙 to Mom, who, though surprised, told me what she knew about it.

「The 〘Demon Eye〙 is said to be the ultimate power opposite to the 〘Holy Eye〙. In the past, a hero who possessed the 〘Demon Eye〙 fell into darkness and became a Demon Lord. I don’t understand why Selen received the 〘Demon Eye〙 from the 〘Daily Gacha〙. But it’s probably best to avoid using that power as much as possible.」

「Yeah, I also feel that the 〘Demon Eye〙 is dangerous, so I’ll try not to use it. Just in case, I’ll have the 〘Parallel Thought Battler〙 investigate the 〘Demon Eye〙 and see what it finds.」

「Yes, that sounds like a good idea.」

Starting my birthday morning with the 〘Daily Gacha〙, I ended up drawing the 〘Demon Eye〙 and breaking out in a cold sweat.

Here’s what my status looks like now that I’ve turned eight.

【Name】Selen, Age 8
【Occupation】Arcane Knight
【Level】45
【Health】350
【Magic Power】3,850
【Defense】250
【Agility】380
【Intelligence】600
【Luck】110

〘Demon Eye〙
〘Daily Gacha〙〘Appraisal Eye〙
〘Parallel Thought Butler〙
〘Life Magic〙〘Presence Detection Lv10〙
〘Space Magic〙〘Barrier Magic〙
〘Future Sight〙〘Flight〙
〘Body Enhancement〙〘Shukuchi〙
〘Alchemy Lv7〙〘Enchantment Lv7〙
〘Water Magic Lv10〙〘Wind Magic Lv9〙
〘Fire Magic Lv8〙〘Earth Magic Lv10〙
〘Fan Technique Lv7〙〘Spear Technique Lv6〙
〘Sewing Lv10〙〘Cooking Lv10〙
〘Disguise〙〘Pharmacist〙
〘Familiar Contract Magic Lv3〙

My magic power has already surpassed that of Mystique-sensei.
Recently, I’ve been focusing not only on magic but also on martial arts, so I’ve upgraded from a Magic Warrior to an Arcane Knight.

From now on, I’ll continue working hard with Mom to defeat the Leone Kingdom and make our dream of a world where humans and demons can coexist a reality.

And as time passes, I will reach the age of ten.

On that day, I will be granted the power of the 〘Holy Eye〙.
