Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children While Being an Adventurer~ Idle Talk 16

Idle Talk 16

Kaiser's Turning Point

I am Leviathan, the ruler of the seas. I am also a servant of the Water God.

I spend my ti drifting in the seas and doing as I please.

One day, I received a call from one of my compatriots.

(Can you hear ?)

(Umu, I hear you. This voice, is this Chief-dono?)

The one who contacted was Chief-dono, a retainer of Water God-sama like , and the leader of several retainers.

(I need you to protect human children.)

Human children? ?

(Protection? Who are these children?)

(They are the children of Water God-sama.)

(What! Water God-samas children!)

I was surprised that Water God-sama had children. I had never heard of such a story before.

N? Wait a minute, by protection, she ans?

Chief-dono had indeed ant that. Does that an his children are on the surface world?

(Why are his children on the surface world?)

(They are children born of a human.)

(!?)

My goodness! Children born of a human!!

(They have properly inherited Water God-samas powers.)

(Then, why wouldnt Water God-sama take them in himself?)

(Unfortunately, Water God-sama is currently absent)

Absent

I hate to say it, but Water God-sama is fond of won. I am sure that even now, he is out hanging with them.

(As you know, its impossible for to drag him out. However, the current living situation of the children is not very good. That is why I want to do sothing about it as quickly as possible.)

Indeed, it might be dangerous to leave the children of a God in the world of people. However

( Do I simply take them away?)

(If possible, I would like you to raise them, too.)

I have no children of my own, so I don't know anything about raising children. That is mainly because my race doesnt raise our children. The children grow up on their own.

(If you leave a human child unattended, they will die. They need to eat as well.)

Umu

(Ahh, food? I just have to feed them, I get it. There are nurous monsters around the seas, so I just have to get so for them, right?)

(Human children cannot eat monsters raw. Besides, they are still babies, so they cannot eat monsters to begin with.)

Then, just how do children like that eat? Isnt this impossible task for ? Wouldnt my care make their living situation even worse? It pains to say this, but I have no choice but to refuse.

One day, I suddenly felt a strange presence, so I decided to go to the source.

There, I found a retainer of the Wind God. Moreover, he was accompanied by the children of Water God-sama, whom Chief-dono had ntioned a short while ago.

It was good of to refuse to be their protector. An excellent choice.

(Its also by fate that we have t here. If you are in trouble, I will lend you my help.)

After a short conversation, it seed that the one who belonged to the Wind was still young, so I decided to help him if he was in trouble, and we decided to sign a temporary contract.

I have never signed a contract before, not even a temporary one, but it will be a good experience.

That reminds , I wonder how Takumi and those children are doing?

Suddenly I rembered Takumi, Wind God-samas retainer that I contracted with a while ago.

I haven't heard from him since I told him via Telepathy that I was leaving the vicinity of the sea. I began to wonder if he was well and for so reason I beca restless.

I imdiately tried to trace the magic power that resided in the scales I had given to Takumi. Unfortunately, it was not by the sea. I thought I would never see him again, but then I rembered a certain skill.

(Muh?)

Recalling that I acquired a skill called Humanification, I gave it a try imdiately, but it was quite difficult to use.

Have I succeeded? Muh?

I succeeded in humanizing! I thought, but within a few minutes, I reverted to my original form.

I thought I could go see him once he was in human form, but it didnt seem to be that easy.

I was thinking of inviting Takumi to co here, but the reverse summoning can only be done by a contractor, so I would have to separate him from the children. I don't like the idea of separating Takumi from the children, so I'm going to give up that idea for now.

Have I gotten used to it a little better?

For a while, I kept on intensively using the Humanization skill to increase my proficiency.

At first, I thought about giving up Humanization early and contacting Takumi via Telepathy, but then I thought it would be more fun to master Humanization, go see Takumi without telling him, and surprise him.

Great, now it should be all right to go see him.

It had been a long ti since I had practiced like that, but with a goal in mind, I really enjoyed the practicing, and after a while, I was able to Humanize myself for a few days without fail. There shouldnt be a problem eting Takumi now.

Muh? But first, I have to get so clothes sowhere.

However, before going to et him, I need to complete so preparations first. Human beings are not supposed to go out naked!

Well, what should I do? I might be able to talk to the rmaids of the Blue Waters Palace, who are related to Takumi and the kids, so I'll go there first.

It suits you well.

Umu, thanks for the help. I can finally go see Takumi.

I paid a visit to the Blue Waters Palace right away.

The people of the palace were surprised to see in my original form at first, but when I told them that I was an acquaintance of Takumi's, they seed convinced. And since rmaid clothes would be conspicuous in a city of humans, they have ingeniously dressed in human-style clothing.

With this, I was ready to go.

I am so jealous of you~ I also want to see Takumi-sama again. When you see him, please tell him to co visit us as well.

Umu, I will convey him your words.

The rmaids only interact with a limited number of humans. And they dont try to get involved much, even with those few.

However, Takumi is different. Even I can tell that they like him here. I am the sa, I bet Takumi has that sothing that attracts others to him.

Im much obliged. I will bring you sothing to express my gratitude next ti.

Please dont mind it.

I cannot do that. Let co up with sothing.

We were able to make a connection thanks to Takumi, and I may be in their care again, after all. I shall make sure to take care of the people here from now on.
