Shadow Ruler Chapter 4 Part 5 (Patreon)

"You mean about the change between the two of you?"

"Oh, we've been out of the realm of magical animals for some time now, haven't we? I was just wondering where the boundary was."

"I see. I was told by the gatekeeper that you two have already signed a contract, right?"

"Eh?"

"Nyau?"

"Heh?" "It was not?"

"I don't even know how to sign a contract."

"I see. I'll tell you in a nutshell, you must have a strong bond with each other and be in contact with the blood of the Lord, right? Finally, the Lord gives you a name and you're done."

"Eh? Oh, hey, maybe."

"Nyau" Translation: probably at that time

"I know... it's the only way..."

"You know anything about that?"

"Well, I won't bore you with the details, but when I was treating Freesia's injuries, I couldn't help but think..."

"I see, and as you two were raising your child, you formed a bond and made a contract."

"Of course. We're your parents."

"I see. Then, I am sorry. I'm sorry, but could you please show me your status information? I really need it for registration purposes.

"I know. I know, I said so when I first came to this room. And I know Alice-san isn't lying, and I trust her."

"Thank you."

After being told... How do you show them?

"If you wish hard enough for Freesia to see it, it will be fine."

I did as I was told and wished strongly.

The reason why you have to be strong is so that people don't think you're being light-hearted and force them to look at the information.

And.

"Yes. I got confirmation: ...... This is another unusual magic you have - and your mother did -"

"It's a lot of things."

"I see. But I guess she must have felt strongly enough to show up at the blessing. She seems to be a very wonderful person."

"He really was an amazing man. And is Freesia's magic still rare? I don't know much about the human condition in that area, so tell me."

"Yes, that's right. So, as a brief preliminary information, you know that fire, water, earth, wind, and lightning are the most common and basic attributes, right?"

"Ah."

"Nyau."

(Nod Nod)

"And then there are those cases where you have more than one of those basic attributes, but not enough to display them all in the status... In those rare cases, there are exceptions where they are displayed as different attributes. Examples from the past include tree, nothing, enhanced, and corrupt. Then, when the basic attributes are changed, there are many types again depending on what they were trained for and their strong feelings. And then there are the famous ones other than the basic attributes I mentioned earlier."

"Light and dark?"

"Yes, Freesia-san is apparently a derivative of the dark attribute - so to speak, it has somehow changed to a higher type. So, to explain dark magic in detail, dark magic is essentially an attribute that specializes in mental attacks. It is said that it is sometimes able to handle poison if it is parallel to the basic attribute. Freesia-san's magic seems to have abandoned the mental attack aspect of dark magic, and has somehow sublimated into a specialized magic to manipulate shadows.

There is a popular belief that magic is easily influenced by blood relatives, but it can change into different forms depending on blessings and the environment in which one was born and raised, or it can inherit the attributes that one's ancestors had."

"I see... Thank you."

"No, but this information should not be shown to others, of course. Fortunately, it seems that some of the blessings have the highest level of voyeur protection. You are very considerate of your daughter in every way, aren't you?"

"Oh, she was a very nice person. He was kind to me and Shasty when we were just normal animals, and he even read books to us."

"He's a really nice guy, isn't he? And I think it's time for us to leave. I'm sure your companion is waiting for you."

I was attacked by a pack of wolves and a pack of dogs on the road, and after they saved me, they liked Freesia, and here we are.

"It's rough, but I understand. I think it might be more correct to say that she missed you rather than liked you."

"Maybe that's right."

"Nyau, Nyau."

(Bow)

Bow your head in thanks.

"You are a good boy. I had a good time too. If you need anything, please visit Guild. I'm sure we can help you."

(Nod Nod)

"Your parents' education seems to be excellent."

(Nod Nod)

"Nyan!"

"Oh, you don't deny it, do you?"

"Petunia-san--Freesia's mother died just after giving birth, so it's no exaggeration to say that we raised her."

"Oh, I see. Please keep up the good work raising her. Father, mother."

"So, Noisy///"

"Nyau!" Translation: of course!

Carna is a male and Shasty is a female, so Carna is the father and Shasty is the mother.

I think it's a perfect fit.

"Also, I'm not too worried about Freesia-san's magic just being a rarity, but in the case of the two of you, I think it would be better to work with the fairy tribe as having evolved from animals, since they might be considered a mutant species of animals with magical powers. It may cause unnecessary commotion, and there is basically no way to tell that it is a phantom beast by looking at it. To some extent, though, I think that kind of atmosphere is obscured by the contract with Freesia-san."

"What do you mean?"

"Perhaps in the case of the two of you, the original form is the large form that changes according to [Guardian Mode]. However, due to the influence of your bond with Freesia-san, I think that your current appearance and the atmosphere you wear is your original form."

"So that's what you mean. I'm very grateful for that."

"That's right. Well, let's get going, shall we?"

And we left the private room and headed for Lily-san and the others.
