Seeing the creature in front of him give up, the corner of Ciel's lips twitched. After a long sigh, the young man finally sheathed back his katana.
Maybe he was born smart? That's why she's smart enough to leave the inner circle and lay eggs here?
“T-Master ..”
Shana ran towards Ciel in a hurry. Looking at his breath rising and falling, Ciel felt somewhat astonished.
“What's up?” Ciel tilted his head.
“He has given up. Please don't hurt him.”
“I know it.”
Ciel frowned. He felt that Shana was quite obsessed with the Abyssal Basilisk. The young man could not help but ask.
“Why did you forbid me to kill him? You've heard my explanation before, right? Abyssal Basilisk it's precious.”
“T-But .. Isn't the Abyssal Basilisk too cute to kill?” Shana tilted her head with an innocent look.
Hearing the woman who usually looks like a brave warrior instead looks innocent and cute, Ciel was stunned. Only, what astonished the young man was Shana's preference in describing cute things. He immediately turned his head towards the Abyssal Basilisk.
Large body .. black scales, sharp enough as well as dirty .. six feet with dagger-strong nails .. Not to mention the head, looks so ferocious with a mouth full of fangs as sharp as a knife. The water outside is very poisonous.
Ciel then looked at Shana in surprise.
“Creatures like this ... cute?”
“Isn't it cute?”
Shana asked back with a strange expression. His gaze seemed to question whether Ciel was normal or not, which made the young man speechless. The woman felt the furious gaze of the Abyssal Basilisk directed at her and scratched the back of her head with a embarrassed expression.
Clearly, the Abyssal Basilisk still holds a grudge against Shana for injuring her. Yes ... Although quite intelligent, the creature still does not know that Ciel told Shana to do it. In the end, the creature is angry at the innocent Shana.
Ignoring all of them, Ciel ended up making a master and servant contract with the Abyssal Basilisk. More precisely the pet contract like he did with Deschia before. Finished doing it all and convinced that the Abyssal Basilisk was already one of his loyal subordinates, Ciel nodded in satisfaction.
“Bring us to your nest.”
Hearing Ciel's orders, the Abyssal Basilisk turned towards its nest. Ciel and Shana followed behind. After entering in a cave that was more than a hundred meters deep with a slope of about twenty degrees, they finally reached him a quite spacious place.
Ciel stared at the muddy ground below him with an unhappy expression. It was just that, when he saw the nest of the Abyssal Basilisk that resembled a crocodile nest in his previous life, but was hidden in a cave, he felt somewhat excited.
Pretending to be indifferent from the outside, Ciel walked towards the nest. Seeing that the Abyssal Basilisk was looking at him uneasily, Ciel smiled.
“Quiet. I won't hurt your offspring.”
Understanding Ciel's words, the Abyssal Basilisk looked relieved. Ciel then approached the nest, after checking it out, he looked shocked as well as happy.
“There are three eggs!”
Looking at the three eggs that were slightly smaller than the volleyball, Ciel nodded in satisfaction. Unlike in the previous world where animals could have many eggs, in this world Demonic Beasts did not have such an advantage. On the contrary, the higher the level of Demonic Beasts, the fewer eggs or offspring produced.
Normally, the Abyssal Basilisk would have one or two eggs. After all, they were also still descendants of powerful and rare dragons. Looking at the three eggs in front of him, Ciel could imagine three gigantic Abyssal Basilisk that could possibly be considered a living tank.
Three tanks alive! Justjust wonderful.
Ciel once again nodded in satisfaction. He finally took out three warm fur robes then wrapped one by one the eggs carefully. Since the living thing could not be put into the dimensional bag or ring, the young man intended to carry it manually.
“Help me bring it, Shana.”
“Mari return.”
Ciel came out from the nest while holding two black parcels, behind which was Shana carrying a black parcel and also the Abyssal Basilisk following.
Seeing Ciel's appearance, the knights, Theo, Zenara, even Clark looked shocked and amazed. They had not expected, what was considered a problem and was extremely dangerous was actually solved by Ciel easily.
Not only is it easy, it can be said to be resolved without a meaningless fight. That ferocious and cruel-looking creature was completely submissive to him. It could already be a picture of how powerful Prince Luciel was.
Ciel's followers became even more excited, impatient with the future that had awaited them. Following such a large figure, it clearly made their future brighter than staying in their homes and farming like most people in the region.
“Let me take it, Mr.”
Theo approached Ciel excitedly. In response, Ciel smiled lightly. He then had Theo and Zenara each carry one egg. Of course, the young man warned them to be careful because what they were carrying was a precious egg.
After that, they finally returned to the Centaur tribe. After walking for some time, Ciel and the group finally arrived. In the tribe, Ciel who returned triumphantly had been greatly welcomed and respected. While Clark who had been willing to take them to a dangerous place was not even considered to exist.
Ciel glanced at the Dragonborn, seeing that he looked so used to it, he shook his head lightly. The young man wondered how Clark could continue to live in such an environment. In fact, many people always talk about his ugliness and do not appreciate his kindness, but he persisted.
Looking towards the chieftain's family along with Zod who greeted Clark, Ciel smiled gently. He finally realized why Clark had stayed in such an environment even though it felt so heavy.
“Because of family, huh?” mumbling Ciel.
Although not knowing whether there is hatred or not in the hearts of family members, still the family is the person closest to us. Even though we make problems, are considered useless, and so on. Parents may be disappointed, but they still become one of the closest supporters to us.
Ciel felt a pull on his shirt. Looking towards Theo who was pulling his clothes, he tilted his head.
“What's up, Theo?” ask Ciel.
“I don't know why you look sad, sir. But Theo is here if you want to tell the story,” Theo said carefully.
Ciel was surprised, but his gaze softened, a sincere smile on his face. A rarely seen warm smile on the handsome face of the figure nicknamed the Marquis of Blackfield.
“Who taught you to say that?” Ciel chuckles.
“Of course my mother, Mr.” Theo answered with certainty.
Shaking his head, Ciel immediately tried to forget those unnecessary memories. He felt a bit embarrassed to himself for making a child like Theo worry about him.
Because when it came to the tribe it was already afternoon, Ciel and the group finally decided to stay. They celebrate the night with a party. Most dishes are vegetarian. Ciel felt it wasn't bad, but what made it even more special was the drink Centaur made from some kind of strange fruit and honey. It really made Ciel feel quite satisfied.
The next day at the chief's house.
“So ... what do you want to talk about with our family, Prince Luciel?”
The chieftain who looked healthier looked at Ciel in surprise. It was unexpected that the young man wanted to meet him and discuss something before leaving.
Ciel saw the chieftain, the chief's wife, Zod, and Clark. His gaze stopped as he looked at Clark.
“Clark ... In addition to being underappreciated, in my opinion, your talent is in vain if you continue to hide in a place like this.
Come with me and be my follower! Other than becoming stronger, I believe the outside world will make you freer! Makes you understand more about the meaning of life!”
Clark who was originally daydreaming immediately looked at Ciel with a surprised expression. Truly the face of a dreamy lizard. Didn't expect ..someone would say that to him.
