Chapter 43 (2/2)

”Who's as thin as a bean sprout……”

As one would expect, it was inexcusable. However, inside of the pupils of her purple eyes there were swaying flames, reminiscent of a demon’s eyes, glaring at her suspiciously.

And the place she was staring at were her huge b.r.e.a.s.t.s, so swollen that they couldn't be grabbed with a single pair of hands.

”Tch……”

Furthermore, the impression they gave was that her muscularity was particularly bad, but that wasn't truly the case for her inner muscular system. If you were to compare it to the physique of an animal, it'd be close to that of a leopard.

”……I'm not a bean sprout. I'm average sized .”

”Haha, the grumblings of a loser. It's nice to hear.”

After a brief observation,  Ludmilla replied with her best reb.u.t.tal.

However, Casca found herself carrying a self-triumphant look directed at her, and her stress reached its climax.

Honestly, she wanted to knock her out with one shot if she could. But it was clear as day that she could withstand such a blow that would've normally left someone half dead. By all means, her strength was really unreasonable. Now that she acted as she pleased, only someone who equaled or trumped her could oppose her.

”I want that power…….”

”Ahaha…… Ca.s.sie, you shouldn't tease Ludmilla too much.”

”Aah? I didn't particularly tease her. It would be a big deal if you let me tease you, hey.”

For Casca, it was mild expression even if it was aggravating to others, as any abusive phrase was colloquial for her. However, when she was on the receiving end, she would imprudently make her opponent half dead just because of a trivial slip of the tongue; an unreasonable queen indeed.

”You don't have to worry about what Casca says, Ludmilla. She was just saying whatever  was on her mind.”

Lady changed into her human form and advised Ludmilla, whose frustration was acc.u.mulating. Black hair, golden eyes, except for her suit, which was white, she and Richelieu, the leader of Black Maria, looked as alike as two identical melons; she had mimicked her appearance. If one had not known that she was originally an evil beast, they'd think that she was related to Richelieu.

By the way, Lady carefully ate grilled fish and Miso soup with her chopsticks. Dark Wolf, a high ranking evil beast which can manipulate black magic, in other words, she's a wolf, but, unprecedentedly, her favorite food is actually fish.

”Besides, Ca.s.sy's not in a bad mood, so forgive her. Yes Ca.s.sy, have another serving.”

”Ou!”

He leaned over and tilted the bowl, and Casca went back to eating Pizza Rice again. Half of Black Maria's 3rd squad's food supply was consumed because of her. Anyone who watched this spectacle would be thoroughly convinced of that idea.

”……Ahh”

And at such a sight, s.h.i.+zuru sat next to the figure of Mary who was happily eating Omurice.

The fluffy eggs were delicious. The contents of the chicken and rice were delicious, too. It was dream like.

”Is it delicious, Mary?”

”Yeahhh”

With a smile that corresponded with her age directed at him, naturally, a broad smile came to his face.

With a napkin, he wiped the ketchup off her mouth.

”Mother, will you teach me how to write today?”

”Hmm?”

While s.h.i.+zuru was thinking of going to fetch some pudding for dessert,

Mary fixated her gaze up at him and asked him such a thing…

”Yeah… Let's study after we clear out our dishes.”

”Yes! I'll help tidy up!”

――What a good girl you are.

For someone as inhuman as myself, I truly don't deserve a daughter.

While thinking such of Mary's adorable smile,

s.h.i.+zuru felt the proudness deep from within his chest, and he gently stroked her head.

Because the use of system is pretty vague, I just went off the basis that the author has created another body system like the respiratory or digestive system.
