Chapter 18 Intermission Kuromueina ~ The Kind Monster Born from Nothingness ~ (2/2)
[……Oh?]
Kuromueina, who was leisurely strolling through the city with a smile on her face, stopped in her tracks. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a large fountain and the figure of a young man standing in front of it.

Black with light brown hair, a face that isn’t particularly beautiful nor ugly, a body that is somewhat lean but not unhealthy, and an average height of about 170 cm. For better or worse, mediocre was the word that applied to him, but Kuromueina muttered as she looked at the young man.
[……It’s a baby bird……]
The expression on her face as she mumbled so is like a child who has found her favorite toy, and also like a mother looking at her beloved child.
—-A baby bird. Kuromueina can sometimes describe others as such. However, it’s not meant to describe someone as an idiot, rather, she meant well when she said that phrase.
The eyes of the young man looking anxiously at his surroundings, the subtleties of emotions behind his eyes…… It was the same expression “her former self who had nothing” had and that’s what she liked best.
That’s why Kuromueina stepped forward towards the youth without the slightest hesitation. Canceling off the Recognition Inhibition Spell on the young man, she also removed the effect of the Infomation Concealment Magic from affecting the young man……
[What’s wrong? You look like you’re in some kind of trouble?]
She called out to the young man with a big smile on her face, as if she was truly enjoying the encounter she had with “someone who looks a lot like her old self” that she hadn’t come across for a while.
As she stroked the head of the young man—- Kaito’s head sleeping in her lap in a heartfelt affectionate way, Kuromueina gently smiled.
An innocent and lovable baby bird that still knows nothing, the existence that she most favors right now.

[Little by little, it’s changing……]
Words she gently muttered.
She’s empty, and yet she loves more than anything else to have someone who wants something in his heart…… a baby bird who fumbles around in search of wings and wishes to fly, even if he doesn’t know how to get them.
[Kaito-kun…… One day, when your wings are fully grown and you’re ready to take to the skies, I wonder what kind of beautiful wings you’re going to show me? I’m really looking forward to it.]
To her, a baby bird is a being with “infinite possibilities”. Searching for something with their empty heart, and before long, when they find it, it would turn into their wings and help them fly away into the sky.
Most of all, she loves to see it happen up close and personal.
Gently moving her gaze, she could see many of those who were once baby birds.
The high ranking demon who was named after the beginning, and the one who wanted to stay by her side longer than anyone else.
The lich who has gained a lot of knowledge and is active in a wide range of fields.
The fairy who loves nature and flew around innocently, away from the place she used to live in.

The ogre valiantly laughing as he came to terms with his days being different from his kind.
The human who got the answers she’s looking for and became a demon.
They are all different, but all of them have beautiful wings, and they fly around in the sky of this endless world together with her family that she can’t help but love.
There’s one high ranking demon called Kuromueina—- an oddball who has great power and deep, warm kindness, and she who continues to love this ever-changing world full of impurities and uncertainty.
Looking at the lovely world today, as if to bless the people who live in it, as if to thank the impurities that continue to fill her that were born from nothingness—- an affectionate smile appeared on her face.
