New Empire, Taira Clan MansionA man with silky blonde hair and a robust physique covered up by loose robes sat on a lap, being fanned by women all in night gowns. There were easily over ten women surrounding him, attending to him in some way. Some fed him the grapes he loved more than anything, some were giving him massages all around, others played harps in perfect harmony, some danced around for his pleasure and one of them just kept on whispering into his ears. However there was one woman who sat at the far end, looking at the man with a bored expression.The woman… teenager wore a very soft linen cloth, and was covered in all sorts of jewelries around her neck and with a tiny tiara on her head."Don't you ever get bored of this, father?"The silver haired girl asked with a bored glare."Bored of what?"He asked right before taking a grape from one of the women."Making me sit here and watching you play around with your concubines?""Eh? T-this is father-daughter bonding time.""M

I ran away from the room and ended up teleporting into the bee hive. When I got there, I got a nasty reminder why I didn't like that place. Stupid spiders threw their mana threads at me. They got blocked by the fire shields I constantly had up, then I stepped in some random acid. It was a horrible experience I didn't want to go through again. But I had caused enough disturbance in the bee hive to grab the spider's attention."Oi! Chicken! Some of us are very busy most of the time, you know?"I heard Yokino scream from behind me. I turned around to see her in a different Yukata other than the one she made earlier on. And her hair had started to turn blue, her skin was a bit paler than before. She had tied her hair into one bun and chocked it with… an ant leg? Her spider legs looked smaller, but were slumped and she all round looked drained.'I see you are still as grumpy as ever.’“Grumpy? Me? Never."I looked at her and she seemed tuckered out. She even had eye bags under all eight ey

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, dear lord. Funniest shit ever. When the sudden realization that given a month or two this little bastard will be strong enough to raze a village with ease and be your master in a Soul Bond hits you, it’ll definitely be priceless. I bet I’m laughing my ass off in my current life, you retard.”I was really not liking this guy. If I met him, we’d have a little chat about pranking people.“Anyway, I managed to acquire this egg to protect Larm in case Goliath failed to do so. So, you, the one who has acquired it, quite literally hold the strongest war potential in the history of this world. A beast that would definitely cause nations to stay in check. You should have seen the images now. Visions of its mother and what she did to this world just when the residents were beginning to grow. I believe she may have set civilization back by over a millennium or so, but I lack any evidence of this yet. Anyway, I hope you treat it well and whatever you do, just make sure you do

Day 36‘Sylvie, you ready?’"Of course! Let's go!"‘Road trip! Road trip!’The bratty Amethyst shouted in my head. I just looked at her and sighed."Ahem!""Eh?"I turned back and I saw a tall rat that was skinny with shadowy fur and demon-like red eyes.‘Rat dude?’"Lady Hinotori. I am glad that you could tell what I looked like, but I am also angry that you didn't look for me all this while."'Oi! That's a very questionable attitude right there. Don't act like you're my girlfriend! Do you wanna come with us?’"Sadly, I can't. We are still digging tunnels in the forest in an attempt to have access to all parts in the forest. We should have a smooth way to the south. Would you want to use that?"‘Naa, I want to explore instead. Although the sun sort of hurts now.'I thought to myself as I rested on the Shiroi’s back. For some weird reason, ever since my time in the dungeon the sunlight actually made me weaker. It was quite a pain in the ass having 50% of my stats nullified during the

Day 37I made us start the day as early as dawn when the sun was barely out. Amethyst wanted to complain, but I wouldn't let her. Shiroi just went on full throttle, tearing up the ground. She had no problem with this seeing as she herself didn’t really enjoy the day time either. Sylv didn’t care either way and just wanted to abuse my poor soul.There was nothing much to talk about so I tested out the skill [Multiple Minds] which I acquired from eating the chimera.'Oi, oi, oi! Where the hell am I!?'I heard another voice, like mine in my head, making me realise that I had developed another consciousness.'I see. So you are another me.''What? Who are you?''I am you and you are me.''That's bullshit. Are you stupid?''Don't go insulting me! We are both the same person.''I don't know about you, but I know I am definitely not you.''Ok. Then who are you?''That's what I'm trying to figure out rig- ou a cutie. Who is that?''Who?''The busty loli.''Sylvie?''Yeah, yeah. Tell her I said
