Present time
I read the file that Null give towards me and ask
"The boy that they saved, is an other worlder?"
"Yes, Akemi Sama. He was summoned a few weeks ago but was deemed useless so they throw him in there"
"Hmmm. And what's this strange looking weapon you mentioned here?"
"It's long stick with a hole in it and shoots projectile"
[A rifle?]
That was unexpected
Null then continue
"However, there was no trace of magicules so I couldn't know how the weapon works"
"It's okay, Null. I will look into it"
Null bow his head and I look at Nolla and ask
"Your report?"
"There's nothing worth to be reported, Akemi Sama"
I shake my head and reply
"No, Nolla. Everything needs to be reported even the slightest movement. That's the difference between victory and defeat"
"Sorry, Akemi Sama"
"Never repeat it again, Nolla"
"Yes, Akemi Sama"
I pat her head and was about to leave when Null said
"Akemi Sama"
"What is it, Null?"
"Have you considered our request?"
[Looks like they really want it]
I let out a sigh and said
"Alright then. We start with Nolla"
"Eh?! Me?"
"Yes, Nolla. Say it or I will change my mind"
Nolla then gather her courage before looking towards me with a puppy eye and said
"M-mother"
Aaaaahhhh!!! Cute!
[(づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ]
I then hug Nolla and said
"Yes yes. From now on, you are my daughter"
Nolla was very happy and hug me back. I look towards Null and he said
"Mother!"
Before leap towards me and hug me
"While you Null, are my son"
Both of them look at me and said
"Thanks, mother"
[Now, let me explain why master become their mother]
Mother figure to be exact
Since Null and Nolla doesn't want to meet with the others due to personal reasons, they lived in my shadow. When everyone else is asleep, it's their time to get out from my shadow and start their training and to my surprised, they learn much faster then the others
But every time I told them to interact with the others, they rejected it and ask their existence remain a secret so they can support me from the shadows
Which turn them into a secret squad in my pack
And because they lived in my shadow, they grow passionate towards me and requested to be my children
When I asked why, they replied they need someone to replace their dead parents so they wouldn't be lonely
Which took me a very long time too think until I finally agree
After a while, they release their hug and said
"We swear with our body and soul to serve mother to the end"
I smile and reply
"Thanks, my child. Now get back in my shadow before anyone notice"
Both of them kneel down before jumping into my shadow
[So how's the feeling having children?]
Undescribable but I'm happy with it
Next day
I meet up with my pack which they established a camp not to far from monster city and Zwei greet my arrival
"Nice to see you back, Akemi Sama"
"Nice to see you too, Zwei. How's the operation?"
"Smoothly, Akemi Sama. We managed to save 32 of our own plus a boy"
"Why do you bring the boy?"
"He said he was a victim so we saved him"
"Can he be trusted?"
"Considering he is still a boy, I doubt he will turn back against us"
I noded before taking a seat beside the campfire and said
"Bring him to me"
"As you wish, Akemi Sama"
While Zwei leave me, Yksi approach me with a bowl and said
"You must be hungry, Akemi Sama. Here's some food"
"Thanks, Yksi"
Yksi bow a bit before leaving me enjoying my food. Quite good. Not gonna lie. This furr balls already good at cooking
Shortly after finishing my meal, Zwei arrive with the boy and said
"Akemi Sama. Here's the boy"
"Thanks, Zwei. Now boy, have a seat"
The boy take a seat in front of me while Zwei stand behind me. I look at the boy and ask
"Now, care to tell me your name?"
"Ah, sure. My name is Felix"
"Alright, Felix. Where are you from?"
"N-not from this world"
"So, you were summoned?"
"Y-yes"
"Why you were summoned?"
"T-they, those nobels are looking for a hero candidate but, they say I was useless. So, t-they throw me in prison"
I then pat Felix head and said
"Calm down. No need to be afraid"
Felix took a few deep breath and I ask
"Good?"
"Yeah. Thanks"
"Nice. Now let's continue. What do you want to do after this?"
Felix remain quite for some moments before asking
"Can I, follow you guys?"
"Follow us? Do you know that we are not humans?"
"Yes. I noticed those wolf ears"
"Then, why you want to follow us? We can just sent you to any human city so you can have a normal life"
"Those humans, can't be trusted"
I look directly in Felix eyes and ask
"What do you mean by that?"
"Every human I encounter and ask for help, treat me badly and even if they help me, I will shortly betrayed"
I nodded and ask
"May I know, what's the benefit we bought you back with us?"
"I will gave my knowledge about weapon from my world"
[He took the bait]
Yeah. I know
[Ask him]
I know my role. Don't disturb me you stupid skill
[What?! You call me what?!]
Nothing
I ignore Miria and focus my attention towards Felix and ask
"What kind of weapon?"
"It's a weapon that we called as firearms"
