ㅤ
I, Kyrie・Inori, have resolved to become the king of Abyss Forest, the Holy Demon King.
Because the power of the once-in-this-world Holy Demon King Ellison-sama is dwindling, the forest’s blessings seem to be decreasing.
ㅤ
Without the forest’s blessings, they will seek food in human settlements, attacking humans and potentially being killed in return. . . . . .or so it seems.
I have resolved to wield the power of the god for the sake of the fragile monsters in the forest, but. . . . . .
ㅤ
『What’s this, what’s this! No one is gathering!』
ㅤ
Where we are is the place of Mr. Tree King.
There are only I, Kumakichi-kun, Mrs. Kumako, and Fenrir’s Mr. Chatura.
ㅤ
『Even though we were to hold the inauguration ceremony for the second Holy Demon King, no one was gathering!』
ㅤ
Mrs. Kumako is pouting in anger.
The silver-haired dog-eared beauty, Mr. Chatura, sighs.
ㅤ
“Probably, everyone is bewildered that a human will become the lord of the forest.”
『That’s not it. . . . . .there are a few monsters like Chatura and me who knew the former Holy Demon King Ellison-sama. There’s a perception that humans are enemies.』
ㅤ
Mr. Chatura and Mr. Tree King agree.
It can’t be helped. Humans and monsters have been at odds for a long time.
ㅤ
Suddenly telling them to think of humans as comrades, I don’t think they’ll accept it.
ㅤ
『Hmm. Big Sister is a kind person though, huh?』『Huh?』
ㅤ
Kumakichi-kun and Sura-chan (named by me) praised me.
But Mr. Tree King says,
ㅤ
『Certainly, Kyrie-sama is kind to monsters, but there’s hardly any opportunity for them to know that.』
“It’s true. If only there was someone to promote Kyrie-sama’s character. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Then, at that moment.
ㅤ
“GE-GYAAAAAAAAAAAA! GE-GE-GEEEEEEE!!!!”
ㅤ
A strange cry came from the sky.
ㅤ
『W, What! An enemy? Are they attacking?』『Attack?』
ㅤ
Kumakichi-kun and Sura-chan stand in front of me, ready to guard.
『No. . . . . .that voice is. . . . . .』
“It’s from above.”
ㅤ
Above?
I then noticed a bird in the sky.
The bird. . . . . .is falling rapidly.
Dangerous!
ㅤ
『No! It will crash!』
ㅤ
Being a servant of God, I believe that life should be equal to all.
Whether it’s a human or monster or bird, it doesn’t matter.
ㅤ
I prayed to God.
Please lend me the strength to save that big bird. . . . . .
ㅤ
One of the saint’s powers. . . . . .a barrier is activated.
The barrier envelops the bird.
ㅤ
As it falls. . . . . .
poyoyoon. . . . . .it bounces like a ball and rolls on the ground.
ㅤ
“Kyrie-sama, what was that just now?”
ㅤ
It was a barrier, Mr. Chatura.
It’s a barrier to protect oneself, but by adjusting its hardness, it protects the bird from the shock of the fall like that.
ㅤ
“Amazing! As expected, Kyrie-sama!”
ㅤ
I approached the bird. . . . . .
But it didn’t seem to be an ordinary bird.
ㅤ
Its upper body is a bird, but its lower body is like a lion.
ㅤ
『A Griffin. Moreover. . . . . .this is. . . . . .』
ㅤ
Whether it’s a Griffin or whatever, it doesn’t matter.
This child is writhing in pain. I must help!
ㅤ
“GE-GE-GEEEEEE!”
ㅤ
The Griffin swung its claws at me.
I. . . . . .did not dodge.
ㅤ
Zashu, its claws cut my arm.
A sharp pain runs through.
ㅤ
“Kyrie-sama! You. . . . . .!”
ㅤ
It’s not a problem, Mr. Chatura.
The wound will heal soon.
ㅤ
Before I prayed to God, the wound had already healed.
ㅤ
“W, What. . . . . .! Such a deep wound healed already?! And not even a scar! What an advanced healing technique!!!”
ㅤ
God grants blessings to the saint so that she can carry out her charitable works on earth without hindrance.
One of these blessings is the automatic healing of injuries.
ㅤ
“God’s blessing. . . . . .it’s amazing. . . . . .”
ㅤ
I’m going to Griffon-san.
This creature was thrashing about just a moment ago, but it seems to have realized that I mean no harm, and has calmed down.
ㅤ
I touch Griffon-san’s body.
Are you okay?
ㅤ
『! Can you hear my voice. . . . . .?』
ㅤ
Yes, Griffon-san. I can hear you.
I am Kyrie・Inori.
ㅤ
The second one to inherit the Holy Demon King.
ㅤ
『Holy Demon King. . . . . .I see. . . . . .Then, would you mind lending me your power?』
ㅤ
Of course.
What seems to be the problem?
ㅤ
『Actually. . . . . .I am pregnant. . . . . .Ahh!』
ㅤ
You have a child in your belly.
Then we must deliver it quickly. . . . . .
ㅤ
『That’s. . . . . . haah haah. . . . . . labor started, and the baby hasn’t come out for 2 days already』
! That’s. . . . . .difficult labor, isn’t it?
ㅤ
“Is it the situation where the child gets stuck?”
ㅤ
Exactly.
It’s a phenomenon that occasionally happens in humans as well.
ㅤ
But. . . . . .two days.
Though monsters are more robust than humans, if it lasts any longer, it will strain the womb.
And it would be a big problem if the egg hatched inside.
Griffon-san is a bird. . . . . .probably oviparous.
ㅤ
『Please. . . . . .help me. . . . . .』
ㅤ
Of course, leave it to me.
I pray in front of Griffon-san.
God. . . . . .please give me strength.
After praying, I touch Griffon-san’s belly.
ㅤ
Zubu. . . . . .zubububu. . . . . .
ㅤ
『Eh, wha?! Kyrie’s hand is going into Griffon’s belly?!』
『W, What. . . . . .Is she really reaching directly into the womb to take the baby?!』
ㅤ
Exactly.
It’s an application of the healing art that saints possess.
ㅤ
I reach my hand inside while channeling healing energy.
This way, I can take out the baby without damaging any cells. . . . . .
ㅤ
『It’s like a magical surgeon. . . . . .removing a bad organ with her bare hands, without anesthesia. . . . . .』
“It’s nothing short of a miracle. Truly impressive.”
ㅤ
Eventually, I slowly took out Griffon-san’s baby.
ㅤ
. . . . . .Although, it’s just an egg.
The egg has countless cracks in it.
ㅤ
『That was close. It was about to hatch』
ㅤ
Mrs. Kumako is right.
The cracks have spread all over the shell. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Peep!”
ㅤ
And Griffon’s baby is born!
Good. . . . . .good. . . . . .
ㅤ
That was a close call.
If the egg had cracked while stuck inside, it would have been disastrous.
ㅤ
『Thank you. . . . . .Holy Demon King-sama. It’s all thanks to you.』
ㅤ
Griffon-san rises and bows deeply.
ㅤ
『In gratitude for saving me, this Bird God General【Syndulla】shall become your strength』
ㅤ
So you’re called Mrs. Syndulla.
I am Kyrie.
ㅤ
『Kyrie-sama. The second one. Please allow me to stay by your side』
ㅤ
Well. . . . . .If you’re willing, I’m happy to have you.
On the other hand. . . . . .Mr. Tree King says with wide eyes.
ㅤ
『Syndulla. . . . . .isn’t that a name bestowed by the first one?』
ㅤ
It seems to be about the first Holy Demon King Ellison-sama.
Now that you mention it, Mr. Chatura also said he got his name from Ellison-sama.
ㅤ
『Yes. My ancestors have protected the skies of this forest with that name, generation after generation』
ㅤ
Well. . . . . .
So, you’re the king of the sky?
ㅤ
『Yes, that’s right. All the flying monsters are my dependents. Surely, they will become your strength』
ㅤ
Thus, a new monster. . . . . .Griffon Mrs. Syndulla, became a comrade.
