Chapter 6 – Oh No, It’s Still Too Early!
The twelfth spring came, then summer, then autumn, and it was almost time to prepare for winter, when we were gathered deep inside the cave.
This cave is large enough for Mama and the others to live in.
In terms of our past lives, it would be about the size of a baseball stadium.
I’ve never been there, but I think so.
At that time, at the back, without anyone noticing, a magic circle had been drawn horizontally for each of us siblings, and Mama instructed us to stand in front of it.
My siblings and I were puzzled, but we looked at each other and did as we were told, but then Mama said something unbelievable in front of us.
[You two, we’re going to take a test before you become independent.]
So far, so good.
But it was the next words that were the problem.
[We’re going to transport you to a different place, so you take control of it and make it your territory. Don’t come back until then.]
[Wait just a second, Mom!]
My panicked voice echoes through the cave.
[Does that mean I’ll be all alone? Oh, never mind the brothers, but I…]
Mom gives me a bitter smile.
[Little girl, you’re already big enough, aren’t you? Stop acting like a baby forever.]
[Wait, wait! I’m so small!]
[That’s about the limit for you as a human woman, isn’t it? I know that much too!]
[No, no, I’ll get a little bigger! And it’s not just a matter of size!]
By the way, my current outfit is a white hat (with Fenrir ears), Sherry clothes, a tail-like thing attached to my belt, and spats (or something like them) under my skirt.
I have white hair in braids, and even though I say so myself, I think I’m pretty cute!
I asked an elf woman to make me clothes, with the image of a middle school girl (athletic type) with some Fenrir elements added.
In return, I grew some unknown variety of grapes for her using the plant growing magic I’ve recently acquired.
Well, that’s not relevant, but as you can see from my outfit, I’m something like a middle school girl!
In my previous life, I was in a position where I would normally be supported by a guardian!
…I don’t really remember being protected, but–it’s the law!
And it’s not a question of whether I’m an adult or a child, if I was left alone in a world where dragons roam like this, I’d definitely die.
You’ll die!
I wonder?
Recently, I’ve been getting annoyed with Mama’s constant urgings to hunt big game, so I’ve been accepting the prey that Big Brother has hunted on the condition that I cook it. Maybe that wasn’t good!?
And perhaps that made you think that I can do this much!?
That’s pretty dangerous!?
[Mama, you see–]
[I’ll tell you the characteristics of each place we’re sending you to]
[Mama!
Just listen!]
Mama continues to talk, ignoring my screams.
[Big son, you’re heading to the northern forest–the most dangerous place where various dragon species roam.
I’m sure you’ll have no problem, though.]
Even though there are ominous words like “dragon species” and “most dangerous,” Big Brother’s mouth twists in a grin.
She’s really motivated!
[Big girl, you’re heading to the western forest – a somewhat troublesome place with a den of undead creatures nearby. However, since you have red fire magic, I’m sure you can wipe them out.]
Even though it’s a place where scary ghosts are likely to appear, the big sister laughed confidently [Fufufu].
Amazing!
[Little son, the eastern side where you’re heading is more like a mountain range than a forest. The terrain is full of ups and downs, and the beasts that live there are all a little quirky. But you’re smart, so I think you can use the terrain to your advantage.]
The little brother says without any hint of nervousness, [Are there any tasty birds?].
He’s as calm as ever!
[Little girl] and mom look towards me.
[You’re heading to the southern forest, and beyond that is a fairly large human town. It’s a pretty easy place for you… well, you’re a coward, so it’s a good place to start.]
No, no, even if it’s better than a dragon, it’s impossible!
You can’t rule a human town!
[Mamaaaa] I try to approach, but Mama pushes me away with her nose and says, [Listen to the end] and continues.
[I’ve prepared magic circles that will teleport things to each location, so send the prey you’ve caught periodically! You remember how to do it, right? If the contents and the situation of control seem too bad――]
Mama says with a frightened look in her eyes.
[That child will have to start “special training” over again!]
All the siblings gasp.
Even the big brother has a frown on his face.
“Special training” — it was years ago, but it feels like it was yesterday…
No, I don’t want to remember it!
I don’t want to remember it!
Mama suddenly smiles.
[Don’t worry! If you send me “good” things regularly, I’ll wait even if I’m a little slow to take control]
And so on.
[Mom] and Big Brother say worriedly.
[Is it okay for your little sister to be in the same place as me? I’m worried]
[Big Brother!]
I’m moved and my eyes well up with tears, but Mom says with cold eyes.
[Of course not. You’re not worried, you just want to eat your little sister’s cooking]
[Well, I suppose so…]
Big Brother retreats.
Hey!
Don’t give up!
I’ll cook for you every meal!
[Mom, you know–]
Mom changes the subject as if to interrupt what I was about to say.
[Also, I’m going to take this opportunity to give you names]
[What, names?]
I blinked.
I was wondering if Fenrir didn’t have names as a species because we’ve always called them Big Brother and Big Sister.
And now they’re giving them names?
Leaving me wondering, Mama gave them names.
[The big son will be “”, the big daughter will be “”, the little son will be “”, and the little daughter will be “”. Make sure you remember your own names at the very least.]
My name is…
Something feels strange.
My brothers and I looked at each other with a somewhat embarrassed look on our faces.
That means…
[Big brother is Big Brother Kuu, big sister is Big Sister Kelly, and little brother is Big Brother Kol!]
Mama and my brothers looked at me with strange expressions when I said that.
Big sister – Big Sister Kelly said with an exasperated look on her face.
[My little sister sometimes says weird things]
[Eh~ Is that weird? Isn’t it just a pet name?]
[Pet name? What’s that, that’s weird]
[Eh~]
Big Bro Kuu thinks for a moment and says.
[So, is my little sister Sally?]
[You can just call her Sally or Col without adding sister or brother]
Big Bro Kuu tilts his head confused, but that’s how it is!
Mama says as she slaps the ground with her front paws.
[Come on, come on, don’t go off on a tangent. Anyway, now that you have all “got names,” you should be proud wherever you are.]
Then, moving in front of Big Bro Kuu, Mama raises her front paws and then puts them down.
A circle of light appeared behind Big Brother Kuu, and he fell over him, and his giant body disappeared!
Mama had teleported him!
[Hey, wait a second, Mom!]
Mama put her front paws down in front of Big Sister Kelly and Big Brother Kol.
Big Sister and Big Brother were teleported one after the other.
No!
I absolutely don’t want to be alone!
It’s a life-risking thing.
Even if I had to go through that special training again, it seemed far better than being thrown out into this world.
I frantically jumped on Mom.
On her usual big, fluffy chest.
I’ll stick to it and hang on for days, weeks!
Suddenly, I collided with something soft and was sent flying backwards.
Huh!?
What!?
I jumped back and landed, and mom’s huge paw was right in front of me.
Ahh!
[M–]
Mom’s front paws touched the ground.
