I Leveled up from Being a Parasite, But I May Have Grown Too Much - Chapter 26
That eat something and evolves
Hmm, hello?
After making its appearance with the permanent summon, I tried greeting the weird summoned beast egg that looked like a penguin with those grown legs.
Then, with tottering steps, it came walking to me.
It appears that even if it cant talk, it can understand what Im saying.
When I try walking a few steps, it follows me with its short legs.
Though now that I know that its a brave guy, what can I do?
When I crouch down and watch it carefully, I noticed that the egg had something like a crack for a mouth.
If it has a mouth, then I have to try feeding it with something.
With a very shallow thought thinking that it would be enough to give food to it in order to tame it, I pull out dried meat from my space bag, and with some remaining vegetables from before, I left the food in front of the egg.
I even brought a bucket filled with water from outside, so all the preparations should be completed. I couldnt even begin to imagine how it would drink with such a body, but just in case.
Carnivorous or herbivorous Ah, it ate both. Omnivorous it is.
The summoned beast has a small body but unusually it devoured everything greedily in a blink of an eye.
What a great way to eat Ah?
It happened just when it finished eating its food.
A light began to be released from the eggs body.
Even when I was thinking what could be happening, the light rapidly becomes even more dazzling to the point that you cant look ahead. I closed my eyes and endured the light.
Soon, the light appeared to calm down so I opened slowly the eyes, but there was no longer an egg in front of mine.
Theres a pig
In exchange, there was a pig in the place where the egg was.
No matter how you look, its a mini size pig, and if I have to say the only thing that is different, it would be whats in front of the curly tail that looked like a violet flower blooming.
If I have to say something, then yes, it has changed the enough, but its still a pig.
What is happening? It can be that the egg has become this?
When I muttered half of my monologue, as if the pig wanted to affirm it, the flower, no, the pig snorted.
Could be that this is the so called, one of its evolutions and I did something to cause it?
At first it looks weak, but if you raise it, its appearance would change with the evolution. This summoned beast has such peculiarity.
That seems to be really interesting. But, why a pig?
When I try thinking about the reason, a certain feeling come to me, that it could be the dried meat I gave to the pig.
Then, it ate vegetables with it, in other words plants, something that blooms with flowers.
Evolving according to things it eats?
Then, I dont have any other choice but to think about its nutritional balance?
It seems that its complicated to think deeply about it, so first lets tame this summoned beast. Hand
When I stretch out my hand, the pig stretches its forefoot.
Tail
After saying that, the tail was shaken.
It seems that we surely can reach to a mutual understanding. Then, next would be the summon release
When I release the skill, the summoned beast disappears leaving a faint afterglow.
And again, I tried using Permanent Summon.
Together with a light, the summoned beast, the pig with a blooming flower on its tail appeared and not a egg.
Yes, it appears with the same appearance with which it disappeared. Because it has evolved, it will no longer appear with egg appearance of the beginning.
If so, lets try feeding it with something. If it will evolve by eating, then I want to let it eat something, if it still has room in its stomach.
Good, lets have the old man from the inn prepare various things in the kitchen for this guy to eat.
Excuse me
At that moment, the door was slowly opened.
The one who entered timidly into the room was the girl from the inn, Marie.
Ah, Marie-chan. Whats the matter?
Its nothing, its not like I have any, businessThis child, its an unusual animal, isnt it?
It seems that I didnt close the door correctly when I went to look for a bucket of water. Pointing that out, she seemed to have interest in this summoned beast that she discovered.
It seems that this inn allows animals, because there are adventurers who uses hawks and hunting dogs. Therefore I dont have to worry about being reproached, so theres no reason to be in panic either.
Yes, its quite a rare animal
Marie nods, and then after she approaches the bloomed flower of the summoned beast, she extends her hand.
Its okay to touch it?
Of course. But, if you are not careful you will be bitten Its a joke, a joke. Its okay. Im sorry for scaring you, Marie-chan. This is an easy going animal so its okay
Marie got angry for a moment, but suddenly with a humble smile she started to pat the summoned beasts back.
The summoned beast it also seemed pleased as it wags its tail.
So you were keeping this child, Eiji-san
More than keeping it, how I can say, well yes, something like that
Its a small and cute pig. If it only fatten a little more, then it would be delicious
The moment Marie said that, the summoned beasts tail become upright and went to hide itself behind me, snorting as if it were frightened.
Ah, Im sorry. I will not eat it, another persons pig. You dont have to worry
Then you would eat if it was your pig!?
But well, I understand, perhaps its because of where we are, If you think about a pig as a livestock, then that should be normal. There was a time when I also didnt know that mini size pigs could be kept as pets, so I only thought about pigs as pork for cooking.
I calmed down the summoned beast and then I put it in front of Marie.
At that moment it occurred to me. That its inconvenient to continue calling it summoned beast, and that its necessary to think of a name.
If thats the case, now is the time.
Hey, Marie-chan. This guy, I havent given it a name yet, do you have any good suggestions?
A name, you say?
Yes, thats right. If you have a good suggestion then I would like to hear
Marie keeps staring at the summoned beast with seriousness in her eyes.
Though she groaned for a while, but eventually she hesitantly opened her mouth.
Well, what do you think about Hana(Flower/Nose)?
Hana
A flower bloomed on its tail and because the pigs nose is cute, so Hana. What, do you think?
I see. Its good, I think its a good name. Thank you, Marie-chan
You are welcome
Feeling embarrassed, Marie crouched down and stroked Hanas back.
After being patted, Hana forgot about how scared it was and relieved, it become attached to Marie. Im envious of its simple personality.
Lets start again, nice to meet you, Hana
The summoned beast, the bloomed pig replied by snorting.
