Chapitre 23: Eggs Management
"Okay, I'll do my best from now on."
"Qui~"
When I push my right hand up and say so, Valkyrie responds as if to agree.
From now on, Familiar eggs will be stably available through transactions with the peddler.
This is a huge business opportunity.
In fact, perhaps there is no better way to earn money in a rural farmer's life.
We have to get this business on track at all costs.
"For the time being, I have to inject magical power into the Familiar Eggs."
I did that while looking at the five eggs I got from the peddler.
Then Valkyrie approaches and puts the tip of her nose on the eggs and sniffs in.
"What's wrong? I don't think that's what you're thinking, but you can't eat these eggs."
"Kyukyu!"
When I say that, Valkyrie looks up at me as if to protest that she wouldn't do that.
I apologize in a hurry, but Valkyrie's actions were unexpected.
She had an egg in her mouth.
Valkyrie's mouth and teeth have the power to chew a fairly hard hatsuka stalk.
From the joking exchange I made earlier, I wondered if the egg had broken.
But that didn't seem to be the case.
Valkyrie just licked the egg with exquisite force. (TLN: Original: Valkyrie just added the egg with exquisite force.)
Then she placed the egg in her mouth onto the grass, where her bed was, and laid her body near it.
This sight looks like a parent bird warming an egg, or a horse feeding its child.
Five eggs are enshrined under Valkyrie's belly that was lying down.
"Ku ~"
While I was wondering why, Valkyrie started doing something more.
While lying on the bed with her legs down, she bent her neck to bring her head closer to the eggs by her stomach.
After that, she squealed.
Is that a spell?
However, bricks didn't appear.
If so, did you do [Magic Injection]?
"Well, are you willing to grow the eggs, Valkyrie? Can you?"
"Kui!"
Putting magical power into an egg shouldn't be a problem because I've hatched an egg before.
But I didn't explain that a Familiar Egg needs to have magical power injected into it to Valkyrie.
Perhaps it means that she understands that the eggs of causative beasts grow by absorbing magical power by nature.
"Huh, that's no good. The eggs of Familiars change their appearance depending on the quality of the magical power they absorb. It doesn't make sense if you haven't grown up."
I was surprised at what seemed to be Valkyrie's natural habit, but I soon realized that there was a problem.
It's meaningless if I don't do it.
In a hurry, I quickly collect the eggs from under Valkyrie's belly.
However, it was only after she had already injected magical power into the three eggs. (TLN: Calculations don't make sense…. There were 5 eggs that the Peddler had. *Confused*)
What should I do?
Certainly, according to what I heard, there is a possibility that eggs will hatch even if multiple different people gather to have it absorb the magical power.
However, even if a useful Familiar was born, I think it would be difficult to reproduce it again because the conditions must be the same.
With that in mind, it may be better not to do anything else with what Valkyrie has already injected magical power into.
"I guess I can't help it? Valkyrie, I'll leave these three eggs to you. Take care of the eggs so that they hatch properly."
"Qui~!"
Valkyrie was depressed when I picked up the eggs.
However, after thinking about it, I decided to give up on the eggs that were already affected by Valkyrie's magical power.
It is also something that I didn't buy on my own.
If they were eggs purchased with my own money, they might have been a Buchigire project, but it is not. (TLN: Meh. After searching on Google-senpai for many minutes, I cannot find out what "Buchigire project" means.)
And it's not uncommon for eggs to break in an accident before they hatch.
Even if I make a mistake, that peddler will think of it as an accident and give up.
With that in mind, I decided to manage the eggs separately from Valkyrie.
TLN: Summary: Valkyrie is not fully grown-up, yet, so her magical power should be inferior in quality to Ars'. A Familiar will grow up with a shape that depends on the Magical Power Injector's magical power quality. So, if Valkyrie's magic is of poor quality, then the creature born may not be useful.
