Legend of Eudemons

Kena was waiting in the long corridor, and the white figure of the white bird gradually expanded from a white dot, appearing in his sight.He sent Corban III to Seattle XIV first, and then came back alone.At this time, most of the people had already dispersed, only Keina stayed to wait for him.

"Shiratori, are you back?"

"Why do you use question sentences? You only spoke when you saw me come back."

"Don't pick on my sentence pattern." Kaina said, and asked in a light casual tone: "Your conversation with the father...can I ask?"

"It's all nonsense and miscellaneous things." Shiratori waved his hand, and continued to walk forward while striding forward, "Ask me how I got out—well, if you see me coming out, of course you will ask. Then just by the way About the tomb robbers. Your dad's pissed off, nothing serious—everything will stay the same. There's a bunch of other boring memories of his youth, too."

"He doesn't plan to strengthen the security around the mausoleum—that's right, that would be too ostentatious, and it's not good. It's better to rely on his own rigorous design to guard the tomb." Kaner trotted along——Shiratori His legs are not as long as Kaina's, but he is very fast when he walks quickly. "Then, did he say that he would investigate the person who sent someone to steal?"

"He should. But there are no clues at all, so I don't have much hope. I will track it down myself."

"We don't have many clues here." Kaina said reasonably, "Even if you see the appearance of those thieves, it's useless. They will definitely not appear stupidly again. I don't even know that they have gone to Where did it go. Where can I find it.—If they had been followed..."

"You still want to play another big adventure. If you really follow this time, you will be killed."

"I mean you follow."

"I don't want to. A bunch of idiots are like idiots. Besides, I'm not suitable for following."

"Didn't you follow me to the clan meeting before?"

"It's in the palace. And it's not far away. My appearance can be easily spotted in the suburbs."

Kenner thought so too.In the royal palace buildings and plants are densely planted.If it is in the suburbs, the white bird is very conspicuous, and there is nowhere to hide.

The two looked at each other and sighed helplessly.

"My official appointment will come down in three days. After that, there will be an official appointment ceremony, and by the way, there will be a celebration party for you three princes. Let's see when the time comes. I'm already your assistant officer. Even if you work hard I will protect your safety even if I die, so don’t worry.”

Kena felt a little subtle feeling, maybe it was shyness: "I said that I was desperate and so on, how can I..."

But in the next second, Shiratori said: "Actually, I'm just talking. It shouldn't happen, it needs this thing that 'I' worked so hard for."

"...What?" Kena pouted, thinking about what he said.For someone as powerful as him, he wouldn't be in a dangerous situation that required him to fight for his life.

"...Is Huiyue okay? He looks like he is now, and the appointment ceremony will be held in three days. Is he okay?"

"Obviously there is a problem. But your aunt~ She has already compromised on the issue of candidates, and she will never compromise on time. To put it bluntly, she is making things difficult. She is still reluctant to choose Huiyue. Well, although The specialists will figure it out, but I don't see much to do. The only solution to the estrus problem is mating, just find him a female—"

He noticed that Keina's face was a little embarrassed, so he shut up.

Yeah.Although this is a natural thing for Eudemons, humans like to be cryptic when talking about this kind of thing.What's more, Kenner is only a 15-year-old kid, so he will inevitably feel conflicted about talking about such things.Shiratori only found out, so he stopped talking.

"... As long as the phantom beast is in heat, anyone can do it?"

Keena murmured.It's quite surprising.Just when Shiratori stopped continuing the topic, Kaner said it himself instead.He stopped in his tracks, his light brown eyes stared at Shiratori's eyes, there was a clear light flashing in it, and there was an indescribable emotion.

"Stupid question. That's why it's called the estrous period. You can understand it literally."

Shiratori spoke very confidently, but avoided his gaze.

Keena wasn't sure he wanted to hear that kind of answer, but he'd already asked and Shiratori had already decided to answer, so there was nothing stopping him.

"During the estrus period, I don't think about anything other than mating/mating. The rarer the species, the more powerful the race is, the harder it is to control. Especially in the first two times, it is entirely possible to push whoever you see It doesn’t matter if the other party is a different kind of phantom beast or even a human being.” Shiratori said flatly with a flat face. "So the little prince should also be careful."

"What do you want me to be careful about...care about you..." Kena's eyebrows twitched, "So, when is your estrous period, Shiratori? Ask in advance, so as not to be caught off guard in an emergency. "

"Sa~ when is it?"

Seeing that Shiratori was actually thinking seriously, Kaina was quite surprised: "You have Shiratori too, right? Since you are very old, you should have had it many times, right?"

"...I don't like the term 'very old' very much," Shiratori frowned, and said with disgust, "and for 'Shiratori', the 60s are at most youth. Because they can live to About 300 years old. Well, there have been several times in estrus, maybe four or five times."

"—Are there surprisingly few?"

"The stronger the species, the lower the frequency and the shorter the duration of estrus. Didn't the little prince learn that?"

"I have learned it. But you are over 60 years old, even if you start when you are 30 years old..."

"About once every 7 or 8 years."

Kena was really surprised, he hadn't heard of any Eudemons with such a long cycle.Shiratori continued: "—and each time is very short. It will be over in a week or two. According to individual differences, it will end in a few days. Now you know why the Shiratori family is extinct."

...That's true...but then again, although the frequency is very low, but Shiratori can live for a long time, can't this make up for it?

Kena's gaze touched Shiratori's white eyes, and she avoided it slightly: "What should I do when Shiratori is in heat? Isn't it dangerous? I mean..."

"No problem, I won't cause trouble for the little prince~"

"Is there a... object...?"

His voice gradually faded.If you say it, you will regret it, but the word has already reached this point, and now the situation is hard to get rid of.He really wished that the time would return to 1 minute ago.

"Because, you are now my assistant officer, of course I will care - if you get out of control and attack others, I will be responsible too!"

Kena defended before Shiratori said anything, but his appearance was not very confident, it seemed to be a cover-up.

"It's impossible. Even if it happened before, I've been buried in the ground for 15 years." Shiratori answered immediately.

Really stupid question.

"It really was... before?"

Kaina was thinking about it in his heart, but he actually said it out.Time seemed to freeze for a moment, and Shiratori turned around to stare at him.Kenner immediately realized that he shouldn't have said this: "No, I shouldn't ask this, forget it."

Why do you ask such nonsense? Shiratori is at least 60 years old. Even if he has guarded the tomb in the Shenghua Palace for 15 years, he was at least 45 years old before he went to guard the tomb. It is impossible to be inexperienced based on common sense.When she kissed Huiyue before, she also reacted calmly.It was immediately obvious that there was no need to ask such idiotic questions.And such a personal question, what kind of short-circuited brain is it to ask it out!

Shiratori looked elusive, looking at Kaina made Kaina break out in a cold sweat, and finally answered Kaina unexpectedly: "I have never had sex with anyone since I was 22 years old, when I was in my first estrus. There’s nothing like it in this country.”

His tone was rare and quiet, and he was talking about a very private topic. Most people definitely don't want to be asked about this kind of thing, and they will be very angry if they are asked, right?When he answered, Kaina felt a little scary instead.

"Satisfied?" He was back to that lilting voice again, but Kayna didn't know how he answered.It's just a few perfunctory responses.

"In short, you don't need to worry about the little prince, I will find a way to solve it myself. And the time is very short, so it won't cause much impact."

Shiratori said, bouncing forward like a child (although he looks like a child in the first place), and Keina followed suit.

It seems that Shiratori is not angry, but Kena still regrets his talkativeness.But of course you would care, right?What happened to Huiyue happened right in front of her eyes.If the same situation happened to Shiratori, and he and Shiratori were alone, if he hadn't made this kind of psychological preparation in advance, he would definitely be at a loss when the time comes.

Even though Shiratori said that it wouldn't have much impact, he still couldn't completely let go of his mind.Before the Huiyue incident, he had never thought of such troublesome things as "the estrus of phantom beasts". "Owning Eudemons" is just a compulsory item, something that will be achieved naturally as long as one reaches a certain age.These things will be arranged for him, so he feels that he doesn't need to worry about it at all.Only now did I realize that my thinking was too simple, and I didn't consider this matter as a substantive issue at all.Even when he was sitting in the judging table, his mind was full of whether Shiratori would pass, and his vision and imagination of life after owning the Phantom Beast Assistant Officer. Didn't think about it.

Of course, he also learned how to contact Eudemons in his studies as a prince, but he didn't learn how to deal with estrus.There must be other unpredictable situations.Kenna has absolutely no experience in this area, and has never heard of similar troubles-other people who have Eudemons seem to have never been troubled by this kind of thing. ——However, if you think about it carefully, it would be disgraceful to say such a thing, and you might find it inconvenient to say it to outsiders, so even if it happened, it would not be known.

In this way, all the older royal families and noble families must face this kind of thing.So did Antonio, so did Juliette, how did they handle it?Is someone managing them just for them?

...if you have a chance, go and ask.
