[BOOK 4] The demon's generation

Chapter 7 - THIS GOD DAMNED APHASIA!!!

Riko Hatake's POV

It's currently after school in the afternoon.

I had a short trip with Kakashi.

We're just hunting some monsters outside the village.

A giant serpent or a giant bat and other kinds of those.

Of course, only the ones with little to no intelligence.

Those who are humanoids are far away at the land of voids after all.

「Good job.」

This praise comes from Kakashi after I severed a giant serpent in pieces with steel threads.

After that, I look at him whilst pointing at the dead monsters.

「Cook…Food.」

This damn Aphasia…

「…There should be a small town not far away from here, we'll get something to eat there later, okay?」

But to his response, I shook my head.

「Hnng… Not enough Magicules, Riko…is not human. 」

To this broken speech, He looks at me with a raised eyebrow, but soon it changes to a frown.

「You can't eat normal food? Do you need to eat Monsters? Are you really hungry right now? 」

His eyes are glinting with worries.

Oh, this goddamned aphasia…

Telepathy!

'The more Magicules a monster has, the more chance it has to evolve. I don't necessarily need to eat Monsters meat to live, but that is also the reason why the humans have not adapted to gain internal Magicules and are susceptible towards Magicule poisoning'

Kakashi flinched at this sudden thought transmission.

After he pondered my words for a while, he then speaks up.

「…Then…This eye you gave me this eyes-」

'Yes, a form of Magicules reserve. Your body has also changed to which might be the reason why you have not experienced Magicule poisoning yet.'

「…Sigh* you worry me for nothing…」

Ah? You were "worried"?

Thinking that, I once again pointed to the dead monster.

「Eat.」

Looking at my actions, he sighed once again.

「…do you even know how to cook these…things?」
