It seems that the white kitten I treated is actually a child of one of the Four Divine Beasts, the White Tiger.
“Meow… meow…”
The baby White Tiger is currently nursing happily from Felmaa. When I asked her, she gladly took on the role of a wet nurse.
Once the little one finished its meal…
“Meow!”
The baby White Tiger began to whimper.
“It seems like it wants you to hold it, Mika.”
Why me…? Felmaa is right here.
“Meow!”
“Alright, alright, I understand. No more crying.”
Feeling sorry for it, I decided to pick it up. The baby White Tiger curled up in my arms, looking completely at ease.
“Bark bark!” “Woof!”
The energetic Feruta and Feruco quickly showed interest in the little White Tiger, licking it affectionately.
I wondered if it would be scared to suddenly be seen by unfamiliar faces.
“Meow…”
Though it seemed a bit hesitant, it didn’t appear to dislike them. They were sniffing each other, which was a good sign of friendship.
“Mika, I sincerely thank you for saving the life of my Familiar’s child.”
Morrigan bowed her head gracefully.
“Don’t mention it. I love fluffy creatures too, and besides, it was a friend’s request.”
Morrigan smiled happily but shook her head.
“I want to express my gratitude for saving the White Tiger cub.”
“Gratitude? No, it’s really fine.”
“No, it would be rude not to offer something in return after saving the life of a Divine Beast. Please, allow me.”
Honestly, I didn’t need anything in return. But if I refused, it would embarrass Morrigan.
“Alright, thank you.”
“Then, Mika, please take out your smartphone.”
I handed my smartphone to her with one hand. Morrigan placed her hand over it.
Sparkling particles of light emanated from her hand and were absorbed into the smartphone.
“I have added a God App. It’s called [G Viewing].”
“G Viewing…?”
I decided to try opening it.
“A map app?”
A map similar to G●●gle Maps appeared, but instead of a stylized version, it depicted realistic terrain.
…Wait a minute. I zoomed in with my fingers.
There, I could see myself and Morrigan reflected on the screen.
“Could it be… real-time footage from the sky displayed on my smartphone?”
“That’s correct.”
“Indeed. This app is quite convenient. Thank you. I feel bad for receiving so many useful things from you, like the Divine Hammer Mjolnir the other day.”
“No, it’s perfectly fine! As long as Mika is happy!”
Morrigan said with a cheerful voice. However, I felt guilty for always receiving gifts.
“Tomato-kun, could you gather some fruits and make a fruit basket as a souvenir?”
“…………” Swoosh!
Tomato-kun took the basket that Morrigan brought and went off. Before long, he returned with a basket brimming with fruits.
“W-What are these delicious-looking fruits…?”
“Fruits from Earth.”
“!? Oh, I see, you bought them from KAMIZON?”
“No, we grow them here.”
“!?！？！？！？！？”
Morrigan looked utterly astonished. I could understand her feelings.
“This is… incredible. This world has different soil and climate from Earth… So how are Earth fruits here?”
“Well, when I used the ash created from Akahane’s flames, something amazing happened.”
“!? C-Could you please show me?”
I showed her the Holy Ash.
“This is… I see. The purifying power of the Vermilion Bird seems to be concentrated in this. It possesses cleansing power comparable to the world’s greatest purification magic.”
“Wow, that’s impressive…”
Given that the tool’s rank was extra, I figured it was something special. But I never expected it to have the highest purification power in the world.
“Mika, you always exceed my expectations as a God.”
“Well, I have plenty of time to think since I’m not busy. Here, have some fruit.”
“Yes! Thank you!”
Morrigan took a bite of a strawberry.
“Mmm~♡ It’s delicious! This is the best strawberry I’ve ever had!”
Being a deity from another world, it was probably her first time tasting Earth fruits. Morrigan eagerly devoured the strawberries.
“Ugh…”
Felmaa approached me.
“What is it?”
“Mika-sama… You’re chatting away with that woman. It’s unfair!”
“Oh, I’m sorry. It’s not that I’m ignoring you. She’s a guest, after all.”
“Hmph! Did you hear that, Goddess? You’re just a guest! Unlike us, who are family!”
Felmaa struck a triumphant pose, causing Morrigan to frown.
“Don’t fight.”
Morrigan, now completely satisfied with the fruit, said, “Well then, I shall take my leave.”
“Alright.”
I handed the baby White Tiger back to her. After all, it was Morrigan who brought it here, so I needed to return it to its mother.
“Meow!”
“Whoa, what is it?”
The baby White Tiger clung to my finger.
“What’s wrong? It’s time to go home.”
“Meow! Meow! Meow~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!”
The little one shook its head vigorously.
“It seems it doesn’t want to go home.”
Akahane chimed in from above, “It says, [I don’t want to go back].”
It doesn’t want to go back…?
“But your mother is waiting for you?”
“It says, [I like it here, I like you… big sister…].”
It seems the baby White Tiger has taken a liking to me. Did I do something to earn its affection?
I suppose saving its life is enough of a reason.
“That should be more than enough to make it like you.”
“Indeed. I can understand why the baby White Tiger would be captivated by Mika’s kindness.”
Morrigan and Felmaa exchanged smiles. Weren’t they just arguing a moment ago?
They seemed to have suddenly hit it off.
“But what should we do… this little one doesn’t want to go back.”
“Then, I will leave this child in Mika’s care.”
“You want me to take care of the baby White Tiger? Is that alright?”
“Yes, as long as Mika is okay with it.”
The baby White Tiger looked at me with big, watery eyes.
Ugh… so cute.
It seems I’ve really won this little one’s heart.
If I tried to force it back, it would probably cry.
I don’t want to make this adorable White Tiger cry…
“Bark~… Woof~…”
Feruta and Feruco looked at me with pleading eyes.
It seems they also have taken a liking to the little White Tiger.
“It would be good for Akahane to have friends among the Four Divine Beasts too, so… yeah.”
“Alright, I’ll take care of it.”
“Meow!” “Bark!” “Woof!” “……..!” “Yay!”
The children of the monsters began to jump up and down in unison.
It seemed they were celebrating the addition of a new friend.
“Meow, meow!”
The little White Tiger chirped happily. Hehe…
“That means it needs a name.”
Since it’s a white cat… hmm.
“From now on, you shall be called Hakubyō.”
At that moment…
Shimmer…! The baby White Tiger, now Hakubyō, began to glow.
The once skinny and tiny creature…
“Meow!”
“Oh, it has grown a size!”
It now had a fluffy, healthy body, with stripes appearing in its fur.
～～～～～～
Hakubyō
【Race】White Tiger (Cub)
【Level】150
～～～～～～
And, of course, it had a three-digit level…
Well, being a Divine Beast’s cub, it might have a high level. Akahane was similar.
“That’s amazing, Mika…”
Morrigan, having checked Hakubyō’s status using Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet), was once again astonished.
“Divine Beasts, like monsters, gradually increase their levels from 1.”
Divine Beasts are incredibly powerful monsters. It seems they normally level up just like them, one at a time.
“Moreover, Divine Beasts take longer to level up than other monsters.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“Yes. They require more experience and magical power to grow than other monsters.”
It’s like Pokémon’s Dragon types…
Wait a minute.
“So, the fact that just by naming it, its level increased by 150 times… could it be…?”
“Yes, that’s something that normally shouldn’t happen.”
So that’s how it is…
Both Felmaa and Fubuki had their levels shoot up after being named.
I thought naming was a ritual that instantly raised levels.
But it seems that such a thing was impossible…
“Mika, you might have been born to become the next Supreme God.”
“The Supreme God… is that the top of the gods?”
“Yes. You have the potential to become the Supreme God. If the Supreme God were to learn about you, they would surely take an interest.”
“Wait, seriously…? Please don’t tell anyone.”
That would definitely lead to troublesome situations.
“Yes, I understand. I won’t tell the Supreme God. I promise I won’t speak of it to anyone.”
“Absolutely? That’s a promise, right?”
Regardless of anything else, we have welcomed a new fluffy companion into our midst: the White Tiger, Hakubyō.
