Rogue Prince – Chapter 56

■ Calamity Beast Caspary’s Perspective

“Nyahaha… With this, I’m one of the strongest Demon Beasts!”

While my partner Hal was sleeping soundly in bed, I gazed at the moon outside the window, grinning to myself.
I’m sure I could defeat even that Henwen now.

…If I were as big as Mother, though.

“W-Well, I have my partner Hal, so I can get bigger anytime!”

Even though I said that to sound tough, I know, of course, that I need to be in constant contact with Hal to receive Mana, so I don’t have any chance to fight alone right now.
I’m not strong at all as I am now.

But.

“I-It’s fine… Hal says I’m his partner, and he cherishes me so much.”

A year ago, the white pig Demon Beast Henwen suddenly appeared on Moan Island, which is Mother’s territory.
It was as big as Mother, and even when Mother fought with all her might, she couldn’t win, and… in the end, she protected me and was killed.

I could only tremble, unable to do anything, and while Mother was being eaten by Henwen, I ran away as fast as I could.
…That’s right. I abandoned Mother and ran away.

But, it couldn’t be helped!
I was small, had no power, and couldn’t do anything!

After that, that Henwen started eating every living thing on the island indiscriminately.
Our precious companions who lived with us Caspary.

One after another, creatures were eaten, leaving only me and a few animals.
I didn’t know what to do anymore, and I even thought about running away from the island.

But… whenever I came to the edge of the island, my legs would tremble and I couldn’t move.
It was as if I was being told to avenge Mother.

But I was afraid of Henwen, couldn’t turn around, and could only stand there.

That’s when.

–I met my partner, Hal.

“Nyahaha, I was really surprised back then… I tried negotiating with no hope, but Hal fought that Henwen for a Demon Beast like me.”

Hal came to the island seeking the other form of the Calamity Beast Caspary… the “Jet-Black Shield Caspary.”
So, when I offered that as a condition and incited him to fight Henwen, he actually fought.

Unbelievable, right?
I mean, I’m a Demon Beast, even if I’m small. Humans would normally try to kill me.

But Hal came with me to Henwen’s place, appeared dashingly in front of me, and protected me.

“I wonder if he knows how happy I was then… I guess he doesn’t…”

Looking at Hal sleeping with a blissful expression, I chuckled.
Mother always told me, “Humans are enemies to all Demon Beasts,” “Even if you win against one human, thousands, tens of thousands of humans will attack you, so never fight them,” “If you encounter them, run away immediately.”

But, Mother.
There are wonderful people among humans who are kind to weak Demon Beasts like me and need me.

That’s why I want to be by Hal’s side forever and ever.
After all, I’m Hal’s only partner.

That being said.

“…Sometimes, Sandra gets jealous of me.”

I’m a Demon Beast, and there’s no way I’d end up like that with the human Hal, but when I notice, Sandra is glaring at me…
W-Well, of course, if Hal wants me, I wouldn’t be averse to it, but…

I mean, I’m in the form of a kitten, and if I wanted to do that, I’d have to transform into a human-like form… but if I did that, Hal would definitely be turned off.

I would hate it if Hal disliked me, and I’m very happy as I am now, so, yeah… I’m fine as I am.
Besides, Hal’s fiancée is Sandra, but his partner is only me.

Therefore.

“Hal… you absolutely mustn’t cheat, okay? I won’t allow you to make anyone else your partner.”

I snuggled into the sheets and muttered on Hal’s stomach.
If it’s for being with Hal, I’ll go to this Labyrinth exploration… no, I’ll go anywhere, and I’ll fight any enemy.

Hal also said that thanks to the Title we got together, I’ve become really strong.
I’ll definitely make you not regret making me your partner, okay?

“Good night, Hal.”

I kissed Hal’s cheek and slowly closed my eyes.

Hal… let’s be together forever and ever.
