"Here, take this." Looking at the impatient Milim, Takeru shook his head and directly produced a PSP for her.
"Oh, what's this?" The instant she saw the PSP, Milim let out an excited cry, then adorably inquired what it was.
"If you don't know, don't act so surprised about it. Felt, Miki, you teach Milim how to play. However, Milim, this item is very precious, but also very fragile. You must not use too much force, understand?"
After teasing Milim, Takeru reminded her.
Given various circumstances, Takeru's item slot contained many things from the main world, including articles for clothing, food, shelter, transportation, entertainment, and leisure.
"I understand!" Hearing Takeru's instructions, Felt and Miki directly led Milim aside and began teaching her.
PSPs existed in Miki's original world, so she was completely familiar with them. As for Felt, having watched Miu, Hinata, and others play, she was also very interested in the device.
Having dispatched Milim, Takeru then produced three Chansey's eggs. Mana surged forth, and soon the three eggs began to enlarge, rapidly transforming into Chansey.
"Chan sey~!" Soon, as their consciousness formed, the Chanseys excitedly called out.
"From now on, you are Chansey One, you are Chansey Two, Chansey Three." Looking at the Chansey, Takeru named them in order.
As Takeru's naming concluded, the three Chansey received Takeru's mana transmission and underwent tremendous enhancement.
"Chansey One (Two, Three) greets Master." Upon completion of their enhancement, the Chansey respectfully addressed Takeru.
"Yes. Your duties from now on are laying eggs and healing. You shall follow the instructions of Akame, Kurome, Chelsea, and Sheele." Looking at them, Takeru directly stated.
"We understand!" Hearing Takeru's words, the Chansey cheerfully nodded. Upon their creation by Takeru, they had already received this information regarding their egg-laying duties.
And although laying eggs might appear to be producing their offspring for consumption, this was not the case. Creatures manifested by Takeru inherently lacked reproductive capability. Thus, so-called egg-laying was merely an ordinary skill that released their energy. To them, the eggs were simply a mass of energy.
After creating the Chansey, Takeru manifested two Miltank. The reason for only two was that Takeru possessed only two Torl carcasses...
Upon manifesting them, Takeru again bestowed names: Miltank One and Miltank Two. They were likewise entrusted to Akame and the others.
Akame was very interested in the Chansey and Miltank, which could produce delicious ingredients. After all, Akame herself was a foodie.
"Creation Magic!" On the other side, Milim, noticing Takeru conjuring monsters out of thin air, exclaimed in surprise.
Diablo also appeared somewhat astonished. He had heard of this type of magic but never witnessed it. This was not magic that infused spirits or souls into monsters or special puppets… this was true creation magic.
"As expected of my master, to be able to employ magic of this level!" Witnessing this, Diablo remarked with admiration, his reverence for Takeru visibly deepening.
If initially he had become Takeru's subordinate out of curiosity and amusement, upon receiving his name from Takeru, he had already been somewhat convinced. Now, after a series of interactions, Diablo's loyalty had reached its zenith.
Takeru noticed Diablo's transformation. Confident in his own power and cherishing talent, Takeru had accepted him from the start. Perceiving his ever-increasing respect during their interactions, Takeru was quite satisfied.
Subsequently, Takeru assessed the situation of the Chansey and Miltank. Due to naming amplification, the five Pokémon had also increased in strength. Simultaneously, their egg-laying and milk-production capacities had dramatically improved.
For instance, each Chansey, expending half its energy, could produce fifty to fifty-five nutritious, delicious eggs, recovering fully in about three hours.
Thus, operating at full capacity without overexertion, a Chansey could produce over four hundred eggs daily. Even at a relaxed, leisurely pace, it could produce three hundred to three hundred fifty eggs per day. Two Chansey yielded six to seven hundred eggs.
This was over ten times the output in the main world.
Takeru also discovered that, with enhanced strength, the taste of the Chansey' eggs had slightly improved. Additionally, their effects, like enhancing consumers' strength or restoring their condition, had significantly increased.
The Miltank's situation was similar, their milk production rising from forty liters to over four hundred liters.
"Hey, Takeru, I want some too!" At this moment, Milim, noticing Takeru and the others enjoying the Chanseys' produce, caught the scent and excitedly rushed over, tugging Takeru's arm and acting spoiled.
Perhaps because Takeru had defeated Milim and then comforted her, Milim herself did not realize she had grown overly familiar with Takeru.
Beatrice, observing this, pursed her lips but said nothing.
"Alright, here you go." Looking at the childlike Milim, Takeru directly handed her a cooked egg.
"Thanks!" Receiving the egg, Milim acted as if she had obtained some great treasure, cradling it with evident excitement.
Seeing this, Takeru found it amusing, 'If the others were to know that one of the most ancient Demon Lords could be so effortlessly enticed by delicious food, they would likely be exasperated.'
Having received the egg, Milim excitedly devoured it, then took the PSP from Felt's hands and began playing. However, being a novice, Milim played quite poorly.
Yet despite her lack of skill, she was clearly thrilled.
With Milim settled, Takeru began contemplating his next course of action.
Currently, Takeru planned to deal with the upcoming Orc Lord incident, then properly settle accounts with Clayman. At that point, his business in this world would be largely concluded.
Subsequently, Takeru thought of Tsumugi. When he hunted Clayman, Takeru intended to bring her along. Assisting in slaying a Demon Lord would likely significantly boost her evaluation score.
Having clarified his plans, Takeru prepared to return to the Jura Forest. After all, due to the incident with Milim, he had rushed back without any notice.
Now, nearly noon, he needed to inform Tsumugi.
…
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed. During this time, Takeru frequently shuttled between the Jura Forest and the Kingdom of Falmuth.
Milim had thoroughly adapted to life in the Kingdom of Falmuth, spending her days gaming and eating, also becoming very keen on hot springs and shopping.
Beyond matters concerning Milim, the development of Falmuth progressed increasingly smoothly under Takeru and the others' governance. In the Jura Forest, Takeru could sense even ordinary monsters feeling immense danger, growing restless and agitated.
As for the six Ogres, under Rimuru's naming, they had evolved into Kijin. Their appearances had become more human-like, and most importantly, their strength had considerably increased.
Today, Rimuru had finally regained consciousness. He learned from Great Sage that bestowing names upon high-ranking monsters consumed corresponding mana.
In other words, Benimaru and the other five had completely drained Rimuru...
Meanwhile, at Lake Siss, the central lake of the Jura Forest, the surrounding wetlands provided optimal habitat for the Lizardmen, who ruled this territory.
"R-report! Orc army detected south of Lake Siss. They may invade our domain!" Entering a cavern, two Lizardman scouts nervously reported their findings to their king.
"Orcs? Prepare for battle. Drive back those mere Orcs!" The Lizardman king, seated in the primary position, spoke confidently.
Normally, Orcs and goblins were considered comparable. Thus, most races held Orcs in low regard… hence the Lizardman king's confidence.
"How many?" Beside the Lizardman king, another Lizardman inquired. She was the king's daughter, the Lizard princess.
"Well... the Orc army numbers approximately two hundred thousand," the scout stated.
"Impossible! That's twenty times our own forces!" Hearing the scout's words, the Lizard princess found it unbelievable.
"We confirmed multiple times using mana sensing and heat source detection. I stake my life on its accuracy!" Hearing the princess's shock, the scout spoke earnestly.
