「What are you doing to Ceres-mama?」
I slipped between Ceres-mama and Lilith. I gripped the arrow that was about to fly off.
「Don’t get in the way servaーHmm? Mama?」
Lilith glared at me in discomfort, but then she immediately looked confused.
「Mama? You’re calling her your mother? No way, do you have a blood of a fellow brethren?」
“It can’t be, no but his mana…” she mutters. Sending Ceres-mama a sideway glance, she shrank, lowered her head, and her cheeks has been drained of color. Both her hands are gripping tightly.
I don’t know why Lilith calls Ceres-mama her breathren, but it seems like it has something to do with elves.
(I have to protect Mama!)
But, it doesn’t matter if they’re an elf or a dragon. Ceres-mama is my Mama. She’s mine.
I won’t let her get hurt, even if I’m facing the queen of the elves.
ーーCrack.
I put more strength in my grip and the arrow Lilith was readying snapped. I will never allow her harm Ceres-mama.
「How…did you break my arrowー」
「Oh queen of elves. Why are you acting violently here? This is a place for the wounded warriors to be healed」
A dark skinned giant, accompanied by a group of knights came from the door we went through. A large, muscled bald man. That’s Martin Camille, the Great Lord of the South I figured it out at a glance based on the characteristics I was told on our way here.
「I attempted to bestow mercy to my breathren. That’s the queen’s responsibility」
「It’s unnecessary. She’s under the protection of the great Dragon Queen. The Elf Queen’s mercy is not needed」
Both parties refuse to yield, glaring at each other while releasing their mana. The air feels like a fight is about to break out.
「Wait now. Why are you pushing this conversation forward on your own」
But, I don’t care about that. Why are you getting excited on your own? Elf Queen? Dragon Queen?
That doesn’t matter.
Ceres-mama is my mama.
□
Born by the world tree, die by the world tree. That’s the fate of the elves and the spirits.
However, elves are females only, and they were perfect breeding hosts for other monsters.
Elves are strong individuals who do not fall behind monsters, they cannot be underestimated. However, the monsters that dwell in the great forest aren’t that simple. There are monsters that feed on elves using their special attribute mana, and monsters who shatter them head-on with immense power.
Those unfortunate to be defeated by the monsters were captured, and couldn’t die. They lose their purity, become an outlet for lust, and the spirit that was with them either go mad or vanish, yet they couldn’t die.
What’s born from the end of that tragedy is a half-elf, inheriting the monster’s blood.
Cere’s father was the king of the forest. A unicorn with immense healing power.
Ceres’ mother was an elf. An unlucky woman who couldn’t escape the unicorn.
Ceres’ mother had returned to the forest by the hand of an elf, an arrow of mercy from her fellow. However, Ceres escaped the elves’ search,. If the elves had found her, she too would’ve die as a pitiful brethren, just like her mother. But in the end, the elves didn’t find her, and she passed through the great forest and ended up in the hands of the Dragon Queen for reasons unknown.
A half-breed of unicorn and elf, inheriting none of the Kiryu blood. A humanoid monster, established by the laws of the kingdom, possessing the mana of life and immense healing power. The dragon queen’s pet.
That’s Ceres. The true identity of the monster serving as the manager of the girls dorm.

「ーWell, not that I care」
Whether they’re a monster or an elf, or whether they have the blood of Kiryu.
Nothing would change the fact that Ceres-mama is important to me.
