Chapter 9

You could say I'm acting like an asshole, but... No, I've finished the thought, I have no excuses. I'm an asshole.

While my parents are fighting my enemies, I can safely eat food from the hands of my opponents...

I don't care if I'm a baby, but I should have yelled and bothered them! Yes? And that would be silly, because no matter how much I love them, now I am powerless and my life is completely in their hands. Maybe another more adequate person would have behaved like a baby, crying there all day.

But who knows, maybe from my twenty-four hours of continuous powerful ultrasonic crying, they will change their mind about raising me to be a faithful weapon and stupidly kill me with a slap. Beasts, what can you take from them...

Two months, is it possible to get attached to someone in some measly two months? "A little," but I still got attached to my sister and mother. I'm sorry, Dad, but I can't say the same to you. In the future, maybe my opinion about him would have changed, but right now I don't give a damn... Still.

After my abduction, my life... It hasn't changed much.

I slept as usual, drank milk, shit on myself, only now I stopped studying, because Shizuka doesn't read me bedtime stories like Shirou. The rest of the time I meditated and comprehended the laws of existence. Almost nothing has changed.

Minutes turned into hours, hours turned into days, I waited patiently. I was waiting for news.

Maybe I didn't get attached to the other members of the clan as I did to my own family, because I didn't see them, but I was a little interested in their fate. Basically, I wanted to hear what happened to my mom and sister. If they survived, that's good, but if they didn't... In a couple of decades, the wolf tribe will face a bloody, merciless and cruel genocide.

The thought that I would never see my mother again, even though I don't even know her name, was surprisingly but very depressing to me, as was the unknown fate of my "older" sister.

In this new life, they were the only ones who cared about and genuinely loved me simply for who I am. I really got "a little" attached to them...

Shizuka wasn't always with me, most of the day she disappeared somewhere inside the house.

On the very day I was abducted, I heard through my sleep that she had been given a long mission to guard the great me, that is, it could be said that she had been given a rest. Of course, as a true representative of wolves, she did not rest.

Behind the wall was her room, and I could often hear her heavy sighs, loud breathing, and slaps, as if something hard was beating something soft, presumably she was exercising...

"Arrgg—" Behind the wall, I heard an intermittent growl, and then the speed of the blows increased several times!

It looks like she's started training in earnest. Probably, he is practicing punching on the punching bag for endurance. Or something else...

Encouraged by her strong fighting spirit, I became highly motivated and continued to practice meditation diligently!

I feel the pure qi of the world in the air, it is powerful, unbridled, much stronger than mine, but thanks to meditation and pumped willpower, I manage to breathe a drop of this qi inside me. When I exhale, a tiny part of it remains in me, but even this is enough for me to digest it long and painstakingly.

It is absorbed in the kernel, and then dissolves in it and pumps it. The volume of my ki increases, the speed of ki recovery, the concentration of ki, even the speed of assimilation increases! And many other factors. In general, there are only advantages.

Everything would be fine if the efficiency did not limp on both legs... The boost percentage is only one-tenth of one percent! And that's only 0.1!! That is, in one session of training, I become stronger by as much as 0.1%! Well, approximately, or somewhere close to this value, I can judge from my feelings, but even so, it is very small.

The time to digest natural qi varies from one minute to a whole hour. It all depends on how much qi I take from the world.

By the way, 0.1% gain gives me one hour of continuous training! In fact, I'm just eating qi, lying down and waiting for everything to digest...

Previously, the digestion rate was even slower, but over time, it has increased to the current values!

I think we can wrap it up for today...

"Archnh—" There was a particularly hard thud against something soft, then there was a whimper of joy and all was still.

Looks like my Shizuka finished her workout and went to bed. Normally, one training session consists of five six rounds with short breaks, but today she finished it faster than yesterday. That's progress!

I'm not the only one suffering here, she's also giving her all and training to the limit of her strength!

I wanted to finish and go to bed?! Never! While I'm sleeping, Shizuka is recovering and getting stronger, but I don't need time to rebuild my body, because I'm getting stronger right now! Right while meditating!

Decided! I won't sleep tonight! Meditation only! Only hardcooo

As I began to inhale and exhale frantically, I was gathering a huge amount of qi inside me...

...

[From the author - who didn't understand, she was engaged in self-gratification, so to speak, she trained her arm, well, or the tail (and it can be used in different ways, if you use your ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) imagination . ), and not with someone... This is... Well, you get the idea.]

...

"It seems to me, or you're some kind of... More active? The girl said thoughtfully, looking at me so handsome.

At the same time, like an ordinary child, I was waving my arms and legs. This is how I was affected by an overabundance of ki in my body. I had just gone a little too far with meditation, my body was literally exhausted and wanted to do something, so I was now wasting excess energy through these active body movements.

"I'll leave it here—" She showed me the jars of milk and left them over my head.

The jars are not ordinary, they have runes that keep the heat inhibited, so even after a few hours, the milk will be warm and will not cool down for a long time.

As I understand it, Shizuka doesn't like these expensive and useless things, and she doesn't like all these superfluous riches in the house either. Why take a golden toilet if an ordinary one perfectly fulfills its intended role? And she's a very rich person. Runemasters like her could buy a palace as well as ours if they wanted to, but again, she's not after money or other riches. She just wants to live in peace and explore the runes...

I have a theory that those wolves that begin to use their brains more than their fists become calmer and less eager to fight. And to become a rune master, you need to use brains from childhood. That's why Shizuka is so calm, even too calm, so much so that it seems like she doesn't care about anything, but she's not...

So, before she leaves, it would be necessary to solve small issues.

The ki that restrained and acted as a valve dissipated in the area of my asshole and my anus relaxed...

The dam broke.

What can you learn when you really want to shit? I've been waiting for this for ten thousand seconds! It's about three hours...

Of course, if I had done it right away at night, she would have felt it instantly and helped me, but... I just decided to pump up my will, my fortitude!

And, as you can see, I somehow learned to control ki with the power of thought...

As I watched the stone-faced Shizuka change my diapers, I wondered if there were runes that removed dirt. If not, she will soon create them

...

A month has flown by, a lot has happened during this time, but let's start with less important things, slowly moving on to more important events.

I have learned to lift my body and now I can sit, also my body is able to stand, but I can't walk yet, my body is too unbalanced and clumsy, but I am already working on it!

My snow leopard clan has been slightly wiped out and I am now a slave of the wolf clan, no longer a tribe, but a clan! While I was meditating, there was a lot of life outside!

Shizuka made me a new rattle and now I'm not bored. I was more shocked by the fact that she gave me a gift, I thought that she didn't care about me, it turns out that she cares about me, although in her own way. And it's kind of cute...

Instead of opening my ki channels one at a time, that is, one at a time, I decided to slowly open them all at the same time. The process is slow, but the most important thing is that it has already begun! Thanks to the meditations, thanks to them, my speed of development is faster than that of other children and teenagers.

Why don't parents teach their children meditation if it's so beneficial? Well, still, not everyone wants to sit on their ass straight and be focused most of the day, even some adults can't, let alone hyperactive children.

And, finally, the most important news of the month!

I started to eat more, regular milk is not enough for me now, so Shizuka cooks porridge for me and feeds me with a spoon!

That's all the interesting news for this month...

Oh, and my dad died during the operation to save me, my mother survived, gathered the survivors and returned to the clan. A day later, all the surviving snow leopards and those in the clan fled somewhere to the south, taking all their valuables with them.

That's how my clan lost to the wolves, who were bigger in numbers and stronger, but I have to say, the wolves suffered much more damage than we did. Somewhere over half of the wolves died at the hands of my clan, and most of them were killed by my mother!

I learned all this from Shizuki's words, when I just said "mommy" and she seemed to explode, I haven't heard so many words from her in a month. She wasn't mad at my mother for the death of the wolf, no, Shizuka genuinely admired her...

I thought I would finally know my mother's name, but, no, Shizuka didn't mention her name, only mentioned her nicknames, "Blood Queen", because her snow-white hair was soaked with blood and changed color to scarlet, "messenger of death", where she passed, Mom always left behind only the corpses of enemies...

In general, they made my mom angry, very much. Dad also showed that he was angry, but if Mom fought with relatively weak opponents, that is, carried genocide, then Dad took on strong opponents and let Mom arrange a massacre on the battlefield.

The wolves only won thanks to a third party, the head of which was at the fifth stage of the highest level of "kouranbe", the same stage as my father, right... My dad was a relatively recent breakthrough who had been in stage five for decades and was on the verge of breaking through to stage six.

During the battle, and he was fighting against two martial masters, my mother was also in the fifth stage, he was on the verge of life and death, and the wolf still made a breakthrough and killed my father and wounded my mother.

After the victory, the leader of the third party who had broken through to the sixth stage created his clan and annexed all the allied tribes to himself.

These are the pies.

On the one hand, I'm going to kill him 100 percent for raising his hand against my mother, and on the other hand... On the other hand, how do you do it?

All I have to do is wait, grow, train and train again.

To accumulate hatred, anger, rage inside me, and then, one day, I will definitely tear it to shreds...

No, with this revenge I will become completely crazy, it is better to forget about revenge for a while and live a normal life. There, all sorts of normal things to do, like, train until you lose your pulse, meditate until you're blue in the face, cultivate to the state of "die all living things" and things like that.

And, everything was just beautiful and wonderful, the birds were singing, the sun was shining, the sky was blue, my life was a continuous holiday!

Until I learned to walk...

I wish I had shown my first steps to Shizuke... It would have been better if I had continued to lie in my crib, no, I had to get up and go somewhere.

Seeing me stand up confidently and stand firmly on my feet, Shizuka admired me, and... She started playing with me, although in fact she decided to train me. Well, okay, that's a strong word, it was just a normal warm-up disguised as a harmless game.

After all, the foundation is an important thing, and the sooner you create it, the better it will be in the future, but... Not at three months!! Although it's my fault for showing too much...

The games were interesting to some extent, but they required a lot of body movements and effort from me.

Here's one of the games, called "shooting gallery". I'm standing five meters away from Shizuki, and Shizuki is crouching and throwing small balls of fluff at me, my job is to dodge.

And it would have been all right if they hadn't hit so hard...

No, she doesn't like to abuse babies, it's just that I didn't cry the first time and all this time I showed myself as a little genius.

Soon I came to my senses and tried to cry, but she gave me a slap and said "don't pretend", I didn't listen and ended up getting a stronger slap... I didn't take any more risks.

Still, I'm a very malingerer, I can't be an actor, it's good that I didn't go to Hollywood...

The second game, "run, bitch, run." Shizuka puts a sheep costume on me, puts on a wolf mask herself, and... She runs after me, saying "I'll catch up with you, I'll eat you!", if I slow down, she pinches my buttocks and I speed up again...

The third game is relatively normal, just a small set of exercises that are disguised as a dance.

I have to admit that out of all the games, dancing is my favorite! Why? Because Shizuka dances with me. And it's not because her breasts jump so merrily during movements, no, it's just that I like dancing... I started to like it after Shizuka danced...

There were a lot of games, but these three were the ones that got the most attention.

The first one developed coordination of movements. The second speed and endurance, and in general, running is good for health. The third one pumped up flexibility, agility and a sense of rhythm.

Shizuka is just a wonderful teacher, she didn't have to go to shinobi, but to kindergarten, to look after the children, such a talent disappears...

Remember how I regretted starting to walk early? After a couple of months, I stopped regretting it and started enjoying these games... Until he showed me that I kind of knew how to talk.

Sometimes I think that stupidity is not a part of me, but the main component of my personality...

That's why the first sentence she heard was my Russian swearing?!

It's a good thing that Shizuka didn't understand anything, but just took my words as attempts to start talking. But the very fact that I say strange words inspired her to bring new training to our "games". Now I was still practicing my language and learning to read...

But my doubts that I was an idiot were dispelled by an incident in which Shizuka learned my ki volume.

Now I'm finally convinced that I'm not an idiot, I'm just a little dumb.

To be continued...
