"Mm... I understand. From now on, I'll only do that to Kiana!"

Zerg lowered his head, thought for a few seconds, and came to that conclusion.

Kiana had said he could not do that to other people, but she had not said anything about herself.

So if Kiana got hurt again, he could still heal her this way!?

As the first kind person to feed Zerg, he did not want to see Kiana get hurt.

Kiana Kaslana.EXE stopped responding.

"Only do that to Kiana from now on..."

"Only do that to Kiana..."

"Do that to Kiana..."

Kiana Kaslana's thoughts wandered into uncharted territory.

W-W-Was that a confession?

The white-haired little ball's mind was in complete chaos.

She could not help steering her thoughts in a strange direction.

If something as intimate as that was only done with her, then wasn't that a confession?!

Such a small, adorable child confessing to her...

"Why have Kiana's eyes turned into spirals?"

Zerg noticed that the girl before him had spiral eyes.

"How strange."

The Swarm Overlord could not understand.

"...Zerg, I think you should think about what you just said."

After a moment of silence, the Abyssal Hunter said this.

Her kin had never received any education, so he did not know what his earlier actions and words meant.

If this world had laws—

Kiana Kaslana might be thrown in jail for being a lolicon mage.

People could not do that. At the very least, they should not.

"What did Zerg just say?"

The little child's eyes were full of enormous confusion.

"Zerg."

Skadi bent down slightly and looked directly into her tiny kin's eyes.

"What you just said might be misunderstood as a confession."

That was what she told him.

Though she was somewhat aloof by nature, the Abyssal Hunter was not made of wood.

"A confession? What is that?"

The Swarm Overlord did not understand the concept.

Was a confession something edible?

"...Cough, cough, Skadi."

After seeing Zerg engulfed by the shadow of an adult, Kiana Kaslana's ability to think finally returned from that unknown realm.

She deliberately—or perhaps unconsciously—pulled the little child to her side.

"There's no need to tell Zerg about that sort of thing."

Zerg was still little. It was perfectly normal for him not to understand what his words had meant.

Good thing she was the upright and honorable Kiana Kaslana!

Otherwise, Zerg might already have been forced to ride the big truck.

Skadi's gaze at the white-haired little ball instantly became the look one gave trash.

Trying to take advantage of Zerg's innocence and ignorance?

"Zerg definitely won't do that to anyone else from now on!"

She puffed out her chest, ignoring the Abyssal Hunter's gaze.

After all, he was a child. It was best to... teach him properly.

She was confident that she could teach the little child not to do anything similar to anyone else in the future!

Skadi's gaze at the white-haired little ball became the look one gave non-recyclable trash.

So he could only do that to you, huh?

Where was your conscience?

The Abyssal Hunter felt that Zerg should be kept far away from this person.

Kiana Kaslana shamelessly pretended not to notice Skadi's stare.

She would take responsibility!

Such a small child deserved the protection of the People's Shield, someone like her!

"Kiana, I think I need to look through this world's laws."

If someone like Kiana could not be thrown in jail, the Abyssal Hunter felt she might as well return to her own world.

It might not threaten Zerg's life, but it could threaten his safety in other ways.

That woman had lured Zerg into her home. She was clearly going to force him to ride the big truck!

Skadi had already imagined what might happen.

Kiana Kaslana looked away.

To be honest, she also felt that what she had just said might be enough to send her to jail.

But there was no helping it. Zerg was too cute.

After their intimate contact earlier, the white-haired little ball found herself unable to accept Zerg doing the same thing to anyone else.

"Oh my, it's already dark. Time to go to bed."

The white-haired little ball changed the subject incredibly stiffly.

Night had already fallen in her world. It was time to get into bed.

"Sleep?"

Zerg blinked his adorable eyes.

"Yes, it's time to get into bed, Zerg. If children do not sleep, they won't grow taller."

Kiana stroked the little child's head.

Zerg was so small, soft, and fragrant. He would definitely feel comfortable to hold.

Using him as a body pillow would surely be a heavenly experience.

She could not help thinking that.

Then the Abyssal Hunter could not stand it any longer.

She had to stop a certain Kiana before she attempted a crime.

She scooped Zerg up in one motion.

"I think it's far too dangerous for Zerg to sleep with you, Kiana."

Skadi looked at a certain someone.

"Huh?"

Kiana Kaslana was unconvinced.

She was a member of the Kaslana family, the righteous People's Shield!

How could she possibly do anything strange?

She only wanted to hold Zerg while sleeping!

"If we were still in Ægir, you'd already be in jail by now."

Skadi took a few steps back.

The white-haired little ball was momentarily speechless.

"What is jail? Can it be eaten?"

With the tiny Zergling in her arms, the two little creatures wore equally vacant, adorable expressions.

"Zerg, jail cannot be eaten, but it can protect you."

Skadi lowered her head as she spoke.

Holding Zerg in her arms relaxed her mind.

The immense pressure once brought by the Sea God Consciousness had completely vanished.

The Abyssal Hunter could not help revealing a faint smile.

"Protect Zerg?"

The little Swarm Overlord did not know what kind of creature could threaten him.

At least so far, he had not encountered anything capable of threatening him.

Neither Kiana Kaslana, nor Bronya whom he had met before, nor Skadi could do so.

Could jail be some incredibly powerful creature?

Zerg's eyes widened slightly, as though he understood something.

"Heh, I see you aren't much better yourself, Skadi."

Noticing the Abyssal Hunter's faint smile, Kiana Kaslana crossed her arms.

They were all birds of a feather.

Who was she trying to fool by acting so high and mighty?

"I'm not like you, Kiana."

Skadi did not accept this slander against her reputation.

Though she had once been an Ægir electrician girl and was now an Ægir superhero, she had always walked the straight and narrow. Unlike Kiana, who belonged in jail.

"Heh."

The white-haired little ball merely smiled without saying anything.

Look at that white hair. Wasn't she smiling happily?

"Hey, Skadi, give Zerg to me."

If she did not sleep while holding Zerg tonight, Kiana felt that she might not be able to sleep for three days and nights.
