Orc Harem Vol 5 Chapter 7

Chapter 7: An Unexpected Betrayal!? Ork’s Illegitimate Child Uncovered!

.

I returned home, but my beloved Tita and Kururu are making a troubled  face at the mansion’s entrance. They are turning their gaze below. Over  there is a little girl with long blue hair.

She looks like she is around eleven or twelve years old I guess.

There is a small bulge on her chest and just from a glance it’s not  clear whether her body has curve or not. Her buttock also looks flat.

In orc’s perspective, she is outside the strike zone. My mister orc below is also not reacting at all.

Although she has prospects for the future several years later.

But, mysteriously I’m feeling something like nostalgia from her.

(I wonder what her race is.)

She is surely not a human. Her blue hair is just too vibrant and not  from hair dye. It’s impossible for human to have blue hair. There is no  blue color in human’s pigment.

And most of all, the mana her body contained is out of the norm for a human.

「What’s the matter you two?」

「Err, that’s, she is」

「How should I say it, it’s hard to explain……」(Kururu)

The blue haired girl slowly turned this way. And then she saw me. Her eyes sparkled. She is a lively and adorable girl.

「Yaaa♪ Marle can finally meet you! Otou-san!」

◇

We moved to the living room. The girl is clinging on me like a koala and won’t let go.

「Rub rub rub rub, Otou-san, you have similar scent like Marle.」

It can’t be helped. I sat down on the sofa while she is still clinging on me.

Tita and Kururu sat in front of us.

「Ork, you will explain this right?」

「Even though Ork-san said that Tita-san is the first while I’m the  second, how can you have a daughter who is that big already? You lied to  us.」

I have gotten used getting cold looks directed at me recently, but the cold looks today is much more horrible than usual.

It’s like I’ve committed adultery.

Even I who thought that cold look is a reward instead can’t have my fetish rear its head in front of this.

Unbearable.

「……Umm, I don’t have any recollection about this. Before meeting Tita, the most that I did was having sex in brothel……ah」

Their gazes have gone past being cold into sharp gazes that are like blade.

Crap, I carelessly confessed that I once went to a brothel.

For a male, going to places like cabaret club or soapland isn’t a big  deal at all, it’s not something that worth mentioning. But for female,  it’s already an act of cheating. I remember my senior in the previous  life telling me that.

It looks like the same also apply with these two.

「In other words, that girl is from a prostitute that Ork impregnated?」

「That’s very brutish. I misjudged you. To think that Ork-san will pretend to not know your own child.」

「Wait, wait a second, do you two forget Evol Orc’s trait!? Even Tita  who is a high elf reborn and Kururu who is a shrine maiden of the sword  takes a lot of time for the strengthening to work until you two are  ready to bear my child. It’s unthinkable that a prostitute has become  able to bear my child already.」

The mother’s body will break if she is strengthened in one go, so  Evol Orc’s ability in the end only strengthened the woman bit by bit by  making love over and over.

「For an ordinary person, even if I make love to her every day it will  take decades until she’s ready. In fact it’s possible that she still  won’t be able to give birth in her whole life.」

「Somehow, that sounds authentic.」

「Now that Ork-san say it, Ork-san is perverted but, you aren’t a  scum, so it doesn’t sound right that you will discard someone after  doing it once. You should have taken responsibility if you have a  child……」

「Certainly it’s like that, but the way you two said it!」

It felt strangely hurt.

「Then, who is this child? Err, Marle-chan right? Umm, can you tell us who is your mother?」

「Marle doesn’t understand anything complicated! That’s why, Marle will leave it to Merlin!」

After saying that, she took out a necklace with blue jewel on it from her chest.

「Eh, isn’t her necklace shining?」

Mana heightened at the same time when Kururu said that.

An image is projected to the air from the blue jewel that is attached to the necklace.

The face of a man in the prime of his life is projected there.

If there is a ranking for a glum and cool looking uncle, this person will surely take first place.

His true identity is a capable adult and my teacher. The great sage Merlin Enlight.

……Or rather, the communication magic that I actualized with  extraordinary effort by using expensive medium with the assumption that  it will only have single use is reproduced like this. Furthermore it has  image attached. My pride got a bit wounded. No, I guess this is exactly  why he is the great sage, Merlin Enlight.

『Looks like your daughter has arrived there safely.』

「Sensei, what in the world with this situation?」

『I tried making your daughter because it’s necessary for your  healing. Now then, I have told you what I should. This magic is  consuming horrible amount of magic power, so I don’t want to make a  pointless talk. I’ll cut off the connection.』

「Please tell me a bit more!」

This person has been too smart for his own good since the past. To  put it briefly, he has the tendency to think that anyone he talk to has  the capability to infer everything just from a single hint that he said.

『So only a bit is alright?』

「I’m sorry, please give me more details.」

『Then say that from the start. Then, I think that to heal you, it  will be more constructive to create the magic circuit first before  transplanting it into you.』

「Yes, that sounds right.」

『She exist for that.』

Surgery is necessary.

That’s what I thought.

But the problem is, even if you remove the broken magic circuit  inside my body with surgery and implant a new magic circuit, magic  circuit is a physical thing but also a spiritual thing at the same time.  The difficulty of this method is horribly high.

What’s making it even more troublesome is the difference in magic  circuit between individual is terribly striking. It’s nearly impossible  to create exactly the same magic circuit like mine.

Those two problems have to be cleared, but the current me don’t even understand how to accomplish both.

That’s exactly why I relied on the great sage.

『When I was faced with the abyss of death, I found the 【endlessly  evolving slime】 in legend in order to survive. I improved it and on top  of that transferred my soul into it to obtain perpetual youth and  longevity. This body is nothing more than a slime that has infinite  adaptability power taking human shape.』

「Yes, I also know about that.」

『Then you understand the answer right? I perfectly reproduced my  former body using the infinite adaptability of the endlessly evolving  slime. In that case, it’s also possible to reproduce your magic circuit  using the same slime that made my body.』

I finally noticed at that point.

If it’s the cell of the slime that can even reproduce the  transcendental magic circuit of the great sage Merlin Enlight, it’s  possible for it to also reproduce my magic circuit.

『That girl is the spare slime body from the excess when I created my  body. I embedded a part of your soul and flesh into it just in case I  needed to curse you to death……well, the ingredients were the endlessly  evolving slime and you, so in a sense she is your daughter.』

I understand that reasoning.

If a slime cell with infinite adaptability is given my bodily  information, a clone of me can be created. After that I’ll just need to  transfer its magic circuit into me.

What I don’t get is…….

「Why is the endlessly evolving slime that absorbed my bodily information ended up into an adorable girl like this-!?」

Or rather, didn’t he say something horrible like a reserve for killing me with a curse just in case so casually just now!?

『Who knows. But well, the only thing I know for sure is that it seems  your bodily information and soul information that I provided were  lacking. Thanks to that her magic circuit is crude and still not usable.  Always put her at your side until I go there. With that she will absorb  your waste product, leaking mana, and soul wavelength which she will  study even more. Before long the magic circuit for the transplantation  will be completed.』

That’s nice and all, but what will come after that just won’t leave my mind.

If this kid grew and perfectly reproduced my magic circuit, that  magic circuit will have to be extracted and transplanted into me.

In other words, there is only meaning from that.

「You’re going to kill this girl?」

『Rather than killing, I’m only going to extract what’s necessary from  her, and with that her cells will be reset. From the beginning she is  that kind of thing. If you feel that is too harsh and you don’t like it,  then don’t get attached to her by any means.』

With those words as the last, the image that is projected in the air vanished.

Originally it was just a slime’s cell that absorbed my flesh.

I understand that reasoning but…….

I looked at the blue haired girl who is hugging me.

Cute.

Yes, she is really cute.

「Otou-san, is the talk over?」

Don’t get attached to this girl while she is staying with me?

That’s…….

「Totally impossible.」

I’m an orc who relatively like kids, so I can’t have any confidence for that.

◇

The next day arrived. I immediately left the city.

I have to do two things. Going to orc village and arrange for cow  milk’s supply during the festival, and going to Forland Kingdom to have  Rurine give her stamp of approval for the new sweets.

It will be very busy because I have to go to two places.

It will need time for the rumor of Rurine giving her rave review for  the cake to spread. And so, I sent a letter to orc village so that they  will make their preparation while I’m heading to Forland Kingdom first.

As always, my magic circuit is still in a bad state, so Kururu and Tita are driving the Orc Car in turns.

Right now Kururu is the one driving. I’m using earth magic to make  dolls one after another which served as rehabilitation for me too.

This activity is nice for my rehabilitation, because it demanded precision the most.

「Otou-san, Marle want a cat next!」

The blue haired slime girl, aka my pseudo daughter who originated  from an excess of an endlessly evolving slime that absorbed my cell,  Marle is making a request to me. I did as she asked.

「So cute!」

「Marle-chan really like Ork huh.」(Tita)

「Marle love Otou-san.」

By the way Marle is sitting on my lap. She is squealing merrily when  she took the cat doll. It’s great that she is happy. I have become able  to control my magic considerably even using the sub magic circuit.

Marle is so cute sitting snugly on my lap.

Although, I’m also fiddling with alchemy. I’m not just simply  enjoying her cuteness, I’m also running my mind with several thoughts.

Most likely the base of her personality is me. After all she has absorbed my flesh and soul.

Then how did it form a girly personality like this? And how did it  lead to her perceiving me as her father? There should be an answer for  those questions for sure.

In this world, there is assumption that led to the result.

It will feel disgusting, or feel like the carpet is pulled from under my feet if I don’t find out that answer.

「Marle just won’t separate from Ork.」

「Don’t get jealous Tita.」

「I won’t get jealous with a little girl like this you know!?」

「She isn’t as small as you said though.」

After all she has the appearance of an eleven or twelve year old.  Normally kid at that age will be angry if they’re treated as a child.

But, perhaps because she acted even younger than her age suggested, she feel like an even younger child.

「Ork, don’t tell me-」

「No, there is no chance of that.」

Well, in the first place I’m a virtuous orc where those who aren’t of  age (below fourteen year old in this world) is outside of my strike  zone.

In addition to that, that kind of feeling doesn’t well up at all inside me toward this child.

Perhaps the cause of that is because she has absorbed my flesh and soul, but it also felt like I really have a daughter.

No, more than how she felt like my daughter, there is this feeling of  nostalgia that I felt from her. It gave me a relieved feeling.

「Ork doesn’t feel like how when you usually seduced a girl. Perhaps  that’s why this girl also feels like a daughter for me. Ork’s daughter  is my daughter after all……and I won’t be able to have a child with Ork  for a while yet.」

She absolutely won’t get pregnant until her body finished getting strengthened by Evol Orc’s ability.

Even before I released the seal’s third stage, Tita’s strenghtening  was far from finished. I thought that she will need one year at the very  least. And yet I have become even stronger now.

Even I don’t know how much I have to make love to Tita until we can make a child.

「I want to have a child.」

「So Ork is thinking that.」

「I have told you before right? I want us to have time as lover for a  while, but one day I also want to properly have the crystallization of  our love.」

「I-is that so, umm, that makes me a bit happy.」

Tita’s face went red. After that she averted her face. Her gesture is really adorable.

「Uuu, it’s fun driving this car, but it’s not amusing that I can’t join that kind of conversation.」

Kururu has a serious personality despite appearance, so only her fox ears and tail are reacting.

「Ah, sorry. I’ll take turn driving. That’s, I just said something a bit embarrassing. I can’t keep staying here.」

「Then, I’ll take up that offer. I’ll stop the car when we come out to a spacious spot.」

Like this our journey went on.

Marle kept sitting on my lap. She raised her face and looked at my face.

「What’s wrong?」

「It’s fun watching Otou-san’s face!」

Marle’s small hands patted all over my cheeks. She is smiling cheerfully.

What’s this feeling welling up inside me?

I can’t hold back this feeling of adoration from flooding out.

I hugged her tightly.

Aa, I know. I can’t allow myself to get attached.

I know that she is just a slime cell.

And yet, she is just so adorable.

As I thought, this is hopeless sensei.

Surely I’m going to love this child.

If I have to explain the reason for that……it’s unfair, a little girl is just unfair.
