The Magus of Genesis

Episode 15: Habitability/Behavior

"What the..."

Innis shrugs powerlessly as he wipes his zero falling tears with the back of his hand.

"Mr. Innis, why, are you crying………?

Clouding his eyebrows worryingly, Cruse approaches Innis.

"Cruse. Would you mind going home to Nina for a moment?

I stroked that head, and I said.

She walks a little, but honestly nods out the window and heads to the clinic. I did a bit of a bad thing to Nina because I'm probably just in a busy time, but well, if you explain the circumstances, you'll forgive me. Cruse is not a baby anymore, so he won't get in the way of his job that much.

"In the meantime, wipe your tears"

When I took the handkerchief out of my pocket, Innis received it in such a way that it snapped, wiping the gossip and tears.

"Can I sit here?"

"……… if you like."

When he points to the reading desk chair and asks, Innis answers so with a handkerchief covering his face. Well, what a cut out.

"Once upon a time. I have seen several children with eyes similar to yours."

"…… eyes?

As Innis lowered her handkerchief, she gently touched her eyelids with her fingers to check the shape.

"It's painful, I can't help it, but I can't abandon my thoughts."

A sharp gaze shoots me through. If that was magic, it would have skewered my heart with strength enough to think. But I have not lived more than thirty times her life in Dada either. As frightened as that was, the skin on the face was not thin.

"You like Ala, don't you?

A noise rang with Gashan and countless spears jumped out of Innis' couch.

"Protection"

The magic unleashed on him stops pushing his cutting-edge. Wind magic, fifth staircase. It's an invisible little spiritual on the wall that protects itself from all attacks. Well, you don't have to be so uptight, though you're not seriously going to hurt me on Innis.

"... you've never seen me so emotional."

"Ugh! What are you trying to say!?

Innis threw a pillow at me and hid as he nodded over the couch when he grabbed the duvet on the bed.

"Ala and Mel are not as close as you think."

In the meantime, I cut from the trump card.

"…… That's not true."

While raising his low voice, Innis lifts the futon slightly and turns his gaze.

"Nothing. It's not just today. Those two are stuck like that... every day."

Yeah, and I nod. Even I see them almost every day, so I know that very well.

"That one is. … it's just their habit."

"……… What?

Pippin, and Innis's face popped out of the futon.

"There are few four-legged species (Centaur) in the village of Hiiro, so there's no reason not to know. Half sheep (Provato Centaur) want to stick together. They originally live in herds and always act on each other. And when you're in danger, you run away at once."

The nature of this neighborhood was that half sheep looked just like sheep who were on Earth.

"So Mel wants to stick to people right away. Even Innis gets hugged all the time, right?

"That is… well, yes…… I am a woman and I am not stuck with my teacher"

With a half-hearted eye, Innis looks at me.

"That's right."

I looked away and answered it.

"I asked you not to stick with me as much as possible. 'Cause I don't have my reason."

"What?"

Innis finally smiles slightly.

"By the way, this trend is the same for half a wolf (Lucos Centaur). Not as much as half sheep (Provato Centaurus), but to the extent that they don't care if they are intimate, they also live in flocks. As far as I can tell, neither Ala nor Mel have romantic feelings for each other."

Well, I didn't realize that Utah and I liked the water color at all. My tattooing doesn't help at all, but it's actually the information Nina gave me on this matter. Ala and Mel would look great and maybe stick together. I was nicely branded "Savings Hole" by her.

"…… yes, even so"

But Innis's expression is cloudy again.

"You don't mean I look good on Ala. Such a dick...... and"

"He's a four-legged species, and you're human. My physique, my life expectancy, everything is different. I can't even have kids."

To be clear to me, Innis had a wounded look.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

"That's true......! What, are you here to stab Todome!?

"No way."

To Innis in tears again, I sweep my neck aside.

"You said it first. He said he'd seen a kid with the same eyes as you."

Relieved, Innis looked at my left hand.

"I have been married twice in the past. They were both human."

A red, glowing ring fitted to that pharmacopoeia.

"But... the teacher doesn't look human at least"

"When I married the first, I still couldn't take the human form. He looked like a fire dragon."

To my confession, Innis leaked an honest reaction.

"Ain't that a nasty guy?

I'm gonna get mad.

"Anyway!... let me tell you something first, race difference, life expectancy difference is certainly not an easy story... but I'm not talking about definitely being unhappy if it's not a wall you can't cross. I'm ready, but I don't think I need to give up anywhere."

"... mmm..."

Innis nodded in confusion.

"It's not a sudden decision. Looking for happiness between humans is one way to go with it, and it's not just happiness to be with men and women. Next time, you should talk to Yuka."

When it comes to race-to-race love, talking about Utah and water would be more familiar than my example or something.

"…… Okay. Thank you, Doctor."

I know the problem hasn't been solved, but still, with a much better look than when I came in, Innis bows her head.... But I can't believe Innis thought of Ala that way.

"Oh, one more thing, can I ask you"

Innis stopped me from leaving the room.

"What? If you can answer me, I'll answer anything."

Innis turned to me with the most serious look he had ever had and asked.

"Ala, too, I figured you'd prefer bigger tits......?

I don't know.

"Just, well…………………."

"Welcome back."

"Welcome back, Dad!

"Welcome back"

"Brother, welcome back."

"Ah, Seisei, welcome back"

When I got home feeling kind of tired, Nina seemed to have already arrived home from work. Colorful voices greet me.

"Is Yuka and Lynn here too?"

You're worried about Cruse, Lynn hasn't been traveling much lately. Even though I think I went out once in a while, I'll be back in a few weeks at best. As far as I'm concerned, as much as I'm happy, I've come to visit with Yuka so often that I've considered how I should build more of their rooms.

"…… Hmm? Something like a lot of voices."

Take off your shoes and head to the living room.

There, as expected, in addition to Nina and Cruse, were the appearances of Lynn and Yuka.

And one more.

"Uh... who?

To an obviously unrecognizable brown-skinned woman, I leaned my neck.
