You said you had to change your relationship with Billy......... what do you mean?

Sure, when I first met Dallas, I was talking about Billy's acquaintance, but what makes it so?

"Mr. Billy is a good man!

And, well, Porch loves Billy, and I know this is what happens. It's equal to being fed, but still, it was Billy's favor that made it.

"Billy's animal lovers have certainly been around for a long time. That's enough to create a small protective facility with personal property."

…………

"Isn't that wonderful!

Billy had taught only a little restorative magic about whether there was such a facility, but he didn't talk about it like that.

Porch is pumping and angry, but it won't hurt to hear Dallas talk to the end.

I'll wait for the rest of it. Dallas told me the truth.

"But lately, it turns out it's a superficial camouflage."

"... and that means that something happened that made you decide that?

Dallas nods quietly.

"It was the other day. I received a request for a monster crusade near its protection facility near Regiata. I finished my request and turned to the facility. I pointed my foot at it for a reason. Because I was hearing rumors that Billy was coming to Regiata. Seeing the face of an old friend, that was not enough to take"

"Huh, there were a lot of happy animals there anyway, huh?

"That was the case at the stage of peeking through the thick, high outer walls"

You mean you didn't see normal?

"Why would Mr. Dallas do that?

"The closer we got to the sanctuary, the more animal carcasses we got... You know what I mean? There are so many animal carcasses that monsters can't eat and vandalize."

Porch's anger disappears a little and silence runs.

"I didn't get it. Therefore, as we approached the shelter, we became more cautious. Looking inside the main building, the rearing space and the shelter's rearing space separated, I also thought the worry was worrying. But…………"

…………

"Billy was there. He had one brown spotted wolf from among the animals he was used to. I remember it because it was a rare body surface. Then he took the guy from the shelter and went inside the main building. With a creepy grin that doesn't look like Billy's face..."

Porch swallows a sawdust.

Sure, I've never seen or heard of Billy like that before.

"I have security guarding the facility. I couldn't stay long. I left anxious to report the request and stayed at Regiata for a few days, but I couldn't meet Billy."

"So that's just why Mr. Billy smiled suspiciously, then?

Dallas shakes his head quietly.

I'll tilt my neck, wondering if there's more.

"A different monster, no, was attacked by an animal as he left Regiata and headed this way..."

This is what I mean by rewording...

"Maybe..."

"To the brown spotted wolf......, I saw. I've got three necks anyway... He looked different than Cerberus in rank A. He was a ferocious and powerful animal. Compared to Cerberus, it's not so bad. It was the first time I realized it was an animal after I defeated it. But that is no longer..."

It's a monster, you want to say. Wolves similar to Cerberus with three necks......?

Porch apparently remembered something. Probably the same thing I'm thinking about right now. Naturally, it's something you've studied with me before.

"Whatever, that's all. I saw and fought a different animal, similar to the wolf's body surface that Billy had taken. That's all."

I leaned down to remember for a while and thought. Um, that was definitely about three or four hundred years ago.

"... should have been covered with forced suture marks from left to right or a brand new fur color, starting with the middle neck. Does it not fall into one category or another?

Dallas nods slowly.

"It's a cheap idea, but I also thought I'd been fitted with two necks, so I knocked them out, and then I checked my neck. But there was no such thing. But Azley was right, only the left and right hairs looked brand new.... you know what?

"... Master..."

Porch turns his neck this way and says: That face looks a little sad.... Well, if you're a favored opponent, you should be.

I nod to affirm Porch's idea.

"Oh, that's a chimera. It also makes it feasible at a high level"

"... Chimera? You're not like Kimyra?

"Kimaira type monsters have been around for a long time, but chimeras are artificially monsters...... no, they are listed as one of the methods in the sense of making wesen. Forced suture marks earlier, if you attach the head of another organism, but with brand new body hair…, you can deduce that it was produced in those days."

Porch looks complicated.

Yes, because Porch also knows that this method is possible if it is Billy, the restorative magic authority.

"Probably that head, it was all the same face?

"Yes."

"When wearing the neck of other organisms, there are many failures due to compatibility, and there are many difficult cases as a practical stage. But it's possible with the magic and magic of the developer."

The former makes it a more powerful monster than the chimera that Dallas fought this time if it succeeded. There are many failures for that matter, and we need a lot of experiments.

In the latter case, as long as there is a mother, it is relatively easy to succeed later with healing magic, magic, and the necessary knowledge. …………… the damage to the mother can be serious.

The latter needs to be imprinted, again and again, damaging the animal's mother and "needing neck-bearing evolution" in the mother's brain. Cut and restore the shoulders from the neck and place in the body of the mother the magic that guides evolution and the foreign body that controls bone evolution. The chances of success are high if the neck bone goes to a stage where it is divided into two strands.

Yes, if you use magic while obsessed and Billy is good at restorative magic................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

I gave a brief explanation and waited for Dallas' response to think with a deep nasal exhalation.

"... you think it's Billy?

I told Dallas the answers I would derive from these things.

"Ten, eighty-nine"

"... ok. Let's find out about that here. I'm sorry about today. Come back here any time."

"If Mr. Dallas is here, I'll be there."

"Well, next time, let's go to the Pochizzly Shop."

So you still haven't settled in this city.

By PLA (Resistance) Azit, do you mean that Dallas is in Dallas, moving around the country?

Rarely............... No, after hearing this story, I can't help it, but Porch comes behind me in an unwell way.

Once out of the Colorful Eating District, lay your hands on the head of a leaning pouch.

"Chimera is not a monster. A Wesen who listens to humans. Which means we have that kind of force."

"............?

"A powerful monster cannot be manipulated by black magic. To manipulate, make. I guess that's the conclusion."

"To?"

"Mr. Dallas tells me he used to really adore animals. It was more than a decade ago that all the animals we kept at home were moved to a shelter. I guess Mr. Billy changed by then. … by someone…"

"Maybe.................. that you are being manipulated!?

"Well, you're awaiting Mr. Dallas' report. This is..."

When I show my nickels and teeth and laugh, the look on Porch's face brightens.

"Oh, my God! If anyone's manipulating Mr. Billy... it's bumpy -!

Porch rolling out shrugged, like punching the front leg.

The movement was in a combat posture, but for some reason the tail was shaking.
