Summoned and Unwanted
Chapter 507

507 Zero’s amalgamation sprouting

The librarian, Gusto, became delighted to see a new student visiting the library, but his gaze soon moved on to the insignia and saw a green lion’s head.

“Vincent. Is that you?” Gusto asked.

Vincent took out his hair tie from his pocket and fixed his hair. He rearranged his uniform and replied, “Yes. Getting invited to challenges is annoying, so I had to make the students recognize me after I pass them.”

“Hehe.” Gusto chuckled. “It looks like our only male member seeks peace, not war. I feel proud to have such a model student as this library’s member.”

“...” Vincent didn’t respond as he couldn’t tell Gusto about how unfair it was for Vincent to go all out. Vincent had become too strong to fight against ordinary students.

Vincent went to read books like usual. Fortunately, it only took half a day and more than a hundred books to discover an informative book.

“Red Rock Creatures. This sounds like an interesting read, and it isn’t very thin either.”

Vincent’s hand trembled from excitement as he opened the book. When his eyes saw words and bad images that can be considered art with vague representations, Vincent couldn’t stop grinning.

Kazumi wanted to tease Vincent, but she knew the book nerd Vincent wasn’t too happy recently with the main romance genre of every book.

.....

Kazumi decided to be happy with Vincent. She left his body and perched on his shoulder. [Let’s read it together.] She warmly said.

“Yes, let’s read it together, Kazumi.”

Kazumi never thought these simple words could bring her joy and make her feel like a living person.

Kazumi decided to perch on his shoulder when they read an interesting book together.

The book had a lot of information about critters, such as a variety of squirrels, chickens, small wild birds, rabbits, and a few types of fish. However, one thing was in common between these critters. Every species had one variety with a horn.

The next section was about large animals. It had a lot, such as wolves, tigers, bears, apes, boars, giant snakes, and even crocodiles.

Vincent and Kazumi had the impression that most of the large animals were dangerous. Fortunately, the people of this world with a class are strong enough to protect themselves against a non-magic and non-demonic beast.

There was also information about Cefeye. Vincent was interested in knowing what type of creature it was because he was gifted a Cefeye’s tail to use with the wedding rings as a necklace.

Cefeye has one eye, and its sight is estimated to be around one hundred and eighty radius wide. However, the Cefeye becomes dizzy, and its head starts to hurt when it sees so many things at once.

The Cefeye race is bipedal. Their arms are not very strong, but their legs are.

The Cefeyes are faster than ordinary bipedals because their lower legs have extra joints similar to the hind legs of quadrupeds.

The adults of the Cefeye race are, on average, two feet tall. From their head to their bottom are covered by long hair that can harden and make the Cefeye look like a spiked porcupine.

Each long hair is, on average one-foot tall. The thickness is, on average two-millimeter diameter. But there are certain cases of Cefeye being taller or having longer and thicker spiked hair.

The Cefeye is an aggressive creature because it is angry and stressed all the time. But after almost all the Cefeye on the continent suddenly started wearing skulls to hinder their wide vision, they became peaceful.

Adult Cefeyes are mostly seen wearing skulls of boars and rarely wolves. Smaller Cefeyes mostly wear a rabbit’s skull. The rest of the Cefeye have to cover their heads with leaves until a skull is found.

Cefeyes with a skull on their head has become enamored with the idea of wearing things to the point of approaching humans to steal their clothes.

The more unique and non-plant-based items they wear, the more fame and attention they would get in their large group. However, they do not attack. They intimidate with large numbers and bother humans instead.

However, if one of the Cefeye gets attacked, all the nearby Cefeye will attack with the intention to kill if their enemy resists aggressively.

Female Cefeyes can bear up to twenty babies within three months on average. However, the male to female ratio is more than one hundred male to one female.

Female Cefeyes have a low birth rate, and they become the leaders of the large group because of this. When another female Cefeye is born, a dispute will occur most of the time.

Sometimes the group agrees to keep the female Cefeye. Sometimes they split up and take the baby female Cefeye away. Other times a large fight would erupt to have their chosen female Cefeye lead.

Female Cefeyes have one thing male Cefeyes don’t have. A tail hidden at the rear among the hair. The tail is difficult to distinguish unless it moves.

All the Cefeye’s hair at the back can straighten and become like a spiked porcupine. The tail-like hair distinguishable only because it moves and doesn’t harden and is far more challenging to cut than the ordinary spiked hair.

Vincent closed the book and looked at the necklace with the female Cefeye’s tail and his wives’ rings.

“Now I understand why this tail-looking string costs a lot. It is rare and difficult to get.”

[Yeah. A person must be strong enough to fight dozens or possibly hundreds to get one.]

Vincent yawned and looked at the time. “Time fly’s when having fun.” He got up and continued, “I should prepare to return.”

[It was fun today. It has been a long time since we read a book that attracted your interest together.]

Vincent smiled when he heard how happy Kazumi was today. He placed the book in its place and said farewell to Gusto before teleporting back to team ten island.

Upon his return, Vincent first visited the small garden because he was curious about Zero.

Zero moved its head to see whose footsteps were making the ground faintly tremble.

“Ma...” [Master. Visit.] It said.

Vincent approached and gave Zero a head pat.

Vincent curiously looked at its body and noticed an additional tiny vine on all four limbs with a lighter and more glittery green color than the rest.

The amalgamation trait was working and building a stronger Zero every time it fed on a magic seed.

“You are growing good and healthy, Zero.” Vincent raised his sleeve and continued, “Are you thirsty?”

Zero nodded cheerfully and said, “Th...” [Thirsty. Thirsty.] happily.

Zero was starting to show human-like intelligence and expressions the more it grew.

Vincent used Overheat. He let Zero drink his mutated blood while meditating and using Overflow at the same time. He was still getting used to the abundant mana he absorbed from Tiffi.

When the time was up, Vincent let Zero rest in the garden as usual.

Vincent didn’t see his girls nearby, so he decided to head inside. On his way to the entrance was Jun Ye Rim sitting on the bench with Plow on her lap.

“Mesmerizing as always.” Vincent complimented Jun Ye Rim as he sat beside her.

Plow perked her ears. “Vincent Vincent knows foxes are better than wolves.” *Pho* She happily said.

*Cough* “I meant Jun Ye Rim and not you Plow.”

Plow lowered her ears and became sad.

Jun Ye Rim frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”

“Your hair shines whiter the more of a full moon it is. Sometimes I wonder if you are a fairy instead of an elf.”

[I sometimes wonder if the hair can continue shining when it is plucked.]

Jun Ye Rim placed her unhurt hand on her head. She glared at Vincent as if he was the one who suggested shaving her head and making something interesting out of it.

“Stop flirting with me. Your praises will never sway my heart. You are a man I will never have an interest in.” Jun Ye Rim responded to Vincent with a blush.

“And my hair only reacts to the moon when it is attached to my head. It will become an ordinary hair once it is detached from the rest of my attached hair.” Jun Ye Rim responded to Kazumi’s dangerous thought.

Now Jun Ye Rim knew it was true that Lupa’s tail was being shaved after the fur had regrown to a certain amount. She didn’t want to imagine consistently covering her head like Lupa covers her tail underneath her dress.

*Cough* “How is your arm doing? Does it still hurt a lot?” Vincent tried to change the subject.

Jun Ye Rim looked at her arm. She raised it, yet her hand and fingers barely moved.

“The pain is mostly gone, thanks to Lilith and Iris.” Jun Ye Rim’s face suddenly looked unhappy. “But the guilt is still painful.”

“Guilt? What kind of guilt? We already forgave you.” Vincent responded. He checked her status window and confirmed that her body was slowly on the way to recovery.

.

[Condition] Healthy, Bone Damage (Medium Fractures – Left Arm), Nerve Damage (Partly Paralyzed – Left Arm)

.

“I checked your condition, and it makes me feel guilty that I can’t heal your injury with Minor Heals.” Vincent honestly said with a regretful expression.

Jun Ye Rim, flustered and nervously, said, “Do-do you see my personal information whenever you please?”

“...” Vincent felt guilty for using Inspection as he pleased without any privacy for the target of the ability.

[You know what, Jun Ye Rim. There is a method to get healed in an instant and stop worrying about Vincent checking your condition out of worry. The method is to become Vincent’s...]
