- 322: The successor of ‘By the roots’
We are going slightly back in time.
Accurately speaking, to the time after I -Kuromiya Haine- had witnessed Sasae-chan turning into a God Hero.
Such a meta way of explaining things in terms of story is not really that desirable, but in order to make it easier to understand, I think it is better this way.
***
“Well well, she really has grown well.”
This was after the surprise of Sasae-chan becoming a God Hero and turning into an adult.
Finished confirming the power up of the God Hero form, Sasae-chan herself and her relatives were in the middle of giving a review at Sasae-chan’s sudden growth.
“Truly well grown. Sasae-chan, haven’t ya gotten bigger than me?” (Yoneko)
The one saying this was her cousin Yoneko-san.
She was holding the well-ripped bust of adult Sasae-chan as she fondles it.
“Yeah, I don’t really understand well-dasu. It be a truly unknown feeling-dasu yo.” (Sasae)
Sasae-chan gave that impression towards the feeling of having her own breasts fondled.
It can’t be helped. That incredibly flat plain had suddenly become two big mountains after all. It is as if your body had suddenly been placed something on it, so the feeling of incongruity that comes from it is certainly something that would perplex someone.
Even though Yoneko-san is by far the one with the biggest breasts from the current and previous heroes, Sasae-chan surpassed even that.
“Breasts bigger than mine; I have never seen that before, so it be natural that I be interested in it~. In my family they all be big, but adult Sasae-chan be a cut above the rest~.” (Yoneko)
“Mom, I also wanna fondle~!”
“Me too~!”
Yoneko-san’s children were also interested.
Sasae-chan suddenly grew after being given a part of Mantle.
This growth is not a natural one but a temporary one. However, if given time to grow normally, I wonder if she will end up having this figure?
If that’s the case…Sasae-chan has incredible potential as a woman as well.
“Ara…now that I think about it…” (Yoneko)
Yoneko-san stopped fondling Sasae-chan’s breast and had moved her attention to Sasae-chan’s beauty.
“W-What it be this time-dasu ka?” (Sasae)
“I felt like I saw the adult face of Sasae-chan before, but I remember now~.” (Yoneko)
Yoneko-san says.
“This Sasae-chan looks exactly like when Grandmother be young~.” (Yoneko)
“““Eh?”””
The one who reacted the most at this was the very person, the Earth Founder Oba-san.
She is the grandma of both Sasae-chan and Yoneko-san.
“Don’t say stupid things, Yoneko! There not be a single time in my life I have had a spaced-out face like this-sa ne!” (Oba-san)
“Aw aw aw….!” (Sasae)
The Oba-san objected more than expected, and the adult Sasae-chan got scared by the pressure of this.
“That ain’t true~. Well, I myself haven’t seen Sobo-chan in her active days, but I seen it once a long time ago. A portrait of when Sobo-chan was young.” (Yoneko)
“Wa?!”
“It be one that was decorating the art museum of Ishtar Blaze, but fer some mysterious reason, the next times I went there, I couldn’t find it anywhere. But I really remember it vividly. That’s why I can say fer sure that Sasae-chan resembles ya~.” (Yoneko)
“Ya, ya saw that?! Even though I immediately bursted into the place after I heard that they had brought it out!!” (Oba-san)
You did something like that, Oba-san?
On top of that, the Founder Oba-san makes a difficult expression as she faces me, and then gestures me to come.
“Hm? What is it?” (Haine)
She grabbed my collar and whispers to me.
“Keep it between us. It be true that this Sasae does resemble mah young self.” (Oba-san)
“Seriously?” (Haine)
“Seriously-sa ne. When I saw that first for the first time, I felt like I be looking at a mirror…… No, I been thinking that way since long before. I have 10 daughters and 84 granddaughters, but…” (Oba-san)
There’s so many?
Is this the breeding power of Ishtar Blaze?!
“The one who resembles me the most be Sasae-sa ne.” (Oba-san)
Hearing this from the person herself, I for some reason had shivers run down my spine.
The Oba-san was known in the past as the earth hero, ‘Taker by the roots’. She is the hero seven generations ago and the accomplishments she has gotten are the very definition of legendary.
The number of monsters she has cut down in her active days were the highest and her military records were also the highest of any. Even within the conflicts between humans, she would rampage without showing any mercy, and I heard that she has made the blood of the heroes of other churches in her generation rain.
She was the one who had been the longest time active from the heroes. Normally, a hero retires around the age of 20, and yet, she continued being a hero even when she was 20, and even when she had married and was pregnant, she continued being a hero, and then, she finally retired after her daughter had grown to the point where she could succeed her as a hero.
After that, all the earth heroes have been her daughters or granddaughters.
The legend among legends within the earth heroes among that had overwhelming influence even in posterity -that is ‘Taker by the roots’.
“You are saying Sasae-chan resembles you?” (Haine)
“Yeah. Now that I think about it, I was also absent-minded when I be young. People normally made fun of me. But when I think about it now, it be exactly because I be absent-minded that I didn’t have anything obstructing my sight and was able to persistently chase after what I could see. I think I was that kind of child.” (Oba-san)
That’s exactly how the current Sasae-chan is.
Are you saying that the Oba-san overcame this and became a hero that cuts down everything?
“That be why I thought this when I saw Sasae: ‘This one has talent’. That there be no doubt she would become as strong as me when I be on my peak. But I thought that would be a lot further in the future. And yet, she suddenly grew into such a beauty!” (Oba-san)
Moreover, when she was in her active days, she had created a grand legend for herself with her big scythe. And yet, Sasae-chan not only has a scythe but also her Golem. She has trained to utilize both the Golem and the scythe freely.
She possesses talent rivalling that of the previous legend and has been loved by Golems since she was born.
If that disposition has bloomed at once thanks to becoming a God Hero…!
“Mugh?!” (Yoneko)
The abnormality had already started.
Hearing something that sounded like a scream from Yoneko-san, the Oba-san and I stopped our conversation and hurriedly turn around.
There, we saw a scene we couldn’t understand.
Sasae-chan had stolen a kiss of Yoneko-san?!
“What are you doing?!”
It must have been by force.
Yoneko-san was hugged tightly and their lips were pressed together; it looked like a snake that had coiled around its prey and was about to swallow it.
But after Sasae-chan thoroughly licked the tongue and lips of Yoneko-san, she threw her away as if she had grown tired of eating her.
“To think I would allow my lips to be stolen by someone other than my husband…” (Yoneko)
“Mom~!”
“Get a hold of yerself, Mom~!”
Yoneko-san was collapsed and the children run to her.
“What are ye doing Sasae?! Are you shameless?!” (Oba-san)
The Oba-san was also incredibly confused.
But there was further confusion coming.
“I-I don’t understand either-dasu… But…but…!!” (Sasae)
