Wish of Little Partner

 

Calamity Beast Casparleague’s POV

 

“Nyafufu… with this, I’ve also joined the ranks of the strongest magical beasts!” (Casparleague)

While my partner Haru is breathing softly in bed, I gaze at the moon visible outside the window and smirk to myself.

With the current me, I’m sure I could even defeat that Henwen. If I could grow big like Kaa-sama, that is…

“Well, well, since I have my partner Haru, I can grow big anytime!” (Casparleague)

Even though I tried to sound tough like that, I know very well that without constantly touching Haru to receive mana, there’s no chance for me to fight alone. I also know that the current me is not strong at all. But…

“I-it’s fine… Haru calls me his partner and treats me very preciously.” (Casparleague)

One year ago, Henwen, a white pig magical beast, suddenly appeared on Morn Island, Kaa-sama’s territory. Henwen was as big as Kaa-sama, and even though Kaa-sama fought with all her might, she couldn’t win, and then… in the end, she was killed while protecting me. I just trembled, unable to do anything, and took off running while Kaa-sama was being eaten by Henwen.

…That’s right. I abandoned Kaa-sama and ran away. But, it couldn’t be helped! I was small, powerless, and there was nothing I could do!

After that, Henwen started eating the creatures on the island indiscriminately. Our precious companions, who lived together with us Casparleagues. One by one, the creatures were eaten, leaving only me and a few animals. There was nothing left to do, and I even thought about escaping from the island. But, whenever I reached the edge of the island, my legs would tremble and I couldn’t move. As if whispering to me to avenge Kaa-sama. Yet, I was so scared of Henwen that I couldn’t even look back and just stood there, unable to do anything.

That was when it happened. When I met my partner, Haru…

“Nyahaha, I was really surprised at that time… I tried negotiating like that with no real hope, but Haru fought against that Henwen for the sake of a magical beast like me.” (Casparleague)

Haru came to the island seeking the other form of the Calamity Beast Casparleague… the ‘Jet-Black Shield Casparleague’. So, making that the condition, I urged him to fight alongside me against Henwen, and he really did fight.

It’s unbelievable, isn’t it? Because even though I’m small, I’m still a magical beast, right? Normally, humans would try to kill me. But Haru came with me to face Henwen, appeared gallantly in front of me, and protected me.

“I wonder if he knows just how happy I was at that time… He probably doesn’t, huh…” (Casparleague)

Watching Haru sleep with a happy expression, I chuckle softly.

Kaa-sama always used to say, ‘Humans are enemies of all magical beasts’, ‘Even if you defeat one human, thousands or tens of thousands of them will attack, so never fight them’, ‘If you ever encounter a human, run away immediately’. She always drilled that into me. But you know, Kaa-sama, there are some humans who are kind to weak magical beasts like me, who need me… such wonderful people exist, you know? That’s why I want to stay by Haru’s side forever and ever. After all, I am Haru’s one and only partner.

That being said…

“…Sometimes, Xandra gets jealous of me, you know.” (Casparleague)

I’m a magical beast, so there’s no way anything like that would happen with a human like Haru, but before I know it, Xandra glares at me with those sharp eyes… W-well, of course, if Haru wants me, then… um… I wouldn’t be opposed to it, but, yeah… I mean, I look like a kitten, and if I were to become like that, I’d have to transform into a human-like form… but if I did that, Haru would definitely freak out, right?

I would absolutely hate it if Haru disliked me, and I’m super happy with things as they are, so yeah… I’m fine just staying like this. Besides, Xandra is Haru’s fiancée, but his partner is me and me alone. So…

“Haru… you absolutely can’t cheat, okay? If you make someone else your partner, I won’t forgive you.” (Casparleague)

I wriggle into the sheets and, lying on Haru’s stomach, mutter softly.

To stay with Haru, I’ll conquer this labyrinth… no, I’ll go anywhere, and I’ll fight any enemy. Haru said it too, but thanks to the ‘Title’ we obtained together, I’ve become really strong. I’ll make sure you never regret making me your partner, okay?

“Good night, Haru.” (Casparleague)

I give Haru a little kiss on the cheek, then slowly close my eyes.

Haru… let’s be together forever and ever.
