So I'm a Snake, Who Cares?

I barely confirmed one title.

──────────────

[Title] Big and Cool Snake

──────────────

What an intuitive title.

Only then did I realize how my mother and father came together.

Medusa Mom was, to put it bluntly, probably a 'face-con'.

"How can a snake be that handsome?"

That's right.

Polaris Serpent was more handsome than any monster I've seen.

The reason Deshnan creepily said it was 'beautiful' wasn't just because he was a pervert, but because it was actually beautiful in appearance.

Even excluding the eyes and scales that shine like starlight, its perfect sculptural beauty seemed to steal one's soul.

It's also enormously big.

It's definitely huge even compared to Medusa Mom, so I don't know how they even met.

Even the spiders were surprised by my father's appearance.

The ones that were slinking backward stopped in their tracks.

As if their souls had been stolen.

It was at that moment that my father's tail moved.

It was a light swipe, like a person swatting a fly.

Kwaaang!

I floated up and landed from the impact of the tail hitting the ground.

Looking back, all the spiders had converted from 3D to 2D.

It meant they had been flattened.

A familiar thrill ran up my back.

Tail pancaking wasn't a unique skill of just Medusa Mom.

The surviving spiders finally started to flee.

My father didn't chase after the spiders indecently.

He just slightly opened his dignified mouth.

Light starts to shine from inside his mouth.

I don't like doing this repeatedly, but once again a thrill runs through my whole body.

It's because I've noticed what he's trying to do.

No way, that's something only allowed for dragons, not snakes.

Kiiing!

A beam of light spewed from my father's mouth and burned the fleeing spiders.

That's definitely a breath attack.

"It's a destruction beam!"

Pelerian exclaimed.

No, a destruction beam is cool in its own way.

Come to think of it, the golems in Pelerian's dungeon also had the destruction beam skill.

Could those golems shoot such beams too?

"It probably wouldn't have that much output. More importantly, it's certain..."

Pelerian's tone was amused.

"It has a magical charm. It's probably a unique ability of that serpent."

No matter how handsome my father is, there was no reason for spiders of a different species to freeze like ice.

Pelerian seemed to see the reason as the Polaris Serpent's ability.

"It's probably a mental ability related to fascination."

Of course, it didn't work on me who has the Indomitable trait.

My father looked down at me as if seeing something strange.

Is it strange that I'm not fascinated by his appearance?

Or has he recognized that I'm his child?

My father lowered his huge head and came close to me.

He's even more handsome up close.

I thought my appearance was cool for a snake, but it's trivial compared to my father.

"Be careful. Though it would be useless if that guy decides to do something."

Pelerian gave advice that was worse than not giving any.

Even if I use my strongest technique, Heavenly Thunder Spirit, it would just tickle my father.

That's how overwhelming the power difference is.

But for some reason, I wasn't scared.

That's because I couldn't feel any hostility from him.

The emotion in my father's deep blue eyes was clearly curiosity.

He flicks his tongue, shururit.

Being a snake, I can understand the meaning of that action.

He's smelling.

Father, I have returned.

I tried to look at my father's status window all this time.

As with Gunter, I focused my eyes and concentrated.

But it was useless.

As if he had firmly closed the door of his heart, I couldn't even know my father's level.

"Shururit."

I also flicked my tongue similar to my father.

Somehow, I feel a sense of warmth.

Is it because our blood is connected?

Father, your son has returned here.

「The bloodline responds.」

It wasn't a misconception.

I relayed the message I just heard to Pelerian.

"Bloodline response? Your mother, the Medusa Serpent, wasn't originally a monster that properly raised its offspring... Is it because this one is a different breed?"

It seems my father has recognized me.

I sensed my future.

Like Bowingie, Big Eyes, and Big Head, I too will now ride on my father's back.

Then there would be nothing to fear. As long as we don't meet Gunter!

But the happy future I dreamed of didn't come.

「Polaris Serpent feels fear.」

「Bloodline response is terminated.」

My father raised his head as if startled.

And he started to fidget as if embarrassed.

He turned his head as if looking for someone.

Don't tell me he thinks mom is around?

Before I could deliver the sad news, my father suddenly turned his body and started to flee.

Where are you going!

I instinctively tried to chase after my father.

But maybe because of the difference in weight class?

My father was incredibly fast.

Not only that.

Whoosh, and my father disappeared.

He was nowhere to be seen.

There's no way he could hide that huge body, but it feels like he evaporated.

After looking around, I asked Pelerian.

'Did he teleport?'

Don't tell me father was also a Magic Serpent.

A high-level magic snake...

But Pelerian firmly denied it.

'Teleport was a high-level magic that could be used by only a handful of magicians even in my time. There's no way a snake monster could use it.'

He might be able to use it!

When I asked what happened then, even Pelerian couldn't answer clearly.

"If it was invisibility, we would have felt its presence... Try using magic detection."

I did so.

But there was nothing particularly visible.

I pondered for a moment and decided to take it lightly.

I'll find him again sometime.

If my father was trying to eat me, that would be different, but if he ran away because he was scared, there was nothing for us to be afraid of.

Dreaming of a future where I ride on my father's back someday, let's go back for today.

Looking back, Spot was so scared that he had his head stuck in a rock crevice.

I pulled Spot's tail.

Spot jumped up, recognized me, and started licking my face.

'Let's go back for now.'

Anyway, we have some harvest.

[Unripe Root Fruit of the World Tree]

──────────────

Two fruits.

I wonder what these are that's making the monsters go crazy.

I should try eating one.
