Life is a series of robberies.
At first, they robbed me of my life, then they robbed me of my human rights, and then my wheels were robbed. Now, with nothing left, they even stole a shirt that I had hidden. Did I get robbed in my life? They rob me wildly.
I had hidden it well, and in case I got lost, I checked the path again and again in Sen's hand. I believed the system's word that it would save it because it was in a position where I could 'load'…
[(・_・= ・_・)]
Yes, I know. You didn't possess me as a hamster because I wanted you to take it off.
And the ones who robbed me of my clothes were none other than the sorcerers. At Kyle's request, they searched for me, following the flow of magic, and found my hidden clothes in a place where there was a slight trace of magic. Apparently, the skills given by the system lead to a kind of magic in this world, but when the "load" was removed, the remnants of it seemed to be left on the clothes I was wearing. Of course, those who would never dream of the existence of the system seem to believe that there was a mad thief in the Archduke's bedroom…
"I wish you could talk."
Kyle looked at me with a friendly gaze and then sighed heavily. He continued as if complaining.
"Yes. There's no way you, who are quiet and good like angels, went out without a reason. Did someone want to steal you? Or a crazy thief stole something, and you, who are brilliant and intelligent, will get it back…"
—Squeak! (What are you talking about?)
I know how to talk, man. Moreover, I am the crazy thief. Besides, what are all those unnecessary adjectives between sentences? Is it okay for a hamster to have such a bunch of ugly epithets?
"After all, those thieves I met at the beginning…!"
No, no. Calm down and sit down. I went to find them and beat them, but all that came out was screaming.
Anyway, my life is terribly not getting better. I'm a naked option for today's share of 'loading' right now. When I think about it, the taste of rice is gone—no, the taste of walnuts is low.
I beat the walnuts I was gnawing on as hard as I could. The walnuts rolled down the slide and fell among the sawdust.
"Cashew nuts?"
Kyle, who was ready to run to the prison and hang upside down the three idiots who had broken into his room yesterday, quickly approached me. He quickly placed me on the palm of his hand and patted me on the forehead.
"Do you have no appetite? Or are walnuts not to your liking? Can I change it to macadamia?"
Kyle rummaged through the drawer with his unsupported hand, pulled out a macadamia, and squeezed it into my paw. I took it and took a few bites as a courtesy. He smiled as brightly as if he had found a gold mine, but when I kicked him again, he looked at me eagerly, with an expression on his face that had carried all the troubles of the world.
"Where does it hurt? Why don't you have a good appetite?"
Hey, would you have a taste for rice in this situation? He said he wanted to be human, but he never said he wanted to walk around naked. I'm not Adam.
"How can I make you happy? If I knew how to do it, I would spare nothing for it."
Wow, that dedicated declaration. A friendly voice. If you add up the eyes dripping with honey, it is a great trinity. If I hadn't been a mouse smaller than the palm of his hand, I would have been a hundred times more romantic than I am now.
Still, this situation is not as bad as I thought.
I loved the way Archduke Blake stroked me with his melting hand and called my name in a warm voice. How long had it been since I received such an outpouring of love for no reason? Unlike me, who was more carefree than I thought, he seemed very worried.
"I don't want to lose you…"
Leaving Kyle behind me with a heavy sigh, I curled up in his palm and glanced at the book on the desk.
'When did he get that again?'
Apparently, the fact that the wizards had said yesterday that they didn't feel magic from me meant a lot to him.
[Demon beasts grow gems in their hearts, and sometimes the heart itself is replaced by gems.]
'Ours? Is it that important?'
[X_X]
'…Was that the case?'
Of course, I'm an ordinary hamster… No, it's normal for me not to be able to form gems because I'm just a little unusual, but for him, who considers me a demon, it was natural that this was more serious than he thought.
"Don't worry. He said that if you regularly inject magic until the end of the growth period and combine it with wildflower training, it can happen later."
What are you talking about? I don't have it. Don't put anything weird in it. There are side effects.
"I'll do my best. It's too late to release them back into the wild now…"
What do you mean by the obvious? After walking around the field for twenty-three hours and thirty minutes, I would end my life as snacks for other beasts.
"It's a strange thing. I've conquered the North by sweeping thousands of demons, and I never thought I'd be so embarrassed by a single cub."
That's right. Thanks to that, I can't get used to it either. Which Northern Grand Duke takes care of hamsters so frugally?
But seeing that I didn't hate him, I felt a little affection for him, too. I was tired of doing everything by myself. However, when someone who is good to me appears for no reason, how can I not be inclined?
"I don't think I drank water all night, and I don't have a good appetite… Huh?"
Kyle tapped my nose. In my heart, I wanted to kiss him right away, but I didn't want to stress myself out because I didn't have the energy, so I held back.
Okay. Don't kiss more than ten times a day. It's a burden.
By the way, it's a misconception that I don't drink water. To be precise, it wasn't that he didn't drink, but that he couldn't drink. I was thirsty because I was running around yesterday… As soon as he entered the hamster's house, he inadvertently put his front paws in a bowl of water and washed them. You can't even put your mouth in the water where you washed your feet. It feels like licking the floor.
When he was forced to remain silent and looked up at him from afar, he thought for a moment and then summoned a knight to bring Sen to him.
"On the way, tell the rodents to know what else to feed them besides nuts."
A new diet? Good. Let's look forward to an excellent answer from the wise Serena. Please speak well.
Beef? Oh, is the dream too big? Good, pork. Duck or chicken might be fine now. What else is there? Quail? Goat? Maybe shrimp or seafood… Anything is fine. I want you to bring me a lot of delicious food.
It's time to think that the fact that I'm still as small as rat poop is due to malnutrition.
So, protein.
Give me protein.

"I like mealworms, Your Highness."
…One minute! Do you know. Not!
"Or crickets? If you want to train wildflowers, it's better to stay alive even if they're a little withered. That's the best for hamsters, so wouldn't it be similar for cashews?"
"Hmm."
Don't take it seriously, crazy.
Sen adjusted her glasses with a serious face and held out what looked like a menu to Kyle, who took the report with a look on his face, as if he had seen the discovery of the century.
What are you two doing now?
"You can't just eat nuts. It is better to take care of fruits and other things, and since it is the growth period, it is better to take a lot of protein."
"That makes sense. I'm going to entrust the authority to you, so prepare only the highest level. Is it possible?"
No, it doesn't make sense.
You madmen. What kind of worm? What is it? Hate! I absolutely don't like it. I don't even put it in my mouth. If you feed him, he'll scream and faint!
"If we officially start the festival tonight, it will be a bit hectic… Can I go now? If you hurry, I think I can come before the evening."
Kyle held out a bag full of money without hesitation.
"There is no need to save it. What is left is at your own expense."
Sen took another sip and replied.
"I will get all of this money so that I feel like I don't have enough of it, Your Highness. It's a bit difficult to find in the north, but since it's a festival period, I think you can get some fruit…"
"Oh, that's fine. I'll ask the chef for a favor."
…Do you two play well? I would rather go out and play without seeing this or that.
[Miracle Numbers Increased!]
[Current miracle value 7.0%]
In the original, the two people who were stuck in the abyss got abyssed, but suddenly the miraculous figure went up.
Okay. Kyle has to live to buy my miracle shame, but it's difficult if Serena picks up a knife to kill Kyle like in the original.
Whatever it is, it's good, so get along, get along.
Of course, don't buy mealworms.

—Squeak! (Put it away!)
Did you have wheels on your feet, what kind of hamster food do you buy in such an instant? He said he would buy the highest quality! Then it should take at least a few more days, right?!
I jumped up and down when I saw the insects lingering in the rice bowl.
"Look at this. Don't you think you really like it?"
Kyle's face lit up at Sen's words.
It's the opposite, you bastard. Why don't you clean it up right away? Do you want to be hit with mealworms? Don't look at me with anticipation!
I ran away in a hurry. When I turned away from it stuck in the slide, Kyle picked up the cricket with his elongated tongs and held it close to me.
This is crazy! Don't put it on your butt! It's alive! Oh boy! Please!
—Squeak! (Do you want to die!?)
Save the hamster!
'You… Let's see.'
He will definitely return to his human form and take revenge.
