Mizu POV

"Lord Mizu, Even you must realise the consequences of your grandson's action."The village chief, the leader of Merfolk, reminded me of my grandson's action."An army wasp is not a creature that can be underestimated."

"Even if it is not a queen wasp, it doesn't make the any less dangerous.With its incredible speed ,senses and deadly poison it could cause a mayhem if let loose."

'I really shouldn't have allowed him to keep that larvae.'

"I know that"I started to massage my forehead."But you do realise the benefits of potentially raising that Wasp."

I could see the Chieftain before me starting to nod his head at the potential benefits for the village.

"I do."

None would reject the possibility of having a creature that could single-handedly destroy towns as a guardian.

As a being that has lived in the Jura forest for a centuries, I knew certain bits of information about the creatures that resided in the forest that most wouldn't know.

Contrary to what most believe Army wasps can form a colony without a Queen at times,so if it was able to convince some of its own kind then then the villages prosper.The village could rely on the wasps for protection and possibly gain the prized nectar of the wasp ,which is said to be able to cure nearly all forms of illnesses.

Something that the even the village chief understands.

"Make no mistake, I understand the possible benefits of raising that creature as one of our own."The village chief said impassively."But chasing that possibility of benefit could very well lead to our downfall."

A sound assessment, if the wasp does attack us it could cause serious harm to the village and God forbid it attracts it's kin in it's destructive, it could spell the end of Merfolk as a whole…

"What do you want me to do then?"I sighed at the troublesome situation.

"I assume you can put it down if it ever goes on a rampage?"The village chief finally got to the matter at hand.

Images of Mikazuki asking me if he could keep the Wasp or not started to flash in my mind.

"If it comes to that, I will put an end to it."

After the whole debacle ended I moved towards Mika's room.

As I entered the room I could see Mika slowly feeding a piece of Bear meat to the Larvae.

"So did everything go?"Mika didn't turn around to look at me.

"As you already expect."

"And ,what am I supposed to expect?"I could see Mika fidgeting slightly, something the larvae picked up as it nudged Mika.

'Well that's an interesting development.' I observed the larvae as it crawled onto Mika's lap.

I moved closer towards my grandson and started patting his head.

"That, I will help you raise and train that creature."

"Thank you."Mika turned towards me with a smile adorning his face.

"Now don't get some idiotic idea and end up naming it."I sternly warned Mika.

"I won't."

"So then, I suppose you are ready for what's to come."

"Sorry,I don't quite understand."Mika looked confused at my words."What do you mean by what's to come?"

I looked at the larvae on top of Mika's lap that would soon grow up into a deadly Army Wasp.

"You are the reason I agreed to help raise this creature.It was you who brought it here,so it's existence will be your responsibility.It's actions from now on will be your responsibility be they good or bad."

I waited for a moment to let him understand the situation he has placed himself in, to realise his actions.

"Actions have consequences.One should only take action when they are prepared to face the consequences, if not they simply shouldn't take any action."

Realisation dawned upon him,he seemed to understand what I am trying say.

"Should that creature take any violent or unnecessary action , it will be your responsibility to put it down."
