Chapter 136 - 53. Life Rank
I’d forgotten that my body’s certain capacities had been enhanced by the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual, easily handling Rafael the Dragon-man, but I never expected that even demons would acknowledge me.
"If I remember correctly, demi-humans can reproduce with humans, right? What does this have to do with constitution?"
However, Fisher caught on to the blind spot in her words. Previously, he had researched hybrid offspring and had also encountered instances of marriage between two demi-human races resulting in offspring on the South Continent. This method of reproduction had its patterns; it generally followed the mother’s side but also mixed some traits from the father.
For example, if Fisher and Rafael were to have offspring, the children would still be of the Dragon-man Species, but they would be distinctly different from other Dragon-men – possibly a positive or negative shift. Meaning, the child might be stronger than other children of the same race or could be weaker.
Fisher vaguely felt there were specific factors determining these positive and negative traits, but he didn’t fully understand them yet. Although there was no barrier to reproduction between demi-humans or between demi-humans and humans, the probability of producing offspring was still very low.
Like with Rafael, they had been together over a dozen times, and even without any protective measures, Fisher still thought the chances were slim.
"Oh? It looks like you really are a scholarly type, ouch. And here I thought you were just a baddie using research as a cover for other schemes~"
Elliog had finished eating all her food by now. She crossed her arms and fully turned to look at Fisher with some annoyance, explaining,
"Let’s say, for example, a Little Demon and an ordinary Human were to pair up, they could engage in activity a million times and still might not successfully reproduce, because you Humans, according to the reproductive hierarchy, are about... hmm, seventeen or eighteen Ranks below demons. Don’t say I’m discriminating against you Humans, ouch, this is a pattern your own kind has come up with. Although I don’t know if you still are aware of it."
She jokingly drew a ladder-like shape with her hands, then represented Humans with her left hand and Demons with her right, stretching the distance between the two hands far apart.
