Defiled Hero Chapter 014

Defiled Hero

A Place to Live

「......Icha, yoi?」 (Little Girl)

「It’s Izayoi.」 (Izayoi)

「Icha......yoi.」 (Little Girl)

「......Izayoi.」 (Izayoi)

「......Ichayoii.」 (Little Girl)

「............Ichayoi.」 (Izayoi)

The guildmaster prepared a place for us to live.

Located at the opposite side of the guild building, it was a rather secure home with a garden.

「The gryphon, would it be fine for it to not be in the house?」 (Izayoi)

「......Family.」 (Little Girl)

「If it’s family, then it can’t be helped.」 (Izayoi)

「A-as I thought, you’re going to be with the gryphon for a long time, aren’t you?」 (Lilia)

Even now Lilia is afraid of the gryphon.

「Don’t tell me you’re also thinking of staying with me for a while?」 (Izayoi)

「I’ll be monitoring you as much as possible since you are an untrustworthy person.」 (Lilia)

Although it’s really bothersome, I’ll have to endure it, huh.

「If something gets in my way, I’ll remove it.」 (Izayoi)

「Remove?! Coming here and making a serious threat, can you win? If I call for help do you think you can win?!」 (Lilia)

At that moment, the gryphon entered the s.p.a.cious entryway that was seemingly created for it.

「Wait a moment、I’ll really call for help, you know? D-Don’t ignore me.」 (Lilia)

The inside of the room was completely clean, including furniture and the like.

「Please listen to me, hey...... Izayoi-san?」 (Lilia)

「What does this gryphon eat?」 (Izayoi)

The girl’s animal ears had drooped down, and she was restlessly looking around the room.

Her face was expressionless and both of her animal ears slightly moved in an alternative fas.h.i.+on, I wonder how she’s thinking of answering.

「......Eats anything.」 (Little Girl)

「*Kueh!*」 (Gryphon)

‘If it’s food it’ll eat anything!’ I thought to myself as the gryphon let out a cry.

Although I’ve never actually seen a gryphon before, it unexpectedly had a high level of intelligence.

「Please stop ignoring me Izayoi-san! ......Ichayoi-san?」 (Lilia)

「Eats anything, huh......」 (Izayoi)

I s.h.i.+fted my attention to Lilia. Her face lit up. She had a cheerful expression that had a “Paaa” noise to it.

「Does it also eat people?」 (Izayoi)

I turned back my gaze, and asked another question of the girl.

Her animal ears continued alternatively moving without changing, and closed her eyes with an awkward expression.

「......Eat people?」 (Little Girl)

「*Kueh?*」 (Gryphon)

The gryphon had thought about for a few seconds.

「*Kukeke!*」 (Gryphon)

「......Relatively tasty, it said.」 (Little Girl)

「I see, tasty, huh. That’s good eh, go ahead Lilia.」 (Izayoi)

「It’s not good! I’m not going. I’m still a young 16 year old you know?」 (Lilia)

「Don’t worry. I’m also about 16 years old.」 (Izayoi)

「Please don’t think of grouping me together with someone like you!」 (Lilia)

「*Guruu...*」 (Gryphon)

「......Hungry, he says.」 (Little Girl)

「I see. Alright then, the live feed is――」 (Izayoi)
