Chapter 33 (1/2)

The Uncle and a Day in Haifeng Town

“Wowowow, really, he’s soooo cute, He ge.”

Little Elan put Jinwen on top of her head.

“Hmph, bendaye is not some sort of pet!”

The tiny Jinwen staggered a top of Elan’s hat, proudly puffing out his chest.

Although he said that, his two ears were unconsciously twitching.

“Do you have a tail?”

Ka Luona also drew close to observe Jinwen.

Jinwen used his index finger to rub his nose.

“Huw.a.n.g, of course I’ve got one!”

From Jinwen’s back, he shook his s.h.a.ggy, brown tail.

“Jinwen, are you, uh, hungry?”

“I-Idiot, don’t just shake your head so easily! Wuaaa, I’m going to fall!!”

I used my hand to prop up Jin Wen who was sliding off Little Elan’s head and placed him on the bed.

“Hu, hu. You really scared me to death.”

Jin Wen, in the shape of ‘大’, lay down on top of the white quilt.

“S-sorry.”

Little Elan apologized, fl.u.s.tered.

“h.e.l.lo, Little Jinwen.”

“h.e.l.lo——ack, ghost!!!!”

Jin Wen, upon being frightened by Mademoiselle Phantom into a tizzy, quickly buried his head into the quilt. He covered his head with his hands and curled up in a ball.

Are you an ostrich?

But as expected, all girls like cute things. Even I would be interested in a palm-sized golden haired beast boy with a difficult personality.  The only things that sucks is that I prefer cats, and this boy seemed to be a dog type.

“Am I being hated?”

Mademoiselle Specter rubbed her head and said.

“That’s only natural. Don’t use your hair to cover your face.”

I couldn’t help but admonish Mademoiselle Specter. Mademoiselle Specter’s original appearance was extremely scary, especially at night.

Mademoiselle Phantom flung her head and flipped her hair behind her back, immediately turning into the gla.s.ses-wearing, knowledgeable, and elegant beauty.

“Jinwen, Jiejie doesn’t look like a specter to you, right?”

Jin Wen had tears in the corners of his eyes. He lightly lifted his head to quickly sneak a peak.

“Right.”

Mademoiselle Specter extended her index finger.

“In that case, let’s shake hands.”

“I’m really sorry for just now, that bendaye was scared.”

Jinwen took steps forward, and suddenly tripped over himself. In a moment, he used his two hands to brace himself against Mademoiselle Specter’s index finger. But as a result, he couldn’t grab onto it at all, and he fell down on the quilt.

Jin Wen rolled into a standing position and used his hand to poke Mademoiselle Phantom’s fingers.

“Ghost aaaaa——”

Strictly speaking, Little Elan is the real ghost race. Mademoiselle Phantom is a specter.

“Jinwen!”

Little Elan offered to go and make food. Ka Luona would also use her theoretical knowledge from her home economics cla.s.s to help. Although they did have the ability to make the spicy mapo tofu soup, like they did last time, letting them practice is a good idea. While they were cooking, I planned to bring Jinwen onto the street for a walk.

“Hengw.a.n.g, what are you doing with me w.a.n.g!”

Jinwen’s lingering fear of Mademoiselle Phantom remained. He scowled miserably while speaking.

“I’m taking you into the town, so I can make you some clothes to wear.”
