Chapter 41.5 - Minstrel (1/2)

Chapter 41.5 : Minstrel

Maybe because he was scared of me, Daigan was retracting his words.

「Loves………… Beans? That strange, I though wolf loves meat?」

The little girl seems puzzled.

After placing the soup in front of us, the girl then sat in front of me.

「EH! ? 」

Why did she sit in front of me?

「Hey, you’re a minstrel right? Sing something for me! ! 」

The little girl was looking at me, her eyes filled with expectation. Which reminded me that I disguised myself as a minstrel.

It saddened me to be called as an uncle by her. But then, I might be an uncle from the perspective of the girl at her age.

The song of a minstrel was a song that was retelling a story about a legend which rearranged in the form of song. And that was usually taken from love story, heroic tale, or the tale of this world.

「Sorry…….. My musical instrument is broken in the middle of my journey you see. Thus I can’t sing for you.」

I’m looking at my broken harp.

It’s a lie. I can’t sing, even if my musical instrument wasn’t broken. I brought a broken musical instrument on purpose.

「E~h, bo~ring! ! Everyone is so busy and no one have a spare time to play with me…… Hey, you should be able to tell me some story right?」

I’m bewildered when this little girl saying so.

To be honest, I’m about to use sleeping magic on her but, I hesitate to use such magic to this little girl.

「U~hm, let see……….. Then, shall I tell you the tale of the Thunder Dragon that dwell in the sea of cloud………」

「Dragon of the sea of cloud? That sounds interesting, please tell me!! ! 」

The girl’s eyes were sparkling due to excitement.

I then told her about the story of the Thunder Dragon that I met before.

「E~h, no way. The Dragon gave you its power.」

「But it was an interesting story! ! 」

Smiling as she said so.

HELL YEAH! ! I’m taking a guts pose in my mind.

Because the girl who seems afraid till a while ago seems to enjoy my story.

「Hey, tell me more story, uncle! ! 」

「Uhm, let see………」

When I was about to tell the next story.

「What’s matter, Werewolf-san？ 」

The little girl is asking so to Daigan.

「This smell! ! IT CAME, THOSE OGRES HAVE CAME! ! 」

Daigan was screaming on the top of his lungs.

「Come to think of it, there’s this sweet smell in the air……….」

It was as the little girl just said. There’s sweet smell around the air.

「Kujig the ogre has come! ! 」

It’s completely slipped out of my mind since I was engrossed in talking with the little girl.

Standing up from my chair.

It seems that It’s time for me to make my move.
