Chapter 103 (2/2)

“Yes I orried for nothing”

“Mo and see what kind of pet ani suspicious right now, but worrying about him wouldn’t make a difference

We just had to stick to e’re ht now

That’s e cao and see Leo’s pet

No, rather, to hunt

“You ht?”

When I mentioned the pet ani Duke Carter had been raising ever since he was a cute child”

After answering, I briefly recalled the description of the ‘white-yellow deer’ in the novel

It was five tiht and as hard as a tree

It couldn’t care less about any boulder as it could pierce anything with its antlers…

“Well, rather than calling it a pet aniht be better to call it a petan ‘animal’ would make real animals feel heartbroken

And the rew serious

“I never thought that Leo was keeping one”

He spoke grimly Then, he ih

“Meanwhile, I couldn’t even protect , bitter voice

With his head dropping as he looked at the ground, his dark blue hair shook slightly

Like a droopingbranch

I stared at Cassion like this, but in a flash, I swung ht for his neck, but he quickly grabbed round, he suddenly turned to me

Beneath that mask, his surprised face was apparent

“Suddenly, what?”

Instead of answering the question he asked in surprise, I just shrugged

Then when his grip loosened on my wrist, I opened ed, so”

“If this is your way of cheering h?”

“Really? I consider this to be h”

I hummed as I answered, but no reply came back

As if he was absolutely at a loss for words

With a smile now, I continued

“Well, whatever the past held, you eventually survived and got to know ine that you no about his pet, right?”

“……”

“How about it? Right now, it feels a little fairer, yes?”

There was a brief stretch of silence between theiven, so the silence was inevitable

However, the silence was not eaze was clear

“I wonder if it’s just ‘fair’”

Soon, a small, belated reply came back

“Then?” I asked

“Even when you’re next to me, it sorinned

Not bad, that confidence he had in me

No, it wasonce, I then turned away and glanced towards the steep slope in front of us It was the base of thethe hunting grounds

However, the designated hunting ground was mainly just the forest, which had a relatively shallow slope No one would co that they were just meant to remain in the peaceful forest, there’s no one ould wander into the wild ht?”

I asked, glancing sideways at Cassion

He nodded slightly

As he turned swiftly to the side, I watched his forrown a lot, haven’t you’

I felt like a proud guardian watching her newly grown-up child

It was only a few sters on the street

But he could catch my wrist like this now, and he wasn’t even nervous about the rugged ?”

“Hrown up”

“What are you…”

“Now then, let’s go”

Without being able to ask me further, Cassion just nodded perplexedly

As my eyes curved into arcs, I could alotten wrinkled

I was the first to take a step forward

Ha And with a short sigh, Cassion followed

In no tireen terrain

Dense trees and bushes soon obscured our figures

And so, there was so that I didn’t notice either

There were people observing us

Kururuk

The small bird’s eyes rolled around

The world that those spinning black eyes could see was round

Even as it looked at the thicket under which Rosetta and Cassion hid

Flapping its stiff wings, the blue bird soared across the sky

“Ku… Kuruk…”

Along with its strange squawking, it repeatedly tilted in the air

Soon, after a few s like an ordinary bird

“Kururuk”

Its black eyes spun once aze, it continued to observe the base of the mountain
