Vol 2 Chapter 11 (1/2)

Dusty, Disappearance, the Weeping Nagisa

“I’m back”

“Master… welcome back” Just like how she had always done so in the past, when she greeted s that I was carrying

Ah~~~ Silent Water was alreadySilent Water standing right there before me, I could feel a bit of happiness inside

“Master, please… please don’t look at Silent Water like that Silent Water would… feel embarrassed”

What’s going on? What’s going on? I kind of got the feeling that Silent Water just got cuter? The old her wouldn’t have said such a thing Could it really be because that after for as on her mind?

“Hah~~ Sorry, sorry Where’s Dusty?” Nor for ly, it wasn’t there

“Dusty is inside Ita bit down today” Silent Water seemed to have read my mind

“Oh? Why? Have you not given it any food today?”

“I have given it food, but…” Silent Water glanced at uess she wasn’t so co that came to her mind

“I’ll go check on it” Why would Dusty be feeling down? Wasn’t she usually very lively and playful?

—————— Living Room

“Dusty~~ Dusty~~ Dusty?” It wasn’t in the living room

—————— Bathroom

“Dusty~~ Dusty?” Not in the bathroom either?

—————— My Room

“Dusty?” Not a peep inunderneath the bed, would it? Was it trying to play hide and seek with me?

“Dusty… are you in here?” I kneeled down on the floor, lifted the bedding and looked underneath the bed, and discovered… nothing?

Staring at the vacant roo on? Where could it have gone to?

I hurried downstairs and asked Silent Water, as in the etables, “Little Silent, have you seen Dusty?”

“Dusty? Yeah, hasn’t it been sitting on the sofa this whole time since you’ve been back? What’s the matter?”

“Little Silent, Dusty has gone …”

“Gone ht? Unless it is because…” It see

“Because of what?”

“Can’t say for sure… It was in low spirits today… it could have gone out for a walk” Silent Water hemmed and hawed

“Ah? Really?”

If what Silent Water said was true, then Dusty could have just gone out for a walk Hahaha, really, I wasa mountain out of a molehill

‘No, if ht, then the lowest-class spirit has indeed run away from home’

‘Why do you say that?’ Freed’s words frightened on He was almost like an omniscient presence in my mind

‘I have decided not to tell you the reason, because if I were to tell you, you and your spirit partner will not be able to forh bond with each other’

‘Why not? Hurry up and tell me the reason As far as I am concerned, whatever your bullshi+t about spirit partners is not nearly as ile strand of hair on Dusty’

Right at this ether flashed across ether, the time I told it stories about the human world… Dusty had joined the family after Silent Water, so it had been with the family for only a short while But in this short tireat joy When I was in a badit, pat it, play hide-and-seek with it, and on Sundays, go outside and have a run with it… All these had already become an essential part of my routine; without Dusty, it would feel like there was a hole in my life

I was obviously happy with Silent Water being around, since I had a companion in my day-to-day life However, I could not be without Dusty – Dusty is part of my family

‘Kid, even though… ack… you are rather loving; if you have ti your bullshi+t happy days, why not spend that time to search for it outside?‘

‘Sorry, Freed! Thanks for reood without you’

‘Don’t… don’t all of a sudden say such disgusting things…’

‘What about me? What about me? Brat, what about me?’ Yalide spoke

‘You, I can do without’

‘I’ll give you another chance to answer ive you a hint: I was the great Demon World Administrator’

shi+t! Even though I didn’t noron, I will have to rely on him in about two days’ time…

‘I can’t do without you too’

‘Then, since I aet a book for otten the name of the book, would you? It’s called “My Master and…”’

‘Don’t you have any sense of urgency? Just as it that just a o outside and look for the lowest-class spirit?’ Freed interrupted Yalide’s sentence

‘Right, really, I alot about it! Why is it that I am always like this?’ I was clearly very anxious, but if I was interrupted, soears and calmly tackle another problem?

‘Based on my preliminary assessment… it’s because there were two sets of memories… Anyway, for now, let’s just hurry up and look for the lowest-class spirit’

“Dusty?” I went to the place where I usually took Dusty – it was ait here to play But for now, there was only the lingering lights frorass in the field a hue of red…

————————— On Main Street

damn it, damn it, where could it be? It’s been two hours I’ve been looking for Dusty for two hours, but why?

Why is it that I couldn’t find Dusty anywhere? Is it really i city?

As I walked along, I inadvertently arrived at the place where I first met Dusty…
