Chapter 406 - Noon at Elkay, I Awake.Chapter 406 – Noon at Elkay, I Awake.
It was now the day after our night of defeating the Lord of the Undead in Elkay,
I had fallen asleep in Tom’s house afterwards and awoke after noon.
「Whoa!」
I jumped a bit after seeing Timi sitting there watching me.
「Alra, you’re awake.」
「Ah, hello Timi…you came to Elkay.」
It might have been the sensing of her arrival that had woke me up.
She was holding on to Shiggy and petted her as she said,
「I have something I must tell you.」
「Hm? What’s that?」
I asked her and,
「ryaaa!」
Shiggy spread her wings and flew towards my head.
Her wings flapped in my face.
「…morning…Shiggy.」
「ryaaa」
While I was fighting, Shiggy had slept the whole time in my pouch. That’s why she was awake so early.
I sat up a bit and held Shiggy in my arms.
I petted her and noticed something strange,
「Shiggy, you look more ‘noble’ than before.」
「ryaa!」
I guess she always thought she looked noble.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut she seemed different from yesterday.
「Hm, what do you think Timi?」
「I see…it’s just as you say, Al. She’s always been noble and god-like to me though.」
「I guess so…」
「What do you think, Femm?」
「Wafffooo?」
Femm was lying on the bed, got up and off, and stretched.
With Femm’s movement, Moofy and Chel also woke up.
「Moooooo」「Piiigggiiiii」
Moofy and Chel also stretched.
Chel moved to beside my pillow and jiggled.
Tom’s bed was somewhere between big and small.
It wasn’t like my bed in Mulg where everyone could fit without feeling cramped.
Femm and Moofy were basically almost falling off the bed.
So I was squeezed into an unsafe position on the bed.
Femms seemed to stretch more carefully than usual, and after that they all sniffed at Shiggy.
「ryaa ryaa」
『Wuff…smells like usual.』
『Cute…Shiggy.』
Femm and Moofy seemed to think that Shiggy was the same as usual. But Chel said,
『Very noble!』
「Well, Chel, you have good eyes!」
「PigGGi」
『You imagined it.』
「Femm, Shiggy’s always been noble. Maybe you think she’s especially noble today?」
「Yeah, just as Alra said!」
『…just like a doting parent would say.』
Femm said flatly, while licking Shiggy.
I guess Shiggy was just growing daily.
Seems like Timi, Chel, and I were the only ones that noticed it.
Femm and Moofy were the ones that didn’t.
The daily changes were very minute. No wonder we never noticed.
「So, aren’t you all tired? Must be hard sleeping on that bed.」
『Enough for me. I could fight a battle if I had to!』
「Moo!」「PigGii」
Seems as though Moofy and Chel were fine too.
Maybe she asked them that because she saw I looked tired.
「Sorry…it was a long fight.」
I pet all the beasts in order.
Timi sat down on the bed and took Shiggy from me into her arms.
「Alra. Seems you were pretty busy yesterday. Why didn’t you call me?」
「The enemy wasn’t enough for me to really worry about it.」「ryaa」
「Hmph!」
I was being honest with her, but she was unhappy.
She probably came back to Mulg in the morning and found Shiggy still gone.
Also, Millia and all the kids from Elkay had also stayed in Mulg.
She knew something was up.
And they had told Millet that the Lord of the Undead was gone and that Elkay was at peace again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSo that’s why she was concerned.
「There were stone statues! Sounds like it was interesting! Different from golems?」
「Yeah, quite different.」
「I want to know more!」
「Well, those…and some clay monsters.」
「Clay monsters!」「ryaa ryaa!」
Her eyes lit up.
Seeing her so perked up, even Shiggy wagged her tail.
「Yeah, there were clay monsters and the enemy turned out to be a demon and a Lord of the Undead. No big deal.」
「Hmph!」
She knew that it wasn’t big enough a battle to call for her, but she was still unsatisfied.
「ryaaa?」
「So, sweet, Shiggy. You make your aunt feel better.」
「ryaaa?」
Shiggy was noble and kind.
I had raised a good dragon. Timi then said,
「So, Alra, tell me what happened in detail.」
「I’ll explain it all later. I have to explain it to Cruz as well.」
「I see.」
「I’m sure that Belva wants to know as well. Kind of a pain to explain over and over.」
「I understand.」
「Moo mooo.」
「Anyway, Timi, you said you wanted to tell me something?」
「Yeah, it’s about a follower of the god of destruction.」
「Moo moo!」
Moofy then bit and pulled my sleeve.
