“I’ll play with you later.”
Yu gets off from Shiro’s back when they have get out of the wild forest. Shiro who doesn’t want to leave, entangled his tentacles to Yu. the only thing that makes him held back is Yu promise that he will play with him later. After that Shiro dived back to the ground.
“Yu, why this forest doesn’t have a lot of creatures?”
Nina used her 【awareness】 to the limit and despite the size of the wilderness and the forest it is empty.
“It’s because this forest was just planted recently. So there is only a little numbers of creatures in it now. I think in the future they will start to come.”
“Namari!”
From the far plains then a group of people show up and they also noticed Yu.
“Look! Look! It’s the king!”
“ah, finally you’ve come my king!”
“Namari-chan, my king, welcome!”
The group that is coming is made of children in the front, some has ears on top of their head signifying the beastmen race. Behind them, the children of the dwarves with pale and gray skin can be seen.
“Wait, Namari! Hear me, give them candy!”
Marifa commands was a bit delayed and in that seconds, the children have flocked towards Yu and grouped around him. Marifa tried to separate them but it was futile as more children comes and jump at Yu.
“Get away from Odono-sama! Here, I have candy over here!”
“Candy?”
Everyone point of view instantly moved to the cloth bag that is held by Namari. As he moved the bag from his right hand to his left, all the children eyes are following after the bag.
Namari then put his hand inside and takes out a candy from the bag. He put it inside her mouth as his mouth raised a smile when the sweetness of the candy melted in his mouth. Yu can clearly hear the children swallowed their saliva. Namari then looked at them with an evil smile.
“If you want some candy, come and get it!”
“Wait for me! I also want candy!”
“Me too!”
“Namari-chan, wait!”
More than half of the children then start to chase after Namari. Even some of the fairies was drooling from their mouth and start to follow him.
The rest of the children that isn’t chasing after Namari looked like they have something to say as they look at Yu, Nina, and Lena alternately.
“What is it? If you’re not going, you may not get any candy.”
“But… king…. Today…”
The beast children are looking at Yu with a sad face. The words that they want to say wasn’t coming out so their eyes started to become watery. YU then stroke their head lightly and put up a calm smile.
“You know; I will be staying today.”
“Oh, really?”
“Really?”
“Is that not a lie?”
The children then asked with a voice that carried happiness within.
“Now, go chase after Namari.”
Hearing Yu words, the children nod and run after Namari. Several children however decided to flock around Nina and Lena.
“Nee-chan? You’re a human right? Please don’t hurt us.”
It was a beast boy that is asking at Nina with full of fear in his eyes; even his tail is tucked in between his leg.
“I will not hurt you. I’m Yu’s friend.” (Nina)
“…a genius like me won’t bully a weakling.” (Lena)
“Really?” (beast boy)
“Yes, that’s the truth.” (Nina)
“It’s just my mom saying that my dad is on a journey but I know the truth. The humans killed him.” (beast boy)
“It’s alright. Now go play with Namari.” (Yu)
“Yes my King! Later then!” (beast boy)
The children then move away. Yu somehow when talking towards the children has a hint of kindness on them.
Although the storm has passed but the danger hasn’t ended. Just when the first wave has gone, the second wave is incoming. The second wave is young maiden group. They are all coming just like the children previously. Beastmen, dwarves, all of the girls are coming.
“I know something must be happening from the commotion.” (dwarf girl)
“I already knew from the smell.” (beast girl)
“What smell? The only smell I can think of is your beast smell.” (dwarf girl)
“What? Are you trying to pick a fight with me?” (beast girl)
“Rather than fighting why don’t we compete?” (dwarf girl)
“That’s it, my king~ my king~”(beast girl)
At that moment the dwarf girl and beast girl that has a cat ear was trying to hug Yu.
“Aw! It hurts! What the heck? Who’s’ that?”
“Don’t touch my master with your dirt hand.”
At that time Marifa is hugging Yu and taking him into her protection from the rest of the girl.
“Who are you telling us what to do?”
“I’m a servant of my master!” (Marifa)
