Chapter 53: your friend
“Jibodan!”
Ferris, the fox girl, ca running out of the house. She looks like she’s in middle school or high school, but she moves like a primary schooler.
My babysitting duties are still going on. I can’t believe their nerve. The nerves of this fox clan are as thick as a clammy rope.
But this ti, I was saved.
As expected, I am no longer taken to the girls school, but I am still called upon from ti to ti to escort Ferris when she walks outside.
Today, too, I was summoned in the middle of my part-ti job, and I slipped out of the Minotaur manager’s office, poking him on the shoulder, and ca to pick her up at her residence. The manager sent off like he knew what I was doing.
Ferris walks through the streets, and I follow behind, admiring her bushy tail and fox ears.
She seems to have stopped wearing her beret. I don’t know why, but she must have had a change of heart. She looks prettier with her ears showing.
Thanks to her taking here and there like this, I was able to learn a lot about the city. I wondered where our destination would be today.
“＃＆△〓◎○＃、※○☆。 Jibodan ◎ ン〆◎△★◇?”
Ferris bought sothing at a stall where fragrant smoke was billowing up.
She sat down on a bench in the street and offered a skewer of at as she spoke to . Thank you. Mogu mogu. It tastes like a tare. It’s delicious!
In addition, she took sothing from her bag on her shoulder and offered . In her hand was grass. I don’t know what the Minotaur manager told her, but I gulped down the grass……. It tastes gooey. Delicious!
Ferris is sitting on a bench, paddling the air with her feet and munching on a skewer of at, just like .
I wonder if she feels as if she’s playing around with a large dog. She has no wariness of at all.
She even started to feed enthusiastically like this. I’m sure soon I’ll be asked to give her a hand or sothing. I’m very good with my rod, wanna try?
Not only have I done nothing to make her like , but I’ve also written pages and pages of traumatic scenes in her naive youth, so why is she so fond of ?
But this innocent curiosity of hers about is going to be extrely important from now on.
Suddenly, Ferris looked up at . Both of her cheeks were puffed up from the at she had eaten.
I point to her half-eaten skewer and tilt my head to the side.
Ferris sees my gesture. She swallowed the at in her mouth and then said.
“Tapua.”
Tapua. So this is a food called tapua.
I continued pointing to the grass I was familiar with.
“Marijuana.”
I see. So this grass is called marijuana.
……huh…wait? Is this that cannabis marijuana? Seriously?
The manager has been eating marijuana all day …….
No, it’s possible that it’s just the sa word……but if you ask , this grass is very stringy and sweet. The shape of the leaves is also very similar…….manager is also very cheerful all day. I an, does marijuana work if you eat it raw?
Well, whatever.
I’ve been loving this grass lately too. I’m basically a carnivore, but I enjoy this grass like cat when eating grass. *Munching*. It’s delicious!
Hey Ferris, you can’t eat that.
I took the grass out of Ferris’s hand, who was sniffing it with curiosity, stretching out her tongue. “Oh……” And you can’t make a disappointed noise like that.
After finishing the at skewer, Ferris licked her fingers and stood up.
She started walking again, leading .
Along the way, she points out this and that to and teaches the words. I nod my head each ti.
“Dren” yes.
“Misakura.” Ok.
“Saatafoof” alright.
“Bahtan Rikonoaregyor” yeah, that’s a bit much.
And with that, today’s babysitting is over.
Our destination today is a park on the other side of town.
It is a botanical park where autumn roses and cosmoses are in bloom at this ti of the year, and Ferris wanted to see the garden. She really likes flowers, doesn’t she? It suits you.
And Butcher was the one who accompanied her.
The flowers are ruined.
Anyway, I’m totally being treated like a dog here.
Taking the dog for a walk in the park. So elegant. But in reality, it’s a Butcher, but she doesn’t seem to mind that much. The people around us in the park were very concerned, you know?
I’d like to ask for a leash if possible. I get sowhat excited when I imagine Ferris with a leash treating like a dog and dragging around the city.
Ferris leads on a brisk walk through the city at dusk.
As I follow behind her, her bushy tail and pointy ears are emphasized, making her look like an amazing vixen. I want to take her ho and lick and groom her all night long in my prison.
……I wonder what it is about watching Ferris in a calm mood that makes feel strangely protective of her. When I see other beastn, all I want to do is grab their tails and put them on the floor.
I wonder if it’s because I’m a forr mber of the Fox team, or if it’s sothing as simple as that.
If that’s the case, then the fox saved my life. Thanks to them, I didn’t lose my mind over eating Ferris, and as a result, I have a clue to my freedom.
I didn’t think that I would still be under the care of Fox after becoming the Butcher. Well, you never know what the world will throw at you.
Before nightfall, I dropped Ferris off at the mansion.
I stopped in front of the entrance with Ferris.
She looks up at and says goodbye.
Normally I would say goodbye here, but now the pieces are in place. Let’s do it.
I point to a spot in the doorway. Ferris sees , smiles, and says.
“Feigusu.”
I points to another place.
“Limpio.”
One more thing.
“Suburu.”
Continue the rotation of pointing to these three places repeatedly.
“Feigusu, Limpio, Suburu….. (Fe)igusu, (Li)mpio, (Su)buru……”
Eventually, Ferris looks up at and opens her mouth excitedly.
“-Ferris?” (Fe-Li-Su)
I nodded.
“○§＃＆＃☆○ジボダン、▲□、フェリス▼◇＃!”
Ferris thrusts both fists to the sky and yells sounding very happy. It’s almost like the gut pose of an owner when a parrot finally starts talking.
I learned the sounds of the words she taught and connected the first letters to make a word. This is an incredibly roundabout way of talking. But there’s nothing else I can do.
This was part of Abigail’s plan.
First, I need to get to know Ferris better.
I want to get to know her friend, the brown girl.
She’s a brown girl who’s going to be the key when I remove the self-destruct control device. My milestone, for the ti being, is to create a path to her. I haven’t decided on the final step yet, but my mission is to have a conversation with the brown girl, make friends with her, and deliver the information I’ve gained to Abigail.
When Abigail ca up with this plan, I feared that I might not be able to get invited to Ferris’ house anymore. because of the outburst, I had at the girls’ school just before the expedition.
But Abigail assured that I would be invited again.
She said that in the end, I had done my duty, and more importantly, Ferris had been able to show off in front of the whole school.
After all, it seed to have contributed greatly to Ferris’s status. Givaudan’s value had increased rather than decreased.
In the first place, when they invite , the butcher, to their house or school, I’m not considered an ordinary butcher, and it seems that the perverted fox lady has a very high opinion of .
And so I was invited to Ferris’ house again.
The blonde witch was right.
I’m sure I’ll do as she says from now on.
–Now, this is where it all begins.
I point to another part of the room and start spinning new words.
“U-te-go-ru-aku-“
Ferris knows what I’m doing now, and begins to read them out loud, connecting only the first sounds of the words I’m pointing to.
The words I’m trying to convey are simple. Abigail seed to understand so of the alien languages, and she told that this was all I needed to say to Ferris.
“Bi, na, ku, …….”
Ferris gasped and looked up at .
It ans, “I want to speak.”
Abigail said that when I say this pitiful word, it has a strong impact. Abigail said that every girl’s heart would tighten.
After listening to the whole story of Ferris and , Abigail concluded that Ferris had developed an emotional attachnt to , and if I stimulated her maternal and empathic nature, she would definitely try to communicate with sohow. That was it.
So she would turn to the brown girl or soone else who could use telepathy. Fortunately, the brown girl and Ferris seed to be on good terms. There was a good chance that the brown girl would co.
I couldn’t quite believe that Ferris was starting to feel close to , but Abigail insisted that it was absolutely true.
Because all I had done to Ferris was shoot my liquid in her face, show her my heinous stick at close range, and devour two whole aliens in front of her. I also chased her around the house for days and stood by her bedside for three days and three nights. Maybe even in her dreams. I slaughtered a man in front of her eyes and pulled out his spine. In addition, I may not have been on the best of terms with her, but I almost killed her schoolmates, and almost had a school-wide public play and raw food feast. On the way ho, she had to be forced to perform a sha play, as an added bonus.
It was my opinion that it would be impossible to feel any kind of kinship with .
Well…..as far as I’m concerned, I really haven’t given you a good ti. I’m feeling sorry for you.
But the results are now evident in the pitying look in Ferris’s eyes as she looks up at .
Abigail won the ga.
Abigail is the scary one. Isn’t she really a witch……?
I didn’t wait for Ferris to answer but instead turned back. I don’t understand what she is going to say anyway.
I’m sure I’ll know the winner of this bet soon.
I chuckled in my heart and returned to the butcher store.
