Uuu…
Uuu.
“GURUuu…”
I can’t believe I perford so horribly in front of dad…
He patted on the head as if nothing was wrong, and I ended up wagging my tail as a result, but… I was shocked. Who could’ve
thought that crab would pull off such an underhanded trick at the end?
Uuu.
I can’t call Gastra stupid anymore.
Even though I’m supposed to be the older sister who should protect him!
Sigh… What to do? Dad’s not around because of the eting. Hmm?
Is that a friend I sll?
Well, dad is busy, so I’m sure it’ll be fine if I go out and play. Wow, they’re running really fast on two legs.
Oh! They might know of a way to run on two legs!
If I can learn how to run on two legs, I’ll be a lot more like dad!
Kicking off against the branches and passing through the grass, I chased after the two-legged friends.
Huh? Where did they go?
“…And just when I was wondering who was following us.” Suddenly, I was taken by the neck.
Hey, stop it! “GURUuu.”
“Oh, sorry. This isn’t how a lady should be treated.” L-Lady!?
“Woof!?”
Gently, I was brought back to the ground.
Whew, as I thought, I just can’t be at ease unless my feet are firmly rooted on the ground.
“That’s right. You might be small, but you’re a wonderful lady.”
Oh! So I’m a lady!
“Let introduce myself, friend. I am Mido. Mido of the werewolves, also known as the tyrant.”
Mido, huh.
He put back down gently, and he doesn’t seem to be a bad person. I guess I should at least rember his na.
“Woof!”
Cynthia!
“I see, so your na is Cynthia. What an odd na. Was it an elder who nad you?”
Hmm? Elder? What’s that? Is he talking about that wrinkled green guy?
“Woof!”
My dad nad ! My na ans ‘Lady of the Lake Shore’!
“Oh, so you’re dad nad you. He seems well-learned. I would like to et him, but…”
Hmm? Oh, right!
“Woof!”
Teach how to run on two legs!
“A way to run on two legs? My, you ask so hard requests, Lady Cynthia. But why ever would you want to run on two legs? Isn’t it faster to run on four?”
Unconsciously, my ears and tail drooped. I wonder if he’ll laugh if I say I want to be more like dad.
“Woof…”
It’s a secret.
“A secret, huh. You know, while I might look like this, I’m a man who keeps his word. Won’t you tell that secret? If I know the reason, I might be able to teach you better than if I didn’t.”
Oh, so that’s why he wants to know. But what to do…
“Woof?”
Don’t tell anyone, alright? Promise?
“Of course, I swear it on my honor. I would never do sothing to embarrass a friend.”
Then I guess I can tell him.
“Woof!”
It’s because dad also runs on two legs! I want to beco more like dad!
“…”
Huh? Why is he so quiet all of the sudden? And why is he making a difficult face? I know he promised not to tell anyone, but surely that doesn’t an he won’t talk anymore, right? I an how is he supposed to teach if he doesn’t talk?
“Friend… won’t you co with for a bit?’
I wonder if dad won’t mind being gone for a while. The sun’s almost set too.
But I also need to learn how to run on two legs…
“Friend, if my guts are right, this might be your last chance to secure your happiness.”
What!? So this is my last chance?
“Woof!”
Let’s go then!
“Ok then, hop on my shoulder.”
I jumped on Mido’s shoulders just like I did with dad.
“Don’t fall now.”
Of course.
“woof!”
◇◆◇
Fast! Mido said running on four legs is faster, but if it’s possible to run this fast on two legs, wouldn’t it be fine?
“We’re almost there, young lady.”
“Woof!”
Right!
The passing wind feels nice. My tail is happily wagging.
We sure ca far though. He better send back ho too. I can go ho on my own, but it’ll take a while by myself.
I hope dad doesn’t get mad. If he does, I’ll just have to bla everything on Mido. Right, let’s do that.
“WOooOF!”
Howls suddenly resounded from everywhere.
“We’re here.”
Hmm? We’ve arrived? I don’t think there’s anything here though.
“Mido of the werewolves has co to et with the friends!”
Mido yelled right by my ears, so my head went dizzy. I almost fell off, but I managed to use my claws to keep myself from falling.
I complained, but Mido kept looking ahead.
Oh? You’re ignoring a lady? That’s pretty gutsy of you! I’ll show you!
I bit him, but then the thickets swayed. When I looked ahead, there were big friends up ahead.
That was my first ti seeing them.
“GURUuu.”
I jumped off Mido’s shoulders.
I slowly walked, taking big strides forward while I looked up.
A friend looked down at .
“Whose daughter are you?”
The words resounded within my head. It seems those words ca from this guy in front of .
Hmm… What do I say to this?
“GURUuu.”
I’m dad’s daughter!
“Fierce fang, do you know of this friend?” Mido asked.
The gray wolf shook his head.
“That would make this one a stray then. I found her in the south, not far from the araneae village.”
What is the na of your father? Your mother? What is your na?”
Arrogant bastard!
“GURUuu.”
Dad is dad! My mom is Reshia! I’m Cynthia!
Tell him! I tried to tell Mido, but when I turned, I saw him crying.
Huh? What’s going on? I made Mido cry?
That is not our na.
“So this child really is…”
Soone picked her up and raised her like a pet.
The gray wolf in front of bared his fangs.
Huh? W-Wait a mont, isn’t this a bit scary!?
“There is no one from around here who would dare to do such a thing. Doing so is the sa as a declaration of war, after all,” Mido said as he wiped his tears.
Huh? Is this wolf mad because Mido is crying?
Is it my fault? Huh?
“But there is soone who ca here recently! Those goblins!”
Mido’s fangs are getting bigger. Huh? Even his body is getting bigger!? Why!?
Then the answer is clear
“…Unforgivable!! Unforgivable, those beasts!!”
That’s a scary pressure, Mido. My ears are ringing, and my tail is shivering.
“I’m gonna kill every single one of those gobs! They will pay for the sin of trampling on our friends!!”
Hmm? Goblin? Is he talking about dad? “Woof!”
Stop, Mido! I love dad! My dad is strong! So don’t do anything!
“Don’t worry, little lady. I am also strong… I am the strongest of our tribe. I am the tyrant, Mido! Just wait here, ok?”
Don’t turn your back on ! Hey, Mido!
Huh? Where did he go?
Calm down, friend.
The gray wolf spoke again. Yeah, that’s right, stop him!
“You think I can calm down!? I’m going to bloody those goblins this instant!”
I’m saying we will also co with you
Mido stopped for a mont, but in the next mont, he burst out.
“Woooooof! I am glan, friend. Right, the enemy of a friend, is the enemy of all. I told him to co here in three days. Let’s kill everyone.”
Huh!?
He’s not an enemy!
“Fierce fang, I know I’m being selfish, but can you take care of this lady here? Can I leave it to you to teach her how to live as she should?”
Rest assured, I shall do as my friend asks
“Thank you, friend! See ya, little lady. I shall wipe away all the sha you’ve gone through!”
Everything happened so fast, by the ti I ca to, Mido was already gone.
W-Wait Mido!
Shall we go then, little fang? We have to say hello to your elders.
I’m going ho!
Trying to resist, eh? What a cheeky brat.
The gray wolf carried by the neck with his mouth.
Resistance was futile.
