'Would she apologize, or ask us to pay fine for attacking her…', Shin smiled.
Shin wanted to see what she was going to say because it seed as if she was thinking sothing deeply.
It might have been sothing else, but whatever it may be, Shin was expecting her to say at least sothing.
"Will…", she mumbled which Shin could hardly hear.
"Yes?", he replied though probably because he wanted to encourage her to speak loudly.
"Will you really be my friend?"
"…"
After asking that she lifted her head and looked at Shin with teary eyes.
Of course, the tears had been accumulated in her eyes and were about to flow down no matter what he was going to answer.
'…'
'Was she lonely too?'
Shin realized that even if the system didn't show that soone was lonely, they could still be lonely.
Since loneliness wasn't actually a status effect and would only show to those who have been that way for quite a long ti.
Since she was barely 6 months old, the status effect didn't have the 'lonely' word. Needless to say, she was indeed lonely which Shin understood after hearing her words and shaky voice.
"Yes of course!"
"I am your friend!", Shin said with a smile that was natural.
As soon as she heard that, she ended up crying. This was the first ti he had seen a beast, looking like a tiger, crying like a girl or a baby. Of course, she was a female, but being such emotionally unstable made Shin realize that beasts were no different than humans.
They too had a certain degree of intelligence and showed similar behaviors. Though the intelligence stat for the cub was less, it could still be considered that it did have intelligence.
She then slowly moved towards him and said, "Thank you…"
And then closed in further and licked his face. Probably that was a form of appreciation or a kiss. It was confusing for Shin though because animal behaviors varied greatly and he knew not about all of them.
Whatever he understood that he now had her as his friend which ant that he had a strong ally beside him.
Even though raising her and taking care of her and protecting her from many things might be a hassle, it would be worth it, after all, her max. rank which was showing was definitely S.
Shin thought that this was the perfect mont to officially make her part of his own team, though, for that he had to ask her.
"Hey, I want to ask you sothing…", Shin mumbled.
"Yes…?", the cub looked at him after licking away her own tears.
"I was wondering, will you co with ?", he asked.
"Co with you?", the cub was a little confused because the dialect wasn't direct.
"I an, I am in search of a friend, so I want you to co with …", was what he said.
"…"
She didn't reply and just looked at Shin as he explained further.
"There is a friend that I have and-"
He told her about Aella and how he missed her and failed to protect her.
Also, he ended up telling about his ambition of building a kingdom where everyone would be safe.
Although he didn't want to reveal it at the mont, he thought about actually asking her this in order to avoid future complications.
Of course, he gave her plenty of ti to think about this – whether she wanted to follow him or not.
Also, he said sothing else which actually won her heart – "No matter what decision you take, we will always be friends…"
Upon hearing that, she had a weird sensation in her heart.
She was young and hadn't matured yet, but the feeling that rose up was new to her, it was probably attraction or respect which was developed after hearing about his ambition.
A thing to note was that only similar beasts get attracted to each other. This ant that a tigress would get attracted towards a tiger or vice-versa only!
Certainly, a horse wouldn't get attracted towards a tigress, which wasn't possible in both, the previous and the current world.
But of course, this law didn't apply to Shin too. He was basically attractive to all, of course, only to males at this point.
His another cheat perhaps, that is, his charms weren't restricted to only wolves!
That was why he could contact and communicate with almost all beasts and races and could be friends or allies with anyone he wanted.
The cub thought about it for a few seconds and then said, "Yes, I would like to join too…"
The mont Shin heard that he thought that he had succeeded in persuading her.
It was as if he was successful in making another ally who would be a great power in the future, however little did he know that the cub was smart enough to add a condition in the deal which they made.
"But I have a condition…"
While Shin was enjoying the mont from inside, he paused and got serious when he heard her say that.
"Condition?"
"What condition?", Shin asked.
"…"
The cub didn't think much probably because she had already decided upon what she was going to ask.
"You won't stop from leaving your side when I want to…"
"…"
Shin knew that the condition might have been sothing important, but never did he imagine it to be sothing like this.
It was shocking to him and the sa was for Terran too.
Terran ended up getting agitated after hearing that,
"You want to leave his side during his tough tis right?"
"Master, it's better if we not take her!", Terran said with a raised voice.
Shin sowhat understood what Terran said.
In the tough tis, where Shin would be counting for her strength and help, she might end up leaving which might end up causing double the trouble to Shin.
So, it would be best to not include her and Shin was thinking about it when suddenly a system notification popped up.
'Ding'
[ The system advises the host to accept the condition ]
"…"
To be continued…
