1091: Chapter 204: I’m Still a Man 1091: Chapter 204: I’m Still a Man “Chitter chatter chitter chatter, chitter chatter chitter chatter.” Outside the fog-covered wandering forest, a scorpion-tailed lion lay on the ground, hands over its head covering its eyes, pretending to be a corpse.
However, the Winged twins standing to its left and right clearly didn’t even want to spare a corpse, tugging at the mane on the lion’s neck, whispering advice in its ear that had been repeated many tis over, but the two girls didn’t tire of it one bit.
As for Dillie, the recipient of this advice, he had already stopped resisting, other than playing dead, he could only feebly wave his tail from ti to ti in protest.
“Heh, they really care about each other.” Not far away, the others gathered together, snickering while watching the twins show worry and unease for the first ti.
Catherine and Pannis leaned against the sa tree, murmuring softly, “It’s hard to imagine, the carefree Winged twins, also revealing such a side.”
“Can’t help it; they are the closest of friends, three people, just counting the days they’ve spent together, it’s already more than a hundred years.” Pannis said with a faint smile curving his lips, his voice gentle, “The three of them have hardly ever been apart, especially when facing danger outside, they always appear together.
You could say, ever since their first encounter in Lorraine Valley they…”
“I’m not a lolicon.” Dillie, with his acute hearing, vaguely caught sothing and suddenly sprang up, almost knocking over the Winged twins, and turned around to scream at Pannis, “I am definitely not!”
Of course, the scorpion-tailed lion’s roar was t with bemused stares from everyone, the group looking stunned at Dillie, who also seed sowhat dumbfounded after his outburst.
It was only after a mont that Pannis asked, “What are you talking about?
Is that your hotown’s language?
What does it an?
And why did you suddenly start shouting?”
“No, it’s nothing, forget about it, just so boring self-inquisition.” Dillie shook his head, muttering under his breath, only to et the unfriendly gaze of the twin sisters.
“Stupid little lion.” “Almost killed us.” “Why did you suddenly jump?” “Can’t you act a little steadier?” “Exactly, you’re about to face danger on your own.” “And you’re still so clumsy, how can we not worry?” “Don’t you know we worry about you too?” “Don’t cover your ears.” “Let tell you, once you go in there, you must be mindful of your surroundings.” “That’s right, that’s right, don’t think it’s the Forbidden Land of Living Souls, and just because you won’t be attacked, that you’re safe.” “I’m telling you, it’s not just your own kind there.” “Hey, are you even listening?”
“Spare , please, I beg you.” Dillie groaned weakly, “I’ve already morized it all, I promise.”
However, the particularly worried twin sisters clearly had no intention of letting him go, once again grabbing him and making him lie on the ground, chattering away with their advice.
“Actually, Mr.
Dillie doesn’t really want to go, right?
It’s mainly because of Miss Maya and Miss Tiya that he agreed to go along, isn’t it?” Everyone was reluctant to disturb the three about to part, rely watching with smiling eyes, not rushing them.
But after a while, Catherine’s smile faded, and in a lowered voice she asked, “The two Winged Misses are also aware of this, so they feel guilty about Mr.
Dillie deep down, and that’s why they’re so concerned about his safety, right?”
“There’s that reason,” Pannis nodded.
“But they are also truly worried about him.
Their feelings for each other are much more sincere than you might imagine.
Don’t ever mistake that for the affection one has for a pet.”
“How could I think that way?” Catherine couldn’t help but chuckle and discreetly elbowed Pannis in the waist, saying dissatisfiedly, “I just feel that Mr.
Dillie used to be the overlord of the outer forest and adventured with you guys.
His strength must also be very powerful.
If there wasn’t so special reason, the two Winged ladies wouldn’t be this worried, right?
Just like you, Her Majesty the Queen and the two High Priestesses didn’t give such overcautious instructions.”
“Dillie is different.
If we weren’t really lacking in combat power, I wouldn’t want him to join us either,” Pannis shook his head and sighed.
“Although Dillie is a magical beast, he’s very peculiar—he almost doesn’t know any of the combat skills innate to magical beasts.
He fights solely on instinct.
That’s why he’s often bullied by the other two overlords, even though he has mastered his domain, nothing much changed.
To put it taphorically, he is like an ordinary person who suddenly gained imnse power but doesn’t know how to use it at all.
Theoretically, this shouldn’t be possible, so there must be so other reason.
Of course, that was his state when Maya and Tiya first t him.
After many years of experience, his combat awareness has improved, but compared to normal powerhouses, there are still so deficiencies.
And there’s another key point—his ntality.
He doesn’t have the ntality of a strong person.
To put it another way, he is truly very timid, as timid as a frail ordinary person.
It’s very hard for soone with that mindset to exert their full strength.
That’s why Maya and Tiya are so concerned about him.
They fear that despite his imnse power, he might cause unnecessary outcos due to his own reasons.”
“Timid?
That’s hard to see,” Catherine shook her head.
“Soone who dares to accept this mission for his friends, risking the danger of death to delve into the core of the Forest of Death, I don’t think he’s timid.”
“That’s why, although he always complains, he agreed without any hesitation.
It really moved .
For that, I almost feel…” Pannis sighed, hesitated for a mont, and then slowly walked over to the trio, crouching down and patting Dillie’s back.
“Old friend, I’ve thought it over these past few days, and actually, you don’t have to go with us.
I’ve calculated, and if we’re careful, the combat power of the six of us should be enough.
You don’t need to take the risk and go with us.”
“Are you serious?” the scorpion-tailed lion suddenly lifted his head, staring at Pannis and asking, “Don’t make jokes at a ti like this.”
“I’m not joking,” Pannis said earnestly, shaking his head.
“I’m very serious.”
Dillie’s eyes lit up, clearly hesitated for a while, but eventually, he lay back down on the ground, swishing his tail and saying, “Forget it, since we’ve co this far, I might as well go in with you.”
“Eh?” Even the Winged twins were very surprised and asked in unison, “Why?
Little lion, weren’t you the one who least wanted to go in?”
“What do you know,” Dillie huffed discontentedly, muttering, “I may be a coward, I may be a good-for-nothing, but at least I’m still a man.
Having the ability and yet leaving a bunch of little girls in the most dangerous place—that’s sothing that I, at least, cannot bring myself to do, roar~~~~”
