The Little Companion Of The Beast

Episode 10.

Yes, she must have misheard. It would be rude to ask the same thing twice, so Becky asked it differently.

“You two are lovers, right?”

“We’re not that simple.”

“Or what?”

“A community of shared destiny.”

“Isn’t it the same thing?”

“It’s different. The former can be separated, but the latter cannot be separated.”

Is there anything more changeable than love? Nancy and Borhard are connected by something stronger than love.

Exactly, desire.

He could fulfill her desires, and she could fulfill his. As long as there was something for each other to gain, they would be together.

Of course, even if it was a solid relationship, confirmation was necessary.

“While we’re on the subject, should we try it?”

“yes?”

“How far will you tolerate Nancy? Didn’t you say that the prince despises dancing?”

“…….”

“My heart is pounding with excitement, isn’t it?”

He dared to provoke the royal family, he was no ordinary man of courage. If this was a bet, Becky would have bet that the 4th prince would strike back.

But, what a surprise, his expectations were pleasantly wrong. The 4th Prince was so pleased that he even gave him a reward.

“Nancy would have been disappointed if you hadn’t made her happy.”

“How could I hate it?”

“If I had hurt Nancy, I wouldn’t have told you.”

“What are you talking about?”

“The constellations are starting to deviate from their orbits. I think a new era is coming.”

“Let’s go in and talk about the details.”

Becky was confused as she watched the two disappear affectionately. Was their relationship normal or abnormal?

“Should we go back soon?”

The troubles seemed to have been sorted out, so Haska prepared to return to the cave. He planned to sneak out around dawn. It would be a hassle to come out in a group and stand in a line to be seen off, and he also had to avoid the butler who was looking for him.

I guess he’s been looking for you because you scared the humans during the banquet. He must be feeling guilty for not being able to stop you at the time.

The butler, who was prepared to bare his neck and offer advice, was too much for Haska to handle. He should talk a little more.

“What did I do? I threatened you, I hit you.”

Don’t be a picky eater, don’t be a picky eater. Just two words. It wouldn’t be a problem to tell a skinny person to eat a variety of foods…

Can’t humans hold back tears? Can they get eye disease, or even go blind?

“…….”

If he had prevented a child with aphasia from seeing him, he would have been speechless, but Haska had his own excuses.

The bright yellow eyes that were shining while sobbing. It felt like crying those eyes was a more serious crime than committing a heinous crime. I didn’t care even though I had a lot of blood on my hands, but my conscience was strangely prickling. That’s why I threatened him.

‘It’s so small and fragile, I have no idea how to handle it.’

It seems like being close will only cause harm, so it’s better to stay away.

The beast that had been fighting head-on came out of the castle as if evading. It was almost as if it was going to pass through the castle gate.

I heard the sound of someone running, kicking the ground. When I turned around, a small doll running towards me caught my eye.

“human being?”

No matter how dark and far it was, there was no way that his eyes, which could see a hundred miles, could have been mistaken. The one running barefoot and waving his hands wildly was clearly an immature human. He ran straight without falling, so much so that it was hard to say that he was blind.

It’s scary to see that it’s okay,

“Euuuuuu.”

A human comes running towards me, making a strange noise. He looks like a crazy lamb, which makes me suspect that he is mentally unstable this time.

The unusual behavior didn’t end there. The human who had chased him right up to his nose suddenly grabbed his wrist. Haska was speechless at the extraordinary act of touching his body without permission.

“Ahhhhh.”

“Let go, or won’t you let go?”

If I were to shake it off, I could easily pull my wrist out. However, I don’t know how much strength I should use. Then, the human grabbed my wrist even tighter and hung on. Then he spoke something in a slurred voice.

“What? You told me not to go?”

“Ugh, ugh.”

“If I go, I’ll be in big trouble?”

His face, half-asleep, moved up and down. His eyes, thick with sleep, were filled with stubbornness.

As if she wouldn’t fall, Staria clung tightly to Haska’s legs, and her cheeks were pushed up. She must have eaten two plates, because her fat was quite plump.

‘I guess you did as you were told.’

For a moment, Haska thought that the child was really obedient, but he couldn’t figure out why Staria was acting like a leech. First, he had to separate the humans.

“If you keep holding on, you’ll be the one in trouble.”

Even though I threatened him with all my might, he just trembled and never let me go.

Haska wanted to throw him away. But even if he pushed him away just a little, the human would fly to the river. It was a task to go there and retrieve him.

Most problems could have been solved by using force, but Haska had to resort to persuasion, something he had no luck with.

“Let’s talk apart.”

“Ugh.”

“Aren’t you going to bounce right back as soon as you drop it?”

He was round and dull, but his wit was incredibly quick. Haska sighed and asked.

“Let’s hold on to it and find out why.”

“Ugh.”

“Don’t just say no, tell me why. Why, is the cave collapsing?”

“…….”

Did he hit the nail on the head? The screaming man suddenly became a savage.

***

Was it when I started walking? When I fell out of a tree? When I spit out broccoli?

I don’t remember exactly, but Staria often had dreams. Among the dreams, there were dog dreams, but there was one dream that was so perfect that it was amazing. It was so amazing and fun that the things I saw in my dreams happened exactly as they were, and the neighborhood was excitedly talking about it.

Of course, no one believed him because he was talking nonsense and it didn’t make sense. The more he talked, the more excited he became, but his endless rambling finally came to an end when he was dragged away by his mother.

My mother sat me down and taught me strictly.

‘You shouldn’t talk carelessly about dreams. It can cause negativity. Especially, if you tell the person who appears in the dream, that person can get angry, so be careful, be very careful. Do you understand?’

It was a warning that had been ingrained in her ears. So Staria could not tell Haska. She said that she had seen a white foot caught between the rubble that had collapsed last night. All she could do was hang on and prevent it from going away.

however,

“Don’t just say no, tell me why. Why, is the cave collapsing?”

As expected, he is a master of poison!

Not only can you understand the words that don’t make sense, you can even read my inner thoughts.

“Do you know how old that cave is? It’s over 2500 years old. If it was going to collapse, it would have already collapsed.”

“Ahhhhh?”

Since it’s been that long, isn’t it time for the cave’s life to end?

“He’s framing a perfectly good cave.”

“This is so shocking,” said Haska, pushing her forehead with his index finger.

“Even if there is a landslide, I will be safe.”

You might get hurt!

“Get better soon.”

But it’ll still hurt… … .

Haska, who had been responding to the awkward voice, let out a laugh. It was because he realized the reality of responding sincerely to a human who only reached up to his thighs. What kind of useless thing is this?

“It’s none of your business, so don’t worry about it and go inside and get some more sleep.”

But Staria wasn’t the type to be pushed away even if you pushed her away. Even while suffering from aphasia, she said everything she wanted to say.

Why doesn’t it matter? I can be Haska’s bride, right?

“Ugh? Eww?”

Even though you must have known my annoying temper, you didn’t just run away, but attacked me instead…

Haska was truly curious to see how swollen the liver of an underdeveloped human was.

“Aren’t you afraid of me?”

If I said I wasn’t scared, I’d be lying.

Since she was going to get caught anyway, Staria honestly shook her head from side to side. She shook it loudly because she was a bit scared.

“You’re scared, but you still want to become a priest? Why?”

My heart was pounding.

Doesn’t that question sound like something asked before a wedding vow?
