Chapter Twenty-Eight: Anna's Forest Adventure
Saturday, July 22, 197 in the continental calendar. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The sunlight began to penetrate the leaves, shining in, and the girl's little face was flushed.
The birds chirped merrily, changing positions and observing the human under the tree who made them feel kind.
The birds gathered more and more, and the melodious sound of birds finally woke Miss Anna from her sleep.
"Good morning." Anna greeted everyone happily, and she went to the creek to wash her face and rinse her mouth, and then took the wild fruit that the birds had brought and ate her breakfast happily.
"Good morning, Lord Kevin." Master Kevin walked slowly at his pace, and Anna spotted it and greeted it.
"So, have you already eaten it?"
"Don't you like to eat these fruits, ah, sorry for asking such a strange question."
"Leopard must like meat."
It seems that it does not want Miss Anna to see it hunting, and it always avoids Miss Anna to forage for food. And when it came back, it couldn't be seen that it had already eaten.
Forget it, after all, Miss Anna is Miss Nancy's only relative, and in a way, Miss Anna can even be regarded as Miss Nancy's mother. So it's very normal for Lord Kevin, who likes Miss Nancy, to make a good impression in the eyes of Miss Anna, no, mother-in-law to be precise.
I don't like blood, that's the nature of girls. Miss Nancy is so slender and always drinks milk. And Miss Anna is actually just a 10-year-old human girl, not to mention that Miss Anna is a beast whisperer, and it would be too bad to kill in front of her. She's going to be absolutely upset.
Of course, maybe Master Kevin didn't think that much, but his instincts made it think it shouldn't do it.
One man and one beast continued to set off, and now they have crossed the border of the kingdom of Dika Nor the kingdom of Kaunki, and have entered the hinterland of the kingdom of Kaunqi late last night.
"Are you going to eat barbecue at noon?" Anna is now sitting on Lord Kevin's back.
"That's right, how can Lord Kevin have strength if he doesn't eat meat."
"Well, yes, but how do you bake it?"
"So, it turns out that Lord Kevin won't either, but I won't say either."
"Uh-huh, let's try it anyway."
The two continued to walk through the forest, discussing the issue of food at noon. Kevin is a thunder leopard, his height is not comparable to that of a war horse, and Miss Anna is still the size of a child, so he can easily move forward in the dense forest. Don't worry about tree branches or anything blocking it, and don't worry about the terrain being too complicated for the horse to move. As a result, Miss Anna's route is almost straight, with few detours unless you encounter lakes, abysses and cliffs that are difficult to cross.
Miss Anna was guiding her brother according to her own senses, and the sense of blood was very strong, even from such a distance. Of course, if you get too close, it will be easy to ignore, just like if you stay in a strong fragrance for too long, you won't feel it.
The Thunder Leopard may not be as fast as a monster like a land-cocoon turkey, but it is very reliable for short distances, because it is this ability that allows the feline to hunt its prey. And the thunder leopard is even more prominent, the adult thunder leopard can control thunder and lightning, and the thunder and lightning can make the muscles burst out with amazing power in an instant.
For example, the deep stream that could not be crossed can be passed at this time.
Enjoy the feeling of flying...... Of course, Miss Anna can fly herself, but Lord Kevin probably wants to show off her strength.
Anyway, the two reached the opposite side safely, and Master Kevin did not slow down, and soon carried Miss Anna into a jungle.
After letting Miss Anna come down, Lord Kevin went hunting. It first left a circle of its own smell around it, preventing some malicious beast from harming Miss Anna. Then deliberately walked a long way to find suitable prey.
Miss Anna, of course, didn't know that Lord Kevin was attentive, she just felt that the whole trip was very enjoyable.
Miss Anna applauded Kevin happily as she leisurely brought her slain in her mouth, and began to study how to make a delicious roast of the fresh game in front of her.
With the help of his paws and teeth, Kevin first peeled off the rabbit's skin, and then went to the creek to clean the blood and internal organs before taking it back in his mouth.
Anna found a sharp dagger encrusted with gems in her duffel bag and was a little eager to try it. Does every girl have a talent for cooking?
She had sharpened a wooden stick with a dagger and skewered the rabbit.
Gather a pile of firewood a little rusty, and then set up the rabbit. This was the first time Anna had done this work, but she had seen it many times before on the way to escape from Francondo under the escort of Midew.
"Can Lord Kevin use lightning to set these firewood on fire?"
Mistress Kevin shook his head.
"Hey, can't you......"
"It's a pity that Brother Dyce isn't here, and he didn't bring the kind of stone that produces sparks this time."
"Spitting fire?"
"Anna is not a dragon, how can she spit fire." As she spoke, Anna exhaled as she spitted fire from the dragon.
Rumble. Firewood, lit.
Barbecue in sight. Mistress Kevin was very happy.
As a result, Miss Dandiliel and Miss Impus also did not show up on Friday. On Saturday, the weather was rarely clear, and Days was a little idle, so he came out alone and wandered around the inn.
Melina's cough was still not good, and to his surprise, Rita said that there was nothing she could do about it.
"I've tried all the medicines, and it seems that I can only go to a place with a hot spring to recuperate for a few months."
I thought it was a wind chill in the Hurricane Mountains, but it turned out that the wind chill caused the previously latent disease to break out in advance.
Melina's body temperature was a little hot, and Days wanted to send Melina back to Cellon Castle immediately so that she could soak in the castle's hot springs every day.
But it's a long way from home, and you have to cross the Hurricane Mountains. I didn't know there were hot springs near here, and I didn't know anyone here. The officer who had sent him here had also left.
Therefore, Days has actually pinned all his expectations on the appearance of the Impus sisters.
Perhaps it was Dyce's prayer that worked, and Miss Dandeliel and Miss Imps did appear.
They didn't come by horse-drawn carriage, but slowly along the river, as if on a walk.
Days didn't notice them, he was still looking down in thought, worried about his female companions.
When Rita arrived, it was as if she had become a different person, just like the local weather, and it was foggy and drizzling all the time.
Melina's illness is the cause of Dyce's anxiety, and only Sophia is still healthy, like the summer sun in the kingdom of DiCasna.
Miss Dandiliel spotted Days first, and she whispered to Miss Impus, and the two of them played with each other, and Miss Imps trotted over first.
"Hey, Dyce, I didn't expect it to be you."
This sound startled the pensive Dyce, probably because of anxiety recently, and he didn't sleep well, so Dyce was easily frightened recently.
"Uh, that, Dan, Dee, no, that, oh, no!"
What had been fearing for the past few days finally happened: Miss Impus kicked Days so hard that it hurt him to jump on one foot several times.
Miss Impus had spent a good time watching Dyce's "dance", and Miss Dandy Liel finally arrived, and secretly pulled Miss Impus's dress a few times, so as to remind her not to lose ladylike manners outside.
Days finally stopped, and for the sake of safety, he took a step back before daring to greet the two young ladies: "Good afternoon, Dandiliel, Imps." Originally, I was on the battlefield a few days ago, but I came here for various reasons. ”
"What, you didn't come to see us."
Impus's words immediately embarrassed Dyce, but fortunately Miss Dandiliel was a considerate person: "Welcome to Odin, Dyce-san, I'm sorry I didn't come to greet you at the first time, I didn't return home until last night when I was with Impus for a tribe's summer hunt in the snowfield."
"Whereever, where, please forgive me for the sudden visit."
The opening meeting between the three came to an end for the time being, and Days led the two noble ladies into the inn where they were staying, talking to them about what they had seen and heard on the road, but most of the time it was Imps and Days talking.
"You made it over the Hurricane Mountains, I thought you came in a magical airship. The kingdom of Dikasna is quite far from Bergen, so it must have taken a lot of time, right? ”
"Luckily, it took about six days - because of Rita's help."
"Rita is?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's Mr. Rita. It was Mr. Moonlit Yong Frankendo, who taught us Potions. ”
The surprised expressions of the two girls were completely revealed on their faces.
"Who's calling me?" It's like a stage announcement, and when it's over, the heroine appears.
Rita-sensei slid down the handrail of the stairs, her long skirt like a blooming flower.
Miss Inps made a gesture of beating Dyce and yelled "No looks". Then he kicked Days neatly.
It's very unfortunate that both times it was kicked in the same place.
