Chapter 33: The Beast

"Don't-!"

Mino, who was unconscious, suddenly woke up, roared hoarsely, and stretched out his right hand stiffly forward, as if to grasp something.

After yelling, Mino realized that he was lying in a strange room, the whole room was delicately decorated and beautiful, it looked like it should be a girl's room, and he didn't have any restraints on his body, so he didn't think he would appear here as a prisoner.

After confirming the safety of his situation, Mino realized that his right hand was stretched out in a daze, remembering the previous dream, he stiffly withdrew the outstretched hand, and his eyes remained with the fear brought back from the dream.

Suddenly remembering something, Mino suddenly lifted the quilt on his body, and his two hands groped around in a panic, like a girl checking whether she had been violated.

The outfit that Mino's original outfit was gone, replaced by an extremely loose regular suit, with a large circle of medicinal bandages wrapped around his abdomen.

Hurriedly untied the bandage, revealing a deep wound that had not yet healed, reminding Mino of the trauma he had suffered here.

"This injury is real, I was really hit by the Wind Scythe, then the dream just now is real-Sister Yelai!"

Seeing the wound on his body, Mino was stunned, recalled the nightmare he had before, muttered to himself, suddenly recalled the scene of the dream in which Yelai was killed by Dubert, screamed and got up from the bed, regardless of his serious injuries and the weakness of his body, he stumbled and rushed out of the door.

Mino's wound hit by the Wind Scythe was barely scabbed, and when Mino rushed like this, the blood scab on the wound cracked, and the blood flowed for a long time, not to mention, the pain of the wound tearing directly made Mino fall to the floor.

"Mino, what are you doing here?! After being so seriously injured, if you don't die, you will die, and you still want to run around, don't you really take your own life seriously?"

Just as Mino struggled to get up from the floor, the door to the room suddenly opened, and Kaguya was shocked to see the situation in the room, and quickly helped Mino back to the bed, and took out a bottle of potion and poured it on Mino's wound.

Under the effect of the potion, Mino's cracked wound quickly scabbed, and the blood gushing out of the wound finally stopped.

"Sister Kaguya, Sister Yelai ............"

Mino, who was helped back to the bed by Kaguya, didn't care about the sharp pain of the potion falling on the wound, grabbed Kaguya's sleeve, and asked about the situation in a panic, his eyes full of worry, for fear of getting bad news.

"Anla, your Sister Yelai is fine, except for a little blood on her body, not even the slightest oily skin has been scratched, you can rest assured that the concubine said so. ”

Before Mino's words were finished, just hearing Yelai's name, combined with what he saw when he came in and Mino's expression at this time, Kaguya understood what he wanted to ask, and replied angrily.

"Really, it's clear that the concubine is the one who fights with the idiot old man, but as soon as Xiao Nuo wakes up, you only know that you care about your little girlfriend, and the concubine's heart is broken, and she knew that the concubine won't come to save you. ”

Although he knew that Kaguya was just joking, looking at Kaguya's frowning appearance, Mino still had the urge to take her into his arms and apologize for comfort, but fortunately, the sting pain of the wound distracted Mino and didn't make him do anything strange.

"I'm sorry, Sister Kaguya, I just had a nightmare just now, I dreamed that Sister Yelai was killed by Dubert, so I ............"

Although he was not confused by Kaguya's performance, Mino thought about it and felt that he had done it badly, and solemnly apologized to Kaguya.

"The concubine is just joking, Mino, you know what the concubine understands, and we are............ Xiaonuo, you don't have to be so angry. ”

Seeing that Mino really apologized to himself, Kaguya was a little embarrassed and hurriedly explained.

Although the key points in Kaguya's words were vaguely omitted by her, it also made Mino understand what Kaguya meant, so she stopped dwelling on these things and asked about other things.

At this time, Mino was fully awake, and he recalled everything he had experienced before he fell into a coma last night, and what he was most concerned about was why Kaguya was able to rush to the rescue at a critical moment.

Thinking of this, Mino asked, and to Mino's question, Kaguya replied:

"This, do you remember the badge that the concubine gave to Mino, when the shield magic sealed inside took effect and was shattered, the concubine sensed it, and followed the direction, and it happened to save Mino. ”

Thinking of the rabbit badge that allowed him to get emergency funds in the Lost Chamber of Commerce and blocked Dubert's fatal blow for himself last night, Mino nodded knowingly.

"Mi No, you are really, although that arrogant old man has no skills, but it is not something you can deal with now, if it weren't for the good luck this time, the concubine just smashed Cui Lan, Mino you will really be finished. Speaking of last night's incident, Kaguya couldn't help but count down Mino when he thought that Mino almost died at the hands of Dubert, "Didn't you tell you not to be so reckless before the concubine left, Mino, you really didn't take the concubine's words to heart at all." ”

Scratching his head, Mino smiled awkwardly and defended himself: "The situation is critical, and I didn't know that this would happen." ”

"Mino, don't do such a dangerous thing again, okay?" Staring into Mino's eyes, some tears gradually appeared in Kaguya's eyes, she suddenly took Mino into her arms, and pleaded complainingly in his ear: "The concubine can't always be by your side, if the concubine is not there one day, and you are involved in this kind of thing, even if the concubine is torn into thousands of pieces after the concubine, what is the use." ”

"Don't let the concubine worry about you, okay, Mino. ”

Suddenly being held into Kaguya's arms, feeling the warmth and softness of Kaguya's body attached to him, Mino's body stiffened suddenly, and then gradually softened in Kaguya's mournful outpouring.

Inexplicably, Mino thought of Agade again, and remembered the desperate and dead aura on his body after learning that the murderer of Puke might be the Phantom of Trilan.

The thought that after his accident, that appearance might appear on Kaguya, his sister, Yarai, and Aunt Kashya, Mino was terrified.

Gently wrapping his arms around Kaguya's waist, Mino promised Kaguya that he would never get involved in such a dangerous thing again.

After that, Mino recuperated for three days in this room that was originally dedicated to Kaguya, and with the help of various precious potions, his injuries were finally healed.

Kaguya had wanted to take care of Mino, but after accidentally breaking Mino's wound while changing his bandage again, he had to abandon the idea and leave it to Chelsea to do the work.

Probably Kaguya has never taken care of others, although he has the heart to take care of Mino, but he is always clumsy to help, which delays Mino's recovery.

But even so, Mino can still see from Kaguya's actions that Kaguya really loves himself, otherwise even if he takes care of himself because of the so-called family origin, it is impossible to do this for himself.

In this way, Mino was even more puzzled, how could he have made this goddess-like girl do this for her unknown self.

In these days, Mino has asked Kaguya about it more than once, either implicitly or obviously, but Kaguya always cares about other things, just doesn't answer Mino's questions.

About to leave, listening to Kaguya's tone, she will also leave Trilan after Mino leaves, and I don't know when we will see each other again, Mino plucks up the courage and knocks on Kaguya's door, intending to ask her for a result.

"Sister Kaguya, I'm ............"

As soon as she knocked on Kaguya's door, before Mino could speak, Kaguya pulled her into the room and blindfolded by her.

Blindfolded, Mino followed Kazuya and slowly moved towards the place where the table was placed, and under her guidance, Mino rubbed on the table, and soon touched a small fluffy ball.

"Young Stein, how about the concubine gave Mino's magic pet, do you like it?"

"Steiny?" Holding the hairball in his hand in front of his eyes, Mino carefully observed the little white beast with two long ears like a rabbit, and asked suspiciously, "What kind of monster is this, why have you never heard of it?"

"Of course you haven't seen it Mino, this kind of Steine beast is a special species in the Lost Bamboo Forest, and the entire continent is only found in the Lost Bamboo Forest. ”

Teasing the little Staimon that Mino was holding, Kaguya replied with a little pride, explaining the characteristics of the Staimon to Mino.

"Steinibon is a very agile little animal, their ability to perceive danger is almost comparable to that of prophecy, they can detect the danger dozens of meters away in advance without warning and choose the best way to dodge, the concubine gave it to you, I hope it can help Mino, you can detect the danger in advance, don't encounter such a dangerous thing this time. ”

Kaguya's voice is soft and flat, as if it's just a simple explanation, but the care for Mino contained in it is real.

"Of course, those are the instincts that Steiners have, and as a rare Staple beast among Steines, this concubine has a very useful ability: stealth, so that this little guy can become a qualified scout pet, not a simple pet. ”

"And it seems that this Stacymon has other abilities that have not been developed, Mino, you can explore them after you sign a contract with it. ”

Although both abilities are biased towards survivability, which does not match Mino's original expectation of a combat pet, this Steinian beast is full of Kaguya's concern for him, and is full of Kaguya's heart, so that Mino can't afford to refuse, even if a mage can only have one pet.

After Mino's nod and acceptance of the Stamen, with Kaguya's help, Mino quickly signed a contract with the Stamen, making him a pet who had a heart for him.
