Surely this examination too, unless Yohan uses magic, he’ll use a magical tool.
I can tell he’s going to measure with that crystal ball…
‘It’ll be trouble if it breaks, or if the numbers come out wrong.’
So, I prepared a countermeasure.
[Dash]Try using the fairy’s power when measuring. While using it, it doesn’t go into the magical tool but escapes outside, so it’s highly likely it won’t be detected. [Dash]How can I use the fairy’s power? [Dash]The easiest way is to keep talking with us without resting. [Dash]Does talking use the fairy’s power? [Dash]Yes. You unconsciously use the fairy’s power. Of course, it’s not a big burden.Yohan patted my shoulder and said,
“Don’t be too nervous. It won’t hurt at all.”
“Really?”
That’s when I felt something soft near my ankle.
‘A tail?’
I didn’t notice when it appeared next to me.
Growl[Dash]
A black panther magical beast with shiny black fur, intimidating size, and claws. Its red eyes were very close to those of a monster.
Several black panther magical beasts elegantly approached me.
“They guard my lab.”
“Not monsters?”
“They’re a hybrid of monsters and animals. So it was tricky to tame them, but not impossible.”
The monsters that attacked me last time came to mind, so I tightly held Yohan’s hand. Yohan smiled as if he liked that and whispered,
“But they don’t like people much. Be careful not to get bitten.”
“Is it okay to be like this?”
“At least they know well that they’ll die if they attack me, so don’t worry.”
Better not reach out and get bitten.
Then an unusually large magical beast came right in front of me. A starlike pattern on its forehead seemed to indicate that this black panther magical beast was the leader.
‘What is it trying to do?’
Suddenly, the black panther magical beast laid its massive body flat. It even wagged its tail at me.
“Want me to pet you?”
The black panther magical beast nodded its head.
No matter how big, a beast that resembles a cat acting like this was very cute.
When I carefully petted the black panther’s head, it closed its eyes in pleasure and purred.
When I scratched behind its ears and forehead, it even laid on its back exposing its belly.
The magical beast’s eyes sparkled as if shouting, ‘Pet me more! Scratch me more!’
“They’re already tamed, so they’re gentle.”
I bent down to scratch its belly and even gave a kiss to the starshaped mark on its forehead. Then the black panther magical beast licked my cheek with its tongue, wagging it in pleasure.
“Kyaaang[Dash]”
As I adored one of them, another magical beast gently put its paw on my knee. It seemed to want attention as well.
The other magical beasts also approached me, glancing at the two that had come up to me, and stealthily approached me and rubbed their chins.
Johan muttered, “They’re not like those other guys…” and then asked me with a twinkling eye, “Do you like these guys?”
“I see why you keep them, Johan. They’re very affectionate.”
The one sitting on my lap scratched at my arm as if asking for more when I stopped my hand.
“Johan. What are their names?”
“They don’t have names. Magical beasts don’t like to be named… but I think they’ll like it if the lady names them.”
“Really?”
When I looked at the magical beasts again, they pricked their ears and shone their eyes at me.
It was as if they were looking at me with an expression that said, ‘I never did that?’
Johan, looking at me addicted to the soft fur of the magical beasts, asked,
“If you like them so much, shall we take one to the mansion?”
I had been tense until now, but thanks to the black leopard magical beast, I had relaxed.
“Then just one. I think it would be nice to have.”
It was really time to examine now.
I stood in front of the crystal ball with the affectionate magical beasts behind me and raised my hand.
Whirring[Dash]
Something black in the crystal ball shook.
‘It’s going to break, I guess!’
Now it’s black! I hurriedly spoke to the trees.
[Dash]It’s really going to break. Please say something quickly. [Dash]Really anything? [Dash]Yes! I’m so nervous right now that I can’t think of anything to say. [Dash]Okay, then a hippo, as promised. Heh heh.The tree that cleared its throat asked in a sly voice.
[Dash]Didn’t you promise to spread fertilizer to us before going down to the Duke’s estate last time? [Dash]Ah, yes. I promised. [Dash]But the gardener spread it, but not enough. [Dash]Of course, it’s not because we were tired from giving you the blessing of summer.The voice of the tree became sadder.
[Dash]You don’t have to do that. We don’t want anything in return. Just keep using the fertilizer you used to. [Dash]I’ll talk to the gardener as soon as I go up. [Dash]No. You’re already going through a tough time. It’s not like we have problems if we spread less of that fertilizer. [Dash]Here, I’ll do it for you.I asked for anything, but this is not it.
