The White Stoat Princess (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 3
‘Ah, what do I do? This time he’s grabbed me by the scruff of my neck, making it even harder to escape.’
I trembled as I stared blankly at the man who had lifted me up.
He was a man with wavy black hair and red eyes that were close to crimson. The sharp line of his jaw and the firm line leading to his neck stood out especially.
‘He’s handsome…….’
To my eyes, which had grown dull to others’ appearances from only sleeping, eating, and swinging a sword on battlefields, he still shone with a dazzlingly beautiful face.
And just as I was examining his face, he was carefully inspecting me as well. He frowned and muttered.
“A white weasel? But why are its tail and ears pink?”
“Kyu…….”
How would I know? I only just found out that my ears and tail were pink.
As I pouted, I suddenly blinked at the energy I felt from the scruff of my neck he was holding.
‘Huh? This man seems to have the same fire mana as me?’
People who can bloom mana from their hearts are extremely rare, and among them, those with the flame attribute that possesses the most powerful destructive force are even rarer.
The reason I, a princess of a kingdom, had no choice but to stand on the battlefield was precisely because the mana I possessed was of the flame attribute.
‘Yet this man also has the flame attribute.’
Could he be a strong knight too? Perhaps because I felt a sense of kinship, I grew curious about many things. That was when it happened, as I looked at him with curious eyes.
The man who had been turning me this way and that to examine me closely stroked his chin and muttered.
“Hm, well, since it’s a weasel anyway, if I catch it and make jerky out of it…….”
Twitch.
‘J-jerky? Is he serious? Once the bones are removed, there’ll be nothing left.’
To make myself look even smaller, I hunched my shoulders as much as possible. Whether my little trick worked or not, the man shook his head.
“……Too small.”
Relieved, I let my head droop. But it was too early to feel safe. This time he tilted his head the other way and muttered.
“If I skin it…….”
Skinning again.
‘He wouldn’t skin me alive or anything, right? What would he even do with my fur in the first place? It wouldn’t even cover his palm. So just let me go.’
Terrified, I trembled and looked at him with pleading eyes.
‘Are you really going to kill someone as cute as me?’
Take this, my eye-beam attack!
Fortunately, the eye-beam attack seemed to work; he shook his head again.
“……Well, I don’t feel the cold anyway, so I have no need for it.”
‘Phew.’
Relieved, I let out a huge sigh of relief. Then suddenly I glared at him in indignation.
‘This guy! Is he playing with me right now?!’
He’s totally toying with me, flipping back and forth like that!
‘Hmph, but he’s the owner of the bread, so I’ll let it slide.’
Since all of this started because I ate this man’s bread, I decided to endure it.
I focused again on the bread still clutched in my paws. Even though I had already eaten half of it, the bread was still fragrant and delicious.
The man who had been watching me crunch and swallow the bread with a fascinated expression tilted his head.
“……But why aren’t you hot?”
“Kyuu?”
‘What is he talking about.’
What’s hot? The bread has already cooled down.
Feeling bewildered but still diligently tearing into the bread, I belatedly realized what he meant and my eyes widened.
‘Ah.’
The heat he was talking about was his own palm that was holding the scruff of my neck.
‘No wonder I thought his palm was radiating heat.’
This man apparently hasn’t yet learned to control his mana properly.
The remaining half of the bread also ended up in my stomach. After diligently brushing even the crumbs on my mouth into it, I looked at the man’s red eyes that somehow seemed melancholic.
‘I was welcomed the stronger my flames were, but it seems that wasn’t the case for him.’
Since we were at war, everyone rejoiced no matter how terrifying the flames I raised were. After all, those flames were what protected the kingdom in the end.
But if there is no war, the flame attribute is terrifying beyond measure. It can burn anything to ashes and turn it into ruins in an instant.
‘Has he not learned how to handle flames? If he had met my comrades, they were so used to fire that they would have taught him well even if his attribute was different. Just how much time has passed?’
It can’t be that I woke up after all my acquaintances grew old and died, right?
Perhaps because I was having serious thoughts that required a lot of energy, a loud noise came from my stomach again.
Grrrrrrgle!
At the loud sound, the man widened his eyes and stared at me.
“……!”
My face burned on its own from that gaze. I snapped for no reason.
‘What? Why? Is this your first time hearing a stomach growl?’
My sullen face immediately melted at his next words.
“……Eat more.”
“Kyu!”
He had taken out a new loaf of bread!
‘Screw it, whatever. They say even the ghosts of those who died from overeating look pretty.’
I hugged the bread with both arms and legs. It was the exact same bread as the one I had devoured earlier, yet it tasted brand new.
‘Ah, it’s seriously so delicious. There’ll never be bread this good again in my entire life.’
I mindlessly crunched away at the bread. Perhaps because I looked pitiful, or because he thought I wouldn’t run away, the man gently placed me down on the floor. But he didn’t simply leave me alone. As if checking whether I was really a weasel, he kept touching my ears, head, and everywhere else.
Even while enchanted by the bread, his touch bothered me, so I glanced back.
‘Why does this guy keep poking and prodding me like this?’
Has he never seen an animal before?
‘Well, it could be his first time.’
This is my first time as a weasel too. Who would’ve thought that first time would be in this body?
Fine, you find it fascinating. Go ahead and be fascinated all you want. Meanwhile, I’ll diligently eat my bread……
“Kyung!”
“……?!”
The moment I decided to ignore him, his fingers slid down my back from the scruff of my neck all the way to my tail. Startled, I bristled my fur and growled.
“Kyuuuung.”
When I bared my teeth and glared fiercely, even the face of the man who had been calm and expressionless the whole time showed a hint of panic. He muttered in a small voice, as if making an excuse.
“This is the first animal that doesn’t mind my touch…….”
‘Ah.’
I was simply startled because some random guy suddenly stroked my spine, but from his perspective, he was just touching a weasel because it was fascinating.
‘Well, how would he know any better? Right now I’m nothing more than a mere weasel.’
Still, uncomfortable is uncomfortable. I stared blankly at his now sullenly handsome face, then eventually sighed and turned my body with a swish.
‘Fine, touch my tail instead.’
My tail slapped the back of his hand with a smack. At that, his sullen face brightened a little. He narrowed his eyes suspiciously and asked.
“Does this mean it’s okay to touch?”
“Kyu.”
I nodded. Then I buried my face back into the bread I was holding with both paws.
Perhaps my earlier growling had shocked him quite a bit; his touch on my tail was far more careful than before.
‘He’s touching so gently. It tickles.’
At least he probably wouldn’t startle me like earlier. Feeling reassured, I concentrated on the bread.
‘Ah, delicious.’
Maybe because I had starved for so long, the bread went down incredibly fast. In no time I finished off a loaf as big as my own body and flopped onto the floor, lying on my back.
“Kyuu…….”
So full.
I must have been too greedy after starving for so long and discovering bread. I couldn’t move at all and just lay there panting heavily. Only my belly bulged out roundly on my otherwise slender body.
The man who had been staring at me curiously poked my belly with his index finger.
“All that bread fit into this belly. No, two loaves?”
Caught off guard, I quickly covered my mouth at his sudden attack.
‘Ugh! Don’t press! It feels like it’s going to come back up.’
I had stuffed bread all the way up to my throat, and now he presses my belly. At this unexpected assault, I flailed my limbs.
That was the moment. I don’t know what he was thinking, but the man suddenly poured mana into the tip of his finger.
‘Ah, warm.’
In an instant, vivid fire mana flowed into me. It felt like warm water pouring into an empty vessel.
Feeling the familiar fire mana after so long, I experienced a satisfaction as deep as when I first bit into the bread.
‘Ahhng.’
My cheeks flushed red as I smiled in great contentment and went completely limp. At that, the man startled and lifted me up.
“Don’t tell me you melted?!”
Who melted?
He seemed genuinely worried, so I managed to squeak while still limp.
“Kyu!”
“Phew…….”
He really had been worried about me. Surprised by that, I narrowed my eyes and looked at him. With the light behind him, shadows fell across his face, making his expression hard to read.
“……For a moment it looked like cheese melting and spreading out.”
All I could hear was a voice that sounded like he had truly been concerned.
I stuck out my tongue and giggled.
‘I was just happy to feel warm.’
Even though only a tiny amount of fire mana had flowed in, my whole body brimmed with energy. It felt like I had come back to life after dying.
And finally, I realized.
‘Ah, so my heart had frozen over.’
I could no longer produce the explosive fire mana I once had. Because it had already gone out once.
‘But I can still absorb mana from others.’
And right nearby was someone who could give me the flames I needed.
Very, very powerful flames at that.
“Kyu.”
“Hm?”
The moment I realized that, his handsome face now looked utterly dazzling and beautiful.
I took the initiative and rubbed my face against the back of his hand. His pupils trembled slightly.
“Are you really okay?”
“Kyukyu.”
What wouldn’t be okay? I’m in the best condition since opening my eyes again.
Hey, handsome guy over there. Don’t you want to keep one little weasel?
