Chapter 544 A Distracting Diversion

Gumihou: Mediate the eeeee!!! and summarise some of the many repeats of Things We Already Know d.a.m.nit. Redid the whole chapter, more or less.

So, that person is coming.

The next morning, I set my familiars down to tell them The News. There was no way to hide this fact, and it is my duty as their Master to allow them the opportunity to mentally prepare themselves for a certain someones presence.

Naturally, I made sure to have this talk after a good breakfast.

What person? Grandpa Gon looked tensed.

Umu

, is it that-

Dont say it!!! Dora-chan screeched, cutting off Fers slow drawl.

What is it~~? Who is it~~? Sui bobbed in place looking curiously at everyone in turn.

Ah, Sui-tan is the cutest~~

Also, I vaguely remember That Person said something about If you happen to catch a Leviathan, do bring it over~ when they heard that I was heading for Verulean.

I-I cant imagine what his reaction would be once he heard that we really did have a Leviathan in our hands

By the way, Dora-chan was flying around the room going Gehh!! and Nooo!! while Grandpa Gon had practically turned into stone . I could not even begin to guess what was going on inside the Ancient Dragons head. Whatever it is, it must have something to do with Dragon Breath.

No, no, thats a little unfair to That Person.

Hes a pa.s.sionate person. An expert in his field. People may call him a pervert, but thats only when it comes to his pa.s.sion. Hes the acknowledged expert, everyone says so. Look, even the Royal Capital Guild sends for him.

Hes the pro among pros.

A super pro.

So pro that he tipped over into being a perv.

Umu

, hes still the best in his field, said Fer.

kuuuhhhh was the only thing that came out of Grandpa Gons mouth. The wise and eloquent Ancient Dragon had been aggravated to the point of making incoherent sounds.

I guess Dora-chan muttered as he sulked in a corner.

I supposed, between the annoying Elland-san and eating Leviathan the prospect of eating Leviathan won by a small margin.

Heres to hoping that

that creature

would be distracted by the Leviathan, said Grandpa Gon.

Huh, yeah, Im going to make sure Im far, far away from that thing, said Dora-chan.

why do I get the feeling that Elland-san is being treated like a giant c.o.c.kroach here? I mused, feeling a little sorry for the Elf.

Speaking of which, I heard that Elland will be here in three days, said Willem-san.

haahhh

haaahhhhh

My two Dragon familiars looked especially depressed. Well, I cant blame them. Sui extended her tentacles and tapped Grandpa Gon and Dora-chans paws.

Okay~?

Ahh, my Sui-tan is so compa.s.sionate~

Oi, whats with this gloomy atmosphere? Fer snapped. Why are you two so miserable even before that Elf is here?

F-fer? Why are you being so insensitive you overgrown ball of fur!!?

Wh-whos an overgrown ball of fur?! Im a majestic Fenrir! A

Legendary Beast

!

Yeah, yeah, whatever, youre not the one hara.s.sed by that person hey! Get your foot off my head!!

I tugged at the fur on Fers forepaw.

How dare you call me an overgrown ball of fur!!

Grrr, if you step any harder and my head explodes, just who is going to cook your precious Leviathan, huh?

The paw suddenly disappeared. I glared at the overgrown ball of fur that is Fer.

Humph, said the overgrown ball of fur.

All three of us, the regal Grandpa Gon and resentful Dora-chan, were glaring at him. Sui looked back and forth between us for a moment before bouncing to my side and puffing up her cheeks in the cutest glare I had ever seen.

Fer looked away.

We glared.

He turned another 30 degrees away.

We kept glaring.

Suddenly, he turned around and stomped one paw on the ground and loudly cried, Humph, its all that stupid Elfs fault. How dare he hara.s.s my companions!

We maintained our glare.

Th-thats right! That perverted Elf kept trying to touch Dora-chan and poke Grandpa Gon for his blood and saliva, its disgusting! I, the great Fenrir, have the obligation to protect my fellow familiars!

yeah, you do that, I said.

Haaahhh

Haaaahhhhh

U-umu

, my companions! We should go hunting to alleviate our mood! There is nothing better than a nice hunt to relieve ones worries!!

Yay~! Pew pew~!

Sui clearly had no idea what was going on, but she caught on to the word hunting soon enough. Before I knew it, plans for a hunt were already underway.

O-oi, are you guys really going to go hunting? said Willem-san nervously. [1]

Well, it will be another few before the actual dismantling starts, right? I said, I understand that theres no choice but to wait, but surely its fine to let them go and spend their energy a bit?

Thats

Umu

, lets go!

A hunt sounds like an excellent idea.

I dont care about anything else, lets goo!!!

Yay~!! Hunting~ hunting~

H-hey, arent you going to stop them? Willem-san looked like he was going to pull out his precious hair.

I looked at him for a moment. Then, stepped back and waved a hand for him to step forward. You are most welcome to try and convince them not to go.

There was some bl.u.s.tering, some hemming and hawing, but in the end, Willem-san did not step forward. Not that I blame him. Hopefully, the next time he tells me to control my familiars, he will remember this moment.

I-if youre going hunting, where do you plan to go and, and for how long? he bl.u.s.tered.

I looked at Fer, the mastermind of this trip.

Well?

Umu

, not far. Not with Grandpa Gon anyway,

I felt it when Willem-san twitched next to me. Still, I maintained my serene expression and said, As he says, please help me to report this to the Royal Capital Adventurers Guild later.

Umu

, s-sure

[Gumihou: A rather short chapter, but not too bad.]
