Chapter 38

Gasp. So I do have a great grand genius wizard thing as expected. But it wasn't the time to be amazed.

"T-Then isn't it dangerous right now too? Am I not allowed to be with Blackie now?"

Then the black idiot smirked as if he heard something interesting.

"You are underestimsting me way too much."

He was thinking weather the see me pitiful or feel bad himself.

"Do I look like a guy to make a person I saved to die again just because I couldn't fix that problem?"

N, no.... I'll say no so please do not shove Blackie in your mouth. I sweatdropped hugging Blackie tight.

Then the bast*rd pushed the empty plate on the table and leaned back on the sofa. He then crossed his legs and it looked very not mannered.

"Thank me from stopping your dad from killing it."

Ah right! He said that Claude tried to kill Blackie.

"It seems like you are very loved. He tried to kill it immediately when I told him it. But if it could've been more dangerous when he actually died because all the mana would go back into your body then."

Just then a memory of the voice in my dreams passed by but I didn't know why.

I remembered the expression Claude was making after I woke up. The body which stopped moving and the eyes and the emotions he showed too.

"Right. There aren't much people who owns a divine animal these days. I didn't want to explain it again so I told him it was some kind of magical living being. And your Blackie was saved when I said he can be used treating you."

Blackie suddenly started to lick my hand. I got curious looking at his big golden eyes looking up at me.

"Then did Blackie avoid me before because he knew it would be dangerous to me?"

I just spoke but when I thought abbout it, I had a thought that that would actually be it.

Gasp, it actually can be the case since our Blackie is smart! Because Blackie is a divine animal of me who's soon going to become a gread grand powerful genius wizard!

But the black idiot interfered in my amus.e.m.e.nt.

"Uh, no? They can't do that. Divine animal's attitude are only from its owner. Just like Blackie stealing chocolate like you."

He was like 'hmm' then he started to smirk. But I had to shiver and be surprised at his next words.

"Tell me. You honestly want to escape the palace, right."

Flinch.

"You want to leave quick without being noticed by anyone, right?"

Flinch flinch.

"I've examined Blackie for a while now but Blackie. He always hides and he always goes out the window, like every time literally. And divine animals are likely to be like their owner."

"N-no. What are you taking abo...."

"And you hate me so much right? You wish I was gone right now. You also wish you'd never see me again?"

Very flinch!

"See? That is why you're always on your guard everytime when I do a thing."

Qiiing, quing.

Him who leaned closer to me while talking, took my Blackie away. And I realized that when I heard Blackie whimper.

Wait when did he take Blackie again!?

"Its because you are trying to eat him that Blackie is scared!"

"Wow, so you don't dislike me? You're not scared? What a relief. I'm actually really weak hearted that I get hurt easily when someone say they don't like me."

"...."

This crazed bast*rd.... Speaking nonsen....

It was hard to act okay with this. But the problem is that he looked really cute in the appearance of a boy with a little more higher age than me. Kuckk. I won't believe it. When was I weak to kids?

"But do you have to stay in that appearance? Why are you acting young?"

I asked with insatisfaction. I didn't like him making me interested and it was annoying him acting innocent and well mannered in front of the others.

Then he hugged Blackie who was struggling to get out tight in his arms.

"Do not say anything like it unless you want me to eat Blackie."

"Gasp, what?"

"The mana I have now is like a trash amount and staying looking like this will help save my mana even a very little bit. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't be like this acting the way I am right now."

Then you could just say that nicely! Why do you put Blackie's life into it? I really can't put my guard down on him. Just when is he leaving? Get outta my eyes now! Crowl.

"I could go into my actual appearance then since I had enough mana but all the time is a bit too much. I'll stay like this until I gain more mana."

He was a high school guy when I woke up in 48 days.

Even though he put me in panick when he turned into his mini version when Claude and Felix came in. After that, he was always like this.

But he started to smiled patting Blackie.

"ah right. Your mana was actually really delicious than expected."

...Huh? What's delicious?

I stared at him not believing what I heard just now.

"Don't look at me like that. Its only eating your mana that will reproduce. There's no other way to heal you except for making those mana disappear. But it's a waste if they were thrown out than me eating to gain mana."

Goosebumps.

...So did you eat it? You ate it...? Did you heal me by eating?! Was it because of me that you were in an a.d.u.l.t form for a moment when I woke up?!

"Even so, why did you eat it!"

"Kkyuuang!" (That's Blackie XD)

"You dare..?"

Blackie suddenly crowled and started to alap with his tail in the middle of being pet by Lucas. Seems like Blackie's anger exploded.

"You're acting pretty cute right now."

"Qing, Quiiing...."

But it wss only for a moment as Blackie whimpered as he set his tail down again.

"Take it. He's too scared."

Bast*rd for once gave me my Blackie back without a fuss.

"You're dad's coming."

Hah, you gave him back because Claude was coming?!

Click.

"Princess!"

Deja vu. I ran to Claude in his arms.

"Daddddd!"

Claude looked back and fourth at me and Lucas, feeling something was wrong.

"I...."

I opened my mouth about to say 'Ibdon't like him!'. I'll tell it all! That you are playing with age, thar you came here to steal Blackie once, and how you are just acting right now!

I tried to know how thing was turning around and since he is my savior I wanted to give him a chance but look! He told me there was nothing else to do!

But the black idiot must've realized what I was going to do and he spoke a word a second faster than me.

"I apologize if you were offended by my words, princess."

"H-heh?"

E-eh? What's up with him? Why is he suddenly apologizing? I didn't say a word yet!

"But princess's pet is a creature even some great wizards have hard time handling that princess should be far apart from this creature as possible. However seeing princess like this creature so much, it is the best to shorten the time with the creature."

What? What are you talking about!

I became speechless at his words. When did we talk about that?!

The idiot who changed his character into a young fragile genius character again was shaling with tears in his eyes.

It seemed like a person not knowing what to do after seeing he offended a person he's concerned about. And I being a stubborn naughty child refusing to give up on something that could be dangerous!

"True. I believe kicking him out is the best option."

Claude who was suspecting him a moment ago sharply agreed. Of course I was shocked.

Even though I know not killing it is a miracle to ask for Claude but to kick him out!?

"D-dad. That oppa told me Blackie was not dangerous anymore...."

"There's no guarantee for a dog to not bite his owner again."

Blackie isn't a dog! And don't look at my Blackie with that gaze! Wahh, see? Pur Blackie is scared now!

"Since princess's mana is still unstable, it is best for him to stay away. More than 3 or 4 hours a day with Blackie can be really dangerous."

"Ahh I feel backed up. It is so great to have this young wizard around."

Felix complemented him not knowing my trye feelings. Claude seemed to be annoyed but he didn't say a word of killing Blackie. I just stared at the black idiot acting fragile.

I give up. This bast*rd already succeeded in hiding his identity.

"I'll be going now."

"Bring this with."

Claude glared at Blackie as if he was looking at a trash. Sh*t, why are you all doing this to Blackie!

"Dad, dad. Can't Atti give foodie to Blackie? He must've been hungry."

Of course I couldn't say that out loud. That's because I'm precious. I asked Claude actung pitiful as possible. My aegyo might work.

Claude stared at me wordlessly for a moment. Then he opened his mouth.

"Looks like it is best to kick him out now."

"Huh? Wizard oppa, what did you just say? You're gonna give Blackie his foodie instead of me? Thank you, oppa!"

"I changed my mind. Right now, immediately."

"*Y-yawn*. I keep on yawning. Atti is sleepy, daddy."

I yawned ignoring Claude's cold gaze. And I laid my head on his shoulder, signaling the black idiot.

Quickly leave with Blackie, quick! He seemed to hold his laughter but soon bowed mannerfully and left.
